Blacks, Jews . Dis cussed at ADL
NEW YORK (JTA)-0p-
posing points of view on pref-
erential treatment and quotas
in education and hiring were
expressed by speakers at a
luncheon session at the
Bnai Brith Anti-Defamation
League's four-day annual
meeting here.
The topic was "Black-
Jewish Relations" and the
speakers agreed that the
fate of Blacks and Jews were
intertwined but that their_ al-
liance, born of a common ex-
perience of racial discrimina-
tion, was being jeopardized.
Dr. Alvin F. , Poussaint,
associate professor of psy-
chiatry at the Harvard Uni-
versity Medical School, who
is black, acknowledged that
"there is still a correlation
between being anti-black and
anti-Semitic," observed, "We
can and should help each
other, not fight each other."
But he defended "the mo-
dification of job and college
admissions criteria" as "part-
ly an attempt to be fair and
objective" and "not neces-
sarily preferential treat-
ment,"
Dore Schary, honorary
chairman of the ADL, said
the need was for extra prepa-
ration in primary schools,
high schools and colleges so
that more Blacks can find
room at the top; loosening
the hardening resistance of
certain labor organizations to
black aspirations; and the
building of more schools and
fewer bombs by the govern-
ment.
Schary maintained that
Jews and Blacks must rid
themselves of stereotypic no-
tions of one another.
The ADL's position on pref-
erential treatment and quotas
was explained by Maxwell
Greenberg, a Los Angeles at-
torney who is vice chairman
of the ADL's national execu-
tive committee.
He said the agency "advo-
cates and supports" the eli-
mination of non-job related
tests and seeks affirmative
action -in the form of corn-
pensatory education, in-serv-
ice training, retr4ining and
special counseling. He added,
however, "In all our years in
the fight against racial and
religious discrimination, we
have insisted that individual
ability must be the criterion."
I have not the shadow of a
doubt that any man or worn-
