INSIDE THE MILITARY: On a military base in
Florida — the Patrick Air Force Base — there is an insti-
tute engaged in training military personnel for all
branches in the U.S. armed forces as instructors in human
relations instrumental in combatting racial bigotry, anti-
Semitism and discrimination.
The primary purpose of the institute is to promote
harmonious relations in the U.S. armed fortes. In addition
to training staff officers or instructors in human(race rela-
tions, the institute disseminates educational materials and
guidelines for use throughout the armed forces. It also
provides consultant services to Defense Department organ-
izations. It conducts research and performs evaluations of
its programs' effectiveness. Its library has more than 8,000
books and .5,500 pamphlets, many of which deal with the
subject of anti-Semitism. It also has 1,800 audio-visual
items and 200 professional journals and newspapers, in-
cluding American-Jewish newspapers and publications.
ADL MATERIAL ON BIGOTRY: The anti-bigotry
program which the institute conducts is similar to the pro-
grain conducted by major Jewish civilian organizations
among the general population but more specific in knowing
its audience.
Among the materials used by the institute are some
published by the Anti-Defamation League of Bnai Brith.
The institute also maintains contact with the American
Jewish Committee. Among the members of its staff and
faculty are Jews holding high military positions. Some of
them go out of their way to declare in their records that
their religion is Jewish, although regulations offer a choice
to declare non-preference for any religion. There are more
than 30 religious denominations listed by the institute as
standard data prescribed by the Department of Defense.
Policy guidance for the institute is furnished by the
Race Relations Education Board of the Defense Depart-
ment. The position of institute director rotates from service
to service every three years. The present director is Captain
Michael J. Marriott, U.S. Navy.
Because members of the Army Reserve and National
Guard find it difficult to put in 16 weeks of residency in the
institute, a combination of residence and correspondence
study has been developed for them. They are required to
reside the first two weeks in the institute, then to follow up
with 15 subcourses consisting' of 111 hours of corre-
spondence work, then resume their in-residence in the in-
stitute for two weeks which constitutes the final phase of
the course. All three phases must be completed in one year.
UPROOTING PREJUDICES: Although the
graduates of the institute are limited in their in-
structorship to function only in the ranks of the armed
forces, their influence in combatting bigotry goes much
further.
Many men enter the armed forces with anti-Jewish
and anti-black prejudices implanted in them by bigots in
their home towns. Civilian organizations fighting bigotry
cannot reach them in their military installations to uproot
the implanted malicious propaganda. However the in-
structors of the institue have been trained for this very
same job — to eradicate bias. The men poisoned with anti-
Semitic propaganda are educated by the instructors while
in the armed services. When they return home later to
civilian life their minds have been cleared of prejudice
against national minorities. The biased feelings they had
carried in their pre-military years under the influence of
malicious elements gradually dissolve under the influence
of the education on human relations they receive during
the years of service in the armed forces. The work of the
institute instructors thus continues to have its effect on
them for the rest of their lives.
That this work is effective can be seen from the growth
of the program of the institute. Its in-residence course of
study has evolved from an initial seven-week program in
1971 to the 16-week program of today. Field evaluation
enables the Department of Defense to determine the ability
of the institute graduates to accomplish the objectives of
their instructional program. All indications show that the
are successful in performing the mission for which they
were trained.
