In These Critical Times Morris E. Jacob*, Chairman 4 9 4 0 JewUh Philanthropies Hie largest quota ever set by the Jewish Philanthropies is the Tery minimum which Omaha Jewry must raise in order to fulfill its obligation toward the needs of our people suffering overseas. The Mnount of 9104,500 can be raised

by Omaha Jewry only if we inter* pret the need and cause sufficiently well. It must be borne in mind that the largest share of this amount is e a r m a r k e d for overseas relief and refugee help.

A few facts, therefore, about the agencies engaged In war relief, reconstruction, and refugee aid, should be stated here.

The Joint Distribution Committee, which is the largest beneficiary of the campaign, was born out of the last war, and has served Jewry since. Meeting dally the problems caused by the present war, the Joint Distribution Committee encompasses a vast prograin of relief covering some 80 countries. Direct help t h r o u g h •oup kitchens, provision for shelter and raiment is given In Poland, Germany, Roumanla, Lithuania, and all surrounding countries, as well as countries farflung. It Is the Joint Distribution Committee which has preserved the very lives of millions of Jews in the stricken areas.

The United Palestine A p p eal engaged in the task of reconstruction in Palestine, has made it pos•thje for Palestine to become the latmatr haven .lor G e r man. and Polish refugees. More than 7,000 Victims were absorbed by Palestine since the outbreak of war.

Thousands more are on the high seas with Palestine as their ultimate destination. Palestine still presents opportunities for Jewish settlement.

The National Refugee S e r vice deals with the problems of refugees in the United States. Its task is to rehabilitate the newcomers to our shores, provide the mini-, mum essentials needed for their maintenance, and make provision for l the distribution of the emigrees throughout the country.

For all this, these three agencies,* combined through the United Jewish Appeal, are asking for the amount of 123,000,000 which it the very minimum needed for the activities of these life-giving agencies. fii the current campaign, we all realize that c o n t r i b u t i n g to or working for the Jewish Philanthropies one neither gives to charity or works for charity. It is a matter of maintaining the honor and dignity of our people, of ourselves. It is not a matter of securing hand-oats any longer. It is a matter of participation in a program of maintaining lives on unprecedented scale. It is for every •Tews ~ man and women—an obligation which must bo met as a legitimate and essential part as their necessary budget. .. >

FINDS SOSUA LIKE RESORT Dominican Tract Visited

Ciudad TrujiUo, Dominican Republic (JTA) —- This correspondent, who is secretary of the Dominican Republic Settlement association, has just returned from Sosua, 26,000-acre tract donated

by Generalissimo Rafael L. Trujillo, on which the first organized refugee colonization in the New World is to be started soon, I accompanied Arthur M. Lamport, New York banker, who Is visiting here.

Sosua la Bltuated in the north of the island, about 180 miles from the capital. On good roads we reached our destination, in a car placed at Lamport's disposal

by Generalissimo TrujMo, in five hours. We passed fruitful landscapes full of tropical fruit, clean cities and sugar estates. A few miles before Puerto Plata we left the main road and took a short cut to Sosua.

Sosua lies on a bay and consists of a group of 17 houses built of wood and concrete. These houses are all in good condition and give a pleasant aspect. Some other houses are near this place; there are altogether about 40 on the tract. The air was refreshing and we enjoyed a beautiful view (Continued on page 3.)

The District 6 A. Z. A. basketball tournament held at the Center last Sunday aud Monday was won by Albany Park of Chicago downing the Milwaukee aggregation 33-24 in the finals. The two Omaha teams were downed by the champions. Chapter No. 100 was nosed out by the slim margin. of two points in the best game of the tournament 37-35. At one Stage of the game the Century lads had an 11 point lead but they could not hold their l e a d against the big fast Chicagoans.

The Mother Chapter lads were downed by the score of 41-34 In a fast exciting game but lacked the reserve power to carry on la the late stages of the game. Mike Landman who played his first A. Z.

By PHINEAB 3. B1RON HOT STUFF Nostradamus, the 16th century Jewish physician who wrote a book foretelling the events of years then to come, said, among other things, that the day when the Palm and Shamrock meet would mark the beginning of the end of the Germanic empire, Danton Walker recalls . ... This meeting occurred a couple of weeks ttgo, you remember, when both St. Patrick's day and Palm Sunday fell on Dr. Stephen S. Wise's birthday . . . The next day came that historic meeting of dictators at the Brenner Pass — and now we're waiting anxiously to see whether the beginning of the end of Hitler's empire is in sight . . .

It's up to you, Benito, to make Nostradamus' prophecy come true . , . One medical theory, by the way, states that Hitler's general meanness is due to an excessive proportion of fats and eggs in his diet . . . It seems such a diet is bad for both temper and liver . . .

You remember that Dr. Alfred Neumann, the Viennese throat specialist who some years ago refused to operate on Hitler, died in this country a few months ago, after only a short while of freedom and safety in the U. S. . . .

Going the rounds is the rumor that his death was the result of the administration of a slow poison to him in a Nazi concentration camp . . . A book on war propaganda in this country is being readied by Harold La vine a n d James Wechsler . . .

IiOOKA HERE The Treasury department says that it isn't Uncle. Sam's official censor who is barring Jacob Epstein's famous statue of Adam from official entry into this country, but rather the failure of the First Man's importers to file entry applications . . . The new American ambassador to Naziland, Washington whispers, will probably be Clarence Pickett, himself a Quaker, who after the last war helped in the Friends' relief work in Berlin and Vienna . . . If you have three G's to spare you can buy a car specially built for Gory Goerlng at a cost of $9,500 . . .

Herr Herman decided it was too spiffy-looking for use in war-time NEW ZIONIST NEWS Vladimir Jabotinsky's New York meeting was more than a sell-out . . . Hundreds of people who had reserved seats weren't able to get into the packed hall . . Among them were official representatives of the Turkish and Polish governments . . . Our private observation is that Jabotinsky always attracts more young men and goodlooking women ' than any other Zionist leader . . . And this Revisionist meeting: for Jabotinsky overshadowed the New York reception given Dr. Chaim Weizmann as a World Zionist Congress overshadows a Brooklyn Talmud Torah directors' meeting ; . . T h e only thing we didn't like at the Jabotinsky gathering was the fact that Aaron Propes of Poland wore a brown uniform with a Sam Browne belt . . . As he left the building hundreds of Jews booed him, believing that he was a German Bundit who had come there for the purpose of making trouble . . . But when he addressed them as 'chaverlm'* the booers were transformed into a proud escort that Marched down West Thirtyfourth street with him . . .

Reich Calls Bridge Anglo'Jewish Game

Mrs. Sarah Weitz

By DR. THEODORE M. LE¥/iS Rabbi, Pr©gres*ire MB. SMITH, MEET MR. COHEN

BY JAMES W. WISE AND I #. I i B V I N G K R - - KEYN AL HTTCHOOCK, 177 PAGES. This Is an example of dignified Jewish apologetics. I state this at the outset, because so much of the- so-called good will is not only ill conceived and futile, but quite humiliating. Only too often is the attempt made to win the favor ot the Gentile, to influence him, by minimizing Jewish values, by deprecating Jewish differences, by denying those essentially Jewish qualities which are the pride • and glory of Judaism and loyal Jews.

Alas, too many of our people are so demoralized and cowardly that they are ready to surrender precious rights, which are theirs as Americans, in the hope of converting the anti-Semite, or transforming an enemy, who finds hatred profitable and even lndispensible, into a friend.

The volume is not a "defense" • • of the Jew, but an interpretation.

The Jew needs no defense. His enemies need it, and sorely. It IS a brief account, and concise, of the manifold and magnificent contributions Jews have made to this country. It is a record of •which the Jews may well be proud, one that is equalled only by few minority groups and, h o n e s ty compels one to add, exceeded by

none.

.

H. If,

Funeral s e r v ices were held Tuesday at the Jewish F u neral Home for Mrs. Sarah Weitz, 72, who died Monday morning after an illness of three years. A resident of Omaha for thirty years, Mrs. Weitz had been active in local Jewish affairs.

Surviving her are seven children: Ben and Max of San Francisco; Aaron, Arthur, Leo, Minnie, and Mrs. Sam Fried, all of Omaha.

Burial was at the Beth Hamedrosh Hagodel Cemetery.

Paris (JTA) — The German radio warned the population of the Reich aot to spend the Easter holiday playiHg bridge "because bridge is an Anglo-Jewish game.''

The radio announcement advised Germans to avoid Easter travel because of the shortage of trains and to spend their time listening to the radio and playing cards— but under no c i r cumstauces to play bridge.

By what criterion can one de termine who is a Jew, and who is. not? Even the Nazis found this a difficult nut to crack. The authors suggest and apply quite a simple test and an accurate one.

In "What Jews Believe" the religious divisions and beliefs and habits of American Jews are discussed. Instead of being a strong united body, obedient to its leaders, the truth is that the Jews are hopelessly divided just as the non-Jews are — and leadership is neither authoritative nor undisputed.

A bogey frequently raised is the "Jewish" vote. The chapter 'How the Jew Votes" will be eijeedingly illuminating to those who believe in this myth. Those who know Jewish character are fully aware that there is no organization or individual able to sxercise control and direction over Jewish votes.

The Jew votes just as all American citizens vote, in accordance with personal convictions and political preference. The surest way 9 tor a candidate for public office to lose the vote of any Jew is to invite it on grounds of race and religion.

Propaganda Menace "Why anti-Semitism" describes the psychological causes of this sadistic and poisonous movement which is being pushed intensively in the United States and throughout the world by Nazi agents and Nail money. The American reader will be better able to understand local anti-Semitic propaganda and its aims, and the motives of those individuals who disseminate the foul literature. • Since the book is quite elementary, the authors very wisely appended a bibliography under four headings: History; Modern Jewry; Jew and non-Jew, and, General References. The volumes listed are among the best on the subject and will provide a wider and better, understanding of Jews and Jewish life.

Mr. Smith, meet Mr. Cohen, should go a long way towards helping the Gentile understand his JewlBh neighbor. It includes the more important facts about Jews and Judaism which every American should possess for the good of his own soul — and, incidentally, for the welfare of the United States. It must not be forgotten that anti-Semitic propoganda is an instrument of Nazi foreign policy to confuse, divide and disrupt peoples and nations. They must not succeed here. And, they will not.

The theory of Columbus' Jew"ish origin was originally advanced

by Spanish patriots to indicate he was of Spanish ratiier than Italian origin.

'The Jews are not, as antiSemites pretend, new comers. The very opposite is the truth. The first Jewish settlement on these shores dates from 1654 when New (York was under Dutch supervision an<l control, known as New Amsterdam. The one-legged Peter Stuyvesant, then governor of the Colony, did not relish the idea of Admitting refugee Jews to his domain. The directors of the Dutch West Indies Company overruled htm. Since that day millions of Jews have found on American shores refuge and security and peace. la the course of time, Jews found their way into colonies, and during the Revolutionary W a r . played conspicuous roles in the battle against British tyranny.

The financial help given by Hayim Solomon to Governor Morris, to . flames Madison, and to the armies ot George Washington is w e l l known. Jewish money played a decisive, role in bringing victory to the champions of freedom.

In the Civil War the Jews are again found playing prominent roles/and on both sides. The most conspicuous Jew was Judah P. Benjamin whose services to the Confedercy were many and outstanding.

But with all his past life wiped out, with his records burned, his home destroyed, Dr Arctowskl went to Washington's Smithsonian Institute and offered all he had left — his fact-crammed brain.

So the Polish scientist is starting all over again. "I'm grateful," he says, '"for the chance."

Up in the Immigration Bureau clerks are filing stacks of cards which bear numbers. Each of these numbers is a man, woman or child anxious to reach America.

There are ten times as many numbers as there are quota niches to be filled. One in ten, this year, will get In. We can't help but think of the nine who will, by the inexorable Immigration laws, be kept out.

Will one of these boys with a pack on his back be a future Edison? will the young doctor whose application Is turned down discover, 20 years from now, a cure for cancer? Will the girl be a Madame Curie? Will the child with the agile brain become a Felix Frankfurter or Senator Wagner?

And It seems to us, as we think of these things; that surely America must be big enough, and her heart big enough, so that she can afford to give refuge to a hundred thousand — if one of these hundred thousand is a genius who benefits humanity down through this age, and through the ages to come.

A New Center of Crisis A familiar technique la "being utilized by the Reich to force its unwelcome attentions upon Rumania, And as a result of recent events, the Rumanian Jewish community, over whose improved plight we could only a short time ago rejoice, is once more in serious danger.

Rumania is unfortunately s i t u a t e d at tbe crossroads of Europe and to add to the gravity of the situation, she possesses oil. To the warring powers that oil is something worth fighting over.

It is of tremendous importance to the German war machine; it is of greater importance that England prevent Germany's acquisition of the oil supply or tbe oil fields.

The entire Balkans are, at the present time, the focal point for current rivalries — Italy, Germany, and Russia. Under certain conditions, the three may patch up their differences and parcel out spheres of influence among themselves. Yet at the same time, the allies are busy attempting to counter-act the growing influence of the totalitarian nations in this region. ^" All indications point to Rumania as the center of the Fascist drive. Already the Nazis are employing the "squeeze" technique. Whether Hitler 'will confine his efforts to the diplomatic field or •whether he will employ stronger methods is yet to ' be seen.

Pressure has already been brought to bear on the government to recognize the violently antiSemitic terrorists, the Iron Guard, which was suppressed following the assassination of Premier Callnescu last September. It is also reported that German diplomatic representatives are demanding that the present premier resign and former Premier Valda-Voevod, one of the nation's leading antiSemites come to power.

Grave days are facing Rumania and Rumania Jewry. Soon a decision must be made. Whatever that decision Rumania will be tbe loser and the nation's Jews will face the gloomy future that has become the lot of the Jews of Central Europe.

New Ambassador for Germany It appears that the United State is on the •verge of resuming diplomatic relations with Germany. Since November of 1938 when our ambassador was recalled to report on the pogroms, we have not been officially represented in Berlin. In fact, formerly we had legations in four capitals — Berlin, Vienna, Prague, and Warsaw —• all of which are now under German domination.

The action of our government at that time was the only way in which it could express its indignation at the atrocities that horrified the civilized world. To save face the German government, ©f course, had to recall Ha own ambassador.

Though our ambassador has been absent, nevertheless the embassy has been kept open in Berlin and consulates function in other cities. It has not been as though all diplomatic activity between tbe two countries had ceased — as was the case between this country and Soviet Russia until 1933.

The return of an ambassador to Berlin cannot

have any great effect. Oar commercial relations, because of the British, blockade, toave been reduced to almost sotting. No longer are there ras.ny American tatie&als witLio tfee country as all tkose who cosld l&me fled wfcea war was declared. giEce tbe recogcitiOQ of the Nazi government w£,s BOt wit&dr&wn, it seems foolish for us to contitue an unueual situation. By aow G e r m a n y should be convinced tfcat Ameilc&n diplomatic officials and tills government do cot approve of EctOB murder asd destruction &s an iEBtrumeat of political policy. Ambassador Dodd, during Ills years in Berlin, did yeoman work as the representative of a democracy. la Berlin during the most critical days of the Nazi revolution, he constantly impressed upon N&eidom tlie repugnance tbe world felt toward its policies.

We cannot gee eny continued advantage of our not having a representative in Berlin, and if a determined advocate of democracy ie sent, his presence may constantly remind Germany that there is such a thing as civilisation in the world outside its borders.

First Aid When we in America are apt to complain about the constant drain on our pocket books to aid the unfortunate Jews of Europe, we may pause to consider the action of tbe Jews of Germany. Systemically-impoverished until the large majority of them are objects of charity, subjected to the harshest discrimination, deprived of every right, nevertheless they were the first to respond to the needs of the Jews of Poland.

As soon as the terrible plight of the Jews of Poland finally became known in Germany, the Jews of Berlin spontaneously began collections to aid them. Although they were soon forbidden by the government to continue their aid, they had gathered enough to bring some meager assistance to those suffering in the recently-conquered areas.

Jews of other German communities as well, despite the fact their resources are taxed to the breaking-point, Joined the Berlin community in this gesture of solidarity. Undoubtedly the travail of Germany Jews has intensified their sympathy for all suffering humanity. Perhaps they could offer up one little prayer of Thanksgiving that no Jews were in that ruthless army that Invaded Poland with such cruelty.

Whatever sum Germany raised for this venture must have been negligible. But the courageous gesture of the German Jews should be an inspiration to all of us who labor under no such discrimination as they. Theirs -was a noble deed.

Conflict in Dates Serious difficulty is being encountered by local organizations because of the oversights in choosing dates for special events or affairs. Inexcusable conflicts have occurred either through ignorance or a stubborn refusal to co-operate.

The Jewish Community Center maintains a clearing-house for dates and the Community Calendar, compiled weekly by the Center, is published in "The Jewish Press" as a convenience for all organizations. Every effort is made to prevent conflicts of this sort arid a little co-operation on the part of all would facilitate the task.

A number of instances could be noted when organizations deliberately refused or neglected to take advantage of this community service, and as a result, serious confusion ensued.

We are therefore again calling the attention of program chairman and the president of local organizations to the imperative n e e d of clearing dates before announcing events. It may not always be possible to do away with conflict. Unavoidable situations arise.

But wherever it is possible, it is an obligation of the organization to the community to help avoid confusion.

BIBLE And the stability of thy times shall be a board of salvation, wisdom acd knowledge, and the fear ©£ the Lord w&Jth is bis treasure.

He who w&lketh righteously a&d speaketb uprightly, lie who desplsetb. the gain of oppressions, who ehaketh his hands from holding of bribes, who etoppeth his ears from hearing of blood and shutteth his eyes from looking upon evil, he shall dwell on high; his place of defense shall be the munitions of rocks, his bread shall be granted, his waters shall be sure.

Come near, ye nations, to hear, and attend, ye peoples. Let the earth hear, and the fullness thereof the world, and all things that come forth of it.

TALMUD Rabbi Isaac said: "You shall always have the respect for a congregation, for the priests while reciting their benediction stand with their faces toward their congregation, and with their backs toward the shechina (the a r k ) .

Rabbi Chisda said: "There are four classes that will not deserve to receive the Divine presence—•> the class of scorners, the class of iars, the class of flatters, and the class of tale-bearers."

Our Rabbis were taught: "Since the destruction of the Temple, l e a r n e d men began to feel ashamed, and aristrocratic farallea bent their heads, men of acts were diminished, and men of powr began to rule; also, talebearers ruled over the righteous. There is no one to argue, no one to plead or ask for the existence of Israel, and upon whom shall we rely?

Only upon our Heavenly Father."

Rabbi Marl said: "He who is boastful — in tbe beginning, not knowing his exact nature, people like such a man, but at the end he is despised not only by strangers but even by his own household."

Our Rabbis were taught: "Always let the left hand repel those deserving, and the right shall invite, sot as Elisha has done with Gechazl in rejecting with b o t h hands — and the Elisha was punished by God for that."

000,000 human beings without means of defense, completely subjugated by the forces of occupation.. No matter how respectable a position a Jew may have held before, any Volksdeutsche— any simple German — is now his absolute master."

Although the non-Jewish population is also maltreated, "the barbarism practiced against the Jewish population has no equal," the document asserted.

"The Nazi administration In Poland seems, to have no definite plan for a solution of the Jewish problem. Not even the Nazi doctrines are being applied to the Jews in Poland. The Nazi rulers are simply persecuting a-people whp have no means to d e f end themselves — persecutions which are carried out sadistically, without reason, stimulated by the narrow-minded policy of p r o f iting from looting."

The statement asserted that the persecutions, in addition to seeking the annihilation of the Jews, were intended to demonstrate to the Polish population that, mistreatment of Jews was a "freefor-all" in which Poles might participate. "The result of this Nazi policy, however, is exactly the opposite of what the Germans anticipated," the Polish Government said. "The Polish population is manifesting a very clear tendency of Christian sympathy towards the even more maltreated Jewish population."

Discussing expulsion of Jews to the Lublin "reservation" without being permitted to take their belongings, the statement declared: "The Germans, when, e x p e iling Polish peasants from their! land to make place for the Jews, try to make the peasants believe the Jews are stealing their soil. Nevertheless, there have not been any anti-Jewish, d e m o nstrations by peasants, which proves; that they are well aware of who is really responsible." , A Polish Government communique said 6,000 Jewish families have been expelled, from Lodz and reported deportation of Poles and Jews from o.t h e ' r .localities was continuing. Expulsions bare occurred In all towns ot tbe regions of Clchanos and Wloclawek, with the deportees permitted to take with them only 20 matins and' a small supply of food, the statement said.

LETTERS To ifce Eiitor <&1 tiie Jewish Pres» How fast is time going on or ehould I better say bow slowly?

By tbe begtBiiiag of April it will fee a year that I came over here to this country together with my faintly. A German refugee like thousands at other fellow-sufferers, I finally reached the o n l y sheet aaclior and f&ucd shelter in the cue eouEtry which has not yet closed its doors to refugees from terror-struck Europe.

Wiiec I eame over here, now a year ago, I had no friends or near relatives here in this country; I could scarcely understand the language. I was a nonentity among the seven million people in the world's biggest city, in New York. And now, after the first year has passed, I can con* ider what tremendous work i t being done by the numerous Jewish organizations in New York, especially the National Co-ordinating Committee, the N a t i o n a l Council of Jewish Women, the IIIAS, and others.

Sometimes these organization! meet a lot of criticism — how often did I hear tbat it often takes two or three weeks to get an appointment — however, remember that there are thousandth of Jewish refugees in this modern Babylon, New York, who want advice and help from a handful of helpers and officials e m p l o y e d by those Jewish organizations.

Penniless immigrants a s k for immediate f i n a n cial help, for medical assistance, for jobs, for shelter, for advice as how to get a start in American life, etc., etc.

Arrival in Omaha We spent about ten weeks in New York and it was an awful hard time. Once in a while I got odd jobs; however, it seemed to be almost impossible to find a really steady job. S o ' finally 1 asked again for an appointment with the National Co-ordinating Committee, and I got a chance to come to Omaha, a city I scarcely had heard of. In the library I learned that Omaha is a big raitroad center, that there are big packing companies and that it is famous for its n u m e r o u s and beautiful parks. ' Ten days later we came to Omaha with bag and baggage. And from the very first day we had the feeling and were convinced: Here you are welcome, a friend among friends. A nice apartment was already prepared for us, even kitchen-shelves were filled with every kind of food. We were immediately interviewed by memherfi of the Federation and by two ladies of the Emigre Service about eventual needs, about my and my wife's abilities and education lft order to find a job.

We were invited to b e c o m e members of the Jewish Community Center, we a t t o n d e d many meetings of Jewish organizations, the B'nai B'rith, the Council of Jewish Women and others. The Rabbis helped us get acquainted wtih other members of their congregations, and everybody whom we met was nice and cordial to us and helped us to forget that we are refugees.

Today, once in a while I wonder that it is only Ab.on t ten months that we are here in this wonderful community and I think myself to be already a r e a l l y OmaUan. Chance to Show Gratitude Fot, the time being every refugee has a chance to show his gratitude towards our American Jewish friends and incidentally we have a chance to help other, refugees here in this country" and everywhere in Europe. Today a wonderful work is going on in every Jewish community in the United States, "The 1940 Campaign for War Relief and Refugees." In my opinion nobody is better qualified to help this campaign becoming a success than the refugees already here in this country. They know from their own experience the hardship and the terror they had to undergo before finding a heaven here in America.

We can explain to our fellowJews bow happy they ought to feel .because they can live here In the beat country of the world. We can make them comprehend the difference in Jewish life "over there in Europe and bero In tbe United States,-and we can convince them how much less they are asked for because they are only asked for money. , •••',•' * Let us show our gratitude. Let us join the 1940 Campaign for War Relief and Refugees as voluntary helpers. ' .

Accept Enrollment for Hebrew Group

But with all his past life wiped out, with his records burned, his home destroyed, Dr Arctowski went to Washington's Smithsonian Institute and offered all he had left — his fact-crammed brain.

So the Polish scientist is starting all over again. "I'm grateful," he says, '"for the chance."

There are ten times as many numbers as there are quota niches to be filled. One in ten, this year, will get in.

Proceeds of the fund will be used to assist in the emigration and settlement of refugees from Czechoslovakia, t h o u s a nds of whom are outside the scope of existing refugee funds. It is hoped to raise £10,000, chiefly to assist refugees to emigrate to Palestine.

Jan Masaryk, son of the late Thomas G. Masaryk, declared at the meeting that "your cause is my cause," asserted t h a t there was bound to be a free nation of C z e c h o s lovaks after the war where Jews could return and affilmed his conviction t h a t the war would go on until Hitler was destroyed. Neville Laski, former president of the Board of Deputies of British Jews, asserted If Czechoslovakia was not reconstituted after the war the Jews could not hope to resume the position in Europe which they once held.

JEWS IN PUBLIC OFFICE of Cheyenne, Wyo., announced the (Guest Editorial)

By MAItVIN KLA6S Should Jews seek public office?

Should we vote for Jewish office seekers? Various arguments are presented for a negative answer to our query, among which the following are representative: 1. Since Jews are a minority, it is only fair that one representative of a majority group should be elected under the democratic system. • 2. Jews in office, "particularly if "too many," fan the sparks of anti-Semitism.

The first contention strikes at the very root of democracy. No American citizen should have his rights and privileges diminished by reason of his creed or color.

By virtue of his election, one is presumed to represent the majority, regardless of religious affiliation. But even assuming the majority and minority groups are classified by dichotomy based on racial groups, there is a great tendency today to permit minority groups to be represented, as witness trends toward proportional representation (P. R. system In New York) in politics and cumulative voting in corporations.

The second argument presented is anchored to the fear of antiSemitism. First, let it be remembered that Jewish office holders can create good will as well as bad, as witness the prestige ac-
