Fifteen Jewish business men formed a non-profit corporation with the objective of furnishing ; . . "a representative organ fqr the various Jewish organization* in the city and a medium with which to promote Jewish communal activities." ' Morris Jacobs was named manager of the "Jewish Press," who was then a reporter with the Omaha Dally News. Mr. Jacobs, now president of ISozcJI and Jacob*, Inc., said he had stayed up nil night writing his first editorial. In It ho slated: "Conceived in desire to respond to a "communal need" and fnspired by thq Ideal of "Communal Service," the Jewish Press was founded. Writing on the topic of prejudice Mr. Jacobs lashed out against bigotry. He said: "An enlightened public opinion will rebel agnlnxt such propaganda, which at heat Is nothing short of an insult • to Its Intclligcnee.'MallcIous libel and unfounded slanders may cmbarranii for the tune, but they cannot long endure. Yet, there can be no excuse for the Jew to remain passive In UiU crisis. He must combat thews accuiatlons. He need but present to the world the truth •bout himself and hjg, relationship with It . . . "
