The Ugly TruUi: No miore generalities.. .We'll give you a concrete example of how the K.K.K. operates, not In Alabama, but In the state-of New York.. We discovered the Incident on the spot. The. big dallies and the news agencies did not carry this story... In Freeport N.'Y'., lives a peaceful Jewish family, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Faber. They have been living there for .1-1 years. They decided to sell their home, and In "the true American way did nol exclude from their list anybody because of race or creed... So they'Isold their home ''to a lovely Negro couple," as Mrs. Faber de¬ scribed the people who bought .their 'house, lit should be men¬ tioned that the Faber hortie borders on the edge of the Ne¬ gro section o f Freeport and that the house next to the Fa- bers was sold recently to.a Ne- gi'o, who was afraid to/ move into his newly bought house; he now rents It out to a white family)..In any case, the other dawn an arrow was shot through the front screen dpor ¦bf the Faber residence, bearing a two page vitriolic letter, at¬ tacking Negroes and Jews, Among other things, the letter contained this little poem: ';V1- olets are blue, Roses are red, Jews are better. When' they're dead"...The letter Was signed K.K.K....It must Ije reported to the credit of-the Fabers that the Jewish couple refuses lo be In¬ timidated. When Mrs. F'aber called the police, she received numerous-telephone calls threat¬ ening l« "fix her"...Our de¬ fense' agencies are not Interven¬ ing, although the Faber case is Just "another In a series of acts of violence  and  vandalism]

An Open Letter to the Jewish Community
Perhaps yyu have or', have not heard that the Jewish Community of Columbus is faced wjth another emergency. During the past months, and In Ihe months to come, this community has been asked and -tvill be asked again to take care of s(;me of the people being'sent to Amg'rica, so that -D. 1'. camps which have followed the horror camps of Europe will be wiped from the face of the earth.
¦yes, for the first time in a decade, the people who^have survived the horror chambers will figaln find ,it posslbli; to lead a normal life. But this normal life cannot be attained without your help as 'members of the Columbus Jewish Com¬ munity.
The two most Important problems in the adjurjtmenl of these newcomers to the new life In America are hoUNing and jQb opportuiiltles.; At the present time there are several families with children who do not have adequate housing. An announcement of more families to arrive here soon has b(;en received by the Jewish' Welfare . Federation. The Fedeititlon is dependent upon your cooperation. Do you " ha\o any cn^Ty'rooms or apartments that you can rent out. td'ihoso pooplo' If, so, plea.se call Schonthal Center, MA. (ITIT'and Id us know. n
We als(i have several men who have not. yet found work to support their families. Some of them are tailors, some are butchers, ^(?hle are shoemakers. AH of them will work at most any task that will give them an incoilie.so ihat thfey may support their famlWes with .self^respect that has been denied Ihem for so long. If you need any people lo work fur you, why*hot contact Schonthal before you contact any¬ one else. We may have the right man for you. And you in turn will have the satisfaction {/! helping one of your fellows lead a happy and normal life again. Let uti not have any "dlsi;laced pe|¦^ons" in Columbus! ;
