-NEWS IN BRIEF
Jews in South Reported Strongly Affected by Segregation Problem
ATLANTIC CITY, (JTA) ~ The predicament in which the Jews In the South find themselves as a re- suit of the desegregation contro¬ versy waa widely discussed by Jewlah leaders from many com¬ munities assembled here at the conference of the National Ccrtn- munlty Relations Advisory Coun¬ cil.
The Jewish leaders, representing the American Jewish Cohgress, Jewiah Labor Committee, all nat¬ ional Jewish religious organiza¬ tions, Jewish War Veterans and many Jewlah community councils, were told that the Jewa In the South find themselves In the mid¬ dle of the fight between the "White Citizena Councils" and the Negroes with regard to Implementation of the Supreme Court decision against segregation. Dr. Arnold Rose, Pro¬ fessor of Sociology at the Univer¬ sity of Minnesota and an authority on minority and civil rights prob¬ lems, told the conference:
"Jews are somewhere suspected in the south of being relatively liberal-minded in regard to civil rights, which they are on the aver¬ age, although many individual Jews are vicious proponents and practlcers of discrimination. In order to avert suspicion, and even worse things like boycott, some Southern Jewish merchants are joining the White Citizens' Coun¬ cils, although their relationship Is nominal. Nevertheless, race preju¬ dice has a slippery quality, and In some Southern communities the Citizens' Counclla aro attacking Jewa as well as Negroes.,
'In the national Jewlah organl- zatlon?, most of the Influence of southern members la directed to¬ ward asking for 'underatfinding' of the South and toward opposing public expressions of support for the Negro and the Supreme Court. Some of the national Jewish lead¬ ers have consequently become ar¬ dent proponents of the 'moder¬ ation' philosophy and among the most active spreaders of tales about incipient violence in the South. These Jewish leaders are contributing to a most serious dis¬ service to the Jewish groups as well as to the whole nation. In my.
opinion.
"Southern Jewish leadors," Prof. Rose declared, "can be expected to keep quiet about the Negro prob¬ lem so as not to draw fire on them¬ selves. But national Jcwiah leaders have the opportunity that other American leaders have of helping to rtd the United States of Its major Achilles heel, which has particularly threatened the Jews. If they do. not take a long-run and courageous view of the current crisis, they are playing the same role that collaborationist Jewa played in Europe during the Nazi period. National Jewish leaders arc not on the personal firing line, and they should be expected to give at least moral support to the battle for civil rights." Prof. Rose aald.
"In this situation," he continued, "Southern Jews who are also nat¬ ional leaders have tb make the hard choice, and In general will have to give up national leader¬ ship, much as Southern Democra¬ tic Party leaders know that they can never hopo^ to run for the Presidency. In a minority -strategy, acme may have to play the colla¬ borationists' role, but they cannot also play the leaders' role, and their national rewards must be surreptitious."
IN A RESOLUTION on the de¬ segregation Issues adopted at Its concluding session, the National Community Relations Advisory Council conference emphasized that "respect for law, orderly prO' cess, and the Institution of govern ment Is a prerequisite to the pres

ervation of our democratic sys¬ tem." The resolution said that "It Is the responsibility of all agencies of government at every level to demand and obtain compliance with the law."
The resolution also asked Con¬ gress to enact Icglatlatlon to safe¬ guard rights to freedom of the franthlse, freedom from personal molestation and the right to resort to the courts for enforcement of Constitutional guarantees. It also called on the two major political parties to Incorporate In their plat¬ forms pledges to support the Su¬ preme Court decision and to use the full powers of all branches of the Federal government to secure implementation of the Court's or¬ der. <¦
In another resolution, the N.C.R. A.C. pledged support of the "right of all organizations working for full equality to carry out their legitimate functions free from In¬ terference and arbitrary restraint." The resolution specifically noted that the National Association for the Advancement of Colored Peo¬ ple haa been banned In several states and faces sln\jlar action In others for exercising Its constitu¬ tional right to "Invoke Judicial process In pursuit of legal objec¬ tives."
The resolution called on the agencies of government—Federal, state an(| local—to fulfill their re¬ sponsibility to the Constitution by exercising their full authority to prevent Interfjerence with and abridgement of Constitutional lib¬ erties and urges upon all cltlzena, In recognition that freedom la In¬ divisible, they protect their own freedom by prbtcstlng any denial of thoae freedoms to their fellow Americans.
The conference also called for the enactment of state, fair edu¬ cational practice laws prohibiting discrimination by hjgher education¬ al Institutions on grounds of race, color or fellgion. It urged "dental of accreditation to any college, university of professional school which dlicriminates in the admis¬ sion or treatment of students on the basis of race, religion, color or national origin."
