Sports Rumbling
by Bill Wolf
The ugly face of race prejudice
has once again been seen in sports,
this time in major league base
ball. The victims: Dodger catcher
Roy Campanella and infielder
Jackie Robinson.
While the incidents did not in
volve any Jewish players, they are
of paramount interest to Jewish
sports fans. For as it has been
demonstrated time and time again,
when racial attacks are made on
Negroes, the danger of anti-Semi
tic incidents increases.
Fans will recall the incident a
number of years ago when Sid
Gordon was the target of anti-
Semitic remarks in St. Louis. Two
years before that St. Louis players
had also hurled insults at Jackie
Robinson. Bigotry is a common
enemy of all who seek democracy
in sports.
The latest Incidents Involve
pitcher Burdette of the Milwaukee
Braves. He threw two pitches
that were unmistakably bean balls
at Campanella. They came so close
that Campanella had to dive for
safety. Even though they seemed
Intentional to reporters, it still
might not have been possible to
put an anti-Negro tag on Burdet
te’s actions. But he left little to
the imagination when he later
hurled a racial insult at Cam
panella when the catcher looked
scornfully at him.
But this isn’t all. A few games
previous to the one in Milwaukee,
the same Burdette was pitching
when Jackie Robinson rapped a
hit that won the game for Brook
lyn. Furious, Burdette directed a
racial remark against Robinson.
It is interesting to notf that
Burdette is on the same team as
Sid Gordon. How comfortable can
Gordon feel knowing that this
type of thinking exists among his
teammates?
So far, no action has been taken
against Burdette, and the question
remains ns to what league offi
cials will do about the situation. . .

Israeli Tour
JERUSALEM — Ten leaders of
the Jewish War Veterans of the
United States of America were
granted an hour-long interview
with Prime Minister David Ben-
Gurion during their current tour
of Israel, the first such tour to be
sponsored by the J. W. V.
The ten veterans, three of them
accompanied by their wives, also
met with President Yitzhak Ben
Zvi, Chief Rabbi Herzog and
Mayor Kariv of Jerusalem dur
ing the first days of their stay in
Israel. They also conferred with
top-ranking Officers of the Israeli
Army and Navy and with leading
government officials, according to
Rear Admiral Solomon S. Isquith
(Ret.), leader of the group.
The J. W. V. group has seen
Israel from the traditional “Dan
to Beersheba,” by touring the
country in one of the newly built
luxury buses, recently acquired
by the Tourist Department of the
Israel Government. After a stay
in Jerusalem, the group visited the
Metropolis of Tel Aviv, Nazareth,
Tiberias on the Sea of Galilee, the
Walled Crusader Town of Acre
and the Pioneer Frontierland of
the Negev.
The J. W. V. tour included
Israel’s modern cities and an
cient sites, stressing the physical
beauty of its biblical countryside.
Its other aspects concerned the
areas where the J. W. V. was ac
tively seeking to aid the pioneer
state. The group also visited im
migrant settlements, army camps
and hospitals.
Admiral Isquith pointed out
that since the birth of Israel in
1948, the Jewish War Veterans of
the USA, has contributed hund
reds of thousands of quarts of
milk for Immigrant children and
donated more than $200,000 in
equipment and building funds for
the Veterans Hospital at the Tel
Hashomer Army Camp. The J. W.
V. is now conducting a campaign
for an additional $35,000 for a
Research Center to be attached to
the hospital.
In the group was E. Milton
Altfeld of Baltimore, also a high
ranking Jewish officer in the U.S.
Navy and former state senator in
his Maryland. U. S. Rear Admiral
Isquith, retired in 1947 after 28
years’ active service. Former chief
engineer of the U.S.S. Utah, he
was senior surviving officer of the
battleship after Pearl Harbor and
was awarded the Navy Cross for
his “extraordinary courage and
disregard of his own safety while
eirecting the rescue of more than
ninety per cent of the ship’s com
plement. After commanding the
battlewagon during two years of
work to reactivate it, he took
command of the Attack Transport
U.S.S. Noble in the famed Okin
awa campaign.
