production* like the “Diary qt
Anne Frink,” “but pl&n, old
ludator
tlqgfeal
aye haa caused frustft&ions re
sulting in .the current wave of
desecrations, sex crimes and
other juvenile crimes.
Writing in “American Juda
ism," national publication of the
Union of American Hebrew
Congregations, Dr. George N.
Shuster, president of Hunter
College, declared in his article,
“Of Symbols and Sadism," that
"Wherever modern technological
civilization is in the making,”
they produce, “frustrations
which are probably not the
same In any two countries."
“We da not know nearly
enough anout these things as
they affect our country,” point
ed out Dr. Shuster. “But one
may isolate zest in the use of
force to the point of cruelty or
even sadism, which now runs
lfke a virtu through some seg
ments of society. This zest cur
rently manifests itself most
glaringly in the area of sex
aberration and crime."
Normal children here and in
Germany do not do the things
we have been talking about,”
said Dr. Shuster. “But the tempo
of technological change has been
very rapid in both countries,
and resulting frustrations and
aberrations are manifest in
both.”
Dr. Shuster gave three reasons
for the current anti-Jewish dese
crations: the first he attributed
to pranks and the lack of knowl
edge on the part of Germans of
the evils of Nazism; secondly,
acts caused by racial tensions,
here the educator pointed out
both Catholics and Jews are
usually the targets; to the third
group, emphasized Dr. Shuster,
“we must give rise to grave
concern. These are manifesta
tions used by youth groups as
a formula of gang organization
and violence.”
“What could be more natural,
therefore," asked Eh-. Shuster,
“than that young people who
want to use power for ends
which the society about them
considers reprehensible should
turn to the Nazi model, even
though, as a matter of fact,
their actual knowledge of that
model is probably slight?”
Dr. Shuster expressed the be
lief that education could correct
many of these evils, declaring
that , “it is much too simple to
suggest that a cure can be found
by teaching the evils of Nazism.”
The president of Hunter Col
lege agreed that some good has
come out of instruction and
fashioned, hammering away on
the evils of Nazism may well
do little more than give the
German ‘be^tnick’ generation a
free course on how to be sadis
tic.”
Dr. Shuster stated that as far
as America was concerned, we
must "get over the assumption
that a course in civics jvill in
culcate respect for such moral
virtues as forbearance, under
standing and affection. We have
assumed that there is a sort of
quantum theory of ethical con
duct which the social scientists
have mastered. They have not,
and they know it.”
The editor of the magazine,
Paul Kresh, announced that this
issue will mark the first time
that “American Judaism” has
broadened its circulation and
will be sold to the pubic. La many
leading bookstores throughout
the country.
Also included in the issue
were “The Jewish Writer in
America,” by Pulitzer Prize win
ner, Karl Shapiro; “The Way

Rukeyser; “A Decalogue of De-

Canadian Mayor Seeks to Change
Voting Law for Orthodox Jew$
OUTREMONT, Que., Canada,
(JTA)—An effort to change the
election law of the Province of
Quebec, so that elections need
not be scheduled on days when
some' citizens cannot vote be
cause of religious holidays, will
be made by the Outremont City
Council acting on a request from
Jewish organizations here, the
Maror announced here this past
week.
Last spring, municipal elec
tions in some wards in this city
were held on the last day of
Passover. According to Mayor
Romauld Bourque, “we were all
extremely disappointed that the
elections this year happened to
take place on a Jewish holiday.”
The provincial election law for
bade a change in the date when
the conflict with Passover had
been pointed out by local Jew
ish organizations.
Mayor Borgue said “If it is
T ihle. we will see
no recurrence of
incident” Meanwhile, the
Council has passed a reso-
petitioning the Provincial
ature to amend the elec-
the Council
date. “We

Detroit Suburb
To Close Schools
For Holy Days
OAK PARK, Mich., (JTA) —
The public schools of this De
troit suburb will be closed next
fall during the three Jewish
High Holy Days.
The issue had been discussed
for years by the Oak Park
Board of Education before the
decision was made. Clifton A.
Eldridge, assistant superintendent
of schools, said that the schools
were not being closed for the
holiday but because of it He
explained that it was educa
tionally and administratively
“unsound” to keep the schools
open when a large percentage
of pupils and teachers were ab
sent for the holiday*.
The decision to close was
spurred by the fact that under
Michigan law, 60 percent attend
ance is required before a school
day can be counted as “ift ses
sion.” Attendance on the Jpgh
Holy Days falls below that mark.
Mr. Edridge also noted at one
school, there were no teachers
attending during the Hcfly Days.
Friends and relatives are in
vited to attend the unveiling
ceremonies in memory of Gus
Silverman, Sunday,' July 8, at
3 p.m., at Greenwood Cemetery.
Rabbi Harry H. Epstein will
officiate.
