NCRAC Clarifies Jewish Stand on School Desegregation NEW YORK (JTA)—The issue of busing children to schools scheduled for racial integration, and the cry for preservation of “neighborhood schoo Is,’’ are “spurious issues,’’ the National Community Relations Advisory Council declared here recently. In a statement representing the views of six major national Jewish organizations and 74 local Jewish community coun cils, the NCRAC called for “high priority” to the elimination of "do facto racial segregation from our public schools” saying this must be done “as a matter of public policy and educational purpose.” “Racial integration in public schools,” the NCRAC de clared, “is an essential compon ent of good education in our so ciety. It is not a substitute for quality. Neither is it an alterna tive to quality. Racial integra tion and quality education are mutually complementary and in- terdependent.” Criticizing “diversionary argu ments over spurious issues,” the statement held that neither the argument about neighborhood schools nor the procedure of busing has “supreme value.” “School districts are not neigh borhoods.” the NCRAC declared. “Busing is not a policy. Of itself, it has no educational value, positive or negative. According positive or negative. According ly, we neither favor nor oppose busing per se.” teen candidates elected last week to the United States House of Representatives are of the Jew ish faith, representing a consid erable increase in the number of Jews in Congress.

Adolf did not keep his work a secret from me. He told me of the gas chambers and the incinerators. And he told me how he saw the very ground spurt with the blood of his vic tims as the great pits of machine- gunned bodies were covered over the earth.
