LABIES’ tad MEN’S NATS
As We Were Saying
By Robert E. Segal
(/V Seven Arts Feature)
Now that both the National
Community Relations Advisory
Council and the National Associ
ation lor the Advancement of
Colored People have conducted
their annual get-gether, guide
lines for two of America’s most
prominent minority groups are
more sharply drawn.
These two bodies, bringing to
gether the civil rights strategy
designers for thousands of Jews
and thousands of Negroes, have
labored most actively these past
20 years or so to get civil rights
legislation enacted, to open up
educational, job and housing op
portunities on a non-riiserimina-
tory basis, and to bolster the
value of America's pattern of
cultural pluralism.
For the NAACP, the pressures
are stronger perhaps. Youth and
the other new militants want ac
tion now. It is significant that
at the NAACP convention, Phil
adelphia’s Cecil Moore made an
impassioned speech, advising the
organization to ignore civil rights
organizations if necessary and to
concentrate on mobilizing power
>n the Negro community.
It is significant also that the
extremely able Tom Kahn, 28,
director of the League For In
dustrial Democracy, in his pro
foundly moving address before
the NCRAC, reminded the elders
(hat the students in the campus
civil rights movement today have
“an almost mystical devotion to
activism and a distrust of theory
and analysis which borders on
outright anti-intellectualism ”
Jewish leaders from many sec
tions of the country, listening to
Tom Kahn, found what was to
some of them a new explanation
for the heavily disproportionate
degree of participation in the
Negro revolution by young Jews.
It was pointed out that some
where between 40 and 50% of all
the non-Negroes in the current
LETTER

protest movement are Jews.
These activists are, by and large,
from middle class homes. They
are in revolt against middle class
standards. It is easy to explain
this revolt. Professor Lou H. Sil-
berinan of Vanderbilt University
stated it thus: ‘‘The middle class
establishment is the enemy. The
Jewish community is an integral
part of this establishment in the
minds of these students.”
Professor Silberman then ad
vised that every effort be made
to understand Jewish youth in
revolt. He warned against the
danger of driving boys and girls
away by ‘‘clumsy insensitivity”:
and he proposed that they will be
challenged with “the depth and
truth of our own commitment to
the radical faith of Judaism to
which their angry passion recalls
us.”
One cannot be at all sure that
Jewish young people, eagerly
participating in the Negro revolt,
can be held within the circle of
Judaism. The opportunities open
ed to them by middle class pros
perity and by the loving care of
their solicitous parents bring to
them at once the temptation to
drift along on the escalator and
the challenge to help the dis
advantaged. These are fortunate
Jewish young people. Three in
every four of them now of col
lege age (18 to 24 years) are in
college. Professional and econom
ic opportunities stretch before
them in a long array.
Those among our college youth
impelled to help In the revolt
against discrimination and in the
arduous program of eliminating
poverty are lucky indeed. They
are in position to answer the
dare posed by the now widely-
quoted article on “The New
American Jew” in ‘Time” (June
25). That article pointed to a pa-
rodoxical desert in American
Jewish life: the Jews of this
country find that the problem Is
that there is no problem. Or as
Harry Golden says his mother
used to say: “When things are
too good, that’s bad.”
Perhaps the heavy participa
tion of Jewish young people in
the civil rights revolution will
prove a factor of moral and civic
rescue for the entire Jewish com
munity of America. Perhaps that
dedication is needed more than
we realize to remind us of out
unfinished business.
And that brings us back to the
guidelines emanating from the
NCRAC sessions: a new vigilance
over the further blurring of
state-church separation as imple
mentation of economic opportun
ities legislation and federal aid-
to-education legislation unfolds;
a vigorous appeal to Washington
to curb aggressors and keep the
peace in the Middle East; an
early revision of the federal im
migration and naturalization law;
an honorable participation in
state-by-state efforts to achieve
proper legislative reapportion
ment; a stepped-up effort to end
Soviet anti-Semitism; new dedi
cation to programs designed to
bring U. S. ratification of the
Genocide Pact; full participation
in appropriate programs to curb
