There is, first, the extremism of the younger Negro militants, now come to power, with an extravagant verbal thrust tow ards Black Nationalism, the Black Panther political move ment, and Black separatism. The most eloquent spokesman of this tug for colored parochialism is Stokely Carmichael, 24,,top man of the Student Nonviolent Co ordinating Committee. For him, integration has become irrele- Obituaries Harry Beerman Harry Beerman, 84, of Atlanta died Thursday, July 21. Funeral services were held July 22. Rabbi Raphael Gold officiated. Interment was in Greenwood Cemetery. Mr. Beerman, who retired in 1945 as owner of the H. Beerman Grocery, was a resident of the Jewish Home for the Aged. Bom in Russia he had lived in Atlanta since 1912 and was a member of the Ahavath Achim Synagogue and B’nai B’rith. Survivors include three sons Atlanta Police Supt. Fred Beer- man, Morris Beerman, Buffalo, N.Y., and Maj. Mathias Beerman, Orlando, Fla.; and a brother Herman Beerman, Atlanta. Aaron Hoffman Aaron Hoffman, 79, of Atlanta died Tuesday, June 28. Funeral services were held June 29 with Rabbi Harry Ep stein and Cantor Isaac Good- friend officiating. Interment was in Greenwood Cemetery. Mr. Hoffman operated Hoff man’s Kosher Market on Ponce de Leon Avenue until his retire ment five years ago. He was a native of Poland and a member of Ahavath Achim Synagogue. Survivors include his wife, the former Sarah Grauman; three daughters, Mrs. Sam Rosen- bloum, Mrs. A. B. Levin and Miss Celia Hoffman, all of Atlanta, and a son, Arnold Hoffman of Jacksonville. Rev. Meir Tabaksman The Rev. Meir Tabaksman, 70, for many decades the schochet for the synagogues of Atlanta, died Thursday, July 21. Funeral services were held July 22. Rabbi Raphael Gold and Cantor Robert Ungar officiated. Interment was in Greenwood Cemetery. A native of Latvia, Mr. Tabaks man was a member of Ahavath Achim and Shearith Israel Syna gogues and Fulton Lodge 216, F&AM. Survivors include his wife, the former Cipa Breen; a daughter, Mrs. Morris Glazer, Atlanta, and two brothers, Eric and Solomon Tabaksman, both of Riga, Latvia, and four grandchildren. vant: “We have been marching too long; we have been beaten too long; we have been jailed too long.” And again: “To ask Negroes to join the Democratic Party is like asking Jews to join the Nazi Party.” Young Car michael’s counterparts are the small advance guard of every city’s Negro battering ram. The extreme nature of their marches and other demonstrations, their extreme demands provide hourly ammunition for white separatists in urban areas. But there is also the extremism of the unyielding whites. The most spectacular at the moment is the case of Aubrey J. Norvell, the 40-year-old, unemployed man, accused of shooting James Meredith whose quixotic Missis sippi March brought forth new martrydom thanks to Norvell’s gunfire. The assault on Meredith is primitive extremism. It seems far removed from the extremism of Alabama authorities who have gone to court to test the cut-off of United States funds because of failure to integrate; far re moved from the stubborn stand of hospital boards and doctors who are determined to admini ster medicare in a segregated setting. This more polite and more cul tured form of extremism is il lustrated again in the nature of the testimony given by spokes men for the National Association of Real Estate Boards against Title IV of the projected 1966 Civil Rights Law. (Title IV would ban discrimination in the sale of rental of housing every where.) In testifying against Title IV, one spokesman for the National Association of Real Es tate Boards, Alan L. Emlen of Philadelphia, asserted that if the proposal became law, the federal government would be “regulating thoughts.’’ This is absurd, of course. And for Emlen to assert further that real estate agents do Hadassali to Open In Boston Aug. 14 NEW YORK (WUP) — The 52nd National Convention of Ha dassah will open on Sunday, Au gust 14, Mrs. Nathan D. Pearl- man, national convention chair man, announced. More than 2,000 delegates are planning to attend the convention to be held at the Sheraton Bos ton Hotel. Mrs. Mortimer Jacob son, who heads the 318,000-mem ber women's Zionist organization, will deliver her presidential ad dress at the opening session the afternoon of August 14. The overall theme of the 52nd annual convention is Horizons Unlimited.” The first plenary session Sun day evening will be devoted to a discussion of the subject, “Worlds of Diversity,” and will feature addresses by Senator Ja cob K. Javits and Israeli Am bassador Avraham Harman. Senator Edw-ard M. Kennedy will evaluate “The Great Society” when he addresses the conven tion Monday afternoon, August 15. not maintain the color bar in housing but carry out the wishes of the seller is to take refuge be hind the thin barricade of half- truth and to default on responsi bility in a society facing a pro found racial crisis. The New York Times is one of the few news papers possessing the courage to expose such hypocrisy; “It is time that real estate brokers realized that their traditional role as the agents of respectable racism is anachronistic and mor ally disreputable.” It might have been predicted that Title IV would prove the chief target of those who want to see the 1966 Civil Rights Law defeated. California’s bitter fight over Proposition 14 and the de termination of real estate forces and their allies there to carry to the Supreme Court their cam paign to overthrow the state fair housing measure foretold the na ture of the battle ip Congress. Nor can a realist hold much hope for the passage of Title IV. In state after state, efforts to pro tect renters and home buyers against discriminatory actions of property holders have consistent ly drawn the hottest fire. But even if Title IV is de feated, there is a strong likeli hood that other sections of the 1966 proposal in Washington will triumph. Title I under which racial discrimination in the selec tion of both state and federal juries would be banned has a good chance for passage. So do Titles III and V, the former making it a federal crime to threaten or harm persons en gaged in activities protected by federal laws regardless of wheth er state action is involved, and the latter making it a federal of fense to threaten or injure a per son exercising his constitutional rights.
