morists makes the penetrating
observation that while Negroes,
in many respects, live in an en
vironment that is not only
“separate but unequal,” Jews are
by now accustomed to that which
is "separate but better.”
If this is so, it is all the more
ironical to note that while di
vision and disagreement present
ly tear at the hard-pressed lead
ership of the various Negro
communities of America, this
happens to be the time that those
Jewish agencies charged with re
sponsibility for conducting civil
rights programs have just writ
ten a new chapter of renewed
unity. We refer to the quiet but
significant re-affiliation of the
American Jewish Committee
with the National Community
Relations Advisory Council.
About a year ago, B’nai B’rith
(embracing the Anti-Defamation
League) came back into the
NCRAC; and at the late June
plenary sessions of the overall
coordinating body in Washington,
the Committee was welcomed
home with appropriate ceremony.
It may be idle now to go back
over the history of the Evalu
ative Study of the field of Jew
ish community relations insti
tuted by the NCRAC in 1950. The
technical director of that signifi
cant study was the famed philo
sopher-sociologist, Dr. Robert M.
Maclver of Columbia University.
When the history of this era of
Jewish life is written his name
and his efforts are certain to be
recorded. But certain of Profes
sor Maclver’s recommendations
for the operation of the NCRAC,
founded when a maturing Jewish
community saw itself tested in
the fires of war and the machin
ations of Hitler and Father
Charles E. Coughlin—proved un
acceptable to B’nai B’rith and the
American Jewish Committee.
Those two agencies left the
NCRAC fold in 1952.
Now they are back; and the
Jewish community of America is
the better for that re-entry.
Re-entry into what?
Well, a return to participation
in a process providing a search
for the very best, the most ef
fective ways of underwriting
Jewish security in America,
helping to maintain that protec
tion, and going on to channel the
considerable forces for Jewish
communal good into the broader
stream of strength for the wel
fare of the nation as a whole.
The NCRAC now assembles the
community relations mechan
isms of nine national bodies and
79 local units for annual reap
praisals of the tasks at hand, for
conference and decisions regard
ing strategy, and for the pro
vision of directions as to the
carrying out of the general de
cisions reached. Voluntarism is
the touchstone; “advisory” is the
most sensitive word in the rubric,
“National Community Relation*
Advisory Council”; constant re
thinking and re-examination are
the guarantees of incisive con
clusions and wisdom-warmed ac
tion.
The Joint Program Plan, long
in incubation, is the rewarding
blueprint emerging from the
NCRAC process. This compendi
um provides a helpful review of
the civil rights and civil liber
ties developments of the year
and then goes on to offer distinct
guidelines and specific, carefully-
structured proposals for the field.
Perhaps few people in the coun
try read it, study it, and act
upon it; but those who do can
not fail to profit by such a pro
cess.
And if you want to make a
helpful suggestion to your friends
and associates in the non-Jewish
community who have an abiding
interest in the struggle for

equality of opportunity and
achievement you are well-advia-
ed to urge them to adapt thia
manual for their good purposes.
In October, the NCRAC plana
an important conference on
church-state issues. Between now
and that time, the body will be
putting the final polish on its
Joint Program Plan and provid
ing service to the entire Ameri
can Jewish community. Mean
while, the people of conscience in
each city will be rejoicing again
over the the healing of the
bruised sections of the NCRAC
and rejoicing also to note that
there was only one man-sized
family squabble at the recent
Plenum, a sharp difference of
opinion about the right to dissent
(of all things!).
