THE SOUTHERN ISRAELITE
Friday, October 28, 1966
As We Were Saying
by ROBERT SEGAL
(A Seven Arts Feature)
Barry Goldwater, who has
learned the hard way to talk
sense rather often, is out sound
ing the alarm against the John
Birch Society these days. (“I tell
you, the worst job of politics is
done in districts run by the
Birch people.”) )
But it should be noted also that
the politically-astute Republican
candidate for President has pre
dicted that the 1968 Republican
convention will be under con
servative control.
The objective of this column
is not to carp about honorable
conservatives, understand ably
alarmed about federal spending,
intensive centralization of gov
ernment, economic storm-warn
ings, etc. Nor would we attempt
to tell any political party how to
run its show. Rather, the purpose
is to observe well in advance of
the 1968 fight for the Presidency
that political extremism (a far
more serious matter than con
servatism) is plaguing both the
Republican and Democ r a t i c
parties and, to a degree, threat
ening hard-won civil rights and
civil liberties gains.
Riots, heartache over the bleak
outlook in Vietnam and the clear
evidence that the movement to
end housing discrimination in our
large northern communities has
become a major political issue are
Film Honors Brandeis
NEW YORK (JTA)— A color
filmstrip, ‘‘Louis D. Brandeis:
Giant of Justice and Champion
of Zion,” has been prepared by
the Jewish Agency for Israel,
American Section, in connection
with the 25th anniversary of the
death of the late Supreme Court
justice, Mrs. Rose L. Halprin,
chairman of the section and head
of the department of education
and culture, has announced. The

a few of the many dramatic fac
tors stirring in the election pot-
Given these ey current issues,
let us note why concerned citi
zens need to study extremism
more carefully as the 1968 elec
tion battle nears.
The victory of Lester Maddox
in the Georgia Democratic gub
ernatorial primary can be taken
as a starting point. That Georgia
would give a political opportun
ity to this segregationist nonenity
is far more alarming than the
success of George Lincoln Rock
well in bouncing back into the
spotlight through participation in
the Chicago disturbances. The
nomination of another political
opportunist, George P. Mahoney,
for governer of Maryland is
nearly as depressing as the sup
port for Maddox. These disas
trous developments naturally
give impetus to the third party
movement already undertaken by
Alabama’s George C. Wallace.
And if a shrewd and tough
campaigner like Wallace doesn’t
catch fire, the disgruntled on the
right will have other choices.
The ‘‘’976 Committee,” powered
by William J. Grede, Milwaukee
industrialist and key Birchman,
is making noises in the direction
of an Ezra Taft Benson-Strom
presidential ticket. But why wait
until 1976? Mr. Grede and his
wealthy backers are already dis
tributing such irresponsible books
as McCarthys “Americas Retreat
From Victory” and Stormer’s
“None Dare Call It Treason.’”
Formation of the “1972 Com
mittee” was inevitable. Behind it
on the steps of history, one can
see the old Liberty League and
the star-spangled American clubs
stitched into our political history.
And tagging along with Mr.
Grede’s coalition are such right-
wing units as Constructive Action,
Inc., Martha Rountrees Leader
ship Foundation, and a collection
of lesser bodies. For those who
must have red raw meat on their
political diet, there is the Patri
otic Party, dreamed up by Rob
Com Fjdkt Topping
| Curried Cauliflower—Budget Dish
Prosaic cauliflower can be an exdtinf company vegetable.
When having a celebration dinner built around baked ham or
chicken, prepare a casserole of cauliflowereta sauced with a
tomato curry mixture. Before baking, sprinkle butter and curry
seasoned com flakes around edge of the dish. Cereals such as
com flakes are excellent for ingredient use in recipes because
they are inexpensive, convenient, add flavor and texture. The
curry powder and crisp cereal step up the somewhat bland flavor
of this plentiful fall vegetable.
Curried Cauliflower, Cora Flake Topping
6 cups raw cauliflowereta,
about l'/i pounds
Boiling water
teaspoon salt
cup chopped onion
tablespoons butter or
margarine
1 tablespoon flour
1 can (8 ounce) tomato
sauce
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1V4 teaspoons curry powder,
or to taste
1V£ cups com flakes, crushed
slightly
Cook cauliflower pieces until almost tender (about 8 minutes)
in a small amount of boiling salted water. Drain. Spread in a
■hallow 1 Vi quart baking dish. Saute onion until soft, in 2 table
spoons of butter or margarine. Blend in flour. Add tomato sauce,
lemon juice, and 1 teaspoon curry powder; cook until thickened.
Poor over cauliflower. Melt remaining 1 tablespoon butter or
margarine. Stir in com flakes and remaining Vt teaspoon curry
powder. Sprinkle around edges of casserole. Heat in a moderate
Oreo (376'F.) 12 to 16 minutes. Yield: 6 servings.

When you leaf through the
scrapbook on 1966 extremism,
you also note several other in
dices of unrest. In California,
this takes the form of CLEAN
(California League Enlisting Ac
tion Now), a club organized os
tensibly to get smut off the news
stands but more likely to get em
broiled in political contests in a
direction not hard to predict. In
New Jersey, some of the Young
Republicans went on a political
bender not long ago and embar
rassed the healthy-minded mem
bers of the party by spinning off
as a group of Rat Finks who

ORT School Head
Dies in Paris
PARIS (JTA)—Jacques Bram-

ORT school in Paris, the largest

istrator for 26 years.
In 1958, the French Govern
ment presented him with the

Soviet Missile Sites
Reported Near Israel
LONDON (JTA)—Soviet tech
nicians have begun work on
setting up near Damascus,
launching sites for anti-aircraft
guided missiles, it was reported
in the Sunday Telegraph in a
dispatch from Beirut. The report

sites are planned for installation
in Syria near the Israeli border.

M. Warburg, a top leader in the
United Jewish Appeal and Joint

TV Studies on Judaism
CLEVELAND (JTA)—Western
Reserve University is sponsoring
a course on Judaism by televis
ion. The course is taught by a
rabbi who is a faculty member
of the university. “Introduction

to 8:30 a. m., Mondays, Wednes
days and Fridays. The instruc

Professor of Jewish Studies at

Goldwater; and with him it will

his small regard for John Birch

than 300 Congressional districts.
But this doesn’t mean he has dis
