CORE Group Says
‘It Can Happen Here*
NEW YORK (JTA) — A chap
ter of the Congress pf Racial
Equality, several of whose mem
bers are under a city investiga
tion on charges of anti-Semitic
behavior, issued a manifesto here
comparing Negroes in the United
States with the Jews in Nazi
Germany, asserting “as it hap
pened to them, it can happen to
us.”
The Brooklyn chapter of CORE
made the comparison to explain
why it planned to leave the
ghetto to “establish a new
world.” The document declared
that “the German plan was to
exterminate the Jewish culture
and the Jews. Whitey’s plan is
the same” for the Negro. “We
Black Militants note the similar
ity” between Negroes in the
United States “and the Jews in
Germany. We pray that the hand
of death will pass us by. As it
happened to them, it can happen
to us.”
In recent months, members of
the CORE chapter had been act
ive in a struggle for better
schools for children in slum
areas. That struggle brought a
charge from the Anti-Defamation
League of B’nai B’rith that CORE
members in Brooklyn and
Queens had been guilty of “blat
ant and vicious anti-Semitic out
bursts and racist behavior in four
school-community controversies
in largely Negro sections in the
two boroughs.
At the ADL’s request, the City
Commission on Human Relations
ordered on August 7 that two
commission members investigate
the charges of anti-Semitism.
Court Rejects Ban
On Christmas Stamp
WASHINGTON (JTA) — Fed
eral District Judge Alexander
Holtzoff has ruled that the Post
Office Department’s annual
Christmas stamp does not violate
constitutional guarantees of the
separation of church and state.
He denied a request by Protes
tants and Other Americans Unit
ed for the Separation of Church
and State for an injunction to
prevent issuance of the Christ
mas stamp this year. He said that,
while the Constitution provided
for “a separation of church and
state,” it did not require a sepa
ration of religion and state.
The Protestant group said that
the stamp, a reproduction of
Hans Memling’s “Madonna and
Child,” was “a religious symbol
commonly associated with the
Roman Catholic Church.”
Violinist Stern
Won’t Visit USSR
JERUSALEM (JTA) — Isaac
Stem, world-famed violinist, has
cancelled concert appearances in
the Soviet Union, Czechoslovakia
and Hungary in protest against
the anti-Israel policies adopted
by the governments of those
countries.
Mr. Stern, in Bucharest to per
form with the Bucharest Phil
harmonic Orchestra, telegraph
ically notified the governments of
the three countries that as “a
few end a Zionist,” he could not
visit those countries and give
concerts there after they had
ordered the Israeli envoys to
leave. Mr. Stem is the president
of the America-Israel Cultural
Foundation in New York and,
with his wife, is active in many
Israeli causes.

that the 5-story building would
have 80 single beds and 15 dou
bles for occupants as well as
adequate facilities fcr staff, med
ical and dental treatment, recre
ation and particularly for meals
—and many other advantages.
The board, it is understood, has
rejected requesting federal funds
since this would almost automat
ically eliminate such Jewish as
pects as Kosher kitchen facilities
and a synagogue.
West Bank Houses
Blasted by Army
After Sabotage
TEL AVIV (JTA) Four
houses in the west bank village
of Yertach were blown up after
Israeli authorities traced to them
the footprints of the saboteurs
who mined a Lydda-Haiffa
freight train, just south of the
neighboring town of Tulkarem.
At the same time, nine suspected
persons were detained.
Three cars were derailed when
the train hit the mine, but no
one was injured in the blast nor
was rail traffic interrupted, an
army spokesman reported at the
time. He said another mine was
found near the scene of the ex
plosion and immediately dis
mantled.
After the incident, the army
imposed a curfew on a number
of villages in the area and
launched a search for the perpe
trators. Footprints of three men
were found at the site of the ex
plosion and traced to the four
houses in Yertach.
Village leaders said that they
would complain to the Interna
tional Red Cross about the Israeli
action and would demand in
demnification from Israel for the
destruction of the houses. They
said that they were certain that
the saboteurs did not come from
Yertach, claiming that the dogs
which had trailed them there
“just mistaken.”

its kind ever published, has been
edited by the renowned Rabbi

Published by Droke Press and
distributed by Grosset and Dun
lap, the new volume—containing
973 statements by contemporary
Jewish clergymen of this coun
try — is the latest of a series,
whose predecessors were “The
Quotable Billy Graham,” “The
Quotable Fulton Sheen,” and
“The Quotable Norman Vincent
Peale.”
The book jacket of the volume
contains praise from three noted

tive and Reform Judaism, Rabbis

ecai Kaplan, and Philip S. Bern
stein.

ions of the book is that of Rab

Marin Ryback charges that “our
American civilization is suffering
materiosclerosia.” '• iK, ish publication* throughout the
