IL Will be pad news IN Berlin and
Toxic! We've just had letter from
him (marked Super r-duper Special
on the envelope) which brings us up
to date on what he has been doing
in the past few months.
When the age limit was lowered
last spring, he enlisted in the Army
Air Corps as a flying cadet-the
first boy in his State to do so. He
was vastly upset when he was sent
to mountaineering school without
ever being given a chance at be-
coming a pilot, because up until
that time bombardiers had usually
been boys who couldn't quite make
the grade as pilots.
However, he soon discovered that
bombardiers are now being picked
because of their special ability for
that job, and that their work is
exceedingly important. When a
bombing plane nears its objective,
the bombardier gives the orders and
the pilot is merely his chauffeur
All this was pretty impressive, so
our young friend decided he'd be-
come the "best darned bid in the
ARMY"
He started to study. giving up his
free time to concentrate on the con-
struction of the intricate bombsight,
complicated calculations on wind
velocity, etc. Soon he learned that
the fooling around he had done with
mechanical gadgets when he should
have been learning to spell, was now
all to the good. He began to get the
highest marks in the class, week
after week, finally being the only
one of 80 student bombardiers with
an average above 80 per cent.
All this was fine stuff. But sud-
denly he was afraid that he might
be good on theory, but unable to
hit target in actual practice, so
that they'd keep him in camp as an
instructor, instead of sending him
off to fight. However, when they
started actual bombing practice, he
discovered that he was close to tops
at that, too.
when you see the flash and watch
the boards of the target shack fly
up, 10000 feet below you" he writes,
'it's just about the biggest thrill in
the world. Then the phone in the
plane rings and the instructor tells
you Good work, old boy and you
just about die of excitement"
Our young bombardier piled up
a fine record-he got only one
demerit in the three camps at which
he was stationed. So he received
reward that his classmates would
have given their eye teeth to get
a whole Saturday night off. He
didn't know what to do with it, so he
finally went downtown and "had
himself double chocolate banana
split"
All of which leads us to remark
that the faith that this boys par
ents showed in him is certainly
being justified Instead of being a.
poor neWspaperman, hes becoming
an ace bombardier.
OF course, he still can't spell. In
commenting on the excellence of
the food he's getting, he said he
couldn't imagine how it could be
any better unless they were served
"cavier." But somehow, we don't
think his confusion about voWels
and conSonants will matter much
when he's training that bombsight
on Toxic or Berlin.

Make En- Last

Make your household fabrics last
as long as possible. Here are some
hints on care, issued by Uncle Sam
l. Buy washable curtain and Slip
cover material whenever possible.
3 Dirt is the enemy of fabric life
Wash or clean your curtains before
they get too dirty.
3. LukeWarm water and neutral
soap are safer than hot water and
strong soap. Bleaches and lye are
hard on fabrics and should not be
used.
4. A warm iron is better for most
fabrics, especially sheer curtains.

Cake Cutting

To cut cake so that the edges will
be smooth, dip the knife blade in a
bowl of warm water just before cut
ting each slice. This is especially
effective if the cake is very fresh and
the frosting soft. Work quickly so
that the moisture will not get into
the cake.

none of these characteristics is. of
itself, prejudicial to your own
right to your own peculiar char
acteristics. My right to have
swarthy complexion and crave
gefilte fish does not conflict with
your right to have fair skin and
relish pork and beans. Each of
us has the right to be his own un-
changeable, uncorrectable self.
Each of us has the right-but
only as long as he is willing to
fight for it and maintain it a.
gainst every challenge. Like 9TH
er human rights, that right is on
the defensive today. 1t is neces-
sary to redefine and reassert it.
Many meanings have recently
been read into the famed Atlantic
Charter. Perhaps it would not be-
too much like wish-thinking to
read into one of those Four Free
doms, Freedom from Fear, the
right to be free from the fear OF
being prosecuted or done to death
for the crime of being what one
is-what he couldn't help being
even if he wanted to.
For us Jews, freedom from fear
means, more than anything else
today, freedom from the fear of
being bounded and Inundated and,
as in most of Europe today, done
to death sooner or later, by one
or another form of pogrom. Here
in America it means freedom from
the fear of inflamatory propagan-
da by rabid anti-Semites, freedom
from discrimination in employ
ment, freedom from the insulting
effects of racial prejudice publicly
displayed, as in newspaper adver-
Using and on renting signs, free

Jews AS Human Beings
We have a right to that free
dom, not because we are Jews and
have the right to be Jews, but be-
cause we are human beings and
have the right to be human be-
ings. Since being a Jew is not a
matter of choice, since it is Meth
er vice nor a virtue, it is a cause
for neither pride nor shame. 1t
is simply a condition of being-a
name that is applied to one of the

that very often the victim is no
more-yes, even less disposed to
expose his pain and injury to the
ewes of others than the race-hater
is to be exposed for his race
hatred. Like other social diseases,
race-hatred is a secret disease. 1t
takes it's toll clandestinely, under
cover. in the dark. And those who
suffer from it try just as hard to
conceal it as those who inflict it.
It's most virulent forms are the
forms that never come out in the
open at all. The perpetrators
never advertise it and the victims
desire to conceal it, preferring to
suffer in silence rather than ex-
hibit their injuries before others.
What, the question is asked, would
law avail against such forms Of
race hatred?
A partial answer to that Objec-
ton may be found in our expert
ence with another social disease:
syphilis. One does not have to be
very old to remember when the
very word was taboo in public
print, and even in polite converse

We Jews have many score to
settle with Hitler, but there is one
thing we will have to admit. We
are the only people to whom he
has kept all his promises. How
ever inconsistent his policies and
his acts may have been in domes-
tic politics and in international
dealings, his acts, where we Jews
are concerned, have been consist
ent with his policies from the
first. From the first he denied us
the right to live, and ever since he
has been doing us to death, by the
hundreds of thousands, and by
every diabolical means he can be-
wise.
The right to be what one is
what one was born to be and can't
help being-is the right to life it.
self. When you deny people the
right to be themselves you deny
them the right to live. You have
condemned them to death.
To every man the right to be
what he is-white, black, blue

possibly abridge the rights or en-
danger the liberties of another by

right. One may choose ones re-
ligion or ones political creed. 1t
is simply a human right, like the
right to life, liberty and the pur-
suit of happiness. Why, then,
should it not be written into law,
as other human rights are?
Such a law need not attempt
anv erudite definitions of race or
color. The customarily accepted
meanings of these terms would
suffice. It need only prohibit
and penalize all propaganda ana
practices, whether perpetrated by
individuals, corporations or groups,
which are motivated by prejudice
and designed to abridge the rights
of any person or persons by reas-
on of their race or color, or by
reason of any characteristic, phys
ical or mental, allegedly due to
race or color. 1t should be a fed
eral law, equally binding on all
states, and enforced by the agen-
cies and courts of the federal gov
eminent.
It won't work. Neither has the
law against murder. Murders are
still committed But-and this is
the point-murder is not as popu-
lar today as it was in the days be-
fore it became punishable Of
Tense. And those who commit
murder are not likely to brag a
bout it. Or advocate it. Men
still kill, but if they do they must
reckon with the penalties it in
wolves. And not the least of these
penalties land deterants) is the
shame and the sense of guilt that
law and social condemnation inn
pose on the murderer. That is all
that any law can accomplish. It
is enough.
A law against racial discrimina-
ton, like any other law, would
give written expression to the So
rial conscience of the American
people. 1t would serve notice. on
all be-anti-Semites, negro
phobes and other assorted Keno
phobiacs, that if they try to
spread their mental diseases by
contagious agitation they will
have the arm of the law to reckon
with, and the equally potent force
of public condemnation. It would
stamp their prejudices as anti
social, even in their own private
thinking, and act, like other laws,
as a deterrent to action. And it
would make those whom it does
not deter, those who act on their
prejudices anyway, as conspicuous
as any hooligan who hurls brick
through a plate glass window on
Main Street. To that extent the
law would work" And that is
enough.
Go Into Court

Go Into Court

There are some who, although
they are not averse to such legis-
lation, point out that there are al
: ready provisions in the Constitu-
ton, in the federal, state and local
statutes, that indirectly afford a
remedy at law against injury and
damage sustained through acts of
racial prejudice. The answer to
that is: try going into court with
the complaint that you have been
denied employment because of
your race or color; try bringing an
action against speaker at a pub
lie meeting who has advocated
that 1--WE do with our Jews what
Hitler did with the Jews in Ger

libel against the hate-monger
whose written or spoken word a.

cited some bigoted buAness COM
petitors to gang up against you
and endanger your livelihood. Or
try going into court and filing a
complaint against the anti-Semitic
neighbor who has infected the
whole block with her hateful Cos
sip, till your life is made so miser-
able that you have no choice but
to stick it out and suffer, or to ac-
cept the humiliation of moving
out of the neighborhood. You
have been injured. You have suf-
fered damage, in mind, body and
purse. You know who is respon-
sible, and how and why. You can
prove it. But try and sue.
Yet who would sue on such
grounds, even if there was a law?
That is fair question, and an
interesting one. For it is charac-
teristic Of racial discrimination
