A Message From The President
OF The Rabbinical Association

ism and the present day Reform
Jews accuse each other in compli-
mentary misunderstanding.
Everybody talks about Religion
as the distinguished characteristic
of the Jew, and yet no two Jews
mean the same thing by Religion.
Some think of Religion as ritual
istically observant as prescribed
in past centuries, others speak of
Religion in Micah's definition,
Ito do justly, to love mercy and
to walk humbly with thy God"
There are millions of Christians,
Mohammedans and others who
accept that pronouncement of
Micah as their definition of Re-
ligion. There are other factors
than any of the various definitions
of Religion that make a man
Jew. AS people who have had
four thousand years of history
and heroism in suffering, and
nobility of character, all for the
sake of what each one calls his
Religion, his Judaism, why can
not we today respect and under
stand each other, and allowing
for pluralism in religious thoughts
and political outlook, and work
together with superhuman intel
ligence and good will, for the rem
nant of Israel and the dignity of
every human being.
This, then, is my prayer to God,
for the House of Israel: Give us
a wise and understanding heart,
intelligence and good will, on this
New Year, to honor and respect
each other, to labor and sacrifice
together, for the welfare of our
suffering brothers, and for the
dignity of personality of every
child of man. o God, hear our
prayer, and have mercy on us. |
Cast us not away from Thy pres
ence and take not Thy holy spir-
it from us. Amen.

We Jews have been fighting

nounced that he would personally
prosecute the case in the event the
men were indicted. He later dis
couraged the idea of solicitation of
funds for prosecution of the Off
GERS with the statement:
81 want the public to know that
my office has ample funds to inves-
tigate and prosecute this case. We
are doing everything possible to as
semble the facts, and if the grand
jury indicts we will prosecute these
men to the fullest extent of the law.
Therefore contributions to some or
ganizations to push the matter
along will avail nothing.
"There has been no delay since
the facts were presented to my Of
flee. Commissioner Boyle said he
had been working on the case from
the very beginning"
The Memphis office OF the
NAACP had been soliciting funds
to prosecute the case and expressed
the opinion it entered the case after
no action was taken by police Off
cials. A lawyer had ben hired to
prosecute the accused.
The former policemen are ac-
cused of having picked up the girls
early on the morning of August 2
in their squad car, taking them to
a secluded spot and criminally as
saulting them.
Both ex-officers denied the
charge when confronted with the
girls several days later. However,
they resigned from the police force
the following day, August 5.

1t was mainly through Poston's eff

The departure from government

VETERAN PRODUCER PLANS
EIGHT ALL-NEGRO FILMS
FOR 1916 SEASON

FOR 1916 EAyON
NEW YORK, Sept. 10 (ANP) ~
If the plans Of the Hollywood Pic
lures Corp. for the season of 1945--
46 carry through, theater-goers
will be guaranteed at least eight all
Negro screen features, the first Of
which is Harlem On Parade" with
Lena Horne.
This was disclosed in a coast-to-
coast radio interview between Ar
rienne Ames, the famous movie and
radio star commentator, and Jack
Goldberg, one of the pioneers in the
production of Negro stage and
screen attractions. In the interview
Mr.. Goldberg explained about
many of the difficulties he encoun-
tered in the course of his making
of Negro screen features. This ap-
piled particularly to the time when
he opened his own studies at Coral
Gables, Fla, where Negroes
handled the prodution of the films
from the beginning to end. This
included writing, directing. acting
and mechanics.
Miss Ames in her introduction
called Mr.. Goldberg the "man Of
firsts in the Negro field of amuse-
ments." She mentioned among his
outstanding first was in sending
Mamie Smith, the noted blues sing
er, on her first cross-country tour.
Next he produced Josephine Ba-
ker's first screen production in
Siren of the Tropics to follow this
with Bill Robinson's picture debut
in, Harlem in Heaven" In between
times he found the time to begin
the first all-Negro newsreel.
Prior to his entrance in the mo-
tion picture field he produced such
stage attractions as "How Come"
''Put and Take" and deep Har-
lem." He followed these New York
stage shows with "Rosanne," star
ring Charles Gilpin. Next he pro-
duced Emperor Jones" with Jules
Bledsee, who succeeded Charles
Gilpin in the role. He also produced
T-11," the first all-Negro show
to tour the burlesque circuit, break
ing all existant records for attend
ance.
Among the all-Negro feature pic
lures Mr.. Goldberg has produced,
according to his interview with Ad-
rienne Ames, there was Double
Deal" mystery In Swing" "Par-
adise In Harlem," Sunday Sinners"
and Murder On Lenox Avenue"
Believing that the time was ripe
for motion picture extolling the
development and accomplishments
