facts changed any by an intepre-
tation, as yet INFESTED, of why we
are thus and so? Surely we are not
so frightened nor our friends so in
secure in their faith of our es-
sential worth as human beings that
the facts about US must be denied.
These are questions that arise
chiefly in discussions with the in
tellectuals of both races who may
be well grounded in economics, poll
tics, law or science, but know moth
ing about sociology and anthro-
pology and profess to have no re-
spect for these fields. One can
only hope that they will become
less rigid in their self-satisfaction.
Their knowledge will be enhanced,
not contaminated, by information
concerning the social sciences.
The nature of the personality of
Negroes is put dramatically into
issue by the Times March 81 re-
view of Richard Wright's new au-
photography, "Black Boy" Mr..
Wright, whose skill as an author
often stays criticism of his ideas,
presents the Negro as completely
brutalized by oppression. He doubts
the validity of any genuine emo
tons in the Negro people, doubts
that they have ever "been allowed
to catch the full spirit of Western
civilization" Of course the boys
of the 92nd Division in combat in
northern Italy are catching some of
it and most of US have an oppor-
tunity to catch quite a lot on the
home front, war or no war. The
full spirit of Western civilization
contains as much brutality as it
does a tradition of love and hope.
Perhaps we reflect most the
values we have come to know
best. But it is dangerous to as
sert that hate and savagery in Ne
groes are based on lack of accultu-
ration. The white and Negro
worlds are not that far apart. The
Negro people, even the most print
tive peasant folk Of the rural
South and those who have paid the
high social costs of urbanization,
are not without hope, not without
human dignity. The stereotypes
assigned by our oppressors are
damaging enough. That Richard
Wright, perhaps our most gifted
writer, should strip US clean Of all
feeling is a greater injury. Some
where in between these two ex-
tremes is a courageous people max
ing a creditable adjustment to a
difficult situation.

Lest we forget their daring and

only in the presence of prejudiced
white people. One must be willing
to agree that Negroes are exactly
like white people of their same
economic and cultural level, or one
must say that their seemingly diff
ferent manner of laughing or paint
ing or dancing is just a defense
mechanism. The purists, white and
Negro, will have it no other way.
All who attempt to mention facts
are accused by them of subscribing
to the stereotypes set up by the
advocates of white supremacy.
Of course, Negroes don't clap
hands and sing all day long, as the
good old Southern legend goes.
Neither are they completely bitter,
full of hate and hopelessness, which
they tend to express as soon as the
white mans back is turned and
even say in front of him if they
look upon him as a friend. Negroes
have lived, in varying intensity, in
very special environment, having
both physical and mental dimen-
sions. They have been affected by
their experiences. The Marxists say
it is all a question Of jobs and in
come. The behavioristic psycholo-
gists are inclined to go along with
them. Redistribute the wealth and
equalize the environment, they say,
and you will have a nation of sim
liar beings, each one a carbon copy
of his fellow citizen, regardless of
race, creed or nationality.
Whether or not American Ne
groes would have personalities just
like white Americans if there were
no race problem is a matter of
speculation. Certainly human per-
sonality is related to intelligence,
but is related to other factors also.
Why can we not discuss the diff
ferences among people without
necessarily imputing inequalities ?
II we have not reached this level
of intellectual maturity, then we
are very far indeed from solutions.
The cultural facts, as for example,
that Negroes have developed a
different kind of music and rhythm,
a different way of singing, an art
and wit with different character
istics, are facts that may be OBJ
served, examined and, if one is re-
Taxed enough, enjoyed.
What if we do these things just
to confound white people, behaving
only one way If they are around and
another only if they are not? What
If all that we do is just a way to
get along in a tough world-all
escapism and defense? Are the

would give both races more
strength than they ever dreamed.
However, the habit in the cur
rent manner of going about things
in the associations of interracial
intercourse, namely, to have repre-
sentatives of both groups talk to
each other as though they were
natural enemies, but conversing
under the white flag of truce, can
and has done more harm than any
thing else to the hope of complete
Jewish-Negro understanding.

If Jewish leaders and those en-

race, who are sincerely seeking to
bring about a greater understand
ing between the two races, in which
the common bonds of friendship
and unity will be stressed, actually

practices, they would find that

the Negro in the neighborhood
takes his troubles; to the Jewish
butcher goes the Negro seeking
credit for small purchases, and so
on down the line. The degree Of
affability is enhanced by the every
day working out of living together
amicably of these two un-alike
people.
The affinity that the Negro feels
with the Jew is surprising and
would be extremely surprising to
the Jew himself if he actually knew
how close the average Negro feels
towards him. Of course, there is
the element of jealousy that exists
among all people and that is COM
mon among Negroes who think the
Jew is taking all his money with
him helpless to stop him, and this
jealousy is best seen in discussions
of the Jew on the street corner or
in the pool room where those who
come in contact with him most pro-
fessionally relate their experiences
and let loose their squawks.
Hardest hit by a squawker are
those Jews who are in the enter
tainment business, whether as
theatre owners or managers and
booking agents for bands, acts, and
performers-they catch hell. They
are roundly abused, dissected, put
together, and broken up again in
long talks by the people they
handle. Yet the record shows these
very Negroes who do the loudest
bowling seldom, if ever, leave the
management of the Jewish agent
with whom they have been identi-
fed. There are cases on record
where Negro orchestra leaders,
singers, dancers, and others have
been managed by the same person
for as long as twenty years and,
while these people will talk glibly
and loudly how they have been
robbed, they show no inclination to
pick up and leave.
All this points to a healthy state
upon which real unity can be built
by the Negro and the Jewish peo-
pie. The thing that inks the Negro
most about the Jew, aside from his
alleged sharp trading practices, is
tendency of the Jew, once he gets
IN his feet, to look the other way
when the Negro with whom he has
been associated in former times
comes by. This is not really a
Jewish trait and should not be
ascribed as such. It is common to
most Of US, when we get a new
coat, hat, shoes, cane and gloves,
to walk on the other side of the
street if we can get over there and
ignore the fellows with whom we
were close pals when our feet were
on the ground and we had patches
in our pants.
In the case of the Jews, it is a
sensitive point with Negroes be-
cause Of the difference in color. The
Negro, who cusses out one of his
own who goes snooty, secretly ad-
mires him and feels it necessary
to 60 to his rescue if said Negro
is mistreated by people of another
race. However, he does not feel
the same way about the Jew who
gets prosperous and retires COM
pletely from the Negro scene upon
which he built his fortune.

By Lieut.. Andrew HartshOrn
When God built the universe,
He made the earth from pole to
pole.
And the very last thing he gave to
it,
Was Mans immortal soul.
Adam ate the forbidden fruit,
And this sin has taken it's toll.
But with this sin upon his head,
Man still has his immortal soul.
The floods came in Noah's time,
And took everything the earth did
hold.
But at the end of those rainy days,
Stood man with his immortal soul.
God gave his only Son to a world
of sin,
Of this the Angels told.
That Christ was born upon the
earth,
To redeem that immortal soul.
Wars will come and wars will go,
Taking mans life and his gold.
But, even evil with all its might,
Cannot destroy mans immortal
soul.
Now don't you think it's time, my
friend
To fix your eyes on your goal,
A life of peace and sacrifice here,
For eternal happiness to your i'm
mortal soul.

He never knocked upon my door
Or crossed my humble sill,
And yet he sat before my fire,
In spirit took family part;
He never took my hand in his
And yet knew as great thrill;
He called me friend upon the air,
And lived forever in my heart
We never met upon the street,
Where we might pass the time of day,
He sat high on mighty seat,
And faced the crises great and grim,
Yet had the time to think of me,
Shaped small and took step my way,
Though things and distance interviewed,
And thus, grew akin to him.
He never knew me by a name,
Winston, Joe, John or such,
And yet he cared so much about
The way | earned my daily bread,
He gave his words and acts for me,
His great human, personal touch,
That while he lived might feel free
From all my erstwhIe fear and dread.
He never knew me by my race,
By my color, or by my creed,
He looked on all with gentle grace,
And thought in terms OF human need.
DE helped me win back self-respect,
His warm bright faith made trouble thaw,
Where once l leaned walked erect,
