There is monthly magazine
 published in New York City called
 THE PROTESTANT. Since it's
 first issue I have been vitally in-
 terested in it's success. I am inter
 ested in it for several reasons. One
 of these is that from the word go
 it has been a scrapper. l have not
 always agreed with it in every
 word which has appeared in it's
 columns; there are passages in the
 Bible which seriously irk me, and on occasion I have violently dis
 agreed with We3ster on the defini
 tions given to certain words in his
 dictionary. But in it's overall poli-
 cy, in it's willingness to take on
 anybody, no matter how big, if he
 challenges the rights of the peo-
 pie to democratic freedom, THE
 PROTESTANT has not yet way
 cred. and for that reason mainly
 it has loyal supporter in my lit tie corner. Attacks On It Expected
 As would most naturally be ex- pected, the policies of the maga- zine would bring it into sharp dis favor with a varied list of enc mics. I believe it's editors knew this from the very beginning. If they are as naive as I am, though, they probably had hoped that-these attacks would come from the enc mics of the people, in the main, and not from the ranks of the op- pressed minorities THE PROTES- TANT is serving. Hence, they were probably as surprised as 1 was few days ago to see the edi- tor of newspaper which in Bos- ton expresses the hopes, the frus- trations and the achievements of a noble and important minority group and one of the most bitterly persecuted - come out with a direct frontal attack on the magazine, it's methods, it's edi-
 tors, it's policies and everything connected with it. This editor, MT. Segal of the Jewish Weekly Times,1 gave a reason for his attack; he laid it to the fact that THE PROT ESTANT criticized, perhaps even fought, certain groups within his minority's ranks which were charged with acts not in the en- tire interest of the Jewish people, i My Nickel's Worth
 Without presuning in any way to act as defender to as gigantic a social weapon as THE PROT ESTANT has proven itself to be, I still would like to inject my lit tie nickeps worth into the contro- versy, just for the sake of the rec ord. I think I can do it best by !, sticking to a few facts about my own. race, since it bears in many respects a striking similarity to that other minority whose editor doesn't like HIS group criticized. | Among Negroes there are many types of individual and organiza- ton; many are good and are fight 1 ing tooth-and-nail to preserve what few gains our group has been | able to make in the face of monu- mental opposition. Then there is another class; if they were Jewish, feel sure they would belong to some of the organizations which | THE PROTESTANT criticizes.

New Patriarch Picked
For Greek Church
BY the Assoeiotsd Press

ISTANBUL, Turkey, Feb. 20 de-
layeO Scholarly Maximos of Chal-
ledon, son of Black Sea parents, was
elevated today to Patriarch of the
Greek Orthodox Church, one of the
important thrones in world religion.
BY unanimous vote of II arch
bishops, Maximos was chosen sue
cessor to Benjamin l who died
Sunday.
Maximos was one of three nomi-
mated for patriarch 10 years ago,
but Turkey objected and Benjamin
was elected. This time the Turks
abstained from taking any voice in
the selection, an action which many
thought indicated a desire for closer
relations with the Greeks.
All princes OF the Orthodox Church
are of Greek origin but the Turkish
subjects, under provisions of the
treaty of Lausanne. The throne of
the patriarchate is at Fener on the
Golden Horn here.
Maximos is the 164th patriarch.
Maximos faces many problems.
Persons close to the patriarchate
mention growing Russian influence
in the church since the election last
year of the Patriarch Alexis, first
leader of the Russian church chosen
since the Soviets came to power.
