Liberalism
Grows In South"
Says adj Leader

ATLANTA, Ga. Despite the
increased activity of anti-demo-
cratic forces since VI Day and
a deterioration in certain aspects
in the status of Jewish commu-
mites, there is cause for opti-
mism in viewing the Southern
scene," according to Alexander
F. Miller, director of the South
eastern Regional Office of the
Anti-Defamation League of B'nai
Birth, in making his annual re-
port.
"The Southeastern office was
established in Atlanta, Georgia,
on February l, 1945, at the re-
quest of community and B'nai
Birth leaders who recognized
the significant tensions of the
section and the need for an ap-
proach IN the pattern OF this
area of the country"
Mr. Miller's optimism stems
from the numerous clergymen,
civic leaders, organization direc-
tors, and public spirited indi-
viduals who have approached
him during the past IL months
and offered their full coopera-
ton in the work of bulwarking
democracy.
'The South today is no more
homogeneous in its thinking and
it's ideologies,' Mr.. Miller stated
in his report, than any other

voiced by President Harry S.

seph M. Proskauer, president of

tee, on the occasion of the thirty
ninth annual meeting of the
organization held at the Hotel
Waldorf Astoria Saturday thru

reprinted and distributed by the
thousands. The Dean himself
sent hundreds of copies to men
in the armed forces all over the
world. Hundreds of copies of
the excellent book ONE GOD
have been distributed for use in
the classrooms of Sunday and
day schools. In like fashion the
radio programs, outdoor adver-
Using and other positive prof.
ects which have been developed
over the years by the experts in
group relations at national head
quarters of the ADJ were foster
ed intensively throughout this
region. Over 100000 items of
literature were judiciously distri-
buted, particularly to leaders in
various fields.
ION the negative side of the
picture" Mr.. Miller pointed out
in his report, ''is the evidence
that the status of the Jewish
community which had been de-
teriorating for a number of years
is still doing so. This was shown
by continued discrimination not
only on a social level but also
in civic and luncheon clubs, in
fraternal organizations, at resort
hotels, and even in certain
swimming pools" Mr.. Miller also
viewed with alarm the growing
number of organizations, news
papers, periodicals, and anti
democratic individuals who con-
tinue to be engaged in disrup-
tive activity in the South.

In our travels throughout the South we
have enjoyed a number of stimulating argu-
ments with both Jewish and nom Jewish friends
about the feasibility of joining Jewish War
Veterans organization or the American Legion
or some other veteran organization. Since this
matter is of general interest and is much deep
er than the average person realizes. in view of
the fact that this same controversy embodies
opinions which fit many other Jewish organiza-
tons, we wish to make ourselves clear on GER
tain principles.

The only upset in the New Year
Day football games was the East
West, TT tie, as the West aggrega-
ton was generally rated as two
touchdown favorite.
In the various Bowl games, the
results were just about as expected,
although Miami University had to
put on a Frank MerriwelI' finish
to save themselves from being held
to a 6-6 tie with Holy Cross With
less than five seconds left, Hudson
of Miami intercepted a Holy Cross
forward pass on Miami's 11-yard
line and raced 80 yards for the win
ming touchdown, with the extra point
being booted after the clock had
stopped.
ST Mays gave Oklahoma bat
tie for the first three quarters, but
they tired perceptibly in the last
quarter, permitting the Aggies to put
the game on ice.
Out in the Rose Bowl, Alabama's
Crimson Tide hoped out in front
in the first quarter, when they
pushed over a touchdown after re-
covering a Southern California fun
BILE. From there on they were in
command all the way and it was just
a question of how much they would
win by.
While Texas was favored to win
over Missouri, even the most OPTIC
mistic Texas rooters hardly expected
them to pile up 40 points against
Missouri's 27 for the high scoring
game of the day.

and that he is playing winter ball.
AS matter of fact he pitched the

Jimmy Riser took his Treaders out
of town for a doubleheader on Sun
day against the Washington Bears,
the 1913 basketball world champions.
The first game was played in Wash
ington before 1000 fans, with the
Bears coming out on top, Al to %.
The Treaders put up a real battle,
leading 17-7 at the end of the first
quarter, but lost whatever chance
they had of winning when they lost
the services of their player-coach,
Mel Henry, who was tossed out of
the game midway in the second
quarter, via the personal foul route.
In the evening, they moved over
to Baltimore for the second game
and although they again lost, they
were far from disgraced. This game
was free scoring affair, the final
being the Bears SO, the Treaders Al.
On Sunday afternoon they will be
back in the Armory, when they meet
the fast stepping Baltimore Nets in
a benefit game for the Hagerstown
Colored Junior Police Club. The
Nets boast one of the best colored
teams in the East and should give
the Treaders a real workout.

Game To Be Played AS Benefit
For Colored Junior Police Club

This Sunday afternoon will find
the Ludwig Treaders striving for
their fifth win in nine starts, when
they meet the highly-touted Balti-
more Nets in the feature attraction
of the Armory double-header that
pits the Marketeers against the Ha-
gerstown Colored Tigers in the pre-
lin. The proceeds of the afternoon
will go for the betterment of the
local colored Junior Police Club.
Nets No Push0ver
Mel Henry's lads will have their
hands full in taking on the Nets,
one of the outstanding colored teams
in the Middle Atlantic area. They've
been tackling some tough teams in
their Sunday night encounters in the
Baltimore Garden, including the
Washington Bears, Philadelphia Ath-
letics, Paterson Pros and the Jersey
City Reds. Only one of those clubs,
the hashy, classy Bears, have been
able to chalk up win over them.
Paced by Ezra Murdoch, Ga" CEN
ter and coach from Morris Brown
College, Pat Robinson of Tuskogee
College, and Ounce Powell Of Lin
coin University, the Nets will floor
team that knows all the ropes of
the court game. For the past sew
eral years they've been reaping big
harvests for their popular owner,
Ben Taylor, one of the best known
Negro sportsmen in the East.
The Treaders, however, are con-
fident they can take the measure of
the Baltimore five. and with the
addition of several new PLAYERS, they
will be at top strength for the con-
test. Mel, Vie Barnhart, Johnny
Muster, Joe Moss, and Bill Angstadt
are all rarin' to go, and Fred Davis
and Hal Moser, the two newcomers,
will be right in there pitchin' with
them. Davis needs no introduction
