In Analysing the major findings
of the Anti-Defamation Leagues
survey, two contrasting conclus-
ions emerge to point up the pres
ent nature of the problem of
anti-Semitism in the United
States:
1-Organized or stimulated
anti-Semitism is on the Wane.
Professional bigOts are stumbling
on the rOadblOcks of public de-
risiOn. whether this favorable
condition will persist may depend
on whether an economic recession,
with its accompanying social ills,
is allowed to set in.)
2-On the other hand, morgan
lied anti-Semitism is coming more
to the surface. Unconsciously,
large segment of the. American
public permits religious bias to
permeate it's individual thoughts
and actions. It's ultimate mani
festations are painfully obvious:
discrimination in housing, inem-
ployment, in education and in
social intercourse.
Organized Jewry must boldly
meet this new aspect of the prob
lem. 1t must meet it with a dy-
manic and positive program of
communal education designed to
teach the American community
that its best bet for progress and
prosperity lies in the very ideals
Of democracy to which it historic
ally clings.

Tieup Of Ship Cargoes
In 7 West Coast Cities
Called Labor. Act Test
BY the Associated Pres.

IT
LOS ANGELES, Oct. 2.-Most
cargo in freighters and on docks of
Los Angeles and Long Beach Har-
bors lay untouched today in the
stalemate between CIO Longshore-
men and the Waterfront Employers
Association which union official
called "the first major test of the
Taft-Hartley Act"
I'VE can no longer depend on law
but must rely on our economic
strength" the union official, Louis
Goldblatt, international secretary of
the Longshoremen's and Warehouse
mems Union, told mass meeting of
dock workers.
1--WE hope to get an impartial
chairman (of the Coast Labor Rela-
tions Committee) by the end of the
week and this dispute will imme-
diately be placed before him." Mr..
Goldblatt said
The Labor Relations Committee
has two union and two employer
members but the post of impartial
chairman now is vacant.
Fifteen freighters and approx
mately 5000 members of the union
were idle for the second day in the
dispute which the ILWU calls a
lockout and the WEA terms strike.
The union has demanded that it
be named bargaining agent for dock
foremen. The WEA, representing
IL stevedoring concerns, has refused
on the ground foremen are part of
management. Before the freight
shutdown, ordered by the employ
ers yesterday, the ILWU foremen
had been picketing one of the stev-
edoring concerns in support of de-
mands for union recognition.
WEA officials said this picketing
was to be extended and that the
complete shutdown was ordered to
bring the dispute to q head.

 The appeal was made by French Delegate Georges Boris as the Uni ted Nations Economic and Social Council launched a general de- bate on the economic commission for Europe.

NAVY DESERTER
 WILL BE TRIED
 ON BURGLARIES
Naval Authorities Relin- Quish Jurisdi lfion on
 Youth Arrested Here

Headquarters of the 18th Naval District, in Seattle, has notified u. s. District Attorney P. J. Gil- more Jr., that it doesn't want the return of 19 year old George Harschmann if he is prosecuted here or other charges. Harsch- mann was arrested here ten days ago by Assistant Chief of Police Walter O. Sim and booked in connection with the burglary of a fox farm in the Keku Islets.
 Following his arrest, it was dis covered that Harschmann is a de- serter from the U. s. Navy. having escaped from the Navy Brig at Bremerton last year. Gilmore wir- ed the Navy requesting instruc- tions on the youths prosecution.
 Harschmann's alleged accomplice, George Freel, has been bound over to the Grand Jury at Peters burg on two charges. He is accused of larceny from a boat and with burglary. Harschmann is also &C., cused or one count of burglary and may face other charges fol- lowing the completion of an inves- tigation by U. S. Marshal William T. Mahoney.
 Sim Gives Up Reward
 In the meantime. Sim has learned that it is wiser not to count ones chickens before they're matched" The City Police officer had been informed that a reward existed for Harschmann's arrest and was mentally spending the extra money when he was told of the complications of the afore- said reward.
 Under U. s. Government regula- tions, all expenses for the board, lodging and transportation of an Navy prisoner must be paid for by the person receiv- ing the reward until the prisoner is released to the Navy. Other government agencies are not auth orized to expend money for the capture of Navy prisoners.
 This would mean considerable expense for the return of a pris- oner from Alaska to Seattle, partic- ularly when the reward is usually only about $50. After considering these factors, Sim has sadly re- lincuiShed all claims to a reward end says that next time, I'll con- tinue to do my duty and give up all thoughts of a bonus
