The news will be welcomed by
thousands of youngsters who fol-
lowed the horses In motion pictures
with avid interest. All Of them
should be ready for their sawdust
debut Monday in the Shrine Circus
at Uline Arena and will perform
there the remainder OF the week.
Two OF the best-known horse train
ers in the business, Albert Ostermaier
and the Montana Kid, are handling

avocation honestly. as his father

JET Pilot Leaves n. Y
For Derbytown After
Jamaica Victory
BY me Asseeiofsd Press

NEW YORK, April 17.-Jet Pilot
left town on the Louisville train
today, and In hts travelling bag he
no doubt carried his personal horse
shoe or four-leaf clover, or what
ever 1t Is q gee-gee uses for a lucky
piece.
He's the first Of the East's
glamour boy gallopers to head for
Derbytown. And Of his front-run-
ming. two-lengths win in the Ja-
maica Handicap yesterday he looks
about a. good rs there Is around
here, pending later word from fel-
lows like Cosmic Bomb, the winter
book favorite, or 'Phalank, the
stretch-rinner, or Blue Border and
Stepfather, the recent fancy hop-
olas, in the Wood Memorial Sat-
urday.
Better Value could come under
that latter heading, too. But Train
er Make Hirsch has indicated that
all Is not well with "The Value. /"
The word Is he probably will take
a long vacation and may be among
those conspicuotlsly absent from the
Derby, as well as the Wood.
This will cause no shouts Of glee
among those who sent 1t In on
him in the winter books at IL to l.
eighth on the list.
Making his first start since mid
January, when Trainer Tom Smith
took him away from the races to
aim him strictly for Col. Matt
Winn's fancy scramble. the Pilot
toted 121 pounds through the slop
handsomely yesterday. 1t was only
a 6-furlong waltz, of course, but he
was impressive. The time was
1:1l%, good over . sloppy track.
Handled by Johnny L,ongden, Jet
Pilot ran second behind Halcyon
Air for the first quarter-mile, raced
the latter into defeat and led for
the final half-mile. The Jaclyn
Stables I Will, the popular choice,
finished second, beating Brooke
meade Stables Peace Harbor by
two lengths.

of his citizenship, without reSer-
walton or restriction.
"But social equality is some
thing entirely different. 1t is pet
ter for the Negroes to be segre-
gated-in fact they desire 1t Tor
obvious reasons. Like all groups
they are gregarious. They seek
out their own kind, and prefer the
company of their own people
Certainly there is no segrega-
ton of Jews on most of the pubic
beaches of the country, but you
will find that Jews automatically
tend to congregate at one spoI'
where they know they will meet
co-religionists or neighbors or
friends. Exactly the same thing
is true with respect to the Ne
groes. Even if we should afford
them the freedom of the beach,
YOU wiuld find that they would
continue to segregate themselves
, for internal social reasons"
MY lawyer friend argued well,
but the faIIacy in his reasoning is
typical of the Southern pseudo
liberal. One of the SOuth's best
known Jewish leaders, after read
ing a first draft of this article,
and agreeing that it accurately
represented the state of affairs,
expressed some doubt as to
whether it should be published.
He offered one interesting warn
ing, not devoid of wisdom: In the
Southern inter-racial movement
Jews should not be the leaders, but
should be with the leaders. Nor
ally and officially we ought not
hesitate at all, but as matter of
practical politics, our activity, if
carried on alone, will hurt the Ne
grOes (and us) rather than help.
Within our ranks, however,
there must be no delay. In the
Southern Jewish press, in the Jew
ish classroom and from the Jewish
pulpit there must be carried on
an unremitting campaign to cleanse
our people of this stain. Courage
and perseverance are dual qualities
required, but we dare not fail. It
is not alone that failure will link
us with infamy and ignominy in
the crucial days that lie ahead.
Even more important is the sal
vaging of our own self-respect
and conscience.
1t is a task which Southern Jews
alone can perform for themselves.
1t is indeed new and modern
autO-emancipatiOn which thew
must bring abOut-an emancipa-
ton from the prejudices and other
social diseases they have been too
quick to acquire from their en-
virOnment.
