The Northwest enterprise. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1931-1952, 1948-11-24

The aftermath or an election,
like the aftermath of battle, is
filled with talk of what-might-
have-been. OF infinitely greater
importance, however, is the ques-
ton of what is going to happen
now that Mr.. Truman has become
President in his own right, by
mandate of the voters, and has
with him Congress which is
solidly Democratic in both houses.
There are those who says that
Mr.. Truman, during the campaign,
took a stand which was somewhat
to the left of his natural posi-
tion-that, in other words, his
bark was worse than his bite will
be from the point of view of
business. Others take no stock in
this attitude. The very conserva-
tive Wall Street Journal, for in
stance, thinks that Mr.. Truman
ment precisely what he said, and
will do everything he can to put
his election promises into full
effect. 1t said, editorially, that the
idea that the President may dis
count some of the things he said
in the heat of the campaign
wholly neglects one of the out
standing characteristics of Mr..
Truman. He keeps his commit
ments and he honors his alleg-
iances even when 1t is difficult
to do so... The prospects for
the immediate future are down in
black and white and it seems
to us rather foolish not to believe
the words and sentences"
At the same time, it must be
remembered that Mr.. Truman's
legislative program must be ap-
proved by Congress to become
effective. Here is one of the big
question marks of the moment.
Joe Martin, the present Speaker
of the House, who will resume
his old role as minority leader
next session, has said that the
President can get about anything
he really wants from Congress.
Others are nowhere near so sure.
A sizeable part of the Democratic
strength in the House is from
the South, and its leanings tend
in a conservative direction. A
number of the Democratic SEN

SEGREGATION
IN AUDIENCE
SO NO SHOW

AUSTIN, Tex. - Hazel Scott,
New York jazz and classical plan
list, declined to appear here before
a segregated audience and the
Negro artists appearance was
cancelled.
What justification can anyone
have who comes to hear me and
then objects to sitting next to an
other Negro" the pianist said.
Miss Scott was billed to appear
at Gregory gymnasium on the
campus of the University of Tex
as. The show, sponsored by the
university's cultural entertain
ment committee, was a sell-out
with 1000 seats sold and money
was being refunded.
Miss Scott said she had under

SEGREGATION
Is OUTMODED

One thing the champions of
racial segregation have overlook
ed or ignored is the fact, obvious
to many, that most white Ameri-
cans are Indifferent or opposed to
it.
While some Americans are still
clamoring that racial segregation
is necessary because most Ameri-
cans want 1t, 1t is becoming in
creasingly clear that they do not.
AS proof we cite the evidence
of the recent survey made by the
tenants of the jim-crow Stuyve-
SAINT Town housing project of the
Metropolitan Life Insurance prof.
ect in the City of New York.
A poll of the tenants (an
Whitley recently revealed that So
per cent of the tenants (white)
were not opposed to Negro resi-
dents.
All along the Metropolitan Of
ficials have been assuming that
quite the contrary was the fact
and that the only way to protect
their investment was to bar Ne
groes.
Basing their argument on this
fact the Metropolitan persuad-
ed the late New York Mayor, Flo
relic II. LaGuardia. and a suffi-
cient number of other members
of New York's board of estimate
to permit the company to practice
discrimination in the selection of
tenants.
The fact of the matter is that
no property has ever been de-
preciated in value by lowering the
barriers to Negro occupancy.
The Negroes who are able to
occupy premises in so-called white
neighborhoods are usually of a
superior type from the higher in
come brackets and are more likely
to enhance rather than depreciate
property values.
Discrimination against such an
invasion" may be justified by
social snobbery but certainly not
by economic necessity.
Segregation in housing projects
and elsewhere is simply outmoded
because indefensible, and the
sooner 1t is abandoned, the better
for all concerned.

fully understand the Importance
of a good Jewish education. These
young people that 1 met told me
that ignorance of their faith and
little Jewish knowledge have
caused a complex of fear and I'M
certainty. Some of these young
people explained that in their
home communities they have in
adequate or no Jewish educational
facilities, and they are bewildered
and confused in facing their re-
ligiOus future. Let us be honest
about it. Jewish communities
without a Rabbi, without religious
schools, without worship, are
breeding places for inter-marriage
and religious disintegratiOn. 1t
seems to me that in order to save
many of our people. Every town
and hamlet in our southland should
be canVassed as it was for the
United Jewish Appeal, and their
needs be reported to a central
Jewish agency. We could bring
so much joy and happiness to
many Jewish families and bring
hope and comfort to yOungs and
old who are in need. The caval-
cade sponsored by the Union of
American Hebrew Congregations
was a splendid beginning which
should be intensified and repeated.
The reports 1 have read in regard
to the cavalcade convinced me
even more of the spiritual needs
of our people.
