major Jewish organizations
helped argue the restrictive cove
nant cases in the United States
Supreme Court this year Jewish
organizations have led the fight
to wipe out segregation in public
housing, and to open public hoSpi-
tails to all first class physicians
without regard to race, creed or
national origin. Jewish actors and
actresses have played important
parts in trying to broaden the OPP
portunities for Negro actors and
actresses on the stage and screen.
The third important reason is
that we have learned the simple
truth phrase by Langston
Hughes in his poem, Freedom
Train"-"Freedom amt freedom
if a man amt free" We know the
only way to insure freedom for
ourselves is to fight for freedom
no matter whose freedom is in
volved. AS long as reaCtionary
gentiles can discriminate against
Jews, no Negro is safe.
The heaIthiest demonstration of
our appreciation Of freedom which
has occurred in a long time has
been Negro support for broaden
ing admission of Jewish refugees
from Europe. We know that these
people have suffered, and that
they represent no threat, no rein
forcement of the forces of preJu-
dice. They are hungry people
hungry for the liberty and seCur-
ity of American which we have
not achieved but which we are de-
termined to achieve in fullest
measure; and which we will
achieve rapidly if the Jewish and
other Disseminated against mi
norities continue to stand and
work together.
President Truman'S election has
shown that the sum total of the
minoritieS and right-thinking Am
orleans is the majority.

Harris Says st. Paul
Lacks PrOgressiVeneSS
OF Other Towns

Editor: Like everyone else, l
would rather be a booster than a
knocker, but when it seems that
something is not right | think it
ought to be criticised.
Now st. Paul is supposed to be
a progressive town and the people
here are supposed to be progress
slve and well educated, but they
don't act like it. Where l came
from there is a well organized
NAACP, a community civic club,
and the fraternities have func-
tons for the benefit of the COM
munity,
Now ever since I've been here
in this town, I've heard much talk
about the Omega formal or the
Alpha Spring Party or the AKA
Hop" Is that all the college
trained people in this town think
about?
1t seems to me that the people
who spend a lot of money and
time getting a higher education,
should be able to do more than
give a big elaborate dance once a
year. / think that these people
could at least give some thought
to the betterment of the commun-
ity and the race. St. Paul isn't so
perfect that these young people
and older ones too can afford to
sit around these two or three
dinky beer tavernS and gossip
about the way some railroad
mans wife is playing around or
something just as important.
People in other towns are NOV
ing ahead just like the times are
moving, but lot of good brains
are going beer-stale here in this
mans town because there is no
other kind of action.
OF course, l like St. Paul but
this is one bad situation. | lay the
blame on these fraternitieS, Soror-
tiles and civic organizations which
are supposed to give the leader
ship in the community, but are
falling down on the job
| hope that someone will read
this and show me where some
thing worthwhile is going on. AS
| said before, l would rather be a
booster than a knoCker.

to remember the last time the
spreading propaganda gainst
Jews.
think at least three reasons
explain this decline. The first is
that more and more both Jews
and Negroes are realizing that
they have a common problem in
spite of its variations. The colored
student cannot get in certain state
universities at all; the Jewish
student can get in but has quota
put on the admission Of Jewish
students to the state university
medical school. The colored man
cannot buy middle class housing;
the Jewish man cannot buy some
high priced housing because of
opposition by real estate investors
and banking interests. Both Ne
groes and Jews have trouble get
ting jobs; but the trouble comes
at different levels. Both would
have the same trouble being ac-
copied as guests at certain hotels
and summer resorts.
The result is that both groups
have awakened to the fact that
they are foolish to dissipate their
strength fighting each other while
the common enemy is grinding
both of them down.
During the last war | served
on the District of Columbia
Registrant'S Advisory board. A
Gentle banker on the board kept
using every opportunity trying to
explain to me that he liked Ne
groes better than Jews because
Negroes weer 1909 Americans.
One day | got tired and asked him
il l was 4 1909 American why it
was as a lawyer | could not join
the white District of Columbia
Bar Association or eat in the
downtown restaurants or buy a
home in the suburbs, or go to the
same schools with the rest of the
Americans.
We did not have too much to
say to each other after that He
did not fool me. l knew the same
persons who hate Jews hate Ne
groes; except in this instance he
was a big man in the high finan-
cial brackets. and | did not repre-
sent enough of threat or Chal-
lengc to his interests for him to
waste time manifesting his hatred
to me. The Jews did, so he tried
to get me to team up with him
against thcm--selling me on the
old gag that as a Negro l was
different. But he was wrong.
The second reason for this de
cline in anti-ScmitiSm is the
amount of assistance we have re-
Gently been receiving from Jewish
people in our own fight for civil
rights. Jewish cooperation and as
SIStanCc has been a very import
ant factor in our advance for a
long time; the most notable in
stance being the RoSenwald Fund
which has helped build up Negro
education from the rural school
down South to Ph.D. scholarships
in foreign universities. But the
old pattern of assistance did not
see many Jews coming out in the
open and leading the fight for Ne
groeS' rights. Now it is different.
There are very few major Strug-
giles for Negro rights today in
which Jewish men and women are
not taking a prominent part.
Jewish veterans organizations
have waged an unrelentleSS fight
to see that Negro and all other
minority veterans get equal pro-
lection under the Gil. Bill of
Rights. Lawyers representing

the Democratic party deserves since
by its acts it on longer merits the
confidence of the Independent Amer
lean voter That party may well take
to heart Wallace's statement of a
year ago. the Democratic party
must either liberalize or die - The
nation is already burdened with one
party of reaction, has no need for a
similar second party, and certainly de-
serves one which is representative of
the interests of the great mass of av-
erage Americans

with the Wallace campaign as
means of expressing protest over the
Truman doctrine, universal military
training, so-called loyalty tests, etc.,

munist'', "red fascist" or any other
smear name that may be concocted

progressive Democrats and indepen-
dents will gain the upper hand in the
congress. In view of the sorry rec
