Tau Delt played host to AZA
only to be downed by the slug
ging AZAs 1876. AZA scored 6
runs before the frat could put a
man out. In the last of the ninth
inning Mickey Lefkowitz, who
went all the way on the mound
for AZA, walled two men and then
faced Lefty" Jud Werbelow
who slammed the ball for a
home-run. .
Austin Agron took high batting
honors for AZA with hits in S

persecution we see today con-
vinces us that the DANGER OF
FASCISM is still the No. l
threat to American Jewry.
Remembering well the fate of
six million of our people who
didn't recognize the enemy in
time to unite against him, we
ask:
Shall we give the big laugh
to the anti-semites and allow
name me-calling to divide us until
the arm-band JUDE" unites us?
Or shall we, in this historic ira
dition of the Jew, get together
with all progressive people NOW,
while there is still time to pre-
vent fascism and war?

Dear Editor:

Dear Editor:
This is in reply to a letter from
Leon Boonin appearing in your
May 9th issue.
For those who say that anti
Semitism has been outlawed in
the Communist countries, I rec
omend reading the series of arti-
cles now appearing in the N. Y.
Times on anti-Semitism in Soviet
Russia. Here is what these arti-
cles say in part:
At the time of the Russian
revolution nearly half of the
members of the Politburo were
Jews, and today there is only
one Jew left. At the time of the
revolution a great part of the
personnel of the Russian Foreign
Office were Jews, and today
there is hardly a Jew left hold
ing a job of any importance. In
the military school in Moscow
there is not one Jew today. In
the medical school in Moscow
there are but few Jewish stu
dents Jewish publications and
organizations, even the Jewish
anti-Fascist League, were recent
ly suppressed. The Jews are not
to have any organization of their
own. Most of the Jewish writers
are disappearing from the scene
and today the Jews have very
little influence in the political
and economic life of the country.
1t should be noted that in
Russia any Jew who speaks out
for Zionism is Immediately
shipped off to their famous slave
labor camps. In their newly-an-
nexed territories the Russians
robbed the Jews of all their prop
erty and after allowed" them
to go to the D. P. camps in Ger
many. And they robbed the living
as well as the dead.
Communist CzechoSlovakia did
not send any guns to Israel on
lend-lease. They sold the guns
for dollars supplied by America
and, by the way, they also sold
guns to the Arabs.
1t is hard for me to understand
how any Jew protesting love for
his own people could express any
sympathy either for Russia or
Communism.
Yours very truly,
(Signed) Jacob Fox

Letters to the GAto,
May Is, 1949


The Jewish People Fraternal
Order is justifiably outraged by
the vile slander against our or
ganization which appeared In
your last issue. Just what did
Jacob Fox mean when he called
the JPFO and its Emma Lazarus
Division "subversive"?
Did he mean the tons of food
and gallons of blood we gave to
Haganah? The $5,000,O00 we sent
for relief and rehabilitation OF
Jews in Europe and Israel? Our
125 schools for Jewish education
in America? The children's homes
we support in France and Bel
gium? Or the contributions we
have made to the Duarte Sani-
torium, the Mt. Sinai Hospital,
the ambulanceS we sent to Red
Mogen Dovid? Was he referring
to the YiddiSh classics we re-
printed in English? Or the books
on Jewish life which our ED
has just made available for the
first time to Tucson high school
and college students?
No. Mr.. Fox bases himself on
the unconstitutional act of the
Attorney General, who was will
ing to place the l. w. o. on his
"list" BUT IS NOT WILLING TO
BACK UP HIS POSITION IN
COURT-quite possibly because
his charge that the I. w. 0. is
subversive has as little founda-
ton as Gerald L. K. Smiths
charge that the Zionists are
TRAITORS!
Just what is the JPFO? Briefly
"a progressive national fraternal
order, with a broad cultural and
civic program. Our many cultural
events and our record of conscien-
tious service to the community is
already known in Tucson. Our
civic program includes ACTION
against such evils as antl-Sem-
itism and race discrimination.

for passage of new legislation
the Barrett Bill-which would
effectively and at long last lille
galize these blots on America. 1t
includes action in behalf of a
PEACEFUL FUTURE FOR OUR
CHILDREN, action Spurred on,
this first anniversary of Israel,
by the awful knowledge that
Israel would be among the first

JPFO is proud to be one of
the IS nationality groups affiliat-

10000 members for 125 million

HardhalI Out
For Summit
Street Lads

Many baseball fans regret the
announcement that Dunbar will
not enter a baseball team in the
newly organized public high
school circuit in Dayton this
spring. The reason given was
season in order to have more
money available for the purchase
of football equipment next fall.
The regular season will open
March 81 and will run until
Thursday April %, except for
spring recess from April II to Is.
Fairview, Wilbur Wright, Kiser,
Parker, Stivers and Roosevelt are
the entrants who will compete
this season. The teams will
compete in the district, regional
and state Journeys in May.
It was hoped that Dunbar
might be able to field a team and
provide some of the sterling COM
petition in baseball that the lads
provided on the gridiron and the
basketball floor. AS prospects
now appear, we will have to wait
until next year.

celebrate the 22nd Anniversary
of their World Wide Observance
Day Tuesday, March 20, with a
banquet and program at the Cen
trail YWCA at $50 Pm.
This is the day set aside each

business girls clubs in the
YWCA's of the world. 1t will be
celebrated simultaneously by the
more than 10000 B and I mem
bers in this country and in many
of the SO foreign countries
where the Association carries on
it's work, Miss Lucille Walsh,
chairman of this years observ-
ance announced today.
A program built around the
theme, STRENGTHENING Our
World Links, will be presented
at that time, with Mrs. C. A.
Seasholes as the speaker.
In commenting on the theme
chosen for this year, Miss Walsh
said that STRENGTHENING Our
World Links emphasizes the for
ward looking program of the
young business women of the
YWCA clubs of today. The
white-collar girl is growing in
creasingly conscious of her re-
sponsibility for world citizenship
"Our Association is concerned

The City Commission

The death of Commissioner Charles Smith last Sat
urday places the City Commission squarely on the spot
as regards the appointment of a Negro Commissioner. 1t
also places Negro leadership in Dayton on the spot as
regards the extent of the effort it makes to get a Negro
appointed.
Of the roughly 100000 population in Dayton, about
10 per cent or over 25, 900 are Negroes. Never since the
city charter was adopted in the early 19O0s has the Ne
gro population been represented on the municipal legis-
lative body created by that charter. Consequently, the
Negro population has been neglected in the receipt Of
goods and services it is the responsibility of the city to
give it's citizens.
A close look at our slum ghetto, at our dilapidated
grade schools will attest to that. It is high time that just
a little bit of that democracy one hears SO much clamor
about these days comes to Dayton. A great stride would
be made in that direction by the appointment of a Negro
to the City Commission to fill the vacancy left by Smith.
Many southern cities have Negro representation in
their government. Winston-Salem, N. c., Richmond Va,
are but two. Cincinnati has a Negro on it's city council,
as has Toledo. Dayton might even have had one had the
League of Women Voters and the local press not been so
slanted and vicious in it's treatment of McLin in the city
campaign in 1947.
There are many qualified Negroes in Dayton for the
position, Negroes who are qualified by their interest in
both local and national affairs, by their leadership in the
struggle for equality both here and abroad. There are
Negroes who have placed principle above partisan poll
tics in the day to day fight for democracy. Here are
some of them:
Reverend Granville Reed who has already run for
the Ohio House of representatives and who stands unre-
mittngly for the rights of the Negro people.
Fred Bowers, president of the South Side Civic Asso-
citation, who has appeared before the city commission
more than any other Negro to champion the cause not
only of the Negro, but of all the people here.
c. j. McLin, veteran campaigner, who has refused to
play politics for his own benefit at the expense of the
masses.
Reverend H. Laurence Mcneil liberal minister we'll
known for his civic activities.
Reverend J. Welby Broaddus, Attorneys Russell
Carter and Morris Simmons, these, too, are persons to be
seriously considered. a
The time is short the commission announces that it
will name Smiths successor in about two weeks. Now is
the time for resolutions from all organizations requesting
the appointment of a Negro. The Negro people of Day
ton are waiting to hear from civic, fraternal and church
groups. They are waiting for a Negro to fill the unex
pired term of the late Commissioner Smith.

Farm Housing Program
Discussed In Dover

A conference of the Kent, New
Castle and Sussex Counties COM
mitteemen of the Farmers Home
Administration was held in Dover
on December Z for the purpose of
discussing the new Farm Housing
Program that is to be administered
by the Farmers Home Administra-
ton.
This instruction conference is one
of a series to be held throughout
the Baltimore State Office area of
the Farmers Home Administration
and was conducted by representa-
tives from the state Office including
E. M. Newton, Jr., state director;
Paul P. BickfOrd, state field repre-
sentative; N. R. Quesenberry, ap-
praiser, and R. E. HOlley, engineer.
In addition to the county COM
mitteemen, those in attendance in
, cluded representatives from the
, Extension Service, Soil COnserva-
. ti0n Service, National Farm Loan
Association, Grange, as we'll as
other interested parties.
The program which was created
by. recent legislation is intended to
furnish a source of financial as
, sistance for eligible applicants to
enable them to construct, repair,
or enlarge dwellings or other farm
buildings. 1t is not competitive
with local financial institutions
since an applicant who is capable
of obtaining the needed financing
from other recognized established
sources at reasonable cost is not
eligible for a Farm Housing loan.
Mr.. Newton, in opening the session,
stressed the fact that the program
was not of competitive. nature
and is intended to bridge the gap
between presently existing sources
OF credit for housing such as are
eligible under the Federal Housing
Administration or local bank loans.
It was also stressed that only farm
owners are eligible for considera-
tion, however, they need not reside
on the farm, since consideration
can be given to loans for the con-
structiOn or improvement of homes
for tenants who may be operating
the farm.
The Farmers Home Administra-
tiOn in Delaware was represented
