the war have helped restore faith
and courage to the hopeless VIC
Tins of Hitler's prosecutions
Thanks to the Joint Distribution
Committee and related agencies,

today, they don't go broken from
their experiences in concentration

NEW YORK, (JTA)-President
Truman did more than any other
man to combat prejudice during
1948, is was announced this week
by the Irving Geist Foundation
Awards Committee, set up by the
Foundation and the Newspaper
Guild of New York to select news
material that made an outstand-

derstanding or combatted racial,

Herbert Bayard Swope, Lewis

Ivan and A. H. Raskin, judges
for the Awards, held that the Re-
port of the Committee on Civil
Rights, originated by the Presi-

the year.

would not intervene to the ex-
tent of actual invasion of Israel.
They're too CLEVER" he said.
"They know that if war starts in
one corner of the world, it spreads

your dollars. They can't allow
themselves to preach United Ma

other, invade us.

Just Like Dunkirk
Bevin, said the young Israeli
officer, doesn't realize that we
are ready to do for ourselves what
Britain did at Dunkirk. He doesn't
realize that we are ready to de-
fend our democracy and our free

brought up to think that the Jew
is looking only for his pocket.
"Six Arab armies invaded us

sslred the Nations educators To-
day 1t doesn't intend 70 censor

cemic freedom.
The assurances we're distributed
by letter. They were intended 70
quiet some OF the faroge that
broke out among schools and col

itself-over q request for lists OF
textbooks.
All the committee Is trying 70
do. the letter said. Is check up
on serious allegation" made

city Boards of Education and 70
something over TO colleges and
universities. picked at random.
asking for:
"A list OF textbooks and supple
mentary reading. together with
authors. which are being used by
your institution in the fields OF

government. philosophy. history
political science and American lit
erature."

ber of college presidents. Some

upon your school or any person
connected herewith"

ciais had said 1t would be impossi-
BILE to list thousands OF books In

amend the initial letter" to omit
the request for supplemental ma
terial. and ask only for the title
and author of the principal"
textbooks used in the courses.
Some statements. the second
letter said. "also contend that the
committee is interfering with
academic freedom and that the
committee objects to the teaching
Of the principles of Karl Marx and
other founders OF Communism.
"As q matter of fact, the COM

ism in a last effort to smother
the real facts and real issues
which this bill is designed to meet.
These attempts to mislead and
frighten the people and their rep
resentatives in Congress-these
false claims designed to prejudice
some groups of the people against
others-these malicious and will
full appeals to ignorance and sell
fishness-are examples of selfish
propaganda at its worst"
AS q matter of fact. Mr.. Tru-
man said. passage Of the bill would
prove of real benefit to those
real estate interests that now op-
pose its enactment"
Other Arguments Answered.
In his letter. Mr.. Truman took
up what he called nine arguments
Of the lobby" against the bill.
The eight in addition to the over
all cost were:
/. The lobby claims that each
rent public housing unit will
cost more than $4,000. The
President said the facts are the
average cost of 1,050, 900 dwelling
units will be at the most $8.065.
2. The lobby claims there is no
longer any pretense that public
housing is for the poor" The
facts are. Mr.. Truman said. the
bill requires local public housing
authorities to give preference for
admission to public housing prof.
eets to low-income families having
the most urgent housing needs
Furthermore. the bill requires To-
cal authorities to establish upper
income limits for admission.
8. The lobby claims that pub
lie housing will not be used tc
clear slums, but will be built In
areas where 1t can compete with
private housing" This claim.
the President said. is an excellent
example of distortion Of facts to
confuse the people" The bill. he
added. insures that public hous-
| ing will not compete with decent
private housing. no matter where
lit is built. tit will, Of course,
compete with slum housing-that
is its purpose"
4, The lobby claims that "the
wishes Of o local community will
not be consulted but Government
housing viii be imposed" Mr..
Truman replied: Nothing could
be further from the truth. No
slum clearance or public housing
project can be initiated under the
bill by any one but q local agency,
Established under State and local
law by the people Of the local
community"
s. The lobby last year 'cried
Evening star., 1949-06-18

that we should not construct new
public housing projects because
private builders were building
everything that was needed" but
this year Is arguing that I'VE
should not construct public hous-
ing projects on the claim that
there is no longer any need for
them" The President said both
claims are "fallacious." He added
that neither last year nor this
year have private builders been
producing houses to meet the
needs of low income families.
6. The lobby even attempts to
TWIST the local tax features" of
the bill into an argument against
1t. The President said that from
the beginning of public housing.
local governments have been re-
quired to contribute on amount
equal to 20 per cent of the Fed
eral contributions. He said cities
and town uniformly have chosen
to make this contribution In the
form of exemptions from real and
personal property taxes. and the
bill simply writes this practice
into law unless the locality is
legally barred from doing so. In
which case the local contribution
may be made in cash. ," 80
7. The lobby claims that to pro-
vide adequate housing for low
income groups win encourage
Incidence and shiftlessness and
destroy thrift and initiative" The
President retorted:
This is the hoary old chestnut
that has been used as an argument
against proposals to advance the
public welfare ever since the Ma
ton was founded. - The plain
fact is that thrift, industry and
initiative are encouraged. not dis
couraged. by clean and decent
housing"
8. The lobby claims the bill Is
"socialistic." The President said
If this argument is intended seri-
ously. ''it is false" He said the
measure will strengthen. not

Ethridge Proposes
CooIing-0f Period
For Palestine Talks
by the Assoeiofsd Press

A two-month cooling of period
for the deadlocked Arab-Jewish
peace conference has been sug-
gested by the American repre-
sentative on the Palestine Con-
ciliation Commission.
Mark Ethridge. who has Just re-
turned from Lausanne, Switzer-
land. where the peace talks have
been going on since December,
said that's just his personal feel
ing" and added:
Its a real stalemate now"
Government officials represent
ing Israel, Trans-Jordan, Egypt.
Lebanon and Syria have been
working for six months on a peace
treaty putting to a formal end
their war over the Holy Land.
Refugees Cause Deadlock.
Mr.. Ethridge said the talks are
deadlocked over the refugee queS-
ton. An estimated SOC, 600 refu-
gees from the Holy Land fighting
zones are living in adjoining Arab
states and In the Arab part OF
Palestine.
The Arab nations have an
nounced they will not discuss
peace until Israel permits the ref
ugees to return to their homes as
the United Nations has ruled.
Israel has refused to make any
commitments except in connection
with the final peace treaties still
to be written.
Mr.. Ethridge said he believes
the next move Is up to the Israel
government.
He said he thinks the Jewish
and Arab peace delegates should
return home for new instructions
and reconvene a few weeks before
the United Nations Assembly
meets in New York in September.
However, he added that nobody
else has embraced his idea yet.
Mr.. Ethridge has resigned from
the peace commission to return to
his post as publisher Of the Louis
vile Courier Journal and Louis
vile Times.
IsraeIis Visit Webb.
Earlier yesterday, Top Israeli
diplomats met with Undersecre-
tary Of State Webb for two hours
to discuss the whole range of
Americah-Jewish problems. One
was the refugee situation.
Aubrey Eban, Israeli delegate to
the United Nations, said the talk
was full. frank and friendly" but
he would not be more specific.
Several weeks ago the American
Government sent what the State
Department considered a tough"
note about refugees to Israel. The
Israeli government responded with
a "conciliatory" note which did
not. however. meet the points the
American note made.
