perience."
The pain of a new idea," he
said. lis a very painful thing.
When a new idea comes forward,
an old idea has to give way and
the old idea, whether founded or
unfounded. tested or INFESTED, is
hard to give up.
"Now take the prejudice against
the Negro, for example. Some
whites have never talked to a
Negro, but they often pass re-
marks which slur Negroes in gen.
eral. It's group discrimination.
Judged as individuals
1.-The Negro is guilty of pre-
judice, too. I think, but his prob
ably is on an individual, rather
than group, basis. Most Negroes
apparently have had close con-
tact with at least one white per-
son, SO they tend to Judge men
as individuals"
Lewis said all minority groups
are somewhat alike. He's studied
them in school and in everyday
life.
"Minority-group members don't
want special privileges" he said.
"All they want is a chance to
make progress on the basis of
their individual ability.
81 guess the only way to beat
it is to have men of all races
working together. They don't ne
cessarily have to socialize to-
gether, but by working together
they can understand each other
better. Maybe that way, we all
can give birth to some of those
new ideas"
Lewis will work with both
whites and Negroes in his new
job.
"It seems more providential
than coincidental that my ap-
pointment should come during
National Brotherhood Week." he
said. Lewis is the first Negro
to receive such a job here.

West Berlin Appeals
For ERP Aid, Loans
In Economic Crisis
By the Associated Press

BERLIN, July 30.-West Berlin
appealed today for European Re-
covery Program funds and West
ern German loans to save it from
economic catastrophe.
The city's grave financial plight
was stressed to the Allied COM
mandants in a joint letter from
Lord Mayor Ernst Reuter- and his
two deputies.
These German officials said
West Berlin was "bled white" un-
employment had engulfed 100000
persons. and conditions would get
worse unless aid arrived quickly.
They warned that "a1l the Sue
cesses achieved till now in the bat
tie for Berlin" against COM
munism) were endangered by the
current financial crisis.
On Allied order, the West Ber-
lin government trimmed its budget
this week, approved harsh new
taxes, but was still left with an
official deficit of at least 278,000,-
900 West marks ($83, 3,400,000.
A veteran American official has
said privately that the only way
West Berlin could survive for an
other year would be by a subsidy,
directly or indirectly, from the
United States, of 1,000,0 ZOO, 900
West marks ($300,000,00O
The city never was economically
self sufficient, even in the days of
Fuehrer or Kaiser, but enjoyed
large revenues as capital of a ma
tional government.
West Berlin's trade and manu-
featuring was dangerously para
lyzed by IL months Of Soviet
blockade. East-West strife has
cut off many former Berlin mar
kets in the Russian zone.
