JEWISH WORLD
WRITER LOOKS AT
FACE OF EAcISM
BY PHINEAs BIRoN In the
American Jewish World

NEW YORK We met facism
face TO face. . 1t Ii an ugly ex-
perience. We hope that you and
your children viii be spared this
nightmare. ;. On Sunday after
noon, Sept. 4. American democra-
cy was to be reaffirmed. The
police authorities Of westchester
county and q contingent Of state
police had been given instructions
TO protect the men, women and
children who had made their way
to Hollow Brook Golf club to lis
ten TO q Paul Robson concert. .
The same concert that hoodlums
prevented from taking place the
previous week In the vicinity of
Peekskin. so we went there In
company of many thousands of
Jews. Negroes and . good num-
Der Of white Christians.
It was . sunny afternoon and
the old golf club filled rapidly. 9.
There seemed to be order and
peace although the approaches to
the concert ground were taken up
by veteran groups and nondescript
young men and women shouting
insults a. we passed. But the
police seemed to have the situa-
ton under control. They formed
a human fence which prevented
the would-be rioters from repeat
ing their onslaught Of q week ago
-. On the concert grounds itself,
q wen-disciplined group Of Robe
son supporters had organized q
Self-defense corps Of sturdy young
men who formed an immovable
barricade around the audience. =.
Their faces were turned toward
the insulting shouts on the out
side and their serious expression
on their faces clearly said: They
shall not pass. And they did
not pass.
But once the concert was over
the picture suddenly changed. .
Some state policemen encircIed
the Robson defense corps while
others hurried the public into
their buses, directing them TO the
state road, which was lined by
the men and women, who were
eager to teach the commies and
hikes Q lesson" . 1t IL on that
road that we saw the face of
American facism. Men wearing
veteran caps hurting huge stones
through the windows Of the buses
while the state troopers forced
the buses to slow down TO make
them an easier target. A man
Of forty came close to the bus In
which we sat, smashed the win
dow glass with q rock and club
bed . young woman over the
head, splitting into her face, You
lousy Jew, you Niger lover. Go
back TO Moscow"
The behavior Of the state police
gave to this nightmarish picture
the real fAcist-Nazi colortng q.
These men who. according 10
Governor Dewey, has been as
signed 10 maintain law and order,
had q wonderful time. They en-
couraged the ''pogrom-chiclls, {"
they laughed out loud when the
rocks hit q bus, they tipped off
the rowdies when q new line of
buses approached. One fat, Jov-
ial state trooper yelled out strike
one" when q rock hit Q little girl
Of 10. We don't know whether
Governor Dewey or the u. 8. At
torney General win make any real
efforts TO punish the uniformed
hoodlums who made the first not
look like q meek rehearsal In
comparison with the wholesale
pogrom Of the Labor Day week
end. We know. however. that
unless drastic punishment 10 dealt
out the ugly face Of westchester
faciSm win raise IT, head again
In the future.

Consultation on japan
by the Assoeioted Press

Russian Ambassador Panyushkin
today charged the United States
with evading the 11-nation Far
Eastern Commission in ordering new
measures for building up the Jap

Mr.. Panyushkin termed the recov-
cry measures in direct contradic-

The Soviet envoy called upon the
commission to adopt its own de-
cision' on ways to assist Japan's
recovery. Mr.. Panyushkin voiced
his criticism in a statement sub
mitted to the commission at its
weekly closed-door meeting. He
later made public the statement 4.

economy were issued last month as
a directive to Gen. Douglas Mac
Arthur, the supreme Allied COM
mander. A copy of the order later

Mr.. Panyushkin called this pro-
cedure "inadmisslble" because he
said it made fundamental changes"

The shift, as outlined in a bill by
