from a Hebrew root meaning to

the bundle was called 'Omer."
From the day the sheaf was

wheat harvest and the time of

called the days of Counting the

Written by Arnold Forster,
ADJ National Director of Civil
Rights, and we'll known to Flori-
dams, "A Measure of Freedom"
appeared in book form, published
by Doubleday, on April 10. A five
thousand word condensation of
the book by Mr.. Foster is fea-
ture of the April II issue of Look
Magazine.
The latest in the now famous
series of national public reports
on bigotry in the United States
prepared by the Authorization
League. "A Measure of Freedom"
has already aroused widespread
interest and enthusiastic acclaim
from those who have seen the
advance copies.
What are the danger signs to
democracy and healthy group re-
lations as reflected in this dyna-
mite packed first hand report?
Organized bigotry in post war
America still reaches proportions
of big business, the book reveals.
The 81 hate groups currently en-
gagged in anti-Semitic activity
and the 40 regularly issued anti
Semitic newspapers and periodi-
cals-are described and evaluated
to give every American a true
understanding of their impact on
our nation.
In a chapter devoted to 'Pa-
irons of Patriotism" the book
undertakes a surgical analysis of
five leaders of professional pa
triotism." It reveals motives, I'M
covers and exposes the facts
about finances, names, support
ers, and detail propaganda tech
niques of the "Unholy Five"-
Gerald L. K. Smith, Merwin K.
Hart, Joseph P. Kamu, Upton
Close, and Allen Zoll. Their COM
bined incomes in 1949 approach
ed a half million dollars, the
ADJ study shows.
The second phase of "A Mea-
sure of Freedom" reports on the
extent of bias and discrimination
towards Jews-and other minori-
ties-in the economic, political
and social life of America. The
fate of Jews in such areas as
employment and housing is dis
cussed in a chapter devoted to
The Southern Jewish weekly. [volume] (Jacksonville, Fla.) 1939-1992, 1950-04-14

legislation enacted during 1949.
Discrimination in education is
the subject of a lengthy, heavily
researched presentation for which
the League sought out the facts
from every liberal arts college in
the United States. One of the
ADDS current major campaigns
is it's "Crack The Quota" drive
to eliminate discrimination in the
admissions of students to colleges
and universities. For that pur-
pose, "a Measure of Freedom"
goes into great detail to reveal
and explain the hidden pressures
and subtle techniques that are in
force as barriers against qualified
Jewish youth who want to 60 to
college.
In a special research poll in
vestigating the social attitudes of
college students the League made
some interesting discoveries
which are described in the book.
For one thing, college students
are much less prejudiced than
the general American population
although college graduates
many years advanced from the
campus are more biased than

QUESTION:: Does this date have
any religious significance?
: ANSWER: Yes. Last year the
Chief Rabbinate of Israel attached
the first religious significance to
that date when it was officially
announced that marriages-gener-
ally prohibited between Passover
and Shavuoth, with the exception
of a very few days-would be al
lowed on this day. The American
Rabbinate generally follows this
edict. Thus the date assumes a
degree of importance similar to

No other county office has done
this.
my office has never asked for
an emergency appropriation; has
never exceeded its budget, and has
even consistently returned an un-
expended balance to the County
Treasurer at the end of the fiscal
year."
Brill said that during his admin
istration, TIE Coroner's office has
also instituted photography and
fingerprint department for identi-
fication purposes and to aid and

Each and everyone of us can

way to find early tuberculosis and
the sooner tuberculosis is discov-
cred, the sooner treatment can be-

said in explaining that tubercu-
losis is contagious disease,

persons.
But unfortunately some people
with tuberculosis do not know
why they are sick, Mrs. Duwe
said. Tuberculosis doesn't give
any warning signals when it
first attacks and there are no
symptoms in the early stages of
the disease. That is why every
one should have a chest X-ray
yearly.
Each person x-rayed will re-
ceive confidential report of the
findings within three weeks after
the x-ray is taken. The minia-
ture x-rays are called screening
films" because they screen out
persons whose chests show alb
normal shadows. If shadows sus-
