gers and technicians. The tasks
which face us in this country are
eminently such as would appeal
to the American genius for tech
nical development and social
progress. But the decision as to
whether they wish to come per-
manently or temporarily rests
with the free discretion of each
American Jew himself. It is en-
tirely a matter of his own Volt
ton. We need Halutzim (Pio-
neers) too. Halutzim have come
to us and we believe more will
come not only from those coun-
tries where the Jews are oppress-
ed but also from countries where
the Jews live a life of freedom
and are equal in status to all
other citizens in their country.
But the essence of Halutzuit is
free choice. They will come from
among those who believe that
their aspirations as human
beings and as Jews can best be
fulfilled by life and work in Is
rael.
Some friends have enquired
from me the exact import of the
term "Ingathering of Exiles."
This historic phrase fr o m our
literature accurately describes
the current phenomenon of Is
rael's life which is the spontane-
Gus and wondrous conveyance
upon Israel of Jews in need of
home and freedom. The phrase
cannot be regarded as implying
that American Jews should re-
gard themselves as deficient in
stability or security or as being
under notice to change their
abode. Our only wish for Ameri-
can JewrY is to see it stable. free
and secure. It is our earnest hope
as indicated before that men and
women will come to US from
American JewrY to assist in the
creative epoch Of our state build
ing. just as men and women from
many lands immigrated to Amer
lea and built a new civilization
on its shores. This. however. can
only be a voluntary process in
spired by a positive idealism
similar to tn I which animated
Americas founders.
"In conclusion I want to reiter-
ate my hope that Israel will con-
tinue to be able to cooperate with
a free and secure American Jew
ry in a cause which has won the
admiration and approval and has
EXCHANGED the dignity and pres
tige of every Jew wherever he
lives"

fully respect the right and inte-
gritty of the Jewish communities
in other countries to develop
their own mode of life and their
indigenous social, economic and
cultural institutions in accord
ance with their own needs and
aspirations. Any weakening of
American Jewry, and disruption
of its communal life, any lower
ing of its sense of security, any
diminution of it's status is def
mite loss to Jews everywhere and
to Israel in particular.
THE very freedom and secur-
itY of American Jews is to US a
guarantee that those of them
who may feel morally impelled
to participate personally and d.
rectlY in the building up of Is
rael will be able to do so. Our
success or failure depends in a
large measure on our cooperation
with and on the strength of the
great Jewish community of the
United States and we. therefore.
are anxious that nothing should
be said or done which could in
the slightest degree undermine
the sense of security and stabil-
itY of American JewrY.

can Jews come and take part in

city administrations are keeping
most Negroes and other minorities
in the segregated areas, rather
than opening up vacant land sites
in outlying white areas. As re-
suit, the pamphlet says, racial ten
sions are growing as housing con-
gesticn becomes greater.
In Chicago, Negro housing is
concentrated far more rigidly than
in southern cities. In the past
decade the Negro population has
scared past 100000, an increase
of close to As per cent as against
6 per cent for whites. The new

ulation, which has grown tremen-

War H., is concentrated in about
eight districts. And though the
need of Detroit Negroes is more
acute, they have been allotted a
smaller proportion of dwellings
than in many southern cities.

NEGRO GRADUATES OF NATIONS
LEADING Law SCHOOL CAN'T
PASS STATE BAR EXAMINATIONS
No State Law School For Negroes
But Graduates OF State University
Practice Without Examination
SEE ONLY HOPE FOR NEGRO
ASPIRANTS IN STATE UNIVERSITY

JACKSON, Miss, April -
(OSN) - Negro graduates of the
law school of some of the leading
Universities of the Nation still
can't pass the Mississippi State
Bar Examination which they must
take before being able to obtain
license to practice law in the state
of Mississippi. This fact was point
ed out as being apparent in the re-
ports of the last examination re-
leased by the State Board of Law
Examiners last week.
According to the report of the
Board, no Negro candidate was able
to pass the last examination, al
though there were four Negro
candidates, one of whom is a grad
uate of Law School of New York
University, one of whom is a cap
tain and an Assistant Judge Ad-
vocate in the Army, the other two
being reported as having complet-
ed courses in Law offered by lead
ing correspondence schools, being
tutored at the same time by a prac-
ticing lawyer of outstanding ex-
perience and ability.
Neither a Negro graduate of
some of the leading Law schools
of the Nation, nor the self educat-
ed applicant have been able to pass
the state bar examination for the
past ten years, although the exc
dus to the north and death has re-
duced to only two the number of
Negro Lawyers now practicing in
3 the state.
The Negro applicants who took
the last examination held during
the month of February were Law
renee c. Jones, Jr. of Piney Woods,
a 1850 graduate of the Law School,
New York University, Capt Jesse
j. Johnson, U. S. Army, of Hatties-
burg, Jack Harvey Young, and
R. Jesse Brown of Jackson.
1t seems apparent from the re-
suits of the examination during
the past ten years that Negro Law
yers are not being encouraged, nor
are they particularly wanted in the
State Of Mississippi, fact which
seems to be born out by one of
the applicants who reports promi-
nent local lawyer, whose name was
withheld, as having said fright now
they don't seem to want any Negro

HOUSING SEGREGATION WORSE
IN CHICAGO and new YORK
Than in SOUTH, SURVEY SHOWS

An on-the-spot check in ten
widely separated cities shows that
racial and national minorities are
