What Your Money Is Doing

You NAV not have realized it, but you were watching
your United Jewish Welfare at work right here IN
the community week ago. That was when the
Arizona legislature passed permissive school, desegre
cation law.
The Greater Phoenix Council for Civic Unity, which
derives small part of it's financial support from the
UJWF was instrumental to large extent In the enact
ment of that legislation Working in concert with two
Negro members of the lower house and other
parties Civic Unity leaders worked trelessy against
heavy odds to put the bill And it milestone in
ArizOnas progress toward true democracy and human
rights.
It should be noted in passing that the t-Defamation
League of Bnai Birth also helps to support the Civic
Unity Council
The passage of the law all the more remark
able for fact that took first place with the almost
unanimous vote of extremely conservative legislature
Further it should be remembered that Arzonas political
and sociological climate is quasi-Southern. Perhaps
have set some of example for the states of the deep
South.
In any event. see here demonstrated the manner
in which our Observation-Disclosures modest-wOrks to
foster democracy and advance minority rights And when
that happens we Jews must inevitably derive benefit
for ourselves.

monic Orchestra whose music had
thrilled US, and to the dynamic
conductor who had dramatized
their music for us.
1t was a concert that made
memories. The significantly juxta-
posed national anthems of the
United States and Israel, which
brought tears to many sophisti-
Gated eye; the masterly reading
of the Haydn symphony, the color
full Chavez, the altogether haunt
ingly beautiful Brahms so mag
nificently interpreted, the brilliant
''Emek," which set in a dazzling
arrangement the gems of folk mel
odies which are already a part of
Israel's musical heritage - these
we sshall never forget as long as
we live.
And how joyously we shall re-
member the artistry of Leonard
Bernstein, who with his every ges-
ture made the music come alive,
and translated it into a language
we could understand!
Nor shall we ever forget the
wonderful men and women whose
remarkable musicianship make the
Israel Philharmonic without ques-
ton one of the greatest orchestras
in the world.
They were artists first, but they
I were also brothers from Israel
They brought us music, but they
brought US, too, a glimpse of the
life and heart of Israel. Many OF
them were veterans of the War OF
independence. All of them had ex-
perienced the most inspiring and
the most trying moments which
life in a new state can offer
They were, not surprisingly at all
warm-hearted, sensitive, highly-in-
telligent, well-spoken and sincere
and all were full of praise fol
Phoenix, which gave them the
warmest of welcomes and remind
ed them so much of home.

One could not help wondering,
in the richness and joy of that
memorable evening, why it had
been necessary to persuade people
that this would be concert t
worthy of their attendance. One
could not help regretting that so
many members of the Jewish COM
munity missed this deeply moving
occasion, the like of which they
might never again have the op-
portunity to experience.
For those who were there-and
far more than half of them were
non-Jews-it was one of the fin
est concerts of this or any season,
past, present or future. But it was
more than musical achievement.
1t was one of the great moments
of life-an event so emotionally
satisfying, so deeply stirring, that
none who experienced it will ever
forget it.
A RABBI AND HIS PEOPLE
Has anyone ever taken time
off during Brotherhood Week to
explain to the lie ders of the
American Council for Judaism that
Jews are their brothers, too?
In a recent issue of Religion
in Life" the Methodist quarterly,
Rabbi Elmer Berger, executive di-
rector of the Council for Judaism,
had some harsh words to say about
his fellow American Jews who be-
lieve in Zionism.
JEWS h nationalism, he wrote
(referring to Zionism, we pre-
sume), ''is as mechanistic as Marx
ism. The one is founded on the
thesis of economic determination.
The other rests on the thesis OF
economic determinism."
Now ours is not to question
Rabbi Berger's terminology, nor to
ask what the whole mess of words
means anyhow. So long as he as
sociates Zionism with Marxism, his
Christian readers will be made
aware of the menace of Zionism
against which he and his little
group of Americans of the JudaiC
persuasion have heretofore fought
a lone battle.
At any rate, he has provided 9
few good quotes for the Gerald

Smiths and the McCarthys Of
America, and what more patriotic
deed could he perform?
AS for the true C h r is tia ms
among his readers, it Is, doubtful
if they will join his crusade. They
are making an honest effort to
live at peace with their neighborS,
in a nation built on brotherly love
and mutual respect ! commend
their attempt at living brotherhood
to the unhappy Rabbi Berger.
ONLY 80 DAYS TO GO . /.
In a world in which the oeiebra-
tion of Christmas begins the week
before Thanksgiving, we must be
ever on the l ert for coming
events.
The time to start planning. for
Passover is now, before. our Purim

Having a Seder?. Better plan
the guest list now. Changing dish

Root Of the Matter

pearls without price.
THE SECOND important lesson
of the campaign is that although
the Welfare Fund supports causes
dear to the hearts of certain local
organizations, members of these
organizations do not held the We'll
fare Fund dear.
The third lesson of the cam
paign is that there are altogether
too many Embarrassing efforts in
the Jewish community. There was
a time when the phrase, "One Uni
fled Campaign" meant just that.
Unfortunately it has been discov-
cred by fund-seeking groups that
there are people in the community
who are perfectly willing to con-
tribute to anything that comes
along regardless of its Importance
or relevancy The wonder to me
is that the business men of the
community have stood for it and
encourage it.
By far the most important les
son of the campaign is that the
Jewish people of Phoenix are gen.
erous and willing to contribute,
but they insist on being seen per-
sonally for their contributions.
ANOTHER OBJECT lesson in
the inadequacy of facilities at the
disposal of the community is the
recent withdrawal of the small
group of Quakers who had been
using Center space to hold their
meetings on Sunday mornings.
Of course, the Center does not
exist for the purpose of supplying
facilities to non-Jewish groups.
However, it had been matter of
pride for the Center to give the
facilities to the Quakers for their
prayer service as a small repay
ment for the vital work done by
the Quakers for suffering Jewry
overseas at a time when no Jewish
group could do that work, especi-
ally in Germany.

are more precious LHaH JEWELS.
The advance phase of the CAM
paign comprising solicitations of
the so-called larger givers was en-
trusted to two groups of workers.
In the mems division there were
IL parlor meeting hosts and 35
Metro workers drawn from a few
of the mems organizations. In the
women's divisions there were IL
individual workers and about so
organizational workers. These
people have been responsible for
the bulk of contributions received.
The parlor hosts among the men
have done a magnificent job. For
the most part their work is almost
completed, although there remain
about so prospects representing
about $4,000 still to be seen. The
Metro organizational workers also
include people who have applied
such devotion and effort to their
assignments that their accomplish
ments have been outstanding in
Phoenix campaign history.
But not all the Metro workers
have done their job. No doubt
there are some who have had good
reasons for postponing solicita-
tions to the point where their as.
signments now have to be turned
over to someone else.
For whatever reason, there re-
mains a large number of Metro
prospects still to be seen, repre-
senting more than $500 in pre-
vious pledges. Yes, good, willing,
conscientious workers are like

that it takes great projects to

ic and effective community, and
that Israel is in a position to give
as well as receive. In an en-

Robinson Cited AS

FRANKFURT, GERMANY -
UNS) = Worlds Welterweight
Champion Sugar Ray Robinson
knocked out Former German Mid
dleweight Champ Hans Stretz in
the fifth round of their scheduled
ten rounder at Frankfurt Monday
night to finish off a six bout
sween of his European tour.
Smashing his opponent at will,
Robinson treated a crowd Of 1900
to a display of the boxing master
work that has led him to be ac-
claimed the bes, fighter pound for
pound, in the game today.
Sugar Ray had Stretz on the
canvas six times before the knock
out came. A Robinson right hand
knocked the German off his feet
after only 80 seconds of the first
round, and not even Stretz, close
defense could stop Sugar Rays
murderous series of left and right
hands thereafter.
The bout marked the first time
a worlds champion has appeared
in a German ring. When he was
heavyweight h m ion, Max
Schemeling never fought in his

Baseball School
To Get Underway
On March First

Jackson, Miss. - The second
annual Delta Negro Baseball
School will officially get under
way here in the capitol of Missis-
sippi beginning March 1, 1851 the
same date the Major Leaguers open
their training headquarters.
The school the first of it's kind
in the nation was originated by
Homer (Goose) Curry, popular
pilot Of the Memphis Red Sox, of
he Negro American League, and
Matty Brescia, head of Matty Bres-
STA Enterprises, Memphis Publicity
office. The school was inaugurated
last year in Greenville, Miss, with
more than 55 students attending
the session.
Curry, who led the Red Sox to
their first Negro American League
championship in the Western Divis-
ION in more than 10 years, will
once again supervise the schools
activities, while Brescial will direct
me publicity and promotional de-
partments.
Jackson, Miss, was selected as
The site of the 1851 DNS by Brescia
and Curry last week in a confer
ence held here with Mr.. and Mrs.
Leonard Henderson, prominent
Negro Leader of this community.
The Hendersons own and operate
the Jackson Cubs, an independent
Negro aggregation in this section.
The school session here will be
conducted at Brown Stadium, nam
ed in honor of Mr.. Burr Brown,
the Father of Mrs. Henderson. The
Negro ball park is ranked as one
! of the most up-to-date baseball es-
adjustments in this part of the
| country and is also owned and sup
ervised by the Hendersons. Leon
Henderson, who will serve as Cur
rvs school assistant, formerly
pastime is the now defunct Negro
National League, where he was
hailed as one Of the top clutch"
hitters of that era. He flashed a
1884 batting mark and raped out
AZ home runs during the 1850 cam
paign for his best year in baseball.

recognized him as titlist by club
bing the pathetic combacker, Joe
Louis, last September.
1t was this showing, more than
anything else, that gained Charles
the top run in the 1850 rankings
copyrighted by Nat Fleischer, Edi-
tor of the Ring.
! At the same time, Fleischer
named Ray Robinson, the weller
weight champion as the best all
round fighter in any division and
Vic Towel, Worlds Bantamweight
! Champion from South Africa as
Progress of the Year" winner,
within one year Of the start of his
professional career, Towel nailed
down world title.
Actually, the top weight divi-
sions in Fleischer's rankings under
went little change among the lead
ers from a year ago.
Charles was rated the best
heavyweight both years. In 1919
Joe Walcott was rated runner up
and in 1850 it is Joe Louis.
Champion Joe Maxim and Archie
Moore were rated one-two among
the light heavyweights both in
1949 and 1850, and champion Jake
La Motta and Robinson were rated
in that order last year and again
this year among the middleweights.
Robinson, of course, prevails as
the top welterweight. In 1949, Kid
Gavilan was rated the logical con-
tender; in 1850 it is Eddie Thomas.
Among the lightweights, Ike
the Champion, retained his number
one bling, with Thomas the run
ner up, as opposed to Arthur King

that he was the first person to pro-
duce translucent porcelain from
Alabama Clay. Hathaway is also
the first Negro to serve on facul-
ly of white University in the
deep South, Alabama Polytechnic
Institute. This is as outstanding as
the fact that he was invited to a
tea and Art exhibition held in the
University of Alabama. Mr.. and
Mrs. Hathaway both attended the
ca and were treated with the Ut
most courtesy.
A special hobby of Mr.. Hathaway
is taking and preserving Masks Of

Lose Appeal To U.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Jan. g.
(DSN)-The "Martinsville seven,"
seven young Negro men who have
been convicted and sentenced to
death for the rape of a Virginia
white woman lost their second APP
peal to the Nations highest court
here Tuesday.
The seven men were first SEN
fenced to die in January, 1919,
and again in May, 1949, and both
convictions were upheld by the
Virginia Supreme Court.
The execution of the condemned
men scheduled to die in August
was stayed by Gov. Battle pend
ing the action of the U. S. Su-
preme Court.
A new date for the execution
must now be set by the state.
