No Jewish Vote

1t becomes necessary at about this time four
years to reassert rum for the benefit of politicians and
anybody else who Interested There such thing as
a "Jewish vote"
The politicians tend to forget this from election to
election In exactly the they tend to forget that
there's no such thing as Catholic vote, Negro vote
a spanish American vote" and so
We minorities-and more specifically-we Jews are
Americans We're Democrats and were Republicans.
We're liberals and conservatives In other words, were
people.
The question then arises: Is it within the limits of
proprety for Jewish leader in official position to urge
upon community the support of specific candidates for
office? We believe not We believe that this implies the
very thing which it is to the benefit of the Jewish
munty to disprovetha there such thing Jewish
VOTE" In that does disservce to all our people
Issues and basic political principles something else
again. Certainly Jewish leaders have fright to urge sup
port such things desegregaton and FEPC and Jew
sh communities have every right turn to unite In defense
of such principles But to go beyond that dangerous
1t will be noted of course that the column adjoining
this editorial contains just such Endorsement of specific
candidates The fact that the column appears on
this page proof that have made attempt to censor
Mr. Kaplan in the expression of his views He speaks,
he himself points out, for himself and nobody else.
But feel he has erred in taking such course. How
ever emphacay he may seek to dsassocate Mr. Kaplan
the citizen and columnst from Mr. Kaplan, the executive
director of the Jewish Community Council the public tends
to consider him as And this feel tends to give
substance the fallacious assumption that there is

Letters to the Editor

Editors Note: The following
letter was written to Irving
Abrams, president of the PhOe-
nix Brandeis Zionist group, by
DIR. Uriel DOron, Israel consul
at Los Angeles.)
Dear Mr.. Abrams:
/ suppose that you will find this
a rather unusual letter. 1t certain
ly is private one. l wish to stress
that l am not addressing myself
to you in my capacity of Consul
of Israel. am turning to a friend,
one who will surely understand.
l am referring to the weekly
publication of the Phoenix Jewish
News, which / always read with a
great deal of pleasure. / consider
it a very remarkable and interest
ingly written paper, which certain
ly conveys to the circle of it's read
ers a very fair idea of develop
ments in Israel.
Especially in the light of the
aforesaid, l was little taken aback
when seeing that the passing of
IsraeTs eminent Minister of FL
nance, and later Deputy Prime
Minister, Eliezer Kaplan, was ac-
corded so little space in the col
umns of The Phoenix Jewish News.
In the July 18 issue his memory
was commemorated, but only with
a few lines in the left-hand corner
of the first page. could not help
asking myself: So little space for
so great a man?
/ always try to be extremely fair
and careful in my criticism. My
first reaction was, therefore, that
the sad news might have reached
the paper in the very last minute,
when it was already laid out and
ready for publication. However, by
studying the matter a little bit
more carefully I found that it ap-
peared five full days after Kap-
lan's death, and l dare suggest
that some of the items which ap-
peared prominently on the front
page could have taken a "back
seat" or been featured in a later
issue, in order to do more justice
to the memory of one of Israeps
most outstanding personalities.
| am most confident that you
will accept these lines in the spirit
they are meant. / do believe that
they will not arouse bitter feelings
or be taken amiss. l considered 1T
advisable to direct your attention
to the fact that all Jewish-or
even some non-Jewish papers
which l have read, have featured
The Phoenix Jewish news., 1952-08-15
those sad news much more prom
inently.

Consul of Israel,
Los Angeles, Calf.

fright the first time, DR.. Doron.
The news of Eliezer Kaplan's death
reached us the day we were going
to press. 1t simply wasn't possible
to do more than squeeze a short
item into page 1, and we had to
do that with a shoehorn. The rea-
son that five days elapsed between
the time of Kaplan's death and the
time when you read it in our paper
is easy to explain, even though we
have to be redundant in explain
ing it: There's a five-day lag be-
tween the day we go to press and
the day on which you receive The
News by mail. But we heartily
agree: Eliezer Kaplan was one of
Israel's truly great men, and we're
sorry the mechanics of publishing
bi-weekly newspaper (monthly
in the summer) precluded our CIV
ing his passing more space. Incl
dentally, if you'll look at page one
of this issue, you'll find another
and related-story, together with
picture.-Ed.)

by the voting of our two Arizona
senators on the McCarran-Wa Walters
Bill, which had to do with codify-
ing immigration laws. Some read
ers might remember that this col
umn carried a story on the ap-
proach that had been made by the
Japanese-American group to the
Jewish community to lend it's eff
forts to influence Sen. Ernest Nc
Farland to permit the bill to come
upon the floor of the Senate for
debate. The organized Jewish COM
munity was reluctant to do this
because the McCarran-Walt bill
contained some of the most dis
criminatory provisions.
In spite of our unwillingness to
contact Mcfarland, it is now OBJ
vious that he was approached by
someone. The bill was released for
debate and passed the Senate. Both
Mcfarland and Sen. Carl Hayden
voted for it.
The President vetoed the bill and
the many members of the Jewish
community = close friends pre-
sumably of both Mcfarland and
Hayden - who wired and wrote to
the senators asking them to up
hold the Presidents veto, were
chagrined to learn that both sena-
tors had voted to override it.
The veto was over-ridden by two
votes 1t is presumed that had the
two Arizona senators voted against
the measure, it would have failed
Thus a piece of legislation that
plainly and obviously discriminates
against Jews. and other minorities
is now the law of the land.
Maybe Senators Hayden and Nc
Farland have good reasons for what
they did. If so, / would like to hear
them and so would a good many
other members of the Jewish COM
munity. Until then, for my money
Hayden and Mcfarland are no bet
ter than McCarran himself.
The delight of the hate-mongers
at the passage of this bill is pain
full to contemplate. Previous to its
passage, a dozen of them or so had
petitioned for it's passage. The Al
Ian Zolls and the Gerald Smiths
regard the passage as a victory.
1T is CONSIDERED very bad
form for a newspaper representing
the Jewish community to sound of
politically. Perhaps it is just as bad
form for me to do so in this col
umn. Nevertheless, since my views
are my own and do not represent
the official views of the Jewish
Community or of The Phoenix Jew

and protection of the people. He is
approachable and has a simple, un-
affected dignity.
Arizona, though not a true
southern" state, has a record for
discriminatory practices which in
many ways is just as bad as the
worst of the states in the deep
South. 1t has been amply demon
strated by the present admins
tration, in words and deeds, that
there will be no change in this pat
tern of discrimination if that
change must originate in the gov
ernor's office. If for no other rea-
son, such a frank avowal from the
incumbent is sufficient cause first
to nominate Sam Head as the DEM
ocratic candidate for governor and
then to elect him with an over
powering majority.

zens do not vote as Jews, that
there is no such thing as a

There are too many of us who feel
that Judge Bernstein has not been

Jewish organizations. But the most

the remaining portion of flour.
Place in a creased bowl in, the
refrigerator for at least four hours
before making into rolls. Cover
with damp cloth or wax paper.
