MIAMI, FLA. = The Defamation League

asked for prompt and full investigation of an
outbreak of cross burning over the past five
months in various parts of Florida. Cross burn

In letter to Attorney General Richard w.
Erwin of Florida, Sanford M. Swerdlin, Florida
State ADJ chairman declared that "cross burnings
are acts of attempted intimidation, rooted in
hatred and intolerance, which may lead to fur
Their violence and disruption"
1.-THE investigation of these acts" the ADJ
added, fought properly to include determination
as to whether they have been inspired and per-
petrated by any organized hate group or groups
The League submitted to the attorney general
the following chronological list of cross burning
incidents that have been reported across the state:
Coral Gables, May PA four-foot cross crudely
constructed of wood set ablaze in front OF
the home of Frederick B. South, assistant professor

There have been theree SER

Soviet Union in the last Is years,
each of which was government
inspired and government-insti-
gated" Mr. Salisbury reported.
''Two of those drives occurred
within the last five years. The
third was a wartime phenomen-
on. "These calculated campaigns
against the Jews. together with
the horrible determinations car
ried out on Russian territory dur
ing World War II by the Germans
have virtually wiped out Jewish
communal and cultural life in
the Soviet Union, where in the
early days of the revolution, it
had received considerable en-
enlargement.

few of the largest cities. In Nos

SEES NO REVIVAL of JEWISH
TRADITIONS and CULTURE
However, as far as Jewish re-
ligion and Jewish culture is con-
cerned, the present government
benign policy toward Jews comes
almost too Late" Mr.. Salisbury
reported. ''There is little left to
preserve. The Jews have been
too widely scattered and too
harshly prosecuted, simply be-
cause of the fact that they are
Jews, to make any early revival
of either custom or religion like

The first recent nti-Semitic
outbreak in the Soviet Union took
place shortly after the beginning
of World War II. Mr.. Salisbury
noted. lis most spectacular man
Hesitation was the circulation in
Moscow of rumors that the Jews
are deserving Moscow" It was
said that rich Jews had bought
places on the evacuation trains
and fled to the East.
The truth was that the gov
eminent itself had evacuated a
number of rich Jews'-artists,
singers and writers-in a general
organized movement of certain
classes of intelligentsia," the N. Y.
Times correspondent stated. "The
rumors actually had been started
by the government in order to
divert the resentment of the vast
majority of Muscovites, who were
being left behind. Possibly to the
surprise of the government, the
anti-Semitic reports snowballed
to such an extent that many de-

charge all Jews from their stats.

PLAIN TALK
DEATH OF A WAITER
BY ALFRED SECAL


There was a big Jewish funeral
in cur town the other week or so.
Il was Jewish in the ritual but
the hundreds who were there
were Catholic. Protestant. agnos-
tic. as well as Jewish. It had to do
with a great gentleman who was
of the walters union.
He had gone serving far beyond
hotel and tavern tables; had
troubled himself about the way
lot of people have to live as
they scrape along by the week
to make ends meet in their house
holds; he had carried banners,
you might say, toward a better
way of life for all people.
BY these ways Hugo Ernst ex-
pressed himself out of our Torah.
He was the international presi-
dent of the union of walters. hotel
workers and bartenders. But in
this position he was not just
president sitting IN grand author
itY at a desk. Hugo Ernst's idea
seemed TO be that from this eleva-
tioh he could speak out as a sort
Of prophet in todaY's world.
I do not know how exactly
Jewish Hugo Ernst was in ritual
affiliation, but I could feel he
was Jewish enough in the sense of
what's said in Leviticus about
loving the neighbor' as ones self,
in the sense of the prophet who
told us that justice and mercy
are of the divine essence, in the
sense of the other prophet who
told us we are brothers under
one Father.
So I could respect Hugo Ernst
as a dedicated Jew. regardless OF
any formal affiliation he may or
may not have had. He had his
international office in our town
and I used to see him oiten along
our downtown streets: his snow
white hair a-fiutter. for he never
wore a hat. A most dignified gen.
tleraan--dignitY was cf his char
acter-even when he was publicly
wearing a flowerY shirt of the
Hawaiian pattern. He had died at
age 70.
The official, journal OF the in
ternational union of walters, no.
tel workers and bartenders was
practically all about Hugo Ernst
in the month of his death. Its
managing editor, Mr.. Fred Sweet,
had written of him: 'Hugo Ernst
was born in Varazadin, small
town in the hills of Croatia. He
was the second of the village
rabbits sons. Rabbi Ignatz Ernst,
a scholarly figure and wise one,
insisted that the boys be educated
for the professions. Hugo made
plans for a career in journalism"
That was the time when Croat-
ia was of the empire Of Austria
and of the Emperor Franz josef.
and young men like Hugo Ernst
were FESTIVE for freedom. Young
Hugo's ideals went farther than
a goal of political independence
the land must be not only polifi-
cally free but also socially just;
the humblest would have his due
of gainful work and contented
living. To-day that's called social
jusiieell

been the case before.
A band practicing on q fat
roof played military marches
that sounded European, but
ended in Oriental f1ourishes. The
rhythm was invigorating and
the drums and tapping of sticks
could be heard all over town,
but the melody was elusive.
It suddenly struck me some
sort Of festival was in the offing.
Then I came to a high new
building draped in red lanterns
and banners. The scaffolding
was being removed though plate
glass windows were already illu-
minated to display articles in
side. It was a department store
built by the state to serve, so
a government official later said,
some 100000 people daily.
"Tomorrow's the fifth ami
versary Of the revolution" he
said. "Our workers exceeded
their production schedules by
200 per cent to finish it in time"
Their owners will be parad-
ing tomorrow" said my compan-
ion. as If this were proof enough
Of their enthusiasm for the new
competitor.
Neighborhoods Organized.
There was little doubt they
would parade, of course. The
authorities have, organized people
down to small neighborhood units
Of four or five families each,
partly to carry out sanitary
measures, but also to ensure
supervision Of thought and ac-
ton.
In more modern countries this
is an invasion of personal free
dom, but I was later persuaded
most Chinese nowadays fall in
with the scheme happily enough.
Most opposition has been elimi-
mated and New China's govern
ment has spoken of 2 million
people executed to achieve that
result. This, too. might have
something to do with subsequent
cooperation.
There was little traffic, but
each intersection had traffic
