"In the light Of this. 1t will be
difiicult for Congress to continue
to dissapprove moderate increases

added. Even q slight increase
would change the mental out

of life insurance purchased here

years to re-establish the higher

Something than complimentary The Arizona Republic
and Phoenix Gazette seemed agreed that
is SINFUL but they didn't like the way went about ght
ing it. Only trouble was they couldn't to come up
with better way to fight it. So they fell back ON the as
SUMPTION wholly ridiculous assumption as 1t turns out
that only tiny fraction of the resorts in Arizona dis
crimnate and so nothing much to holer about, any
way.
If the papers had the trouble to call for some
facts we'd have glad to steer them into
proof that far than tiny fraction OF resorts IN Ar-
zona discriminate A good solid majority OF them 90 SO,
as established through repeated surveys by the Anti
Defamation League
In point of fact only three of the major resorts IN the
Valley of the Sun discriminate And remember
how Jewish lady in the community called us once TO
ask we could suggest dude ranch where her relatives
from the East could stay We couldn't think OF any, And
so we called friend at the chamber OF commerce-and
he couldn't either Not single dude ranch IN the valley

This, of course, is fairly minor inconvenience Most
of u.s. and relatives from the East live long time
without going Arizona dude ranch But Inconvenience
is not The ISSUE Debby Metz points out in

ticular case though it little Inconvenience still
clearly constitutes defamation of the Jewish name For
the Jews nsulted every time resort writes letter
refusing Jewish reservation for reasons OF religion and
every time it sends out pamphlet advertising Its re-

The World Over

Jews. They actually enlarged the
concept of democracy, and pushed
back the boundaries with which
some would have limited forever
the growing, vibrant American
dream.
And SO must we do today, speak
ing out against bigotry and dis
elimination, not only for our SakeS
but for the sake of all free Ameri-
cans.
How timely was this lesson! Only
week or two later, the Anti-De-
famation League of Bnai Birth
and our own Jewish community re-
lationS committee were moved to
protest the holding of the conven-
ton of the National Association of
Attorneys General at Camelback Inn
because the resort was notorious
for its refusal to accept Jewish
guests.
There were some who felt the
matter should be ignored, that if
we closed our eyes to this flagrant
example of discrimination it would
somehow disappear, that in any
case, few of us could afford to stay
at such a resort and therefore we
need not be concerned about its
practices.
The management of the Inn pro-
vided it's own astounding defense:
This was it's own private affair, a
matter of business policy with
which other business men ought to
realize they must not interfere.
But the fact of the matter is that
it is no ones private affair if he
carries on his business in an un-
American way; and according to
an Arizona Republic editorial,
"Such discrimination is deplorable.
It's un-Christian and undemocrat-
ic." Is it not then our duty to
oppose it?
The fact that this sort of un-
democratic practice is widespread,
as the Republic editorial went on
to claim in defense of Camelback
Inn, is no reason at all to find it
tolerable. On the contrary, we must
work So much harder to root out
the evil, wherever we find it,
whether we as individuals will ever
suffer from it or not!
THIS WE LEARNED from our
Tercentenary celebration to be one
of our most serious responsibilities
under freedom. And we can count
the awareness of this obligation
as one of the great gains made
by our community.
Add to this the friendlineSS and
understanding and unity of pur-
pose which marked our Tercen-
tenary events, and the sum total
is a rich and unforgettable exper-
ience, for which we fully give
thanks.
We begin our fourth century with
humility and gratitude and deep
sense of dedication.

Editor, The News:
I am writing this letter in an at
tempt to express my deepest
thanks to the Jews of America for
the wonderful assistance they have
given to Jews all over the world.
After many long years of torture
that only the Nazis could devise,
and the many years waiting to get
away from that land of terror, 1
finally came to America. 1t is diff
ficult to express my feeling about
the wonderful things the American
Jews have done for me, and how
they have helped me adjust to my
new life.
1 was sent to st. Louis, but due
to bad health was told to come
to Phoenix. came to Rabbi A. l..
Krohn, who treated me as a father
does his child. His warmth and
understanding are beyond my abb
lity to express. Rabbi Krohn di-
rected me to Mr.. HirSh Kaplan,
who treated me as brother, and
whose assistance and encourage
ment 1 will be always indebted to.
Mr.. and Mrs. Morris Sobel
helped me to learn the language,
and to understand the ways of this
wonderful land of America.
Because of the wonderful Ameri-
can Jews, and these four Phoenix
Jews particularly, my faith in hu-
manity has been renewed. I want
