Nv PHILIP M. KLUTZNICK
President Of B'nai Birth

These indeed are times that
strain the qualities of leadership.
Within our lifetime we have
seen our nation grow into one of
the greatest world powers in the
history of mankind. Upon our
country and our government has
fallen the mantle of international
leadership, at least among the
free peoples. We have developed
the inventive genius and the pro-
ductive abundance either to de-
stroy the world in a holocaust Of
flame or to provide man with the
good things of life. The free
world looks to us for the decisions
that will mean peace or war in
Indoehina just as it has looked
to us in recent months for the
decisions that determine the flu
ture of Germany, the fate OF
Korea, the control of Trieste, and
the balance of power in Italy.

The Challenge Of
Leadership

The economic unity and military
defense of Europe rests in large
measure in our hands no less than
peace and security for the team
ing millions of Southeast Asia.
Leadership in such times as
these is a heavy responsibility
and calls for men of great
strength in body, and soul. Our
country needs clear thinking men
who act in the spirit of the Amer
lean tradition and according to
soundly constructed policies.
There are such men of deep sim
cerity and devotion to principle
at the helm of our government,
men who are willing to make
sacrifices for the ideas they be-
lieve in. They are men who think
and act without fear,> men who
in their positions of responsibility
uphold the system Of law and
constitutional procedure that we
have developed through the cen
turtles. Their perspective ranges

Patience Is Advised
On Hurricane Claims

The president of an insurance
association advised patience to-
day for those persons awaiting
claims settlements from the re-
cent hurricane.
j. Douglass Wallop, jr., presi-
dent of the District Association
of Insurance Agents, said it was
now estimated that between
$4,000 and $4,000 claims must
be processed in this area as q
result of Hurricane Hazel's dam
age.
These figures include Mont
gomery, Prince Georges, Calvert,
Charles and st. Mary's counties,
Md. and Arlington, Fairfax,
Loudoun and Prince William
counties, Va.
Mr.. Wallop said the problem
of settling claims was intensified
by the fact that Hazel's fore
runners, Carol and Edna, had
also created a backlog of cases
in New England. When Hazel
came along, 1t strained the ad-
justment manpower to the limit.
Mr.. Wallop said it will take a
while, but everybody's claims will
be settled in time.

method of control is recommended.
Use fcrbam on captain alone (two

The National Capital Housing
Authority effected a major ad-
vance by ending segregation in
all public housing projects.
Voluntary Associations
Condemnation Of segregation by
national religious bodies has not
yet been needed by many indIvid-
ual congregations. Steps toward
Indignation by Roman Catholic
churches In North Carolina and
New Orleans and by Protestant
churches In some Northern cities
remained sufficiently unusual to
be Noteworthy" Segregation was
still the general rule In churches
throughout the nation.
Progress was noted in some pro-
fessional associations. By 1853.
Negroes had been admitted to 27
state and county medical associa-
tons In Southern and border
states. including the District OF
Columbia, Arkansas. Delaware,
Florida. Georgia, Missouri and Ok
lahoma state associations in
South Carolina, Texas and vir-
ginia dropped their color bars In

In 1853, 8 Of the 10 major lea
que baseball clubs included Me-
groes on their rosters. but the
World Champion Yankees had still
not found the way to taking this
step. The use of Negroes on
teams In the South continued to
grow. with Virginia being added to
the list OF states supporting inter
racial teams.
Group Defamation
Organized group defamation
was at a low ebb In 1853. Existing
organizations. poorly organized
and with a small following, were
attempting TO improve their for
tunes by turning to other objec-
tives. such as the United Nations
and the public schools.
The fact that the hate groups
themselves had no influential fol-
lowing did not mean that racism
and outright expression Of its ten
cts had no influence in important
places. Debates on immigration
legislation In the us. Congress
again revealed the hold that Hit
ler-like doctrines have in that i'm
portant body. The bill to grant
statehood TO Hawaii brought out
similar expressions.
Media Of Mass Communication
During 1853, an encouraging
number of articles dealing realis-
tically and alphabetically with
advances toward equality and the
problem areas were published in
magazines OF mass circulation.
