our own part we would like to
remind our readers of several
facts inherent in the structure of
the American Council for Juda-
ism, Inc, and in the history of
its leaders
Al no time in the history Of
modern Jewish suffering has Les
sing Rosenwald offered his leader
ship or his monies to alleviate that
suffering Z. I can say what the
U.J.A. cannot say: if the activities
Of the United Jewish Appeal did
not. coincide. with. Rosenwald's
idea of honest organizational eff
fort then he. with his powerful
family name. could easily have
stepped into the leadership and
made his ideas felt .. Instead. by
his own admission. he withheld
his own funds since 1888 until this
date-during those horrible days
when Jews were being extermi-
mated by Hitler -.
It is true that during that period
he served as chairman of the
Committee to Resettle Displaced
Persons During that time he
and his American Council for
Judaism opposed the creation of
the Jewish State They de-
plored the activities of Hitler, and
looked to the rest of the world to
extend their sympathy and ex-
press their moral indignation :.
# I remember correctly. Les
sing Rosenwald and the world
both expressed their moral indig-
nation, but Jews still died. and all
doors remained closed to them +.
And while the Zionists fought to
keep the doors of Palestine open.
Rosenwald met with the commit
tees to resettle refugees Jews
remained displaced. and Lessine
declared that despite the fact thai
the Anglo-American Commission
of Inquiry recommended that
100000 Jews be admitted to Pal
estine. he. the great humanitar-
ian, would consider it illegal i'm
migration. and stood against the
measure 80.
Today the Council for Judaism
says that it recognizes the exist
ence of the State of Israel, yet
they are contributors to the Arab

Only Bare Beginning

only mare btk lnnlnS
This presents an encouraging
picture. and sums up what sounds
almost like a contradiction Of any
statement that we have so-called
race problem" In the United
States. Actually, have merely
described the areas and ways in
which our total problem can be
solved, because what we really
have Is bare beginning. While
the Industries cited-and many
others I have not named, are do
ing a commendsble job of int
grafton, there Is still a vast ma
jority which employ Negroes only
in unskilled work. Whether en-
ployers in this latter category en-
ploy large numbers OF Negroes or
only few, they are still follow
ing discriminatory practices.
Although the ratio OF unem-
ployment among Negroes always
runs higher than among whites
about 8 per cent for Negroes as
against 3 per cent for whites. the
difficulty in our present healthy
economy Is not so much that of
obtaining simple employment. but
that OF obtaining good employ
ment-the same kind which would
be available to n white man Of
similar ability. Like employers,
unions sometimes express liberal
views about non-discrimination in
their memberships which are not
always followed in practice.
In 1850. the average Negro fam
lily earned about 81 ,900--just 81
per cent of the $1,000 earned by
the average white family this,
despite the fact that there is a
proportionately higher percentage
Of Negroes than whites In the
work force A 1850 comparison Of
the average earning for each Ne
gro wage-earner $4,000 with
those OF the average white wage
Garner $4,000 Is even more sig
nificant. Here the earnings of the
Negro drop to so per cent. The
number OF Negroes employed In
agricultural work, and az laborers
and domestics has continued to de-
cline in the past fifteen years,
while the number filling profess
and skilled or semi-skilled factory
Jobs has increased. In some cases,
the percentage has almost doubl-
ed; but the greatest proportion Of
Negro workers can still be found
in mental and low-paying jobs.
Editors Note; The average
wage Of Minnesota Negroes Is
much higher than the national
average. by 1879 ut least.
II is not enough TO be able to
point to the examples of excep-
tional Negroes in specialized
fields as proof that there are no
longer any opportunities closed to
Negroes Difficult as It is for a
brilliant and talented Negro TO
reach his proper level, great abil-
ity coupled with an urge toward a

How To DO The Job.

Each industry which embarks
upon a course Of fair employment
can follow certain general pre-
cepts, but must find its own best
means Of accomplishment. One Of
the most dramatic examples Of an
Indignation process / know Of hap
pened right here in st. Louis dur
ing the war, and perhaps you are
familiar with IL. II was cited in a
book on race relations written by
Malcolm Ross, who had been APP
pointed by President Roosevelt TO
serve as chairman OF the wartime
Committee on Fair Employment
Practice.
The industry concerned was the

Jack Bentley
Continued from Page ~


Sisler. Jack hung up his spikes
II the end of the 1882 season.
Jack had a 40-win, 20-loss
pitching record in the majors
with the Giants. He retired with
a lifetime average of .346, slam
ming out 1904 hits in 3476 times
at bat in 1851 games. He Dashed
80 home runs, tailed 1888 total
bases, and scored 558 times.
After retiring Jack was high
ly successful salesman and public
relations consultant.
At 60 he lives in the old family
home at Sandy Spring surround
ed by 125 acres of ground. The
ground has been owned by a
Bentley since Jacks great-grand-
father, Caleb Bentley, retired
there. Caleb was the silversmith
and clock maker with whom
President James Madison stayed
in Brookeville when the Chief
Executive fled Washington dur.
ing the war of 1872.
Helen Bentley says she's not
interested in baseball but she re-
calls the old days as readily as
Jack. The couple met when Jack
was playing with the Giants and
Helen was studying dancing in
New York. They were married
in 1928.
Christmas Tree Tycoon
Right now the former baseball
star has his eye on his treasure
crop of 5000 Christmas trees and
200 holly trees in the front yard
at Sandy Spring. With the same
excitement he'd exhibit telling
about a memorable home run or
strike out, Jack explains, "You
plant the Christmas trees when
they're two-years-old and you cut
them when they're eight. This
year We'll cut our first group"
Looking back on his baseball
career, and especially on the
struggle he had convincing his
family to let him play, Jack re-
members, Baseball was rough in
those days. We didn't have any
disciplinary managers or college
bred players. Now its changed.
Baseball has developed to the
point where it's no longer a dis
honorable profession"
