Offer Advice
Thad Hutcheson. Texas S
COP. State chairman, gave
this advice" to the civil rights
subcommittee yesterday:
I'VE insist that no other re-
gion of the country or COM
bination of regions write this
or any other plank to the COM
plete exclusion of our area.
This mistake was made by the
1860 Democratic National Con-
Ivention, and it will only earn
severe rebuff at the ballot box.
1t is only by a blending Of the
responsible thought from every
area of this great Nation that
representative government on
a Nationwide basis may be
truly reflected and ultimately
achieved"
The resolutions committee is
under heavy pressure from the
other side to produce a civil
rights plank even stronger than
the Democratic version. Chair
man Charles H. Percy has said
the plank is unlikely to go
overheard in any obvious effort
to outdo the Democrats or
promise what it cannot reason
ably practice.

Freedom Of The Seas

The Seafarers and International Longshoremen's
unions seem to have made the first major break
through against relentless Arab League boycott of
vessels carrying cargo to and from israel
Their refusal to unload the Egyptian vessel Cleo
patra in New York in many ways parallels the Boston
Tea Party, in which private citizens joined together
for courageous action in protest against great IN
justice
The dock workers. ounter-boycott, however, was
not mercenary protest-they had nothing personal
to gain by their action. On the contrary, theirs was
most selfess deprivng themselves of employment to
focus world attention upon cancer which the great
powers had not the fortltude to resist
Such actions are not too common in the prosperous
United States of today.
The counter-boycott struck blow which was felt
around the world. In Denmark and Norway and other
democratic stronghOldS of Western Europe came
roars of approval and support. From Egypt came
word of extension of the boycott in reprsa to the
counter-boycot Egyptian dockworkers refused TO re-
fuel an American vessel.
Egypt showed its readiness, because of its blind
hatred of Israel and desire to perpetuate the inter
national awessness of its Suez agreement violation
to jeopardize its relations with its biggest customer
and benefactor.
Although the IT, S. State Department had been
content to play the monkey Colonel Nassers string
in this matter, the Congress responded first. An
amendment to the Mutual Security Act has been
working it's way through the legislative hopper with
proposal to penalize such illegal boycotts as the
Arab Leagues where it hurts the most-in the
pocketbook.
Then even the reluctant State Department was
prodded to action. 1t obtained cessation OF the
means of pledge to work assduously for freedom
of the seas That the State Department should need
prodding in such matter is disgrace to the memo
ries of forefathers who took on John Bull over
the same issue and bloodied his in the War of
1912.
Whether the MSA amendment becomes political
football in presidential election year remains to be
SEEN But Congress must surely recognize that there
will be an accounting at the polls in November.
The seafarers and longshoremen's remarkable de-
cision therefore, not only highly appropriate but
exceptionally we'll timed.

This decided improvement was
unquestionably the result of vigor-
Gus educational work in Florida
with community leaders, conven-
ton groups, and hotel owners
themselves" the league declared.
TT SAID THAT "the strikingly
improved picture" was the result of
an improved situation in specific
communities. The league noted
that "the most dramatic change
has taken place in Miami Beach.
In 1858, 20 per cent of the hotels
examined in this community barred
Jews. In 1857, and now again in
1860, ADJ found that about per
cent of the surveyed hotels discrim-
mated. More precisely, of 155 ho-
tells examined in Miami Beach in
1860, four were found to discrirni-
nate against Jews"
The leagues survey presented
the following picture in other Flor
ida communities:
Palm Beach: In 1857 one of six
hotels examined barred Jews. In
1860, the policies of 38 hotels were
tested, showing that five discrimi-
mated against Jewish guests.
DAYTONA BEACH: In 1857, one
of seven hotels surveyed was found
to be discriminatory; in 1860, two
of 81 appeared to be biased.
Hollywood: 1852 OF IL, or 16
per cent, Disseminated; 1903 OF
81, or per cent, prejudiced.
Pompano Beach: 1873 OF 8
hotels surveyed barred Jews; 1860
-8 of SO practiced anti-Jewish dis
elimination.
Fort Lauderdale: In 1858 and
1857, the percentage of discrimina-
tory hotels was about so per cent;
in 1860. 80 per cent of the hotels
examined showed prejudice against
Jews.
Delray Beach: For some years
was touted by local real estate
brokers as being "the only city on
the East Coast (of Florida) fully
restricted to Gentiles. In 1858
the league found that all hotels
| surveyed in Delray Beach were
The Phoenix Jewish news., 1960-05-13

closed to Jews. In 1857, 1t found
that three out of four hotels ex-
amined barred Jews; in 1860, it
found that of 10 hotels examined,
six accepted Jewish guests.
ST. PETERSBURG: Significant
changes shown since 1947. In 1858,
IS per cent of hotels surveyed
Disseminated against Jews; in 1857
and 1850, about 20 per cent contin-
ued the practice. ''But substantial
comfort" the league said, "can
be derived from the recognition
that in 1860, AZ out of 81 hotels in
st. Petersburg accept Jewish
guests whereas in 1947, only 13
years ago, virtually every hotel In
the community barred Jewish
guests"
Sarasota: In 1850 per cent
barred Jews; in 1860, one of A
found to be discriminatory.
st. Augustine: In 1860, one of 27
hotels checked was found to be
discriminatory (no comparative
data available for 1850.
SCHULTZ SAID THAT one of the
interesting findings in the leagues
1860 survey was "that discrimina-
tory language has virtually disap-
peared from literature and letters
sent by Florida hotels. This is a
reflection, we believe, not only OF
an increased recognition that dis
elimination is evil but also of the
enactment of the Florida anti-dis-
criminatory advertising law of 1855.
Of the 1853 hotels in the 1860 sur
vey group, only "a, or 8 per cent,
used discriminatory language in
their literature or letters"
The league noted that 76 discrim-
inatory hotels used devices other
than discriminatory language, such
as restricted clientele" to reject
or ignore the application from the
Jewish" applicant while accept
ing it from the "non-Jewish" ap-
plicant.

discrimination, behaved character

NEW YORK-The resort hotels of
Florida, once among the nations
most biased, have shown a
healthy and substantial decline"
In the practice of religious discrimi-
nation, the Anti-Defamation League
of B'nai Birth reported.
In q new statewide survey, the
league found that there had been a
four-fiftfs drop In the percentage
of Fiorida's discriminatory hotels
in the past seven years. A league
survey of some 500 hotels in 1853
showed that about 55 per cent ex-
cluded or did not welcome Jewish
patronage. The 1850 study of 853
hotels and motels found that 100
about 1296-discriminated against
Jews.
The leagues report was made
public by Henry Edward Schultz,
national chairman, who said that
"the substantial decline of religious
bias in Florida is the reward for
many years of educational effort
Yet the fact some Florida ho-
tells still adhere to outdated guest
policies, and sometimes advertise
them in discriminatory and illegal
terms, is measure of the job still
ahead"
THE LEAGUE STUDY of 853 ho-
tells and mOtels on which 1t "se-
cured sufficient information for an
evaluation of guest acceptance pol
icies covered 30 Florida communi-
ties. OF them, 20 had one or more
hotels which Disseminated against
Jews. In 10 communities all the
hotels surveyed gave equal treat
ment to the Jewish applicant. B"
Between 1853 and 1857, according
to the league, the number of dis
criminatory hotels already began
to decrease considerably through
out Florida. In 1857, a national
survey by the league included 239
Florida hotels and motels; OF this
group. 58-or "a per cent-were
found to be discriminatory. This
represented a drop of more than
half in the percentage of biased
hotels. which continued to decrease
from 1857 to 1850.

year or two ago when he revised
certain church prayers to avoid Of
fenSiVe references to Jews.
Now the Greek Orthodox Church
proposes to take even further steps.
Archbishop Theoklitos, primate of
Greece, last month announced a
plan to remove from the New Test
ament passages which offend Jew
iSh sensibilities or provoke anti
Semitism.
Before next October'S meeting at
the Holy Synod, consultations will
be held on this subject with repre-
SentativeS of branches of the
church.
There is much that Christian re-
ligious leaders can do to eliminate
anti-SemitiSm, which is a disease
not confined to the laity of Christ
endom. Some months ago a New
York minister, Rev. Joseph D.
Huntley remarked that he was
constantly amazed" by the anti
Semitism he found in the church
land among associates of mine"
who are what most people would
consider "gentlefolk.
Such persons, he said, "have a
tendency to blame their misfor-
tunes or the misfortunes of the So
ciety in which they live upon their
Jewish neighbors. He said he was
sometimes frightened "by the bit
ter anti-Semitism 1 discover.
l am inclined to believe that
some, if not all, of this bitterness
could be alleviated by changes in
the indoctrination which children
receive in the church. Social and
economic anti-Semitism simply
build on the feelings which have
already been imbedded in the
hearts of many from childhood.
Rev. Huntley's awarenesS of the
problem and the Greek Orthodox
Church's plan are two heartening
signs. If they lead to widespread
discussion and broader understand
ing, we may hope for meaningful
attack on anti-Jewish feeling and
action in the future.
