Jews Join Drive
To Help Rebuild
Burned Our Churches

New York (ANP) - Ignoring
racial and religious lines, the
American Jewish Committee last
week urged its membership to aid
in the program to rebuild churches
burned in the South. The agency
also called for concrete and moral
support for the voter registration
campaign, an educational program
aimed at inducing southerners -
both white and Negro - to regis
ter and vote in elections.
Characteriing the church burn
ings as "a barbaric act that Of
tends the civilized conscience"
Committee President A. M. Son.
nabend paid tribute to the peace
full and non-violent" response Of
the Negro people in their struggle
to attain full participation in
American democracy"
Founded in 1905, the American
Jewish Committee Is a pioneer
human relations agency in this
country, combating bigotry, pro-
tecting the civil and religious
rights Of Jews here and abroad,
and advancing the cause Of human
rights for all.
Mr.. Sonnabend asserted that
those who have sought to terror
ize our Negro fellow citizens into
abandoning the path that leads to
their full participation in Amer
lean democracy, have achieved the
very opposite effect" He added:
They have stiffened the re-
solve Of Negroes to attain their
civil and political equality and
they have strengthened the solder

prime target, and like the North
west Mounties, we don't plan to
relent until we have our man.
I'VE feel very strongly that
there is no substitute for personal
contact, therefore we plan to
knock on every door until every
Negro citizen has been reached in
both North and South Minneapo-
lis. We plan to irritate the con-
science, and stir up such an I'M

until they are registered and ready
to vote.
Voting A Basic Right
Voting is one of the basic
rights which our brothers in the
South are being deprived. They
have been shot at, beaten up and
some have paid the supreme price,
with their life, and yet in spite of
this maltreatment they continue
to contend for this right. They do
this because they realize that vot-
ing is a costly commodity, and
that it sometimes exacts the price
of tears and bloodshed.
I'VE here in the North are far
more privileged and blessed for
we have the exact converse. We
don't have a poll tax, we are not
required to know how many bub-
bles are in a bar of soap, we don't
have to worry about hooded perpe-
traitors dragging us from our
homes to flog us into submission.
Or we don't have to worry about
being shot at, or any Of these
things. Yet many Of us are slow
to lay hold on this priceless right.
Voting is one of the only real
means we have of having a voice
