Roy wilkins Writes:
Anti Semefissn
Not Widespread
Amonq NeQroes

New York (JTA) - The anti
Semitism espoused by the Black
Muslims against the Jews Is not
prevalent among the large part Of
the American Negro community.
This observation was made by Roy
Wilkins, executive secretary to the
National Association for the Ad-
vancement Of Colored People, in
the current issue of American
Judaism, official publication of the
Union Of American Hebrew Con-
gregations.
Wilkins felt that misunderstand-
ing and lack of adequate dialogue,
rather than organized anti-Semit-
ism, exists today between Jews
and Negro in this country. Both
Negroes and Jews could improve
their understanding of each other
by employing more than casual
or surface approach" he said.
Referring to recent anti-Semitic
outbursts by the Black Muslims
and their leaders, Wilkins said: IF
Black Muslims appear to be anti
Semites in some of their utterances
this attitude is not that of the
broad Negro community.
Not A Greed
"Anti-Semitism is not wide
spread among Negroes nor is it
nourished and passed on as work.
ing creed. It is not virulent and
exists among relatively few Ne
groes. If this were not so, and if
actual hatred of whites were not
similarly limited, the Black Mus
Inns would have millions of fol-
lowers instead of thousands" he
continued.
He praised the efforts of the
organized Jewish community and
many individual Jewish leaders for
aiding the cause of the Negro in
his fight for civil rights. Certain
ly, since Negro citizens began an
organized effort to secure their
constitutional rights as Americans
and to campaign for the elimina-
ton of bigotry and prejudice, they
have had the sympathetic and very
active assistance of Jews"
Cites Jewish Help
wilkins mentioned several Jew
ish lay and rabbinic leaders who
helped organize the NAACP, and
many others who are active in the
organization and as it's legal coun-
selors, He particularly cited the as
sistance of the Jewish community
in the very sensitive and difficult
field of housing" where he said
the Jews themselves had suffered
some disabilities, adding that
Jews have helped the Negro in
his fight to escape from the ghet-
to-"
Negro Jewish relations also were
involved in a charge by Adam

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
TEE
TO
GREEN
Jimmy Bowman
BY JIMMIE BOWMAN

Greetings three putt green's
men,! I use the term three putt
conservatively. Il know a couple
of fellows who four putted.) I
hope I don't four putt anymore
this season!
Well here it is another golf week
and as usual there is always some
thing on the courses to get a laugh
out of. This great game is the
greatest ego deflater' in the world.
Anytime you feel that you can
whip the world, just pick up your
golf clubs and get cut down to
size-(really).
A group of T.C.C.Aites stormed
Hillesville &C. Theodore Wirth)
Saturday morning and hit off the
first tee like pros.
Well, by the time those high
winds and hills got to us, plus some
strange putting, we eased into our
cars very quietly about four hours
later.
Only one fellow betrayed us;
that Ron McGinnis forgot the wind
was blowing and shot a beautiful
10 for the days activities. He is a
prospective member and a good
sound golfer.
His cousin, Charlie McKinnis had
a losing battle with number 10 be-
hind the greens and down the hill
and through the trees, etc. (grin)
We had a good laugh out of it.
Il thought he was playing pin ball
for awhile.) Like I said, this game
will tone down the best any day in
the week.
Say, it looks like the move is on
for T.C.G.A.'s finest year. One of
my old cut buddies, Short Iron
Lassley, confided to me that he
is rejoining the group, and that is
good news. He is too much from
IS yards out as I painfully remem-
Der. (smile). My shag boy buzzes
me that Carter and Mills from st,
Paul are chomping at the bit to
make it on In. We are delighted to
have them and when they sign in
with Lassley and McGinnis we will
have another complete team for
our inter-club matches, which kick
off May 4th at Wirth, Hiawatha
and Gross.
Incidentally, as gaze over our
roster for the year, we are going
to give one of these local "a men
teams a good run for their laurels
in the coming city matches this
year. We made a creditable show
ing last year, but like the baseball
Twins, we don't have enough re-
serve strength. Now we have it
and puts will be dropping!
Say, I haven't seen hide nor
hair Of the Mayor, Mr.. Jim Slem-
mons, yet for the year. Guess he's
busy as usual getting ready for his
Bronze Open on July 20-21. This
Is always the finest thing in the
upper Midwest and Jim will keep
1t that way.
Note. If you golfers get caught
in any more cold weather, tee the
ball high, wear mittens on both
hands and forget about the high
scores. Il know that Is what I
have been doing). MY scores along
with a few others have looked like
a pair Of football games on my
card.
Well, see the starter waving
at me! He says its time to back
up off the tee and go-go home
that is. See you next week dubs!
Big Jay.
