Negro Airmen
Stage Sit-In
Protest In Japan

TOKYO CUPID - A U. S. 5th
Air Force spokesman said Monday
that racial trouble around a base
at Misawa, Japan, has been re-
solved quietly and in an orderly
manner.
The trouble began brewing
several days ago when Negro
servicemen at the big base 400
miles north of Tokyo formed small
sit-in groups to visit and integrate
white-only bars in the area, or
force their closure.
The spokerman, Col. Dean
Hess, said "the prospective prob
lem growing out of purported dis
elimination in Misawa City, we
believe, has been resolved quietly
and in an orderly manner through
the mutual cooperation, under
standing and amicable open dis
cussion between both groups con-
cerned."
Hess, speaking from Fuchu
Air Force Base. said 9TH ere
have been no incidents up there.
The bar owners are serving Ne
groes and Caucasians alike"
He said II understand that the
bar owners said they would be
happy to serve anyone if they
came in small groups. 1t was just
that they didn't want crowds OF
Is or 20 coming in at once"
Questioned about the discrimi-
nation of some Japanese bars
against all foreigners - white
and Negro alike-Hess said that
the Air Force had done nothing
about that situation and did not
contemplate any action in the
future.
Discrimination by bars and res
taurants against all foreigners is
particularly prevalent in the
; southern island of Kyushu near
u. S. military installations.

In a statement, Rabbi Prinz
declared that the worth and
dignity of man created in the
image of God stand at the very
center of Jewish tradition and
Jewish teaching.
From Genesis to the Proph-
cts, the Jewish Bible under
scores both the divine origin of
man and his God-given right to
equality" Rabbi Prinz declar-
ed. "At the same time, we are
enjoined to act in accordance
with these beliefs. "He who
performs a moral act,' the Tai
mud teaches, associates himself
with God in the creation of the
world"
"In the Jewish religion, it is
moral act to obey the injunc-
ton of Leviticus to love thy
neighbor as thyself.' It is a
| moral act to follow the Golden
Rule of Hillel DO not do unto
| others what thou wouldst not
have done unto thee
"But Judaism also teaches
that we have duty to perform
such acts, that we are command
ed to do so, and that the per-
formance of 'Mitzvah' or
commandment is a duty and a
blessing"
Rabbi Prinz said the Ameri-
can Negroes struggle for equal
treatment and equal opportun-
ity" would "reach a climax in
the historic March on Wash
ington August %.
''By joining the Negro COM
munity in it's historic demon
stration," he declared, "Ameri-
can Jews will also protect their
own freedom, for We have long
known that no group is secure
unless the rights of all are safe
guarded.
GAS Americans, Jews who
join the March on Washington
will be part of a protest whose
purpose is to strengthen Amer
lean democracy, both in the eyes
of the watching world and in our
own hearts and minds.
Finally, as members of a
Covenant whose sacred writings
and oral law bespeak a commit
ment to the ideal of equality
and to it's achievement, Ameri-
can Jews who take their place
in the March on Washington
will be following the highest
pr@epts Of Judaism, as they

joined to put them into real and

regime maintains that its Afri-
can territories of Angola, Mo-

Mr.. Salazar's statement came
after prolonged terrorist activi-

interference in Portugal's in

the UN charter.

Portugal from the African con-
tlnent by force are having no
influence on his overseas plan
ming. But he warned his peo-
pie to expect higher taxes if
those threats are executed.

A couple Of days ago head
lines in the daily press carried
the news that Wally Butts,
erstwhile mentor of the Univer-
sity Of Georgia gridiron squad,
had been awarded q judgement
Of three million dollars against

that the periodical had printed

mount.
There is valuable lesson in

The lesson portrays the folly
of accepting verbatim the word
of someone who is peddling de-
famatory hog-wash about an
other persons character. As
proven in this case, the accep-
tance and repeating of such un-
supported gossip can be an ex-
pensive and regrettable "deal".

dure would be taken by in
