Study Groups Praised

One of the great tragedies of the American Jewish

tween the various groups concerned in it. The conflict
between the many so-called Defense Agencies both
within and without the National Community Relations
Advisory Council has meant that have floundered
in attempts to determine meaningfu attitudes
toward ourselves and Jewish neighbors 1t has
meant divided effort and confused loyaltles
Perhaps the most longstanding of voded
relationships to be found in the area where
cooperation and understanding should have been
strongest It was for this purpose that the Synagogue
Council of America was formed to institute dialogue
in the many where Jews with religious concerns

which have added to our dignity and acceptance as

the Southern California Board of Rabbis and

have worked together to provide the community with
services and to cooperate in community projects to
widen the scope of community consciousness They are
essentially business sessions.
But two years ago, the Phoenix Rabbincal Council
set nlans for much more important dimension for their
activities In this they followed the pioneer work done
by the Texas Kallah of Rabbs who meet together for
study and discussion four days each year. local

approximately thirty weeks during the year. to study
and evauate traditional Jewish sources each from the
individual point of view OF the rabbis concerned each
coming to understand the attitudes and concerns OF his
colleagues, each gaining insight into the differing
patterns of American Jewish Life reflected in the
Phoenix community.
Subject matter has ranged through Mshnah and
Tamud to MaimOnedes with occasional digressions to
Bible and Midrash and the Passover Haggadah The
approaches of the rabbis differ considerably T ey

No fear in America is as deep
and terrifying as the fear of grow

ward to it as a process of life, we
face it with confusion, with dis
honesty and with pain, that instead
of it being an accomplishment, it
becomes a defeat. 1t is something
we do not want to face and we run
away. We try in every way to con-
ceal, to deceive and to bring about

Rights And Rights

Pressure for civil rights legislation in the Unit
ed States will achieve it's greatest effectiveness in
the proportion that it focuses attainable goals.
This may be obvious but it applies profoundly to
the political goals advanced by President Kennedy
in his second civil rights message.
10 put matters another way, one sound mea-
sure enacted into law this session can do more for
the advancement of racial equality than an omni-
bus bill of noble obectives left on the House and
Senate calendars after adjournment
That one sound measure on which attention
should be cenered is not in the present message at
all, but is already in the congressional mills as a
result of this years first civil rights message from
the White House on February %.
1t seeks adoption of what was Title III of the
civil rights bill of 1857 portion sacrificed in or
der to obtain passage of provisions than even more
sadly needed By it the Department of Justice would
be empowered to enter suits on behalf of persons
whose rights to register and vote had been denied
To this has been added provision for expedting civil
rights suits through the Courts
This much and probably more - could be OBJ
tanned from the contained from the current ses-
sion of Congress- Enough Republican votes surely
would be forthcoming to close debate in the Senate
and so crush fibuster.
In all probability fairly generous bill could
then also be obtained reinstating the depressed
areas program and expanding the support of voca-
tional education throughout the country. This
ought to be considered on it's own merits.
But when Mr.. Kennedy calls upon Congress to
stretch the already distended interstate commerce
integration upon privately owned hotels, motels,
motion picture theaters, sports arenas department
stores food markets, gasoline stations restaurants
lunch counters, and soda fountains the adminstra-
tion is inviting Congress to Donnybrook in which
even the attanable goals of the first civil rights
message may become unattainable
The desegregation of these facilities by volun-
tary action is unquestionably desirable goal, and
eevnts are moving in that direction To hasten the
reform of common customs as part of the treat
ment of individuals the basis of their behavior
rather than on basis of race color is respon-
sibility that white people of the United States
simply cannot shirk any longer.
But there rights of voluntary association
which, even if misused need to be preserved as a
part of the system of law by which the nation is
governed. Otherwise in defense of one set of rights
under the 18th Amendment the government nvades
another without that "due process of law prom
sed in the same amendment.
It may well be that the administration strategy
is to the last proposal to build up stream behind
the first two and then to trade it off as was done
with Title III in 1857. To do so would force pub
lie consciousness of the issue of accommodation in
public places. But actually to insist down to the
wire on an all-embracing omnibus bill - however
inviting politically would be self-defeating legis-
ative strategy.

Growth OF Scholarship

One of the tragic wastes of our society is the
high school graduate who has shown promise in
his studies, but does not go on to college because
of lack of funds. The tragedy is compounded
by the fact that each year thousands of scholar
ships in the United States are unused because no
one applies for them.
Thirty million dollars in scholarship grants
were unused last year, and $3.50 million available
for low-cost college loans were untouched. Contrary
to what skeptc might deduce, few of these scholar
arships were limited to pink-haired Siberians who
wanted to study the natural animosites Of the al
batross and the goldfish.
Two requirements of most scholarships are
good grades in high school and need for financial
aid The second requirement can frequently be over
come if there are no other takers and the applicant
shows particular promise in his field.
Lack of publicity concerning some of the avail
able scholarships contributes to their disuse. But
the truth u.s. as most student counselors aware,
lack of perseverance the part of the student and
his parents is most frequently to blame.
Hundreds of organizations fraternal, educa-
tional scientific, military, and governmental =
offer scholarships each year. There are constant ad
ditions to the list. Every college will supply a
prospective student potential scholarship lost upon
request, and many colleges offer their own schol-
arship and loan services.
