Memphis World Memphis World Publishing Co. 1966-07-16 J. A. Beauchamp Citation Winner DISTINGUISHED UNIT — Determined paratroopers move off a muddy landing zone in the Vietnam jungles near Phuoc Tuy Province while on a search, and destroy minion. The soldiers are members of the 1st Battalion, 173d Airborne Brigade which has been awarded the second Distinguished Unit Citation by President Lyndon B. Johnson for heroism in action against a Viet Cong forte near Bien Hoa. Over 400 Viet Cong were killed by battalion soldiers in that battle. The executive head of a national Jewish human; relations agency deplored today the widening gap between Negroes and Jews, and urged that the gap be closed lest it lead to a weakening of America's liberal coaltion. One of four participants in a discussion on "Anti-Semitism and the Negro" on "The Open Mind" program, heard this afternoon (12 Noon - 1 p.m.) over WNBC-TV. Dr. John Slawson, Executive Vice President of the "American Jewish Committee," said: "I urge that the friendship between Jew and Negro be restored. If It is not restored, this is going to weaken the entire liberal movement, and It is going to be bad for the Negroes and bad fur the jews and bad for America." Joining with Dr. Slawson on the program, which was moderated by Dr. Eric Goldman, Professor of History at Princeton, were Dr. Kenneth B. Clark. Professor of Psychology at City College of New York: Dr. Alex Rosen, Dean of the Graduate School of Social Work of New York University, and Bayard Rustin Executive Director of the A. Phillip Randolph Institute. This liberal, coalition — representing, among others, church groups, labor, students, and minority groups — had according to Mr. Rustin, been responsible for the success of the 1953 "March, on Washington," which he organized, and for passage of" the Civil Rights Bill of 1984 and the Voting Rights Bill of 1965." "As the war on poverty must be increased," he continued, "it can be increased only if those same forces, including Catholics. Jews, labor people, students, and others continue." On the question of increased Negro hostility toward Jews — a point on which there was general agreement, that it existed — Dr Clark said: "I think what we are witnessing may be a different form a, different expression of anti-Semitism In the 1940s I think the problems of Negroes and Jews seemed to be largely in the area of employment. Today the problems involve more complex and subtle aspects of relationships, rattier" than the specific concrete areas of difficulties of 20 years ago." "The reality," Mr. Rustin added, "is that Negroes are expressing themselves in regard to every segment of the population in a way that 15 and 20 years ago-they would not". "What is new," commented Dr. Rosen, "are the young Negroes since World War II who have moved into the, race for professions, who are now schoolteachers or social workers, government officials, intergroup relations experts, and so on, and they are moving into the professions which for historical reason Jews seemed, to have preempted. There is a bit of rivalry, of competion for the good things in life or for prominence in these various professions." "I think there is a tendency," Dr. Clark pointed out, "for the Negro to generalize and to use the term "Jew" to meaning white people, because I think studies would hear out that most of the whites with whom he comes in contact are likely to be Jewish." To which Mr. Rustin added: "He touches many more, Jews in his daily life in the ghetto than he dues any other whiles." Dr. Slawson, explaining that prejudice, and discrimination are "irrational,." Said: "We all know that the Jew has been a very convenient target for the white Christian, and the Jew is a very convenient target for the Negro Christian in the ghetto. It is H particularized kind of target. Even if we eliminate all the land lords and all the merchants, you still would have Negro anti-Semitism. We always walk a treadmill When we try to attribute antiSemitism to the prejudice of the victim it is the fault of, the bigot." Much of the discussion centered around the question of Jewish lead ership in the civil rights movement. To Dr. Slawson' question, "Why is there such great resentment on the part of the Negro civil rights leadership that Jews are in the civil rights movement?" Mr. Rustin answered: "Nobody appreciates more than I do the great work Jews have done in this Held. I know you built schools, and libraries and helped us I when no one else would, but there comes a time when every person has to face what A. Phillip Randolph has said Unless the minority that is being persecuted stands up, takes the leadership, and says, "We want now to take the leadership for ourselves no matter how badly we do it — until that happens, nobody will take him seriously." Dr. Clark, commenting on the same point, added: "It seems to mo there are Jews-In the civil rights movement. There should be more Jews in the civil rights movementBut I don"t think that anyone should be in the civil rights movement out of a sense of doing good for the Negro. I think you should be in the civil rights movement because you are concerned with justice you are concerned with the stability of our society. I think where the rub does come in is in this question of leadership". Dr. Slawson added: "I happen to know a number, of Jews all over the United States who are angry at the fact that their helpfulness not only is not appreciated, but resented. There Is no feeling of welcome, and the leadership of both groups have got to get together mid work things out. Founded in 1906, the American Jewish Committee is the pioneer human relations agency in the country combating bigotry, protecting the civil and religious rights of Jews, and advancing the cause of-human rights for all. President Lyndon B. Johnson told new-men in Texas Tuesday that "we're going to centime as long as I'm President to do everything we can to sec that all citizens are seated equally and have equal opportunities." The President was responding to a question about racial unrest" in a press conference at his Texas ranch. He said: "We are not interested in, black rower, and we're not interested in white power, but we are interested in American democratic power with a small d." Citing achievements of the Administration, President Johnson declared: "Now we can't do it all overnight. We are much too late. But we have done more in the last 24 months than has been done in ay similar 24 - year period to face up to these conditions, of health and education and poverty and discrimination .... We are trying every way we can to find employment for the unemployed in our cities. We are trying in every way we can to del people to quit practiceing discrimination in our cities. We are trying to meet the poverty situation as we find it with the limited resources at our command. The President explained his point view mi the goals he seeks when he said: "We believe that the citizen ought to be armed with the power to vote. We believe tin citizen, regardiess of race or his religion or his color, ought to be armed, with the right to have a job at decent wages. We believe that every citizen ought to have the right to have a decent home." The President added: "And we're doing everything we can as-quickly as we can under our Voters rights bills, under our civil rights bills under housing bills, under the proposals we've made in cooperation with the Mayors under the able leadership of the Vice President to improve these terrible contions that exist in the ghettos of this country.

Office of Education in the psst 30 months will explore new approaches to the evaluation of education programs. The Office announced today that the new center at the University of California la Los Angeles will be the first to focus on both evaluation of instructional programs arid development of new evaluation techniques. The Office of Education will provide $557.950 in the first year of the project, which is expected to run for five years. The University will spend $156,000 in the first year. The Center will seek to develop tests and techniques that not only measure student academic performance but take Into account other student characteristics, as well as the role of teacher and administrator, and parent and community, in influencing the learning process. Special emphasis also will be given to examination of programs in relation to costs and results. Methods of evaluation will be developed for two types of programs One type involves a specific subject matter, i. e. new math or social studies. The second type concorns programs that create new administrative arrangements such as nongraded classrooms and special programs for disadvantaged students. "The Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965," a University spokesman said in submitting the center proposal, "provides a grant national investment in the instructional programs of education, which will spur the developmerit, of more new and compllcartel instructional programs. If we are to determine the effects of these new instructional programs upon Die nation's schools, a thorough evaluation of them is mandatory." Through conferences, workshops publications, and special journal articles, the center will seek to reach four major groups with its findins — scholars and evalution experts, director., of curriculum projects, School superintendents and supervisors, and teachers. Directors of the Center will be UCLA faculty mariners Erick L. Lindman, Professor of Educational Administration and Supervision and Merlin C. Wittrock, Associate Profess of Education and Director of the Laboratory for classroom Learning. Bust Cups Sizes Are Changing Brassiere manufacturers are finding that their cups runneth over and are giving the credit for the American bossom boom to The Pill, The Inside's Newsletter reported today. Dan Garson, president of the Lovable Brassiere Co., says that his Company's computers — which keep track of sales and sizes — show a marked change in recent months. "We are selling bigger sizes," he says, "Size 34-B has always been the best seller with other sizes lagging far behind. This spring slue 36-B began to come up fast and size 38 sales are ahead of 32 sales. Cup sizes are changing too, with A and B cups down, and C cups on the increase. "We have checked this phenolmenon with our competitors," says Garson, "and we find It to be a nationwide trend." According to the Newsletter, his observations have been confirmed by Dr. Joseph R. Swartout, an associate professor of obstetric and gynecology at Emory University. Clinical studies, Dr. Swartout says have shown that women taking The Pill (the birth control pill now being used by 5 million women) tend to develop larger breasts as a result of certain hormonal changes resembling those prevailing during pregnancy. "If this keeps up," says Garson, "we may have to alter production of sizes. With a thing as big as this we'll be using more material, which may ultimately raise prices." Do's And Don'ts SPLOOEY Future Of Education Probed By Protestant Church Official The future of public education "may well hang in the balance on whether it quickly overcomes racial school segregation," a Protestant church official told the Race Relations Institute this week. The Rev. L. Alexander Harper, Director for School and Community integration of, the United Church of Christ — a sort of roving strategist for schools noted that ""I here are over 300 cities, in the north and west with Negro populations o fover 1,000 (each) and heavily segregated schools." Race and doss fears In the north, he said "motivate white leaders, to exploit zoning and housing ordinances so as to crfeate suburban circles of affluence around increaseingly Negro and depressed" neighbornoods, "then adds the training camp for this kind of racist community." Harper contended: "A democratic education for the 20th century is not civic information, or even adherence to majority vote. H is preparation for loyal participation in a cosmopolitan, polyglot, urballized society of a multi racial world. "Unless the school itself is a daily learning laboratory for this kind of citizenship," Harper declared, "public education fails." Northern de facto school segregation is as "pernicious as the legal separated school systems of the South in former years," Harper said, adding: In the North, the new myth of the sacred and inviolable neighborhood school has emerged as a device for racial segregation." The neighborhood school, he said, "is a perversion of the noble American dream of the common, or community, school which would reflect a cross section of all people, and provide access to social mobility for the masses." Racially integrated schools are needed for purely educational —not civil rights — reasons, he said. "Self identity of all children, Negro and white, is damaged without them." The racially Integrated school also has a political adventage us the church leader sees it, "Public schools are state - compelled and tax - supported," he said. Harper scored ns "cultural bias" and "segregating effects" applications of I. Q. tests, ability groupings and "track systems" in secondary schools as customarily administered, saying that "cultural deprivations" explain sufficiently low school achievement among Negroes; and, warned that present "racial" evaluation of the tests may constatute a myth. He also sewed the theory that putting high and tow achievers in the same classroom damages either. "Evidence simply doesnt support this" theory, he said. Harper discounted what he called the "philosophy of "four walls," and the theory "that public schools be separated from politics. Free transfer plans in the Southland open enrollment policies in the North are, in fact, simply "evasions of responsibility," he said. The redrawing of school district lines, schools pairings and clusters, better feeder patterns, placement of new schools and centralized school campuses are among workable devices for racial balance of schools, Harper declared. School desegregation may proceed more rapidly in the South than in northern communities, Harper reasoned. Northern schools merely sign an affidavit avowing nondiscrimination; southern school officials are required to submit defailed plans or operate under court orders. He said the different procedures permit disguised discrimination to "continue unabated" in northern schools, but move toward removal faster in the South. Harper urged a sort of "watchdog over local school policies," reporting complaints to the U. S. Commissioner of Educatin acts of Discrimination, exposing of "the menagerie of myths" about educational practices allowing racial discrimination and pressure on school boards and officials. Sunday School Lesson Loyalties of the human race have always been divided from the time of the foundation Christianity — worship, of the one and the supreme God. In early Biblical times many gods were worshipped by the people, and Idols made to them; there were gods, of fire, godesses of fertility ....in fact, a god controlled the everyday happenings of everyday people. They were to be pampered, catered to, and sacrificed to — lest, in their displeasure they wrought havoc in the people's lives. And thus, the early Chritians, in following their personal beliefs in worshipping the one true God, set themselves in the face "l that which was accepted — and often paid the subsequent penaties of such Individualism. Of such stuff were the early Christian martyrs made. Today we face the same dangers and temptations, for while it is true that we do not sacrifice our children on the fires of some heathen deity, nor do we sacrifice animals, we are still ridden by pet superstitions (even though we may not openly admit It) and we have many false gods today in other forms. For while the ancients worshipped stones, trees, stars and the elements, today — all too often — our lives are devoted to the worship of such earthy things as the making of money, letting it rule our lives until we. can see nothing else, think of nothing else, and have no time or energy left in our makeup for the humanities. Television sets, two cars in the family, the best school for our children, extensive wardrobes, furs, Jewels . . . all these outward and tangible trappings of financial success become gods of our households if we are not on our guard, parties and good times come a close second — and so on, ad infinitum! And before we know it, we are drained and Jaded, And feel deserted and betrayed! For we have not built up any personal reservoirs within ourselves... that part of self which is spirit, and which motivates us and gives reason for our existence. For Idolatry in any form is empty. God despises it, because Ht cares for us, his children. Idolatry is destructive instead of constructive, for idols canot see the needs of their worshippers ... the need for renewed strength in a weary soul fighting a long, hard or hold out hope to the hopeless. But God can do all these things! He can be the cornerstone of our existence, he can uplift, He can renew, and He can guide us in the paths of righteousness. He can reward us in our efforts with great happiness and contentment, and in spiritual growth. He can sustain us through our trials and sadness. He holds out salvation if we will but reach forth and lake it. But for us to benefit from His many blessings, we have to be willing to take them. We owe something In return. All He asks of us in our acknowledgement that He is the one God ... the true God; that we be steadfast in spirit and loving heart — to Him alone. For some-of us this may not come too easily, but if we strive to attain a state of true worship within ourselves, our efforts will be crowned with success. And we will be richer for it, with tile riches that truly matter, for our spirits will grow. Let us therefore resolve to be worshippers of Almighty God. Let us not be deflected by empty gestures and the trappings 'of the world!
