ADL Charges FfederaL-F^
ATA Subsidize Religious Hatred
NEW YORK (JTA)—The
-Anti-Defamation League of
B'nai. B'rith charged this
week that federal funds to
the. African-American
Teachers .Association were
being "used to subsidize
racial or religious hatred!"
It asked the Department, of
Health, Education and
Welfare to "cease the flow of
government money" to the
association, which is based
here. Seymour Graubard,
ADL national chairman,
advised HEW Secretary
Elliot L. Richardson in a
letter that "whatever else its

NEW YORK (JTA)—"If

look inwards, into ourselves

JDL),!' Richard Yaffe,
chairman of the National
Council of Americans for
Progressive Israel-
.Hashomer Hatzair, said
Maiv 1.. Addressing 300
persons attending a ''protest
he noted, stated there is a
moral bankruptcy in the
American Jewish establish¬
ment. "It is hard to argue
with such a point," he said.
The JDL says there is anti-
Semitism in America.
"There certainly is, almost.,
anywhere one can go," Yaffe
observed. "Just because it is
not virulent today does not
mean it may not be
tomorrow." In- addition, he
continued, the JDL's views
oh the. alienation of Jewish
purposes may be, a sub¬
stantial aspect of ATA's.
activity is deliberate anti-
Semitism," and public aid to
it is "violative of the letter,
and spirit of the federal
Constitution and Jaws and
regulations under it." Since
Nov. 1967," Graubard wrote,
the ATA has engaged in
"anti-Jewish bigotry" on
numerous occasions, in¬
cluding the following:
The Nov-Dec. 1967 issue of
its journal. Forum, con¬
demned "the Jews who
dominate and control the
educational bureaucracy of
the New York, public school
system," spelling "death for
the minds and souls'of our
Black children." The Nov.
1968 Forum declared: "The
- Jew, j great liberal friend of
yesterday > .is  now  our
exploiter.  He  keeps  our
•women   and   men   from
becoming   teachers   and
principals, and- keeps  our
children    ignorant......"

said on Jan, 24,1969,^8 far

make enough lampshades
out of them. He didn't make
enough belts but of them."

Campbell wrote in 1970 in

perpetrating their crimes.

UJFC Campaign Running
Well At Half-Way Mark
The 1972 Campaign of the
' United Jewish Fund and
.Council has'nearly reached
/its half-way mark, according
to Gordon B. Zacks, General
- Chairman with each division
running well ahead of last
year.
Mr. Zacks also announced
that the Golden Gifts Ball, an
Advance   Gifts   Function
(' '/ which has not been held for
■•' ■ several years, will be given
again this year, on Saturday
evening,   April   8,   at   the
>■     Winding Hollow  Country
,    Club.
■',' "This will be the climax of
the   Advance   Gifts   Cam-
. paigri,"! stated Mr. Zaciw.
7 ."Atthishjstpric meeting, we.
expect a generous response
from those who attend, to
reflect the needs of Jewry at
home and abroad. In the face
;of the very real threat to
Israel's existence, and the
humanitarian needs created
by   the   ever-growing   im¬
migration into the country,
our community must rise to
new heights of sacrifice and
generosity."
The Campaign is off to a
good start, according to Mr.
Zacks. Everyone seems to be
willing to listen to the story,
to want to know and un¬
derstand why more money is
needed today than ever
before.. With ■ workers, in
every Division now seeing
prospects, the totals keep
climbing daily.   .
Report meetings are. being
held, every Sunday morning

Services Building, from 10
a.m. until 1 p.m. for";the

Morris "Pic". Fleishman,

convened the meeting, Yaffe
said  it  was   difficult   to
combat the JDL because it
makes   points   difficult   to
refute.       "Jews      have
memories     -of.     'many
Holocausts, hot only the last

Marvin L. Glassman,

not be delinquent. These,
payments are needed so that

continue the flow of cash to
Israel and to rescue those
Jews who are permitted to
leave the Soviet Union.
