Vocational Training Is Aid
In Overcoming Anti-Jewish
Bias In Job Market
WASHINGTON, D. C.—That the
young Jew or Jewess in the United
States who has enjoyed the bene
fit of vocational guidance before
entering upon life’s work can find
in such training a considerable
compensation for discrimination in
the employment market is the
assertion made in “How to Plan
Your Life-Work”, a new 50-page
illustrated pamphlet published by
the B’nai B’rith Vocational Service
Bureau and written by J. Anthony
Humphreys, director of personnel
service of the Woodrow Wilson
Junior College, Chicago.
The value of vocational counsel
ing in counteracting discrimina
tion is stressed in the chapter on
“Some Problems of Jewish Youth”,
which was prepared by Max F.
Baer, director of the Vocational
Service Bureau. Mr. Baer points
out that “the young man or wom
an who is able to apply the prin
ciples of career choice as suggest
ed in this booklet, who knows
where job opportunities are to be
found and who trains himself ac
cordingly has a competitive ad
vantage in the job market. And
that may to a great extent com
pensate for discrimination.”
The same chapter also urges
young Jewish people “to think
twice before spuming” an oppor
tunity in a successful trade or
business of a father or relative
“for what may be a precarious
existence in some profession. You
may be making a serious mistake
in allowing social prestige or in
flated hopes of attaining wealth
and glamour to lead you away
from opportunities that lie at your
doorstep.”
The booklet contains chapters
on how to choose a career, what
to learn about occupations, what
to learn about yourself, how to
relate analysis of occupation to
self analysis and a brief introduc
tion to the economics of the job
market, all written simply and in

Jews In Sports
BY MORRIS WEINER
NEW JEWISH HEROES
ON GRIDIRON
They're manning the weeps at
Columbia University since Sid
Luckman left the old homestead
and what is true on Morningside
Heights is true of many another
campus where a Jewish football
star kept romping across the goal
line and rolling up the score.
However, don’t be misled. The
only collegiate brethren who are
shedding genuine tears for such
departed., heroes., as., the., black
haired kid named above and oth
ers like Goldberg of Pitt and (let’s
pick a couple of names from a
hat) Kaplanoff of Ohio State,
Aronson of St. Mary’s, Monsky of
Alabama, Hessberg of Yale, Weiss
of Michigan, Glickman of Syra
cuse, Roth of Cornell, Friedman of
Rice or Zimmerman of Centen
nary, are the coaches of the col
lege elevens where these young
sters cavorted during the past
three years and the fraternity
brothers of the kids just mention
ed.
All others, including the sport
writers (always a fickle folk), are
crying for their heroes of yester
year with tears of the crocodile
genus. And, we’re no exception,
already forgetting the exploits of
the Hebrew Hill-Billy for the
mighty deeds of the new terror of
the Raritan —Art Gottlieb, out
standing backfield ace on the Rut
gers eleven and the iron man of
the 1938 Princeton clash when the
Scarlet banner was draped over
the Nassau Tiger.
Gottlieb is but one of the many
Jewish gridiron gladiators who
have been streaking across the
football stadia, the pigskin tucked
securely under their arms, and
when last reported were heading
for the goalposts and the head
lines in the Sunday sport pages.
By the way, Gottlieb, a Phi
Epsilon Pi frater, is a third-year
man on the New Brunswick eleven
and gives every indication of be
coming another Jack Grossman
(also Phi Ep).
(Ed. Note—Our sports editor
has been intimidated by the pub
lisher (incidentally, a Phi Epper
too) of an Anglo-Jewish weekly
who threatened to flay him unless
he gave credit to the P. E. P.
lads.)
And so, with Gottlieb leading
the parade of the 1939 Jewish
stars, we find dozens of others
who may, ten years from now, be
remembered as the Barney Mintz,
the Benny Lorn, the Izzy We in
stock, the Dave Smuckler, or the
Fred Sington of the current cam
paign. (These lads by the way,
for some of you who may have
been a tender age when these
stars were shining, were All-
America ball players from 1928
through 1934).
As a matter of fact our scouts
have clogged the mails with names
of Jewish football players who
have donned their cleats and mole
skins for better or worse and for
the glory of the college and the
old frat house. Items, at once
interesting and intriguing, keep
pouring in and among such choice
morsels we find:
Fred Levy, a substitute tackle
who hails from the East playing
in the alien corn of the Norsemen,
the Danes and the Swedes of Min
nesota. Levy, only a sophomore,
was sent into the Minnesota-Ne
| braska tilt by his coach, Bemie
Bierman, and in his first Varsity
. fray blocked a Cornhusker place
ment kick on the twenty-five yard
stripe.
THE SOUTHERN JEWISH WEEKLY
LIGHT IN A DARK WORLD
Frankly Speaking
w ; BY PAT FRANK
Nothing much was said about.
it in the general press, but the |
testimony of a young, dark-haired
University of Washington stud
ent—name Richard Forbes—before
the Dies Committee may yet
bounce back to smack Fritz Kuhn
and his Nazi Bund. The F. B. 1.,
with whom Forbes cooperated as
he pretended to be a Bundster,
followed his activities closely and
by the time this is read, may al
ready have struck at the anti-
American activities of the Bund
on the West coast.
One of the things that im
pressed this reporter was the calm,
dispassionate way in which Forbes
outlined how the Bund attempted
to influence American opinion.
For instance, they gave the uni
yersity senior the job of “filling
the vox pop columns of the news
papers with pro-German letters.”
And if this isn’t propaganda that
comes under the registration act,
what is?
Here in Washington, the Times-
Herald, owned by Eleanor Patter
son, whose brother is Joe Patter
son, proprietor of the New York
Daily News, and whose kinfolk
control the Chicago Tribune, had
a strange experience with vox
pop letters. A woman signing
herself Frieda Hoffman filled the
editorial page of her paper with
letters praising Hitler and all his
works. Pretty soon other letters
begin to filter in. They were ac
companied by dollar bills and
money orders. They offered to
pay Frieda’s passage back to
Germany.

Fair Looms As
Big Success
With less than three weeks re
maining before the opening of the
sixth annual Duval County Fair-
Exposition, November 17th to 26th,
work is rapidly progressing at the
old Brentwood fair grounds site
repairing and enlarging to make
ready for the ten day festival.
The fair officials have launched
their promotional campaign to
bring record crowds to the grounds
from north Florida and South
Georgia. So great has been the
response from prospective exhib
itors that the fair management
is now considering the enlarge
ment of facilities to take care of
the enormous increase in agricul
tural, industrial and live stock
exhibits.
whose crew . . . just a few days
ago, was cited for heroism in the
rescuing of passengers from the
sunken Athenia ... up spoke Mike
McDermott, the white-haired vet
eran chief of the State Depart
ment press division: “S’funny, but
the Germans claim they don’t
know a thing about what hap
pened to the City of Flint—but
they knew all about what was
going to happen to the Iroquois.
S’funny.”
He said it with a straight face,
because Mr. McDermott is a diplo
mat.
