Quaker Agency Supports
Sit-In Demonstrations
The non-violent sit-in protests
against segregated lunch coun
ters and other facilities received
the support of the American
Friends Service Committee in a
statement made public today.
Speaking from its commftment
to peace and non-violence, the,
Quaker agency commended the
approach taken by most of those
participating in the protest dem
onstrations. "Their self-disciplinc
and restraint in the face of
threat, taunt and physical abuse
have prevented many incidents
from erupting into violent ac
tion", the statement said.
The American Friends Ser
vice Committee called on all
Americans for a deeper under
standing of the protest move
ment. "It is our conviction", said
the statement, "that these dem
onstrations stem from an unmet
need in our society to accept the
equality of all men before God
and thus to throw off the shack
les of separateness." Because of
its belief in the worth and dig
nity of every human being, the
Quaker committee asserted that
.there should be no barriers to
equality of opportunity ? wheth
er at lunch counters or schools,
in housing or employment.
Pralge was offered for the ef
forts of community .leaders in
some localities to. find right an
swers to the problems of segre
gated facilities. The . statement
concluded with, an appeal to
"proprietor, manager, and cus
tomer alike to accord equal
treatment to all, regardless of
race, creed or color".
The American Friends Service
Committee carries on its pro
grams of relief and reconcilia
tion through a national office
in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
and /through 11 regional offices
in various parts of the country.
Regional office for the south
eastern states is located at High
Point, North Carolina where
Wilton Hartzler is the executive
secretary.

Integration Urged By
Jewish Congress
New York, March 26 ? The
president of the American Jew
ish Congress has written to the
presidents of four leading va
adopt a policy that would per
mit Negro customers to be serv
riety chains urging them to
ed at lunch counters in their
Southern stores.
The Rev. Dr. Joachim Prinz,
national president of the Ameri
can Jewish Congress, wrote this
week to Louis C. Lustenberger,
president of W. T. Grant; Harry
B. Cunningham, president of S.'
S. Kresge; George L. Cobb,
president of S. H. Kress; and
R. C. Kirkwood, president of
F. W. Woolworth. It is believed
this marks the first declaration
of support for the Negro sit
down strikers in the South by
a national Jewish organization.
In his letter, the American
Jewish Congress leader said he
recognized that the primary
purpose of a commercial organi
zation is to engage in business
for profit and not to effect social
reforms.
"However," Dr. Prinz wrote,
"no commercial concern can
hope to escape the consequence?
of a policy which accepts social
injustice and thus perpetuate0
it. The law does not and cannot
compel your company to dis
criminate against Negro custom
res. Indeed, their patronage ir
all- other departments is soiic't
; c\ The denial cauality ?"<
lunch counters is therefore a cal
culated and humiliating discrimi
nation."
Dr. Prinz continued:
"The paramount consideration
is whether the great economic
assets at your disposal shall be
used to impose barriers of dis
crimination or whether they
shall translate the spirit of our
Constitution ,and the expressed
will of the American people as
a whole in eliminating this
bigotry.
"There is no refuge in a posi
tion of artificial neutrality or
in the specious excuse that a
business is merely accepting the
local customs of the communi
ties in which it operates," Dr.
Prinz wrote.
"Such a position will inevi
tably provoke a great number of
Americans who abhor bigotry
and prejudice to indicate their
opposition to the denial of equal
ity to Negroes or any other
group."
The American Jewish Congress
leader concluded his letter:
"The well-known maxim of
the psalmist, 'How goodly and
pleasant it is for brothers to
sit together in unity,' is not
merely a sentiment; it is a sum
mons for our times. I am writ
ing therefore to express my
own and my organization's sor
row at the events taking place
in your company's stores in the
South and to ,urge you to revise
your.,, j j, lie;/ so that these stores
treat 'alike ail Vnv-abidinj c'.io
'tomers regardless of their race
or color."
