Rabbi Brands Prejudice As Too Costly a Luxury
Racial and religious prejudices were branded last night as luxuries Americans could not afford by Rabbi Arthur Gilbert at a dinner meeting in the Kansas Union.
Rabbi Gilbert, national director of the department of inter-religious cooperationists for the Anti-Defamation League, spoke in connection with Race Relations Week.
He listed five specific areas of the secregation problem:
1. The alarming increase of hate literature in the South directed against the Jew.
2. The growing disregard for law and order in the solution of racial problems.
3. The willingness of many people to abandon the public school rather than accept token integration.
Nichols Denies KU 'Soliciting'
Raymond Nichols, executive secretary of the University, today denied that KU is attempting to solicit petitions for increased budgets for state schools.
Gov. George Docking said yesterday the "administrative force" of KU is contacting organizations trying to get them to circulate petitions so KU and Kansas State College will have greatly increased budgets.
Mr. Nichols said;
"I have no knowledge that any individual or group is promoting any petition in behalf of state schools It's news to me. I have never heard of it."
In his statement, Gov. Docking said "wherever I go" he heard of the attempt to obtain petitions to be circulated among "labor, farm, P-TA and other organizations."
Final Blue Cross Sign-up Feb. 16
The last opportunity for students to enroll in the Kansas Blue Cross-Blue Shield program will be Thursday, Friday, and Monday.
The new program supplements the services of the Student Health Service and provides enough additional hospital-medical-surgical benefits that the student who enrolls in the plan will have almost complete coverage.
The annual cost of the new program is $17.50 for single students and $97.25 for family coverage. Students enrolling now will pay for only eight months coverage which will make the cost $11.70 single, and $64.75. family.
Coverage will include the period from Feb. 1 through Oct. 1, and renewal Oct. 1959, will be for a full year.
4. The rigid patterns of housing zoning which directly discriminates against Negroes in the north.
5. The tense relations between America's religious groups as they jockey for political power.
"When man is harmed by prejudice, the image of God in man is harmed." he said.
He commended the recent act of the Presbyterian Church to make money available to churches that may lose membership because of their effort to integrate membership.
Rabbi Gilbert said that Protestant, Jewish and Roman Catholic church leaders have been meeting in unpublicized conferences. The purpose of the inter-religious discussions has been to discuss the tensions in religious congregations.
"These efforts at dialogue are our hope for the future, for only in building bridges of understanding and in deepening each of our own faith commitments, can we find the way to transform our lives and America," he said.

"An Italian Straw Hat," a fastmoving French farce by Eugene Labiche and Marc-Michel, will open at 8 tonight in the University Theatre.
The game will be televised by five area stations. WIBW-TV in Topeka and KMBC-TV in Kansas City will carry the telecast in this area.
Tonight's performance opens a four-night stand. Tickets are still available for the three remaining performances.
The play has an opening first scene that lasts only a minute. The production is divided into five acts and moves exceptionally fast.
The play derives its name from the plot which begins when a bridegroom's horse eats an Italian straw hat. The irate owner of the gobbled fedora demands that it be replaced and sends the wedding party out in search of a duplicate.
