CASE Use His GOP Foes as Cover By JACK STEELE, Scripps-Howard Staff Writer. NEWARK, Sept. 28.— Scurrilous, campaign litera­ture is being poured out in New Jersey to beat GOP Senate nominee Clifford P. Case, who is also under at­tack from right-wing ele­ments in his own party. , Vituperative “flyers” and “broadsides” against Mr. Coca have been traced to an Xhamples of material being distributed in anti-Case campaign. THE THOUGHTS FROM THE HEART OF ONE OF AMERICA’S GREAT MEN! MR. CASE’S FIRST SPEACH IN CONGRESS United States oj America A Challenge to Prejudice SPEECH OK HON. CLIFFORD P. CASE OK NEW JERSEY IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES Tuesday, June 12,194S Mr. CASE of New Jersey. Mr. Chair­man, I am native-born, white, a gen­tile—a Protestant. That I am these things entitles me to no special status or distinction. Indeed I had no choice as to any of them, except the last. But because I am these things, and thus a member of the comfortable majority in this country, I find myself under com­pelling obligation to express my dis­agreement with certain remarks made yesterday in this Chamber by the gentle­man from Mississippi [Mr. Rankin). As to Mr. Justice Frankfurter. I am not personally acquainted with Felix Frankfurter. My last and only di­rect contact with him was as a student for a few weeks, nearly 20 years ago. But several of my close friends and pro­fessional associates have long known him intimately and I have had occasion, of course, to follow his decisions and opin­ions in my practice over the years. I am convinced not only that he is not a Communist, but also that he has no more symr'‘‘hy with the Communists’ philosophy or their political, social, or economic beliefs or methods than does the gentleman from Mississippi or than I do myself. He is utterly devoted to our Ameri­can democratic system and the great principles of liberty, equality, and jus­tice under law upon which it rests. His 307918—B1166 devotion, I suggest, is but the deeper be­cause he springs from a race which has known little but persecution since its history has been recorded; because, alien-born, he does not regard the great blessing of American citizenship so casually as his natural right as do many of us to whom it has come by birth. He is a resourceful and energetic stu­dent of the law and our institutions; a fair-minded and stimulating teacher; always a crusader for justice for the in­dividual; he has become one of the out­standing Justices of the Supreme Court, where he is regarded, I venture to say, by his brethren on the bench, as he is by the profession generally, as somewhat conservative in his views. He has the most profound respect for the Court, for its traditions, and for the law which it has made. I am satisfied, Mr. Chairman, that our American system, our consti­tutional democracy, will come to no evil at his hands. Mr. Chairman, one ..ord more. The gentleman from Mississippi also said that, while in Mississippi the popu­lation is about equally divided between whites and Negroes, at least 90 percent of the casualties during this war from Mississippi have been gentile whites. Mr. Chairman, no group in this coun­try has a monopoly on patriotism. Men of all races, colors, and creeds, whether native- or foreign-born have equally sacrificed their lives or given the best years of their youth in this war. The casualty lists show that, as do the gold stars in the windows of homes, both high and humble, in every city, town, and hamlet, and on the farms throughout the land. I suppose there are not many Jews in the State of Mississippi, but I am convinced that their casualties are in proportion to their number in the population, as they are over the country as a whole. And, if that be not true also of the Negroes, it is due, I am sure, to no lack of courage or patriotism on their part, but rather to these two reasons: First. That, because of poverty and lack of equal educational and economic opportunity for generations, the percent­age of Negro draft rejections on medical and mental grounds is far above the average for other groups. Second. That, to some extent, they may have been given nonconibat service of one kind or another more often than most other groups. Obviously, both of these factors have been quite beyond the control of the Negroes themselves. I am sure the rec­ords of this war will vindicate fully the heroism of the Negro combat soldier. Mr. Chairman, I did not rise in defense of Mr. Justice Frankfurter or of the cour­age and patriotism of minority groups in this country. They need no defense by me. I rose because I could not by remaining silent permit any inference that I acquiesced in the sentiments to which I have taken exception. And. more important by far, because of my deep conviction that whenever we of the majority in this country permit such sentiments to be unchallenged, not only are we guilty of a wrong to the minority groups concerned but we risk the greater danger of brutalizing ourselves. YOUR NEXT SENATOR Egy kimagasló szenátor jelölt. A novemberi választás ki­magasló sznátor jelöltje Clif­ford P. Case kiváló ügyvéd, emberbarát, aki már eddig is négyszer képviselte a new jerseyi polgárságot, mint kon­­greszmen a hatodik választási körzetben. Először 1944-ben vá­lasztották be kongreszmennek, — és azóta négyszer győzött mindig nagyobb és nagyobb szavazattöbséggel. A legutolsó választáson 1952-ben több mint 55.C00 szavazattal győzött — vele történt meg az a rend­kívüli jelenség, hogy kerületé­ben tízezerrel több szavazatot kapotot, mint Eisenhower el­nökünk. Mi Clifford P. Case rendkí­vüli sikerének a titka? Hogyan tett ilyen rendkívüli sikerre szert ez az élete delén járó alig ötven éves férfi •—- aki mögött annyi kimagasló siker áll. Miért érdekli az elnököt annyira Clifford P. Case meg­választása? Ezekre a kérdésekre a leg­könnyebben válás zolhatunk, ha figyelemmel kisérjük Mr. Case pályafutását. Édesapja lelkész volt — aki korán el­hunyt — nagy családot ha­gyott hátra — hat gyermeket; akik között Mr. Case volt a ■ legidősebb. A fiatal fiúra nagy; befolyással volt' nagybátyja1 Clarence E. Case sommervilli State ' szenátor — később • a ' New Jersey-i Supreme Court főbírója. Mr. Case elvégezte a Rutgers Egyetemet, 'ahol korán feltűnt, minden, téren minden­kor kitünően megállotta a he­lyét — kitűnő tanuló volt — aki minden fontos aktivitásban kivette a részét. Az 1925-ik esztendőben beiratkozott a Co­lumbia Egyetem joogi^ osztá­lyára — és miután nyáron is tanult, az egyetemet kétésfél év alatt végezte el. A nyári hónapok alatt a tanulás mel­lett még egy farmon is állást vállalt. Mr. Case ügyvédi diplomája megszerzése után a new yorki Simpsoon Thacher and Bartlett cégnek lett a tagja, később partnere — ahol remek logi­kával, éles elméjével, kitűnő modorával nagy népszerűség­re tett szert. Az 1937-ik évben megválasztották a Rahway Common Council tagjává —• ahol 1942-ig nagyszerű mun­kásságot fejtett ki A fiatal ügyvéd mindig rend­kívüli érdeklődést tanúsítóit miden oly társadalmi tevékeny ség iránt, ahol embertársainak javát szolgálhatta. így válasz­­tototák meg a New Jersey State Assembly tagjává 1943- ban és 1944-ben, mig végre az 1944-ik évben a House of Rep­resentatives tagja lett. Clifford P. Case első beszé­de — amelynek szövegét ezen az oldalono megtalálhatjuk an­golul — általános feltűnést keltett. Már első beszédében, amelyet a kongresszusban tar­tott meg, — a kisebbségi cso­portok védelmére kelt — mert amint beszédében mondotta —• egy csoportnak sincs joga Amerikában, hogy a hazafisá­­got kizárólag magának sajá­títhassa ki. Az sohasem volt igazságos — mondotta Mr. Case első beszédében, hogy millió és millió polgár a ha­tárainkon belül kevesebb jog­gá! rendelkezzék, amikor isko­lázottságról van szó, vagy hogy az állásokban egyforma joga ne legyen. Mr. Case első beszéde óta — sohasem szűnt meg egy percre sem, hogoy polgártár­sainak igazságáért és előbb­­rejutásáért harcoljon. Ezért vá­lasztották be a kongreszusba négyszer egyre nagyobb többséggel — és ezért van el­sőrendű esélye a szenátusi választás során. Természetes, hogy Mr. Case liberális re­kordja és népszerűsége* — : irigységre is alkalmat ad, — temószeíes, hogy mint minden kimagasló embernek, neki is vannak ellenségei. De még el­­, lenfelei is eelismerik — az 6 csaknem egyedülálló remek munkásbarát programját, libe­­rálismusát, képességét és fel­­; készültségéi. j Eisenhower elnök nemrégen j vendégül látta Clifford C. ■ Caset — akinek politikája és } elgondolása teljesen fedi az i elnök gondolkozását A közeli napokban Eisenhower elnök ismét találkozik Clifford P. Casele, akinek megválasztását Eisenhower elnök mellett — a new jerseyi polgársága szere­­tete és hhálája megfogja va­lósítani JOIN THE FIGHT FOR DECENCY!! WAKE UP NEW JERSEY!!
