Mrs. FDR Tells JewsGiftofCenter To Negroes Sets World Standard

NEW YORK.—With Mrs. Frank

Jin D. Roosevelt calling it an “extremely significant occasion" that “is a milestone in tlA pattern in relations between g* ^)s here at home” the New Yoik Section, Council of Jewish Women, presented its Council House, a community center in the East Bronx, to Negro residents of that neighborhood. At a public dinner at the Hotel Commodore attended by 1700 persons. the presentation was made by Mrs. Norman Goetz, president of the New York Section to Dr. Channing Tobias. Senior Secretary of the Service to Negro Boys, of the Y. M. C. A., who is a member of the inter-racial board of managers that will assume direction of the community center. Irving M. Engel was toastmaster. Among those seated on the dais were Mrs. Joseph M. Welt of Detroit, national president of the National Council of ?R*Lvish Women; James J. Lyons. Bronx Borough President:

<♦>

George 7. Atedalie. president of the New York Federation for the Support of Jewish Philanthropic Societies; and Judge Hubert T. De-

lany.

Mrs. Roosevelt said that the presentation was of particular significance “because it contributes to the pattern which we hope to develop for the world as a whole.” Pointing out that we will he living in a “very changed world” in which the airplane and other means of fast communication have made us “neighbors to a great variety of people." Mrs. Roosevelt declared that the gift of Council House by the National Council of Jewish Women to the Negro community of the East Bronx, is of the same spirit that should permeate the

Roosevelt, “we can see that this pattern implies an understanding on our part, and on the part of all the groups that make up our people. that what we do 1 here is significant because it makes the pattern for what we intend to do in the world as a whole. If we can get away from thinking of people in lumps—and think of them only as individuals—it would make a difference in all our relations.” Airs. Roosevelt said that what { happens at San Francisco is “very i important to us at home, and to every boy who has fought in this war.” She spoke with pride of the development of the United States nto the world’s greatest! and strongest democracy through the contributions of many races and many

in peace."

In her presentation address. Airs. Goetz recalled that Council House was established on New York’s Lower East Side in 1917. and moved to- the East Bronx in 1929. She told how the change in population in the early 1940’s had developed an almost entirely Negro constituency for Council House, and how the* loaders of the New York Seci tion of Council decided “to main- ! tain the House until the commui nity should be ready to take it from us. Tice old Council House board 'of managers, theretofore exclusively Jewish, took on new members. |—Negro. White. Protestant, and ! Catholic—until in the last months. J with outstanding leaders in the | Bronx and from the immediate ! neighborhood, we began to sec* 1 signs of sufficient strength to carry ! out our long laid plans. And so i tonight we are ready to give Couni cil House away. We are giving it to the Forest House board, but in a larger sense- to the East Bronx
