Majority of Country Clubs h Uima CxsUe Jews I

More than half of Indiana’s thirty-seven country clubs bar Jews from membership. A survey made by the Indiana regional office of the Anti-Defama-tion League of B’nai B’xdth shows that only 16 of the clubs admit Jews on a non-discriminatory basis. The clubs admitting Jews ai’e usually in the smaller communities where few Jews reside. In Indianapolis, Gary, Hammond, Evansville and South Bend, where the majoxdty of the state’s Jews live, the discrimination is most evident. Either by bylaws in the constitution or the just as effective membership committees, Jews find they are blocked when they seek admission. Nine of the 37 clubs stop Jew-

ish membership by bylaws, and five others achieve the same end by unofficial rules. In the case of seven other clubs a vague quota system does the job. In the operation of. the quota system, the peculiar ethics of the country clubs emerge. When the club’s finances need stimulation, Jews are admitted. But as soon as the club’s finances revive, the bars go up again for good or until another financial crisis develops. Another uncomplimentax'y aspect of the quota system involves Jews. The investigation of the ADL office, headed by Robexd Gordon, showed that Jews blackball other Jews. Gordon ascribed this to vengefulness when one Jew used the blackball as a social weapon against another Jew. Another rea-

son was that Jews in the club feared that admitting mox’e Jews might cause a dispx*oportionate number of Jewish members. The survey tux-ned up the fact that discrimination was not always a black mark against only the nonJewish countx'y clubs. Of the three Jewish country clubs in Indiana, none admit nonJews. The non-Jews were barred in several ways. One was a ruling of the club. The second was a pro vision that the applicant be a mem« ber of a congregation and contra bute to the local fund-raising drive. One of the three Jewish clubs is considei’ing a revision of its ruling barring non-Jews, Gordon said. The survey showed that the clubs which did admit Jews were usually not the top status club in the community. In one northern Indiana community where Jews were barred, this proscription was broken down by editorial attacks in the daily press. The club had a Jewish charter member, but no other Jews wex'c admitted following his death, until the newspapers took after the offending club. The survey is part of a natioiiF wide study by the ADL’s 25 regional offices. It will be embodied in a repoi*t on social discrimination in America soon to be issued.
