the decomposition of the Yid-
dish press for purely material-
istic reasons, to inherits circu-
lation, influence and business.
And while under the intoxiaca-
tion of the editorial potion,
Glantz triumphantly brings to
light what he apparently con-
siders a semantic discovery in
the art of derogatory —the
phrase Anglo-Jewishnikes.
What is the truth about your
i m a g i n a r y enemies, Mr.
Glantz? The truth is they have
no intention of inheriting the
Yiddish press either for mater-
ialistic or ideological consider-
ations. How could an Anglo-
Jewish weekly in the heart of
the country stand to gain cir-
culaion from the closing down
of a Yiddish newspaper in
New York? The thesis that
the Anglo-Jewishnikes are
avariciously looking forward to
the day when they can feed
on the carcass of the Yiddish
press is so ugly that we won-
der how it could have occured
to a poet with imagination.
The Anglo-Jewish press is
not the product of a struggle
against Yiddish but the pro-
duct of civilization whose oth-
ness had to be met with dif-
ferent media. We can decry
the situation, we can fight
against it, but we cannot ig-
nore it. If our raisin and al-
mond song has withered, it is
not because we have wanted
it thus, but because it has been
consumed by climate and
othernes s. What is im-
portant is not the tongue
but the theme. In essence,
what matters is not the tongue
in which song is chanted but
that there is song and essence
and meaning. Only the wick-
ed can gloat in the decline of
Yiddish and only fanatics
blinded to truth can see in the
j Anglo-Jewish press an enemy
j to a Jewish civilization whose
extinction is concern for
mourning among all the silen-
Off The Record
By Nathan Ziprin
CORRECTING
A COLUMNIST
My good friend A. Glantz of
the Jewish Day was so over-
come by a pro-Yiddish editor-
ial in the National Jewish Post
that he used it as a jumping
board for splashing indignity
and untruth on the rest of
the Anglo-Jewish press.
As a poet Glantz is entitled
of course to all the poetic priv-
ileges of his clan. But as a
columnist he does ill to his
cause —Yiddish— when he
brutally castigates the Ang-
lo-Jewish press for a crime it
has neither generated nor
committed.
Staunch advocate of Yiddish
that he is, and fervent believ-
er in its future, Glantz only
betrayed a stunning inferiority
complex and a clinging to
doubt when he permitted -en-
thusiasm for the Post editorial
to become a fount of vitupera-
tion against a fine medium of
Jewish cultural expression in
the American Jewish commun-
ity—the Anglo-Jewish press.
It is not my intention to mini-
mize the importance of the
editorial, but if Glantz had
read his own newspaper he
would have noticed some
weeks ago in Dr. Margoshes
column a reprint of an editor-
ial in the Anglo-Jewish press
greeting the Day on the oc-
casion of its fortieth anniver-
sary. At this point it might
perhaps also be advisable to
remind our critic that the
Anglo-Jewish press has at all
timep reacted with warmth
and deep respect to every Yid-
dish moment.
Glantz charges the Anglo-
Jewish press with being among
the assimilationists who yearn
for the extinction of the Yid-
dish press. He accuses the
Anglo-Jewish press of seeking

“ACTION!” IS THE KEYNOTE OF THE rodeo at the Southwestern Exposition and
Fat Stock Show, opening Friday night with two performances daily thereafter through
Sunday, Feb. 6. The wild horse stampede (upper left) calls for cowboys, on foot, to try
to grab a mane and clamber aboard. Other pictures are: Buddy Heaton and his comedy
bucking horse, (upper right); a wild Brahman bull tosses a barrel—and Jimmy Schumacher,
a clown-high in the air; and (lower right) Bill Linderman, great bronc rider, roper and
steer-wrestler, former all-round world’s champion cowboy who will be one of the 400 con-
testants.

Coinage of such ugly mon-
strosity a s “Anglo-Jewish-
nikes” would seem to betray
that dedication. By looking
class of Jews seeking self-ex-
pression in English, Glantz
has neither enhanced his stat-
ure as a journalist nor his rep-
down condescendingly upon a utation as a poet.
