Four American housewives,
members of the Panel of
Americans, recently spoke at
a campus YWCA-sponsored
meeting on subjects includ
ing inter-racial marriages,
segregated living units, hous
ing discrimination laws and
fair employment practices.
These four women, with the
moderator Mrs. M. M.
Fleische, all live In Omaha.
Exploring problems of racial
differences, these women
speak only for themselves
and not for their particular
religion, ancestry or color.
A Catholic, Mrs. James
rrodson's father was a south
ern Baptist before he changed
faiths. Mrs. Dodson said that
althongh she is Catholic, she
did not vote for President
Kennedy.
She said that her church
had taught her truths of life
as shown by Christ and pro
vided a set of ideals. The
church teaches me that ev
eryone has equal worth in
the eyes of God, she said.
Mrs. Warner Frohman, or
iginally from St. Joseph, Mo.,
is active in Jewish and civic
organizations in Omaha. She
explained that when she was
young her closest friends
were not Jewish and that her
Jewish friends resented her
non-Jewish friends. She went
on to say that she was sur
prised by the high school sep
aration and how she was ex
cluded from the evening so
cial activities. Mrs. Frohman
spoke often of the "five
o'clock shadow" which pre
vails in the life of the Jewish
young person who lives in an
inter-faith atmosphere.
Her husband is a naturalized
citizen from Germany and
the family does not live in a
self-segregated Jewish area.
She said that her family does
not feel that the segregated
area is the only place where
they feel easy. She hopes to
be able to spare her daugh
ter the pain and suffering of
an inter-faith marriage.
Mrs. Aubrey Wise, a Ne
gro said that she lives on an
axiom of her great-grandfather's:
'"be of use to society
and extend out to other peo
ple." She said that she was
raised in an integrated neigh
borhood where her best friend
was white and that she 4id
not realize that "bad feelings
existed until she was in sixth
grade. My parents taught me
that bitterness is an unpro
ductive emotion, she said.
She cited several incidents
of discrimination showed
against her or her son who
attended Cretehton Universi
ty. Her family now lives in a
white neighborhood, and Mrs.
Wise said that she considers
herself lucky because she had
parents who taught her early
the value of an education.
She also said that she was
gratified because her husband
has had the rare chance to
advance according to his abil
ity and that she can contrib
ute time to civic activities
that she feels worthy.
Mrs. Wise also said that
she wants this for all Negro
women in Omaha. "I also
want to be recognized first as
myself and a proud second as
a race," she said.
Mrs. William Adkins, a Pro
testant, said thai as the child
of an army engineer she lived
in nearly every section of the
United States and Japan. Her
parents were divorced and
both of them remarried.
A courtship of six weeks be
fore her own marriage proved
to her her pet theory that you
naed not be sure you are like
your neighbor in order to be
loving, she said.
"I deplore the method of
Telegating the Negro to a sec
ond place position, tout you
defeat your purpose toy hav
ing the air of the crusader,
she said. Mrs." Adkins is ac
tive in organizations which
have memberships of people
of all races.
She feels that things would
be better If people acted as
individuals, not as a group.
Our children know the way
we feel because we live In a
relaxed and happy atmos
phere and meet all people on
the same level. A sense of
humor is a good accomplish
ment to a sense of brother
The first question asked by
the audience was on inter
faith marriages. Mrs. Dodson
said that she hopes that her
children will marry in the
same faith, but she pointed
out the problem that she did
not want to tlimit the friend
ships in youth.

eeting
body, but it must be on the
basis of personalities, not
about the growth of the Black
Muslim movement in Omaha
and what the city planned to
do about it.
Mrs. Wise said that al
though she was a Protestant,
her son married a Catholic
girl. "I had no feeling as a
parent, but I am very happy
for him and want him to be
happy in his new faith," she
said. However, I prefer to
have my children marry Ne
gro people because society ts
not ready for inter-racial
marriages. There are many
problems in marriage with
out adding another one, she
said.
Mrs. Adkins said that she
also felt that the best success
of a marriage would come if
the two had similar back
grounds. Mrs. Wise said that Omaha
is a very prejudiced, dogmat
ic city in connection with in
tegrated housing districts.
Most of the Negroes live in
the south part of the city or in
the near north, she said.
She explained that wVn a
Negro family buys or builds
thev must do so in this area.
or if they are lucky, they may
go Just outside tKs oonnaary
line into the fringe area.
However, this fringe area
soon becomes part of the to
tally segregated area.
Mrs. Frohman, who had be
longed to a Jewish sorority
while in college, said in ans
wer to a question on segre
gated sororities that she
would encourage her daugher
tint to ioin a sorority and
hopes that she goes to a col
lege that does not nave a
Greek system.
The panel said the follow
ing cities were probably the
least segregated in connection
with jobs and housing: len
ver, Minneapolis, St. Paol,
Kansas City and cities on the
east and west coasts.
The housewives were asked
how children can be taught
not to be prejudiced.
Mrs. Adkins said to tell the
children that you will not
have ugly words which de
grade races and religions and
that they must be broad and
go outside their own circle of
friends.
"Children should toe taught
to be tolerant, understanding
and to reach out to others,
she said.
Mrs. Frohman said to teach
' the children that they do not
have to love and like even-
Children should learn early
in school that all children are
made in the image of God
and this will make it harder
for them to hate in later life,
she said.
Mrs. Fleische agreed with
a foreign student that public
opinion is the greatest re
tarding factor in ending dis
crimination. The panel was questioned
Mrs. Wise explained that
the organization was led by
a man who has everything
to lead the people, but the
bad aspects of the movement
overshadow the good.
"I shudder at the idea of
Black Supremacy and it is
so easy to get caught up
in the movement because of
emotion," she said.
The movement is gaterhing
momentum and in less than
five years it will be a prob
lem in Omaha, she saia.
When there are 30,000 Ne
groes hi Omaha that cannot
effectively organize and a
handful of Negroes become
strongly organized, it is
frightening to the Negro per
son who does not believe in
either white or black supre
macy. Mrs. Frohman said that she
could see how it attracts the
impatient Negro; but we must
understand how it could hap
pen and not condone it.
Mrs. Fleische said that if
the movement snowballs, she
would be scared for her
self as a white person, but
she added that if she were an
impatient Negro she would
probably be for it.
