two communities into college level branches of the university. They told the regents such step is acutely needed to give western Minnesota youngsters something closer to equality of educational op- portunity. In detailed presentations of the case for more higher education facilities in west-em Minnesota, the delegations asserted: Only four of the state's 34 colleges are in the western half of the state. This means that an area producing 27 per cent of Minnesota's high school graduates has only 7 per cent of its college facilities. Youngsters are cheated of chance to get college training because of the distance factor.

While 46 per cent of city area youngsters go to college (the statewide average is 37 per cent), only 20 per cent of the graduates in the Morris area get higher training. Money is being wasted on high school courses in the agricultural schools because consolidation has enabled public schools to take over many functions once served exclusively by the university units at Morris and Crook ston. Edward J. Morrisson, executive vice president of the West Central Education Development association, told the regents that 1,020 high school students have expressed a desire to enroll at Morris by 1961 should the university set up a college-level course. HE URGED regents to en- roll first year college stu dents at Morris next fall, estimating that 340 students would attend.

The 1959 legislature asked the regents to consider establishing college courses at Morris and Crookston and to report back to the legislature and Jan. 15, 1961. Dr. J. L.

Morrill, university president, said he is having the Morns-Crookston situation restudied and that some proposal should be before the regents this winter. HE SAID he felt some progress would have been made in this area already if the 1959 legislative picture had not been "clouded" by 24 communities all asking es tablishment of junior col leges.

THESE ELEMENTS, Dr. Plaut recalls, didn't take at all kindly to the influx of Russian, Romanian, Polish and Lithuanian Jews with their Yiddish, their own clan- nishness and their "strange" Old World ways. A recurrent theme in the book is the dis dain the old settlers had for the newcomers who followed them to this country under the pressures of eastern European absolutism and anti-Semitism. In Minneapolis and Duluth, where these two groups arrived almost simultaneously, they merged without too much difficulty. In St Paul, Dr.

Plaut writes, this was a most difficult process. The establishment of Reform temples, with much of the European Jewish tradition discarded, came partly from the desire of the westernized Jews to maintain a distinction. And Rabbi Plaut's own temple, Mt Zion. wras the foremost example of that trend. The Orthodox synagogues were home to the eastern European Jews, with their much stronger feeling of separation from the outside world and self-sufficient identity.

The American-born children of these eastern European Jews, to whom Ortho doxy was too loreign, felt a need to introduce some elements from their new sur roundings and found a middle ground in the establishments of Conservative synagogues.

Lefkovits knew of no Jew who be longed to Rotary, Kiwanis or the Lions club, and he claimed that there was prob ably not a single Jewish teacher in any of the high schools of Minneapolis. "Finally, he found it passing strange that few Jews, if any, graced the civic commissions and committees of the community." In St Paul, on the other hand, "Jews belonged to a number of social clubs, including the downtown Athletic club, as well as the service clubs. Their numbers were not large and often it was evident that there was a 'Jewish quota'; still, Jews belonged, and those who were made welcome.

It was far from an ideal situation, but in comparison to Minneapolis and many other cities it was superior. "IN BUSLNESS too there was wider diversification in St. Paul than, across the river. Jews were active in banking circles and evn to some degree in heavy in dustry. Most conspicuous of all, they were prominent in positions of civic leadership, such as the presidency of the socially elite Red Cross or the Community Chest." Some of the reasons Dr, Plaut gives for this difference are the much faster eco- nomic growth of Minneap- olis with resulting much keener competition and the much larger proportion of top New England stock in Minneapolis which quickly dominated the Minneapolis scene economically, politically and culturally.

Jews were comparative newcomers to Minneapolis while in St Paul they arrived at the very beginning and took part in the city's development alongside pioneers of other stocks, Dr. Plaut points out THEN, TOO, Minneapolis was overwhelmingly Protestant while the strong Catholic minority in St. Paul became an early ally of the Jews. The Scandinavian ele ment, clannish, in its early days and with little experience with Jews, was much stronger in Minneapolis. In St.

Paul, the racial and national composition was different, including a large number of Germans who felt at home with the strongly Germanized central European Jpu-e.

Rabbi Plaut What, finally, is the rea son for the division of Ameri can Judaism into three dis tinct branches Orthodox, Conservative and Reform unknown to the Jewish communities of the Old World? THESE AND many other provocative questions about one of Minnesota's distinctive minorities are treated with skill, insight and scholarship in the just-published 'The Jews in Minnesota," by Dr. W.

Gunther Plaut. rabbi of Mt Zion Hebrew congregation of St Paul. Minnesota's history is relatively short That of the Jews in the state is somewhat shorter vet This fact adds an extra bit of spice to the story since much of it takes place in the near and immediate past. It's so close that many members of the community today have lived it and hardly can view it as "history." Most Twin Cities Jews of middle age are bound to have personal memories of some of the book's many heroes, such as Rabbis Samuel N. Deinard cf Minneapolis and Isaac L.

Rypins of St Paul, bf Nina and Emanuel Cohen cr Dr. George J. Gordon. Nor, in most cases, would these memories be confined to Jews because every one of these men and women rubbed elbows with the larger community around them and gave service to city, state and nation. AMONG THE most fascinating stories is that of "the Curious Twins, an appellation Dr.

Plaut borrowed from Carey McWilliams. It was the latter, too, who hung the unflattering distinction Of "Capital of anti-Semitism Minneapolis in the 1940s. And, it should be added, it is generally agreed that this title doesn't fit today. Writing about the early in the concluding por- tion cf the book. Dr.
