...political chorus of opposition swelled to a roar. Manhattan Borough President Hulan Jack, a Negro, snapped that "it would be unfortunate if the most recent minority groups to arrive here were to be singled out by being deprived of the advantages former newcomers to the city enjoyed." Acting State Supreme Court Justice Emilio Nunez, Spanish-born, condemned his fellow immigrant, Judge Leibowitz, for an "unAmerican outburst."
