jews TO KEEP
new YEAR IN
2-DAY RITES
Rosh Hashanah Will Be
Observed at Local Syna-.
gogue Next Week

Ushering in the Jewish year,
569S, the blowing of the rams
horn in synagogues throughout
the world next Monday will call
adherents of Judaism to reflec-
ton and repentance.
Religious services on two days
for Orthodox Jews will be beld
in observance of this new year
holy day, known in Hebrew as
Rosh Hashanah. Services here
will he conducted in the local
synagogue at 7:15 p. m. Sunday,
Q a. m. Monday, 7:15 p. m. Mon
day, and Q a. m. Tuesday.
Since the Hebrew day is reck-
oned from sunset to sunset, the
holy day begins this year on Sun
day evening, September D. Kosn
Hashanah literally means the
beginning of the year." and
marks the start of the season
known in Jewish tradition as the
Ten Days of Penitence.
During this season, Jews arc
reminded that all mankind passes
in Judgment before its Creator
and are called upon to Judge
themselves, repent and go forth
with new resolve for righteous &C
ton in the year which faces them;
The ten days of penitence ma
their climax in Yom Kippur, the
Day of Atonement, and the sea-
SON as a whole is the most I'M
portant in the Jewish religious
calendar. . -. e..
The traditional greeting for
this holy day is "May you be IN
scribed for good year." This
form of address goes back TO a
noetic thought of the deity as
writing in a huge ledger the va
rious fortunes assigned to each
of his children. -, ,
Jewish legend declares that
the world was created on the
first day of Tishri. Thus Rosh
Hashanah is referred to in the
Orthodox prayer book as the
birthday of the world" The days
background is therefore one OF
universalism and not of partlcu-
lariSm.

Chang. Kai-shek made his apol.

Chinese military leader in Nam

Earlier, reports to the state de.
partment indicated that tension
in Chinese waters had eased and
that plans to reinforce the Amer

doned temporarily. Secretary OF
State Cordell Hull, however, said
the plan to augment the U. s.
Asiatic forces still was being con-
sidered in relation to the safety
of Americans in the Sino-Japan
csc battle areas.

Mr.. Roosevelt, who said Tues

Roper's optimism was baseo

their blockade of the Chinese
