Eight-Day Celebration
OF Passover Starts in.
Jewish Homes TODAY
Families Will Guther at
TobIe at Sundown to
Symbolic the Exodus

Symbolizing the exodus of the
1sraelites from Egypt and their 40
years in the wilderness, Jewish
homes today will start their eight
day celebration Of Passover.
Jewish families will gather around
the table at sundown for the Seder,
which tells the story of the Passover.
Unleavened bread, or matsos, and
bitter herbs will be eaten to symbol
ize the flight and the hard days of
wandering.
IN orthodox synagogues, services
Will begin at sundown and will be
held again tomorrow and Wednes-
DAY mornings. A special service will
be held IN the Washington Hebrew
congregation Temple tomorrow at
lo:45 am, with Rabbi Norman Ger
stenfeld discussing THE Ideal of
Freedom"
Young mems and women's Hebrew
associations throughout the United
States will hold public Seder rites
tonight and tomorrow night and the
Hebrew Sheltering Society will cele-
bate Passover both nights for tram
sients and those without family con-
nections.
Enlisted Jewish men in the Army.
Navy, Coast Guard and c. c, C.
Will be granted furloughs for the
holidays and the United States Vet
erans' Administration will also grant
leave to disabled Jewish veterans If
their condition permits. Unleavened
bread and prayerbooks will be dis
tributed by the Jewish Welfare
Board to enlisted men of Jewish
faith.
At the beginning of the Seder
service, the youngest member of the
household traditionally asks his
father four questions to find out
why is this night different from
all other nights"
To answer him, the father tells
the story Of the hurried departure
from Egypt, explaining that un-
leavened bread is eaten because the
Jews left with the dough that had
been prepared for baking the fol-
lowing day. Bitter herbs remind the
Jews OF the suffering of their fore
fathers in the wilderness.
During the service, the door is left
open to signify a welcome to hungry
travellers and an empty chair is
left at the table.
Frank L. We'll, president of the
National Jewish Welfare Board, New
York, in Passover message broad
cast yesterday over a Nationwide
hookup urged his radio audience to
leave nothing undone to assure the
continuance of our great democracy
in the form in which it was con-
ceived, fought for and dedicated by
the Revolutionary fathers"
This is essential, he indicated,

be kept burning brightly in Amer

those of two specific Indian groups
One of these is the Algonkin-S -Sho-
shonean family. The Algonkins oc-
cupied most of the Atlantic Sea-
board of North America as far south
as North Carolina in the 18th and
early 18th centuries. The Shosho-
means. split into many subgroups
were the people of California. AL
though speaking entirely distinct
languages, these peoples had various
physical characteristics In common
The second major group is the
Piman- Aztec, of the same family as
the highly advanced Indians con-
quered by Cortez in Mexico.
Similarities Apparent.
If the Angara bones were mixed
with the bones of these two Indian
races. DR.. Hrdlicka said, an expert
enced anthropologist could not sort
them. But when the Siberian bones
are studied apart, he explained,
the similarities to the men of the
late ice age in Europe and Asia be-
come apparent. The Angarans lived
several thousand years after the re-
treat of the ice.
Although no physical types cor
responding to the Indians are found
in this region today. DR.. Hrdlicka
said, he found many individuals,
both men and women, who could
hardly be distinguished from In
dians along the northern Yenisei
River, one of the great streams of
Siberia of which the Angara is a
tributary.
Studying skulls in museums scat
tered over Russia, DR.. Hrdlicka
said, he found group after group
from the native populations with
strong resemblances to both the In
dians and the Eskimos, whom he
believes to be closely related peoples.
1t now is generally admitted, DR..
Hrdlicka said, that the homeland
of the Indian must have been in
Siberia and that the original road
by which the American continent
was peopled was by way of Kam-
chatka and Alaska. Present Siberian
aboriginals have various physical
and cultural resemblances to the
Indians, but these are not close
enough to constitute unbroken links.
