Grafton with an elementary sense
of group loyalty.
To be sure we had our rene
gades and rebels in the past; but
the writers of the Saturday Even
ing Post are neither renegades nor
backsliders. Many Jewish par
ent would consider it the fulfill
ment of his most cherished dream
to raise as able and respectable a
man as Jerome Frank. Even the
skillful tongue twister, Milton
Mayer, does not scott at his Jew
ish heritage as some youthful
rebels have done before. On the
contrary, he goes out of his way
to proclaim his loyalty to the mob
lest there is in Judaism, while
flinging his poisonous pen against
the Jews.
The Franks and the Mayers
may have hurt the Jews, but they,
themselves, are in sense the VIC
TINS of a community which has
failed to educate them in the ten
cts of Judaism and in the discip-
lines of Jewish group life. They
are. indeed, unhappy examples of
a generation which in the words
of the immortal Bialik "is grow
ing up in an atmosphere charged
with phrases and popular refrains,
and fed on things that are mere
breath and wind"
For years the Jewish educator
In America has contended that
Jewish education is not lust a
question of giving expression to
love for Jewish literature. He
brew language and Jewish relig-
ious and cultural values, but es-
sentially a question of the ulti-
mate welfare of our children and
the Jewish community itself. The
Frank-Mayer incident clearly DEM

from an upbringing which substi-
tutes verbalism for sound knowl-
edge of Judaism, and ethical lin

wholesale slaughter of the Jews of
Poland and occupied Russia have
not provoked such violent reaction
as the writings of these two
strangers on the Jewish scene.
We may share in the resent
ment against the presumption of
these two men to speak for peo-
pie whom they have hitherto ig-
nored; we may feel even more out
ragged by the glibness of a self ap-
pointed jeremiah spouting forth
his "ersatz" prophesies against a
society he dislikes and a people he
despises. Such expressions of re-
sentiment do not, however, ex-
plain the electric-like response of
American Jews; neither do they
help us understand how such
writings came into being.
We can assume that the discom-
future of many Jews is due pri-
marily to the fact that the articles
were read by a large number OF
non-Jews. There are still some in
our midst who are naive enough
to believe that the lives and for
tunes of five million Jews can be
kept under cover, and are, there
fore, annoyed when the subject of
Jews and Judaism finds its place
in the public press. But this SEN
sitivity to open discussion of
Jewish problems on the part of
certain elements in our commun-
ity would not account for the in
dignation the articles aroused in
Jews of all shades of opinion and
different walks of life. The case
must be deeper and deserves
greater attention, for it holds the
key to an inner Jewish problem
which has so far escaped the
American Jew.
It is the tragedy of a parent
who realizes that he has lost the
loyalty of his own children and is
seized by the fear of being dis
graced by them at all times and
under all circumstances. The
American Jew sees in these ar
ticles, consciously or unconscious
ly, his own bankruptcy, for having
failed to Undue the second gen.

On December 6, 1941, American
Jewry experienced a miniature
Pearl Harbor in the form OF
treatise on the Jews by Jerome
Frank in the Saturday Evening
Post. This article openly attack
ing traditional Judaism and indl-
rectly impugning the patriotism
of American Zionists, brought
forth a barrage of protests and re-
ordinations which led to an un-
heralded and unsung answer in
the same magazine by Waldo
Frank. Just to square things, the
magazine concluded the series
with the now notorious Cease

nothing has shaken American

Week End Travellers
Swamp Bus Lines

over fifty per cent more people
are riding by bus today than ever
before, according TO F. w. Acker-
man. Vice President of Pacific
Greyhound Lines. While a major
ity of the new bus passengers are
men in uniform and war workers,
Mr.. Ackerman pointed out. pres
ent driving restrictions on private
cars have also created thousands
OF new bus riders, and the ration
ing OF gasoline will soon make
more people dependent on public
transportation.
The Office of Defense Transpor-
tation is now requesting that the
general public voluntarily reduce
their weekend and holiday use of
public carriers, that only trips that
are absolutely necessary be made.
and that such travelling be done on
Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thurs
days.
Service men use the buses in
much greater numbers on Fridays,
Saturdays, Sundays and holidays.
There is no slackening in trans
portation to the war plants, most
of which never close, and week
ends and holidays are Iaso the
favorite travel days for the gener-
al public. AS result buses are
completely swamped on these
days.

tons of scrap metal during a
weeks competitive drive completed

metal will be sold to junk dealers

collection divided as follows:
Sophomore class. 31A percent;
junior class. 26A percent; senior
class, 21A percent, and freshman
class. 21A percent Awards are
based on the amount of scrap met
al collected by each class.
Judges in the contest were Don
Paul, Ralph Darlington and J. G.
Woody.
Students are urged by school of
ficials TO continue their efforts to
bring in all possible scrap metal
this week. At the close of the
