Hebrew School Pupils
To Be Honored Sunday

Washington Jewry for the first
time will turn out to honor more
than 200 newly enrolled pupils of
the Hebrew schools here at a cele-
bration Sunday at the Jewish Com
munity Center.
This large new enrolment, Chair
man J. A. Kamerow said, was due
to the campaign Of the Washington
Hebrew education month, Septem-
Der 10 to October 10.
All rabbis in the city, as we'll as
faculty members of the schools and
officers Of all Jewish organizations,
have been invited to attend. The
program will include choral num-
bers by the students, plays, declama-
tions and q pageant Of Jewish
events.
Mr.. and Mrs. I. S. Turover will
be hosts. Refreshments will be
served. Rabbi Henry Siegel Of the
B'nai Israel Congregation and Tai
mud Torah will be the speaker. Mr..
Kamerow will preside.

battle and how long 1t will take
them to concentrate such a force
in the French held airdromes is
Of great Importance. The Nazis
have been losing planes In Russia
and they are now losing planes in
the battle along the Egyptian
Libyan frontier. But their raids
against Britain are rare and
sporadic. Their fighter detach-
ments seldom rise to oppose the
incursions Of the Allied bombers
over France and Western Ger
many.
Whether this slowing down Of
activities in the west Is due to a
shortage Of aircraft and pilots or
whether 1t Is due to the fact that
the German high command Is
keeping all its strength in reserve
for an eventual Allied attack is
q question which the Allies would
like to see answered. And that
answer might make all the dif-
ference between success and
failure.

surrounds the Reich factories.
It is possible to obtain informa-
ton about what is being pro-
duced in France and Belgium or
Holland and 1t is equally possible
to find out what the Italian fac
tories at Turin and Milan are
turning out. But the reports Of
production In Germany and
Czechoslovakia usually amount
to nothing.
Hence, all kinds Of rumors and
reports are being substituted for
facts. One Of these reports
claims the Germans have been
able to develop q new strato-
sphere bomber which can fly at
q speed Of 400 miles an hour
and drop heavy bombs accurate
ly from 10000 feet.
French Planned Bomber.
The reports generally come
from more or less reliable French
sources and are based on the
fact that before 1910 the French
engineers had partially COM
pleted plans for a bomber ap-
proximating characteristics
credited to the new Nazi ma
chimes. The French assume that
their blueprints have been
handed over to Reichmarshal
Hermann Goering's specialists
and have been completed and
executed.
While our production figures
and military and naval strength
are periodically made public,
either in speeches or in congrat-
ulatory exchanges between the
heads of our armed forces, it is
very difficult for the Allied high
command to ascertain with any
degree OF accuracy the Axis re-
serve power. We know what
forces are fighting in Russia and
have q pretty good idea Of the
German forces in occupied West
ern Europe. We also know now
what troops and tanks are at the
disposal Of Field Marshal Erwin
Rommel. But we do not know

By Factions Opposing the Administration

istrators on whom they have delib-
erately inflicted sheu-shock, aren't
keener, more dashins, pinker In the
cheek and brighter in the eye.
Not True Of III Spokesmen.
We hear tell that the administra-
ton ought to listen more deferen-
TALLY when the opposition speaks,
and pay more attention to its theo-
ries.
Yet two major opposition lines
are that the administration ought
to put q single military figure in
charge Of the war effort, and that
1t ought, also. to get more war goods
to the fighting fronts. Now it is
quite obvious to Washington observ-
ers that most Of our military figures
want to keep as much goods within
the United States for training pur-
poses as possible; that the adzainis-
tration has to fight every step Of
the way to get war goods out of
the country, particularly to our
Allies. If the administration sur
rendered control to the military,
lease lend would almost certainly be
affected.
When, therefore, the opposition
suggests turning the war effort over
to a non-elected, professional mil
itary head. is 1t thinking Of the
fighting fronts, or Is it thinking OF
getting that man out Of there?
A good part Of the opposition is
either amazingly innocent, or amaz-
ingly unconcerned. That Is GER
tainly not true Of all opposition
spokesmen. There has been fine
and thoughtful oppositional work
done, by such as the Truman Com
mittee and Wendell Willkie. The
odd thing IS that the best opposi-
tional showing comes from those
who rarely label themselves the
opposition. The best and hardest
blows, oddly enough, are delivered
by men who never seem to be In
need of explaining that they are
really sincerely behind the leaders
Of our effort.

what Is behind them on the home
front.
The absence Of accurate In
formation makes our operational
planning difncult. For instance,
II We were to attempt some sort
OF an action in West Africa be-
tween the Gull Of Guinea and
the Mediterranean, we might ex-
pect opposition from Nazi avia-
ton. Such an action, II 1t were
decided on, would be necessarily
an amphibious operation and the
air resistance Of the enemy
would have to be taken into con-
sideration.
Surprise Element Discounted.
It is well that there are q num-
Der Of up-to-date airdromes along
the Atlantic Coast Of Africa and
many more inland. All of them
are equipped with modern instru-
ments and many have runways
capable of accommodating the
largest types Of bombers. Others
are suited only for fighters and
pursuit planes but are 50 well
concealed and protected that 1t
would be difncult to damage them
from . carrier biased air fleet.
It is equally known that they
lack oil and that the French
planes sheltered there are old
crates" incapable Of competing
with modern planes.
But we do not know whether
the Germans have an ample re-
serve Of planes in the Reich or In
Western Europe to rush across
the Mediterranean at q given
time to oppose an Allied force.
The surprise element. should
such an operation take place,
must be largely discounted since
in the last few weeks the Berlin
and Vichy radios have been CIV

intend to. land in French North

BY SAMUEL GRAFTON.
I always try to understand what
the opposition to the administra-
ton is saying. That Is my duty.
The opposition, according to theory,
should be shaft Of light. It should
show the way through dark places.
It should recharge my batteries. But
I leave 1t to you.
AS understand the opposition
land mean the tight, hard core Of
opposition to Roosevelt that over
laps party lines. 1t believes that
American business has made q fine
record tn the war, but that the
Governments production program is
in a muddled and chaotic state.
As to how the opposition can
entertain both beliefs simultane-
ously, no explanation is given. Thus
I read In one organ that Washing
ton piles confusion on confusion" "
and in the same issue that Detroit
has pushed its war production to
5000, 100000 a year, 10 per cent
above peacetime highs. What goes
on here? Isn't Detroit in the United
States? Isn't 1t connected in some
way with the administrators pro-
gram?
But the problem Of giving Detroit
credit without letting a little spill
over on Donald Nelson and Mr..
Roosevelt seems insuperable, and 1t
is merely shucked.
Signs Of Split Personality.
We next come to the opposition's
stand on the delicious question of
individual freedom. I have heard
the opposition say that We have to
watch this administration lest 1t kill
all personal liberty under excuse Of
the war. I have also heard 1t re-
mark bitterly that the administra-
ton refuses to draft workers for
necessary war jobs and that 1t re-
fuses to wipe out overtime-pay
clauses in labor contracts.
This curious ambivalence, these
tendencies to schizophrenia, had
better be watched. They show up on
the dual proposition that this ad-
ministration invariably plays politics
with pressure groups and also that it
tries to reduce Congress to a rubber
stamp. Both theories simply can't
be true. Another pert dualism is
that this administration goes much
too far in the direction of national
planning and that it Is much too
unconcerned about what happens to
the food supply (mostly coffee
supply Of the, average citizen.
This particular dichotomy has
quite a history. It is precisely
those publications which for years
have tried to picture all government
as clown, all administration as a
cross between the idiotic and the
sinister, which now want to know
why Government can't plan things
a little better so that no coffee cup
may go empty without Washington
knowing Of 1t.
They have for years fought to
unsell their readers on the merits
Of Government planning; they have
conducted an expensive educational
drive to create distrust Of planning.
Now they want to know why admin

by GOULD LINCOLN.
The Republican gains in Tues
days elections should have Z
sobering effect. This country is
at war-perhaps the most Sc
rious crisis In the Nations his
tory.
COP victory In many Of the
great States gives the Repub-
lican members no license to play
partisan politics In considering
war. measures which come be-
fore the Congress. Rather 1t i'm
poses on the Republicans the
duty of using their best efforts
to aid the Democratic adminis-
tration in every conceivable way
to win the war.
The Republicans in Congress
have been tremendously short
sighted in the past. They de-
clined to be realistic about the
situation which existed Tor many,
many months before the jap
-anese attack upon Pearl Harbor.
1t is true that they, and the vast
majority Of Americans, did not
wish to become engaged in this
war. But that was no excuse for
not voting for the measures Of
national defense advocated by
the administration.
The country has increased the
Republican membership Of both
Houses OF Congress materially.
It has done so not for any par
ticular love Of the COP or for
any constructive program which
the Republicans have put for
ward. 1t has done so because 1t
was dissatisfied with the con-
duct of the war by New Dealers
particularly with their failure
to meet the problems Of supply
In this country.
Criticism Due fof Democrats.
If the Republicans have been
at fault in the past over this
foreign situation-now the war
the Democrats cannot escape
criticism, either. There has been
a tendency on the part of the
administration to run the war
as It's own particular enterprise
failing to make use Of the
brains and abilities Of all Ameri-
cans qualified to give the re-
quired services.
In some quarters it has been
urged 1t was q mistake to hold
elections this year-in the midst
Of war. The suggestion is made
that because Of politics, the ad-
ministration and the party in
control of Congress-and the mi
nority in Congress, too, has failed
to do things that would have
helped.
Who knows, however, whether
the party in control Of the Gov
ernment would have done any
better If it had not had to face the
electorate7 1t would have been
In q position to run its own sweet
way. with no responsibility to the
voters. The only way the Amer
ican people can have voice in
the conduct of the war is through
elections. .. -... ..
The British, 1t has been urged,
have failed to hold elections since
the beginning OF the war, going
ahead with 4 coalition govern
ment. In the British system of
government, however, 1t is pos
sible to bring . turnover In the
direction Of government by =
majority vote in the House Of
Commons, should the British
people and their representatives
determine that a shake-up Is
necessary. There is no such pos
sibility here.
Should Key Up Party.
The effect of the election on
the party In power in this coun-
try should be to make that party
more careful and eager to corr
rect mistakes which have been
made.

political campaign. Apparently
they were not apathetic 6 the
results indicate. One reason for
the widespread opinion that the
voters were ninterested in the
elections was the attitude Of the
newspapers Of the country. A
great many Of them satisfied
themselves with writing that the
people were apathetic and let It
90 at that.
The newspapers themselves
were apathetic. They were UNI
willing, apparently. to give space
to the political campaign. Four
weeks, three weeks, two weeks
before the elections were held
daily newspapers scarcely men,
toned the fact that candidates
for the Senate and House were
engaged in Nationwide races.
The B.. ne press expended thou
sands of columns to let the
people know what was happen
ing In the race for . baseball
pennant.
In these war times, the election
Of q Congress which has to make
the laws was entitled to consider
alton and did not warrant q
brush-on. If the people seemed
to lack interest, the press at least
was In . position to stimulate
interest through Its news and
editorial columns.
Spectacular Sweep.
The Republican sweep was
spectacular in that practically all
Of the great, populous, industrial
States which held Statewide
elections either for Governor or
Senator or for both were car
ried by the Republican candi-
dates. This was true In New
York, Pennsylvania, Illinois,
Michigan, California, Massachu-
sets, Connecticut and Ohio for
example. In addition. many Of
the other States, more asricul-
tural In character, also elected
Republican candidates to the
Senate and to the Governors
chair.
It Is easy to 60 on from there
to speculate on what might have
happened had there been .
Nation wide presidential elec-
ton. Not 80 easy to arrive at a
conclusion, for personalities and
national issues would have
entered into such q contest on =
large scale. 1t is something,
however, to give the political
leaders in the party in control Of
the Government food for thought.
Shifts Majority Makeup.
The last previous wartime elec-
ton in 1918 showed no greater
turn over in party places in Con-
sress than did Tuesdays, II for
no other reason than that the
Republican party, then q minor
ity party in Congress as it is to-
day, had more to start with.
In the 65th Congress there
were 216 Republicans in the
House, 210 Democrats and nine
Independents OF one kind or an
other. The Democrats orga-.
f1ized the House, with the aid of
the independent votes. After the
1918 elections, in the 66th Con-
gress, the House make up was 237
Republicans, 19l Democrats and
seven independents. This was .
gain Of ~ seats for the Repub-
licans.
In the 65th Congress, the Re-
pubhcans held ~ Senate seats,
the Democrats So and one inde-
pendent. After the election the
Republicans had 4S Senate seats,
the Democrats. Al, and one in
dependent. The Republicans
picked up six seats In that
election.
Obviously, the Republicans and
more conservative Democrats in
the new Congress will constitute
majorities In both Senate and
House. And just as obviously,
this is a hard blow to the New
Dealers.
