Resolution Issue Raised
Before House
BY MURIEL LEVIN

WASHINGTON (JTA) - The
question of action by Congress on
the Palestine resolution, which
has been shelved by the House
Foreign Affairs Committee and
by the Senate Foreign Relations
Committee, came up for discuss
ion this week in the House, when
Rep. Samuel Dickstein of New
York announced that he intends
to file a petition to bring the res

side of and in the cherished COM
radeship of our fellow-Jews."
From his earliest years in the
rabbinate, the career of DR.. Wise
has been marked by this same
note of forthrightness. Born in
Budapest, Hungary, in 1874, he
was brought to this country by
his parents when he was only one
year old. He was educated in
New York City, and was only 10
years old when he started his rab-
binical career.
In 1907, when he was only 33
years old, he was asked to become
rabbi of Temple Emanuel, New
York's richest congregation. He
refused this important pulpit be-
cause there was a clause in the
proposed agreement which would
have made him Subject to and
under the control of the Board of
Trustees of the congregation"
DR.. Wise felt that this might have
meant surbordination of his opin-
ions, and if necessary, the truth
to certain groupings within the
congregation. "A free pulpit,
worthily filled, must command re-
spect and influence; pulpit that
is not free, however filled, is sure
to be without potency and honor"
DR.. Wise said then.
So in 1907, he established the
Free Synagogue, which has played
an outstanding role in New York
City ever since.
DR.. Wise helped found the
American Jewish Congress in
1917, and is now serving his Sec
ond period as President. He was
a member of the commission sent
by the American Jewish Congress
to Europe and succeeded in in
fluencing the Peace Conference
after the first World War to in
clude minorities rights clauses in
the peace treaties.
He was among the founders of
the Zionist movement and was
active in getting President Wilson
to give endorsement to the Bal
four Declaration on Palestine. At
the present time, he is especially
occupied in trying to give a sound
directive to the position of the
United States toward the proper
protection for Palestine in the
days to come.
DR.. Wise's wife, Louise Water
man Wise, to whom he was mar
ried in 1900, has gone side by side
with him through the many years
of his active campaigning.

ROOsevelt's Views
On Palestine
Welcomed
BY BERL CORALNIK

JERUSALEM (JTA) -President
Roosevelt's statement on Pales-
tine in which he emphasized that
the United States Government
has never approved the British
White Paper, was unanimously
welcomed by the entire Hebrew
press. It's contents were made
public when Arab newspapers
from Egypt reached this country
carrying the text which had been
suppressed in Palestine by British
censorship.

When a man reaches the age of
seventy and completes fifty years
of activity for the cause of Amer
lean Jewry and progressive
thought in his country, ordinarily,
/ it would be felt, he would be en-
titled to sit back and relax and
let the younger people carry on.
But DR.. Wise, who reached seven
ty on March II, when his anniver-
sary was celebrated by a series of
functions climaXed by dinner at
the Hotel Commodore in New
York given by the American
Jewish Congress and the Zionist
Organization of America, does not
feel that way at all.
Hailed by President Roosevelt,
cabinet members, governors, out
standing leaders throughout the
country, DR.. Wise says that he is
just beginning the fight to win
the detectives for which he has
struggled throughout his life.
More than ever, as DR.. Wise
reaches the milestone of seventy
years, he is forthrightly of the
opinion that American Jewry
must take a firm stand in sup
port of its basic rights and ira
ditions in this country. Amid
the tangled problems presented by
war and its Forthcoming after

greater need than ever for such a
firm position. DR.. Wise is deter
mined to put up his best battle
to see that the Jew occupies his
rightfully deserved place in the
society of nations in the years to
come.
In response to tributes on the
occasion of his birthday, DR.. Wise
put aside himself as person and
stressed the imperativeness OF the
fight itself. He said:
"a mighty task lies before us
to make life tolerable for the sur
vivors of the greatest disaster
that has ever visited the Jewish
people. It can be done. 1t must

CHURCEIILLIANA

Prime Minister Churchill re-
Vealed to DIR. Chain Weizmann
that when in the United States
last, he attempted to convert Ber-
nard Baruch to ZiOniSm. Said the
Prime Minister: 1--WE discussed
ZiOnism for a full hour, but I
couldn't convince him. You ought
to see him, perhaps you'll do bet
ter, DIR. Weizmann." Bernard
Baruch, incidentally, has been
keeping a scrapbOOk containing
all the sIurring references made
about him by anti-Semites. Pag-
ing psychO-analysis! :. At this
writing (althOugh time may make
us a liar) we are told by those
in-the-knOw that, contrary to ru-
mOrS and expectations, there will
be no statement from the British
regarding Palestine before April
1st. ZiOniSts in London are again
being told to have patience ana
that when the war is over every
thing will be squared. Well, per-
haps not squared, but partitiOned.
A new Palestine partition, pro-
posed unOfficialIy by British top
men to Zionist top men is said to
have been among the reasons for
David hen GuriOn's resignation
from the craftsmanship of the
Jewish Agency Executive and for

Zionist leaders convened by DIR.
Weizmann. However, the confer
ence has been called off, and
David ben GuriOn has reaSsumed
his office, which would Indicate
that partition is off the agenda-

imminent talk between DR.. Abba
Hillel Silver and DR.. Nahum
Goldman on activities in Wash

about the duplication of Jewish
political activity in Washington,
and DR.. Goldman, some say, is
critical of the manner in which

ganization to be invited
In Washington the Soviet embassy told
FP that the NAM wrote them a letter
some time ago. not inviting the UsSR,
but asking if there were any private"
enterprise group in Russia which they
could invite The insistence on a "pri-
vate" group stymied the embassy be-
cause-as the NAM and the C. Of C.
must Russian business is publicly

There is, however, a Russian business
group that could attend this congress
most appropriately-it is the All-Union
Chamber Of Commerce, with headquar-
ters i'm Moscow If the NAM really in
tended to invite the USSR. it could have
obtained the name Of this organization
as we did-by telephoning the consulate
of the USSR here. But the letter to
Washington stressing private" business
indicates that not only has the NAM
not invited Russia, but has no intention
of inviting her.
Since President Eric Johnston of the
U. S. chamber, back from a business
mission to Russia, has been making pub
lie statements about the Importance Of
the Soviet Union as a market for Amer
lean business after the war and the i'm
portance of her cooperation in inter-
national trade, this latest development
indicates a rift in the C. Of C. While
Johnston told the press here there was
no reason why a capitalist America
and a communist Russia could not CO.
operate for the prosperity Of both after
the war evidently a dominant group in
ths C. of C. still regards the USSR as
a sort Of stepchild in international eco

Frosting the rims of your glasses
is a nice touch, requiring a little
care, but the ice-cold appearance

the trouble. Frosting can be done
by dipping the rims Of the glasses

filling them.
One of the best ways TO make
really cool-looking, attractive
drinks is to use sparkling water
