A fine educational booklet, the
pamphlet should be a valuable
aid to so many of our Jewish
leaders who have long express
ed the need for significant ma
terial and data on the subject
of internal education.
In reference to the situation
today. the pamphlet asserts:
THE standard of Jewish con-
duct, however. has not changed.
and today. as in the past. the
Jew is heir to a hallowed and
consecrated way of life which
has served the Jewish people as
a source of strength through the
ages. In this path they travelled.
withstanding persecution and dis
elimination and fearing no evil
for the Lord was with them.
"A sacred duty rests upon each
Jew of today to cherish that
heritage and to maintain the
high standard of Jewish life IL
all phases of social relations
Modern guardians of that drt'
are not. as in the past organic
ed legally constituted councils G,
lay leaders or rabbinical sYnods.
but rather the conscience of the
individual Jew and the attitude
of the Jewish group in each COM
munitY. There is. however. need
of an agency which will carry
on the Jewish tradition of call
ing community attention TO the
necessity of eternal. vigilance
against the relaxation of high
ethical and moral standards.
The Community Service De-
partment of the Anti Defamation
League strives to meet that need
by its efforts to remind the Jews
of America of their obligation tc
preserve their precious heritage
BY It's program OF action it seeks
to translate that heritage into q
vital power in American Jewish
life. This program is not merely
an answer to vilifiers of the
Jewish name. Properly under.

 Free 10 Alaska Kids

Santa is coming from Seattle in- stead of the North Pole this year for thousands of Alaska children who are faced with bleak Christ mas due to the marine tie-up. Seattle civic organizations have laid plans for flying four tons of Christ mas presents to Alaska children who otherwise would receive few gifts this year.
 Heading the movement is L. J. Dowell, public relations counselor for Pan American World Airways, who is working with tEe Seattle Nile Temple and Shrine clubs in Alaska and Seattle, and with busi- ness men interested in Alaska's s welfare.
 Close to 5000 Christmas packages containing balloons, candy, nuts, cookies, oranges and apples will be distributed to Alaska children from Ketchikan to Nome.
 Dowell said Pan American re- ceived permission Monday from the CAB to carry the four planeloads of gifts free of charge, and Shrin- CTS in each of the Alaska cities have volunteered to assist in distrl- button. Parties are being planned by them or jointly with other local organizations for the children in the communities.
 In Juneau, Pan American AirWays Manager Dick Johnson said that nkout G59 gift packages will Dc dis tributed with the Shriners deliver ing 200 and $50 being distributed by the Juneau Elks Lodge at their Christmas movie party next Sat- urday for the youngsters

WASHINGTON, Dec. 16.--Alaska appeared today to be on the long awaited verge of pulp-timber de- velopment.
 Conversations have teen under way for many months with several interests who are actively seeking to develop the pulp and paper in dustry in the Territory" Secretary of Interior J. A. Krug told a re- porter.
 Krug estimates that Alaska can produce 100000 tons of newsprint a year-a quarter of the nations needs.
 From Senator Carl Hayden D- Ariz) chairman of the joint com mittee on printing, came an intima- ton that if private industry con- tinues to be slow about Alaskan development, the government may have to take a hand.
 Nobody wants the government to build paper mill up there if private industry will do so," the Senator told reporter.
 But we have to print the Con- gressional Record-and we have to have paper to do it.

The WaShinqton Merry -Go- Round
By DREW PEARSON

WASHINGTON-There was one important fact unknown to the thousands of veterans who flood ed the White House with protests against the firing of Housing Ad- ministrator Wilson Wyatt.
 What these protestants did not know-and they included Veterans of Foreign Wars commander Louis Starr, Amvets commander Ray Sawyer, and American Veterans Committee commander Charles Bolte-was that the American Le- eion, influenced by the powerful real estate lobby, helped administer the last death blow to Wyatt and his veterans housing program.
 The American Legion's skillful drive against the housing program began last September just before its San Francisco convention, when the powerful National Association of Home Builders sent lobbying instructions to its members to but tonhole Legion delegates and do their best to undermine the Wyatt housing program.
 Determine from your local coun- ty and state American Legion of- ficers who the delegates are to the convention," the Home Builders lobby advised. Talk to every Le- gionnaire you know to prevent any resolution endorsing Wyatt's hous- ing program for veterans.
 However, the mass of Legion naires at San Francisco rallied to the defense of Wyatt and his hous- ing program; so temporarily the real estate lobby lost.
 But not for long. As com- promise a picked committee of Legionnaires was appointed to study housing. And last week, Ma tional Commander Paul Griffith called on President Truman and spent nearly an hour cutting the ground out from under Wilson Wy att. the man who has done his best to build homes Tor veterans.
 Griffith told Truman he was con- vinced the present housing setup should be abolished and placed in the hands of an emergency board, working in unison with the Fed eral Housing Administration. He argued that the great majority Of war vets do not want to buy, and do not have the money to buy homes in the current high market. There efore, more multiple units for renting should be built tThe lat ter, incidentally, was the same recommendation previously made by WyattD

JUN ASSEMBLY ENDSSESSI0N

Significant Achievements Aifained- World Dip|o-
 mats Going Home
By JOHN A. PARRIS. JR.


 NEW YORK, Dee 16-The Unit ed Nations Assembly turned over to the Remember Security Council today the monumental task of set ting into motion program for reducing the armies of the world and destroying the mass destructive weapons of war.
 Ending an historic eight weeks session at 12;44 am tESTD, the top diplomats of 54 nations gave the world it's first concrete hope for outlawing war and then head ed for home after writing another chapter in mans long search for peace.
 The next regular meeting will be held in New York next Sept l6, hut the Assembly may be called into special session in six months to approve worldwide arms reduc- tions which the Security Council is to plan in detail
 III tlit Nduittt bOiu-dild do- sembly hall at Flushing Meadow Park, the worlds diplomats gave a solemn pledge that their countries would support immediate steps to. reduce their armed forces and pro hibit the use of the atomic bomb.
 Significant Work
 This was regarded as the most significant achievement or the As sembly. which met in the United States for the first time and se- lected Manhattan skyscraper for it's permanent home.
 But almost equally as significant was the attainment of virtually unanimous agreement among dele gates, unanimity that had been conspicuously lacking since the United Nations was born.
 For the first time since hostilities ended, delegates agreed there was an increase ill cooperative spirit between Soviet Russia and the Western Powers.
 Troop Disposition
 There was evidence in some re- spects of softening of Russian policy and the diminishing of So- yiet suspicious. Delegates agreed generally that U. s. Secretary of State James F. Byrnes contributed greatly to this by disclosing volun- tarily the number and position of American troops on foreign soil information that Russia fought un- successfully to have every nation give to the LIN.
 This advancement in United Na- tions relations was keynoted by Warren R. Austin chief of the U. s. delegation in the closing hours of the session.
 Starting with the ink and paper charter, Austin told fellow dele gates, we progressed from positive disagreement and skepticism as to the solution of the great problems conlrcntlng us, to newly discov cred harmony to almost unani- nous agreement. I think that we have established the essential re- ality of the United Nations
 Dramatic Finale
 Similar sentiments were expressed from the kleig- lighted rostrom by Secretary General Trygve Lie and Assembly President Paul-Henri Spaak of Belgium at the dramatic finale
 Most delegates agreed that the importance of the Assembly was emphasized by the fact that Rus sia had sent her top-flight diplo- mats to the Foreign Min ister V. M Molotov Deputy For eign Minister Andrei Y. Vishinsky and Andrei A. Gromyko
 Behind the delegates as they hurried home today for the Christ mas holidays was a job that in pure paper work alone staggered the imagination The record to- taled 4.sl4 documents, 33,0S6 pages, 19,532,7 7s4 words.
