men were holding their pre-meet- ing session, at which both parties agreed on what was to come up for action, what was to be passed and what was to be killed and how each of the aldermen would vote. Fol- lowing this meeting Walker, who had promised the resolution, took his seat in the Aldermanfc Cham bers with flushed face and with con- siderable apparent embarrassment. Shtn he did not make any attempt to introduce the measure he told me The boys won let me-" By his act Walker has cast his die with the political position to Rent Control for this State. He has listened to the siren call of his 2o- litical bo0es and he has turned his back on the great majority of our public. Had he been a states man instead of an alderman, Wal ker would have repudiated his po- litical masters and he. would have championed the cause of the people
 Write To Governor
 MT. Ryan urged all persons to write directly to Governor Baldwin asking him to call a special session and to use his influence to get a Rent Control law that will be sound and fool proof. He also advocated writing to Congressman Joseph Tal- bot, Senators Hart and McMahor in Washington.
 This much I will definitely pro. mise you, fellow Americans, you are going to get Rent Control Law 1T this State. If the Federal Govern ment won't give It to you, you state will.
 We feel confident that tfe Fed eral Government will pass another Rent Control law but we dare no gamble. In the meantime we mus have a state rent law in our state

ish civilization - may forget the
main way of being Jewish, point
ed out in the directions given at
Sinai.
1 hope that by the time Paul
gets to manhood the confusion
will have cleared and all Jews
will see again this one, sure up
ward way of being Jewish. They
won't feel any the less Jewish be-
cause the ethical teaching they
emphasize is the same as the
teaching of the Christians.
They will feel special pride in
it because, as Jews, they were the
first to bring it to human society;
on that account they will feel un-
der special obligation to keep on
carrying it forward to the world
in their individual lives and in
their life as religious commun-
ity.
Unless Paul disappoints me he
will be that kind of Jew and
as that kind of a Jew he will be a
Jew good enough for me. He may
have none of the ritual practices
and he may not say kaddish for
me when I die, but up in Paradise
if get there-I shall feel bless
ed enough by Paul.
If they ask me. Doesn't your
grandson know enough to say
kaddish for you?" I shall answer:
81 don't know whether the boy
knows how to say kaddish but I
think his way of being a Jew
speaks for me. l tried to teach
him that the way of being Jew
has to do chiefly with climbing
up to lofty character and that's
the way he went and turned out
to be an excellent Jew. / sub
nit his Jewish character is more
eloquent than kaddish."
So having said, I may be per-
mitted to sit at the right hand
of the sanity Hillel. 'Hillel," I
shall tell him, ''I am happy to be
allowed to sit with you. You had
the right idea about the matter of
being Jewish"

PLAIN TALK

the way from Sinai, to walk IN
the loftiest ways of character; his
duty toward the brotherhood of
man, as Jew who never forgets
what the prophet Malachi said:
Have we not all one Father?
Hath not one God created us?"
Sure, to live right is also the
teaching of the Christians and, for
all 1 know, the Hottentots may be
getting the same teaching from
missionaries and may be living
that way.
That's all to the good and glory
of being a Jew. If Paul turns
out to be the man 1 hope for, he
will say, Yes, the fact that we all
have the same ethical teaching In
our separate religions proves the
essential unity of mankind. 1t is
the evidence of the brotherhood.
l, the Jew, am enabled to climb
to the high spots of human char
acter by the light of my Jewish
teaching; the Christian gets to
the same place by his lights.
There we may know each other
as brothers.
1 am not sure that l want Paul
ever to feel that to be a Jew IS
a distinct way of life, as the
Chronicles editor says. 1t may
be heresy for me to say that.
1 want Paul never to feel that
there is anything distinct or sepa-
rate in his identity as a Jew. l
shouldn't like to see Paul In a
physical, spiritual or cultural
ghetto. I remember what Haman
said of us to his king: "Their laws
are diverse from those of every
people," Hitler had the same
idea of Jews being in all ways
separate when by determination
he elected Jews from the German
people.
I don't want Paul ever to give
countenance to the idea OF Hitler
or Haman. 1 hope he will be a
Jew who by the closest appllca-
ton of Jewish ethical teaching
will prove the Jewish unity with
all other kinds of decent men.
Democratic society abhors to acen-
tuate any distinctiveness whether
of race, religion, culture, color or
wealth; the only things that count
are the oneness of man, as reveal
ed in the ethical teaching OF his
various religions.

rections of being Jewish-JewlSh

A number of citizens have ad-
vised me what to answer Paul,
my grandson, who in his very
young innocence recently asked:
whats a Jew" Il had invited
the readers to help me out.)
Of space and time 1 have only
enough to take up the answer OF
the editor of the Detroit Jewish
Chronicle who in his editorial
column gently chides me for the
way I tried to answer Paul.
had decided that when Paul
is old enough to understand l
would tell him: "a Jew is per-
son who is just and kind and goes
along with other people who want
to make this a better world. In
being a good man you will have
made good as a Jew and that's
enough"
The Chronicle editor replies:
"But it is hardly enough, Mr.. Sc
gal. Being just good and KIND
and good brother to others is not
exclusively a Jewish obligation.
A Christian should be just and
good and kind and that will make
him a better Christian. A Hotten-
tot should be just and good and
kind and that will make him
better Hottentot 80.
Being Jew, Mr.. Segal, IS a
distinct way of life.
Being a Jew is matter OF the
spirit and the heart.
Being a Jew means following
certain practices and principles.
Being a Jew means faith IN
hallowed tradition"
Well, Mr.. Editor, remember
another Jew much older and
much wiser than /. His name
was Iille1. The story goes that
one day a certain heather came
to him with a desire to embrace
Judaism on one condition: If Hill
lei would give him the sum OF
the entire Torah while he, the
heathen, stood on one foot, he
would embrace Judaism.
Hillel was even quicker than
that to give him a summary OF
the whole Torah. He said: DO
unto your neighbor what you
would have him do unto you; this
is that whole Law; the rest is
commentary"
1 could feel that Paul was doing
all right as a Jew if he lived by
the precept of Hillel. Paul would
be fulfilling the Law and the
Prophets. All the rest of Judaism
that he might have would be orn-
amental culture for it. Paul as
a man: l should like, to see Paul
have all that, just as I should like
to see him cultivating music, lit
erature and the sciences; it all has
to do with making Paul full
man.
But l shall always tell Paul
that the main thing of being Jew
ish is character; a Jews under
standing of his social duty; his
obligation as man has come all

law that makes anti-Semltlsm IL
legal-not yet anyway. It's prac-
tice does not technically violate
our civil rights. But there are
ways of taking legal action
against it. Such action was mi
tiated by the American Jewlsn
Congress, in testifying before the
Federal Communications Com
mission that the New York Daliy
News" now seeking an FM radio
station license, has been guilty OF
s.nreiudicial handling of news
concerning Jews and Negroes.
In April of 1916 the Congress-
oware Of the 'News" policies, pre-
nored q statistical analysis OF the
naner's news content comparing
the amount of favorable and un-
favorable news stories which the
ssNews" had carried concerning
Jews and Negroes and results
were compared with a similar
.nalvsis of four other New YORK
newspapers, the Times, the her
aid Tribune, the Mirror and PM.
The evidence is strong against
the News. The analysis showed
that the News had run, IN column
inches, At per cent favorable stor-
;es and So per cent unfavorable
stories against an average Tor tne
o+ler naners of 88 and IL respec-
lively.
These exhibits included a num-
her of columns by John O'Don-
mel. columnist and head OF the
News Washington bureau. one
was his "expose" of the Patton
soldier-slapping incident. O'Don-
mel claimed that the soldier slap
ned had been a Jewish boy ana
that prominent Jews close to the
White House were pressing Tor
p.+ton's dismissal. Also included
were thre whole pages In one Is
sue of the News which were de-
voted to long "List of Jews In
Government" This was publish
ed under the O'Donnell by-lme.
It was a reprint of a pamphlet
distributed earlier that year by
William Dudley Pelley, now serv-
ing a IS year prison sentence for
seditious activities. Late In De-
cember of 1945 the News ran an
editorial raising the question
whether World War IL was
fought because of Hitler's perse-
cution of the Jews and adding
that they did not believe that the
theory would hold water.
The News fought hard against
introduction of the analysis and
the exhibits as evidence. By the
time the Washington hearing
opened early this month the Con-
gress had prepared another analy-
sis even more inclusive and care
fully done. The results OF the
two analyses were substantially
the same. Still grasping at straws
counsels for the News cross-ex-
amined AJC witnesses in an at
tempt to prove that even the sec
ond analysis had been slanted
against the News.
What was brought out in the
tedious hearings by presentation
of the AJC charge, was the fact
that large daily newspaper
which boasts the largest circula-
ton in the world, is subtly-and
not so subtly-spreading the doc
trine of race hatred like the open
ing wedge of Hitlerite fascism in
Europe.
If the decision of the FEC on
the license is affected by the AJC
testimony it will give hope to
those who fight to combat anti
in this country and en-
couragement to seek more legal

End Of GIN
Auto Strike
Imminent
Union to Bring
Up Other Issues
For New Contract

Detroit, Feb. 10 (Up) Settle
ment Of the Ss-day General Motors
strike was expected momentardly
today.
Prospects for ending the walkout
of l75,O0O CIO United Auto Work
ers frightened with the announced
settlement of the steel deadlock
Federal Mediator James F.. Dewey,
smiling broadly, said: 1T looks very
encouraging.
Dewey led the top negotiating
teams of GIN and the JAW into a
bargaining session scheduled 10
start at 10 a. m. The possibility Of
settlement was heightened by the
scheduled presence Of the two OPP
posing presidents, O. E. Wilson Of
the corporation and r. j. Thomas
of the union.
Other Issues Included
Thomas said the steel settlement
should lead to early disposal of
wage disputes "in industries de-
pendent on steel and permit full
civilian production and employ
ment."
There still was an air Of caution
around the conference room. GIN
spokesman refused to comment on
the effect of the steel agreement.
Dewey said he would rather not
comment" on whether an agree
ment at GIN might be reached to-
day.
Top union leaders also warned
that even should the corporation
meet the UAV's present 10 10 cents
wage demand. and end of the strike
might not follow. Walter P. Reuth-
er, JAW vice-president in charge
Of the GIN division, insisted that
non-wage differences be settled be-
fore workers were ordered back to
their jobs.
Ford POstpones Farley
Chief Of the non-wage issues
were certain seniority provisions
and maintenance of union member
ship, which GIN has stated 1t would
not include in a contract to replace
the one it cancelled Dec. 10.
The Ford Motor Company and
the JAW postponed until Monday
their talks on non-wage provisions
Of new contract. The company said
most issues had been agreed upon.
with talks to continue on a pro-
posed security plan to do away with
strikes.
A security plan was part Of an
agreement reached between Ford Of
Canada and the JAW. Under 1t no
strike may be called without a vote
Of each of the 10000 employees.
Wildcat strikers are subject to a fine
Of So a day and loss Of one years
seniority for each week of strike
action.

II will be to determine the actual
building needs Of the city.
Because Of the shortage Of build
ing materials the competition is
keen, 1t was pointed out by officials.
This has resulted In the need for
an actual determination Of the
local demands so that the facts
and figures may be presented be-
fore federal authorities.
A discussion of the merits Of the
temporary home of the. pre-fab-
ricated type was held among COM
mittee members present. yesterday.
Mr.. Smith said there was strong
lobby movement In washington
conducted BY the makers Of the
preSfabricatede homes seeking allo-
cation OF building materials their
way rather than toward the con-
Ventional building businesses.
Capt. Renato Spadola, wounded
war veteran of the committee, said
that he believed that most veter-
alis desired permanent homes but
would accept the temporary homes
If available.
Miss Nancy Delaney, executive
secretary of the Veterans Advisory
Center stated shat veterans apply
ing ct the Center have all stated
they will willingly accept the tenn
porary home with the expectation
Of getting a permanent home later.
Mr.. Hartley said that he under
stands that about 500 new dwellings
are planned by local builders just
as soon as the critical materials
are found.
In connection with President
Truman's proposal for construction
Of 2,700,0O0 new homes, Mayor
Monagan said that he figured Wa
terbury's share, based on 100000
population, would be 1900 homes
in I946 and $500 in l947. He
pointed out that the new dwell
ings will be distributed as fol-
lows: In 1915, TOO conventional
homes, $50 permanent prefabri-
Gated homes, and ESQ temporary
prefabricated homes; and In l947,
900 conventional homes and 900
permanent prefabricated homes.
Those who attended yesterdays
meeting were: Mayor Monagan,

Yum. Gee, Painter Has
Scheme to Go to Moon

boo lunar tube" and he claims 1t
won't cost the government yut
about $40 more than World War II.
what makes difference2" he
asked. I'VE only spend money any
how"
Lighter as II Goes Up
Yum Gee would start out at the
earth's surface with an alumir"m
structure looking something Ike
the Empire state Building. But
not same" he explained. TITS not
heavy and all time pushing down.
It's light and pushes up"
The aluminium frame will stretch
up about 80 miles to where the
earth's atmosphere ends.
That's where the work begins"
Yum Gee said.
Up until then, 1t was easy.
This part OF the structure will
be held up by host Of giant bal
looms. Then the workers, Yum Gee
sees jobs for at least q 1000, 900
men, will start on the lunar tube"
proper. They'll use 1000 foot sec
lions OF banboo-ribbed canvas.
Air VIII Hold It
"Air rushing up from earth will
hold 1t up" Yum Gee said. "As each
section Is completed, workers. in
pressurized suits, will venture out
to start on new one"
The lunar tube" will take the
shortest route to the moon, Yum
Gee explained, only about 22l 900
miles. At the tubes end will be a
giant magnetic hook which will at
tach 1t firmly to the moon-he
hopes.
This will be speedway for
giant planes" Yum Gee said. ut
will be 10 blocks wide and they
can travel 1000 miles an hour-and
should reach the mon In about 9
IL days"
Not His Problems
But what about the things that
scientists tell US about the moon2
In the daytime it's so hot that any
human would melt. At night, it's
so cold that any human would turn
into q chunk OF Ice.
On top of that, since there Is but
little outside pressure, scientists
claim any human stepping from a
plane would be certain to explode.
What about all that?
Yum Gee shrugged.
I'm a philosopher as well as an
engineer" he said. It's only my
problem to get them up there.
What comes later-well, that's their
lookout"
