TOKYO, Oct. 18.- Occupation
headquarters censors today killed a
news story reporting New York
Times editorial suggestion that
Emperor Hifohito abdicate.
No reason was given, but 1t is
doubtful if any major paper in
Japan would nave printed it. Most
japanese and many occupation
officials consider the abdication
issue dead.
Occupation authorities say per-
petuation of the emperor system is
guaranteed by the surrender terms
as long as the japanese want it
and that any change in the oc-
cupancy of the throne also is up to
the japanese.
Gen. Macarthur had authority at
the outset to remove Hirohito the
individual, however, and possibly
would have done so except for the
Emperor ready cooperation with
the occupation.
Authoritative japanese sources
say court officials on at least two
occasions some time ago talked the
Emperor out of plans to resign in
favor of 14-year- Crown Prince
Akihito.
The Times editorial on October
Is said Hirohito should abdicate
and thereby permit his country to
wipe the slate clean and start afresh
under new Emperor"
Active Participant.
1t was baseo on war crimes trial
testimony of Marquis koichi KIDD
which it said now makes plain
what has always been known in in
formed quarters-namely that En-
peror Hirohito was by no means
the 'bumbling, Intellectual ruler OF
the ignorant and innocent puppet
that he has sometimes been rep
resented, but rather knowing and
active, if weak and timid, partici-
pant in Japan's military adven-
lures"
Actually, the japanese had beer
told by tnelr newspapers edIlleI IL
the week that Kido's testimony hao
cleared the Emperor of war guilt
KIDD, wartime lord keeper of the
privy seal, intimated that the EN-
peror could have halted the wal
much earlier by strong use of his
powers.
The japanese press, however
played an exactly opposite angle

One was for abdication before the
occupation forces arrived, the other
advanced by an imperial prince
was for the Emperor to retire early
in the occupation. thus assuming
at least some of the war RESPONSE
bility. The Emperor is said to have
considered both, but to have rejected
them on advice of court attaches.
Rumors of abdication periodically
sweep Tokyo, usually being timed to
impending events, such as last
springs adoption of the new
constitution.
The most recent rumor was that
Hirohito would retire when the final
peace treaty was signed. There
never has been any supporting evi-
dence for these tales.

Religious Pluralism
among Jews in America
BY DIR. Max ART

= Numerous attempts have been
made to equate American Jews
with secular minority groups COM
prising the American people.
Some say that we are members
of an ethnic minority. Others
assert that we constitute a nation-
ality-one of the many national
tiles rejecting the rich diversity
of American civilization. Others,
seeking closer indignation into. the
American scene, espoNse and ex-
pound the theory of cultural plur-
alism with dogmatic certainty.
This theory, which sounds most
plausible, avows that American
culture consists of a colorful array
of distinctive and distinct min
ority cultures. Hence, according
to this theory, the American spirit
welcomes the persistence of each
minority group as a distinctive
and permanent unit of the Ameri-
can people. Jews, say the advo-
Gates of cultural pluralism, can
best serve and enrich American
democracy by perpetuating their
own communal life through insti--
buttons for cultural, social and
philanthropic endeavor.

Bubonic Plague in Haifa,
High Commissioner
Declares Emergency

HAIFA, July 8 (Palcor)-The
High Commissioner last night de-
.clared a state of health emergency
for Haifa where IA cases of bu-
bonic plague have been admitted
to the Government hospital since
Friday.
The source of the dreaded
plague, which is carried by rats,
is believed to be the ancient
Turkish sewer system still in use
in the older parts of Eaifa, which
the Mandatory Government, after
thirty years, has neglected to re-
place.
The senior medical officer of the
Haifa district stated that the dis
ease is reaching alarming pro-
portions" and explained that the
High Commissioners order means
that "the health of the public is
seriously threatened" and that
medical services have been en-
powered to undertake house to
house visitation to provide free
medical aid and dispense medi-
cine, and supervise cleansing and
disinfection. Vaccine was made
available, free of charge, to all
doctors, and four vaccination cen
tors have been set up by the Jew
ish Medical Association, and three
by Arab doctors. Thousands OF
gallons of DOT have already been
used and mass spraying of the
civilian population began today.

the world over. Circumcision is
fundamentally religious matter
and as the Bible puts it "a sign
of the covenant of Abraham"
Such being the case, it would be
highly ironical for one who is not
himself circumcized to circumcize
others. Furthermore the circum-
cision must be performed in the
spirit of the religious motives be-
hind it. From the former state
ment, all Gentiles and even Jews
who are not themselves circum-
cized are not qualified to do the
circumcision. AS far as Jews who
are circumcized are concerned, the
only reason for preferring a spe-
cialist called a "Mohe" is his ex-
perience. Many physicians have
often said that the Jewish Nobel"
because of his experience many
times performs a better job than
a licensed surgeon. It should also
be noted that originally the father
would circumcize his own son and
that even today when the Nobel
does it he is considered merely
the agent of the father.

1COO >1S>O GO >/SG2N>
QUESTION: Why can circum-
cision take place only in the day
time?
ANSWER: Technically speak
ing, the origin Of this rule stems
from the Talmud (Tractate Sab
bath 132a) .(Tractate Megillah
2Oa) wherein differences are drawn
from Biblical statements which re-
peatedly emphasize the daytime as
the period for circumcision. There
may be many benefits implied,
such as the health of the child,
and the alertness of those per-
forming the surgery. In Jewish
law, some authorities insist, it is
so strict a matter, that should the
circumcision have taken place at
night it isn't valid until some
blood is drawn from the organ in
the daytime.
QUESTION: Why is it that
only . ''1TOheI can do the circum-
CisiOn?
ANSWER: It should be pointed
out here that circumcision among
Jews is not practiced primarily
for health purposes although it's
hygienic value has been recognized
