Temple. They defiled the Temple
by ordering swine and other un-
clean animals to be sacrificed on
the altar.
Thus, the policies of the wealthy
Hellenizers, the asSimilationists
who started out by exploiting their
own people in behalf of a foreign
imperialist power, led to the total
enslavement of the entire people,
not only economically and polit-
ically, but culturally and religious
ly as well. These wealthy assim-
ilationists were the quislings Of
the time, serving their masters
abroad to the detriment of their
own people.
The Hasidim
Many Jews, however, refused to
becom paganized. They defied the
commands of Antiochus and the
quislings. They continued to OBJ
serve the Sabbath, the dietary
laws, the rite of circumcision.
These loyalists, known as Hasidim,
''the Pious" would rather die than
give up their religion. Many of
them did make the supreme sac
rifice. They were the first mar
tyrs in recorded history.
The Hasidim, however, were
rebels but not revolutionaries.
They argued that it was a sin to
bear arms on the Sabbath, even
though the fate of the Jewish peo-
pie and their religion was at stake.
It was then that Mattathias, the
the son of Hasmoneus, priest Of
Jerusalem who lived in the nearby
town of Modin, entered the scene.
Mattathias argued that the Sab
bath was made for the Jews and
not the Jews for the Sabbath, and
that to transgress a Sabbath was
as nothing if it made possible the
observance of all the Sabbaths
thereafter.
The HasmOnean revolt, especi-
ally under the astute leadership of
Mattathias' son, Judah the Macca-
bee, gained some initial military
successes. The road to Jerusalem
was opened up. Parts of Judea
and of Jerusalem were liberated;
and exactly three years after it
had been defiled, the Temple was
purified and rededicated to God.
This was on the 25th day of KisIev,
165 b. G. E.
The chief general of the Syrian
army, Lysias, took over personal
command, and set out to punish
the rebel Jewish forces. In the

meantime, however, the Syrian
King, Antiochus Nv, died, and
Lysias was compelled to make a
hasty peace with. the Jews and re-
turn to Syria at once in order to
prevent a rival general from gain
ing the throne.
Two Views on Peace Terms
The peace terms offered by
Lysias made provision only for re-
ligious freedom, not for economic
ard political independence. The
Hasidim had never shown interest
in more than religious freedom,
so when the peace terms Of Lysias
granted them that freedom, they
gladly accepted the terms.
Judah and his faction, however,
held out for political and economic
independence, but he was outvoted;
so he and his. forces withdraw
from Jerusalem to continue the
struggle.
The Hasidim Betrayed
Within a few years after the
celebration of the first Chanukah,
and with Lysias scarcely out of
sight, the new High Priest ap-
pointed by Lysias, Alcimus (who
preferred the Greek form of his
Jewish name, which was Eliakim) 4,
removed from office most of the
Hasidim, and had some so of them
executed. Those who had been
Hellenizers or their supporters,
were brought back into power.
Only then did the Hasidim realize
the terrible mistake they had
made when they accepted. Lysias'
terms. In desperation, they turn
ed to Judah for leadership Sec
ond time. Once again civil war
broke out in Judea, between the
upperclass Hellenizers and the
common people who had the sweet
fruits of victory cruelty snatched
from their hands.
Fearful that his group would not
defeat those who sided with Judah,
Alcimus called upon Syria for
help. A powerful Syrian army
came, defeated Judah's forces, and
killed Judah himself on the battle
field. This happened in 100 B. G.
E., a short five years after the
first Chanukah.
The Struggle Prolonged
If all was not yet lost, it was
due largely to the wisdom OF
Judah's brothers, Jonathan anC
Simon. They knew that the great
mass of Jews would now, more
than ever before, refuse to submit

Truman 10 Get Report
On Guaranteed WAGE
. BY the Associated Press

A Government report prepared for
President Truman indorsed guaran-
teed. wage plans today as means
of steadying the Nations economy
and reducing labor strife.
Under these plans, employers
would agree to furnish regular jobs
and pay for a fixed period, some
times a year, regardless of whether
they may later have enough work
to keep employees busy throughout
the period.
The report, prepared after an 18-
month study by staff headed by
Murray Latimer, former chairman
of the Railroad Retirement Board,
held that guaranteed wages would

their operations ahead to maintain

2. Thereby help maintain steady
employment and purchasing power
3. Contribute to labor peace by
minimizing workers fears of loss OF
income and permitting the lifting

which long have been characteristic
of employment insecurity"
Mr.. Latimer's report has been
submitted privately to the Advisory
Board of the Office of War Mobiliza-
ton and Reconversion. The Ad-
visory Board is withholding its Off

Phone Conversation

NEW YORK, Feb. Warren r
Austin, the American delegate, anc
Andrei A. Gromyko, Soviet repre-
sentative, conferred by telephone to-
day without reaching an agreement
on a deadlock over. arms reduction
machinery, 1t was reported authori-
ttatively.
\ Mr.. Austin, 1t was said, called Mr.
Gromyko and talked with him aboui
five minutes. The American dele
gate to the United Nations Security
Council was reported to have in
quired If there was any form o1
words acceptable to Mr.. Gromyko or
the disputed clause in a proposed
arms limitation resolution.
Mr.. Gromyko, it was added, re-
piled there was none acceptable.
Thus the impasse was to be taker
up again this afternoon by an in.
formal committee of the Security
Council wit no agreement in pros
pect. Mr.. Austin and Mr.. Gromyk6
conferred in last-minute attempt
to settle the differences.
Apart on One Big Issue.
Members of a six-nation Coun-
Gil committee suggested this pro-
cedure after they had sought un-
successfully for two days to reconcile
the views of the two big powers as
to how the Council should approach
the arms reduction program.
| Yesterdays seven-hour closed ses-
sion of the committee left the dele
gates agreed on a number of major
points, but still far apart on one big
issue-how to define the relationship
between the proposed arms COM
mission and the present Atomic
Energy Commission.
The United States took firm po-
sition that the Security Councils
resolution setting up the new arms
commission must state clearly that
it cannot encroach on the field al
ready assigned to the Atomic Com
mission. Russia insisted such a
statement was unnecessary.
Colombia Offers Compromise.
The fight was almost exclusively
between the United states ana Rus
sia. The four other members of the
committee-France, Australia, CO.
lombia and Belgium-Were seeking
to find a solution which would sat
isfy both Mr.. Austin and Mr.. Gro
myko.
AS the situation stood this morn
ing, the best chance for an agree
ment seemed to rest on a Colombian
compromise proposal, which stated
that the General Arms Commission
must not infringe on the work of
the Atomic Commission, but did not
go into detail on this point as much
as an earlier American proposal.
Neither Mr.. Austin nor Mr..
Gromyko accepted the Colombian
draft Immediately, but neither re-
jected it. Mr.. Gromyko said it was
an improvement on other proposals
and Mr.. Austin agreed to consider
it overnight and discuss it with Mr..
Gronlyko if he appeared willing to
accept the principle involved,

Al Democrats Join
Republicans 10 Pass
Ban on Third Term
BY the Associated Press

The proposed two-term limit
on the presidency headed for the
Senate today by virtue of re-
vived Republican-Southern DEM
ocrat coalition in the House.
While Republican leaders hailed
the House action as a victory in the
first test of their 1947 legislative
program, one Democratic leader told
reporters privately:
They can't call this victory for
their program. They would have
been beaten badly if it hadn't been
for the Southern Democrats"
The limitation. in the form of a
constitutional amendment, went
through the House yesterday by q
285- -to-121 vote-14 more than the
necessary two-thirds majority.
If approved by two-thirds of the
Senate and later by three-fourths
of the States. it will prohibit more
than two full or partial terms for
any president.
AZ Democrats Back COP.
Although all of the 238 Republi-
cans present voted for the limita-
ton, they were 80 short of the 271
needed for a two-thirds count. But
they were joined by At Democrats,
including Al from Southern or
border states.
Many of those same votes were
cast with the COP to upset admin
istration wishes when the Demo-
Gratis were in nominal control of
the House during the latter part
of the Roosevelt administration and
after President Truman entered the
White House in 1945. -.
The. presidential limitation debate
took on a partisan hue yesterday as
Democrats repeatedly brought up
the name of Franklin D. Roosevelt.
There we're, frequent references to
"the dead past" governing the future
and reminders that Mr.. Roosevelt
no longer is alive. 81 s,5@
G. o. p. Wants Voters TO Decide.
Republicans insisted that their
sole purpose was to give the voters
an opportunity to decide through a
constitutional amendment whether
they want to limit to eight years
the time any individual may serve
as President.
Democrats countered with claims
that the voters settled that issue
when they elected Mr.. Roosevelt to
a third and fourth term. They
accused Republicans of not having
faith in the Judgment of the voters.
Before passing the legislation, the
House rejected proposals to limit
tenure to single six-year term and
to require ratification by State con-
ventions rather than by State Leg
islatures. AS passed, the States
would have seven years in which to
act. s.

into this night club shortly before

dignitaries, but there was much
fussing when he. and his two re-
tainers swept across the floor to
a ringside table.
Wearing an embroidered cape,
meticulously applied black whiskers
and a stern expression, Jim gazed
regally around the room. The band
played, but all eyes of the blase
crowd-including those of a few
newsmen who were in the gag
were on the 6-foot 4-inch prince. =
Finally he sent one of his ennis
saries to Bandleader Jerry Wald

as the stooge-who bore the un-

the request. Then, a bit shakily,
the band swung out with Begin

At its conclusion, Moran rose,
gathered in his robes, bowed to the
orchestra and started for the door.
When he was halfway there, a
