QUESTION: Is it true that a
pregnant woman is not supposed
to 60 to the cemetery or attend
a funeral? Submitted by A. Klaf-
ter, Brooklyn, N. W
ANSWER: Generally we do not
find any such prohibition in our
laws and customs. It may be pos
sible that certain people would dis
courage such a practice in order
to avoid unnecessary excitement
for the expectant mother. AS a
matter of fact, from another ques-
ton which is widely discussed in
Rabbinic lore, it may be deduced
that an expectant mother is not
prohibited from attending funerals
or visiting cemeteries. The ques-
ton is often discussed as to wheth-

er the wife of a Kohen descend
ant of Aaron the High Priest)
who is pregnant may go to GEM
etery or be present in the same
room with corpse. The fear in
such a case centers around the
possibility that the child might
be boy and Kohen is prohibited
from visiting the cemetery or be-
ing in the same room with a
corpse. Even in this case there
are many who allow it.
QUESTION: Why is a Kohen
descendant of the priestly fam
lily of Aaron) prohibited from Wis
iting the cemetery or being in the
same room with a dead person?
ANSWER: The origin of this
prohibition comes directly from
the Bible (Leviticus 21:1) where
it is written There shall none
defile himself for the dead amongst
his people," referring to the
priests. The logic behind this re-
striction is not difficult to appre-
bend when we realize as did Mai
monides Guide to the Perplexed
Chapter XLVID who points out
that in ancient times it took seven
days before one could enter the
sanctuary after coming in contact
with a dead body The priests,
being closely and constantly asso-
ciated with the sanctuary, were
thus forbidden to come in contact
with objects that would prohibit
them from entering the sanctuary
where they worked.

CONCENTRATION

JUNEAU, Alaska, Sept. 20.-Edi tor of Daily Alaska Empire-There is a rumor, and I am asking you if it is correct, that the School Board or someone in school authority, con- templates moving all first graders from the present grade school on Fifth Street to the former Indian School, now to be known as the Willoughbv School If such action is taken does it means that the little tots from the Basin Road, Starr Hill and other far localities must find their way to the out-of- way school on Willoughby Avenue, regardless of weather conditions?
 Why not continue to use the Will loughby Avenue School for the na- tives, who live in that vicinity or, if a transfer is made, why not transfer one of the larger pupil grades?
 Or, as another plan. wbv not have first graders in the Wllloughby sec tion embracing those from out the highway, Waynor Addition. Seattor Tract. Twelfth Avenue, etc, go to the Willoughby Avenue School and permit these in the other sections of the city to continue to attend the Fifth Avenue School?

 Manager Bucky Harris. whose New York Yankees already are in the World Series, and Burt Shotton, pilot of a Brooklyn Dodger leam still striving to get in, pondared pitching problems today with Shot tens cares the most serious of the two.
 Harris has been getting such splendid mound performance since the Yankees clinching date that he can't make up his mind who he'll start in the fall classic.
 On the other hand, Shotton can't find a starter to pitch that pennant "clincher' let alone to open the big series.
 For the fourth straight day, Yankee hurler went the route yes terday when Floyd (BilD Bevens scattered three hits in pitching g. 0 victory over the Athletics in Phila delphia. Bevens. who hadn't been counted upon by Harris, thus served notice that he was out to win a World Series starting assignment.
 The Brooks failed for the third straight time to sew up the nag They still need one more victory or a defeat by the St. Louis Cardinals to get in the series The Brooks have six games to play and the Cards who meet the Chicago Cubs in a day-night donbleheader in St. Louis today have nine.
 Branca Gets Gong
 Ralph Branca, the Dodgers 2l- game winner, was the latest to get the gong as the Boston Braves 3in- ished him off in seven innings and wetn on to shut out the Brooks 40 at Ebbets Field Warren Spahn limited the Dodgers to six hits to become the first Braves southpaw to win 20 games since Irving Young won that many in 1905. The Braves moved within game and half of the second-pla Cards.
 Larry Jansen, rookie righthander of the New York Giants, joined the 20-victcry class when he pitched the Giants to a GA triumph over the Philadelphia Phils at the Polo Grounds. The win gave the Giants split in their doubleheader as the Phils won the opener 3-2 in II in nings
 Record for Giants
 Rookie Second Baseman Bobby Shawn slammed his first round trip per in the second game to enable the Giants to establish a National League record by hitting homers in 18 consecutive games. They held the old one of Is straight games. The Yankees hold the major league record of 25
 Cincinnati and Pittsburgh split a twin bill, the Reds winning the opener 3-1 and the Pirates taking the nightcap 11-7. The second game was halted because of darkness at the end of eight innings.

Initiate or Debate?

Imitation is one of those things you
talk about when you do not have it.
We have a mild case of imitation
now. We do not want it, but we are
perhaps less scared about it now
than we were before it came. Most
of us do not mind adding to the
spiral little bit, though we may
dislike to see other folks do SO. We
seem assured that there is turn
about for everybody" in the imitation
spiral.
Some features of our snarled up
labor-management relations, with
the consequent paltry production
and lower income for strikers, would
represent deflation of a sort. But
we must know that when we push
our wages up and up, we simply
must have production to justify these
increased costs. If we do not, we
may expect prices to follow or even
shoot ahead, as the laws of econom-
les begin to make adjustments.
Plain Economics
Higher wages without increased
production create situation that
bears some resemblance to strikes
without production. Either one will
cripple American industry, and this
is time when labor cannot afford
to contribute to industrial chaos.
People the world over need goods
desperately, even people with an in
fiation already well past our own.
The only answer is production! We
must produce. produce, produce.
Without production, any wage pre-
miums which labor asks and wins
represent the direst sort OF imitation
and public liability We have al
ready approached the danger point.
Now, without price control, it is east
er to see plain economics in op-
Grafton. Labor costs represent most
Of the cost of our manufactured
goods. Any increased costs, as well
as the costs of scarcities. will be
passed directly to the people.
Coal, For Example
Suppose the nations coal supplies
are shut off. Bituminous coal pro-
vides 55eo of our industrial energy,
62% Of our electric power, and 65Go
Of our industrial power. No coal
means no steel, and the shortage
pressures then begin operating to
force up prices of everything we buy.
Higher prices for coal mean higher
prices for steel. Steel is one of the
basic ingredients of thousands of
things we require daily, and soon up
goes the general level of prices for
consumer goods and for services as
well.
Suppose the miners win wage in
creases. Their success is eyed by
wage earners in varied other in
dustries and crafts. Already the
industrial unions have made top bill
ing OF a new drive for increased
wages. Up go prices again. That's
plain economics.
We like imitation for ourselves,
when it is going our way, but gen.
orally we prefer to defate the other
fellow. 1t is time somebody thought
Of the Golden Rule, May submit
that production is the Golden Rule
way to steer ourselves out of this
jam and to keep the traditional
American freedoms we so much
cherish.

THE MINERS SPEAK

Coal Age has published an ex-
tremely revealing popular opinion
poll conducted among miners in
the Middle west, Eastern a n d
Southern coal regions by an ex-
pert from the McGraw-Hill re-
search organization. According
to this poll. IS per cen t of the
miners queried felt that union
members should vote secretly on
future strike calls. The majority
of miners were not in favor of
government domination of con-
tract settlements. And 60 per
cent said there have been to many
work stoppages in the past five
years.
The mos t interesting fact
d evel lope ID by tn e e
expressions of opinion is t h a t
the m n ers, by and large,
are not as favorable to continued
one-man dictatorship of their
union as many people have be-
lieved. Their opinion on the vital
subject of work stoppages is es-
pecially significant. The individ-
ual miner, when he adds up the
wages lost by strikes, has every
right to wonder if they wer e
worthwhile if the wiser
course is not to continue produc-
ton while arbitration between
union heads and management
goes on.
This poll also provides the seeds
for legislation which is needed to
protect union members as we'll as
the general public against h e
excesses of labor leaders. Who
could sincerely argue against a
law forcing a secret, supervised
ballot by union members before
a strike is called? who could op.
pose a measure which would give
workers actual and honest con-
troll over the policies of the union
that is supposed to represent
them?
