On the other hand, top leaders like Meany, Tobn,
Zander and Whitney have warned the membership
of the real fascist nature of Big Business btz

movement to combat this actual threat to American
democracy.
Some of the reactionaries have been caught in the
squeeze and have said Understanding things
Gently than they have said before-because they
know the progressive element in the AFL is gaining
ground and they continue to hold their jobs

Friday The Thirteenth
(The Denver Post)


 TODAY IS Friday the Thirteenth"-a combination of i'll that has long terrified those of who apt walk under ladders take third light from match, or argue right-of-way with black cat.
 Since Biblical times Friday has been considered the unucest day of the week. This association with bad luck probably arose. it is sad because Jesus cruc fled Friday In the middle ages, Friday known Hangmans day" because that day of the week set aside for execution of all criminals.
 The association of thirteen with bad luck dates back many centuries probably to Sanskrt times The presence of thirteen at the Last SupperChris and His twelve disciples confirmed the number as unlucky. No wonder mankind had huddled closer to his hearth Friday the Thirteenth! He's wary animal by na- ture, and feels always that he's tghtropewalking slender thread of luck
 Whether not we superstitious must admit that thoughts real and that supersttons have been sending tngles along spines since the first brute, sitting around fickerng campfire optiistca y called himself Man.
 Ghosts and elves and witches probably have nfu- enced our lives much most other things we've only read about and haven't seen.
 Superstition of the kind that has hurried the steps of most of at least few walks down lonely stretches is part of the lore of mankind-hs fringe religion And so who may say ill omens not real?

AIRPORT BILLS

The proposal for construction of two airports in Alaska has receiv- ed impetus with the introduction of bills in the Senate similar to those introduced in the House the latter part of May.
 Senator Magnuson has offered a companion bill to the measure which would authorize the Ad- ministrator of Civil Aeronautics to construct an airport at Fair banks and any public highway or bridge from the city to whatever location may be selected. Both bills carry authorization for the appropriation of $5,000,000 for the construction of the project.
 Senator Cain of Washington has introduced a bill identical with

 PARCEL POST RATES
 Real and early dividends for Alaskans seem assured by the re- cent establishment in the Terri tory of regional office of the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce in Juneau.
 M. w. Goding of Skagway, head of the Alaska office, discovered pay dirt during the course of a survey he made to assemble facts for presentation to the Post Office Department in connection with parcel post rates within the Ter ritory.
 Ever since parcel post service was extended to Alaska, 8th-zone rates only have been applicable. Thus, it has cost as much per pound to send parcel post pack age from Petersburg to Wrangell or Anchorage to Palmer as it has to send one from Key West, Flo- rida, to Nome. Despite the unfair ness of this policy nothing has been done.
 During the course of his re- search, MT. Goding discovered an obscure point of law which leaves the Post Office Department no dis cretionary power in this situation. This was called to the attention of appropriate officials in Washing ton by MT. Goding, and as a con- sequence Joseph T. Flakne, Chief, Alaska Section, Division of Terri tories and Island Possessions, De- partment of the Interior; James Fletcher. formerly on the UniVer- sity of Alaska faculty and now a member of the Department of Commerce staff in Washington; and Delegate Bartlett took the matter up with the Post Office Department. Assurance was given that new parcel post zone sys- tenn would be established in Alas ka soon. Mapping will first have to be accomplished and coopera- tion in this will be given the Post Office Department by the Interior and Commerce departments. FOOD FROM CANADA
 It will no longer be necessary to appeal to Washington for au- thorization to obtain food for inn port into Alaska from Canada, ac- cording to recent relaxtion of a war food order of the Department of Agriculture.

Two Prescriptions
(The Rocky Mountain News)


 A GROUP of economic doctors, headed by Chester Bowles has given the country 150O0-word prescrip- ton for what they say ails it. In the group are Leon Henderson Paul Porter Rob- ert R. Nathan, Lauchn Currie and other advanced thinkers who took part in planning and directing the governments efforts to manage the national economy before, during or just after the recent Most of them laboring in other vineyards But they don't like the way things have been going since they left public service And they have voun- teered this big budget of advice about how to mitigate deflationary recession, which they believe now can't be avoided and prevent disastrous depression few years hence. The many measures they urge all have one purpose ito increase purchasing power here and abroad They want prices cut about 10 per cent under guidance of government-appointed board At the same time they would spread the 15-cents-an-hour wage-rse pattern widely and rapidly; extend wartime support of farm prces increase the benefits and coverage unempoy ment insurance; give tax relief in the lower-income tax brackets start public housing program of rental units year; provide federal guarantees for other l5OOOOO housing units year; lend eight and one half billion dollars year for economic reconstruction in other countries etc., etc.
 With all difference to the brilliant Mr. Bowes and his learned associates still think the country would do well to heed another economic adviser who by the ord has proved than any or all of them We mean Bernard M. Baruch.
 Long before Pearl Harbor, he told Congress that if prices were to be controlled successfully, ceiling first must be placed over them a including wages and farm prices. But MT Henderson didn't believe that ad- vsabe at the time So wages and farm prices got long head start in the spiral that's been going since.
 Before World War II ended, Mr. Baruch predicted high employment would follow it. But Mr. Nathan and others of the Bowes groups sold President Truman the theory that the government must encourage big general wage rises without price increases six to eight million people, jobless by the spring of 1946 You know how we'll that turned out
 MT. Baruch's present advice is summed up in short word that we find emphasized nowhere in the Bowles program: Work
 The world, he says can't be set right by borrowing money It wars ravages to be repaired if are to aid recovery abroad if to have steadily rising living standards economic health and national security linen and women will have to work longer and harder for time to come"
 That's not such pleasant prescription It's too old fashioned for some of our great newstye economists It's one advantage is that it makes sense.
 This country maintain high employment It can have higher wages and lower prices It can escape re- cession and depressions.
 But can't have these blessings without constant i'm proved tools of production and enough pain hard work to keep the volume of production rising the unit costs of production failing and the markets expanding.

FOOD FROM CANADA

IL VIII no longer be necessary to appeal to Washington for au- thorization to obtain food for im- port into Alaska from Canada, ac- cording to a recent relaxtion of war food order of the Department of Agriculture.
 Heretofore import licenses were required from the Agriculture De- partment and export licenses from the Canadian government to bring commodities into the Territory. John o. Mallot, administrator of War Food Order 63, has informed Delegate Bartlett that the blanket authorization for imports into Alaska does not eliminate the necessity of obtaining Canadian export licenses. The shippers in Alaska should have their suppli- CTS obtain the necessary permits from Ottawa a few dyas in ad- vance of the desired date for ship ment.
 The favorable action has been taken by the Agriculture Depart ment in recognition of the desir- ability of relaxing the war food order as far as Alaska is con- cerned, a relaxation of regulations long urged by Delegate Bartlett.

TiSIla B'Ab-ASad Jewish HOLIDAY

of the destruction of Jerusalem
by Titus, the day also of the final
defeat of the Jews in the Bar
KOchba uprising and the day of
the expulsion of the Jews from
Spain.
Mostly we remember it for the
destruction of Jerusalem. We
Jews are not the only ones who
remember it. If you visit Rome
today you can see the Arch of
Titus erected by the Romans to
memorabilia the victory over the
Jews. It seems strange that the
great Roman Empire should glory
over the defeat of such a small
power as the Jews. It is tribute
to the terrific fight which the
Jews put up. It seems hard to
believe that the Jews could even
think of battling the mighty
Romans, yet Graetz remarks that
the Jews almost won, that but
for conflicts among themselves,
added to the treachery of some
Jews, they might have defeated
the Romans.
1t is difficult if not impossible
to match the herOism of the Jews
in this resistance. No wonder that
the Roman historian, TactituS,
speaks of the Jews as being
''cOntemptuOus of life" 1 think
The Southern Jewish weekly. [volume] (Jacksonville, Fla.) 1939-1992, 1947-07-25

he is all wrong there. The Jews
are the people who are perhaps
the least cOntemptuOus of life. 1t
was because they esteemed it so,
they could not bear the CALLING
yoke of Rome.
Titus had special coins struck
to commemorate the victory,
erected the great Arch of Triumph
and brought hundreds of captives
to Rome to exhibit. Thousands of
Jews were forced to fight with
wild beasts until they were killed
and thousands more were sold into
slavery.
Today a similar fight is taking
place in Palestine against another
Empire. We need not have any
doubts of Jewish herOism if we
remember the deeds of the Jews
at Masada. Already the Jews of
the Yishuv have shown that they
are made of the same stern stuff.
There is danger that we may be
too heroic. We are a people who
go in for David who slew giants.

Columbus might have mentioned
the fact that the coincidence went
further, that the order for the ex-
pulsion of the Jews from Spain
was also issued on the same day on
which the order came from the
Spanish Court to Columbus to get
ready to undertake his voyage.
Both orders were issued on April
80, 1892.
The last thing the 100000 Jews
did before they left Spain was to
arrange for Columbus to under
take this voyage of discovery. II
is clear that all the main hackers
of the project were Jews and
cannot get over the feeling that
Columbus himself was a jew
There are many reasons to sus-
pect this, but it seems to me the
one bit of clinching evidence is
the petition for the removal of Co
Iumbus, from his post as governor
of the Indies which resulted in his
deportation in chains back to
Spain. There it is plainly implied
that the Spaniards object to being
governed by a converse"
Tishah Bah is terribly sad
day in the Jewish calendar, yet
Jewish legend held that the Mes
siah would make his appearance
on Tisha Bah, perhaps the fact
that on this same day the expe-
dition to discover America set out,
may be construed as confirmation
of this prophecy.
What a terribly sad day Tisha
Bah has been otherwise! 1t is
a three times sad day-the day
The Southern Jewish weekly. [volume] (Jacksonville, Fla.) 1939-1992, 1947-07-25

On October IL, America was
discovered, but the voyage of Co.
lumbus began on Tishah Bah, the
same day on which the Jews were
expelled from Spain.
Columbus makes mention of the
fact in the first paragraph of the
journal of his trip. On the same
day in which the Jews were forced
to quit the soil of Spain, he says,
ne set out to discover a new
world.
