No man, pursuing what he con-
siders a praisewOrthy aim, likes
to be called down on it, certainly
not in the world arena. Particul-
arly if he happens to be the Presi-
dent of the United States and is
attacked as unwarrantedly as he
was by Foreign Secretary Bevin
on the Palestine issue.
The President would be less
than Humankind he is a human
and humane man-if he did not re-
sent Bevin's charge that Mr.. Tru-
man. in effect, is responsible for
the British failure to reach agree
ment with Jews and Arabs on Pal
estine. According to Bevin's in
depreciation, he was well on the
road to "a right approach" last
October. Then, he asserted, along
came the President and ignoring
Prime Minister Attlee's plea to re-
frain, issued his statement, strong
ly reiterating the hope that 100,
900 Jewish refugees would be adj
mitted to Palestine.
Despite previous British objec-
TORS to President Truman's re-
peated requests for the admission
of the 100000 he has continued
to plug for what he believes to be
primary humanitarian act. And
he has not relished what he views
as patent maneuvers by the Brit
ish to obstruct fulfillment of
pledges.
Only recently, n fact day be-
fore the Bevin blast, the Presi-
dent told a group of United Jew
lsh Appeal leaders at the White
House that he was still trying to
complete the job of getting the
100000 into Palestine. Mincing
no words, he said that the stu
alton the UJA is dealing with is
terrible" In your effort to al
leviate the plight of the victims
OF Hitler and to place them on the
road to recovery" he said, "you
are performing tasks which will
contribute to the reconstruction
OF the countries and people shat
Tered by war, and to the stablish-
ment of a greater sense of COM
radeship and cooperation among
all men,"
General Eisenhower, addressing
tne opening session here of the
IVA campaign for $4,000, 900,
struck a similar note in emphasiz-
ing the urgency Of the need. Look

"a British politician, who has
played such dubious politics, es-
pecially i'm connection with Pales-
tine, as has Mr.. Bevin, ought not
to lecture to any government on the
subject of political ethics. Citizens
of the United States further will
not be impressed by his gross in
uendo at their Chief Executive;
nor by his renewed Sights on the
Jews of New York. 1t is not the
first time that Mr.. Bevin has called
to his aid racial prejudice" DIR.
Silver declared.
Perhaps the most astonishing
part of Mr.. Bevin's statement is
that in which he declares that last
summer he was on the road to an
agreement when the whole thing
was spoiled by the Presidents
statement of October 4th. The fact
is that at that time all negotiations
on the Palestine issue had for the
time being broken down. Indeed,
in the opening paragraph of his
statement Of October 18th, the Pres
ident, with deep regret, drew at
tention to this very fact. Thus,
the charge that the Presidents re-
newed request for the immigration
into Palestine of 100000 Jewish
displaced persons wrecked an I'M
pending settlement is a most mis-
chievous distortion. The Presi-
lent's great act of humanity in
once again urging that there be
action and in pointing
out that the breakdown of discus
'ions meant further delay has been

PALESTINE SOCCER TEAM
TO PLAY IN UNITED STATES


kinds are continuing in Palestine
despite unsettled conditions and
the threat of actual warfare, &C
cording to Leib Sirkin, director
of the National "Hapoer' Sports
Federation of Palestine.
Mr.. Sirkin, who has just arrived
in this country to manage the
forthcoming spring goodwill tour
of the Palestine national "Hapoel'
soccer team in the United States,
told reporters at a press conference
this week that regularly scheduled
games between British Army and
Police, Arab and Jewish teams
were held until recently.
He said that Palestine Jewish
teams have toured most of the Eu-
ropean nations, as well as Egypt
and Lebanon, with visiting teams
from the same countries coming to
Palestine as in the United States,
with a predominantly youthful
population actively engaged in
competitive games and tourna-
ments.
Mr.. Sirkin will act as manager
Of an all-star Palestinian soccer
team which arrives in this country
in few weeks in advance of it's
American tour in May and June.
Elimination games are now going
on in Palestine to select the all
star team which will meet all-star
American teams here.
The first game will take place
in New York at Yankee Stadium
on May 4. Other games in New
York and in large cities through
out the United States will follow.
The tentative schedule includes
games in Baltimore, Philadelphia,
st. Louis, Chicago and Detroit.
In Palestine, as in Great Britain
and continental Europe, soccer is
the national game, corresponding
to baseball and football here. The
United States goodwill tour of the
Palestinian team will be the first
such visit in more than a decade.
Mr.. Sirkin pointed out that the
"Hapoel", the largest sports organ
ization in Palestine, consists of
amateurs ''imbued with the nat
ional spirit" who devote their spare
time to training and physical cul-
ture. It's membership totals $4,000
in 12O branches all over Palestine.
He said that many of the trainers
are European sportsmen who emf
grated to Palestine but that most
participants now are Palestine
born. Women in Palestine also
play a major role in sports activi-
ties, Mr.. Sirkin said, especially in
track, gymnastics, and swimming.
Mr.. Sirkin is himself an out
standing and colorful leader OF
sports activities in Palestine. A
lawyer who emigrated to Palestine
in 1886, he was General Secretary
of the 'Hapoer' until 1941 when ne
became Secretary of the Jewish
Seamen's Union. He is now
"Hapoer' director.
In 1913 he was arrested by the
British and accused of trafficklng
in arms, a charge he denied. His
case became a cause celebre IN
palestine. where he was known as
the "Palestinian Dreyfus".

Upsets Are the Rule

II know that" Kramer said. "But
only here and there. Only occasion
ally. Golf is nothing but one upset
after another. Look at the last
P. G. A. tournament. Most of the
star golfers were out by the second
round.
~ like golf as game, but not as
way of making living. It's too
tough. Ellie Vines has played a long
number of brilliant rounds. But he
rarely wins big money tourna-
ment. And Vines has practiced thou
sands of hours at golf"
Don't forget" I put in, "that
tennis is played over a few square
yards of space. A round of golf COW
ers over five miles and some $50
acres. A tennis court is perfectly
massaged. A golf course is full of
trees, bunkers, traps, matted rough,
ponds, lakes, maybe part of an
ocean, hills, ravines, bushes and
jungle. Irv Cobb told me once that
he got so deep into the woods on
some western course that he was
attacked by two pumas. Also, there
are few cuppy lies in tennis. No
bunker heel prints in the sand"
THAT may have something to do
with it," Kramer said. "All l know
is that I don't want any part of pro
golf-even if was Is strokes better
than my 85."
There is another angle that
Kramer might have figured on.
The tension in golf is about four
times the tension in tennis-or any
other sport. There is only one cure
or relief for tension that every other
sport carries. This is action-move-
ment. Golf has no such relief.

Three Have Sailed Around
Globe Alone in Small Ships

Only three men have circled the
globe in small sailing vessels sin
glehanded, says Golfers. The first
was Capt. Joshua Slocum who, in
his 36-foot sloop Spray, left Boston
in April, 1895, and returned there
in July, 1898, having covered $4,000
miles. The second was Harry Pidg-
con who, in his 34-foot yawl Is
lander, left Los Angeles in Novem-
ber, 1921, and returned in October,
1925, having sailed about $4,000
miles.
The third was Alain Gerbault
who, in his 39-foot cutter Fire
crest, left Cannes, France, in
April, 1923, and arrived back at
LIE Havre in July, 1929, having

nothing like that in golf. You can beat
star one day and next day some
unknown will knock your brains out.
'In tennis we knew pretty well
who should reach the semi-finals and
the final round at Forest Hills. We
figured at least that most of the
leaders would be hanging around.
But at Pebble Beach they were scat
tering the dust of beaten stars all
along the Pacific. Just about the
time this golf championship really
got under way, Frank Stranahan was
out, Bud Ward was out, Smiley
Quick was out, Ted Bishop, defend
ing champion, was out - most of
those picked to win were packing
their clubs and heading somewhere
else. Fellows who had lost in the
first round at Baltusrol, year ago,
now were decorating their wig
vans with scalps of leading stars"
Tennis also has its upsets," I
suggested.

Too Tough for Many

It is much easier to keep your eye
on fast-moving baseball or fast
moving tennis ball than it is to keep
fixed orb on a small, white ball
that doesn't even finch until you hit
it or move it. Any football player
will tell ;hat his tightest tension is
just before the first kickoff. After
one or two body collisions this ten
sion is gone. Nothing like that hap
pens in golf.
Golf demands greater mental con-
troll than any other game. By men,
tai control we don't mean cultural
intelligence, which has nothing to
do with sport
Psychology always plays far big
ger part in golf than in any other
game. In almost every other game
you are playing against some op-
ponent. In golf you are playing al
most entirely by yourself. No one
can interfere physically with any,
thing you do. You can only beat
yourself. Your main opponent is
yOurself-nOt the other fellow.
Golf demands no speed, no Drawn,
no quick mental reflexes under fire.
There are no split seconds of mental
action in golf as there are in base
ball, football, tennis, polo and all
games of physical action.
Knute Rockne, who played most
games well, gave up golf. "Its too
tough for me-" Knute said.
Fred Stone was one of the. great
est natural athletes l ever saw
acrobat, boxer, a star performer in
most sports. Fired learned how to
ski in two hours" Rex Beach told
me Once-yet Stone tried and quit
golf. 1t was different game.
And those who have played other
games so well hate to be buffers and
dubs in a game that looks so easy
and simple.
Sammy Byrd and Ellsworth Vines
are the only two men know who
have starred at other games-base-
ball and tennis-plus golf Byrd was
a better golfer than he was a ball
player, but he turned first to base
ball.

deeply that he became "a natural

nation as rabbi at the age of %,
Wise set sail for the United States,
arriving at New York in 1916.
His first American pulpit was
Albany, where he went to min
ister to B'nai Jeshurun in Gin
cinnati. For more than half cen.
tury he preached, wrote, taught,
editorialized, and travelled to or
ganize an adequate, progressive
form of Judaism in the new
world. His efforts were crowned
with success. He founded the new
movement securely, effected
synthesis between the best in the
American way of life and the basic
teachings of Judaism, and Gre
ated an organizational structure
so sound that it has been literally
copied by other groups in search
of stable religious life in America.
The institutions making up this
structure are the Union of Amer
lean H brew Congregations
(1873), the Hebrew Union College
(1875), and the Central Confer
ence of American Rabbis (1889).
The reform IN Judaism which
Wise instituted has become re-
form OF Judaism as liberal ideas
and practices are adopted on all
sides. Hundreds of thousands of
modern Jews were saved for
Judaism, and Judaism was saved
for the modern Jew through the
work of Isaac M. Wise and the di-
sciples which he raised up in free
America.

ism firmly in America. His life

AS a boy in Bohemia during the
