And II you do, do, you think the

Is it not clear to you that . vote
for Russia in Italy would bring the
world nearer war?
Italian people! Destroy commu-
nism, root and branch. Vote for
peace!
The Russian government has
spent hundreds of millions Of lire
in Italy to buy your votes! From
whence do you think comes the
money for the enormous Communist
campaign, permeating every nook
and Granny Of Italy? From whence
the salaries to pay their henchmen,
professionally trained to seduce your
minds? From whence the paper for
the posters that cover the walls Of
your buildings and the pamphlets
thrust under every door7 From
whence the money for lorries and
sound trucks and the travelling ex-
penses of agitators, rushing like rats
from end to end Of your country?
From whence the -four, the sugar,
the coffee that these hand out to
you, saying, Look how kind and
good is Russia. Vote for her and
she will feed you"
4o,ooo, 900 Slaves Sought.
Lies, friends! These are lies!
Thus would Russia seduce you into
becoming her first western Euro

would she purchase 10000 600 more
slaves! Is all italy not worth few
hundred million lire2 Is the price
not cheap to persuade you to vote

America does not buy your votes
for America is not trying to conquer

salaries of agitators nor finance
Italian parties, for by such means
Is the freedom Of peoples under

watches. II you throw out the
Communists, aid will come. But We
shall not send it to q Communist
government. Americans are not
FOOLS, We shall not send money to
those who would use our dollars tc
finance their agents elsewhere.
And from whence then will come
aid? From Russia, whose own
people 60 barefoot, and on whose
collective farms there Is insufficient
bread? Russia wants goods and
labor from you, for nothing in re-
turn. Therefore she buys your
votes.
Today the Communists speak to

In this emphasis is found the
traditional conception of the jew
that material happiness and spirit

gifts of God, uncOnnected WITH

well-earned result flowing from
good deeds, noble purposes, and an
emulation of the divine character.
The future of man is not depend

reaction of God to prayer alone
but on mans complete qualifica-

ward and punishment are more
properly the products of mans
behavior pattern contingent on his
social and spiritual existence as
founded on his habitual reaction
to good and evil. Thus ROsh
HashOnah becomes period OF
challenge to the Jew, stating in
effect that he is master of his
own destiny and captain of his
own fate, and on that day it is
decided how well he has steered
his course.
In this connection the wisdom
and penetration of the Chassidic
Rabbi who counselled his cantor
to become more manifest. When
the cantor appeared before the
Rabbi to say that everything was
ready and in order for the Rosh
Hashonah Service, the Rabbi re-
marked: Before you see to that,
see to it that you yourself are in
order"
The High Holy Day period has

ChOruso is unique, since it is

has been dying out due to the
impact of Calypso, Spanish,

lican background, Gen. Eisenhower
was nearly old enough to vote before
he was aware of such thing as the
DEMOCRATIC Party. None the less,
he has managed, through two years

his presidential candidacy, to main-

said he would try swimming the

Gen. Eisenhower, who has never
been called on to express publicly
his views on such issues as labor
management controls, taxes, price
controls or profits, is known to have
decided views on all these questions
His unwillingness to get into any
political harness grows out of the
fact that while he goes along with
