from Moscow said foreign diplo-
mats in the Russian Capital believe
Mr.. Stain will accept.
The q. N. informants said the
big question is what reply Mr.. Tru-
man will make to the letter.
White House officials at Key West,
Fla, where Mr.. Truman now Is va
cationing. had no comment yester-
day on the Lie-Evatt appeal. The
latest word here from White House
ofncials was that the President pre-
ferred trying to settle disputes
through the q. n. rather than
through independent talks.
Election Influence Cited.
Because of Mr.. Lies and Dr.
Evatt's high positions in the U. N.
and because their appeal was an
invocation of a Mexican resolution
approved recently by the U. N. Gen.
eral Assembly. U. N. oficials felt
the Presidents objection to direct
talks might be removed.
The Mexican resolution calls for
big power cooperation in the solu-
.tion of world problems.
The U. N. officials, who refused
to be quoted by name, based their
belief in Mr.. Stains acceptance
partly on the Soviet press favor
able reaction to a Washington COL
umnist's recent suggestion that Mr.
Truman and Mr.. Stain meet.
Some thought, also that Mr.. Tru-
mans election victory might int1u-
ence him and Mr.. Stain. They said
the President could attend such a
meeting now with the support Of
the American voters and a four
year term ahead Of him-a fact
that would dispel any uncertainty
Mr. Stain may have had as to
whether Mr.. Truman spoke for =
majority of the American people.
Some officials, who viewed the Lie
Evatt letter as a Russian victory,
pointed out that the United States,
Britain and France have said they
would not negotiate the Berlin case
while the Soviet blockade OF Berlin
still existed. The new proposal,
they said, actually is an attempt to
open four-power negotiations while
the blockade continues.
The Western powers were viewed
by some, however, as having been
actually negotiating on Berlin in
their talks with the six neutral
members of the Security Council.
These talks are continuing. DIR
Juan A. Bramuglia, Argentine For
eign Minister and president Of the
Security Council, is working on a
new formula for settling the Berlin
dispute.
Mr.. Bramuglia plans to meet to-
night with the other five neutrals.

Dr.. Condor Claims 'Vindicotion'
In thomas Failure to Hear Him

Jury last week on charges Of con-
spring to defraud the Government
by padding his ofiice payroll, DR..
Condor commented that the COM
mittee chairman now will have
first-hand experience" in appre-
ciating the Importance of civil rights
guarantees for accused persons.
The House committee, DR.. Con-
don said, should make some basic
reforms to assure American prin-
ciples of fair play" Such reforms,
he said, might include:
Provision that no individual
would be the subject Of public ac-
cusations without having been given
a previous opportunity to know
about such accusations 50 that he
could answer them at once.
Assurance of promptly held hear
ings conducted In a sober, judicial
hearing.
THE right (of witnesseO to be
represented by counsel at hearings,
of presenting witnesses on their
own behalf, and of briefly cross
examining witnesses who testify
against them"
Promises No Witch Hunt.
On the Senate side today, Senator
Mcclellan, Democrat, OF Arkansas,
who Is scheduled to head the Com
mittee on Expenditures in the Ex-
ecutive Departments, declared:

AS far as I am concerned there will
be no headline seeking In an effort
to smear somebody I am not i'm
plying that this has been done
either by Senate or House COM
mitees. But see our Job as more
supervisory than investigatory. We
will carefully check the efficiency
and facilities OF all Government
agencies, bureaus and departments"
Much of the committees investi-
eating work during the last two
years was handled by subcom-
mittee headed by Senator Ferguson.
Republican, Of Michigan. Senator
Mcclellan said Senators Hoey Of
North Carolina or O'Conor Of
Maryland are in line for the chair
manship of that subcommittee.
There will be four Democrats and
three Republicans on the subcom-
mittee, he explained. He added
that he plans to continue a rule

DR.. Edward U. Condor, director OF

"vindicated' by failure of the House

ties to give him a hearing ON its
charge that he was lone of the

to take 1t up as matter of courtesy
to me or for any other reason, that's
all right with me. But I do not con-
tend that they should open 1t just

that the House committee be con-
tinued but with major reforms"

tinuance Of the committee because
1t has an important and difncult
function to perform, do not think
1t should be merely for more and

"First of all, 1t should reform its

more like the usual congressional
committee. It could look into needs
and activities of executive agencies
such as the FBI, for instance, and
back them up in Congress If they
need more funds or authority"

QUESTION: What is the mean
ing and derivation of the name
"Judah?"
ANSWER: Judah" is also a
Biblical name with it's meaning
clearly explained in the Bible
Judah was one of the twelve sons
OF Jacob who came from the
mother Leah. The Bible writes;
And she conceived again and
bore a son and she said This time
Will | praise the Lord Therefore
she called his son Judah" :"
Genesis 29:35). The name Judah
therefore comes from the Hebrew
root meaning to praise"
= =
QUESTION: What is the mean
ing and derivation of the name
"John?"
ANSWER tt is generally be-
lleved that John" is a short form
or contraction of the Hebrew
name "Jochanan" which means
cd is gracious" or God is
merciful." "Yo" means cd"
and "Chonon" means "is graci-
ous." Sometimes we find the
second half of the name used
alone as a short form. Thus the
name "Chonom" means gracious"
as it is used as a Hebrew name.
i s. s.
QUESTION: Why do Jews gen.
orally. refrain from using the
word "John?"
ANSWER: There seems to be
two theories on the subject. Eth
er it was originally self
inflicted abstinence because of its
association with the Christian
John the Baptist, or it may pos
sibfy be that the early Christians
prohibited the Jews from using
the name that had once been
assigned to great Christian.
History finds many occasions
where names have either been
forced upon or denied to Jews.

QUESTION: What is the origin
of the name "Tzipporah?" (Sub-
mitted by T. D.. Boston. Mass.)

Biblical name. 1t is found in the
Bible as the name of the wife of
Moses Exodus 2:21) who was the
