194S ELECTION YEAR

l948 ELECTION YEAR
Washington-The fact that 1948
is the all-important election year
coupled with an increasing aware
ness of civil rights abuses may
well be a combination of ingredi-
ents to produce some very inter
esting results, in the opinion of
Capitol observers.
Minority legislation such as an
ti-pon tax and anti-lynching laws
and fair employment practices
and fair educational standard
bills, for example, may become a
major issue of the 1948 campaign.
Democrats Promise
Democratic Congressman Ar
thur G. Klein will introduce legis-
lation to implement the report Of
the Presidents Committee on Civ
il Rights, made public last month.
And to the Republicans he flung
a challenge. ST have no hope of
the passage of any of these bills in
the present Republican dominated
Congress. Republican leadership
has no interest in the rights of the
common people, but is dedicated
to special privileges for the
wealthy"
Republicans Anxious
Republicans, casting sorrowful
glance over their shoulder at re-
cent Democratic gains in the mu-
nicipal and gubernatorial elec-
tions, are repeatedly becoming in
creasingly alert to the necessity
of capturing the minority vote
and feverishly anxious to curry
favor by passing some legislation.
In certain states such as New
York, Ohio, Indiana, Massachu-
sets, and Pennsylvania, where a
large minority population goes
hand in hand with large num-
Der of electoral votes, the winning
party will need the support of
minorities to carry the state.
Gallup Poll
A recent Gallup poll pointed out
that over so percent of skilled
and unskilled laborers and farm
ers believe that the Democratic
party is still the party which best
protects their economic interests.
immigration
Another development which the
Republicans might try to use in
an attempt to encourage the min
ority vote bears looking into. The
Fulton Subcommittee studied the
plight of European displaced per-
sons last summer In their report
last week they pledged Congress
sional aid in enacting immigration
legislation to implement an inter
national commitment made to the
International Refugee Organiza-
ton as part of plan whereby all
countries agree to accept share
of the refugees.
The Republicans could point to
such proposal and say, "you see,
we have done something" shifting
all responsibility to the IRO
knowing it would be many
months, possibly after the cleo
tions, before they would be called
upon to pass the implementing
legislation.

STREAMLINES ANSHEI
ISRAEL SUNDAY SCHOOL

months ago ana Delng aSSOclaCeu
as Sunday School Principal with
Congregation Anshei Israel, Mr..
Mark Luckens has been working
on two vital projects: the Sunday
School and the Oneg Shabbat or
Saturday session. Purposes of the
Oneg Shabbat is to give the chill
dren a Sabbath day of delight and
10y, to instill them with Jewish
customs and traditions as the
shabbats are celebrated in Pales-
tine.
Fifty children attend the Oneg
Shabbats, ranging from five to
fourteen years of age. They have
been divided into four groups.
The little ones from five to eight
are called K'Tanin under the
leadership of Mrs. George Fischer
and Mrs. Israel Siegal. The sec
ond group led by Miss Naomi Du-
mas and Miss Teddy Fishman is
the Yeladim between the ages of
eight and ten. Mrs. Gilman is
leader of the ten to twelve-year
old group, namely, Narim for the
boys and Naarath for girls. The
z. rs or Z'Rai Israels are the old
est group, Is and IA year olds un-
der the leadership of Robert
White and G'ulah Greenblatt.
The children now look forward
to Saturday afternoons sessions at
the Synagogue, which were start
ed as an experiment.
Intensely interested in the
Oneg Shabbat is Mrs. William
Appel, who acts as secretary. AS
sisting her are Mrs. William Le-
vine and Miss Kaderlan.
The school has established
"Club" or Activity" period for:
a School Newspaper, Drama,
Dance and Music, Art, Science,
Sports and Student Self Govern
ment A definite attempt is made
to integrate each group with Jew
ish life here and in Eretz Ysroel.
Much of the teaching and dis
cussion is done in Hebrew.
Two other projects that Mr..
Luckens has outlined are the Civ
ic Project and the School Library.
In the former various groups OF
children are preparing question
aires and will visit Jewish organ
izations to learn their scope and
function, thus preparing them
selves for eventual participation.
The Sunday School is building
a reference library of Jewish in
terest. They have arranged with
the Jewish Publications Society
to sponsor members in this or
ganization. For each new men,
Der the school will receive book
for its library. They will start
membership drive shortly.
Mr.. Luckens is examining and
evaluating textbooks with view
towards developing better teach
ing materials. A new course for
training teachers and group lead
ers is being prepared by Mr..
Luckens and will be put in oper-
alton within the next month or
so.
By training Mr.. Luckens is a
consultant for food technology,
public health, engineering, indus
trial hygiene and pathological
chemistry. He also is interested
in education having served as di-
rector of teacher training in New
York and has written special text

elusive fraternity than Kentucky

Beetle Season Reported at Peak
With Corn Crop Chief Target

Prince Georges County last year
reported a more serious infestation
than in 1916, particularly in the
southern part, but damage did not
run as high as the five other coun-
ties, the entomologist said.
Montgomery, which also had a
more serious infestation in 1947
than the previous year. reported
that trap records of the county 1ns
dicated the worst spots were around
Ashton, Brookeville, Jacksonville,
Gaithersburg, Olney, Poolesviile
and Rockville.
DR.. Langford said beetle infestp-
ton is worse this year in the West
ern Shore counties than those on
the Eastern Shore Of the Chesa-
peake Bay. In the latter area, the
peak has been passed, he said.
DR.. Langford said infestation by
beetles in metropolitan areas prob
ably is not as bad as last year. He
said use of beetle traps and the ac-
tive fight against beetles are re-
sponsible for the decrease.

Japanese beetles are at the peak
of their destructive season in nearby
Maryland, DR.. George S. Langford,
entomologist of the Maryland State
Extension Service at College Park,
said yesterday.
The beetles will start falling on
rapidly after August 10 until the
frost, DR.. Langford predicted.
Before. 1948's multitude of beetles
call it day, they'll probably infiict
as much damage to crops and plant
life as they did last year, DR.. Lang
ford said. Corn crops now appear
to be the principal target OF attack
for the insects. he reported.
On corn alone, 1947 beetle dam
age amounted to approximately
$250,O00 in Montgomery County.
About half that amount of damage
resulted in each of Frederick, How
ard, Carroll and Washington Coun-
ties, DR.. Langford said. These five
counties constitute the most affected
part of the State, he added.

Maryland now has a 60-day option

But the Navy also has a Congress

; The park project is the proposal
of William H. Labrot. wealthy land
owner, who has offered to make a
gift of more than half the park
acreage to the State. For the re-
naming 1926 acres he would charge
