QUESTION: What is the origin
of the custom of tying a string
around ones finger as a reminder I?
ANSWER: A number Of ex-
plantations have been offered for
this popular notion. Perhaps the
Oldest source, not frequently men
toned by writer's in this connec-
ton, is the Bible itself. Tying, as
a symbol, is mentioned in the
Bible. References in the Penta-
touch regarding the phylacteries
mention the act of binding them
for a sign upon thine hand and a
remembrance :" deuteronomy
6:8). Those who either wear or
observe the wearing of the ply
lacteries will note that they are
wound around the arm and tiled"
around the fingers. Tying as
means of, symbolic remembrance
is also to be found in the early
Talmudic literature of the Mishneh
(Tractate Bikkurim, Chapter 3,
Mishneh u where the method of
designating symbolically the first
fruit that ripened consisted in ty-
ing a reed of grass around it.
What is most interesting, per-
haps, is the direct mention of this
custom by the Midrasi (Exodus)
as custom practiced by the early
Egyptians. Bible readers will re-

At a meeting here this week of a

missioner for Persecutees, strenu-
GUS objections were raised to sew

bach group, which represents
roughly one-half of the communi-

with measure to bar from voting

also opposed a resolution which
would bar from office in the COM

In the first ruling of it's kind, a

call that Joseph, while in prison in
terpreted the dreams of the two
servants of Pharoah who were
with him. In his predictions he
foretold that one of them 1.-THE
officer of the wines-Sar-Hamash-
kim) would be reinstated. Joseph
made him promise not to forget
him after he was released. The
Midrash in commenting upon these
incidents relates that the released
officer tried his best to remember
Joseph by tying strings around
his fingers. Unfortunately, strings
mysteriously came loose and fell
off. It is quite obvious from the

QUESTION: What is the origin
of the name Goldberg?
ANSWER: This name has quite
an interesting origin. Back in the
twelfth century when gold mines
were discovered in Silesia, the
usual gold rush took place and a
mining town sprang up on the spot
called Goldberg" because gold
was mined there, and Goldberg
means "a mountain, hill or a
pile of gold'. In 1920 when Prince
Balko became the sovereign of
Silesia he sent for a rich jew
named Boruch and asked for a
large loan of silver in return for
which he offered to make Boruch
and his family honorary citizens
of the town of Goldberg thus af-
fording them the right to call
themselves by that name. There
after Boruch and his family be-
came the first "Goldbergs." Some
years later the prince died and
Jews were driven out of Silesia.
Wherever Boruch's family settled
they assumed and passed on the
name Goldberg to their heirs. Still
they remained practically the only
ones using the name since Jews at
that time didn't generally employ
last names. In 1887 when the
Austrian government forced the
Jews to assume last names many
took that name since it was al
ready an established Jewish family
name and most Christian names
were forbidden then.

In at least one section of Paris

Gas Pressure Low.
The. strike was far from being
effective, as the Communists had
desired, however. BY midmorning
gas pressure was low, but mail was
being delivered and many stores
were open.
Most French newspapers failed to
appear because of a strike of print

Mail and the European edition of
the New York Herald Tribune were
published by special agreement with
the workers.
. Gas service was expected to be
maintained but electric power
failures were feared. Postal service

The Negeb Desert, originally as
signed to the Jews under the United
Nations partition plan of a year
ago, has been the scene recently
of fighting which resulted in Israeli
victories over the Egyptians. Count
Folke Bernadotte. the assassinated
mediator, recommended before his
death that the Negeb be given to
Arsb Palestine.
DR.. Philip G. Jessup of the United
States was the first member Of the
seven-nation committee to express
his approval Of today's Bunche plan.
Other committee members, except
Jacob A. Malik Of Russia, said 1t
would provide an equitable" solu-
ton of the tangled situation in the
southern desert.
The committee reached its deci-
sion in closed session. A U. N.
spokesman said details of the plan
would not be announced until they
are communicated to Egypt and
Israel. DR.. Bunche is expected to
send notification to them later to-
day.
Mr.. Malik said 1t was unrealistic
to assume the present U. N. corps of
observers in Palestine could control
the Negeb. He said there was no
reason for demilitarizing the Negeb.
The U. N. spokesman said the plan
spoke Of provisional demarcation
