Reported Controlled
BY the Associated Press

KODIAK, Alaska, Aug. IA
strong offshore wind aided volun-
teers today in controlling a fire at
the Kodiak fisheries cannery at
Fort Bailey, 40 miles northwest of
Kodiak.
A Coast Guard ply plane which
flew to the scene reported there
were no casualties. The fire broke
out last night.
First reports said an appeal was
sent out requesting aid in evacu-
ating village residents and cannery
workers.
Extent of the fires damage was
not clear in sketchy reports received
here. The pier area on which the
cannery is located was reported in
flames, but late reports said the
blaze was dying down and under
control. Fuel tanks and barracks
were spared, it was indicated.
Fishermen coming from the Ber-
ing Sea to Kodiak reported that
smoke and flames were visible sew
eral miles at sea.

A report by the U. N. Department

To Lick Shortage.
OF Housing In US.

Washington (LPA)-The "neXt
to the last step" necessary to make
the Taft -Ellender- Wagner long
range housing bill law was taken
\ last week, when the Senate by a
voice vote approved the measure.
While hearings have finally been
set by the House Banking Commit
tee for May 3, Congresswoman
Helen Gahagan Douglas continues
to obtain signatures on Discharge
Petition 6, which would take the
housing bill out of the hands of the
committee. The companion measure
to the TEW bill in the House is
HR 1928 sponsored by Rep. Jacob
Javits (R., N. ".
Chairman Jesse Wolcott (R.,
Mich.) has bottled up the bill for
more than a year, and only ex-
tremely strong pressure has result
ed in the scheduled hearings.
AS evidence of the fact that only
discharging the committee can re-
suit in passage of the Senate mea-
sure, Mrs. Douglas states that
seven members of the 28-member
Banking Committee have placed
their names on the discharge peti-
ton.
In the Senate, Sen. Joseph Nc
Carthy (R., Wis., and Harry Cain
(R., Wash.) waged a losing battle
to separate the public housing pro-
visions of the measure from the
rest Of the T-E-W bill. Intricate
parliamentary maneuvers by the
two were, however, cOuntered by a
bipartisan bloc Of public housing
supporters.
The proposal that 100000 local
public housing units be built with
federal funds, for low-income fam
lilies, was the issue. Mccarthy
wanted the housing limited only to
families on relief. On this, he fin
ally compromised when the bilPs
supporters agreed to insert a

last-ditch fight to eliminate the

was almost precisely split along

and "a Democrats. Against public
housing were Is Republicans and
IL Democrats.
If these public housing provis-
ions in the TEW bill are eliminat-
ed by the House, Sen. Charles
Tobey (R., n. H. told the Sen
ators that it would be because of
two of the most powerful lobbies
ever to descend on Congress" Get

THE CHERRY TREE

Over most of the United States
"spring is busting out all over" and
green things are the evidence. This
is so except in the sections farth-
1st south, where, despite the cal
Nndar, summer is crowding spring
right out of business.
These farthest south sections are
around Brownsville, Texas and all
of south Florida. When you find the
growing season is in the winter in
stead of in the summer, you know
you are in the sub-tropics.
Great sections of our country
have their climate fixed more by
ocean currents than by latitude.
Include in these sections are our
Pacific northwest and our Allan
tic southeast. If those ocean cur
rents ever decide to find new
routes there will be some severe
climatic changes.
How many persons ever have
considered the extent to which en-
ployment is determined by climate?
What happened in, Southern Cali
fornia during the war, when huge
plants sprang up and caused
many, many thousands of new jobs
to be created was mostly the result
of climate.
The fact that Miami was select
ed as a great officer training
ground was only partly because
there were hundreds of hotels to
serve as housing. 1t was as much
because training could continue
every day in the year. Climate also
is the chief reason why Miami now
has the greatest airport in the
Aworld and is the principal port of
passenger entry into the United
States.
Geography is the moving reason
for many of our industrial centers
and big cities, in spite of climate,
but to an astonishing degree CHI
mate determines thousands of jobs
and population concentrations.
But there is a certani reverse
side to the climate picture. Water
or its lack-is to be found on that
reverse side.
You can account for the wealth
of the Imperial Valley by reason
of climate, but that climate didn't
mean too much until water became
available. It's future supply seems
assured.

QUESTION: What is a Blut-
strOpen"?
ANSWER: The term "Blut-
Stropen" is a combination of two
words, "blut meaning blood and
'tropen" meaning "a drop" It
has been used to refer to drop
of blood sometimes found in an
egg, in which case the egg is gen
orally considered as "Trefah," or
prohibited according to Jewish
dietary laws.
QUESTION: Why is an egg
with "blutstrOpen" usually
'Trefah"?
ANSWER: We have previously
discussed the reasons that are
offered for the prohibition against
eating blood in the Jewish dietary
laws. The same generally applies
to the egg which is found to have
a drop of blood in it. According

for use due to hygienic ritualistic
or moral reasons. There are writ
ers who venture to add to this the
reason that the appearance of the
blood may signify the beginning

ANSWER: Technically, yes, de-

size of the drop. One should, how
ever, never take matters of this
sort into ones own hands. One
should consult a trained rabbi with
full ordination who is equipped to
render decisions in such matters.
Generally speaking, I might ven
ture to say that when the drop is
on the white part and sufficient
distance away from the spiral of
the egg, the egg is then some
times considered kosher, assuming
that the droplet may not be blood,

Gould, the candidate of the ma

President of the United States.
1 don't think Mr.. Gould expects
to be elected because he told me
that he expects to leave shortly
for Tel Aviv to contact vegetari-
ans in some of the "bibbutzim."
But getting elected or not getting
elected doesn't disturb vegetarians.
Vegetarians generally believe in
exercise-and running for office is
a kind of exercise with them.
Jews, it seems, are quite active
in the Vegetarian party and move
ment. Mr. Gould tells me that
"the spiritual father" of the party
is Rabbi Max Felshin of the Radio
City Synagogue in New York.
Come to think about it, it seems to
me there has always been a veg
etarian party in Jewish life. We
speak of "milchages" and "fleish-
iges." The very distinction that
is drawn between the two in the
Jewish dietary laws-the complete
demarcation that exists between
meat and non-meat disheS-is in
itself a reflection of a nascent
vegetarianism. Mr.. Gould speaks
of Samson as a vegetarian. He
believes that the vegetarian diet is
the most conducive to health and
longevity. The candidate for
president of the vegetarian party
is Mr.. Maxwell of Chicago, who
is Sc years old.

been scientifically attested that
vegetarians live longer than meat

every now and then we see in the
papers stories about men who pro-
fess to eat everything and who
smoke and even do a bit of drink
ing, who are as old or older than
Mr.. Shaw. Presumably, those who
are vegetarians are more restrain
ed and temperate in their. eating
and so can count on somewhat |
more longevity.
I think the better argument for |
vegetarianism is in it's humanitar-
ianism. In that respect, there is
undoubtedly background of SYM
pathy for it in Jewish thought. |
The prophet Isaiah foresaw the
day when the lion would eat straw
like the lamb. Even the lion would |
become a vegetarian.
