several novels have appeared
during the year which deal with
ore Of the more recurrent themes
# recent fiction: the ever recur-
riue instances between Jews and
.on lows. Such novels treat often
MT merely with intermarriages
and the problems they engender
h,,t also with aspects of anti
spmitisn and apostacy. Usually,
as in earth and High Heaven"
Il is the attitude of the Gentle to
the Jew that is featured in such
novels. An effort to present the
same question from the opposite
side is made in eagle at My

deals with what he thinks is the
attitude of the Jews to their Gen
tile neighbors. Written with UNI

role in that opposition. Moreover,
opposition to intermarriage exists
not only among Jews; it is to be
found in other groups as well.
The theme of intermarriage in
volving a form of gentleman's
agreement in which the Gentle,
Joslyn Shame, and the Jew, Sid
ney Varrich, decide to throw over
their respective family prejudice
and faith in order to marry, dom
mates mot Quite a Dream" an
apparently photographed novel
by Kathleen Hughes IN. Y,
Doubleday, '48). The pair in the
story are from the Midwest, and
the Jewish sutton is fifteen years
older than the girl he ultimately
marries. Her understanding of
Sidney's complex intelligence sug
gests that her mind compliments
his. Yet her flat. commonplace,
anti-Semitic fears have the ring
of true mediocrity. 1t has all the
ear-marks of being another self
exculpatory intermarriage novel
without any extraordinary merit.
Aspects of life in a community,
in which Jews had intermarried
with Chinese families, are depicted
in "Peony' by Pearl Sydenstricker
Buck IN. Y, Day, '48. Like all
of Miss Bucks novels this one,
too, is set in China of a century
ago. Life in China, as Miss
Buck presumes it. was then pic
turesque, serene and tantalizingly
enigmatic. The wisdom of China
and the humanity and learning
of the Jews working together
brought new life and happiness to
the many Jews settled there. The
novel shows the Chinese commun-
ity gradually being assimilated
among the populace. The prin-
cipal figure of this evocation is a
young blond maiden, Peony, who
falls in love with David, her mas
ter's son, a tall and handsome
young man. David, already one
quarter Chinese, is a descendant
of Jewish traders who have settl-
ed in China and have become par
TALLY absorbed into Chinese civil
ization. He returns Peony's ardor
with comparable intensity, but
their plans for marriage shatter
against the bland, unyielding wall
of social custom. David must

Droftees' and Yeterons' Guide
By Moj. Thomos IA. Mol =

Why can't the armed forces get
enough voluntary enlistments to in
crease their strength to the au-
thorized numbers? The Navy, Ma
rines and Air Force can. They're
doing it now, and it looks as though
they'll be able to keep it up.
If youv We been told that when you
get drafted you'll be able to make
a choice among the four branches
of the service, don't believe it. You
may be able to make choice, but
you can only win if you choose the
Army.
It's dollars to doughnuts that the
Navy, Marines and Air Force will be
able to keep their strengths at the
authorized levels without drafting
any one.
There are reasons for this. The
Army must climb from $4,000 to
$4,000 men. The Navy and Marines
have to go from 469 900 to 666,882
which is only about SO per cent OF
the Army increase. The Air Force
must climb from $4,000 to 502 900,
only 10000, compared to the Army
increase of 287 900.
The Navy has it's submarines, it's
PTS and it's destroyers. the Air
Force it's jet fighters and enormous
bombers and the Marines have a
glamor which perhaps tops them
all

The Army does have tanks and
flame throWers and airborne divi-
sions. But what do you think of
first when you think of the Army?
You think of the infantry, the
foot soldier and his leggings, his
cartridge belt, his rifle and his sore
feet. No glamor there?
Ex-Private Nicholas Minue found
more than he ever bargained for.
He had his cartridge belt and his
rifle and his sore feet over in
Tunisia during the North African
campaign. He also had his bayonet,
and he killed a whole machine gun
nest with ito Germans. For that
he was given the Congressional
Medal of Honor.
You might as we'll get used to
the idea of going into the Army be-
cause If you go anywhere that's al
most certainly where it will be.
You probably know that you
won't be called for at least 81 days
after you've taken your preinduc-

that happens you 60 on a list. Also
on the list are others all ready. to
be drafted. They and you make up
the the pool" from which Selective
Service will ladle out manpower as
the Army needs it.
Say, for instance, that the Army
needs 10000 men in January. They
tell Selective Service headquarters,
which quickly notifies each local
board what its quota will be and
when the draftees must be called.
Okay, you took your preinduction
in December, one month before.
Your local board has to supply 10
of the 10000 men asked for. You're
one OF the chosen 10. and you
know it because your local board
sends you a greetings card. When
you get it you might just as well
start getting up at $50 every morn
ing because it's only question Of

The boards action, taken yester-

Each council would consist of

group would be:
To advise the principal on ad-

the curriculum and recommend
possible changes and to help solve
problems concerning transportation

The board deferred action on bids
for construction of four-room tenn

Gil Of Churches, said America and
Great Britain in the, eyes of many
peoples had lost the beacon" quail
tiles of hope.
Unless We can show more ad-
ventureus allegiance to our first
principles in the way of social justice
and equalities of opportunity, people
struggling up out of bondage will
tend to look other places for their
hope" Bishop Dun declared at a
press conference at the Episcopal
Diocesan House, 1702 Rhode Island
avenue NV.
He pointed out that in many areas
the churches have become identi-
fed with intrenched interests and
traditions hateful to the natives.
Likely to Look Elsewhere.
THE church cannot afford to be
identified in the minds of the native
peoples in this way" Bishop Dun
asserted. In Africa, where the
Negroes are beginning to creep up,
those people are likely to look
somewhere else for their hopes"
Both the Lambeth Conference
and the World Council agreed that
MARKHAM Communism was utterly
incompatible with the Christian
view of life and against everything
Christianity observed, the church
leader said. However, he noted that
in some countries, specifically
China, the alternatives to Com
munism appear worse to the natives.
Praises World Council.
The mere fact that World Coun-
Gil had been held was just cause
for hope, Bishop Dun declared. 1t
is ridiculous to expect the church
to solve all the worlds problems by
a meeting, as some people expect it
to do, he continued, but the desire
of these 146 churches from many
lands and divergent traditions to
work together is a long step for
ward.
The Lambeth Conference did not
approve the Episcopal canon passed
in 1916 allowing a bishop to deter
mine whether a divorced person
may be married in the church but
neither did it condemn the move,
Bishop Dun explained.
He pointed out both religious
meetings had stated their views on
segregation. The church believes
men and women "of every race and
status stand together before God as
the objects of His love" and that
anything that obscures that fact
through racial or class segregation
is in the long run contrary to the
nature of the church itself"

Capt. Covell asked the women's
leader, Mrs. Edith Schubert of the

hold up the demonstration while he
checked the legality of their use of
the children.
I'm sure this is in violation of
the law" Capt. Covell told Mrs.
Schubert, but, illegal or not. it is
certainly in bad taste. I wouldn't
put any child of mine in picket
line, no matter how felt about bus
| fares"
| Mrs. Schubert said that was a
matter of personal taste. She said
it was necessary for the women to
bring the children because they had
no one to take care of them at home
Cites District Code.
Capt Covell told Mrs. Schubert
that both the District code and po-
lice regulations forbid the use of
children in demonstrations. after
dark, in inclement weather and for
long periods Of time.

extent Of promising to limit the
| picketing to half an hour and told
her cohorts to take the signs from
children who were carrying them.
