dar for action tomorrow.

proved by the District Committee

Gated there was one member op-
posed to the bill, but did not identity
him.

recommended by spokesman Tor
wholesale and many retail liquor
dea ealers, but strongly opposed by
the District Commissioners and the
ABC Board.
Opponents for the bill, including
some retail stores specializing in
cut-rate prices, have contended that

up the level of prices here, but
probably would increase them.

House District Committee with
out recommendation" from the
Judiciary Subcommittee, of which
Representative O'Hara, Republican,
of Minnesota, is chairman. Mr..

tee. Milton S. Kronheim. whisky
wholesaler, had predicted a wave
of bankruptcy among retail liquor
stores unless the industry was al
lowed to fix prices. He blamed the
predicted bankruptcies on price
wars.
| Backed by 376 Dealers.
At the same hearing, Chairman
Alan w. Payne of the ABC Board
said if the purpose Of the bill, "the
better control of the alcoholic bev-
erage industry" was to be achieved,
"the best way to do it is to establish
the Government monopoly system
in the District"
The bill would allow wholesalers
to write in the resale price in their
contracts with retailers despite the
Sherman Antitrust Act
F. Joseph Donohue, representing
the Washington Retail Liquor Deal
ers' Association, has reported that OF

January. Kathy Harper was tall but
she seemed dainty beside Evy's five
feet. Kathy could twist her indul-
gent husband, Curt, around her fin
ger. And her eyes often wandered
across the fence after that first day
she came over and gushed, THAT
gorgeous Wedgwood! You wouldn't
sell it?"
Evy wouldn't. But the italian pot
terry bowl and the tiny lowered pic
ture frame and the blue pitcher
found their way to Kathy's living
room. Everything seemed to look
better in Kathy's living room.
Katby rapea about The n~eedleboint

prised she didn't get IL, too"
Then Kathy started bringing over
Curt. Lets have some BRIDGE" she
suggested.

Evy glanced at Bill, but he didn't

Bill got that defensive look.

Bill WaS an accurate player, but
Kathy had a way of taking all the
tricks the way she took everything
else. Mostly with her chatter. Bill
couldn't concentrate. Kathy had a
way of pouting when she lost. That
made Evy secretly afraid that Bill
was letting her win.
So the needlepoint lay rolled in
the sewing basket. "I1l work on it
next week." Evy would vow.
But next week was always the
same. Except that Curt Harper sort
of faded out. Sometimes Evy and
Bill would want to 60 to a movie.
Kathy invited herself along and sat
On the other side of Bill.

One evening when she was out
making coffee she heard Kathy in
the living room ~coaxing Bill for
something. She'd lost her dollar .
probably trying to coax it back.
laughter tolled a knell in
heart.
Evy hurried in. Kathy cried,

reached for Evy's needlepoint cush-
ion, ready to plop it on Bills head.

her fancy work. Before she married
Bill her days were filled at the office
and evenings she had to care for
mamma winter and summer.
Now she had to sprinkle the lawn on
summer evenings, but winter
last year she made that green nee
dlepoint cushion she and Bill were
so proud of. 1t was sacred to Evy
-. almost like a child.
This winter she was making seats
for the dining room chairs, and

made its rendezvous with history.
We are proud of what the last
year has wrought. We look to the
next twelve months with conf
dence and courage. The slaves of
European Israel must continue to
hold firm in their faith for ulti-
mate redemption. The liberators
of Palestinian Israel must live up
to their new historic role. The
men and women of American Is
rael must redouble their efforts
to serve their brethren, be they
slaves or iberators, in the trueSt
spirit of brotherhood.
This is the task of American
Israel. It must be achieved! 1t can
be achieved! 1t will be achieved!

chinations of mediocrity and out
right cruelty. These are but few
of the sentiments stirring in our
hearts at the end of 5708 which
year will always be regarded as
one of the most important mile
stones in Jewish history.
And yet, despite the miraculous
event for which all of us offer
thanks, there is no complete, un-
restrained satisfaction in our
mind. How can we forget the
price we have been and still are
paying! "The heart aches in the
very midst of laughter" Is it
possible to forget the reaction of
the world to the murder of six
million Jews? This unparalleled
tragedy did not move too many
of our "allies" to grant the victims
of Nazism country. All the ma
tions were expected to right an
ancient wrong, but only few of
them measured up to the great
ness of the hour. Israel is an
armed camp. Many wounds will
have to be healed. A great deal
will depend on us, here and else
where, to achieve the goal set to
us by Destiny.
At the Threshold of a new
year let all of us pray to our
Father in Heaven to bless the
choice of our Nation no matter
who will be granted the triumph
to lead us after the Elections. May
the Government of the United
States of America and the repre-
Sentatives of other countries
strengthen the UN and join forces
to dispel the clouds of dissension
and the threat of the Atomic
Bomb. A much plagued humanity
yearns for genuine peace on earth.
May His blessings rest upon His
people, this Nation, and mankind.

Reason Behind
Dietary LGaUs
By DIR. David De Sola Pool

Most Jews are ready to offer an
explanation of the Jewish dietary
laws. Even those who more or less
disregard them will give reason
for them, though they may brush
that reason aside as inadequate
and unsatisfactory for our times.
Those who are loyal to these
regulations of Jewish religious
living will often justify their OBJ
servance with the assertion that
the Jewish dietary laws are fun
damentally health laws. But this
is not the reason which the Bible
gives for these laws.
We may be told that the dietary
laws are traditional expression
Of Jewish folk custom, analogous
to the eating of birds nests by
the Chinese or the avoidance of
eating the flesh of any animals
by the Hindu. But this is not the
reason given them by the Bible.
A third explanation offered IS
that observance of the dietary
laws is enjoined not only for their
positive enrichment of Jewish liv-
ing, but also for their value in
preserving Jewish identity in a
non-Jewish environment. T h e
rabbis have much to say about
this; but it remains true that the
Bible does not mention this as
the reason for the dietary laws.
The Bible gives one and only
one reason for them. That reason
Is not one of national health or
of physical health but one of
spiritual health. It is contained in
the summing up of the chapter in
which these laws are set forth, 81
am the Lord, your God; therefore
you shall make yourselves holy,
and be holy; for am holy ..
For I am the Lord who brought
you up out of the land of Egypt
to be your God; ye shall therefore
be holy, for I am holy"
The Bible uniformly regards the
dietary laws as a discipline of
holiness. Mans eating should be
not only satisfaction of his bod
lily appetites but should also be
an exercise in holiness of the soul.
The dietary laws take one of the
most regularly recurrent physical
actions of life and invest it with
the aura of sanctity.
1t neither yields to sensuous-
ness, nor does it hold up an asce-
tic ideal of flight from life and
from normal physical living. 1t
seeks to transform all phases of
physical life through the vision
of religion at all times and
through such commonplace and
bodily actions as eating. 1t is glo-
riously characteristic of Jewish
life and teaching that one can
catch glimpses of God in the
kitchen as we'll as in the syna-
gogue, and in the home at the
dining table as we'll as at the altar
in the House of God.
