POLITICAL TRENDS: All indications point
to the fact that the position of the non-Zionists
in the Jewish Agency may now become stronger
than ever This is because the Jewish Agency,
and not the Israeli Government, will be in con-
troll of all the funds raised for pro-Israeli causes
in the United States and in other countries
This explains why the members of the Israeli
Cabinet insist their right to remain members
of the Jewish Agency executive 1t seems

There is a statement in the
Talmud that a certain rabbi had
a coat which came from India
which cost 800 zuzim. 1 don't
know how much ZuZ was, but
800 of them must have been a
good deal. You remember that
story about the man who lost
that bet of 400 Zuzim that he
could make HiIIeI lose his temper.
Well, 800 zuzim is twice as
much as that. 1t must have been
fancy coat this sage wore, but
what I am thinking about here
is not so much the price as the
fact that the Talmud says this
coat came from India. The Jews,
| it seems, were doing business with
India.
The fact of the matter is that
the Jews in TaImudic times were
doing a great deal of business
with India. Some scholars assert
that the decline of BabylOnian
Jewry dates from the time when
the trade caravans from India
took a new route no longer pass
ing Babylon.
The Jews, however, never en-
tirely lost their contact with India.
Benjamin of Tudela, the famous
Jewish traveller of the 18th CEN
fury, told of the "black Jews" he
had found in the land of pepper,
ginger and spices" These "black
Jews" who still are to be found
in India, are the offspring of Jews
who married native Indians.
The late General Wingate, the
British commander of Burma who
knew the East as few have known
it, used to predict that the in
fluence of the new Jewish state
of Israel would reach as far as
India.
I remember that my reaction to
the statement when I first read
it some years ago was that it
was the expression of an enthusi-
asst, but I have just been talking
to Hindu-a university teacher
who is in America on a scholar
ship.
I found him extremely sympa-
thetic to the Jewish state in Pal
estine. Perhaps some of this SYM
pathy springs from the Hindu dis
like of MOslems. He says that the
MOsIems Intellectually are on a
far lower level than the Hindus.
He charges too that the MOslems
have never given up their ideas
of world conquest. They want not
only all of Palestine under their
subjugation, but they dream of
the whole world being under their
domination.
Perhaps this Hindu's sympathy
for Zionism stems in part from his
intense anti-British feeling. The
British are not popular with the
Jews of Palestine, but it seems
the hundreds of millions of Hindus
liked the British even less. The
British came to the land of castles
and simply introduced an addi-
tional caste system, under which
every Hindu was a dog in COM
parison with the British.
But what 1 am getting to is
this Hindu's final statement to
me that the Jews of Palestine
would bring about the industrial
development of India.
This is a remarkable prophecy,
and yet this educated Hindu made
it to me very quietly, as though it
were something to be taken for
granted.

I pressed my ear against the
cool pane of the window and I
heard what I was waiting for :
a quiet shuffling of weary feet.
I stared fiercely through the
glass. There they were. Twelve
blurry, heavy-set figures, guns
slung over their shoulders, and
Chana, her long, blonde braids
lighting the darkness, leading the
way.
I tip-toed slowly back to bed,
slid noiselessly onto the sheets
and closed my eyes. Pretty soon
Chana would come in. She would
bend over me, kiss me long and,
often, I'd feel the heat and salt of
her tears. 1t was always like
that, ever since she came to our
village, ever since the war began.
In the old days we didn't know
what fighting was. The men and
women worked all day long on
the fields and we, children, play
ed in the village, studied around
the window and watch the bright,
red flames of the campfires. There
was song and laughter and dane
ing. Black supple bodies, arms
entwined, jumped round and round
and the fires cast an eerie glow on
the moving figures. We, who
were supposed to be asleep, imi-
tated the elders. We formed

ST. Augustine, Florida Oldest City !" the U.
Women In Israel

She would finish her days work
in the library and go to her room.
When we watched the dancing
figures at the campfire, hers was
always missing.
She was so reserved, so moody.
She always wore dark dresses
and long sleeves, even when the
sun beat down upon us and the
sweat rolled, like streaming wat
er, down our backs. I heard the
women whispering that Chana
was ashamed, that she was afraid
to show the mark on her arm,
that the Nazis had done horrible
things to her. And I couldn't un-
derstand. How could anyone hurt
Chana? She was so pretty.
One day one of our mothers"
took sick, and Chana came to
take care of us. She taught us
to draw and even smiled a little
when our trees and flowers look
ed so grotesque. When bedtime
came, she sat near my bed and

circle and with bare feet stomped
around the spotless barrack floor.
Then the women would rush in
and we would be scolded, maybe
spanked, and tucked back into
bed.
When Chana came everything
changed, at least for me. She was
beautiful with her long blonde
hair and her grey, dreamy eyes.
Her figure, too, was different, thin
and graceful not at all like the
stocky women who worked the
fields. She came from Europe,
they said, and I remembered a
dark, loathsome land where had
been beaten and starved, and I
felt sorry for her.
But Chana didn't let me feel
sorry for her. She didn't even
let me love her. I would come
over to her and throw my arms
around her and she would shudder.
I would sit at her side and stroke
the softness of her hair and she
would look blankly at me, start to
cry and run away. She didn't
even ningle with the grown-ups.

Dewey Fires
New borbs
At Truman

En- Route with Dewey to Phoe-
nix, Sept. % (AP)-Swinging off
the senatorial circuit today. Gov.
Thomas E. Dewey fired few
barbed criticisms at the Truman
administrations dealings with
Russia.
AS his special train rolled
westward toward a fourth for
NAL campaign speech at Phoenix
tonight, the Republican presiden-
tial nominee appeared ready to
try some variations of the theme
that Yalta, Potsdam and other
decisions gave the Soviets too
big a chunk of the world.
He got what his aides regard
ed as a good crowd reaction
where he asserted at Santa Fe,
N. M. that the COPS major task
lis to get an administration
which doesn't play "footie" with
the Communists and the next
day say 1--WE don't like YOU"
Dewey also has been contend
ing that the Republican Congress
provided so per cent more funds
for reclamation projects in the
last two years than the Demo-
cratic Congress did in the pre-
ceding two.
That theme was expected to be
a major one when Dewey dis
cusses the problems of the south
west at Phoenix.

Paris, Sept. 23-(AP)- The
United States, Britain and

day for Russias next move in
the east-west crisis over Berlin.
The foreign ministers of the
three western powers and their
aides, as well as high officials
from SO countries here for the

ing, were gravely conscious that
what happens in the next week
may affect the course of world
peace.
The three western nations ad-
dressed identical notes to the
Kremlin last night calling for q
yes or no answer to this ques-
ton:
Is a Berlin settlement possible
along lines already broadly
drawn at recent conferences in
Moscow and Berlin?
Topmost in the minds of the
western diplomats and the U.N.
delegates were British Foreign
Secretary Ernest Bevins omin-
Gus words to the British House

ed that stage yet.
Bevins two negatives were in
terpreted by the worlds leading
statesmen here as having a pes
simlstic ring.
No one would venture to guess
what the Russian leaders will re-
ply to the American, British and
French notes. The answer is not
expected from Moscow before
early next week.

Truman Urges
"SOlid 'FRONT.'
Foreign Policy

Aboard Truman Campaign
Train, Sept. 2S-(AP)- Presi-
dent Truman tossed into the in
creasingly bitter political cam
paign today a suggestion for q
solid front" on foreign policy
while he threw new punches at
the Republicans on domestic is
sues.
For his own part, the Chief
Executive regarded it as ''fool-
ish" to overlook problems posed
by "tactics of the Soviet Union,
but he said he did not regard
them as masquerade obstacles
to peace"
In solemn tones he told a police
estimated crowd of $4,000 per-
sons at San Franchises city hall
that progress toward peace has
been much faster" than it
would have been without the
United Nations. He said the
United Nations one day will
bring that peace to the whole
world.
Mr.. Truman picked San Fran
cisco, where he came In 1S45 to
witness the signing of the United
Nations charter, to voice his
faith in the eventual success OF
the United Nations. and his wish
to keep foreign policy out of the
political campaign.
He said he had never ''for one
moment" underesti,nated the
multitude of problems which the
Soviet Union could cause if that
country were unwilling to Join
with other nations in working
for peace.

Mrs. H. H. Weinert of Seguin,

woman from Texas.
Two ranchers, Jack Richard
son and Dolph Bristoe, Jr., will
