With the approach of the High
Holy Days, it is appropriate to
review the impact which has been
made upon American Jewry by
the creation of the first Jewish
Museum i'm the United States =
urobabIy the largest institution
Of its kind in the world.
The Jewish Museum, which is
housed in the home of the late
Felix M. Warburg at Fifth Aven-
lie and 92nd Street, New York
CITY, was opened to the public on
MAY 8, 1947. Conducted by the
Jewish Theological Seminary of
America, the Museum represents
one more phase of the Seminary's
arranging program for acquaint-
ing Americans of all faiths with
the beauty and dignity inherent
in Judaism.
In the span of a little more than
a year since the Museum present
ed its inaugural exhibition, "The
Giving of the Law and the Ten
Commandments, more than u.s.

nave visited the imposing building
and viewed the impressive panor-
anna which symboIizes the history

But the MUSEUM does not repre-
sent an entirely new development
IN Jewish life The seeds of what
we know as the Jewish Museum
were planted at the Seminary as
far back as 1904. At that time
the Seminary Library began it's
collection of Jewish art and ccre-
monlal objects. One of it's most
significant acquisitions was the
famous Benguiat collection which
was purchased by the late Felix
M. Warburg, with the assistance
OF a few friends. Through the
years the art collection grew, by
virtue of the generous gifts of
other friends of the Seminary, I'M
til it's sheer volume exceeded the
Seminarys facilities for adequate
display.
Nevertheless, the Museum
might have remained an adjunct
of the Library had it not been for
the generosity of Mrs. Frieda
Schiff Warburg. On January IA,
1914, Mrs. Warburg donated the
family mansion to the Seminary
in memory of her husband, her
father, Jacob HI. Schiff, and her
brother, Mortimer Schiff.
In offering her former resi-
dence to the Seminary, Mrs. War
burg wrote: "This gift is not in
tended as a specific memorial but
rather as an affirmation of my
faith in the fundamental principles
of our traditions, which can be
helpful and constructive in the
problems of our world today, and
also as a tribute to the men of
my family, my father, my hus-
band, and my brother Mortimer,
who each in his own way has done
so much to build up the Seminary
toward it's present effective use

The newspaper said it was in

was not retroactive.
Jurisdictional matters meanwhile
threatened to prolong the strike,
which was in it's 83rd day today.
The longest previous tie-up, 8 in
1867, lasted SO days.
The nonsfriking AFL Sailors Tn

Still in the argument stage, too,
are rival Clio and AFL claims to

The PASA was scheduled to meet
today with another union, the indie
pendent Marine Firemen, with whom
it had reached a wage agreement.
Several other issues involving the
striking fremen remained unset
tied, however.
Also expected to meet today were
CIO longshoremen and the Water

in separate sessions yesterday
sought to propose specific contract
language for issues on which they
had reached accord.
The strike began last September

for continued control of hiring halls

STUDY INFLATI0k::.
Is IT HERE, PEAK
REACHED OR WHAT
(By The Associated Press


Economists are studying figures
from last January. They are try
ing to determine whether initiation
has finally reached its peak. Some
even wonder whether the high
point of initiation has been pass
ed.
There are signs that these
things may be true. But similar
signs appeared early this year and
the year before, and they didn't
prove anything. The upward in
flationary movement continued.
These are some of the signs of
a possible break in the upward
cycle. There's been a two-month
drop in the cost-of Living price
index. That put the october fig
ures only slightly above the cost
of Living index of last January.
There also was dip in whole
sale prices--so much SO that the
october wholesale index was just
below last January's level. And
drop in wholesale prices means a
future drop in retail prices.
However, not ali prices have
gone down, the prices are only one
factor in the initiation story. AT
any rate, government figures do
indicate a possible break in the
upward swing.
