QUESTION: Why is it custom
.,v to conduct morning and
evening services in the home Of
a mourner during the seven.day
mourning period
ANSWER: Some commentators
feel this is done because mourn
ers are confined to their homes
and are unable to go to the Syn
agogue to pray during this per-
iod. However, the Talmud clear
" states that even when there
are no mourners it was necessary
to assemble the required quorum

deceased, giving as a reason the
fact that the soul of the deceased
is gratified by the honor extend

CATION. May the Almighty con-
sole you along with the mourners
of Zion and Jerusalem?"
ANSWER: In the first place,
mourners are not allowed in the
Synagogue during the singing of
hymns and praises of delight
which welcome the entrance of
the Sabbath Queen" There
fore, they enter after the songs
have been completed and Sab
bath has officially been ushered
in.
In addition, this tradition dates
to the days of Solomon when
two special entrances were con-
structed in the Holy Temple.
One was called the Gate of the
Bridegrooms," through which
prospective .grooms entered the
Temple and were greeted by
well-wishers. The other was
called the "Gate of the Mourn
ers," through which mournerE
passed on their way to the Tenn
pie and were greeted by the con-
dolences of those who stood by
for that purpose.
There being no Temple in Je'
rusalem today, the Synagogue
takes its place and bridegroom:
are welcomed there on Sabbath
morning and mourners on Friday
evening in the aforementioned
manner.

70H Million Paid
Here in '48 on
Insurance Deaths

District families received $10.-
585 900 in life insurance death
benefit payments during 1948. as
compared with S13,806 900 in 1947
and $11,949.00 in 1916, the In
stitute of Life Insurance reported
today.
The report said death benefit
payments here last year were
made under 1915 policies, COM
pared with 1926 policies the pre-
vious year and 1926 policies in
1916.
OF the 1948 payments in the
District, $6.485.00O was under
2.376 ordinary policies; $2.361 900
under 2,743 group life insurance
policies, and $l.739.000 under
1896 industrial insurance policies,
according to the figures.
Nationally, death benefits were
the greatest on record, with a
total of $1,446, GOT 900, compared
with $1,339, 800, 900 in 1947 and
1890. 1862 900 in 1946, the report
said. This was despite the lowest
death rate among policyholders
ever experienced. but was at
tributed to the greatly increased
volume of life insurance owned.
Death benefit payments last year
were 43 per cent greater than in
preWar 1941, and the total amount
of life insurance in force was IS
per cent greater, it was said.

PHotiess Plane
| Stranded After
7OO-MHe Jount
BY the Associoted Press

FORT LEWIS. Wash, Feb. 10
Military authorities pondered two
solutions today to the problem of
bringing back the pilotless plane
which flew itself across the Cas-
cade Mountains.
Should they send a truck, or
just a man with a bucket of gas?
The little Lis liaiSon plane
needed only a slight shove to be-
gin an unguided three hour flight
Monday.
An Army corporal started the
plane on its journey when he ac-
Icidentally logged the throttle. The
plane started down the runway,
the corporal tumbled out and the
craft took off.
1t circled over the Fort Lewis
Tacoma area and flew through a
sweeping snowstorm in the tower
ing Cascades.
Then it ran out of gas and
glided to a better landing than
many guided planes have made
on hillside near Ellensburg,
Wash.
The plane was found yesterday
by farmer. Ellensburg is about
100 miles from Fort Lewis.

While it has been clear from
the beginning to negotiators Of the

could not sign away one constitu-

declare war, secrecy of the nego-

a full understanding by the
peoples of the European countries
involved that the American con-
stitutional requirement makes it
impossible for treaty to commit
this country to military action.
Mr.. Acheson said one OF the
great difficulties in negotiations OF
this sort is the dilemma between
the great need for public infor-
nation and for some privacy and
calmness in reaching decisions.
He recalled with a laugh that he
once had given a lecture on the
subject under the facetious title

that he, Senator Connally and
