SmuqqIed Fireworks q Peril

It should not be necessary for District
IRE and police authorities TO warn WASH
ingtonians against discharging farecrackers
and other explosive fireworks this Fourth
Of July. Such dangerous pyrotechnics are
banned not only In the District but I'm the
nearby Virginia and Maryland counties
Yet the noise of "bootlegged" fireworks
already has begun to be head in the city
and suburbs. And this unfortunate fact
iustifies the issuance of such warnings as
that which Chief Engineer Murphy of the
Fire Department has Just prepared.
Chief Murphy points out that the only
fireworks that may be legally sold and set
OF In Washington are sparklers, torches.
box-nres, fountains, dip sticks, non-
poisonous snakes" colored lights and toy
pistols OF the friction type. Most nearby
areas have similar restrictions. Arlington
and Fairfax Counties have ordinances
banning explosive fireworks and so do
Alexandra and Falls Church. State law
forbids sale or use Of dangerous fireworks
In Maryland.
Yet the forbidden noisemakers continue
to find their way into the Metropolitan
Area each year-despite the statistics on
Fourth of July accidents throughout the
country. Chief Murphy says that over a
fourteen-year period covered In q recent
national study, a total of 1892 persons,
mostly children, were killed, and 42,s0s
injured by fireworks. And most of the
fireworks which took this toll were sold as
harmless"
This shocking record should alert parents
and police to the need for guarding against
the smuggling and discharging of out
lawed fireworks from now until the danger
period Is past. And parents should be
reminded that even sparklers and colored
firemakers can be dangerous II not ham

ArIinqton Solves q Problem

The Arlington County School Board has
reached what looks like generally salts
factory solution of its dilemma over re-
Igious education In the schools. It has
abandoned its criticized released time"
system of giving religious instruction to
voluntary enrollees, in favor OF dis
missed time" arrangement. 1t Is hard to
zee how the modified system can be
logically interpreted as violating constitu-
tional requirements as outlined in the Su-
preme Court opinion In the McCollum case.
The Supreme Court majority in that
important case held that the system OF
released-time religious instruction in the
Champaign, Illinois. schools violated the
First Amendments prohibition against an
establishment of religion by the state. That
decision, IL was pointed out, was directed
only at the particular program then In
effect in Champaign. But Arlington, like
many other places having courses In re-
iigious instruction in the schools, has been
uncertain as to the scope of the courts
ruling and its possible application to the
oounty's system. Critics of the plan. in
eluding persons who favor religious in
struction of youth but feared that the
county's program might be held invalid,
have besieged the School Board with their
arguments and suggestions.
The new plan meets with the approval
of the Arlington Council of Religious Edu-
cation which sponsors the county courses,
and. at the same time, goes long way
toward meeting objections OF those who
felt that releasing children to study re-
ligion during regular school hours was an
illegal joining of church and state. The
Supreme Court made q point of the fact
that children compelled by law to attend
the Champaign schools for secular educa-
ton "are released in part from their legal
duty upon the condition that they attend
the religious classes" Under the Arling-
ton program, no such compulsion will be
involved. The schools will end their reg
ular classes at pm. instead of $50 pm.
on the instruction days and all students
will be dismissed. Those who then elect
30 attend the religious classes may do so.
Arlington's experiment will be watched
with interest by other counties and cities
which have been worried over the impli-
cations of the court decision last October.
onhand, 1t appears to be reasonable
solution of very controversial problem.

Czech Church Crisis

The placing of Archbishop Josef Beran
under virtual house arrest indicates the
tmminence of a showdown in the mount
Ing crisis between the Roman Catholic
Church and the Communist dominated
government of Czechoslovakia. This police
action, practically isolating the archbishop
from outside contacts, comes on the heels
of q series OF official anti-church moves
which the archbishop has vigorously de-
nounced. The Vatican takes "very grave"
view of the situation. Since 1t stands
squarely behind its ecclesiastical repre-
sentative, o basic conflict between church
and state in Cxechoslovakia would seem
10 be Joined.
This conflict is not a local one. 1t forms
part of pattern evident In all the coun-
tries under the control Of Soviet Russia,
where Communist regimes have been set up
with Soviet backing. The ultimate objective
. As the destruction of all organized religion.
But In this destructive campaign there
are various strategic stages, depending on
the strength of existing religious organiza-
tions and their hold upon. their adherents
And one of the major moves In this strategy
is to gain effective control over the organi-
cation without abolishing church as SUCH
That technique has been successfully en-
ployed In the Soviet Union, where the
Orthodox and other churches continue to
exist In form, though entirely "co-
ordinated" with the Communist state, run
by subservient ecclesiastics, and exposed
TO atheistical propaganda by the Com
munist Party. The calculation Is that, with
the rising generations thoroughly indoc-
trinated In atheism, the churches them
selves will wither away through the passing
of older believers.
This strategy In the satellite" countries
has been most successful with the Orthodox
and Protestant churches, which are organ
ized on a national basis. 1t has, however,
met q redoubtable opponent In the Roman
Catholic Church, which Is international In
its makeup and In integrated In the Vati-
can, the center of power and authority be-
yond communism's reach. In . country like
Poland, where Roman Catholicism enlists
the deep loyalty of almost the entire popu-
lation, communism proceeds with circum-
spection, and q decisive attack on the
church has not yet been launched. In
countries whers the church's hold Is less
universal, more Immediately aggressive
tactics are employed.
what the Communist regime in Cxecho-
sloyakia now aims at Is the splitting of
Catholic loyalties by what Archbishop
Beran stigmatizes as an attempt to found
q new Catholic church without its current
bishops and principal head in Rome The

Pope Demands
Global Regime
For Jerusalem

ROME, (JTA)-Pope Plus XII
has asked for the establishment of
an international regime in Jeru-
salem in an encyclical letter dis
patched to all Catholic bishops.
Expressing satisfaction at the
armistice in Palestine, the Pope
declared that there was no real
peace there. He invited the bishops
to emphasize this situation to their
congregations.
In addition to requesting inter
naturalization for Jerusalem and
it's surroundings, the Pope's letter
asked for the safeguarding of all
Holy Places in Palestine and free
access of pilgrims to them; liberty
for Catholic cultural institutions
in the country; and conservation
of the rights acquired there by
Catholics.

Anfi-Semifism Revived
In Peru; Jews Worried

LIMA, (JTA)-Evidences of. a
revival of anti-Semitism in Peru
since the establishment of the mill
tary dictatorship of Gen. Manuel
Odria are causing much concern
to this country's Jewish commu-
nifty Of 5000 souls.
The most disquieting symptom
is the publication in the newspaper
Adelante (Forward) of openly
anti-Jewish articles. Adelante is
considered a quasi-official publica-
ton and is frequently described as
a government mouthpiece.
Since the establishment of the
new regime, three issues have ap-
peared of a new magazine, Ell
Temple, which is violently anti
Jewish in character. Jewish lead
ers here have also protested to the
Lima broadcasting station against
anti-Jewish references in its pro-
grams.

Premier to Quit
Defense Position

TEL AVN, (JTA) - Premier
David Ben Gurion last week told
a session of the Israeli Knesseth
that he would resign as Minister
of Defense after the conclusion
of peace treaties with neighboring
Arab states and as soon as the
Army is reorganized on a peace
time basis.
Participating in a Knesseth dis
cussion on the government-spon-
sored veterans rehabilitation bill,
Ben Gurion said that since he was
responsible for mobilization of
Israel's troops, he also wishes to
be responsible for their demobili-
zation.
The Knesseth decided to make
the fifth day of the Hebrew
month Iyar - anniversary of the
proclamation of Israeli statehood
-"Yom Haatzmauth," or Inde-
pendence Day. The Knesseth or
dered tn at Independence Day
should hereafter become a public
holiday. \

Petition Goes
To Political
Committee

LAKE SUCCESS, (JTA)
Opponents of Israel's admis-
sion to United Nations mem
bership indicated here this
week that they intend to
urge postponement Of voting
on the Israeli application un-
til the next session Of. the
General Assembly in Sep
tember.
The anti-Israeli forces are
greatly encouraged by the fact
that the General Assembly de-
cided, by a vote of 81 to 18, with
seven abstentions, to refer the
Israeli application to its Political
Committee despite the fact that
the Assembly's steering committee
recommended that the Assembly
take an immediate vote on admis-
sion.
Bernadotte Case Aired
The Assembly's decision to have
the Israeli applic at o n first
screened by the Political Commit
tee was influenced greatly by a
long list of Arab and Latin Amer
lean speakers who demanded that
Israel clarity its position on the
Observation-Disclosures of Jerusalem
and on the Arab refugee question
before being admitted to U. N.
membership.
A surprise development in the
debate was an announcement by
Denmark and Sweden favoring the
delay because of Israel's failure
to discover and punish the as
sassins of Count Folke Bernadotte,
late U. N. Palestine mediator.
The Soviet Union was the only
delegation which came out at the
Assembly in outright support of
Israel's immediate admission. The
United States, while supporting
admission, did not speak up in
behalf of immediate admission.
