all under-nourished, and most of
them suffering from tropical ul-
GERS, malaria or trachoma. In the
camp they were cared for, fed and
clothed and given necessary medi-
cation.
And then Operation Magic Car
pet" took over, and in eight or
nine short hours the emigrants
were flown to Israel.
Many plane-loads have landed at
LYDIA airfield since May, 1948,
and today harl,I Jew remains
in the Yemen. Thirty thousand
have already come to Israel, where
it may be said quite truly that a
new life awaits them.
l have been told that there is
no longer any glamour in the epic
of a reborn Israel, now that the
fighting and the dying are over
(may it be foreverD. But there is
drama still in the saga of the 3d.
900 symbolized so poignantly by
the 12-year-old Yemenite mother
who travelled with them to Israel.

America will not fail to give their
story a happy ending!
FOR EIGHT DAYS WE. RE-
MEMBER 1t was exciting to
re-read the story of the Macca-
bees, the Chanukah story as retold
by Howard Fast in "My Glorious
Brothers" 1t is living, breathing
tale. 1t might have happened-yes,
it did happen!-in our own time,
so vital is its message for Jews
today.
For the religious, Chanukah
commentaries the rededication of
the Temple by Judah Maccabee.
For others, Chanukah is a re-
minder of the revolt of the Israel
ties against tyranny, of their fight
for independence which welded
them together and kept them alive
as a people.
For all of us, this festival is a
joyous, as well as an inspiring, oc-
casion. The customs we have come
to associate with it were not all of
ancient origin, but grew up during

Cultural Series

The large crowd which turned out for the first produc-
ton of the Temple Players illustrates believe the
deepseaed desire within community for good Jewish
entertainment We hope that it helps to influence the
the Cultural Series this year, with perhaps bit
emphasis than before entertainment in the light
vein.
Admittedly there is problem in financing But it's
possible that Executive Director Hrsh Kapan of the Com
munty Council has shown the way. You may recall
that he suggested pan of his recent columns
Root of the Matter in the Phoenix Jewish News. He
proposed that every Jewish organization agree to sell
certain number of tickets in proportion to it's
membership paying the money in advance and then
rembursng it's treasury from the saes Organiza-
tons might even make money off such project
Thus the responsibility for the Cultural Series would
be spread out evenly throughout the community
financial success made more probable.

matter how wrong it may be
proved, is as difficult as undergo
ing an amputation.
Take our youth program, for ex-
ample. There has always been a
hue and cry about Jewish youth.
The old folks complain that the
youth are forsaking Jewish life,
are assimilating, are Jewishly ig-
norant, are irreligious. In response
to these complaints, Jewish COM
munities everywhere have organ
lied Jewish youth programs that
tend to bring together and bring
to bear upon them the positive in
fluences of organized Jewish life.
We have such a program in Phoe-
nix.
Getting funds from the alloca-
tions committee of the United Jew
ish Welfare Fund for this program
is harder than pulling teeth be-
cause so many of the committee
men, to say nothing of some of the
givers, tend to deal only in ques-
tons like those above, and not in
answers to those questions.
The unvarnished truth is that
our youth program is the only pro-
gram that answers the questions
and does something about the con-
ditions that created them. In this
program we have the backing and
approval Of national organizations
like the Jewish Welfare Board,
B'nai Birth and the Zionist or
ganizations.
Soon the young people of the
Jewish community will convene a
seminar of Jewish life which will
attract youngsters from other
southwestern communities. The
seminar will consider questions re-
lating to youths role in the pre-
servation and development of Jew
ish life. Is the involvement of
youth in discussions like this worth
the money that we spend on their
programs?
Let's try to be consistent about
local community needs. And while
we are at it, let's try to put into
everyday terms some of the pre-
cious Jewish traditions we like to
prate about. Since biblical days,
Jews have been admonished to re-
gard the stranger as the home born
and to give aid and comfort to the
sick and the poor.
The Phoenix Community Chest
gives our Jewish Social Services
about $1,000 a year to carry on
this work and expects the Jewish
community to supply the rest. 1t
has not been easy to pry the crest"
from the Welfare Fund Alloca-
tions Committee.
Again, what stands in the way
of greater consideration of local
social service needs is this busi-
ness of sending everything we
raise overseas. Instead of debat-
ing the relative merits of overseas
versus local needs, let's raise
enough to take care of both.

EXODUS ON WINGS :. There

one of the transit camps in Israel
The Phoenix Jewish news., 1949-12-09

This would be acceptable if
there were a second United Jewish
Welfare Fund that would raise the
necessary funds for all other
causes including the local pro-
grams.
What these well-intentioned peo-
pie do not know, however, is that
even the United Jewish Appeal
does not send all it's funds to Is
rael. A substantial portion-$18,-
100000 from the 1850 UJA cam
paign-will be spent in the United
States and another major portion
will go to the Joint Distribution
Committee for work in other parts
of the world and Israel.
Only the money given to the
United Palestine Appeal, the third
agency in the UJA, goes exclusiv-
ely to Israel.
One of our local programs is to
settle displaced persons in Phoe-
nix. The United Service for New
Americans, which gets the 18 mil
lion, set up this program in Phoe-
nix. This agency gives Phoenix
500 for each displaced person
sent here and expects the commun-
ity to supply the rest of the cost,
which in most cases amounts to
about $125 more per person. In
addition, it pays for transportation
and other costs while the DIP is
enroute.
The program in Phoenix is car
ried on by our Jewish Social Ser
vices, the Council of Jewish Wo-
men and a special committee of
which Newton Rosenzweig and
Herman Miller are co-chairmen.
The USNA has urged local COM
munities not to send all their We'll
fare Fund money away but to
keep enough in the local commun-
ity to do this important settlement
job. Thus it is clear that even the
UJA does not want all of the
money raised to go overseas.
1T is A human failing to be
inconsistent. In this respect all of
US are guilty. Some of us are very
defensive about our inconsistent
cies. We carry with us buried deep
in our mental apparatus half
formed notions and vague conclu-
sions which we air at times with
great pride.
When we are challenged and
asked for facts, we retire with
wounded dignity, get angry, feel
insulted and generally withdraw
into sulky obstinacy from which
there is no prying US loose. Some
how giving up a cherished idea, NO

WASHINGTON = This is an
Arabian fairy tale.
Not satisfied with their magic
carpets, the Arabs are seeking
something more substantial in the
way of air power namely, jet
fighter planes.
If the Arabs succeed, it will be
Aladdin and his magic lamp all
over again, except this time the
genie will resemble Secretary of
State Dean Acheson.
In Bagdad, Arab beggars no
longer plead for "alms"; now it's
"arms." In Washington, Arab
diplomats are seeking the "Open,
Sesame" to the $1,314,000,00
arms hoard made available by the
Military Assistance Program. The
burnoosed boys are jumping on
the Communist bandwagon.
They want to join Uncle Sans
harem.

IF YOU would believe the fan
tastic Arab propaganda, Israel has
perfected an atomic bomb in CO.
operation with the Soviet Union.
The bomb was supposedly devel-
oped by scientists of the Weiz-
mann Institute at Rehovoth. The
story has it that the bomb was to
have been tested in Negev but the
Jews were afraid Of damaging the
new kibbutzim. Consequently, it
is alleged that the test was shifted
to Russia. Also alleged: the Negev
is "full of uranium" Of course,
Gerald L. K. Smiths people are
adding their two cents.
While this absurd lie goes the
rounds, the Arabs are lining up at
Uncle Sans arms window. Not
only do they want jet planes with
which to fight off Communism but
also U. S. self-propelled artillery
and tanks. What guarantee that
the guns would not be turned on
the Israelis? And wouldn't the
Arab states, which could not over
come tiny Israel, be a worse sink
hole for American arms than
China?

Court Decision May Replace
Building With Tombstone

University medical school. con-
tended the Burman building
violated an 1881 residential
covenant by extending closer than
80 feet from the sidewalk.
Judge James M. Proctor, now on
the United States Court of Ap-
peals, ruled against the Burman
company in District Court in
March. 1948. The appellate court
last May upheld the ruling. The
Burman company asked the
Supreme Court to review the case,
but this was refused last Monday.
Mr.. Burman said today he does
not want to TRY the case in the
newspapers" but intends to do q
lot of talking" to acquaint the
general public with his position.
The site is zoned for commercial
purposes, and his company started
building in September. 1947. after
obtaining permits and other as
surances from District ofncials
that everything was in order. he
explained.
80 Blocks Covered.
The 1881 covenant involved
about 80 full blocks from Florida
avenue north to Park road and
from Eleventh to Fourteenth
streets. Mr.. Burman said COM
mercial structures occupy II of
the % corners in the area and
that IA of the II are built beyond
the 30-foot restriction line.
The Burman building is con-
structed in such way that about
SO per cent of it extends beyond
the line both on Lamont and
Eleventh streets. This will neces-
state destroying all of it, he said.
He would not reveal the construc-
ton cost but indicated he would

the cost Of wrecking.
But it's not the money" he
commented. cts the principle Of

A tombstone may replace a new
y built store structure at Eleventh
and Lamont streets NV. that
probably will have to be torn down
completely because of a District
Court decision on which the Su-
preme Court has refused to rule.
The owner, Louis Burman of
Burman Properties. Inc, said this
today after receiving the courts
mandate:
We've gone as far as we can
in the courts but before I tear
down the building I'm going to
make = last appeal to the sense
Of fairness of the people who
brought the suit against me.
This is one of the strangeSt
situations I've ever heard of and
I don't know why I was the only
one picked on. At least IA other
commercial establishments in that
vicinity extend beyond the 30
foot building line they say vio-
lated"
He not only put up the building
in good faith, but he carefully
complied with District Govern
ment permits in 1947. he said. He
described himself as a victim of
circumstances beyond my con-
troll"
II guess I'll have to tear down
the whole building, but I'm
seriously considering setting up
tombstone on the vacant lot" Mr..
Burman disclosed. Il am not
criticizing the court, but I feel I
was not treated fairly when a few
people in that neighborhood
singled me out, despite the fact
that my building was no different
