Supporters OF the fun amount

by announcing he will oppose all
amendments TO reduce ECA. He
said no member is more concerned

Supporters of the full amount
are confident they have the votes
now to beat the Taft Russell 10
per cent cut, although two days
ago they were doubtful of the out

More than IS amendments are
pending, but those who think the

peak on the 10 per cent economy

likely to put over any other major
changes.
Both Parties Split.
Both political parties are split
sharply over the Taft-RuSsell
motion. A number OF other
Democrats are expected to follow
Senator Russell of Georgia in
supporting the Taft proposal.
Their votes will be offset, however.
by a group of Republicans who
will follow Senator Vandenberg
of Michigan in standing by the

go forward and create well-ntegrated Jewish Center
which would take of the needs of Phoenix Jewry
We have brought about organization among some Of

Chase, when managing our ma
tional finances in a perilous time,
owed much of his success to the
constant advice of a New York
Jew.
THAT YOU never see a Jew
tramp or a Jew drunkard is a
proverb; that you never see a Jew
beggar is a commonplace; and it
is statistical fact that there are
relatively fewer inmates of our
hospitals, jails and warehouses;
furnished by the Jews than any
other race contributes. And yet,
the two greatest philanthropists of
modern times, Baron Hirsch and
Montefiore, were both Jews.
There is no sweeter domestic
life on earth than is found in Jew
ish homes. How rarely we hear in
our courts of a Jewish divorce
case. In reverence and honor for
parents, in self-sacrificing love
among the children, and in unity,
peace and concord, the average
Jewish family is simply ideal. The
beauty and fidelity of Jewish
women command my homage, and
among wealthy and educated Jews
the exquisite refinement of Jew
esses, their culture and high breed
ing, blended with a sort of Orien-
tai grace and dignity, put them
among the most charming women
in the world.
CONVERT the Jews? Yes, but
meanwhile let us convert many of
our church members to genuine
Christianity. Suppress the Jews? I?
A score of Russian czars cannot
do it. Every people in the Old
World has tried it and failed.
They have outlived the Tudors
and the Plantagenets, the Roman
offs, the tyranny of Spain, the dy-
nasties of France, Charlemagne,
Constantine, the Caesars, the Bab-
ylonian kings and the Egyptian
Pharaohs. 1t was Gods own race
for four thousand years, and the
awful persecution it has survived
for two thousand more stamps it
as a race still bearing some mys-
terious relation to the plans of the
Eternal.
But the Hebrew is tricky! Is
he? We're you never taken in by
a Methodist class leader on a real
estate trade? Did you never get
into close quarters with a Presby-
terian speculator? Did you ever
buy mining stock on the represen-
tations of an Episcopalian broker? :?
Did you ever take mans word

NEW YORK, (JTA)-President
Chain Weizmann of Israel, in an
address outlining Israeli foreign
policy, replied to Papal an
nouncement concerning the status
of Jerusalem.
Speaking to 1900 guests at a
$25O-plate dinner at the Waldorf
Astoria Hotel rendered in his
honor by the American Committee
for the Weizmann Institute of Sci
ence, the Israeli President said
that Israel will agree to interna-
tional control of Jerusalem's Holy
Places and will guarantee security
for religious institutions.
Supervision over shrines will be
granted by Israel, DR.. Weizmann
said, to "those who hold them
sacred" Pope Plus, in an encycli-
cal letter, demanded International
ization of Jerusalem and its en-
virons and assurances of unham-
pered access by Catholics to Holy
Places there and in other parts
of Israel.
CA dispatch from Rome said
that Vatican circles were pleased
with DIR. Weizmann's speech on
Jerusalem.)

other in times of stress. But above
all, we prayed.
Perhaps a miracle would occur
"a miracle, in the hard-headed
skeptical Goth century!
Those brave boys and girls
fighting with nothing but rocks I;
those Jerusalemites facing the
enemy at their back doors, eating
little, drinking less, hoping against
hope that a road could be opened
between them and their comrades;
the workers and watchers in the
isolated settlements, open to the
fury from all sides-they created
the Jewish state, out of their need
and their determination, their
courage and their will to live.
Yet there are those who would
add a postscript to this heoric
story. There are those-and who
shall dispute them who main
tain that one of Gods great mir
acles did occur in the last IL
months of our lives.
LOOKING AHEAD, it is not
too much to hope for permanent
peace between Israel and her
neighbors. None of the immediate
barriers are insurmountable. But
the problems of peace, though less
dramatic than those of war, are
equally monumental.
The struggle for survival has
moved to the economic front. We
hear reports of a new austerity
program, involving new taxes,
lower prices on consumer goods,
stricter rationing of food and
clothing-all revolving around the
central fact of a high rate of inn
migration, which will continue
until the population reaches two
million, almost three times the
figure in 1948.

The problem of settling the

finding employment and housing

And yet there is no thought of
moving backward. The impossible
shall be done. Israel shall yet,
with our help, become a peaceful,

assimilated the hundreds of thous-

rebuilt-a community of Jews and
Arabs who will be living witness
to the ancient Jewish teaching that
all men are brothers. =.

participle denoting movement from

Thus Israel moves forward.

Heine was a Jew; and-but the

1t is a spurious, false Christian

we are uplifted by the passion and
poetry of Jewish prophets, and we
rely on Jewish biographies for the
