Champs Again

OnomPS Again
The New York Yankees won their
18th baseball world championship last
week beating the Brooklyn Dodgers
four games to one. It was the third
time these two teams had met in the
post season classic and each time the
Yankees won.
It was a unique series in many
ways. Both clubs practically played
themselves out to win their own
league pennants and had little left
for the World Series.
1t was obvious after the first two
10 games in the series that both
teams were tired. The Yankees, in
particular, had an imposing hospital
list throughout the season but all the
''cripples" played the series.
Joe DiMaggio, still weak from a
bout with virus pneumonia, was a
ghost of his former self but in the
last game he did manage to pole a
home run for one of his two series
hits DiMaggio refused to let his eight
year-old son play hockey from school
to see any weekday games but Joe,
Jr., was watching Sunday when his
father hit the homer. After the game
he greeted his father in the dressing
room with this apology:
Gee, pop, guess what? I lost one Of
your baseballs in the stand"
That's OK, son." said Joe, Sr.
happily, 'T managed to lose one my
self today"

trolls, restrictions on consumer. credits,
authority over commodity exchanges.
Point Four Program
At midyear, Mr.. Truman asked for
and didn't get an increase in some
taxes and repeal of the transportation
levy, extension of the time limit on
RFC loans to business, authority for
an investment study, strengthening Of
the unemployment compensation sys-
tenn, and authority to guarantee in-
vestments abroad-the Point Four
of his inaugural address.
Point Four legislation is in the
works and probably will get approval
early next year.

2o-Yeor Breathing Spell


Atom bomb scientist Enrico Fermi
predicts that if the United States
maintains atomic supremacy over the
Soviet Union there will be no war for
at least 20 years.
American supremacy is predict
able up to 20 years if we work hard"
declares Fern1i, Italian-born Ameri-
can scientist and Nobel Prize winner
in physics. "As for me, | expect to
sleep as we'll as my insomnia permits.
I'm fatalist by nature, anyway"
Fermi was a leader IN the develop
ment of the first atom bomb exploded
near Los Alamos, N. NJ, in 1945. A
physics professor at the University of
Chicago, he is now a visiting lecturer
on physics at the University of Rome.
He will return to the US. later this
month.

The President can be counted on
to revive his labor proposals in Jan

thing about them may depend on
how some Of the special elections to

out this fall.

Czech
Left Face

ISII TOSS
If there is a single Czech a year
from now who cannot read and speak
the Russian language, it win not be
the fault of the Communist-dominat-
ed Prague government.
In probably the greatest effort in
modern history to teach an entire ma
tion a foreign language, Russian
courses were launched last week for
young and old in schools, factories
and clubs.
Students in secondary schools must
be able to read Russian by the end Of
the year at rates ranging from go to
80 words minute. School teachers
must read at least one Russian book
a month and discuss it with other
teachers. By the end of the year every
teacher must have read, Ilya Ehren-
burg'S 'Tempest."
Meanwhile the government will
take over control of all churches in
Czechoslovakia on November /. Under
the new church control bill, the state
will pay salaries Of all priests and
pastors as civil servants.
The government is continuing g
purge of political unreliables," which
has thrown thousands of people into
jails and work camps. Many have
been small businessmen and property
owners in what appears to be an at.
tempt to iquidate the Czech middle
class.
Many priests are numbered among
the victims. The government accuses
them of opposition to the new church
control law.

unnecessary. Wide dispersal of fac
tories is also impractical.
TWO-Year- Weapon
Commenting on President Truman's
announcement that Russia recently
had an atomic explosion, Fermi said
it appeared "99 per cent certain" that
Russia had an atomic weapon two
years ago.
He said Russia got off to a late start
in atomic development but made
rapid progress through intense, hard
work. He said indications showed
only about so to 100 German scien-
lists had aided Soviet atomic work.
~Fermi predicts it will be 20 to 80
years before industrial use of atomic
power becomes practical. He says:
''There may be experimental models
in perhaps five years but any extern
sive use of atomic energy by industry
is severely limited by very high
costs"

spite repeated conferences Of high
brass. Squabbling went on in public
until an order siienced all men in
uniform from airing policy disputes.
B-S6 Program
The controversy fared into the
open last spring when Rep. James
Van Zandt (R-Pa) a Naval Reserve
officer, charged on the floor of Com
gresS that there were rumors of ir-
regularities in the B-36 bomber pro-
gram. A House investigation cleared
the new Defense Secretary, Louis A.
johnson, and Air Secretary Stuart
Symington Of any private interest in
plane manufacturing firms.
The House probe uncovered Cedric
Worth, civilian official in the Navy
Department, as author Of the anony-
nous report and Worth resigned after
admitting the charges were unfounded.
Just a month ago, Capt. John G.
Crommelin, Jr., blew tie top of again
by charging publicly that the Navy
was being nibbled to death" at the
Pentagon under the unifcation setup.
Try, Try Again
A fortnight ago, Capt. Crommelin
again tried to blow the cover off the
dispute. This time he succeeded.
In a dark corridor of the National
Press Building in Washington, he
handed reporters a document contain-
ing views OF three high Navy officials
endorsing his charges. At first, he
insisted his identity be kept secret
but three days later he told the press
to go ahead and use his name.
Capt Crommelin was Immediately
suspended by the Navy and placed
under house arrest, later eased to
confinement within the capital. Crom-
melin said he was willing to be Jailed
if only the Navy side of the strategic
controversy could be heard by re-
sponsible, unbiased judges.

that almost any kind of transfor-
nation in the physical world is
possible. Yet it is commonly
thought that mentally and spirit
ually we are immobile, unalter-
able. That which is the livest
thing in us-our pSyche-iS re-
garded actually as the deadest,
for only the dead cannot change.
The Torah given on Mt. Sinai
was a challenge to this idea. It
said, not only may we, but we
must change. That is the es-
sence of all good religion.
Shabuoth not only marks the
giving of the Law but it is also
an agricultural festival, a harvest
festival. We read the Book of
Ruth on this holiday, because this
book of the Bible seems to mir
ror the ancient Jewish husban-.
dry as no other. Ruth cleaning
the ears of wheat and barley
that was possible in ancient Is
rael. 1t wouldn't be possible in
any of the modern countries,
which are supposedly more civil
lied.
Suppose you were hungry and,
seeing somebody's apple trees or
wheat field, went in to do a lit
tie plucking for yourself. Sup
pose you even try to go to some
big stretch of unused woods, you
will see signs: No Trespassing.
And if you tried to pick some ap-
Piles or tomatoes from a worked
piece of ground, you would find
yourself in the caboose. But Ruth
took no chances in doing so, for
the Torah given on Sinai COM
manded the Jew to leave corners
of his field unharvested, so that
anyone in need might come and
help himself.
The Book of Ruth is also a
kind of treatise in inter-cultural
or interracial relations. Ruth
herself was not a Jewess, but was
welcomed nonetheless. Ruth is
just a fine girl, and fine people
do not find dogmas or race any
obstacles to friendship.

shabouh major holiday and yet look back to
gears when holidays make imprint seems to me that The
impression left by Shabuoth is very minor.
so much ado about Passover you ate Mazot
Pu you ate hamentashen Chanuah you got special
an Yom Kippu didn't all don't recall that we ATE
anything special on Snanuoth or not Perhaps there something
unique Shabuo diet the fact that it is lost i; nv
memory significant.
The Southern Jewish weekly. [volume] (Jacksonville, Fla.) 1939-1992, 1949-06-03

Nevertl& less, Shabuoth is an
e;mportant holiday. It commem-
crates the giving of the Law.
What could be more important
than that.
Mt. Sinai is a very small noun
tain as mountains go. Anyway,
such mountains as the Alps or
our own Rocky Mountains would
consider Sinai very small fry.
Why didn't God speak His word
from some higher peak? Why
didn't He send His thunderous
word from the Alps or Himalay-
as?
The answer, said the Jewish
sages, was that God chose Sinai
lust because it was a small noun
tain. The Lord loveth the hum
BILE. But the Lord also seems to
love those not so humble. The
Talmud has it that "chutzpah"
is effective even against God.
Somehow we have to reconcile
both of these extreme poles.
There is a beauty about true
humbleness but there is also a
great deal to be said for "chutz-
|pah" sometimes.
l suspect that deep down, there
may not be as wide a chasm be-
tween these two qualities as>first
appears. Perhaps the person who
has the real quality of humility
not the phony quality-is able
to appraise all things in truer
perspective, and when audacity
is required the modest man turns
daring. The lamb, as it were, is
transformed into a lion. Anyway,
things like that happen in those
movie cartoons. You eat little
spinach and 10 and behold, you
are a different person. I sus-
pect that this type of movie car
toon is popular because we vag-
uely suspect that we, too, have
this power of self-transformation.
Was not the basic thought in
the giving of the law which we
commemorate on Shabuoth this
very idea that man can mould
himself anew? Science shows us
mat the world can be made anew,
