American progress.
Jewish pioneers began to settle
in Charleston soon after the
founding of Carolina in 1870. The
earliest mention of a Jew was in
1895. Religious services were held
informally until t h cir number
was sufficient to organize offici-
ally as Kahal Kadosh Beth Elohim
(Holy Congregation House of
God) on the day after Rosh Has
hannah New Year, in 1850, al
most two score years before the
birth of the United States.
A cemetery was established at
189 Coming Street, which exists
today as one of the country's most
historic burial grounds, with
graves dating back to 1862.
This congregation was the re-
ligious home of Moses Lindo, who
before the Revolution, developed
the fabulous arolina indigo
trade, the backbone of the wealth
of the colony; and of Joseph
Levy, who fought as a lieutenant
against the Indians in the Chero-
kee War of 1850, probably the
first Jewish officer in America.
The brilliant young Francis
Salvador early cast his lot with
the Revolutionary cause, and be-
came Deputy to the Provincial
Congress in IT'S, the first Jew to
hold an elective office in the
modern world. One year later he
took part in the defense of the
frontiers during the American
Revolution, was scalped by In
dams and died on August l, 1176,
! being the first Jew to give his
life for our country.
The young congregation wor-
shipped in several places until
1880 when a site was purchased
on Hasell Street (where the con-
gregation still isl and a cotton

gin was converted into a Syna-
gogue. In 1892 an impressive Sy-
nagogue was built, which was
destroyed in the great fire of
1888.
The present Synagogue, con-
sidered one of the country's finest
examples of Greek Revival archi-
lecture, designed by c. L. Warner
and built by David Lopez in 1910,
is the second oldest synagogue
building in the us. and the old
est in continuous use.
In 1890 Beth Elohim wrote con-
gratulations to George Washing
ton on becoming President. In his
reply, Washington said:
MAY the same temporal and
eternal blessings which you i'm
plore for me, rest upon your con-
gregation."
Impelled by the traditional
Jewish devotion to charity, the
members of Beth Elohim estab-
ished, in 1874, the Hebrew Bene-
violent Society, oldest in the US,
and in 1901, the Hebrew Orphan
Society, both existing today.
Religious education. was an inn
portant part of congregational life
from the beginning. In 1888 Beth
Elohim pioneered in a new APP

cation w hen it established the
second Jewish Sunday School in
the us. only a few months after
Rebecca Gratz organized the first

Truman Spurns Call for Stain Phone Talk

NEW YORK, March 18.-The
Duncan-Paris veterans Post aban-
doned it's plans today for a tele-
phonic peace parley between
President Truman and Premier
Stain.
The veterans group, whose af-
filiation with the American Le-
gion is the subject of a heated
controversy, dropped its plans for
the long-distance peace talks after
announcing Mr.. Truman's Key
West, Fla, headquarters refused
a telephone call placed by the post
here.
The post earlier this week said
it hoped to bring the President
and Stain together in a three
way phone hookup linking Key
West. Moscow and post head
quarters In New York City.
Post Commander Peter Saltz
said he advised a long distance
telephone operator at 1912 pm.

January. 1914. President Roose-
velt received an intelligence re-
port indicating that the Germans
were getting secret United States
assessments of Russia unwitLlng-
ly leaked by Vice President Henry
A. Wallace.
He writes that the report to
from the Office of Strategic Serv-
ices (OSS), and that IL quoted
Mr.. Wallace as voicing the opin-
ion In 1943 that Russia means
to dominate the whole of Europe"
A lifelong Navy man, Admiral
Leahy was personal chief-of staff
to Roosevelt. His book is to be
published tomorrow by Whittle-
Sey House. Adm. Leahy says that
the concept of total war" typified
by use of the atomic bomb is
"basically distasteful to the SOL
dier and sailor of my generation"
He says that use of the A-bomb
in war will take us back in cruelty
towards noncombatants to the
days of Genghis Khan"
"It will be a form Of pillage
and rape of a society done i'm
personally by one state against
another, whereas in the dark ages
1t was a result of individual greed
and vandalism" Adm. Leahy
writes. "These new and terrible
instruments of unciviliZed war;
fare represent a modern type of
barbarism not worthy of Chris
tian man."
Adm. Leahy says OF the report
on Mr.. Wallace that 1t concerned
leakage of information to Ger
many by way of Switzerland"
He quotes the OSS report as
saying the news travelled this
route: From Mr.. Wallace to his
brother-in-law. the Swiss minis
ter to Washington. From him it
went to Switzerland, where 1t was
transmitted to Berlin.
Mr.. Wallace's brother-in-law is
Charles Bruggmann, who is still
Swiss minister in Washington.
Asked for comment on the
story. Mr.. Bruggmann told re-
porter: absolutely, no such thing
ever happened"
Mr.. Bruggmann said it was
most likely" that the OSS re-
port was based on q series OF
"falsified" documents sold to
foreign missions by a man who
later was convicted by a Swiss
court and sentenced to four years
at hard labor for his actions.
In any event, Mr.. Bruggmann
said, Mr.. Wallace never relayed
any such information to him.
Mr.. Wallace's comments. as
Admiral Leahy writes. were picked
up by the OSS:
The American delegation set
lout for the conference in Moscow
in October, 1943, with little opti-
mism, Now that it is over every
Fone who is familiar with the re-
suits is certain that the British
and Americans alone must win
World War II, possibly even
against Russia-and that Russia
means to dominate the whole of
Europe and has already made
substantial progress toward that
end"
Admiral Leahy writes the report
did not seem to surprise President
Roosevelt and that even if true,
it did not indicate any serious
transmission of military value to
the enemy"
Admiral Leahy also relates that

conference call with the heads of
the two nations.
An hour later, however, Mr..
Saltz said the attempt was being
abandoned because Charles Ross,
presidential press secretary, had
said I'VE do not wish to speak to
New York or the Duncan-Paris
post" Mr.. Saltz said kilograms
and cablegrams had been sent to
both President Truman and Pre-
mier Stain advising them of the
planned conference call but that
the post had not received any re-
ply from either Mr.. Truman or
Stain.

Leohy Calls A-Bonb Borbaric,

President Roosevelt told him
privately. on September 26, 1914
that the United States should

concerning atomic energy. He

who contributed to the original

EASTERN HALIBUT
 THREATEN MARKET
 FOR WESTERN FISH

SEATTLE, April 27-R-The Pa cific Coast halibut fishing industry is menaced by uncontrolled halibut fishing off the east coast, a fish company executive said today.
 The fear was expressed by E. A Ruthford, president of the San Juan Fishing and Packing Company. He said halibut fishing was resumed this year for the first time in more than a decade on the eastern banks.
 Thirty boats. considerably larger than any used on the west coast, have gone after halibut off New foundland and already have forced down the price of frozen western halibut which is shipped east, Ruth ford said.
 The eastern boats are not con- trolled by quotas and may fish as long as halibut is available. Western operators are limited to 55.000.0 .000 pounds this year under quota set by the International Fisheries Com mission.
 Ruthford estimated the Eastern CTS would catch s15,00O, ,0O0 to 20,- 100000 pounds, which they will be able to put on eastern markets at 10 cents a pound under the price for the western product.

DRAFT EXTENSION
 E BEING SOUGHT

WASHINGTON, April p R = In a reversal of his previous posi- tion Chairman Vinson .(D-Ga) of the House Armed Services Commit tee today came out for extension of the draft act for two years.
 Vinson said he had changed his mind because of present world con- ditions."
 The administration has asked ex- tension of the law which expires in June.
 There have been no drafts under the present law since January. 1949. and considerable opposition has de- veloped in Congress to continuing the law
 Vinson said the Armed Services Committee will open hearings Tues day on the question. The first witt ness will be Gen. Omar N. Bradley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
 Vinson said he feels world condi- tions are shifting so fast that 1t would be very unwise to let the draft act die.

UNIFORMS FALL FROM SKY FOR KING ISLAND
 NATIONAL GUARDSMEN

Uniforms and rifles for the unit of the Alaska National Guard on King Island, about 70 miles from Nome in the Boring Sea, fell from the sky today.
 They were dropped by an Alas ka Air Command B-17, one of the aircraft operated by the 10th Res cue Squadron, AAF, according to It. Col J. D. Alexander, Alaska National Guard adjutant general.
 The unit, part of Company A, First Scout Battalion, was organ ized last summer at Nome where the ivory carving Islanders go when the Boring Sea is cleared of ice. It is led by Sgt. Edward Pen tatac and Sgt. Anowlic.
 Training of the King Island unit IS supervised by Jesuit Priest, Tom Cunningham, who holds a commission as captain in the Off cers Reserve Corps.
 But until today the unit had little with which to carry out its training. Uniforms and rifles had not been available when the King Islanders left Nome, and the island is isolated by Bering Sea ice for nine months.
 Then the B-17, which left from Anchorage this morning and stop ped at Nome to pick up the equip ment, flew over and dropped the parachute-loads.
 We can be quite sure the King Island unit will meet tonight" Colonel Alexander said. Every one will want to try on his uni form"
