Temperatures OF 20 and under
we're recorded in the suburbs. To-
nights lows were expected to reach
81 in the city and 80 in the SUBJ
urbs. The bureau expected it to
turn off a bit colder Friday with a
chance of some rain.
Special Church Services.
While the home is the center of
activity for this day of reunion,
many will attend special religious
services, some of them stressing
the unity of different faiths.
President Truman and his FAM
lily will set the pattern for mil
lions of others. His daughter,
Margaret, arrived this morning
from New York, to have turkey
dinner at 1880 pm. tomorrow with
Mr.. and Mrs. Truman and Mrs.
David Wallace, mother of Mrs.
Truman.
There will be no guests. The
President will spend a quiet day
at home and the White House
executive Offices will be closed
all day.
Mr.. Truman had reminded
Americans by proclamation they
should be thankful for "the
bounties of our soil, for the un-
equaled production of our mines
and factories and for all the vast
resources of Our beloved country
for the enjoyment of our per-
sonal liberties and for the loyalty
of our fellow Americans"
With Government chlces closed
for the day. MANY workers planned
to round out a four-day week end
vacation by taking a day of their
annual leave Friday.
It also was a long week end for
school children here and IN sll
nearby counties.
Turkey Dinners at Jails.
Special dinners will cheer the
day at penal and charitable insti-
tutions. Jail menus call for meals
such as that scheduled at Mont
gomery County jail: Turkey, sweet
potatoes. creamed caulifiower,
vegetable salad, pumpkin pie and
coffee.
There were turkeys galore in
all sizes for the late shoppers,
and at a relatively reasonable
rate. But the Bureau of Labor
Statistics estimated that the din
ner cost will be about per cent
higher than last year.
Based on the price of New York
dressed birds, a dinner for four
will cost $5.82 compared with
$5.72 last year, the BIS said.
Turkeys are higher than last
year, as well as coffee, raisins,
celery. tomato juice, butter. mixed
nuts, bread, pumpkin and apples,
the survey found.
The Red Cross and other ager-
cies were busy Frightening the

more firmly than they have in
the past. with the new Senate
divided at 40 Democrats and Al
Republicans.
In the House the coalition may
flex its muscles on the opening
day Of the 82nd Congress, Janu-
ary 3, by seeking to restore power
taken from the Rules Committee
by administration forces two
years ago. The Rules Committee
decides when major bills can be
taken up, even after other COM
mittees have approved them.
On the Senate side the South
erners will get their first chance
to show their strength in the Sc
lection of majority leader, and
they are reported to be lining up
for Senator Mcfarland of Ari-
zona. In the party caucus. the
South will have a bloc of 20 votes
out of the 40 Democrats, not
counting men from border States
who may go with them.
The predictions of a safe work.
ing majority in the House for the
Republican Southern coalition
came from Representatives Arends
of Illinois. an assistant Repub-
lican floor leader, and Cox of
Georgia, an influential member of
his group.
The Democrats came out of the
recent election with 235 House
seats to 19e Republicans and /
Independent. With 218 required
for a majority, this represents a
paper majority Of II for the Demo-
Gratis.
The big question constantly
confronting administration lead
ers, however, is how many of the
100 Southerners they can count on.
OF course the number of South
erners who will vote with the Re-
publicans will vary on different
issues. 1t will be most effective
on home front economic issues,
and these make up the backbone
Of the Truman Fair Deal program.
On foreign policy the White
House probably will be able to
keep more of the Southerners in
line.
Estimates of Strength
MIR. Arends assumed the Repub-
ican leadership may lose up to a
dozen of the 199 Republican
members on some issues, but he
expects this will be more than
Offset by picking up half of the
100 Southerners.
II it works out that way, the
coalition would show up with
from 235 to 240 votes, with 218
representing a majority. Mr.. Cox
gave a higher rating to the
strength Of the coalition. He
claimed it would muster 252 votes
anytime it needs them.
The fight on opening day in
January may center on an effort
to repeal the two-year-old admin
istration rule, which weakened
the power of the Rules Commit
tee to bottle up administration
measures. The rule makes it pos
sible for any committee chairman
to get a vote in the House on
motion to take up a bill after the
Rules Committee has held it for
al days.
Regardless of whether the 81
day rule is repealed, however, the
forecasts of coalition strength
leaves little hope for Truman sup
porters to get the Presidents
economic reforms through between
now and the 1852 presidential
election.

At the end of the Revolutionary
War there were 43 newspapers in
the Colonies.
The Southern Jewish weekly. [volume] (Jacksonville, Fla.) 1939-1992, 1950-01-20

BOSTON (JTA)-Details on the
Soviet policy to eliminate Jews
from leading parts in the intel
lectual and political life of the
u. S. S. R. are reported here in
the Christian Science Monitor by
its former Moscow correspondent,
Edmund Stevens. The uncensor-
ed report was sent by Mr.. Stew
ems from Rome.
The correspondent emphasizes
that Jews in the Soviet Union
were penalized for voicing their
affection and admiration for Am
erica in 1916. He reports that the
head of a department in a large
Soviet educational institution told
him he had received a directive
to hire no more Jewish teachers
and to dismiss those already on
his staff whenever a convenient
pretext presented itself.
Pointing out that the new Com
munist Party instruction to deny
Jews jobs in educational and GER
tain governmental institutions
"was not a mere reversion to the
old-time pre-revolutionary anti
Semitism of which a strong resi-
due remained" the correspondent
says that the present campaign
was not directed against the Jews
as a race. The Communists, he
states, attack the Jews in Soviet
Russia as "a cultural group whose
conduct was branded unreliable
and consequently subject to
blacklisting."

for burial is one which falls upon
the whole community. It is men
toned in the Talmud (Tractate
Moed Katan ~ that where no
such special society exists the
whole town must concern itself
with the preparation for burial.
The establishment of a special
committee, group or society for
that purpose excused the rest of
the community from that obliga-
ton directly, allowing all others
to continue with their regular
occupations while the corpse
was being prepared. The term
"Chevra Kadisha" means "holy
committee" or ''holy society"
This term was assigned for a
number of reasons. First, it
might have been ordained so as
to give the group of people in
volved in the task, a dignified
name. Others feel that the term
''Kadisha" means prepared" or
ready indicating that this So
ciety stood ready at any moment
to perform its task. Others feel
that the name ''holy society" was
meant to impress the community
that only the most religious of its
citizens should be chosen for this
task. 1t may also be that the
term ''holy society" was given to
impress the members of the So
ciety that the task which they
were performing was to be re-
garded as amongst the hottest of
community functions.

roots in the invaded Ukraine and
Byerlorussia, which had the larg--
est prewar Jewish populations,
but also found response behind
the Soviet lines. During the
hasty evacuation of Moscow in
October, 1941, when the Germans
were almost at the gates, rumors
spread that the Jews had grabbed
all the vehicles and made off
with vast treasures, leaving the
rest of the population in the

The JEWISH
QUIZ BOX

QUESTION: Is there any source
in Jewish Law which deals with
the subject of mercy killing?
ANSWER: Mercy killing is ex-
pressly outlawed in Jewish law.
Late authorities concur in this
and base their opinion on the
Shulchan Aruch (Yoreh Deah,
schol, 1897. In a book of Response
called the ''Tel Talpioth" there
appears a question as to whether
one is allowed to refrain from
feeding such a person in order to
hasten his death and the author,
basing his opinion on Biblical
sources, expressly finds reason to
forbid such a practice. The logic
is obvious. Life and death is es-
sentially a matter which should
rest exclusively in the hands of
Cd. Since human knowledge
cannot claim to be absolute, no
human should take it upon him
self to decide such a matter.

It's time that we Americans or
rather we of the United States,
wake to color-the Americans OF
Central and South America have
always revelled in it. Long, long
ago, perhaps in the early history
of Europe, the natives there
learned to be unafraid in its use.
