BY NATHAN zIPRIN

A recent survey made in Philadelphia's schools
disclosed that the prejudice pattern starts early in
life and that children begin rejecting adult social
attitudes at the ripe age of five.
Shortly after the reported survey, prominent
Harvard University social pathologist disclosed at
the annual convention of the American Psycholo-
gical Association that study he made showed
that the prejudices which children acquire in their
homes cannot be successfully offset by anti-bias
efforts of school, church and state.
Still later, at meeting of the College-Age In
ter-Group Conference of the National Conference
of Christians and Jews it was suggested with
equal authority that the school system offers the
best medium for the promotion of inter-faith and
inter-racial relations.

Squuring the Circle Of Prejudice

To the student of social science these conflicting
views may not be battling In fact, he may be able
to correlate them under some larger and al-inclu-
sive social formula But to the simple laynan they
are rather disturbing, for they offer no hope for
the solution of one of the most pressing problems
If prejudices begin at five and if they cannot be
offset by anti-bias activities in school and church
then the utilization of school and church as me-
dunn of combat against the evil becomes an empty
gesture.
We do not want to appear overduly pessimistic.
But we are disinclined to believe that the circle
can be squared This, of course does not mean that
we must despair of ever bringing understanding
among human beings of different faiths and colors
For if the circle is ever going to be squared it will
be only through the application of intelligence and
knowledge

Succoth Program
On Air Sunday

On September oath, the Eternal
Light, (12:3O-1:OO PM, DIST,
NBC Network, in observance of
the festival of Succoth, will pre-
sent "Ecclesiastes," arranged by
Peter Lyon and based upon the
Biblical Book Of Ecclesiastes, &C
cording to an announcement by
the Jewish Theological Seminary
of America under whose auspices
the program is conducted. The
Eternal Light, a coast-to-coast
radio program, is presented as a
public service of the National
Broadcasting Company.
In commemoration of Succoth,
at which time the Book of Ec-
clesiastes additionally is read,
this second program of the regu-
lar Eternal Light dramatic series
tells the unusual story of how
this Book of the Bible was con-
demned as heresy-and the way
in which it finally became part
of the sacred Canon.

Listeners Want
"Tzeno, Tzena"
Cut OFF Air

WASHINGTON, (JTA) -Ra-
dio Station VOL has received
protests against the broadcasting
of the Israel song hit, "Tzena,
Tzena" based on the accusation
that it is a subversive Commun-
ist melody.
A spokesman for VOL told the
Jewish Telegraphic Agency that
one listener demanded that
'Tzena, Tenza" be cut off the air
because our troops are fighting
and dying to stop Communism in
Korea" and that no song with a
Russian background should be
played here.
The Isra Ell Embassy has ex-
planned that the song was written
in Israel during the Arab-Jewish
war and has not the faintest con-
nection with Communism. It has
to do with such subversive activi-
ties as girls and soldiers dancing
the Hora in a village square.
Station VOL will continue to
broadcast 'Tzena, Tzena," its
spokesman said.

In his letter, the Israel Repre-
sentative rejected as groundless
the claim of Jordan that Israel
had occupied territory in the vi
cinity of Naharayim in alleged
violation of the Armistice Agree
ment.
Mr.. Eban declared that the
maps delineating the Armistice
Demarcation Line prove clearly
that Israel forces are entitled to
be where they are. Realizing
this. he said. "the Jordan author
tiles take refuge in the absurditY
that the document is forged
"A serious view must be taken
of this attempt by Jordan to re-
pudiate an armistice document
bearing its own signature. More
over, if it is true, as reported,
that Jordan Ministers h We
threatened to use force in support
of this illusionary and unsubstan-
tiated charge, it will surely be
necessary for international action
to be taken against any such re-
pudiation of the Armistice Agree
ment," Mr.. Eban stated in his
letter.
He pointed out that members
of the Egyptian Government have
also made public statements re-
Gently containing the unfounded
implications that that Govern
ment. despite the Armistice
Agreement. is free to embark on
armed intervention against Israel
at such time as it may deem
necessary.
Referring to the persistent
tendency on the part OF the AraD
Governments to violate the Arm
istice Agreements" he emphasiz-
ed that the Egyptian blockade
has recently elected protests
from several UN members whose
legitimate commerce has been
molested.

and Israel is still striving for its

PLAIN TALK.
ABOUT ANOTHER RELIGION
BY Alfred Segal

/ was standing reverentlY at
the feet Of Sister Alphonse in her
plain. black coffin. She was laid
out in religious state just outside
the chapel of the convent of the
Little Sisters Of the Poor. waiting
for her funeral day.
She looked like a small, frail
girl sleeping there in the white
hood of her Order. The folded
hands grasped a parchment copy
of the vow she had taken when
she was very young. The words
on the parchment said she would
forever be faithful in the doing
of loving kindness for the poor.
Now she was going away and
she was taking along the docu-
ment as testimony that her hands
had always been faithful as she
had promised they would. She
might show it to the angels:
This is what swore to when /
was very young and was faith
full in all my years. even to the
18th of my life. This is the testi-
monY that my hands and my vow
have been like one in all the
days"
Sister Alphonse had been in the
convent 35 years.

uallY on a journey through the
convent. The Sister Superior had
been leading me around the con-
vent that I might witness the
work of charity that was being
done there. It had to do with old
people whom the Sisters of the
Poor sheltered in their house. in
accordance with their vows.
We went up and down stairs.
Nuns were doing the cooking;
they were keeping the place spot
less with their own hands; they
were nursing the sick; they were
carrying trays to the dining
halls to feed the old men and
women. There was mental work
to do, but they were serving God
with their hands and nothing
could be dirty work since it was
dedicated to Him.
Others Of their church could
sing to Him. or preach in His
name. or as philosophers expound
the theology but the Sisters of
the Poor were serving Him by
humble toll I'VE just do
about everything around here"
Sister Mary Alexis was saying.
Of course. they all went to Mass
at six in the morning and after
that each took up her duty in
the house. like housemaid for
God. doing the work.
When we had come to the third
floor Sister Mary Alexis said
"Would you like to see Sister
Alfonso? She's right down this
hallway"

died yesterday. We are burying
her tomorrow"
Before that there had been no
intimation that some one was
dead in the house. The busy
work of charity couldn't stop and
the workers were keeping at
their devoted tasks all around
Sister Alfonso. The old people
had to be fed; the sick among
them had to be served: the gro

of food and that had to be taken
