DR.. Eisendrath warned that Mr..
Morgenthau's continued demands
that urgent structure needs be
postponed until overseas prob
lens are solved imperil the whole
structure of American Judaism.
Whereas the leaders of the
American synagogue have given
unstintinglY of their means and
of their time to the cause which
you have so heroicallY headed"
DR.. Eisendrath said.l almost in
variablY of late we have discov-
cred that the leaders in the her
culean works of philanthropy
and physical restoration have
denied even the most infinitesim-
al splinters of their time or of
their means to religious or Gull
tural pursuits in America"
Criticizing the numerous names
on the roster of the United Jew
ish Appeal who have done moth
ing to assist American Jewry to
maintain it's own institutions in
decency and dignity. DR.. Eisen-
drath said, Because they are in
variably too busy to assist in our
religious work, because they have
no dollars left over, we must deny
synagogues to lower income
groups, close religious schools,
mortgage our national religious
institutions and place our semin-
aries in hook"
DR.. Eisendrath warned that
such an attitude would permit
American JewrY to languish and
die: ITO kill the goose that lays
the golden eggs" "It proposes
that American JewrY try to
hitch hike on the vehicle of Is
rael and to place all our eggs in
the single basket of the Jewish
State. But it can't be done with
out liquidating American JewrY
because no people. no community
can live thus VIGOROUSLY for long:
none can persist by proxy - even
by proxy of philanthropy and the
creation of cultural institutions
elsewhere"

PLAIN TALK
BY Alfred Segal
Mr.. x.Y.z. LOOKS AROUND

NA3Ao ne szas AOONO <A6IOONA .
Dear Mr.. Segal: I come to you
as one who looks before he leaps.
as the saying is. am thinking
seriously of changing religion
from the Christian persuasion in
which was born to your judi
aism.
Now I am man who carefully
considers every important step
in life. Thus, in the matter of
marrying I did not permit myself
to fall, as they say, in love. Fall
ing is too much like an accident
and marriage should not be the
accidental result of falling in
love.
Before finally marrying the
good woman who is my wife.
considered a number of girls for
whom from time to time I felt
the affectionate regard called
love. I considered each of them
cautiously and. finally. after ma
ture elaboration. I chose the one
whom I took to wife.
Taking up a new religion is an
enterr!. = as solemn as taking a
wife and must be gone into only
after the most careful examina-
ton and deliberation. It's Juda-
ism that I would like to take, yet
l must look intelligently around.
I must ask myself: What are
the advantages and disadvantages
of being Jewish? If this attitude
seems somewhat too materialistic.
reply that since - if I accept
Judaism - I will have to live
with it all my life I should know
all about the pains as well as the
pleasures of Judaism.
Will. you, sir, please give me
out of your honest mind every
thing I should know about this.
Yours sincerely, KY.
The answer: Dear Mr.. KY:
I shall start with the disadvan-
tages as see them in the story of
Mr.. Leverett. He used to be
Levy which he translated to Lev
erett in the early stages of his
flight from what he regarded as
the disadvantages of being Jew
ish.
I introduce him to the read
ers more definitely by saying that
Mr.. Leverett and his family re-
side in the city of Zenith in the
great western state of Zodiac.
When he was Levy. Mr.. Lev
erett was a thoroughly frustrated
man as he regarded all the dis
advantages of being Levy. Not
that he hadn't prospered as Levy.
In all Zenith there were few so
well-to-do as Mr.. Levy. But he
felt miserablY poor when. as
Levy. he came to restricted hotels
at Miami Beach and couldn't get
in. Palm Beach was out of the
question altogether.
It was the awful evening when
the clerk at the Shamdale Arms
told him that there were no
rooms left, that Mr.. Levy resolv-
ed thereafter to be Leverett, like
SaltonStall.
But I'll still be Sarah" his
wife complained.
after this you'll be Sylvia -
Sylvia Leverett," he replied.
But in Zenith he remained
Levy. People on the street kept
on saying. Hello LevYI" Bust
ness telephone calls invariably

E. c. A. DOES WELL

The Economic Cooperation Admins
tration, set up to administer the Mar
shall Plan some two years ago, reports that
the program will cost the United States
about S13,000,0 100000 by June 80, 1852,
when it is scheduled to come to an end.
In the first year of aid, 1948-49, about
$4,000, 100000 was expended, including
the special appropriation for Germany
In the second year the amount was ap-
proaimately $4,000 100000. In the pres
ent year about $4,000, 100000 is involved
in appropriations now before Congress.
The record shows that without Con-
gresSional action in the name of economy,
the expenditures under the program les
sen each year. Naturally, one has right
to ask what has been accomplished by
the $9,000,000,000 spent during the first
two years. Here is the picture:
France, italy and Greece were threat
ened with Communist-dominated gov
ernments two years ago but the peril has
been greatly reduced.
Industrial production in western Eu-
rope is from Is to 30 per cent above pre-
war levels The time for this, since the
end of the war, is three years; after the
first World War it took seven years for
this area to equal its prewar production.
While Europeans are not as we'll fed
as Americans there is an adequate diet
with the threat of mass starvation definite
ly removed. Unemployment is apparent
only in Berlin and Italy
Trade between western European ma
tons is almost back to prewar levels but
less is flowing to countries behind the
Iron Curtain and exports to North Amer
lea have been increased thirty per cent
in the two years.
The general purposes of the so-called
Marshall Plan was to rebuild the shatter-
ed economy of Europe, after the most de-
structive war in history, and to avert an
economic collapse; to help establish a
self-supporting Europe to complement a
prosperous United States and to improve
social and political conditions so that free
institutions would regain their strength and
thereby resist Communism.

Infant mortality in the United State
reached an all-time low in 1948, accord
ing to statistics of the Public Health Ser
vice, which show that only thirty-two out
of every one thousand babies died during
their first year. This compares with GAG
in 1880 and indicates the great progress
made in the care and health of babies.
While the same figures do not apply
to Monroe County, the probability is that
an equal Improvement has been made
locally in connection with the health of
babies Certainly, child born in this coun-
ty in 1850 has much greater chance of
surviving to adult life than one born when
the present century began.
This Improvement in the handling of
birth and 5 the treatment of diseases of
the infant is largely responsible for the
increased life span that we hear about
While men and women probably live only
a few years longer than they did some dec
AIDES ago, the little child who scomes into
the world finds that everybody is concern
ed about its advent and its wellbeing.

LOYALTY oATHs WORTHLESS

The regents of the University of Cali
fornia have decided that faculty mem
bers must take loyalty oath which is,
as Gov. Earl Warren points out, in addi-
ton to the requirements that they swear
allegiance to the Constitution of the United
States as condition of employment.
Spokesman for thirty eight Far West
efn colleges and universities have unani-
mously deplored the action of the regents
which was recently confirmed by a tie
vote While opposing the appointment
OF members of the Communist party to
faculty positions the educators assert
that the loyalty oath is futile gesture,
powerless to ferret out Communists and
serving only to undermine academic free
dom
1t should be obvious that a LOYALTY
oath means nothing to fanatical Com
munist. Such a person will take all the
oaths thrown at him and continue to take
advantage of those gullible enough to he.
lieve that a traitors loyalty can be tested
by such an affirmation.

Admiral Sherman says that the Unit

he said, with the quality of Navy aviation

The views expressed by the Admiral
