The World OUer

scientific experiment and cultural
growth.
Progress is village for the
blind, where nearly 100 new i'm
migrants will be helped to earn
their living by making brushes,
raffia work and pottery.
Progress is new nursery
school for two and three-year-
olds to be set up in Jerusalem,
to serve as a laboratory where
modern educational theory can be
adapted to Israel conditions. The
school will eventually serve as a
training center for teachers, and
children's books will be written,
illustrated and tested as a part
of this experiment.
Progress is 100000 vials of in
jectable crystalline penicillin ex-
ported to Rumania, the first order
of many expected from abroad.
Progress is the contribution
made to Israel's cultural life, not
only by its own artists, but also
by such internationally famous
figures as Elizabeth Bergner and
Serge Koussevitzky, among many
others.
Miss Bergner, noted Viennese
actress, now studying Hebrew so
that she can perform with Israeps
Ohel Theater, has donated sum
of money to the Hebrew Univer-
sity to be used for an annual
scholarship in the Faculty of
Humanities.
DIR. Koussevitzky, conductor
emeritus of the Boston Symphony
Orchestra, who has contributed
his entire musical library to the
Hebrew University, plans to give
a special concert in the United
States to help finance a $168,0OO
amphitheater which he hopes will
become the Israel equivalent OF
Tanglewood.
Situated in Elm Gev, a settle
ment across the Sea of Galilee
from Tiberias, the amphitheater
will serve as memorial to the
members of the kibbutz who died
in defense of their village during
the War of Independence.

A very natural question comes
up relative to the needs of the
various community organizations,
both youth and adult, which re-
uuire space for their meetings
and activities. With these facilities
being completed and with the fine
facilities now available at Beth
Israel, does the community need
additional space in third struc-
ture in the nature of Jewish

1t is true. Deborah Metz
Most of us have been investing
in Israel for some years now, for
a variety of reasons. And most
of us are satisfied with the divi-
dends.
We have created a Jewish
homeland, a spiritual and cultural
center, refuge for the homeless,
a new democracy in a backyard
region.
All this has Israel become in
two short years, in the face of in
credible difficulties-because we
have believed in her.
"Don't give until it hurts" ad-
vised Mr.. Reynolds. "Give until
it feels goodw
And most of US know what he
means.
"FROM DAN TO ELATH, the
country is vibrating with the
sound of the hammer and the
ploughshare," DR.. Chain Weiz-
mann told his people on Israers
Statehood Day.
The people of Israel, nation
builders at long last, are translat-
ing every day of peace into a day
of progress.
Of the 100000 immigrants who
have arrived since MAY, 194S,
over rs per cent have been placed
in permanent or semi-permanent
quarters in towns and villages.
Over 18O new agricultural settle
ments have been established,
along with 1000 auxiliary farms;
and here over 10000 newcomers
in the last year alone have rooted
themselves in the soil.
Statistics tell us that 16 per
cent of the entire populace has
turned to commerce and banking
for a livelihood - an interesting
figure when we note that 39 per
cent of the Jews in pre-war Po-
land were engaged in commerce,
46 per cent of those in Czecho-
slovakia, 49 per cent of those in
Germany and 81 per cent of those
in Rumania.
Fifty-five per cent of the pop
ulation is engaged in directly pro-
ductive agriculture, in
dustry and other branches of
physical labor.
Many are now at work in the
growing field of communications,
where Israels merchant fleet and
her air transport, practically non
existent until two years ago, are
developing remarkably. In the
railway system, where there were
85 kilometers of track less than
one year ago, there are now ESQ
kilometers, including the Jeru-
salem line.

an economical point of view, we
definitely do not need more meet
ing rooms and auditoriums.
A Jewish Center, to justify its
name, should have as it's primary
purpose the preservation and de-
velopment of Jewish life. There
seems to be no more natural place
where activities geared to this
philosophy should take place than
in the synagogues themselves.
If the leaders of the two syna-
gogues and the community at
large should get together to dis
cuss and plan for activities of a
Center nature, there is no doubt

The discussions center around
the organizational representatives.
The feeling is that too often these
delegates come to meetings with
biased point of view and do not
always reflect community think
ing. In addition, many of the
delegates make no attempt to in
terpret to their respective organ
izations the matters coming be-
fore the board and on which they
are asked to take specific action.
The question naturally arises:
Do these delegates actually rep

The Bricker motion lost but it

luton on a voice vote.
This result was a victory for
the view with which Senator

Senator Taft said he had always
opposed policy statements as

Recognition of the Peiping Red
government may provide some
protection against direct attack.
What it will not protect Hong
Kong against is the possibility
Of Communist aggression from
within the colony. It is this
prospect of internal disorder which
the British fear most, and there
is little that can be done against
it but to bolster the military forces
in the colony.

100000 Reds in Colony.
The colony now has in the
neighborhood of 100000 Chinese
Communists or others favorably
disposed toward communism. They
are prepared on a moments notice
to commence a program Of sabo-
tage and strikes which will be
designed to oust the British gov
ernment from this one remaining
door into Southern China.
The British government appar-
emily realizes that long term re-
tention of Hong Kong under the
very nose Of a victorious Commu-
mist regime is not likely. Hong
Kong appears to be doomed, If
not by the likelihood Of direct
Red attack, then by the threat
Of attack from within. In this
situation the London government
seems to believe that it can sal
wage most out of Hong Kong by
making what profit it can i'm
mediately.
The British course of action
is thoroughly realistic, even If it
does smack of political expediency
and the sacrifice of principles for
monetary profit.
The basis for American policy
Is not clear yet. This Govern
ment has not recognized the
Chinese Reds and may not do so
for a long while. Meanwhile,
there is the possibility-if not the
probability-that something may

This pursuance of opposite
policies in the Far East does not

1t can't, therefore. 60 on too long

ifestly won't get them in the COM
ing session.
Strategy to Meet Point.
The strategy to meet this will
be to point out constantly the
plain fact. which is that what is
blocking the Truman program is
the Republican, Southern consery-
ative Democratic coalition. It is
not, for example, just happen
stance that the administration
has chosen to bring up the FEPC
at the outset of the session.
This is to throw Southern Dem
ocratic. obstructionists of the civil
rights program into bold relief
and to dramatic again the bill of
enforcement from them which
President Truman ratified in the
last campaign so far as the ex-
treme element, the Dixiecrats,
were concerned. Later some of
these same Democrats will be
found in opposition to Truman
social welfare objectives in al
lance with Republicans.
Privately the administration is
aware of the danger from the
South, particularly now that
James F. Byrnes of South Caro-
lima has been enlisted to give re-
Spectability to the Southern
movement and to provide a bridge
for Republicans. This combine
tion might very well be effective
IN the South in 1852, much more
than the Dixiecrat Party which
wrenched away four States.
But there Is no compromise with
1t, and the President intends none.
The lines have been drawn.

the possibility that the slain wo-
man had lived near Akron.
P. C. Yost, a former commits
sioner of Morgan County told
Prosecutor S. D. Helsley that he
gave a ride Tuesday to a woman
answering the description of the
murder victim. The woman said
she lived on a farm near Akron.
Mr.. Yost said he picked up the
hitchhiker near Duncansville, Pa,
and drove her about As miles to
BreeZewood, Pa.
At that point. Mr.. Helsley said,
she got out to flag a ride to Ohio
with her fiance. a tractor trailer
driver scheduled to pass that way.
Mr.. Helsley attached special sig
niflcance to Mr.. Yost's report be-
cause the motorist said the wo-
man complained of a foot blister
and limped away. from his car.
The autopsy disclosed a large
blister on the right heel of the
dead woman.
Examining doctors insisted,
however, that the murder victim
had been dead for three Of four
days.

the murderer was familiar with
the surrounding countryside. While
the place the body was discovered
is only $50 yards from a major

Prosecutor Helsley said one of
the difficulties in solving the case
is determination of the woman's
age. She was thought at first to
be between 20 and 25 years old.
