However. we must not lose
sight Of the large and pressing
tasks that will still confront US In
1851. Many thousands Of Jews
in Eastern Europe and North
Africa are being driven by ply
steal need and distress to seek a
home in Israel. The march Of
events in the Moslem countries
as well as in certain parts Of Eur
ope make delay both costly and
dangerous. At the same time the
work of receiving and migrating
the new immigrants in Israel
must go forward to speed the
liquidation of tent cities and
place the newcomers on the road
to self-support and happiness. In
addition. continued support must
be provided for the program Of
welcoming and adjusting those
displaced Jews who will find a
haven in the United States.
ut is particularly urgent that
the forthcoming conference give
an early start to the 1851 cam

dence Of some Christians who de.
serve to be loved. When I speak
Of loving Christians / don't mean
people who may be merely Cen
tiles. even though they attend
church and sing the hymns.
A Christian, as know him, is
one who tries to live that way
In relation to his neighbors. He
lives by the Christly teaching
which can be found in full in the
Sermon on the Mount. These are
the words: "All things therefore
We would that men do unto you,
even so do We also unto them; for
this is the law and and the pro-
phets." This is the Golden Rule.
A Christian who lives that way
can be counted among the noblest
Of gentlemen and is to be prop
erlY acclaimed when discovered.
Such a person is out Of the same
spiritual context as a Jew who
tries hard to live by the ethical
teaching Of Torah and prophets.
Between ourselves there are
MT enough of his kind either.)

tons by reason of a document
sent to me by my sister who lives
in Detroit. A Lutheran friend had
handed it to her proudly, as if to

people who are trying to be
Christian"
It was from the bulletin Of the
Evangelical Lutheran Church Of
the Resurrection in Detroit. the
Rev. J. Howard Laughner. pastor.
My sister thought it was some
thing to circulate as widely as
possible. as evidence Of Christian

ten copies Of it made.
The title of the Lutheran doc
ument was The Children of Is

Maybe you don't like Jews. You
think you have good reasons. But
it pays to investigate a feeling
like this. It may be unfair. It
may even be dangerous.
Jews are accustomed to be
disliked. For a thousand years
they have frequently been insult
ed robbed. tortured. murdered.
No other people have suffered
as they have.
'Tn the Middle Ages they were
not allowed to own or cultivate
land. Most trades and profess
SionS were closed to them. At
any time their property might be
seized. In many cities they had
to live in their own section, the
ghetto, which was chained off
for the rest Of the town except
for a few hours each day.

Alcoholics, as viewed by one
doctor. can be divided into two
classes, those with physiological
/ disturbances. who find it a neces-
sary part of their body economy
and those who drink to find re-
lease or comfort from psycholog-
ical situations.
This viewpoint was discussed
yesterday by Dr.. Robert Felix,
director of the National Institute
Iof Mental Health. He addressed
a luncheon meeting of the Wom-
Ien's Safety Committee of the
District Chapter, American Auto
mobile Association, in the May
flower Hotel.
There is no real alcoholic per-
Isonality," DR.. Felix said, but
rather a consistent pattern of sew
eral factors which run through
our findings.
These qualities" he continued,
"are a need to dominate situa-
tions which show up in head
strongness. sensitiveness. frustra-
ton and a strong sense of lead
ership, but back of it all is a
hard driving force.
InferiOrity a Factor.
"Other qualities are a wide
swing in mood-way up or down
"a sense of loneliness and isola-
ton and a profound feeling Of
inferiority."

Senate Approves Plan
OF Promotion 10 Halt
Plucking' Of fAdmiraIs
By John A. Giles

Senate-approved promotion leg
islation which would eliminate
the system of "plucking" Navy ad-
mirals and Marine Corps generals
could bring about the almost i'm
mediate retirement of 10 rear ad-
mirals, officials said today.
The bill, which now goes to the
House Armed Services Committee,
was drafted at the direction of
President Truman who has ex-
pressed concern with current Navy
procedures for retiring admirals
to provide vacancies for promo
tions.
The legislation is described as
intended to eliminate the present
"plucking" process with it's i'm
piled stigma of being fired. A
rear admiral now is "plucked"
from among his fellow officers to
go on inactive duty. The new
legislation would eliminate the
suggestion he is being fired from
the naval service by changing
the language of the law to pro-
vide that. certain officers would be
retained" Thus failure to be
picked for retention would result
simply in automatic retirement.
This is the system used in the
lower ranks.
Barring a step-up in the normal
rate of retirement, the legislation
would fall heavily, at first, on
some of the older admirals, prin-
cipally those Of the Annapolis
classes of 1915, 1915 and 1917.
Navy spokesmen said retention of
some of these officers had kept
younger officers from advance
ment and pointed out that several
captains selected for promotion
within the last year still are with
out jobs.
Under existing law, a fixed per-
centage Of Navy captains and Ma
rine colonels are promoted to flag
rank each year. Certain senior
officers must be removed to make
way for the new appointees.

Second "Norihwesf
 Passage" Ship k on
 Round-America Trip
By GENE KRAMER

SAN FRANCISCO, April 14-tR- The only two ships which have crossed the roof of the continent through the icy waters of the North west Passage are in San Francisco today.
 One, Norwegian explorer Roald Amundsen's sloop Gjoa, has been on display in Golden Gate Park since 1909.
 The other ship arrived yesterday, in a colorful cermony honoring her crew of IS smartly dressed men of the Royal Canadian Mounted Po- lice Marine Division.
 The "Mountie" patrol ship St. Roch-unlike the Norwegian vessel has never been to the North Pole. But it has navigated the fabled Northwest Passage twice and seen much duty in the frigid waters of Arctic.
 When it completes it's present Vancouver to Halifax journey via the Panama Canal, it will be the only ship to have circumnavigated the continent. The trim, 323-ton motorship has never been this far south before.

 Not Produced

WASHINGTON, April 14-R-Sen- ator George tD-Ga) said today it would be a waste of time for Coneress to start contempt action against Federal officials who ig- nored Senate subpoenas to turn loose government loyalty files.
 The subpoenas were issued by the Senate Foreign Relations Sub- committee Investigating the char ges of Senator Mccarthy (R-Wis.) that the State Department is har- boring Communists and Red sym pathizers.
 President Truman instructed Sec retary of State Acheson, Attorney General McGrath and the Clvll Service Commission to shelve the subpoenas. He said release Of the files would cripple the FBI, smear innocent people and wreck the Federal loyalty program.
 Earlier this week the subcom- mittee formally notified the Iuli Foreign Relations Committee Of MT. Truman's action. What to do next will be discussed at a meeting of the larger group next Tuesday.
