since ancient times. To every
generation, the Hebrew festivals
and holy days have brought
beauty, cheer and hope. To Jews
in every land, holidays have
served as constant reminders Of
great personalities and events in
the 1000 years of Jewish history,
as symbols of lofty ideals, of re-
ligiouS faith and as strong bonds
uniting all Jews.

tons and wanderings h a d they |
not been so devoted to their fes-
rivals and customs. Thus, we have |
a whole series of special holy
days dedicated to the ideals Of
the Jewish heritage. Achad Ha'-
am, the noted philosopher Of
modern Zionism, said that more
than Israel has kept the Sabbath,
it was the Sabbath whic h has
kept Israel" This thought as ap-
piled to the Sabbath might well
include the whole range of Jew
ish observances the year round.
The discipline of observance was
the spiritual armament which
helped the Jewish people remain
alive while their prosecutors over
the centuries p passed from the
stage of history.
Each holiday tells an important
story from the long and eventful
Jewish past. Passover recalls the
Exodus from Egypt; Shabuot is
a reminder of the giving of the
Ten Commandments and brings
back memories of the agricultur-
al life in ancient Palestine. Sue
cot, the Feast of Booths, recounts
the journey of the Israelites
through the desert to the Prom
ised Land. Then there is Chanu-
kah recalling the successful re-
volt of the Maccabees against
Hellenic oppression. Purim re-
calls the story of Humans efforts
to destroy Israel, and has been
an eternal lesson to all his sue
cessors through the ages, up
through Hitler of current history,
that Israel is an Eternal People.
And so while celebrating their
holidays Jews of every age have
felt themselves links in the long
chain of Jewish history.
Rosh Hashonah and Yono Kippltr
Are Purely Religious Occasions
Now, while the various holi-
days, festivals and fast days COM
memorate historic events, RoSh
Hashonah, the Hebrew New Year,
and Yom Kippur, the Day of
Atonement, are purely religious
occasions, devoted to prayer and
serious thought, when Jews take
spiritual stock. While on most
festivals the Jew seeks commun-
ion with God through joy, on
Rosh Hashonah and Yom Kippur
it is sought through solemnity.
All Jewish observances are
bound up with the experiences
of the Jewish people, but the He
brew New Year and the Day of
Atonement are dedicated to uni
versal lessons when all men and
all nations pass before God.
Hence, Rosh Hashanah and Yom
Kippur are known as the
"Yamim Noraim"-"The Days of
Ave." when all living things pass
before God like sheep before a
shepherd, to stand in judgment
for their deeds of the past year.
The Jewish New Year stands
out in definite contrast to the |
non-Jewish New Year. Rosh |
Hashanah is observed without |
fanfare and ostentation, hilarity |
or intoxication of the senses. It
is a solemn day, for it is a day of
reckoning. It is a day of judg-
ment when man faces his Maker.
The reckoning or stock taking is
not in material acquisitions but
in terms of spiritual achieve
mentS.

A., B. & ". Opposed
To Arbitration, ice
Hearing Is Told

Arbitration of it's current labor
dispute would be against the pol
icy of the Alexandria, Bancroft
& Washington Transit Co., the
Interstate Commerce Commission
was told today.
The statement was made by S.
Harrison Kahn, company attor-
ney. at a hearing on Virginia s
request to dismiss a union plea
for the ICC to cancel the COM
pany's certificate to operate. The
commission took the States re-
quest under adviSement.
Virginia took over the strike
threatened bus line, which oper-
ates into the District, in July and
has since operated it. The union
contends Virginia lacks proper
certificate to operate in inter-
state commerce.
Cites Lack of Certificate.
The union has attacked the
States "no-strike law" as invalid
and asked the ICC not to become
party to any plan to deny work
ers the right to strike.
Mr.. Kahn. in arguing for dis
missal of the union complaint
said there is no legal basis for the
commission to hold a hearing. He
contended not a single member OF
the public has complained to any
regulatory body about the service
being rendered under Virginia
operation.
He said three company propos-
ais for settlement of the dispute
were rejected by the union.
Attorney John r. Foley, for the
workers, said Virginia does not
have certificate to operate in
interstate commerce. He pointed
out the ICC in the past has grant
ed certificates to states. but Vir-
ginia has not even asked for one
Almond Hopes for Settlement.
He argued Virginia under ICC
regulations cannot qualify a.
an interstate operator of the
A. B. & w. He described the State
as an "interloper," who has come
in to operate the line.
Virginia Attorney General j
Lindsay Almond, jr., closing the
case on behalf of Gov. Battle anc
the Virginia Corporation Commits
sion, said he hopes both sides gel
together in the labor dispute. He
declared if the ICC rules Virginia
cannot operate in interstate com.
merce through the A. B. g. w., il
will continue to operate the line
within the State.
He said this would mean that
many of the lines employees would
have to be laid off. He denied
there is any perpetual freeze on
wages, as union spokesmen con-
tended.

Plan for Moving
Capital Debated
ByRouseGroup
Potmun Measure Due
For Further Study
By Rules Committee

The subject of moving the Cap
ital was the subject of a brisk
but inconclusive exchange before
a Congressional committee today.
Representative Patman, Demo-
crat, of Texas. urged the House
Rules Committee to study his
proposal for moving the city to
another part of the country in
case of enemy attack, or estab-
fishing a supplemental Capital.
After considerable discussion,
the entire subject was held before
the committee for further consid-
Grafton later.
Chairman SABBATH said after
ward he considered the question
very important and would look
into it."
He said in his personal opinion
the Patman proposal might Gre
ate fear in this country and have
a bad effect on the other side of
the water"
Suggests Western Site.
Mr.. Patman explained that his
resolution would designate the
Rules Committee or a subcommit-
tee of it or some other House COM
mittee to look into the whole
problem.
He said he was not trying to get
the capital for his home State of
Texas because that was too far
from the center of the country.
He suggested a site west of the
Mississippi.
This is serious matter" he
told the committee. "In addition
to the current discussion of the
atom bomb and the H-bomb there
are many other considerations in-
volved." He did not elaborate.
The Texas legislator predicted
that if a committee should be
set up to study the problem you
would get fine constructive sug-
gesCions from all parts of the
country"
Representative Cox, Democrat,
Of Georgia said he thought the
public would be very much con-
cerned if Congress opened a study
of the problem.
Defense Study Underway.
He raised a question as to
whether foreign powers would
take it as an evidence of panic. Z"
Representative Brown, Republi-
can, of Ohio said he thought for
eign countries rather would con-
slider it a determination to GARY
on, whatever happens"
After the committee adjourned,
one member said he felt such a
study was really the responsibility
of the executive branch of Gov
ernment, particularly the military.
Already. Secretary of Defense
Johnson has announced that a
study is underway on the question.
Mr.. Patman's bill would au-
thorize the Rules Committee to
investigate, study and report to
Congress January 3 next year.
His bill proposes consideration
of these factors:
Whether it is desirable for a
supplemental capital to be estab-
lished elsewhere.
Whether the capital should be
removed to another point.
Whether certain Federal agen-
cies could be administered just as
efficiently at places removed
from the seat of Government"

In another case, the grand jury
ignored three charges of arson
against 23- year = old British
Army sergeant who is accused of
setting fire in an apartment at
2040 S street NV. last December

automobiles.
The action clears Sergt. John
B. Holmes of any criminal charge
here and Charles B. Murray, as

said Holmes will be turned over
to British authorities and returned
to England.
Mr.. Murray said the United

toned shortly after the S street
fire, but afterwards was pro-
