Anti-SenitiSm. Seen
Senate Probers About Ready to Clear

municated jew" admitted Smith
suggested making them. The
Senators also got a little red-faced
when Freedman testified he die
tated his accusations in the office
of a Congressman. Rankin of Mis-
sissippi.
At one point the testimony
descended into a realm which
caused the committee to vote that
it should be Transcribed but held in
camera in committee files and not
made part of the record. For
tunately the foresight of Acting
Chairman Russell had dictated
executive sessions throughout so
that the testimony can be moni-
tored.
Real Basis of Case.
1t has seemed to some Senators
that anti-Semitism rather than
Communism was the real basis of
the case. They have been the more
anxious to clear the record beyond
the shadow of a doubt.
Mrs. Rosenberg climbed to the
top Of her trade in a hard field in
the most competitive city in the
world. New York, and won, too, the
confidence of the military and
politicians here. She is used to
success and friends; the defensive
has been a trying spot for her. But
she did not get where she is by
being soft; the confidence of Gen.
eral Marshall and the President,
the urgency Of her job, can erase
her hurt.
From the standpoint of the pub
lie 1t is in one sense unfortunate
that the array of her supporters
could not be paraded. including
B. M. Baruch, Gov. James F.
Byrnes. Nelson Rockefeller, Jock
Whitney and others. This advan-
tage had to be sacrificed to the
decision that closed hearings were
preferable.
In pondering what to do now
with their testimony, the Senators
will have to consider that trial
by accusation can inflict wounds
in cases where public confidence
is a prime requisite. One we'll
known public figure has asserted
that IF you're innocent it doesn' t
hurt you: he hasn't had to put
his assurance to the test, however.

UNESCO, and some Of the Arab
governments, are trying to edu-
cate their children. but the prob
lem is not even beginning to be
met.
There are, in Syria alone, $4,000
displaced children, of school age,
of whom only 5000 are receiving
any instruction whatever. They
go to government, private or camp
schools. A camp school is a dark
unheated tent on the bare ground,
usually made of hemp cloth, leaky
in the rainy season. with a black
board, rough benches, no desks.
Half the children I have seen in
such schools are barefoot and clad
in rags; UNRRA does not furnish
clothes. Those not attending
schools are loafing around camps
listening to the laments of their
elders.
Eager for Education.
BY comparison an Arab school,
even in a backward village. COM
pares not unfavorably with viii
lage schools in the poorer parts of
America.
Syria is devoting a fourth of
the national budget to education,
and eagerness for it has pene-
trated the most remote places.
Schoolfouses are going up at a
great rate everywhere. But the
pressure Of native demands ex-
ceeds accommodations. One must
constantly remind oneself that
these countries have only lately
won independence and the chance
to develop their own social and
educational programs. They rest
all future hopes on combating in
herited illiteracy by universal edu-
cation, at least in primary grades.
In this sense the worlds oldest
civilizations are new. To be con-
fronted now with the absorption
OF such an enormous influx of
newcomers would upset all plans
and budgets even If the will to
accept the newcomers were
present.
But the will Is not present. Be-
tween a constructive program Of
settlement, even If financed by
foreign funds, and the miserable
creatures herded in mass tent

Where there should be a toe there
is nothing but a hole, and you

Punched Full of Holes.
Right back from where the toe
isn't, there is about one inch OF
leather. but do you think it's
solid leather? No. It, is all
punched full of holes. I'll bet
you, if you asked the maker, he
would say that is for ventilation
But I'll also bet you, that if you
asked him for the leather he
punched out, he wouldn't give it
to you. He probably made two
more shoes out of that punched
out leather.

understanding. The frightfulness
Of our politics in the midst of an
election campaign they doubtless
could understand, but the con-
tinuance Of this frightfulness after
the election must seem strange
indeed to them. They must ask in
whom, representing America, they
can place their trust.
Hates Must Be Sacrificed.
It may be that we are now about
to demonstrate our capacity for
national unity and solidarity. BY
an ironical twist of fate. this
demonstration may be achieved
through preparedness for war, not
peace. The national emergency
which has existed for some time
Is to be declared officially. It is
expected to bring all elements of
our society together in a common
cause. All citizens are expected to
accept the necessity for equal
sacrifice in the matter of income
convenience and material comfort.
There Is question, however
whether we can all make a similar
sacrifice OF something we hold
even more dear-our personal and
political hates.
If this great sacrifice can be
made. the all-out preparedness
for war may be turned into a true
preparedness for peace or the pro-
motion Of peace. If we can re-
frain from giving aid and comfort
to the enemy by quarreling among
ourselves, we may be able to give
great aid and comfort to those
who are working for peace, work.

world war and the ravaging of

sought through the years since the
first Christmas message was given
us, seems still a remote dream
There is little real peace and little
good will.
Focal Point of Struggle.
But there are men and women
everywhere still struggling ear
nestly and patiently for the
achievement of the promise. The
focal point of this struggle is now
in the meeting place of the
United Nations. There the rep
resentatives of nearly all the ma
tionS are endeavoring to achieve
at least an armed truce in those
areas where actual war is raging
a peaceful period in which to re-
sumo their efforts to set up a sys-
tenn Of world order in which war
will have no part. AS discouraging
as the prospect of it's realization
is, these men and women cannot
abandon this best of all ambitions
and there is every indication that
they are not abandoning it. Their
labors are guided by the very es-
sence of the Christmas spirit.
For the success or failure of this
great undertaking our own coun-
try will have a large share of re-
sponsibility and we must give tc
it the best that is within us. Un-
fortunately we have failed fol
some time to do that. We have
failed to furnish the proceedings

Congress May Revise
Labor Law, but Along
Pattern Set by Taft

Congress may revise the Taft
Hartley labor relations law next
year. but if it does the changes
probably will follow the pattern
laid down by the co-author of the
law, Senator Taft. Republican, Of
Ohio.
Even the labor union leaders,
staunch foes Of the Taft Hartley
Act, admit there is no chance Of
the new Congress repeating it.
The reason is that many Of those
members in favor of repeal were
beaten in the last election.
Senator Taft has said that he
still fayors nearly all Of the %
changes in the law he suggested in
l949. His bill including the
changes was passed by the Senate
and bottled up in the House large
ly by those who wanted repeal OF
nothing.
Now, however. in view of Re-
publican victories in the elections
the labor leaders and labor
minded members of Congress
probably would be glad to settle
for. the Taft amendments. The
CIO Textile Workers Union, fol
example. have said as much.
