Asserting that intermarriage
tends to weaken the stamina of
the American population. Rabbi
Israel Tabak. president of the
Rabbinical Council of America.
called upon American JewrY to
be alert and on guard against its
spread.
Speaking at the annual mid
winter conference of the Rabbin-
ical Council, which represents
more than 400 American-trained
Orthodox Rabbits in America and
Canada, the Baltimore Rabbi
warned that not only are inter
marriages against the most hal
lowed principles of the Jewish
faith, but they undermine the
stability of the home, increase
the number of unhappy marriages
and bring children into the world
with rift in their souls which
can never be healed"
From this platform" Rabbi
Tabak declared. I'VE must call to
the attention of American JewrY
the corrosive influences which
are gnawing at its vitals. Historic
Israel has always regarded inter
marriage as an evil and as
threat to its future survival. To-
day. more than ever before. we
are unalterablY opposed to mixed
marriages.

The purpose is to safe- guard the country from a surprise atomic attack, since present laws do not give CAA the authority to identify planes flying over the Uni ted States. The new powers would
 be used to check on all flights into the U. s. A. and over defense areas.

President Truman Secretary Acheson before he left the United States In fact he barely able to get in to see MT. Truman. And he set out for Europe Herbert Hoover loosed his blast proposing the out right demolition of the LIN.
 Ironically he is getlting his chief support in the United States from two Republicans former Sens John Foster Dulles and Warren Austin. The admin istration which ought to be eager to do almost any thing to support and strengthen the United Nations is notceably cool This best be explained by the fact that -Acheson foreign policy is under intensive fire Congres making it politically danger ous for the State Deparetment to go as far as MT Dulles MT Austin in giving support to Trygve Lies efforts in Moscow.
 It is a peculiarly unfortunate tange, for the very existence of the LIN may be at stake And yet the American Government for political reasons is in such position that it cannot give wholehearted and ef fective support to MT Le though his sole purpose is to preserve the LIN.

 Now that the statehood trip is over and the load of carefully screened proponents home we wonder if some or all for that matter enthusiastic about paying their expense to Washington. It was nice ride no doubt, but it still cost all the pas sengers some out of pocket money.
 And who is to foot the Alaska Arlines' bill for the difference between the $125 round trip fare charged and the actual cost of such trip per pas senger of four times There is official fund for this purpose; the c. A. B. cannot do it. therefore falls back the stockholders of the firm or the general public in way another.
 There was at least one rumor before the plane left that those aboard as members of the Alaska Statehood Committee would be reimbursed by Terri torial funds from the Statehood appropriation, most of which is still frozen.
 At this point it might be well to recall that such was not the purpose of the statehood fund. It was appropriated under the bill to gather material facts and figures and provide information for the consti- tutional convention which will the state consti tuition when the enabling act is finally passed.

 However, Robert Denham, the NLRB general counsel whose job would be abolished, has been a faithful follower of the Taft-Hart- ley Act, so this year Taft reversed himself and fought tooth and nail to block NLRB reorganization.
 Tafts trade with Senator Russell has already borne fruit regarding this rart of the deal. For, last week, southern Democrats delivered a block of votes to defeat NLRE IreGganization -with s ts1eHexceptfo1 of Senator Withers of Kentucky He voted against Taft and for Tru. man.
 Today it's Taft turn to keep hi part of the bargain. He himself will vote against the south ano line up to break the flllbuster 1T order to keep his record clean. Ht would be defeated for reelection in Ohio if he didn't.
 However, the six COP senators whom Taft has said he would de- liver to the southern Democrats have already expressed their views privately as against cloture This is probably something which Taft did not tell Senator Russell.
 For, in secret Republican councils, the above mentioned six had ar- gued against the principle of shut ting off Senate debate. In fact Taft had little to do with wooing them over to the other side.
 Meanwhile, it is significant that Taft has been noticeably uncooper- ative in rounding up Republican votes against the filibuster, though fellow Republicans have not sus- pected the reason. Senator Wherry of Nebraska, on the other hand has been quite active.

Dewey Backs a Roosevelt

No one would ever expect Gov ernor Dewey to propose Roosevelt for public office
 But, believe it or not, that's what Dewey did the other day. He sent word to Elliott Roosevelt, urg- ing him to run fo- Congress from New York City against Rep. Vito Marcantonio of the American La- Dor party.
 Dewey's message was brought to Elliott by Paul Lockwood, one of the governors confidential secre- taIies, who promised that, if Ell iott could get Tammanys backing he would also have Republican sup port in running against Marcan- tonio.
 Marcantonio has had pro-Com- munist support and represents the Puerto Rican-Negro district of New York which ordinarily would be hard for an outsider to carry. But just as young Franklin Roosevelt then an outsider, was able to carry the 18th district, so it is believed Elliott could carry Marcantonio's district if he had support from Tammany and the Republicans.
 Following Lockwood's proposal to Elliott, the latter conferred with Tammany leaders and their de- cision is expected shortly
