A Realistic Drive

All of who belong to the community of Phoenix
Jewry are businessmen in a The business own
is the United Jewish Welfare Fund. It's ours it belongs
to all of us.
businessmans depends, to a very large ex-
tent upon how realistic and practical he is It follows,
then, that the continuing of business
the UJWF-depends upon the degree of realism which
bring to it's operation
That's the keynote of the 1850 campaign which starts
in few days-realism goal of $1650OO has been set
This considerably less than the $252 900 goal set
we raised in 1948 That's why it's realistic and that's
why the password this year is eve Did 1t Before-We
Can Do 1t Again!'
But it's going to take effort than last and,
what's more important BIGGER GIVING For last years
total take was only $117000 Therefore each of US
be prepared to increase his contribution by about
one-thrd.
There isn't the slightest doubt but that do it.
Business conditions better than they at this time
last year. There nearly 5000 Jews in Phoenix. Last
year contributions made by 1900 gvers represent
ing 800 families That leaves large added potential
yet to be tapped We should try to reach 400 to 500
givers this year.
The need is as great as ever and don't let anyone
tell you it isn't Israel is still faced with the staggering
problem of absorbing its tens of thousands of immigrants
Misery is still the lot of thousands of others in Europe
and North Africa. Our domestic and local agencies
must be sustained.
The preliminaries Every interested ndivid
ua has had chance what he thinks the subject
of the goal and the decision has been made This
and must have successful drive.

1t is traditional to present the
atrical productions on Purim, to
masquerade, to eat "hamantas-
chen" and "kreplach," and to send
"shalach-monos" (the last, an old
custom, originally practiced on
every festival).
In the synagogue we read the
"Megillah"-the Book of Esther
on Purim Eve, as well as on
Purim morning, to the accompani-
ment of noisemakers.
But the spirit of the festival is
best expressed in its songs, not
the prayerful, dignified music of
other holidays. but the joyous
songs of right triumphing over
might, of virtue rewarded, of a
people made glad.
Hear the oldest Of them all
"Shoshanas Yaakov," telling of
the happiness of Jacobs children
in the downfall of the wicked
Haman and Zeresh, the courage of
Esther and the elevation of Mord-
ecai.
"Heint IL Purlm" reflects the
joy of the celebration, and the af-
fection of the Jews for this treas
ured holiday.
"Ani Purim" is really a game,
in which Purim comes to life and
brings joy to all the children, who
tell him, "Come again, Purim.
Why don't you come at least twice
a week?"
"Chag Purim" tells how we cele-
brate the holiday-by masquerad-
ing, singing and dancing, and MAX
ing great noise with our gregers.
Several songs with English ly-
RIGS are quite popular with the
children, but by far the loveliest
is the haunting melody of 81 Love
the Day of Purim So," a song
whose simple lyrics express more
than the theme of revenge and
truly reflect all the glories of
Purim day.
All these and more are found
in the delightful record album,

Root of the Matter

other matter. 1t is the nature of
social workers, teachers, commu-
nifty leaders and especially rabbis
to keep on hoping that some day,
somehow, people will get educated.
Meanwhile, we keep trying. We
make speeches, we write newspap-
er articles, we preach, we inform
and we hope that we are making
some progress.
During the past month or so, l
must have made about 20 talks be-
fore groups about the Welfare
Fund. All in all, perhaps some 500
different people heard these talks.
Some people heard them several
times because they belong to many
organizations.
This column, endless columns in
The Phoenix Jewish News, to say
nothing about the rivers of print
that have appeared on Jewish
questions in the daily press, have
all tried to pound home the propo-
sition that Jews have response
bilities in the world and that one
way to solve a lot of them is by
giving money to Welfare Fund
campaigns.
Yet invariably, when campaign
committees meet, wherever COM
munity-minded people gather, the
eternal battle-cry is, "Why don't
we educate the community?
Perhaps the fact of the matter
is that education, like perfection,
is an ever receding infinity. We
actually never become educated in
the sense that there is definite
beginning and end to the educa-
tional process.
Education starts at birth and
ends at death. Those that accumu-
late no education in that interval
perhaps fail to do so because they
have not the mental equipment or
else resist it so strenuously that
they escape it.
Why there should be any Jew
in the United States today who
does not know the problems con-
fronting Jews is hard to compre-
hend.

edy star of his own show, and now
appearing opposite Betty Cradle
in a big splashy musical at goth
Century-Fox studio. Phil, regard
less of the Characterization he as
sumes on the air, is a smart show
man. He parlayed a couple of
down-south songs, a husky voice
and feel for comedy into a ca
reer that has led him into the top
brackets of show business.
"Show business before radio
was largely vaudeville" says Phil.
"Vaudeville was the incubator of
stars and a star in vaudeville was
the entertainment tops. But vaude-
vile consisted of acts that went on
for years without change. You
broke in an act in four weeks and
used it four years. Vaudeville was
static.

week. / don't care what people
say about radios tired routines,
they're not half as tiring as the
routines that made up vaudeville.
"Radio did a lot for pictures,
too. It's true that if you don't do
it right the first time in pictures
you have another chance. But a
lot of motion picture actors came
into radio and it made them real
ize that something could be done
once and done right. 1t sharpened
them.
Because radio eats material so
fast it makes for a greater and
healthier spirit of competition. AS
the result of radio, the public to-
day is getting more entertainment
than it ever got in the history of
the world. The people who shout
the loudest against radio would be
the first to scream if all radio
stations suddenly went off the
air."

AMERICAN STORY Gus
tave Kadysh Klausner, immigrant
from Russia, entered Catholic ST.
Louis University at the age of 35.
Working by day, attending school
at night, he earned his bachelors
and masters degrees, and event
ually joined the faculty.
This month Professor Klausner
became the first faculty member
in the history of the school to re-
ceive the degree of Doctor of
Laws, the ninth to receive an hon
orary degree in the last so years.
He will retire in a few months,
and friends and former students
are subscribing to a $250,000 fund
to establish a Gustave Klausner
Chair of Accounting in his honor.
But his name will be perpetu-
ated, too, in far-away Israel.
In 1916, his friends collected a
sum of money in order to present
him with a gift in appreciation of
his Zionist work. But DR.. Klaus
ner asked that they use the money
instead to plant trees in Israel.
Today there is a forest of 10,-
900 trees in the new state, planted
in honor of DR.. Klausner, loyal
Zionist and loyal American.

ERT =. The pattern is not yet
The United States has not yet
begun to send fighter planes and
submarines to Spain's Franco for
internal security requirements"
One awaits the announcement,
however, with some horror and no
surprise.
For Secretary of State Dean
Acheson has made it clear that
the enemies of democracy are no
longer unpopular with the State
Department.
Witness his statement this month
that it is desirable for the Arab
nations to receive military aid
The Phoenix Jewish news., 1950-02-24

from Britain, so that they can
maintain law and order within
their borders.
Only recently Gordon Clapp,
chairman of the UN Economic
Survey Mission for the Near East,
reported that the Arab ruling
classes were interested only in
their own power and profit and
would not invest in large scale de-
velopment projects because the in
terest returns were not sufficient
ly high.
And yet these leaders are being
given weapons to put down any
popular movement which might
advance the common Arab.
But why, one wonders, do they
need shiploads of 1950-model De-
Havilland jet fighter planes for
maintaining internal law and or
der? And destroyers and sub
marines on the desert?
The State Department sees no
SERIOUS" preparations by the
Arabs for a second round of fight
ing against Israel. This in spite
of constant threats of renewed
aggression via Arab press and
radio.
Yet if all observers are wrong,
and the State Department right,
Mr.. Acheson's recent approval of
large-scale re-armament of the
Arab nations is still well calcu-
lated to encourage further aggres-
sion.
Not all the arms being sent are
American-made. But all are made
available to the Arabs by our
sending of arms to the British,
thereby releasing their surplus.
$1,314,000,000 in American mil
itary supplies, now going to Brit
ain and the smaller Western
European countries, are being paid
for by American taxpayers, some
of whom are awakening to the
fact that American foreign-policy
makers no longer speak for them,
but rather for all the dark forces
of feudalism from the Iberian
Peninsula to the Indian Ocean.

no less than seven late model de-
stroyers. Nothing that Israel can
muster in men or money can off
set so dangerous a stockpile. Not
to speak of the fact that Britain
is continuing to reorganize and
reequip the Jordan and Iraqi
armies with Rritish arms.
Since the Arabs are still smart
ing over their defeat in Palestine
two years ago, and because they
talk openly of "a second round"
of warfare, the supply of arms by
Britain spells danger to the Jew
ish state. That is why IsraePs
leaders are now grimly watching
developments.

matter of record let it be known,
once and for all, that if such lists
were not published in this manner
in the past, it was not because
there was any desire on the part
of any person connected in any
way with the Welfare Fund to
withhold the facts. This is es-
pecially borne out by glance at
the Year Book published just be-
fore the 1949 Campaign and en-
titled, "a Community in Action. "
In addition to the many attrac-
tive pictures and the list of 1948

ly and unequivocally state how
the 1948 funds were distributed.
Any person residing in the Jew

he did not know that Welfare
Fund money was granted for nom
UJA purposes, is confessing that
he is either a careless reader or
that he did not understand what

the activities of the many causes
financed by the Phoenix Jewish
Welfare Fund campaign.
All of which reminds me of the

Alheson Accuses Russia of Making Moves that
 Are Harmful

WASHINGTON, April 21 = R - Secretary Acheson said today he believes the world is in a serious situation because of recent moves by Russia but that he does not see it moving into any armed conflict.
 At a news conference, the Secre- tary of State said there is tension in the world now and the things the Russians are doing are far from helpful.
 He accused the Soviets of trying to stir up trouble in several areas citing their stand on the Baltic air plane incident, their accusations against the Western Powers over Trieste and their renewed demands for special rights in the Dardanelles Strait.
 In response to question, Ache son also came out against any pub lie Congressional investigation oi US. policy in Germany such as has been proposed by Senator Gillette (D-Iowa).
 Acheson said the members of Con- gress can find out all they want to know about Germany policy without public hearings.

 MAY CAUSE
 BREAK, RUSS
Severance of Diplomatic Relations Suggested
 by Rep. Mccormack

WASHINGTON, April 2l = R - Russia's brushoff of the United States note on the Soviet-American plane incident angered Congress members today and brought from House Democratic leader McCor- mick (Mass) a suggestion that it might be well to break diplomatic relations.
 Mccormack said in a statement that the Russian attitude is "in- sulting." He added: Ut seems to me the time has arrived when we should either call back our Ambas- sador for long period of consul tation or completely break off our diplomatic relations with the Soviet Union"
 In a House speech, Chairman Vinson (D-Ga) of the Armed Serv- ices Committee accused Russia o1 an act of aggression-"A murder ous, dastardly, despicable act which has been officially condoned by the Russian government"
 He was talking about the loss o1 ten American fliers aboard an un- armed Navy plane which the US says was shot down by Soviet fighter planes over the Baltic Sea on Apri 8.
 Killings Deliberate
 Vinson addressed the House shortly after Moscow rejected as sclearly absurd" this country's de mand for compensation for the loss of lives and for assurance that there will be no recurrence of the incl dent.
 The Armed Services Chairman took the floor when the House sus- pended other business to vote on Q resolution honoring the ten losi airmen. The Senate passed the mea- sure last Wednesday, 66 to 0.
 The resolution directs the Secre- tary of the Navy to award post humous honors to the 10 fliers and expresses Congressional sympathy to their families.
 At the end of Vinson's ten-minute speech, the House adopted the reso- lution by roll call vote of 33O to 0
 Vinson said the Americans were killed deliberately, savagely anc brutally."

WILDL|FE SERVICE
 DONATES g FISH'
 TO LIBRARY DRIVE

The Juneau staff of the Fish and Wildlife Service is noted for their "gameness, so today they donated no less than 93 fish" to the Juneau Memorial Library drive.
 The contribution was received in the office of Dr. James c. Ryan, commissioner of education and member of the library board. AL though Dr. Ryan has been absent in Ketchikan this week to attend a meeting of the Board of Educa- ton, his staff is right on the job to open all mail and today opened an envelope chock full of those green fish, and turned it over to B. D. Stewart, acting drive chair man.
 This sum, plus a bookkeeping error made by the bank in which the board keeps it's funds-which favored the drive $10-brings the amount now down to $1,66219.
 A spontaneous drive began in the wildlife services offices in the fed- eral building, while busy all week writing laws, rules, regulations and such, then passing them along for reading and checking, still love to read little fiction and non-fiction once in a while, too.
 So they added their bit to the realization of the library. Total amount needed is S70,000, to be matched with funds from the Con- munity Facilities Administration, 8 federal agency set up to aid con- structlon of such projects in com munities throughout the nation.

 Only the Alaska statehood issue is before the Senate Committee on Interior and Insular Affairs Mon- day.
 But Warren said he will try to make his endorsement of Hawaiian statehood at the same time.
