WASHINGTON-There sits in
the House of Representatives the
son of kosher butcher New
York East Side butcher who fear
ed no housewife. The son is Arthur
G. Klein, who has brought his late
fathers tenacity to the floor of
Congress.
Klein takes time to investigate
before committing himself on is
sues. Once he's convinced, how
ever, his opponents are in for a
real fight.
Klein secured the Democratic
nomination from the Lower East
Side nine years ago. 1t was a spe-
cial election to fill the seat of M.
Michael Edelstein who was fatally
stricken in the House after a futile
argument against an anti-Semitic
TRADE by Rep. John Rankin of
Mississippi.
Klein was elected and has since
carried on determined fight
against injustice. 81 made up my
mind" said Klein, "that if either
Rankin or Klein is going to drop
dead, it won't be Klein"
Old-timers in the House press
gallery recall Klein's action
against racial and religious dis
elimination in number of cases
which other liberal congressman
considered "too hot" to handle.
An unreconstructed Roosevelt
Democrat, Klein votes with the
administration only when he be-
lieves the administration to be in
the right.

THIS is THE LAST AND

THIS is The LAST AND
SADDEST WORD to be written
this year on Jewish Book Month,
but for my part it is also a very
challenging word.
For those of us who believe in
the survival of American Jewry,
there is job to be done on the
cultural as we'll as on the phil
anthropic front.
We must throw off our self-hate
conscious or subconscious - to
enable ourselves to live in our
short years a complete and enrich
ing life, in which our Jewish cul-
ture takes it's place alongside our
American heritage, in which Jew
ish books are part of our literary
treasure and the message of Jew
ish writers is sought out by us and
eagerly received.

"And this work has been totally
neglected. The second and third

-as shall continue to ask while

meaning of all this talk about
Jewish survival, and what is the
point of all these meetings and

when Soma Morgenstern's book is

3 Britons Burn Selves
To Study Treatment
|0fA-Bomb Injuries

A group of British scientists
have been exposing themselves to
painful. simulated atom bomb
burns to find the best ways of
treating injured in case of an
atomic attack.
The eight volunteers are led by
DR.. w. j. H. Butterfield of Lon
don, a member of the British Med
ical Research Council, who spoke
yesterday at the symposium on
burns sponsored by the National
Research Council at the National
Academy of Sciences.
The use of human volunteers in
research is cheaper than the use
of animals, DR.. Butterf1eld told
the group. He said they couldn't
afford animals.
However, he said, it is also more
practical because I'VE could also
evaluate the pain" something
which can't be done on anesthe-
tized animals.
Although many of the self-in-
flicted burns were severe, DR.. But
terfield said there was little dam
ger Of permanent scars. The burns
were calculated to simulate flash
burns in the outer areas Of an
atomic bomb explosion.
DR.. Butterfield said they had
found unprotected humans would
suffer f1rst-degree skin burns $500
yards from the explosion and blis-
ter burns about $500 yards away.
However. he said, a lot probably
would depend upon the sensitivity
Of each individuals skin. Work
with human volunteers has been
going on since 1947, he said.

lives in a trailer and makes a meag-

Princess Alexandria Victoria is
so broke that she even has trouble

has a goading ambition-to tour

She points out that her dream a

Although the daughter of a duke
and the wife (%divorced) of a royal
prince, Alexandria has lived an in
dependent, NEST unroyal life since
World War 1. She comedies her b.
hemian ways have shocked her
royal relatives.
That's one reason I want to go
back to America" she says. There

people are always shocked"
The princess was born in a castle
in the north German state of Schles-
wig Holstein. She is the daughter of
D u Ike Friedrich Ferdinand of
Schleswig Holstein-G luecksburg.
Married Prince August
In 1908 she married the late
Prince August Wilhelm of Prussia,
fourth son Of Kaiser Wilhelm II.
They had M son, Prince AlexaD>
der Ferdinand of Prussia, but TIKI
marriage ended in divorce in 1920.
Her second marriage, to former
naval Commander Arnold Rue
mann, also ended in divorce a few
years later.
Since them" she said, 81 have
earned virtually all my own way"
Her hobby was painting. So she
turned professional turning out pic
lures by the dozens, both portraits
and landscapes. She even sold them
herself.
In 1926 she went to the United
States and toured most of the 48
states in 4 trailer, making her way
from town to town painting pictures
and selling them.
In 1892 she returned to Germany
and when the war came, she was
living in Berlin. She fled that city
during its aerial bombardment, and
moved her precious paintings 70

rural home of a brother.

mented. Even my little bank &C.
count in Berlin is still blocked so
I've had to start all over again"
The princess has lived constantly
in her small trailer the last two
years, moving from one free park
ing site to another.
The trailer is only Is feet long
and heated by a tiny Stove-when
she can afford fuel. She does her
own cooking on a little gas burner.
It's a bit crowded, with her easel
always taking up one end of the
trailer and her beloved dog, Falk,
the quarters.
But she is still cheerful and max

Christmas poinsettia plant does
not mean it is dying and you must
discard it.
The dropping of the leaves after
blooming just means the plant is
going into its normal rest period
which should last until about the
first of April.
With a little care, you can keep
the plant in good condition for
blooming next year.
After the leaves fall, put the
plant in a cool place - one with
a temperature of from 40 to 60 de-
grees Fahrenheit and water
it only sparingly.
About the first of April, cut the
plant back to remove excess old
wood and make it more shapely.
Shake off the old soil and repot
in a mixture of about 3 parts
garden loan, | part w~ell-rotted
manure and / part leafmold.
Use a pot just large enough to
hold the mass of roots without
crowding, and provide good drain
age. Water enough to keep the
soil from drying out.
About the first day of May set
the plant outdoors in light shade.
Leave the plant outdoors until
fall when nights become cool.
Then bring indoors to a window
where there is good light and air,
a temperature of about 80 to %
degrees, and no draft.
Regular watering SO the soil
never dries out is essential. Keep
the plant dark at night because
artificial light may cause unsatis-
factory Towering.
Poinsettias cannot stand frost,
may drop their leaves from
drafts or too much warmth.
