The legaism involved in the deportation order is not

General McGras assertion that there clearcut law

under clear-cut laws.
President Truman reported to have said when in

would permit these people to stay. When who was

such assertion the inference quite clear cir

MEXICO PROMISES TO RELAX
VISA RESTRICTIONS

MEXICO CITY, (JTA) - A
delegation Of the Jewish Central
Committee was assured by the
Minister of Interior, Adolfo Ruiz
Confines, tn the government
will relax the immigration law
under which Jews from certain
Latin American countries-even
when they are naturalized citi-
zens of those countries-find it
difficult to secure a tourist or
visitor visa to Mexico.
The delegation brought to the
attention of the Minister the fact
that numerous Jewish Industrial
lists in Argentina, Brazil, Cuba
and other countries are prevented
from visiting Mexico on business
because they are refused Mexi-
can visas. The delegation empha-
sized the detrimental eff e t
which such a state of affairs has
on the development of Mexican
commerce.

migrants.
The bill, soon to be presented
formally to IsraePs Parliament,
states that all former Palestinian
subjects who registered on or be-
fore November 80, 1913, and are
residents of Israel when the new
law comes into force, are citizens
as of November 80, 1913. More
over, all persons who immigrated
or were born in Israel after the
establishment of the State, be-
come citizens on the date of ar
rival or birth.
This automatic acquisition of
citizenship would not apply to
persons of foreign nationality
who declare within given period
that they do not wish to become
citizens of Israel.
Persons who are both Israel
and foreign nationals will be con-
sidered Israel citizens for the
purpose of all laws applying to
citizens of Israel.
Commenting on these proposals.
the Jerusalem Post" hailed the
draft law for setting out ITO pre-
vent that source of hardship from
which countless men and women
have suffered as a result of the
upheavals of the wars and revo-
lutions of Israel. namely. lack of
legal nationality: and it offers
equality before the law as be-
tween men and women to a de-
gree that is probably unique"
The editorial pointed out that
under the new bill, immigrants
become citizens automatically
without having to apply formally
for Israel citizenship. This would
prevent the loss of existing ma
tionality which many States hold
compulsory when one of their
citizens applies for a new citizen
ship.
Similarly. an Israeli out of the
country who adopts foreign ma.
tionalitY would not automatically
lose his Israel citizenship. al
though he could renounce it if he
chooses to do so.
ISraePs proposed citizenship law
would state that a foreign woman
who marries an Israeli takes on
Israel citizenship, unless she re-
nounces her claim. And unique
ly, foreign man who marries an
Israel woman also takes on Israel
citizenship, unless he wishes
otherwise.
An Israeli-man or woman-who
marries foreigner abroad. would
not lose his Israel nationality
thereby. except by specific re-
nunciation. This is one of the
provisions carefully designed to
prevent a condition of lack of all
citizenship. for cases have occur
red under the nationality laws of
other countries where. for ex-
ample. a woman marrying a for
eigner has lost her own national
itY without at the same time ac-
curing her husbands.

PLAIN TALK
BY ALFRED SEGAL
MAKING OF A RABBI

Now. how does a rabbi get that
way? Here's young Mortimer
Zilch. a regular boy in a world
in which regular boys turn out
to be crack statesmen. doctors.
lawyers. or. as in the case Of our
well-known Mr.. FIillel. president
of massive widget corporation.
Mortimer's parents are troubled
as to what to make of him. His
father says bright boy like
Mortimer should be a lawyer.
BY personal experience of law
yers Mortimer's father thinks he
knows how prosperous lawyers
are anyway, the lawyers to whom
he pays fees.
Mortimer's mother says No.
she'd rather have him be doc
tor. She learned to love doctors
the time she was sick: the way
they were so nice and helpful.
In his earlier life Mortimer
himself said he'd like to be
ballplayer like Lou Gehrig or
Christy Matthewson of whom he
knew from the classic history of
baseball.
Then. on his 18th birthday
the legal age of stepping into
manhood-Mortimer confided to
his parents the career on which
his mind was settled. They were
all at dinner and his mother ask
ed. We'll. Mortimer. have you
made up your mind Yet?"
eyes, but maybe you won't like
it,"
"Oh. Mortimer. you know any
thing you want to be we're for"
well, I've decided to be a
rabbi"
"A rabbi. Mortimer"
"A rabbit"
Not that Mortimer's parents had
any prejudice against rabbis. but
for their son they wished only a
comfortable place in the world.
They knew the tzoros the rabbi
in their own town was made to
suffer by the congregation. The
members seemed continuously to
be pushing rabbis out of their
pulpit and putting a new one in.
There was no satisfying that con-
gregation.
But Mortimer" his mother
said, ''it's nicer to be a doctor
A doctor has to please only one
patient at a time
His father said: And a good
lawyer can be fairly sure of an
adequate living"
Mortimer replied that he had
definitely made up his mind and
his parents finally said it wasn't
for them to stand in his way and
if he wanted to be a rabbi that
was their wish, too.
Now just what brought Morti-
mer to the idea of being a rabbi?
Just what prompts other young
men who go to be rabbis? Lately
the Hebrew Union College-Jew-
ish Institute of Religion has
given some answers.
It got the answers by asking
certain questions of recent appli-
cants to the HUG rabbinate. Rab-
bi Robert L. Katz of the colleges
office of admissions has made the
questions and the answers pub
licly available in news letter.
How come that the applicant
first thought Of being a rabbi?
How. in his maturity. did he fin
ally become fixed on the idea?

right stuff, for he was not only a
successful lawyer, : assistant at
torney-general for the state Of IL
linois, member of the board Of Par
dons and Paroles Of that same
state, and commissioner to one Of
the judges Of the Circuit Court Of
Cook County (Ill.), but one Of the
most outstanding lay leaders in
the Baptist connection.
I thought a lot about Judge
Harrison last week as I read of
the formation of the National
Council of Churches in Christ in
the United States. Some years ago
he told me that he had dreamed
of such an organization long be-
fore he helped establish the Natl
onal Baptist Training Union and
the Sunday School Congress Of the
National Baptist Convention"
~ won't live to see it" he told
me "but you will. : : you will
live to witness a unity Of Protest
ants such as you never dreamed
of. It will be done : when the men
with the right stuff come along to
do it,"
In the twilight Of his life Judge
Harrison almost deserted his law
practice, preferring the lecture
platform to the court room. He
travelled hundreds of miles at his
own expense to speak to young
people (and they loved him) in
terested in church work. His pro-
teges can be found wherever lay
leaders of the Baptist church
gather, and I imagine many of
them remembered his prediction
as they read last week of the for
nation of the greatest organiza-
ton in the history of Protestant
ism; cit will be done when men
men with the right stuff come a.
long to do it."

Of Oklahoma nearly four decades

On the fourth floor, he entered
the room where examinations for
the state bar were being held.
They led him to a rough bench
(no desk) in a corner of the room
because there were no "colored"
desks in that same room where
other young men were taking the
examination that would determine
their qualifications to practice law
and defend the constitution which
the state was then violating. It
was against the law for Negroes
to sit at white" desks.
"But what difference does it
make how many flights Of stairs

put you in if you've got the right

Anyone who ever heard the late
Judge William H. Harrison tell
that story of his examination for
the Oklahoma bar never forget it.
How he passed the examination
with a higher mark than any of
his contemporaries, his subsequent
appointment as a special judge of

man who forced him to take the
bar exams sitting in a dark corner,
is indeed a thrilling story.
