Hairless Sees
.UN Retreat
On Jerusalem

Former Arizona Congressman
Richard F. Hairless predicted UN
reconsideration of the decision to
internationalize Jerusalem in a
speech before the Arizona Bran
deis Zionist District at it's monthly
meeting last week at Temple Beth
Israel.
He said the decision cannot and
will not be carried out, adding that
the sacred places and shrines of
the Old City can be International
lied but only those.
Hairless praised the Israeli peo-
pie and said the founding of the
Jewish state is a tribute to the
devotion Of the Jewish people
throughout the world" Also, he as
serted, it is a tribute to the Jews
courage after slaughter of 6,000,-
900 of their brethren.
He also lauded the primary Jew
ish contribution to world civiliza-
tion-the concept of the brother
hood of man. This concept, said
Hairless, stems from the Jews be-
lief in family life, and this is the
reason for their endurance and
survival.
Foreign Rule
The former congressman said
the UN decision on Jerusalem was
unwise and must be revised. He de-
clared that it imposes a foreign
rule on the citizens of Israel and
Transjordan without their approx
al or choice of ruler, thus violat-
ing a fundamental UN principle of
self-determination.
Hairless was introduced by Rabbi
Philip w. Jaffa. DR.. Jacob Reich
ert, president, was general chair
man for the evening. Martin Sha-
piro was entertainment chairman.
Judy Barling of Phoenix, 10-year-
old pianist, played three numbers.

Alexandra Delegate
Seeks Repeal Of State
segregation in Travel
BY the Associated Press

RICHMOND, Va, Jan. bills
to repeal the States transporta-
ton segregation laws will be in
troduced in the General Assem-
bly, by Delegate Armistead l..
Boothe of Alexandria.
Mr.. Boothe also plans to spon-
sor a measure creating a Vir-
ginia civil rights commission to
study economic, educational and
other phases of racial relations
problems, and make recommends
tions.
The Alexandria delegate said
today he is prepared to introduce
four bills to repeal segregation on
railways, electric railways, motor
vehicles and steam ships.
Local Segregation Possible.
He pointed out, however, that
repeal would not necessarily pre-
vent regulatory segregation in Ger
tain localities where it might be
required to keep the peace. This
could be accomplished. he OBJ
served, under local police powers.
Mr.. Boothe said Virginia must
act swiftly to revise civil rights
legislation on a plane "tempering
idealism with common sense"
He warned that failure to insti-
tute progressive civil rights laws
would result in Federal interven-
ton. That, he said, would mean
the outlawing of segregation in
such place as public schools, where
he considers it necessary for the
present.
If segregation in primary and
high schools is declared unconsti-
tutional in the near future ..
1t will usher into the South, in
Guiding Virginia, an era of chi
canery, hatred and violence" Mr..
Boothe said.
1--WE must think. We must act"
he added. I'VE cannot continually
exclaim against the Federal Gov
ernment usurping the powers of
the state without exercising those
powers ourselves as our RESPONSE
bilities require"
Mr.. Boothe asserted that the
South is threatened, by an invasion
OF States rights that can be met
and conquered only by counter
attacks. -.>
Three important effects of
Virginia civil rights revisions are
envisioned by the delegate.
First, he thinks action" "imme-
diate. positive action'-will dem
onstrate to Congress and the
Supreme Court that, Virginia is
moving to do something on its
own. Abolishing transportation
segregation and establishing a civil
rights commission are the most
needed moves. Mr.. Boothe empha-
sized.
Would Condition People.
Second. he believes civil rights
revisions will condition the people
of the State for Staggering social
problems that they will inevitably
face in the future" =
And third. the commissions could

school facilities and the lot Of the
Negroes generally 50 that I'VE
might come a little closer to hv-
ing UP to what the constitution
promises" - 6 ID M W. ~. \.

proposed civil rights commission
would carry forward the Hbefalix-

person close to the Hoover Com
mission; Mineral Resources and
Recreation. A bill to conserve and
develop strategic metals, minerals
and ores failed of passage in the
last session.. Several bills are
pending.
Social Security, Education and
Indian Affairs-The Federal Sc
curity Agency would become a
Department of Social Security
and Education under the COM
mission recommendations. The
first step. make the agency a
cabinet department, was presented
in reorganization plan by Presi-
dent Truman last year. but it
failed of approval. Bills to do
approximately the same thing are
pending. The aim of some is to
provide for three sections, rather
than two. with health given equal
rank with social security and edu-
cation.
Medical Activities - This has
been another controversial sub
ject. The recommendation was to
set up a United Medical Admin
istration to include most of the
hospitals of the armed services
and those Of the Veterans Ad-
ministration and the Public
Health Service. In addition to a
bill to carry out the recommends
tions, drawn by attorneys for the
Hoover Commission, there have
been the bills presented for ma
tional health insurance and other
health proposals. There will be
much debate before definite pol
icy is evolved.
Federal Business Enterprises -
This was long report covering,
among other things, lending, guar
anteeing, insurance. housing and
farm credit enterprises. No action
has been taken. One bill has been
reported out by a Senate commit
tee which would pave the way for
eventual liquidation Of the Inland
Waterways Corp.
Overseas Administration - An
Administrator Of Overseas Affairs
was suggested to have responsible
ty for occupied areas, the eco
nom1c recovery program, special
missions, trust territories, etc The
two houses have bills pending to
create a commission to make a
study.
Federal-State Relations - This
report called for study of Federal
State relations and an agency to
conduct it, revision of tax sys-
TENS to divide areas of taxation be-
tween Federal. State and local gov
ernments. Qualification and sys-
tematization of grants-in-aio pro-
grams. Bills have been introduced
to create a commission to make
the recommended studies.
Federal Research - Recon-

President to coordinate and
strengthen scientific research and
to set up National Science Foun-
datlon. There is legislation pend

program to the Housing and Home
Finance Agency. Veterans Ad-
ministrator Carl R. Gray, jr., OBJ
jected vigorously to the major
recommendations. Bills were in
troduced for consolidating insur-
ance functions but that is all.
Commerce Department-Under
commission recommendations 1t
would be reorganized in two divi-
Sions: transportation service to in
clude the executive functions of
the various transportation agen-
lcies, and industrial and CONNER
cial service. 1t would mean a
number of transfers from other
agencies. One such transfer, the
Bureau of Public Roads, has al
ready been moved from the Fed
eral Works Agency to Commerce
under a presidential reorganiza-
ton plan. The Maritime Commits
sion has been studied-with con-
siderable exasperation-by both
Houses and there may be move
in the current session to transfer
most of it's executive functions to
Commerce. The only pending
Legislation is bills in both Houses
drawn by attorneys for the Hoover
Commission.

ization along functional lines to

Several transfers were urged: the
Coast Guard and probably certain
marine functions of the Bureau
Of Customs to Commerce. the Bu-
reau of Narcotics to Justice, the
Bureau of Federal Supply to Cen
eral Services. Also recommended
was grouping the Reconstruction
Finance Corp, the Export In
port Bank and the Federal De-
post Insurance Corp. under
Treasury's supervision. Transfer
Of the Bureau Of Federal Supply
alone has been carried out. There
are several bills pending.
Regulatory Commissions-There
were IL recommendations affect
ing the nine regulatory commits
sions. aimed chiefly at transfer
ing the executive functions to
other agencies leaving the COM
missions to concentrate on regu-
lation. The only action taken was
the presidential reorganization
plan which made the chairman of
the Maritime Commission the
chief executive and administrative
officer of the agency. A number
of bills are pending and there is
disposition in Congress for &C
ton.
Labor Department-The COM
mission recommended that this
department be rebuilt. In line
with the program the Bureau of
Employment Security was trans
ferred to Labor from the Federal
Security Agency by a presidential
reorganization plan. The bureau
includes the United States En-
ployment Service and Unemploy-
ment Compensation. Because of
the increase in unemployment it
is understood the bureau will ask
for more money for staff increases.
The Veterans Placement Board
also was transferred to Labor. No
other action was taken and there
