milch COW of Israel.
Having completed her 100,000th
kilogram of milk on July 1, Sta
Wit was formally feted last month
by Kfar Gileadi, the oldest kib-
butz in Israel. A platform was set
up for visiting dignitaries, while
Stavit, the star of the show, par
AIDED below with her seven dis
tinguished offspring.
Many of the settlers recalled
early attempts to cross-breed local
cattle with superior imported
stock. Experts had warned that
the effort would fail, but the
pioneers persisted. Now Stavit, the
champion mixer, was their vindi-
cation. Few cows anywhere could
compare with her = not more
than six perhaps in all the United
States.
To what could one attribute her
supremacy? Quality" declared
Hahn Halpern, director general of
the Agricultural Department, 'im-
plies also the high cultural level
of the farmer. We have gotten to
where we did because of the high
quality of our human material that
went into farming"
Another speaker at the celebra-
tion explained the earnestness with
which Israel's farmers had sought
to sink their roots into the soil.
"Shepherds and cattle-breeders
were our ancestors" the mayor of
Safed told the audience, "The
Bible promised us a land flowing
with milk and honey, not land
flowing with gold and diamonds"
And so the villagers rejoiced.
And in their midst sat two visi-
tors, whose presence there was in
it's way momentous. Commandant
Fryfer and Captain Golmiya, Leb-
anese representatives on the Is
rael-Lebanese Armistice Commits
sion, having accepted the invita-
ton to the celebration, were the
first Arab officers to visit Israel
territory since the Arab aggres-
sion began.
There is no doubt in my mind
that when peace between the Arab
states and Israel finally comes
and come it must one day it
will be realized on this level even
more fully than in the political
sphere.
Israe's neighbors will inevitably
visit her country shows = and who
knows? Perhaps Stavit's descen-
dants may some day provide milk
for an Arab colony across the
Jordan. Then its children, like the
children of Israel, will grow
straight and strong, as the child
rem of men were meant to grow;

We Must Respond

Nothing so ambitious has ever been attempted by Amer
lean Jewry the threeyear blondollar adfor-lsrael
program adopted by the National Planning Conference
for Israel and Jewish Rehabilitation And yet it emin
emily practicable and most certainly imperative For the
infant Jewish is slowly winning in it's struggle to
survive and to make good the basic principle under
lying it's foundation the principle of standing forth as
a haven for harrassed Jewry the world
The most noteworthy aspect of the program adopted at
the recent Washington conference described in detail
on page of this issue is the unanimy which
panied the action Every major Jewish organization in
America was represented in the decision.
The Phoenix Jewish community has felt immediate
percussons from the conference the form of $4,000

council and to the board of the
Jewish Social Service, along with
reports on community matters.
The balance of the program will
be devoted to a discussion of Jew
ish Center needs in Phoenix.
Since this will be the first time
the question will be discussed be-
fore the community as a whole,
the results should be most inter-
esting.
NATIONAL attention has been
drawn sharply to the whole situa-
ton regarding the proposed billion
dollar bond issue for Israel. 1t
has been made very clear by econ
omists and tax experts that well
fare fund structures will not be
able to participate in the cam
paign to sell the bonds because of
the tax picture. Contributions to
welfare funds are deductible from
income and corporation taxes. But
purchase of bonds is not.
1t has been forcefully pointed
out that welfare fund organiza-
tions can lose their tax exemp-
tion by participating in the bond
campaign since this latter activity
is considered strictly commercial
by the Bureau of Internal Reve-
nue..
1t was first considered that well
fare funds or community councils
would spearhead the sale of bonds.
When the tax disability was dis
covered, emphasis was shifted to
local Zionist organizations. But

HOW TO WIN FRIENDS

HOW TO WIN FRIENDS /.
Some of Hitler's little helpers who
managed to escape punishment af-
ter the war are now doing busi-
ness at the same old stand.
Francisco Franco, Spanish die
tator, was under cloud for a
time, but all that is forgiven and
forgotten now. The UN has taken
the first steps toward welcoming
him into it's ranks alongside rep
resentatives of the freedom-loving
peoples of Europe, and the United
States Congress has voted him a
loan of $100,O0O,000 to make him
an ally of democracy.
Meantime, we learn that Martin
Bormann, the only top Nazi to
escape capture, is enjoying Fran
co.'s hospitality while he organizes
an underground movement to re-
vive Nazism in a Europe only re-
Gently liberated.
At the other end of the Medi-
terranean, an equally shocking bit
of news comes to light.
Iraq has long refused to allow
any oil to flow from the Kirkuk
fields to Haifa, Israel, where the
finest oil refineries in the Middle
East are operating at only one
third capacity because of the
Arab boycott.
During the past month, the us.
departments of State and Com
merce have permitted the shipping
to Iraq of over 100000 tons of
critically-needed American steel,
to construct a second pipeline
from Iraq, this time by-passing
Israel and terminating at Banias,
Syria, where no refinery exists.

CHANUKAH COMES early this
year and it is to be hoped that
every Jewish home will observe
the holiday properly. Not only is
this to offset the influence of
Christmas for that would be
only a negative thing = but to
reap joy and inspiration from the
holiday for it's own sake. Among
adults, too, there can be unalloyed
happiness in giving, in forgiving,
in festivity and exaltation.
Thousands of sermons and end
less rivers of admonitory type
have dwelt on the subject of the
Christmas tree and it's use in the
Jewish home. Charles Lamb once
said of Jews who observed the
superficial aspects of Christmas,

A book like "The WALL" by

strated so impressively as in this
century. Through faith alone
Churchill and De Gaulle rallied
their peoples to ultimate victory.
Through faith our men fought
their way back across the Pacific
islands and led in liberating
Europe. All of the last wars
miracles of human resistance were
created by the indomitable beliefs
of ordinary men and women.
What do I mean by faith? Faith
is belief in something beyond and
above yourself. For some, faith is
the belief in a better world, in the
brotherhood of man, in the ulti-
mate triumph of what is just.
decent and right. For a great
many others faith goes beyond
these things. 1t is a profound reli-
gious conviction; the belief in God
and in the immortality of the soul.
Every positive, forward-going
life is based upon the solid
rock Of personal faith.
During the Italian invasion of
his country. Premier Metaxas of
Greece told me: For us, who are
Greek Orthodox, death is only an
episode. The Greeks proved that
as they drove the Fascist invaders
back into Albania. They justified
a prominent physician who says,
You can tell how much real faith
a person has by the way he dies"
The sustaining power of faith is
certainly just as available to all of
us now living under threat of war
as for those who died in war itself.
The belief that what is good must
ultimately prevail - this is what
makes life worth living. Faith is
spiritual, in whatever creed or way
it is expressed. We are Americans,
and everything fine or great which
America is or has was built upon
its peoples faith in a better to-
morrow. 1t is American to believe.
and to believe in life.

not have a little quiet fun? :.
Really, Mr.. Brown. How do you
know that? What's your au-
thority for how many bombs the
Russians have? What books
would you advise me to read on
this subject?" It's interesting how
little serious reading or fact
searching most doom-peddlers do.
Americans, unfortunately, are
highly susceptible to Stains
nerve-war. We tend to see things
all white or all black. We're too
emotional about the hard facts of
world politics and war. People
who appeal to your emotions or
incite hysteria undermine our
chances of preventing war or
of fighting one realistically if we
have to do so. But you don't have
to listen to the irresponsible bab-
blers. Choose those calm, factual
authorities who have real creden-
tials for assessing what we're up
against. Declare a private war
on the defeatists. They're merely
urging US to toss in the towel in
the second round.

side of scorId nesrs.
Bad news always makes the big
gest headlines, naturally enough.
Korea looked plenty bad in those
first weeks - and as / write re-
mains plenty tough. But on the
credit side the Korean showdown
is strengthening Americas and the
free nations long-term prospects
in dozens of invaluable ways. 1t
may have saved us from another
Pearl Harbor. 1t may yet enable
us to prevent a general conflict.
Behind most unpleasant develop
ments there are usually compen-

curate picture. Nine times out of
