play in this crisis, our full role
as American citizens, unhampered
and unfettered by those forces
which weaken our democracy in
the eyes ofthe world and which all
too frequently give our enemies a
justifiable reason to spread dan
gerous propaganda against us.
IN THIS HOUR Of global crisis,
we should demonstrate to the
world that we r a united people
and that we are not only talking
democracy and fighting for it a
cross the earth, but that we are
actually and sincerely demonstrate
ing it in practice here at home.
We are convinced that in order
to defeat communism we must be
militarily strong. But we are
equally convinced that communism
cannot be overcome by military
might alone, however powerful
that might may be-not even by
the superior possession and use of
atom and hydrogen bombs; nor
by the use of psychological i'm
plements of war.
In addition to military power,
we believe that in order to over
come communism and to make the
United States an impregnable CT
tadel of freedom and democracy,
our country must stand above re-
proach in the treatment it accords
all of it's peoples.
Whereas the forces of the United
Nations in Korea are represented
by numerous nations, the United
States has two armies, one black
and the other white. In this back
ground, the concern of the A.

interested in her while she was at

Cincinnati. Of these early days, he
commented:
"When I first met her, she
wouldn't go out with me. I re-

After telling reporters that he
was still single, despite rumors to
the contrary, for several weeks,
the heavyweight king finally ad-
mitted that he and Miss Gartrell
were secretely married Dec. 80,
1919, in New Kensington, Pa. He
also startled them with the fact
that he is the father of a baby
girl, Deborah Charles, born in New
Kensington Feb. 10, 1851.
Explaining that there was no
martial riff between him and his
wife, Charles explained the reason
they are living apart: "It is be-
cause we just think it best to live
this way while I am boxing. I am
away from home so much. Being
an athlete, I don't think I should
set up a house at this time. We
want to wait until things level
off. I hope to buy a house here"
Stories had his bride blue
eyed with blond hair. Many
people thought she was white al
though no paper ever said she
was. 1t was first believed that
the champion would announce
his marriage just before what
was to be a return match with
Joe Louis, the great former
champion.
This bout, scheduled to take
place April II in Chicago, will
not be held, however. At present
both Charles and Louis are ill
and are not to fight for about two

ISRAEL PREMIER HOLDS
TALKS ON COMPOSITION
OF NEW CABINET

JERUSALEM, (JTA) = Pre-
mier David Ben-Gurion held two
successive separate conferences
this weekend with leaders of the
General Zionist and Mapam
Parties in an effort to determine
whether the two groups will serve
in the same Cabinet under the
leadership of the Mapai.
1t is felt here that the meetings
have reached the decisive stage
and that while differences exist
on foreign and domestic policy,
the main problem is the number
of Cabinet posts demanded by
each of the parties. The Mapam
decision on whether or not to par
ticipate in the Cabinet will be
taken at a special conference of
the party's central committee.

QUESTION: Why does the
Jewish woman cover her head
and face with a cover while MAX
ing the blessing over the Sabbath
candles on Friday evening? ~.
u. Boston. Mass.)
ANSWER: There are number of
reasons advanced for this custom.
Principally, blessing is made in
Jewish life before an act is done.
In the case of the Friday evening
candles, this would be improper
since by making the blessing the
woman accepts upon herself the
sanctity of the Sabbath and she
therefore couldn't perform the
act of lighting the candles which
is a dissertation of the Sabbath if
it is done after the Sabbath is ac-
copied. She therefore shields her
eyes before making the blessing
Immediately after the lighting of
candles so that she doesn't enjoy
the light of the candles until the
blessing. Blessings are made be-
fore acts to remind man that he
must pay tribute to Cd before
he acts. Another reason suggested
traces the origin of this practice
to the case where the woman, not
quite prepared for the Sabbath at
the time of the kindling cere-
mony, yet afraid it will be too late
to do so later, would ask another
to do it for her. She would screen
her eyes from the lights of the
candles to show that even though
her candles are already Lit she
has not accepted the Sabbath yet
and reserves the right to make the
blessing a little later. The cover
ing of the head was so impressive
that it became the exception
rather than the rule. Others claim
that woman does this out of
humility because she remembers
that it was on the eve of the Sab
bath that Eve talked Adam into
eating the forbidden fruit. For
whatever reason it may be, cover
ing the head for the Sabbath
blessing over the candles has be-

QUESTION: If travelling is
prohibited on the Sabbath. why
is it permissible to travel on
board ship on the Sabbath?
ANSWER: Travelling on a ship
on the Sabbath is only permitted
when the traveller boarded the
ship prior to the oncoming of the
Sabbath and established a sort of
residence there. This would there
fore not constitute travelling but
rather residence in a floating
home. Actually a voyage may be
considered as such. In cases where
the ship embarks on the Sabbath
itself, observant Jewish passen-
gers always board the ship before
the Sabbath, making the Kiddush
there and establishing it as their
residence.
