ParIeys On
1952Drive
Are Called

A series of community
meetings has been called by
Newton Rosenzweig, presi-
dent of the Jewish COmmun-
ity Council, to determine the
needs of local agencies and
services in preparation for
setting the goal of the 1852
United Jewish Welfare Fund
drive.
At the same time, Rosenzweig
announced that he has written to
all national and overseas agencies
requesting budgets and financial
statements so that these needs also
may be surveyed preliminary to
the local campaign.
The drive is scheduled to start
late in January.
Things look mighty encourag-
ing" said Rosenzweig. "Not only
do we have a fine campaign chair
man who is making commendable
progress, but as a result of our
budgeting meetings we actually
have arrived at a figure for the
local agencies which is $4,000 less
than last year. Now if only the
other national and overseas agen-
cies would scale their requests
down, too-well, maybe that would
be Utopia!"
Fuchs Pushes Plans
The new campaign chairman, Jo-
seph Fuchs, young Phoenix bus
inessman and active civic worker,
announced that plans for the cam
paign are progressing rapidly.
"Even though / knew that the
record of cooperation in this city
for the Welfare Fund campaign has
always been very good, I've been
very. gratified and pleased at the
way in which my requests to var
ious people for help have been an
swered," said Fuchs. 81 have yet
to find one person who has not
consented TO serve.
campaigning is new exper-
ience for me. / don't mind telling
everyone that at first the job
looked very tremendous to me. It's
still a mighty big job and a lot OF
hard work, but with the kind of
help I've been promised, there is
no reason why Phoenix can't have
a 1862 record to be proud Of"

Pointing out that the coming
Chanuka holiday is the traditional
season for the interchange of gifts
and presents, the three Rabbis of
Phoenix have urged the Jewish
community to make its Chanuka
gifts to children and other family
members in the form of State of
Israel Bonds.
Rabbis Morton Fierman, A. l..
Krohn and Harry 2. Shectman,
speaking for Congregations Beth
Ell, Beth Hebree and Beth Israel,
declared that the proposal has the
full support of the Jewish commu-
nifty. They emphasized that "for
thousands of years Jews have cele-
brated the bringing of light to the
Temple at Jerusalem, and it should
now be an integral part of our
Chanuka celebration to help bring
light to the pioneers of Israel"
Reflect Confidence
The State of Israel $500, 200, 900
independence Bond Issue, they ex-
planned, is a concrete expression of
the confidence of the American
people in the growing strength of
the new country. 1t is proof of
their determination that future
Chanukas will not have to be cele-
brated in Israel in an atmosphere
of rigid austerity and rationing.
The Phoenix Jewish news., 1951-12-21

"The bond ISSUE" they said, "is
the most practical method for help
ing to insure the economic inde-
pendence of the new State of Is
rael, and the gift of Israel Bonds
during this joyous season is the
finest way in which we Americans
can celebrate the Festival of
Lights"
Symbols of Partnership
"Our children" the rabbis add
ed, "are more than eager to par
ticipate in the spirited Chanuks.
celebrations that are taking place
among the school children of Is
rael. Israel Bonds are living and
growing symbols of our children's
partnership in the pioneering en-
terprise that is Israel today.
"The child who becomes the own
er of an Israel Bond at Chanuka
time knows that his Chanuka gift
is helping to purchase economic
freedom for the children of Israel,
and the child to whom the gift is
made knows that he holds a sound
investment in the future of Israel.
Nothing could serve more fitting
ly the traditions of joyous fulfill
ment that characterize the Chanu-
ka season than the exchange of
Israel Bonds among friends and
relatives"

WASHlNGTON-An ad-
vance of $25,73O,OOO of
American grant-in-aid to Is
rael will be forthcoming i'm
mediately, it was announced
last week by the state de-
partment.
The announcement was made by
Undersecretary of State James E..
Webb in a letter to Abba S. Eban,
ambassador from Israel. Webb
termed the grant emergency eco
nomic assistance. 1t is part of the
$65,0O0,O0O appropriated for Israel
under the Mutual Security Act.
The advance, which is being
made because of Israels critical
need, will be authorized under let
ters of temporary agreement ex-
changed by the state department
and the Israel Embassy in Wash
ington. The final agreement will
be signed after Technical Coop
Grafton Administrator Bruce Nc
Daniels arrives in Israel.
For Refugee Aid
Much of the advance grant will
be spent on refugee relief and re-
settlement projects in Israel.
In Jerusalem, meanwhile. Henry
Morgenthau, Jr., predicted that
Israel would achieve Economic in
dependence" within five years.
Morgenthau made the forecast dur

anyone" said Morgenthau,
"who has seen the new industrial
area in Beersheba, the great new
harbor development project at the
Koshon River, the mining opera
tions in the Negev, or the fertilizer
and chemical plant going up in
Haifa, must realize that the Israel
government can put to productive
use the funds raised through the
Israel bond drive in the United

Sawyer Trial Delayed |
As Court Extends Time|
For Contempt Answer

A delay of more than two weeks
seemed likely today in the con-
tempt of court trial of Secretary
Of Commerce Sawyer, Solicitor
General Perlman and eight others.
The United States Court of APP
peals, splitting 2 to / late yeSter-
day, gave the Government week
to amend a formal answer denying
that the 10 defendants def1ed and
disobeyed that courts decisions.
Justice Department lawyers said
this might lead to further court
room arguments. Attorney Cen
eral McGrath is expected to am
plify constitutional and jurisdic-
tional issues he believes the Su-
preme Court should decide in the
battle between the Government
and the Dollar shipping interests
for control of the American Presi-
dent Lines.
Those questions challenge au-
thority of the appeals court to cite
the officials for contempt and also
to interfere with a California Fed
eral Court order siding with the
Government against transfer of
the stock to the Dollar interests.
The appeals court, however,
gave little encouragement yester-
day to Government attorneys who
hope the contempt charges will
not be tried.
The court rejected a motion by
Mr.. McGrath that Judges Bennett
Champ Clark. Wilbur K. Miller
and E. Barrett Prettyman dis
qualify themselves from hearing
the contempt charges. Another
Government motion that the mat
ter be heard by the full bench of
the court was turned down by all
nine judges.
During the noon recess, Mr..
McGrath submitted a bulky writ
ten response to the charges con-
tanned in the contempt citation
issued earlier this month by the
appeals court. It was essentially
a reply to the 33-page statement
Of views read by Judge Prettyman
for himself and his two associates
at a hearing April IL.
Judge Miller noted that the
hasty filing Of the response att
noon yesterday had given the
court no opportunity to study it.
Because of the Governments wish
to submit important changes and
amendments to complete the re-
sponse the court gave Mr.. Nc
Grath another week. The judges
set no date for trial on the con-
tempt charges, but indicated they
would not allow any undue delay.

Georgetowners Wait
Summer Test Of Odors

Georgetown residents are won-
dering if the good old summer
time will bring back the not-so-
good odors of a rendering plant
In the area.
For this reason. the George
town Citizens Association last
night decided ito adopt the wait
and-see recommendation Of Miss
Violet G. Griffin, chairman Of its
Public Health Committee.
Last October, Assistant Corpo-
ration Counsel Clark F. King gave
the Hopfenmaier Co. until April
to discontinue the annoying odors
coming from it's plant at 5000 K
street NV. The company recently
reported that it has taken steps
to correct the situation.
Miss Griffin said she heard no
complaints in a recent survey of
the neighborhood, but she added
that warm weather will bring the
real test.
Earlier, Brig. Gen. Karl S. Brad
ford, president of the group, re-
ceived a gavel from Cornelius
Kelliher. IA, of 610 Twenty second

citation for the generals work in

Montana Experiment Station

Editors note:-To the best of
our knowledge this is the FIRST
report of a larger lamb crop due
to increased feeding after breed
ing. and if if proves TO be valid
In further studies If will un-
doubleday result in great finan-
cial advantage in the operation
of range sheep in this country
and elsewhere.
RESEARCH ON reproduction in
sheep collected during the winter of
1949-50 seemed to indicate that ewes
which were on higher plane of nu-
triton gave birth to more lambs
than ewes on lower level of feed.
This was especially surprising be-
cause the ewes were all run in one
band before and during the breed
ing season.
To check this interesting lead fur
ther, the experiment, was repeated
during the past winter (1950-51) and
the difference in the levels of feed
ing was increased. To make a greater
difference in the feeding after breed
ing, an additional group of Sc ewes
was selected and wintered at Boze-
man on higher plane of nutrition
than the ewes which remained on
the range. This group Of ewes was
selected so they were similar to the
rest of the band in age, breeding and
previous treatment. This band was
handled entirely separate from the
nutrition band and it is interesting
to compare the production with the
other groups.

SEE THE HEAD MAN

There is an old proverb TO the
effect that if you want some
thing. see the head man. Follow
ing that proverb may pay off
for farm leaders who have been
trying TO persuade defense Off
Gals TO allocate adequate guam
titles Of production facilities TO
farmers.
For several months farm spokes-
men and the agriculture department
hammered at officials on the lower
rungs of the official ladder, but all
they got was a fancy runaround.
Finally, Secretary Brannan went di-
rectly to chief mobilizer Charles
Wilson.
Wilson agreed to attend ssbrief-
ing session at the agriculture de-
partment on what it takes to get
record production of crops and live
stock. They gave him the works.
What every farmer knows aston
ished Wilson.
The mobilization boss went back
to his office and wrote Brannan a
letter promising more areful
study of agriculture's needs.

Did Rainmakers Cause
Disastrous Floods?

ARTIFICIAL RAIN-MAKERS are
being blamed in some quarters for
having at least contributed to the
record Kansas Missouri flood. The
result probably will be more strict
control over private rain-making ac-
Invites.
Early this year several bills
to provide for federal registra-
ton and control of rain-malking
companies were introduced in
congress. Some hearings were
held and if appeared that noth-
ing would be done at this ses-
sion. But. the Kansas Missouri
flood changed all that.
Sen. Clinton Anderson of New
Mexico and Rep. Francis Case of
South Dakota fished the bills out
of the ash can and put combina-
ton bill on the legislative calendar.
There is a good chance that congress
viii do something this session.
The United States weather bu-
reau, however, puts little stock in
claims that artificial rain-malxing
had much to do with the floods.
The bureau comedies that there is
a remote possibility of a connection,
but insist that more research is
needed to provide proof
It is known that there were hun
dteds of rain-making projects under
way from Montana to New Mexico
just prior to the floods. It is known,
also, that silver iodide shot into the
air rises at the rate of miles per
hour and may drift for 200 or 800
miles before it reached clouds in the
upper strata.
The weather bureau pulls out
some old charts to show that the
rain-making may not have beer
responsible. Those charts show thai
through June and early July cur
rent of cool air was crashing head
on into current Of moist, warn
air from the south over the flooc
region. The result, naturally, was ;
lot of rain, the bureau says.

decline: First, grazing conditions
have been exceptionally good and
more cattle are being held back.
Second, breeding stocks are being
expanded. Cow and heifer market
ings in the first half of this year
showed a IL percent decline, COM
pared with the first half Of 1850.
Calf slaughter dropped 16 percent.
Steer slaughter was down s per-

LEss BEEF % MARKET

Washington officials are try- 5.
ing to explain away some very
bad guesses early this year as
TO the amount Of beef TO be mar
keted during the year. They
may have overestimated beef
slaughter by at least 500 100000
pounds.
EARLY estimates were based on
surveys showing 100000 head of
cattle on farms Jan. /, 100000 more
than a year earlier. That would
mean, the officials estimated, about
A or 5 percent more beef marketed
in 1851. But, in the first half Of
this year beef slaughter actually
dropped by 8.8 percent. It will come
to market later in the year, the of
ficials insisted.
But, the July report of 9 percent
fewer cattle on feed in the corn
belt, compared with a year earlier,
just about blasted that prediction.
The report showed, too, that there
were only half as many heavy steers
II, 300 pounds and over-on feed as
a year ago. There were, however,
about as many lightweights- 900 to
900 pounds on feed as a year earlier.
Few Of these will reach market be-
fore November or December.
Looking for an explanation, Of
ficials found two reasons for the
