Jewish Broadcast
Slated for Sunday

On April 9th, the Eternal Light,
(12:30-1:O0 P. M. EST, NBC Net

the Torah," written by Irve Tu-

of the 10th anniversary of the
New York Board of Rabbis, ac-
cording to an announcement by
the Jewish Theological Seminary
of America, under whose auspices
the program is conducted.
The Call of the Torah" is the
dramatic and moving story of a

whose wisdom, courage and spirit
made him more the teacher than
the pupil-for the boy had cere-

Since the Israel aid bill has the
backing of the leadership of both
the Democratic and Republican
parties why would anyone want
to block it? The House Rules
Committee, w h C h is under the
Craftsmanship of the venerable
Adolph SABBATH of Illinois, has
few men who fall short of Sa-
baths stature. Among them are
Representatives Eugene E. Cox,
of Georgia, Clarence ]. Brown,
Ohio, and Leo E. Allen, Illinois.
These three have, at one time or
another, indicated hostility to
Jewry.
The House Foreign Affairs
Committee will probably ap-
prove the Israel measure without
much ado. From there it will 60
to the Rules Committee. It is re-
called here that a bill to supply
India with $1S0,OOO,OO0 in aid to
prevent starvation ran into trou-
BILE in the Rules Committee after
approval by the Foreign Affairs
body. Even though the most eff
fective propaganda Of the western
world has been based on Presi-
dent Truman's promise to support
democracy in all lands, many
members of Congress refuse to
accept this concept. They are
quick to vote for munitions and
atom bomb expenditures, but
seem reluctant to expand lesser
sums which might win millions
of people to our side.

Israel is a valuable asset as a

Israel RepaYs $l.000.000 Loan

loan about a year ago, it was an
nounced here by David Dubinsky,
president of the union. The ST.
100000 was lent when the Jewish
state was in need of short-term
loans to pay for materials pur-
chased in the United States.
In announcing the receipt of the
million dollar check from the Is
rael Treasury, Mr.. Dubinsky em-
phasized that the Jewish state is
meeting its financial obligations
promptly in spite Of economic diff
ficulties in which the country
finds itself.

100000 Jews in
Danger Zones

An urgent plea to Edward M.
M. Warburg, General Chairman
of the United Jewish Appeal,
from immigration officials in
Jerusalem this week called upon
the. UJA to provide large-scale
funds Immediately for the trans
fer to Israel in the next four
months of 100000. Jews from
Eastern European and Moslem
countries, 10000 of whom must be
evacuated from Iraq.
The decision to bring in 100000
immigrants in the period April
through July was reached by an
Israel overnme nt-Jewish
Agency immigration Coordination
committee, and was brought about
by the critical situation in 1raq
where Jews must leave before
May 81, by order of the 1raq
parliament.
The plea to Mr.. Warburg stress
sed. that funds must become
available not only for this record
immigration program, but for the
construction by July 81 of 10000
temporary housing units.

lists contention in the very first
chapter of the Psalms that Mans
days are as grass" Plucking the
grass would symbolic the action
of the angel of death who pluck
ed a life from our midst.
Others see in this ceremony a
representation of the Psalmist
statement Psalms 72:16) which
spoke of the resurrection of the
dead as follows: ''They shall
blossom out Of the city like the
grass of the EARTH" indicating
that the dead shall spring to life
as the grass that grows upon the
field. Plucking the grass is thus
our symbol of our faith in the
resurrection of the dead.

QUESTION: Why is It custom.
airy to wash ones hands upon re-
turning from a funeral? III. r..
Pensacola. Fla.)
ANSWER: Generally, the most
practical reason offered says that
one washes ones hands whenever
there has been contact between
the living and the dead. Not only
was this regarded as a matter Of
cleanliness, but was also a matter
Of ritual purity. One who came
into contact with the dead was
declared ritually unclean by the
Bible and therefore was in need
Of a publication process. In
Biblical time one was purified
after contact with the dead by
the the watery solution made
from the ashes Of the Red Heifer
which was then sprinkled. upon
those who were unclean. The
water is considered a reminder of
the ancient ritual,
The entire matter of ritual pur-
ification after contact with the
dead is considered by some as a
means of indicating the physical
separation of the living from the
dead. The hands are washed to
symbolic that a period of read
justment is necessary when re-
turning to the problems of the
living and that life must thus go
on in spite of what has passed
before.
QUESTION: Why do'some peo-
pie tear up grass and throw it
over their shoulders after visiting
the cemetery. while some rub
earth on their hands3
ANSWER: The grass is believed
to represent the grass that was
thrown into the liquid mixture
together with the ashes of the
Red Heifer which was used to
cleanse one after contact with the
dead. The same could be said Of
the earth which might represent
the ashes. Others consider this

FOR CONTINUED LAW
ENFORCEMENT

Rep. Barnard, Valley, and eight
other Democrats, this week introduc-
ed legislation calling for an appropri-
alton of $4,000 to the Attorney Cen
erals office for continued enforce
ment of anti gambling laws.
In 1949, the Attorney Generals of
flee was allowed $4,000 for this
same purpose. By reason of long
hours and exhaustive investigation
that office accomplished something
never before done in Montana hist
ory-gave the gambling and slot ma
chine fraternity financial blow esti-
mated at more than $40 millions an
nually. But, if this amount is to
continue to flow into the channels
of better living for Montana families,
and better business for legitimate
enterprise; and, if even more progress
is to be made in stamping out the eco
nomic drain of gambling and allied
rackets, the Attorney Generals office
must have considerably larger APP
preparation than in the past bi-en-
MUM.
An appropriation of $4,000 for
the biennium is not too much to ex-
pend for such enforcement, consider

When a train dispatcher puts out

head-on collision. When a printer

its signals crossed-there's red faces,
or at least there ought to be. Thus
the peculiar situation in which the
Republicans nationally, and Montana
Republicans find themselves in this
week, as concerns Fair Employment
Practices.
1t would be presumptive for me

TO STRENGTHEN INITIATIVE
PROCESS

HB IT by Emmons( Deer LODGE
is bill which should have the sup
port of all who wish to see greater
democracy enjoyed directly by the
people. This bill is aimed primarily
at strengthening the Initiative law in
Montana cities and towns, that city
councils may not arbitrarily overule
the popular expression of opinion as
expressed via the Initiative. Reason
for HB II stems from a continuing
parking meter scrap in the city of
Anaconda. Although the people of
Anaconda decisively turned thumbs
down" on the "curbstone bandits"
the city council went ahead and pur-
chased and installed them anyway.
Should HB n become law, city coun-
ellis would be prohibited from acting
contrary to the popular wish eX-
pressed by the Initiative for at least
three years.

THAT USE TAX REPEALER!

THAT USE TAX KEFEALEk!
Most of us have been laboring
under the impression that repeal
of the SO nuisance tax (Which would
have been dead December 81, 1851,
anyway was just political move
by George O'Conner to add little
lustre to his legislative career should
he get the nod from 'on high" to
run for Second District Congressman
in 1862.
But there's more to it than meets
the eye. The three-buck part of this
repeater" legislation represented
only one section of thirteen of the
1949 act concerning special taxes
to raise additional highway funds.
The other twelve dealt with spec
ial taxes on the heavy trucks which
are our principal highway malefact-
ors, "semi's'', trailers, etc, etc.
Thus, clever political move also
proved to have something more SER
ious behind it-keeping popular at
tention centered on that obnoxious
three dollars, while at the same time
all but making certain that the real
highway destroyers - t h e heavy
transports-wiil quietly be forgot
ten by the public as the ones who
should pay the greater share of ad-
ditional taxes necessary to keep our
in repair.
