To Give New Senator's
Better Assignments

The job of organizing appears
to be leaving some sore spots in
both parties. The latest incident
occurred yesterday when Senator

Republican liberal wing, refused

France Cracks Down
On War-Goods Trade
With Chinese Reds
BY the Associated Press

PARIS, Jan. 9.-France has vir-
tually shut off all shipments to
China that might bolster the
Communist war machine there,
well-informed sources said yester-
day.
Steel products, in particular, it
was said, have been restricted.
There has been no direct govern
ment order banning shipments but
word has been passed to customs
officials to hold up export licenses
for certain categories of goods.
French official sources refused
comment on the slackening of
goods to China, and denied that
the United States last Friday sent
a note protesting the pending
shipment of $4,000 tons Of steel
rails.
Contract Signed in Spring.
1t was authoritatively learned
that some private French COM
panies signed a contract with
Peiping last spring, calling for
delivery of the rails. None OF
these, however, has been delivered
and best informants today said
none would be.
Exports to China last October
last month for which complete
government statistics are available
totaled just under $500. 900, most
of it in steel, fabricated steel and
machinery.
This amount of exports, approx
imately an average monthly ex-
port total for most of 1850, has
now been reduced to a trickle, it
was reported.
Imports $1.S Million.
French imports from China to-
tailed $1.8 million in October, the
figures showed.
Some French official informantS
have been frankly irritated by
protests against projected French
exports to China, while other
nations in the West continue to
ply trade with all Communist ma
tions-"
One source pointed to a story
published here today, quoting a
dispatch from London, that Brit
ain had shipped 9,878 tons of raw
rubber to Russia during the first
II months of 1850.

PLANTATION. The Rashbam feels that
man is thus asked to leave his
comfortable home and dwell in a
shack to remind him that the Is
raeliteS had to cross the desert for
many years with no home to pro-
tect them-only the protecting
arm of the Almighty. It teaches us
not to rely upon the physical re-
sources of our human accomplish
ments; but rather upon the divine
love of the Heavenly Father.
Others, like Maimonidies, felt
that the objective was to carry the
festive mood outside the home so
that all might see us rejoicing in
the fall festival. It may have been
a call to the observant Jews not
to hide his observances but to
make them public so that all
could see his loyalty to his faith.
Still others felt that the fall was
the season when the poor were
driven to seek shelter of the
meager protection of the shacks.
The more comfortable are asked
to dwell temporarily in such
shacks to understand the needs of
the less fortunate.

ANSWER: The term "Succah"
which is the name given to the
temporary hut in which observant
Jews have their meals during the
week of the festival of "Succoth,"
is generally traced to a Hebrew
verb "Suchach." This verb has
one or two related meanings. It

of the Succah. The idea is that

taken by some to mean that the
Succah, which is a protective
symbol for Israel, implies that the
people of Israel are best protected
when they are interviewer with
friendship and cooperation.
The other meaning of the verb
is ito cover" or Ito shelter by
covering" This would, of course
refer directly to the covering of
the "Succah" which is called
"Sechach." It indicates that the
sparse covering over the heads of
those who dwell in the Succah
signifies the protective love of the
Almighty and our faith in his
shelter.

Intimate Social Function Still in Voque
By Gladys Miller

The small luncheon or dinner
for three or more friends is more
strongly back in vogue. Maybe
part Of this is because the pre-
paration time and cost is less.
But many people tell me they have
grown weary of large groups and
broken bits of conversation.
When the group is small, it is
possible to learn, know, under
stand and appreciate personal
problems and points of view.
Small parties strengthen the ties
of friendship, and take away the
loneliness in world of many.
Small parties do require care
full attention. to detail. The
menue served need not and should
not be elaborate. With all of the
reducing diets published, we
SHOULD wake to the fact that
people are consuming more food
than they need.
Should Be Balanced Meal.
There should be a balanced
meal. with food that contrasts
nicely in color and texture. A
new American from Czechoslovakia
told me recently he was fascinated
with this aspect in American
meals. He thought we were the
only nation that did think of
balancing the texture and color.
Naturally the appointments of
your table will be important. You
may need to use what you have
replacing or adding only the things
that are lacking.
But If you are a bride starting
your married life in a new COM
munity. or if you have postponed
creating an entertaining wardrobe
from which to serve your friendly
meals, I can promise you a treat.

the creation of beautiful china,
