midnight, In their prison cell, Paul and
Silas sang jubilant song-and the
prisoners heard them. How full of night
ingales and larks are what one has called
"the disguises Of the brave! Listening
to Robert Louis Stevenson's merry tunes,
one would never suspect the fears and
Ill health back Of his scoring notes. But
his song was not like whistling boy in
a graveyard. He sang all around the
world while he was questing health.
Only God knows how many times he
sang himself up from sick-bed Even
today. in new and rare bits of auto
biography, his minstrelsy is vocal.
Audiences rollicking in laughter at Mark
Iwains stories and sallies little guessed
that he was pouring his humor out of a
heart torn by personal, family grief and
by crippling business failure.
What fears were back of Abraham
Lincolns funny stories and his chuckling
laughter! No one has ever estimated the
weight Of his private tragedies and of a
war, rending the Union, on his heart and
hands. Once he stopped whistling a
happy tune long enough to write to a
friend thus: IF what feel were divided
to the whole human race, there would
not be one happy face on earth.''
When Ridley and Latimer spent that
last night in the old oxford inn, of
course, they were afraid as the fagots
were being piled up in readiness. But
the almost merry tune that was upon
the lips of Latimer will sing on after the
Martyr Monument in the gray old COL
lege town has crumbled into dust: BE
OF good comfort, Master Ridley! We
shall this day light such a candle by
Gods grace in England as Il trust)
Shall never be put out" All this does
not mean an escape to religion which
is make-believe; it does not mean that
courage is just mask. 1t does mean
that Fear is put in its place and ordered
to stand behind Faith.
That Holy One in the shadow of a
torturing cross. who, before going out to
meet 1t. even on the betrayal night, sang
a happy hymn, seems standing quite
near to the brave banners set up by Mrs.
Karle Wilson Baker, as she sings:
Courage is armour
A blind man Dears,
The calloused scar
OF OUTWARD despairs
Courage is fear
That has said its PRAYERS.

Z0A Slashes
National Staff

NEW YORK CITY (AJP) -
More than a dozen administra-
tive employees were retrenched
or scheduled for release this week
at the national headquarters OF
the Zionist Organization of Amer
lea as a result of financial cut
backs and part of a program aim
ed at streamlining the staff.
At the same time it was learn
ed that the plan to streamline the
ZOA staff might reach into the
various regions throughout the
nation resulting in a general les
sening of professional stats.
Most hard hit by the first wave
Of retrenchments at the national
headquarters were secretaries and
other CLERICAL help. Key personnel
on the administrative level were
not affected.
The streamlined administrative
program came on the heels of a
proposed $5,OOO,OOO ZOA Israel
Projects program proposed and
endorsed in principle at last
weeks National Administrative
Council meeting in Washington.
The enlarged operation provides
for the expenditure of 100000
in Israel and the remaining ST.
100000 for the furtherance of
Zionist mobilization on the
American front.

PLAIN TALK
ONE SABBATH EVE
BY Alfred Segal

ONE SABBATH EVE
It was a Sabbath eve at Char.
1evoix. Mich. and a group Of us
vacationists had assembled at the
summer house Of Rabbi SelwYn
Ruslander Of Dayton. o. for serv.
ices according to the Union IRE
form) Prayer Book.
We had plenty to thank God for
in the happy week that had just
passed. For the sunlight that had
played every day on the lake; for
the undefiled air that was so good
to breathe; for serenity that caused
each day to be as untroubled as
the one before; for the sunsets
that made Lake Michigan look
like some sea out of paradise each
evening.
It was. somehow different from
Sabbath eve at home. At home
you thank God that the hard
week is over. It was 50 full Of
aggravations. what with the, In.
sufferable eeactions Of ones boss.
or the way business had fallen OFF,
all that sort Of thing. Thank God
it's the week's-end.
After we had thanked Him for
everything in the week at Char
levoix, we sat around Rabbi Rus
lander's living room for several
hours, just talking. And what do
you talk about on a Sabbath eve
in paradisical moment beside an
immense shimmering lake into
which the sun is falling?
Well. it's certainly no time for
finding fault with neighbors and
tearing them apart limb from
limb: no time for talk about the
stock market and the prospects Of
cloaks and suits: nor time for any
talk so small.
You get philosophical, even if
you are no doctor of philosophy
or divinity. It happened, though,
that it was a doctor of philosophy
or maybe divinity who on the
Sabbath eve in Charlevoix started
uS toward meditating on the case
of Rabbi Alexander Good.
You may remember Alexander
Good. or do you? Martyrs are so
soon forgotten. He was the rabbi
among the four clergYmen-the
others were Catholic and Protest
ant-who gave their life belts to
soldiers on the sinking transport
Dorchester" in the recent war.
Then. arm in arm. they prayed
and. praying. linked together.
they went down into the sea.
I can't remember exactly how
Alexander Goods name came up
in our group that Sabbath eve
ming but it was DR.. Israel Bettan
who brought Alexander Goods
great and good ghost into the
company. DR.. Bettan was on vaca-
ton from the Hebrew Union Col
lege where for many years he has
been professor of homiletics. He
knew Good intimately as a stu
dent of his and Rabbi Ruslander
knew him as a classmate.
DR.. Bettan thought Alexander
Good and the three other clergy
men who perished with him
would stand deathlsss forever in
the folklore Of mankind striving

Peronistas Increase
Margin in Congress
BY the Assoeiotsd Press

BUENOS AIRES, Nov. 49,
Juan D. Peron is apparently as
sured the almost unanimous sup
port Of Argentina's federal Con.
gress and II provincial governors
during his next term-1952 to 1861
las the nations president.
Provisional but almost complete
unofficial results from Sundays
elections showed today that Pc
ronista candidates swept the
board for the 30-seat Senate and
took all II provincial governor
ships.
The government forces also
were assured complete control OF
the lower congressional branch,
the House Of Deputies. The chief
opposition party, the Radicals,
apparently won only IA of lag
seats-a drop Of 81 places. Results
so far indicated no other opposi-
tion party would be represented
in Congress.
With almost 80 per cent of the
vote counted in the presidential
race, Gen. Peron had 4,009, ,37O
and the Radical candidate, Ricar-
do Balbin, 2,124,o27. Candidates
OF the other six parties partici-
Ipating were nowhere near them.
Among winners Of Congress
seats were 80 women candidates
six senators and "a deputies-ot
the Peronista Party. Seventeen
woman candidates from the oppo.
Sition were defeated.

established by Mr.. Truman's di-

Previous to September Is there
Of course had been many cases
OF innocuous documents being
stamped for official use only but
since the Presidents decree estab-
fishing the principle of sweeping
overall censorship. such cases
have multiplied many times over.

tive Branch-both military and
civilian-has eagerly accepted Mr..

Tory Regime Wins
First TEST in Commons
Over Steel Policies
BY ME Associated Press

LONDON. Nov. 13.-The House
OF Commons gave Winston
Churchill's new Conservative re-
gime its first vote Of confidence
last night. beating down by q 39-
vote margin Labor attempt to
halt repeal of steel nationalist
tion.
The House. voting 320-2sl, re-
Jected an opposition amendment
regretting that the Kings speech
opening Parliament had promised
an end to government ownership
OF the steel industry, which the
previous or-controlled House
had voted.
The Kings speech is written by
the cabinet in power and outlines
its program. Return Of steel to
private enterprise was a major
pledge of the Conservatives in the
october rs general election.
Map Fight on Bill.
The Tory regime disclosed dur
ing yesterdays debate that it
plans to introduce by February /
a bill denationalizing steel. For
mer Supply Minister George
Strauss declared Labor would
fight the bill at every stage. If
the Tories take the industry out
from under government control
I'VE shall seek to restore it at the
earliest possible moment" Mr..
Strauss added.
Approval of the Labor amend
ment to the Kings speech would
have forced the resignation of
Churchill's government.
Margin Is Surprise.
The Tories 39-vote margin was
larger than had been expected
since the government has an over
all majority Of only 16 voting
members of the full house. Mr..
Churchill received the promised
support of the six Liberal Party
M.P.'s. however, and several La
Dor members were absent.
The defeated amendment also
deplored the Conservatives an
nounced intention of removing
certain restrictions from the
nationalized trucking industry.
The Labor government nation
allied Britain's steel industry last
February after a long fight inI
Commons. Although ownership of
the companies has been vested inl
the government. little has been
done to bring the industry under
actual state control.
