Alexandria Mayor Marshall ].
Beverley today asked Gov. Battle
to operate the Alexandria Bar
croft and Washington Transit Co.,
if a strike occurs Friday.
In a special letter forwarded to
the Governor, Mr.. Beverley said
the transit company carries ap-
proximately $4,000 passengers
daily between Washington, Alex
andria, Arlington and Fairfax.
Some 500 employees of the COM
pany would be affected by the
possible strike, Mr.. Beverley ad-
ded.
"Vital" to Defense.
This shows that this transit
company's operation is a vital
need to this community and to
the National defense" he said.
'As mayor of the City of Alex
andria, 1 feel that if such a strike
is called it is hoped you will take
immediate steps as empowered by
the Legislature to continue the
transit operations which are vital
ly important" wrote Mr.. Beverley.
Company and union officials.
meanwhile, are deadlocked. The
contract expires midnight Friday.
Edwin Boggs, State commission
er of labor. sat in on a negotiating
session yesterday in an effort to
bring the two sides closer to-
gether. Another negotiating ses-
sion is scheduled for II am. Fri
day. Company officials said they
understood the bus drivers have
called a meeting of their own for
2 am. Friday.
Drivers Reject Offer.
The strike threat developed
after company and union nego-
tiators reached agreement on a
new contract which would have
paid the drivers an additional 10
cents an hour. The drivers re-
jected it, saying they wanted the
same rate paid operators for Cap
ital Transit Co.-which would
mean 10 cents above the figure Of
fered by the company.
Under the present contract,
WB&A drivers start at $1.34 an
hour; get a raise to S144 an hour
after six months and $1.57 per
hour after II months.
In 1949, the State operated
AB&1W for eight months while
the drivers and company were at
odds over contract.

A to apartment house use a 35-
acre tract at Wisconsin avenue

The council also announced

two Tuesdays, election day and
Armistice Day.
The tract sought for apartment
house development is owned by
Mrs. Irene w. Parker. An appli-
cation for rezoning had been de-
MED previously in 1850.
!, The rezoning denial was recon-
mended by the Maryland National
Capital Park and Planning Com

!, The council said the reclassifi-
cation of the tract would be an
, illogical intrusion into an area of
single family developments. The
tract lies between the Maplewood
and Locust Hill subdivisions.

ties adjoining their buildings in

The council indicated the ordi-
nance amendment would be re-
Idrawn as they felt it had been
lmade too broad and provided that
regulations pertaining to paving
and screening of lots had been
made too strict.
The council yesterday approved
a $13,500 street improvement prof.
ect for Linton street from Dale

Real Estate Question

The Arlington Citizens Study
Commission has recommended
that Arlington residents vote
Tuesday in favor Of re-establish-
ing a county department of real
estate assessments.
The question is the last of seven
on voting machines.
The commission, appointed by
the County Board, said it believes
that "in spite of some additional
cost, department of real estate
assessments is essential. It would
more than pay it's way and in
addition should improve the quail
lty and fairness of assessments"
Abandoned Separate Office.
The county had an assessment
department separate from the
office of the commissioner OF
revenue. but had to abandon il
because its authority was declared
unconstitutional by the State
Supreme Court of Appeals. The
General Assembly this year passed
new legislation giving citizens the
right to vote for re-establishment
of a separate unit.
The commission said creation
or the department would not dis
place the present system of gen.
eral re-assessments every -four
years. The proposed department
would permit employment of q
tull-time assessor who, during the
interval between re-assessments
would keep the assessments cur.

property records.

The Jews of this country are
certain to find considerable inter-
est in a celebration called for
September 18th to October 5th of
this year by the National Council
of Churches of Christ in the Uni
ted States. More or less five hum
dred years ago, between 1850 and
1455, the Gutenberg Bible came
off the press. 1t was the first edi-
ton of the Bible to be printed
and, therefore, the first of in
Vulnerable editions which have
appeared from that day to this in
every conceivable language.
Moreover, the publication of this
The Southern Jewish weekly. [volume] (Jacksonville, Fla.) 1939-1992, 1952-09-19

graduating our neighbors on this
achievement, cannot join in the
celebration. The new version hav-
ing been made by and for Chris
tians, it is bound to reflect Chris
tian attitudes wherever the text
lends itself to such Interpretation.
The celebration is therefore
Christian simhah. Nevertheless, it
is in sense of pity that we can
not at least have a parallel fes-
tival; but no appropriate ami
versary presents itself in the his
tory of the Bible among the Jews.
One could perhaps force the
Septuagint to serve the purpose.
If we assume-and it is not i'm
possible-that the first install
ment of the translation which
bears that name, the Pentateuch,
appeared in the year 248 Before
the Common Era, we can obtain
for an anniversary of our own the
round figure of 1920 years since
the first Bible translation ever
made. We can legitimately argue
that, had it not been for this
translation into Greek which
made the Bible available to nom
Jews, no other translation would
have come into being, since there
probably would h ave been no
Christianity. Still, it will not do
to use the Septuagint for this
purpose. Not only would it be
doing some violence to history,
since, after all, we do not know
when during the third century
bee. the Septuagint translation
was done, but it might also do
some violence to- Jewish tradi-
ton which, for the past fifteen
hundred years or more, has not
thought too highly of that trans
lation. We cannot base celebra-
,tion on what to us is a negative
quantity.
