This was one of the cannonadeS
fired by Ludwig Lewisohn, speak
ing at a rally sponsored by the
Committee for Kashrut at the l..
l. Jewish Hospital. The author,
critic, and professor of literature
at Brandeis University, character
lied "these people =. who do not
want kashrut, and who subsidiZe
books about anti-Semitism" as
foolish and blasphemous enough
to hope that anti-Semitism can be
eliminated by reducing their Jew
iShneSS to a minimum"
Junior Leaguers'
Declared LeWiSohn: ct h e y
hope that the day will come when
anti-Semitism will be no more,
and their daughters can join the
Junior League"
The Long Island hospital has
been the subject of violent con-
troversy because of the announ-
ced plan to establish one trefa
and one Kosher, instead or one
kosher kitchen.
LeWisohn contended that a pro-
posed referendum among the
Long Island Jewish community
would offer no solution, since
democracy is not the surest sign
of truth" noting that Hitler was
elected by a German majority,
and that he would prefer to build
a smaller, kosher hospital if the
majority would support the pres
ent "half-kosher" plan.
Hits Committee, ADJ
Most of Lewisohn's talk, en-
titled what Ails Jewish Philan-
thropy in America!" was devoted
to a TRADE against the American
Jewish Committee and the ADJ.
Tnstinctive Protest
"Anti-Semitism cannot be de-
stroyed' contended LeWisohn,
"for in ancient times as in mod
ernity it is the instructive protest
of the pagan world against our
existence, and cannot disappear
until the pagan world is no long
er pagan"

be kosher, but these people are
beyond decency. They are fight
ing for extinction! They want
the death of themselves as Jews
and the death of the Jewish peo-
ple!"
Lewisohn declared the fight for
kashrut at the hospital symbol
lied the continued life of the Jew
ish people. "If you want the Jew
ish people to live as free men,
we must fight this fight here To-
cally, next somewhere else, next
nationality"
Replying to question regard
ing the non-sectarian nature of
many Jewish institutions, Lewis
ohm asserted: "Non-sectarian in
stitutions are very dangerous. 1
hope to see the day when no Jew
ish institution is non-sectarian."
Following the meeting, Lewis
Ohm said that he wouldn't classify
the American Jewish Congress
in the same category as that of
the Committee and ADJ. He said
he was no longer a member of
Congress, however, but belonged
to the ZOA.
Opposes Sports
He said that he didn't think
that Brandeis University should
play football on the Sabbath, and
was always against Brandeis
participating in intra mural
sports.
Asked about kashrut at the
school dining facilities, the pro-
fessor explained that they had
kosher food catered in," but that
the school facilities were not ko-
sher Questioned as to whether
he thought the same standards he
had applied to a Jewish-sponsored
hospital should apply to Brandeis,
as Jewish-sponsored university,
Lewisohn answered eyes, but I'm
not running Brandeis."
He replied mo" when asked
whether he was considering resig-
nation in keeping with his prin-
ciples, saying he would bore
from within"
LeWisohn noted that the num-
Der of obServant Jews has been
increasing with each Brandeis
freshman class.

said this was a worthy aim, but

ties), is unphilosophical and un-
realistic, and shows complete

ture suggested that the six mil

would be put to better use if
spent for Jewish education.

out that "as a mere matter of
good manners, of decency, of po-
likeness, if a 41st hospital is built
here, and built by Jews, it should

Of the way the political winds are blowing
throughout West Germany.
Nevertheless it is interesting, II not sig
nidcant, that in these elections Chancellor
Adenauer's conservative Christian Democratic
Party has lost some local ground. With the
Socialists doing little bit better than in the
past, the chief gamers have been the Free DEM
ocrats whose views-as second ranking members
of the Bonn coalition government-are to the
right Of those held by Adenauer and his fol-
lowers but who have supported Bonns funda-
mental policies. In that sense, Sundays returns
do not seem to foreshadow any serious modi-
fication of West Germany's approach to
international issues.
The only genuinely disturbing aspect of
Sundays vote is that extremists on the right
have scored surprising number of local VIC
tories. Some of these victories will be voided
because the candidates involved are guilty of
having violated the ban against the neo-Nazi
Socialist Reich Party, but the mere fact of their
election suggests that Hitlerism still enjoys
measure of support in Germany.
Taken as a whole, however, the voting
returns-as far as national policy is concerned
can hardly be regarded as firm evidence Of a
politically retrogressve trend in West Germany
The coalition at Bonn seems to be about as
strong as ever, and the chances are that the
1858 parliamentary elections will not result in
surprises of sort that could be seriously
upsetting to the Atlantic community.

The Vote in West Germany

Although apparently rejecting marked
rightward swing in public sentiment -rightward
of the present conservative coalition govern
ment at Bonn-the results of Sundays voting
in three West German states need to be read
with considerable reserve. It would be loose
assumption at any rate, to describe them as
sure sign of how the country as whole will
60 in next years parliamentary elections.
This is so because last Sundays vote, besides
being limited to three states, involved only
town and county ofices-a fact that made the
prediction campaign revolve primarily around
local issues and personalities. In the circum-
stances, with national and international ques-
tions thus subordinated, it is anything but
certain that the results add up to an indication

that the crow had passed out OF the

At about the time Of the above in

The bird took UP its station near

Eisenhower administration to come into
say, to decide what must be done and
how to do it.
Gov. Stevenson has couple Of
months. anyway. to think things over
while he ends his term Of Office. So far
he has not commented publicly on sug-
gestions that he keep himself available
But neither has he been unreceptive to
the advice. There is some basis for the
notion that Gov. Stevenson had his
sights trained on 1856 when he backed
away from the nomination last spring.
His reluctance seems to have been
grounded in the thoroughly justified fear
that Gen. Eisenhower would be an al
most impossible man to beat.
Whatever his attitude today, it is
reasonable to believe that the Governor
would accept the nomination again if
the political omenS are propitious.
Assuming that he will try to keep him
self available. the question remains.
what should he do for the next four
years. There have been a lot Of Sug-
gestions-among them, that he might
accept the presidency of university, a
post with the Ford Foundation, or an
appointment to the United Nations. Any
of these proposals might be tempting.
But his advisers warn against taking
such jobs.
There is rumor that the Governor
has been offered the University of Chi
cago presidency that Robert Hutchins
gave up last year. There is also, of
course. vacancy coming up at Colum-
bia. The hitch is that neither the uni
versities nor the Governor are anxious
Evening star., 1952-11-12
By Crosby S. Moves

About the last on-the-record ques-
tion asked of Gov. Stevenson election
night in Springfield :. was whether
he would be in the running in
1856. In friendly way. he sug-
gested that the questioner should have
his head examined.
Unoer the circumstances, the answer
was to be expected. And it probably
should be taken as seriously as the
Governors proposal last spring that he
would shoot himself if nominated. In
fact. as the Democrats begin picking
themselves uL off the floor, there is
good deal of discussion about the politi-
cal future of the man who led them to
defeat
Ordinarily such talk would be dis
missed as silly. AS general rule, politi-
cal parties don't try twice with candi-
date who has not at least come close to
vic.ory-although the Republicans tried
Dewey twice. There are admittedly many
who think that the rule will quite prop
erly be kept on the books. But others,
including some reasonably astute poll
ticiais. are not prepared to write OF the
Governor too soon.
These people look on the Republican
victory primarily as the product Of two
things: The personal popularity Of Gen.
Eisenhower and cumulative desire for
change running back to the second
Roosevelt administration. The generals
popularity. they hope, will not wear well.
The desire for change, If 1t exists in
'56, will be to the Democrats advantage.
Most particularly. these people do not
read into the election results any real
reputation oil Democratic policy or Of
the man who represented it. They be-
lieve that Gov. Stevenson was the
strongest candidate the party could have
put up and that if he runs again four
years from now he will win.
Some basis for this line Of reasoning
may be derived from the kilograms that
have poured into the executive mansion
in Springfield since the election. ma
jority of them. Of course, are obviously
partisan such as the one which In
formed the Governor that "You have
more in defeat than he has in de head" !"
But there is also significant number
that echo the sentiments OF the voter
who wired: We're for you in '56. but
we just wanted a change"
In post mortem press conference IN
Springfield, Democratic Campaign Man.
ager Wilson Wyatt admitted frankly
that most of his associates are hoping
the Governor will run again. Mr.. Wyatt's
own view is that the candidate proved
his greatness in the campaign and that
this greatness will grow.
But when it comes to predicting how
a second Stevenson campaign will come
about, neither Mr.. Wyatt nor any one
else has many specific ideas just now.
They are advising the Governor to sit
tight. to make no decision about the
future. and to wait for trends in the
