be thankful that Russians lack the backbone to fight
that the Germans and the Japs had before the beginning
of World War II.
Russia history proves has been loath to wage war
and that the type of in which is adept spread
lies and resort to chcaney to try to create dssension
among nations aligned against her.
We thankful that the hurricane season is over
and that hurricanes this way For the benefit of
strangers who have heard dire things about Florda hur

had Weather Bureau station center of only one hur-
ricane G870) passed Key West and that only two
lives in all that time have been lost in hurricanes in Key
West, one in the 1909 and in the 1910 hurricane

"They figure it would cost as

HOMELESS WAITS HAVE
A GLOOMY THANKSGIVING
BY DOROTHY RAYMER

Let's suppose. Pretend you are
seated in a clean, comfortable
room served with a fine Thanks

to a glistening brown glaze over
a thick slab 6i delicate white meat,
and your plate is heaped with
whipped mashed potatoes steam
ing savorily with gravy flanked
by perfectly favored, richly but
tered vegetables, a tasty chefs
salad, a dab of garnet-cOlored
cranberry sauce-and visions of
pumpkin pie dance through the
future. All this and coffee, too. And
then. suppose you found that
everyone you knew and loved, or
even a casual acquaintance you
might have planned to dine with,
had vanished.
The loneliness would probably
overwhelm your appetite. You
might eat automatically, but the
JOY just wouldn't be there. You'd
feel like a deserted dog and want
to throw back your head and howl.
There are a half a dozen dogs
out at the Humane Society in the
same plight. Only their situation
is real, not supposed. They are
up for adoption" but no one has
come to offer a home. On Thanks
giving Day. they will all get an ex-
ira ration of meat in addition to
the regular meal. They have
clean, comfortable compartments.
But even dog can be lonely.

ting :" The Secretary said that
five American fiscal experts were
sent to Saudi Arabia. These fl
nance experts went, at American
expense, to teach Ibn Saud's
treasurers how to count the funds
in the royal treasury. Acheson did
not reply to Brewster's query on
Saudi Arabia's anti-Jewish pro-
gram, which extends even to
American Jews.
Sen. Fulbright was told Of Is
rael's economic plight and severe
austeritY sacrifices. But he still
demanded to know If the banks
which were open to the Arab
Governments were not also avail
able to Israel. Gardiner patiently
explained that "Israel's line of
credit appears to be exhausted
at the present time"
In 1948, members of the Senate,
almost without exception, de-
manded a free Israel. At that time
the State Departments Near East
ern Division did what it could to
sabotage the birth of the state.
Today, as the state struggles to
survive as a free democracy, Sen
ators who once displayed warm
tn, now indicate sarcasm and hos
tility. The turn of events has
completed the circle to the point
where the State Department Near
Eastern Division emerges as a
defender and champion of the
state. The reasons for supporting
Israel, according to the State De-
partment, are based ON global
strategy and the national interest
to America.
In all the Committees session
on aid to Israel never was the
fact mentioned that Il was the
Arab states which waged an ag-
gressive war. No Senator said
that Israel has strained her ye.
sources TO absorb Jewish refugees
from the Arab states. When the
Senators complained about Is.
rael's use of abandoned Arab
property. no one mentioned that
Jewish property was confiscated
by national decree in Iraq and
other Arab states. Not word was
said about the Arab economic
warfare which is still being
waged against Israel to the detxi-
ment of the free world.

Arkansas, Theodore F. Green, of
Rhode Island, and H. Alexander
Smith, of New Jersey, expressed
bitterly over the pro-
posed appropriation for Israel. A
objection was that in
dividual Israelis would receive
more help, figured on per capita
basis, than individual Arabs in
the various Arab countries.
Sen. Smith told Gardiner: You
are going to give the Jews a high

Arabs then. that are kicked out?
Gardiner attempted to explain
how the "ingathering Of the ex-
lies" resulted from the Hitler PEI
secutions. But he found himself
confronted with questions of
whether the State Department IA
vored Israel over the Arab states
and if this government "acquies-
ced" in the displacement of the
Arab refugees. Sen. Fulbright
asked if we supported Israel for
Sentimental reasons" or "for So
called national security" Gardi-
ner assured the Senator that it

The Mutual Security Aid pro-
gram is ostensibly designed to
strengthen free nations. Yet no
choice was taken by the Commit

democracy existing in Israel and
the totalitarian dictatorship in the
Arab states. The contrast was ig-
nored even though Sen. Owen
Brewster, of Maine, asked Secre-
tary of State Dean Acheson some
embarrassing questions about our

Brewster asked Acheson ITO re.

BY Alfred Segal

over women ana fhe1T places.
Should women be segregated. in
accordance with tradition. or al
lowed TO sit among the men in
the synagogue: TO sit among men
and maybe tempt their eyes away
from contemplation Of the holy
things.
That pretty neck with its ador-
able ringlets upon which even
most pious men could feel it a
privilege to hang himself and die
happy! Or that beautiful raven
head that stands so proudly on
her shoulders! Such lovely things
may Seduce mans eyes even in
a synagogue.
I myself know how that is from
experience in the unsegregated
Reform temple which ! attend.
Not that I ever permit my eyes to
be bewitched by female charms
amid the sacred auspices Of the
temple. No! Nothing like that.
Yet my errant mind may run
away with purely philosophical
melitations as ! sit there directly
behind Mrs. Zilch.
Oh, muse, what time can do
to a woman! The way it has done
to Mrs. Zilch! I used to worship
her when she and I were only 18.
Her every footstep made holy
ground for me. Her hair looked
as if spun from moonlight. Her
face was the essence of all the
beauty I could imagine. Her fl
cure and now look at her!
My compassionate heart let's
itself wander away from the rit-
ual in sorrow for Mrs. Zilch and
her lost youth. God forgive me
for this impietY on account Of my
compassion. anyway.
Sure enough, that's what may
happen even to "a devout soul
when women are thrown helter-
SHELTER among men in the syna-
gogue and that, I gather, is what
bothers the minority of the older
folks of the Louis Feinberg Syna-
gogue of our town. The younger
ones who are said to be in the
majority have proposed that the
women be released altogether
from segregation and allowed to
sit with the men.
None Of that. the elders protest.

The curtain was high enough 20

When some years ago, the new

elders felt obliged to make con-
cessiOns to the younger ones who
from the pristine Orthodoxy were
turning toward Conservatism. The
curtained area of segregation was
abolished; the women were al
lowed to sit in plain sight of the
men, only the center aisle sepa-
rating the sexes.
Now the matter Of women has
