tious celebration. The fathers make
no secret of this pious strategy.
Preachers seized upon the idea and
developed it, emphasizing the con-
trast between pagan indency and

quickly detected the symbolic value
of comparison between the sun,

Twenty-six would fail the mental

NEW YORK B ~ Rabhis are
being drafted" for military serv-
ice as chaplains by their own relig-
ious organizations.
Although clergymen are not sub
ject to official selective service,
the Jewish groups-0rthodox, Con-
servative and acknowledgements
their own self.imposed, intramural
draft. Other faiths select chaplains
on a voluntary basis.
But only the Jewish bodies thus
far have filled their quotas, accord
ing to q recent statement by Maj.
Gen. Ivan L. Bennett, Army chief
of chaplains. The services take
chaplains under a quota system
based on national proportions-6S
per cent Protestant, % per cent
Catholic and 3 per cent Jewish.
Were drafting rabbis not be-
cause rabbis are less patriotic than
other. clergymen but because we
wanted the fairest, most democrat
ic and most realistic way of getting
steady supply of chaplains," said
Rabbi Aryeh Lev, director of the
Division of Religious Activities Of
the Jewish Welfare Board, which
co-ordinates the work Of selecting
ehaplains from the three Individual
religious groups.
The system was set up two years
ago, shortly after the start of the
fighting In Korea. Many chap
lains in the military reserves were
being ordered back TO active duty
while younger clergymen, who had
seen no military service, were not
affected.
To avoid such inequities. the
Jewish groups began drafting rsb.
bis, taking equal numbers from the
Orthodox, Conservative and Re-
formed organizations.
We divide those who haven't
had military service into
four groups" Rabbi Lev explained.
First we cal unmarried Tabhls,
then the married ones with 10 chill
dren. then those with one child aud
finally those with more than one
child.
We are noE taking rahbis from

"The coincidence of dates does

Rabbis Are Being DRAFTED For
MilitaryService By Own Church

Lev said, 'but we do have sane
tions if necessary. A young rabbi
refusing the draft might find it
difficult to get a congregation. An
older one might find promotion a
long way off. Happily, in two
years. we haven't had to impose
sanctions"
There are now Ios Jewish chap
lains in the three military services,
about 20 Of them overseas. Seven
are in Korea, which Rabbi Lev
visited recently on an inspection
trip.
Like other chaplainS in the com.
bat areas. the rabbis In Korea
move around like modern-day cir
cult riders-in jeeps. They cover
about so miles day, carrying with
them a portable altar, the Torah
(holy Hebrew scriptures), prayer
books, candlesticks, Ksddush wine
cups and other things used in
prayer.
The rabbi in Korea is not only
a travelling synagogue or temple,
he also is a mobile kosher PIX.
He carries with him kosher salam-
is, meats, chickens and other
specialized foods favored by Jewish
soldiers.
Since the troops are 50 scattered,
il is impossible for Jewish chap
iains to reach all units in Korea
and Japan. In many Of those areas
there are lay soldiers trained by
rabbis 10 lead services.
Also" Rabbi Lev said, I'VE owe
great debt to the Catholic and
Protestant chaplains who have
helped organize Jewish services
where no rahbis were available.
