against Samuel w. James. 80, COL
ored, and his wife Dolores, 10. of
the 4800 block of East Capitol
street.
The front license plate of the
car. which James had reported
stolen, was found in the alley
adjoining the Simkins home at
1928 Twelfth street NE, after the
robbery Friday night. The car it
self, with one missing license
plate, was found parked in the
1900 block of Twenty-first street
NE. yesterday afternoon.
Empty Safe Found.
A few hours before the car was
found police discovered the safe,
its door pried open and empty, in
a wooded area in the 240O block
of M street NE, about four blocks
from the spot where the car was
found.
James was held in $4,000 bond
on the robbery charge after he
was arraigned before United
States Commissioner Cyril Law
renee. His wife, an expectant
mother, was held under $1,000
bond.
At the time Of his arrest, James
was at liberty under $500 bond
awaiting trial in connection with
an attempted safe robbery last
November. His brothers, Oliver
and Stance w. James are serving
sentences in Atlanta penitentiary
for removing a safe containing
$50. 900 from the home Of former
Detective Sergt. Richard H. Beck
ley in January. 1919.
Maid. Children Tied Up.
James reported theft of his car
Friday night about two hours
after three armed men trussed up
a maid and Simkins' two small
Ichildren, Roger 5, and Lorilyn, 4.
In the Simkins' home az 1928
Twelfth street NE.
Detectives said James told them
he had not seen his car since
about 6 pm. Friday, but his wife
told them they were riding in the
automobile as late as 9 pm. Fri
day. Mrs. James later changed
her story to agree with her hus-
bands. detectives said.
Simkins, a central figure in the
Senate District Crime Committee
investigation, identified his bat
tered safe at police headquarters
last night.
His children and their maid,
Ertha M. Hill, colored, II, viewed
James and his wife at police head
quarters yesterday afternoon. They
could not make a positive identi.
flcation, police said.
Three Men Involved.
The maid and the children were
alone in the Simkins' home when
a colored man brandishing q gun
forced his way in Friday night.
He admitted two other men
through a back door.
The gang leader made the maid
and the children lie down on the
floor while he tied them up.
Simkins said he was certain
the robbery had been carefully
planned in advance and that the
bandits watched his house until
they saw him and his wife leave.
Robbery squad detectives last
might continued to press their
hunt for thre emen despite the
charges against Mr.. and Mrs.
James.
They believe the safe robbers
are members Of the same gang
that took a safe containing $4,000
from the home of William T.

Street, last December Z.

White House ana urge Mr.. Tru-
man not to withdraw his name
because "Mr. Truman perhaps is
unaware Of a very serious situation
which could develop in New
Hampshire if he follows his an
nounced decision" to withdraw.
The National Democratic Chair
man came to Detroit to share the
platform at a Michigan Demo-
cratic rally with Senator Ke-
fauver. Democrat, of Tennessee,
who has announced he will con-

New Hampshire.
Kefauver Opens Campaign.
Neither Senator Kefauver nor
Mr.. Mckinney mentioned the
nomination fight in their prepared
addresses.
Instead, Senator Kefauver made
his speech more of an opening gun
in his campaign for the presi-
dency. He denounced the Repub-
lican foreign policy attitude and
also chided the Truman admins
tration. ....
Mr.. Truman announced Thurs
day he would withdraw from the
New Hampshire fight. He said such
contests were "eyewaSh."
At his news conference, Mr.. Nc
Kinney explained:

Party in New Hampshire have en-

FOR the President to withdraw
would be TO take them out Of the
race. They couldn't even partici-
pate in the National Convention. =
Mr.. Mckinney said Mr.. Truman
could have the Presidential nom-
nation for the asking.
In his address at the rally, Mr.
Mckinney, without alluding to the
Presidents possible candidacy
said of Mr.. Truman:
when the history Of our times
comes finally to be written, hi
will. I confidently prophesy. ranl
not merely as q good President
but as a great President. He has
seen clearly the vitaIissues of his
day, and he has snen clearly
the faith that was in him"
Turning to the Republican side
Of the political picture, Chair
man Mckinney said:
Our Republican opponents are
today engaged in a squalid and
unedifying struggle for control oil
their party organization. Just
why a fight over the empty honor
of being defeated next November
should generate so much bitter
ness I cannot see. But the bitter
ness is there. With the call for a
Republican Convention scarcely
issued, the dead cats are flying
In San Francisco (where the Re-
publican National Committee met

displays Of temper, there were sor-
did rivalries and conflicting ambi-
tions. But from the great Re-
publican Derby Trial at San Fran
cisco there did not emerge a single
suggestion for the benefit of the

The Republicans, MIR. Mckinney
continued, are seriously divided
over the question Of foreign policy
and over support or denuncia-

"Mooz Tzur," is traditional, and
some is new to this listener. All
the songs are appealing and rhyth-
mic, and while simple enough for
our five-year-old, they are suffi-
GENTLY gay to please her more So
phisticated sister, who is just half
past-nine. I am convinced that
anyone who allows another Cha
nukah to go by without presenting
this record to every child or family
of children in his acquaintance, is
missing a sure bet.
Now that another Jewish Music
Month is here for the celebrating,
those of US who are listeners rather
than performers will be buying
these or similar items from a grow
ing list of record releases, so that
we too will have made an invest
ment in a lively and enduring mu-
sical development:
DISENCHANTMENT IN BACH
DAD The long Arabian night
is not yet over. Last month, in
the once enchanted city of Bagh-
dad, two young Jews were hanged
in the public square. The crime
to which they had confessed under
torture was that of bombing the
office of the United States Infor-
nation Service in Baghdad.
1t is commonly and publicly
known that they were innocent. But
even if they had been guilty, their
act would not anywhere have been
considered worthy of the extreme
penalty, since no loss of life was
involved.
But the Iraqi authorities, like
the rulers of the other Arab states,
have been desperate for some
means of distracting their citizen
ry from its many woes and divert
ing it's attention from demands fol-
social reform.
This trial, complete with a pho
ny confession and followed by q
sensational hanging, was made to
order and undoubtedly had the de-
sired eject on the Arab masses.
But such a stop-gap solution is
not the answer to the problems OF
the Arab leaders, who refuse tC
face the fact that feudalism in the
Middle East is doomed and new
era is at hand. They will in time
be forced to accept the verdict Of
| history. In the meantime, a study
of the little neighboring state Of
Israel and it's political and socia
philosophy would surely hasten the
day of redemption for all the op'
pressed peoples in the area. II
that day, such revolving and de-
grading murders as those just per.
petrated in Baghdad would be moth
ing more than an evil memory Of
the long Arabian night.

ord assortment we received this
year. it is because we've taken all
this time to become we'll acquainted
with the music, most of which was
unfamiliar to US.
Corinne Chochem's album of "a
Horah Dances" brings the talents
of Darius Milhaud, Leonard Bern
stein, Ernest Toch and Larry Adler
among others-to the presenta-
ton of a quartet of Israel songs,
accompanied by the Pacific SYM
phonetta and chorus conducted by
Victor Young.
Somehow l had never thought of
harmonica as an appropriate ac-
compartment for an Israel song,
but now / cannot imagine why.
With Larry Adler and the orchestra
PLAYING and the chorus singing,
"Ad Or Haboker" is rhythmic and
gay and altogether delightful. The
instrument and the song are per-
fectly suited one to the other.
Particularly unexpected, think,
is the combination of Darius Mil
baud and the CraOlClOnaI nj III
Tzion Taytzay Torah." The old,
familiar, prayerful tune is gone,
and the new version is completely
modern and secular in spirit. At
ter the first shock (and it must be
admitted that Milhaud in an Israel
setting is not quite as much of a
blow as Milhaud in a sacred serv-
ice), it begins to seem right and
proper that "Out of Zion shall come
forth the law, and the word of the
Lord from Jerusalem" should now
be sung to a new tune in the spirit
of a pioneering, courageous new
Israel. :.
Of all the records we received,
the one most often played this last
month is "Chanukah Music Box"
the first Chanukah child participa-
tion record, and to my knowledge
the first of it's kind for any holiday.
The children do not sit this one
out. They stamp and they clap
and they spin with the dreidel, and
march, of course, with the Macca-
bees. Some of the music, like the

law that says that all matters must
come before the Jewish Community
Council. Likewise there is no
power that the council or any other
group in the community has that
can determine what shall or shall
not go on.
It will, however, occur to all the
good people who eventually must
pay the bill that some clearance,
some agreements, some coordina-
ton is necessary if only to avoid
costly duplication or mistakes that
are difficult to rectify.
It is common knowledge that there
is strong movement on foot to
establish a convalescent home in
the community. There is absolute
ly no doubt that some service for
the chronic infirm is necessary,
especially for those patients who
simply cannot afford the costly care
available at the commercial places
in the community.
But such a venture, amounting
practically to a small hospital in
its facilities and services, should
not be commenced without some
reference to those who are expert
in this field. Moreover, there is q
body of knowledge regarding this
problem which has already been
collected and which it would be
criminal to overlook.
1t should be known in this COM
munity that there is a standing
committee concerned with the care
of the chronically ill that is part
of the Jewish Social Service. The
committee is composed of doctors,
hospital superintendents, social
workers and informed lay people
who are ready, willing and able to
lend aid, information, consultation
and help in any project involving
chronically i'll and convalescent
patients.

Root Of the Matter
By Hirsh Kaplan
Exseutlxs Director Phoenix Jewish Community Counel

Center Committee should proceed
with it's plans to obtain these need
ed facilities elsewhere. Several
plans were suggested by this writer
for the use of the institutional IA
cilities, but all were rejected on the
grounds that the facilities were
just not ample or suitable.
No sooner does the Center en-
bark on its plan to provide the IA
cilities and program but similar
efforts crop up elsewhere among
the same agencies which formerly
were certain they could not provide
space or staff. The emergence of
competitive programs is a sharp
illustration of the unwillingness to
cooperate. The reason for this
unwillingness is difficult to under
stand.
THERE is A marked absence in
the community of religious services
for Jewish youth whose ages range
from 16 to % and who are unmar-
ried.
This group is the most difficult
to work with along religious lines
because Of the cynical attitude to-
ward religion generally which is
prevalent among young men and
women of this age. But hard or
easy, this is the one forgotten
group in the community and the
one in which more effort and en-
phasis should be placed by our
rabbis and congregational leaders.
This column has pointed out the
lack of program in this direction
before. 1t is not for me to say
whether or not separate religious
services for this group is the an
swer to the problem. One thing is
certain-we now have plenty of
recreational activities, or at least
the potential for these activities.
No matter how important these
activities are from the group point
of view, nothing can take the place
of absolute and direct religious par
ticipation.
There seems to be very little or
ganized effort in this direction at
the present time.
