Community
Affairs

Things are not going too well
in planning the celebration of the
3OOth anniversary of Jewish set
element in America :. There is
still no clear picture as to how
the necessary funds for large
scale celebrations can be obtained
D.. At present there is a sugges-
ton that the celebrations be
limited to the erection of a spe-
cia1 wing at the Library of Con-
gresS as Jewish national monu-
ment =. This would probably
cost several million dollars, but
will at least be of permanent
value The money for this
project can be raised through a
special campaign to which Jewish
Federations and Welfare Funds
are expected to contribute to a
substantial extent The build
ing of a special wing at the Lii
brary of Congress in Washington
would naturally not exclude local
Jewish communities from cele-
brating the Precautionary in any
way they see fit 5. The original
plans, submitted by the Ameri-
can Jewish Historical Society,
provided for the publication of
special books and pamphlets re-
fleeing Jewish participation in
the development of America for
the last 800 years :. Also a huge
costume pageant and parade in
New York, the production of spe-
cial plays based on Jewish history
in the United States, as well as
films for theatres and community
centers E. It was also suggested
that special song be composed,
and that monthly Tercentenary
Gazette be published for a period
of six months-up to and during
the celebrations =. Other recon-
mendations were presented-all
designed to carry out the celebra-
ton in a broad national manner
which would viviTly bring home
to all Americans the deeply root
ed stake of the Jews of the Uni
ted States Some of them will
probably be put into effect, but
not all :. And to think that
American Jewry, which annually
gives no less than 200 million
dollars for all kinds of philan-
thropic activities, cannot mobilize
the funds needed to make its
Tercentenary a really impressive
and memorable affair ..

dlSarmlngly innocent look, there
will be scoffers who will want to
know whatever happened to the
young mans ideas. They never
turn up in the Screenplay, pos
sibly because they were left on
the cutting-room floor but more
likely because there never were
any ideas in the script.
Glenn Ford plays the young man
supposed to have had the ideas.
He Is an agreeable enough charac-
ter and no one Of reasonable taste
would complain about his femi
nine colleagues. These include
Ruth Roman, Nina Foch and
Denise Darcel. They constitute
q variety at least, like vegetables

Guy Mitchell as the weeks stage

that the whole family, including
