upon calculation and can prob
ably be traced back as far as the
early Greek astronomer who
were known to the RabbiS OF
Talmudic times. One of these
astronomers discovered that a
month is almost exactly 20
days, IL hours and "A minutes.
Another Greek who lived even
earlier found that the moon or
lunar years are grouped in sets
of 19 which form a unit. The
Jewish Patriarch Hillel II, who,
lived in the 4th century c. E.,
used these findings of the
Greek astronomers and accord
ing to Jewish tradition fixed
the Jewish calendar.
Here is the way to calculate
the Jewish calendar: If the time
between one new moon and the
next were exactly 1914 days, then
the problem would be solved by
fixing six months at 20 days and
six months at 80 days. But there
are three reasons why our mathe-

very heated but informative ar
guments by the four speakers.
About 100 persons were present
and seemed to enjoy the debate
very much. The speakers were
frequently interrupted by applause
and at the close Of the speeches
they were showered with questions
from the audience.
Douglas Hall and L. Howard
Bennett argued for the election
Of Stevenson and Sparkman. Tai
madge Carey and P. Kenneth
Peterson urged the election Of
Eisenhower and Nixon.
Jonas c. Schwartz, chairman of
the program committee for the
branch acted as moderator.
Most of the depate conferred
around civil rights and cOrrup-
ton.
Talmadge Carey, prominent
civic figure, opened the debate
with a scathing attack on the
Democratic administration for fail
ing to carry out its civil rights
plank and for being corrupt.
He predicted that the Demo-
Gratis won't press the Nixon
charges.
If they press the issue they
will disclose that 80 per cent Of
both the Republicans and Demo-
Gratis are doing the same thing, d"
Carey stated.
He did however, credit Steven
son for his attitude on the present
controversy as he called il, stand
and sane application" in the Nixon
affair.
Carey cited examples of cor
ruption that have been revealed
under the present administration
and that this was evidence to
him that there should be a change
in administration at Washington.
His concluding statement was
Il think the average American
wants good clean government" It
was his view that Eisenhower was
the only candidate who was cap
able of bringing honesty back into
government.
L. Howard Bennett, prominent
attorney and civic figure and the
first Stevenson speaker, promptly
challenged Carey's charges.

clared that the reason that the
Democratic party hadn't been able
to carry out its civil rights pro-
gram was because Of the "unholy

rights, voted almost en- maSSe-
not for the Democrats, but for
Truman, because he had been the
first President ever to take an I'M
equivocal stand on this issue.
In 1852, there are II states,
with 293 electoral votes, in which
the Negro will Enthusiastically hold
the balance of power in any fairly
close election. 1t takes 266 cleo
toral votes to elect a President
and Vice President-27 less than
the total of those states in which
the Negro could conceivably turn
the tide of victory or defeat for
either party.
In addition, a quiet but deter
mined campaign in the courts
against Acknowledgement during
the past 40 years and more re-
cent one to stimulate registration
and voting have yielded some two
million Negro voters in the South.
The mere existence of numbers
equivalent to the balance Of power
would be meaningless II 1t were
not that Negroes are more united
on civil rights than so large a
segment of voters has ever been
on a single issue.
This election year, is, or may
prove to be, vastly different
from 194S because of this situa-
ton. Harry Truman is not a can
didate. The gratitude shown by
Negroes of every economic STRAIT
UNI, wherever they live or what
ever their party affiliations may
be, has not yet been transmitted
to the shoulders of Adlai Steven
son. Admirable though the Illinois
governors position has been in at
tempting to persuade the Illinois
Legislature to pass an FEPC law
and in sending troops promptly
to Cicero last summer to put
down rioting there( he is still an
unknown and untried quantity to
Negro voters.
When Governor Stevenson-at
his first mass press conference
read into the Democratic plat
form his own Interpretation as to
FEPC and the amendment of the
Senate rules on filibustering, he
won no new friends among civil
rights advocates.
Negroes Have Doubts

sensitivity and integrity accord
ing to those who know him well
and as demonstrated by his re-
cord, may clear up the current
doubts of Negro voters. But other
