QUESTION: Why do we find
many old sYnagogues in other
lands located near cemeteries?
ANSWER: There is an historic
reason for this. In certain coun-
tries there were despotic rulers or
governments who would not al
low Jewish synagogues to be
built within the city. Thus the
Jews were compelled to build
their synagogues at the city
limits if they were to build them
at all. Naturally, this would
place the synagogue in the proxi-
nifty of the cemetery which was
also located on the outskirts of
the city.
1t is interesting to note that
certain prayers were especially
added to the liturgy as result
of this condition to take care of
the latecomer who would be
tardy because of the great dis
lance from his home to the syna-
gogue. These prayers are still a
part of the traditional liturgy.
QUESTION: Why is the altar
usually raised above the level of
the rest of the synagogue?

EAST GERMANY CANCELS
ALL LAWS ON
NATURALIZATION OF
NAZI VICTIMS

BERLIN, GTA) = The East
German Government, in the So
Wet zone of Germany, has abol-
ished all reparation and indenni-
fication laws existing in its ter
ritory, it was reported here. The
laws had been enacted by the
governments of the East German
and West German states, on the
initiative of the Allied Control
Council, in 1945.
Modification of these laws es-
pecially affects persons now re-
siding abroad who suffered ma
terial losses under the Nazi re-
gime and whose property has so
far been administered by trus-
tees.
Soviet sources said that new
laws governing the future status
of PREPARATION and indemnification
procedures have already been
drafted by the provincial govern
ments of East Germany. No in
dication of the nature of these
new laws was given.
Ernest Reuter-, Mayor of Ber-
lin, and Heinz Galinski, chairman
of the Berlin Jewish Community
Council, participated in a round
table discussion on the Israel
German PREPARATIONS negotiations.
The discussion was broadcast
over the Northwest German
Radio.

The reluctant candidate, like
Governor Stevenson, is not char
acteristic of politics. Still there
have been other examples in our
history. George Washington, the
first President of the United
States, was not very eager for the
Presidential office. When he went
to assume the office for the first
time he said that he felt like
prisoner going to his execution.
In Jewish history, we know
that Moses was a very reluctant
candidate. He pleaded with God
to give another the job Of liber-
ating the Israelites from bondage.
He was probably not 50 much
afraid Of the Egyptians, as Of the
Jews themselves.
l haven't the Bible with me as
/ write this, but it seems to me
that the prophet Samuel was a
bit reluctant about undertaking
his prophetic mission. He waited
for the third call from God before
he needed.
And the great Isaiah felt reluc-
tant and unequipped. Il am a
man of unclean lips" he said.
Also there was Jonah. When
God told him to go to Ninevah
and take the platform, what was
his reaction? He knew that as
soon as he got there, the Ninevah
Daily Star and Express and all
the politicians would smear his
name and that he might be sum-
moned before the Un-Ninevah
Activities Committee, so what did
he do? He read in the papers
that there was an excursion to
Tarshish, 50 he went down to
Joppa and bought ticket for
the cruise instead.
Like another man from Illinois
who became President-Abraham
Lincoln-Stevenson seems to
know his Bible. His acceptance
speech closed with the words of
the Hebrew prophet, "What doth
the Lord require of thee, but to
do justice, to love mercy and
walk humbly with thy Cod"
And speaking of "doing JUS
tice," the name Adlai which is
of Hebraic origin means ''just."
Another meaning of the Hebrew
word "adlai" is ornament. The
Hebrews apparently regarded the

BERLIN, Mar. 5.-The Soviet

stop electricity to two West Berlin

West Berlin buys a small amount
of its power from the East and
pays for 1t by supplying power
to a Soviet sector near Hamburg
The Eastern power company
gave no reason last night for its
decision. However, West Berlin
officials said Soviet sector people
told them the East needed the
power because Of economic diff

German officials said West Ber-
lin can provide enough power for
itself from a new plant built after

in a statement issued to the press,
"Many South Carolinians real
ize the vital Importance OF the

ture yet, there are thousands OF
citizens who do not see this terri
fving threat because they are
blinded by a temporary, false
prosperity for which the Fair

prosperity is being created artl-

of our own tax money,
To insure victory South Caro-
lima and the South must vote

MIR. Morse. ANY candidate nom
mated by the Trumanites is GER

and the leftwing schemers.
"While waiting for the S. c.

lutte essential to keep the facts
