What we need in America,
then, and what Israel needs is a
better and more aggressively eff
fective Zionist Organization, es-
pecially in relation to our youth.
By educating the American Jew
ish youth and awakening in them
the ideals of their European fore
fathers we can create an Ameri-
can Jewish Youth emigration to
Israel. We can also recruit a great
many of our youth for a two year
service in Israel, a move which
would benefit both our Jewish
youth and Israel. Our Jewish
youth to get acquainted with
new and interesting life, to learn
trades and professions and Israel
to build the country with intel
ligent and cultural' help. Of
course such activity should be
voluntary, but we should foster
and encourage all movements of
this sort. We have a nucleus of
this kind already: The Masada,
Young Judea. The youths of this
organization who have visited
Israel have been universally en-
thusiastic over Israel life and we
must not think that they failed
to gain immeasureably by their
experience. They have learned to
appreciate the problems of Israel,
they have learned important arts
and trades; but most important
they have learned-and no where
else can this lesson be more ef-
fectively taught-to respect and
take infinite pride in their. birth
right of Judaism. This, then, is
our responsibility to encourage
and educate our youth to their
responsibility to our Jewish
Homeland.

Facing Up to Realities

The reorganized Board Of Education has
shown a commendable determination to face up
to the realities of the still-vexing problem of
congestion In the colored schools. The shifting
of schools from one race to another Is difficult
duty, but the shifting is necessary If the segre-
gated school system is to conform to population
trends, as 1t must. The board looked for alterna-
tives to the proposed conversion Of Eliot Junior
High School from white to Negro use, but no
satisfactory substitute was found. Under the
circumstances logic and justice supported the
move.
The change is logical and just because Eliot
has been less than half filled with white students
while there has been serious overcrowding OF
colored schools in the eastern section of the city
Even when 1000 Negro children replace the $50
white children at Eliot, there will remain this fall
an estimated surplus Of 400 Negro children in the
area. Some of this excess will be accommodated
at the new Spingarn High School when it opens
But, eventually further shifting OF schools from
white to colored pupils may be expected unless
Congress and the community are willing to build
additional classrooms for colored and ignore the
unused space in some white schools which once
were filled to capacity.

Byrd and Federal Waste

AS mother whose only child, young
lieutenant, was killed in France during
World War II, am deeply interested
and impressed by the deep concern and
thought being given our military pre-
paredness by Senator Harry F. Byrd.
This point was particularly stressed in
an address delivered by him In the
Swanson Junior High School auditorium
in Arlington on July 8.
Still ringing in the ears Of patriotic
men and women throughout our coun-
try is statement made years ago by
q great American: millions for defense
but not one cent for tribute" Senator
Byrd seems to modify and streamline
this when he cries out: Billions for the
defense Of our liberty and that Of free
men everywhere but not cent for
waste, extravaganza and unnecessary
spending" We must forgo many things
we might demand in peace and might
think necessary now If we are to remain
strong and invincible against the threats
Of one Of the most powerful military
machines in all the world. We en-
tered both World War and World War
II utterly and shamefully unprepared.
IF World War III comes America will
be struck first. We will not have Eng
land, France and Belgium to take the
brunt and hold the line until we are
ready.

Wise Counsel

The "go slow" attitude toward water
fuoridation recommended by a special House
committee makes more sense than the hasty
approach adopted in the District of Columbia.
Fluoridation was put into effect here without
giving local citizens chance to express their
views In a referendum or at public hearings.
Yet, as the committee has pointed out in
unanimous report, there is calculated risk to
the fuorine experiment that the people Of each
community ought to be consulted about.
The Special House Committee on Chemicals
in Food heard experts express conflicting views
as to the degree Of risk involved in fluoridating
water to prevent tooth decay. It concluded from
this conflict that "a sufficient number Of unan-
Swered questions concerning the safety of this
program exists as to warrant a conservative
attitude" If any mistake is to be made In
deciding these questions, the committee said,
it would be better to err on the side of caution.
Otherwise, as in the District, an entire COM
munity is forced to become a guinea pig in
testing process which is still subject Of
controversy even among the experts. As the
situation now stands, citizens Of the District.
whether they like it or not are playing such
guinea-pig role when they drink the water
provided for them In the city mains.
