hat and black tie at the club

stepped up to each car to receive
a bundle Of clothes for Korean
relief, then deposited each In the

ceive the. clothes on behalf of the
destitute Of their country and to
stand in the receiving line with
members of the Black Tie Com
mittee. Mrs. Oscar Chapman,
wife. Of the Secretary OF the In
terror, and chairman of the Wash

Criteriu For
Definition Of
A Jewish Book
BY DIR. SOL LIPTZIN

What are Jewish books? Are
all books written by Jews Jewish
books? Is any book dealing with
a Jewish topic or centering about
a Jewish character a Jewish
book? Can a Jewish book be writ
ten by a non-JeW?
These questions are asked most
frequently during Jewish Book
Month, whose observance has
spread from simple beginnings in
New York and Boston a decade
ago until it now spans the CONT
nent and is reaching out to for
eign countries.
The answers have varied wide
ly. In Nazi-Germany it was as
sumed that any book written by
a Jew on any subject whatsoever
was infected with mOrbuS judah
Gus. Hence, a publication by Al
bert Einstein on physics, or by
Franz Boas on anthropology, or
by Henri Bergson on philosophy
was regarded as Jewish because
of the ethnic origin of the author.
To ferret out and to quarantine
such infected books, elaborate re-
searches into the ancestry of all
writers were undertaken and car
ried out with great thoroughness.
An Extreme View
This extreme view has never
been entertained seriously by
competent scholars in the Eng
disappearing world. But there is
another definition of a Jewish
book, which is no less extreme
and which does find many adher-
ents in this country, definition
that would deny to non-JewS the
possibility of writing a Jewish
book. This definition was offered
by Ludwig Lewisohn in his pro-
vocative volume The Answer,
published in 1889.
"a Jewish book is a book by a
Jew who knows that his ultimate
self is Jewish and that his creativ-
ity and that deepest self are one.
He need not know or express or
define that conceptually. Feeling,
hint, presage at highest moments
The Arizona post., 1952-12-19

will suffice. Jewish literature
consists of those books, written in
whatever age or tongue, whose
authors knew that they were no
mines judaici, and who in the
great old phrase of Sir Philip Sid
ney looked into their hearts to
write"
This definition transports us in
to mystic realms of the subcon-
scious and makes the subjective
Judgment of the author the basic
criterion. It excludes all works
on Jewish life written by non
Jews, despite that fact that some
of these works have exercised
great influence upon the Jews
themselves and have been accep-
ted both by Jews and non-Jews as
offering profound insights into
the Jewish soul. Hence his def
milton is inadequate.
A book written by a non-Jew
may be Jewish book while many
book whose author is of Jewish
origin cannot lay claim to this
designation.
Perhaps Jewish books may best
be defined as books which EN-
body Jewish wisdom of the past

JAYWALKING
DRIVE STARTS

A dozen Boy Scouts roamed the
streets of Phoenix Saturday, keep
ing a sharp eye on jaywalkers.
Each citizen caught in the act of
taking shortcut was handed a
card which read: II am a jayWalk-
er." The card carried the nota-
ton that if tn eperson was in
jured or killed, he should be sent
to one of the five hospitals. or to
the morgue. Space was provided
for writing the name and address
of persons to be notified. The cam
psign was started by the Police
Department in an effort to reduce
the pedestrian deaths. From the
beginning of 1948 to date II per-
sons have been killed on city streets
in traffic accidents. Of the total,
81 were pedestrians and 40 were
motorists or passengers in cars: The
Boy Scouts plan to patrol the
streets for jaywalkers every Thurs
day and Saturday for the next
few months.

FLY CONTROL
MAKES PROGRESS

Cooperation of the Health Di-
rector and the staff of the Phoe-
nix Public eHalth Department has
been an important contributing
factor in the success of the Fed
eral Fly Control Project which is
being conducted in Phoenix. This
is the opinion of the U. S. Public
Health Service in it's activities re-
port on the Fly Control Project.
The report points out that the
eTIalth Director was in full SYM
pathy with the aims of the project
and gave aggressive leadership in
convincing municipal authorities
that greater support of an i'm
proved sanitation program was es-
sential to it's success" The report
also commended the Public Works
department in the establishment

use of new barbage Eollection
equipment. encouraging the use of
proper garbage containers and bet
ter garbage collection service, all
important in the fly control pro-
gram. The present temporary in
crease in fly count is due to recent
rains, but fly control officials point
out that because of the effective
control work of the past, the fly
count has been held far below that
experienced in the years before fly
control.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. ~~~~~.~~~~~~~~~.~SSes
reporters themselves often are
forced to compromise.
AS 1 have said, it was Stevenson
from the word "go." Since Truman
had fallen into bad favor with
many of his own party his aides
wanted to have the choice paWned
off as an honest draft. To the
naked eye, it did have the appear
ance of draft, but even a casual
observer could see executed one of
the neateSt operations ever to take
place in political campaign.
Now since Mr.. Truman, or his
lieutenants, had control of the con-
vention from beginning to end, the
action of the co-called young Turks
notwithstanding, the tering
down of the Civil Rights plank
from its 194S level after previous
administration stand, is nothing
less than a double-croSs of the
Negro voters who have blindly sup
ported the Democratic Party for
nearly 20 years; and if the selection
of Senator John Sparkman as the
Vice Presidential candidate with
his Dixiecrat connections and vot-
ing record on Civil Rights legisla-
ton, isn't a compromise, then Web
ster will have to come up with
another definition of the word.
Also, it would seem that Burton,
little fellow caught in the middle
of terrific political struggle be-
tween the most powerful forces in
the party, who worked out of a
most difficult situation as best he
could in trying to serve what he
thought was his and the best in
terest of the Negro and the Re-
publican Party. should be shown
some mitigation. But when the
most powerful force in the Demo-
cratic Party, or perhaps in the
world, throws it's weight around
to choke off all opposition after
giving assurance of an open con-
vention, and when that same force
Grams Dixiecrat down the threats
of Northern liberals. including mi-
norities, the puny actions of Harold
Burton sink into almost nothing
ness. Talk about double-cross and
compromise-the Democratic tic
ket of Stevenson and Sparkman,
Dixiecrat, shows the Party has
been guilty of duplicity all along
when it sought to disavoW the
Dixiecrats.
1t will be interesting to see how
the Negro Democrats and their
felloW-travelers will explain this
away. Certainly they can no long
er continue the prattle about Re-
publican and Dixiecrat alliance.
