THE WORLD OVER
By Deborah Jaffa Metz
(The News Own Columnistl

Now there is a very peculiar
thing. Once we Americans prided
ourselves on our idealism. We built
our nation on it. Our founders were
idealists, and the Declaration of
independence which they wrote was
the finest expression of their be-
liefs. Our western pioneers were
driven by their dreams, and out of
them they shaped our farthermost
frontiers. How dare we look with
scorn upon today's dreamers, the
builders Of the future?
But lest those with little faith
continue to believe that the work
of the United Nations is far-fetch-
ed and wasteful, let US take very
practical look at the whole venture.
In these days when, as Mrs.
Roosevelt says, a typhus-infected
louse can attach itself to a traveN
er's clothing in some Far Eastern
bazaar and bring typhus fever by
plane to New York in "a hours, we
have more than a sentimental in
terest in the health of people in
far-off lands.
Vaccinate babies in Europe and
our own children will have longer
life expectancy. Wipe out yellow
fever in Panama and all of North
America may be safe from the
disease.
Every hard-headed business man
will agree that illiterate, backward
nations do not provide good mark
cts for American products. Then
is it not wise to help raise the
standard of living in other countries
to increase their buying power and
improve our markets?
So far the UN long-range pro-
gram makes sense, good business
sense. And it will prove practical
in another very important way.
Wars are wasteful and cataclysmic,
and we are heartily sick of them.
Perhaps, through the United Ma
tions, we can eventually be rid of
them entirely.
UN's specialized agencies, such
as the Food and Agriculture Or
ganization, the World Health Or
ganization, the Educational, Scien-
tific and Cultural Organization and
others have already taken the first
solid steps toward improving the
health and literacy of whole ma
tions which have known nothing
but privation and ignorance for
centuries, improved the economy of
poverty-stricken peoples, lowered
their death rate and raised their
standard of living. In short, the
UN is making good neighbors of
them-neighbors with the health
and strength and know-how to get
along together.
If understanding comes, can
peace be far behind?

Time: Wrong but not Evil

In editorial recently The National jewish Post asked
provocative and disturbing question: Is Time Magazine
AntSemitic?" The Post went on to answer the question
in only slightly qualified affirmative.
The newspapers argument that Times anti-lsrae
policy has been extended far include surs he
integrity and the loyalty of the Jews of the United States
The Post took special umbrage at paragraph in recent
Time article the controversial expense fund.- of COP
Vice Presidential Nominee Richard Nixon In pointing out
that many politicians enjoy outside income, including fees
from speaking engagements, Time had this to say:
The the circuit Vice President Alben Barkey
who has for years drawn fees $1,000 for each
pearance Barkey is paid platform favorte for Israel
bond-seng drives Many Arabs think mistakenly that
this fact has had influence u S. policy in the Middle
East. But not many Arabs vote in U. S. elections"
Well concede that this has all the earmarks of nasty
crack but don't think of antSemitism
against Time That magazine and it's justly famous sister
of the Luce family-Lfe-have published far too much
material sympathetic to the Jewish people for to
them Jew-haters. We have in mind Lifes pubca

Deborah Metz line reaQS ike
the plot of a movie.
Evidently Mr.. Levin, who has
made a few films of his own, called
the turn correctly. For during the
summer Edward Dmytryk, Holly
wood director, turned up in Israel
to survey the land, and decided to
film the story in it's authentic back
ground, with Stanley Kramer as
the producer and Kirk Douglas in
the title role.
When a shortage of lighting
equipment threatened to cancel the
plan, the providential discovery of
a small portable generator in a
kibbutz made the shooting in Israel
possible after all. The day after
Yom Kippur was set as the start
ing date, and the complete Holly
wood troupe was flown to Israel by
Ell AL airlines.
The towns and villages of Israel
will have their first Hollywood
showing in this film, which should
receive an enthusiastic reception
here. And for those who like to read
the original, before or after seeing
the movie, 100000 copies of a new
pocket edition of the novel will go
on sale when the film is released.
ONE OF THE most surprising
statistics of the year was presented
by Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt in the
November issue of See magazine.
She stated that it costs each Amer
ican citizen 10 cents year to sup
port the United Nations.
Now that is what l call good,
sound investment!
For 10 cents a year we have,
through the UN's World Health Or
ganization, stamped out yellow
fever epidemic in Panama in four
short days.
For 10 cents a year we have re-
duced the malaria death rate in
Ceylon from % to 14.3 per thou
sand. y
For 10 cents year we have vac
cinated babies against tuberculosis
in Europe and assisted at child
births in the jungles of Asia.
We have doubled family incomes
in places as far apart as Greece
and Ethiopia. We have taken steps
to overcome illiteracy in South
America, in India, in many far cor
ners of the world.
There are those who look with
suspicion on an investment like
this, in spite of the small cost, be-
cause it seems idealistic and there
fore = by their logic = imprac-
tical.

has received many inquiries
about the discOntinuance of
Hirsh Kaplan's column "ROOt of

nounced in the last issue.
The explanation is simply
that Mr.. Kaplan found it nec-

cause of the pressure of his
many activities as executive di-
rector of the Jewish Community
Council. He hopes he'll be able
to resume the column in the
future.
We also have had inquiries
concerning our policy on pub
fishing letters to the editor. The
policy is this: We print all let
ters, of whatever point of view,

withheld from publication, we'll

Witnesses Hit

CHICAGO, (JTA) - A pattern
of criticism of the McCarran-W VAL
ter immigration act and of propo-
sails for constructive immigration
policies began to emerge this week
as President Truman's Commission
on immigration and Naturalization
continued to take testimony at open
hearings throughout the country
preparatory to reporting to the
President next January.
Hearings held in Cleveland, De-
troit and Chicago in general fol-
lowed the line of arguments pre-
sented in New York. The great
majority of witnesses to appear be-
fore the commission voiced sharp
criticism of existing immigration
legislation and practices.

FOIksy
Revue
'BogeIs and Yox'
Ends 3-Doy Run
Here Tonight

"Bagels and Yox." the Ameri-
can Yiddish revue which came up
from Miami last year to please
and surprise Broadway, turned up
as a Cherry Blossom weekend at
traction in Washington at Con-
stitution Hall Saturday night.
It is a gusty, lusty vaudeville
whose appeal is directed toward
those who are familiar with
Jewish folklore and Yiddish
dialect but which is not lost upon
others. In dealing with this spe-
cialized material, the revue fol-
lows the conventional formal of
such productions.
The accent of "Bagels and
Yox," as it's title implies, is on
comedy. This department is ably
handled by Lou Saxon, as master
of ceremonies. the three singing
Barton Brothers. and by Ventril-
oquist Rickie Layne and his dunn
my companion, Velvet.
Even in the talented vocal de-
partment, presided over by Bari
tone Marty Drake and Mary
Forrest. the leaning is profoundly
toward comedy and the same note
is stressed in the dancing of Kurt
ions and his company.
The third and. final performance
of "BagelS and Yox" will be, pre-
sented tonight.
