IN MEMORY

In loving memory of our moth
,r.a Mrs. Victoria Supryk, who
passed away one year ago, April
q, 1852.
It never can be home again,
Walls, ceiling, windows, floor,
Without your smiling presence
there
Beside the open door
You've waited there to well
come us
So many times, but then
II never can be really home,
Without you there, again.
It's mothers faith that builds
the shrine,
Transforming wood and stone
Into the earthly place divine
We love to call our home.
Endearing charms of mother
tWine
Increasingly with care.
About this place of yours and
mine
, To make us glad we're there.
A mother is the greatest gift
That Heaven sends to earth,
Not else upon this mortal
sphere
Compares to her in worth.
The angel of our early years,
And guide upon life's way,
The light inspiring thru our
tears
When she has crossed the way.
= To meet you in that Morning
Fair
Upon that Cloudless Day.
Dear Mother, here will be our
prayer
To Him Across the Way,
That he who leads you thru
this dark .ss
Will lead us There, and then
| know that There, when we
embark.
It will be Home, again.

Sen. Irving M. Ives, a New
York Republican, made passion
ate condemnation of Soviet action
against Jews. He suggested that
a proposed Senate protest resolu-
ton be amended so that our
government will be urged to
bring this situation to the atten-
ton of the United Nations for
appropriate action" Ives pointed
out that sit should be handled
through the fundamentally of
the United Nations and not by
direct contact between our gov
eminent and the government of
Soviet Russia" But w h a Ives
forgot was that he is one of the
81 signers of the Bricker Resolu-
ton. This is the resolution that
Sen. Bricker said was designed to
prevent Senate ratification of
such u. N. pacts as the Genocide
and Human Rights Conventions.
The reason Ives wanted the
matter pursued through the U. N.
may have been that he felt So
Wet anti -Semitism world prob
lem and thought an American
Government protest would do
more harm than good. Such a
unilateral American protest might
be exploited by Communist prop
uganda which alleges that the U.
S. is allied with Israel in a con-
spiracY against the Cominform.
Ironically. however. the U. N. &C.
ton Ives sought was prevented

Purim is a Diaspora festival. It is the only
occasion in the Jewish calendar that commend
rates an event that occurred outside Of Palestine,
and therein lies its greatest popular appeal to the
Jews the world over For Purim is symbolic OF
Jewish life in the Galut. Hannah is the prototype
of the arch enemy of Israel; Mordecai and Esther
of the heroic spirits, men and women waging the
battle for survival.
Our Rabbis sensed the eternal significance OF
the day when they said that eff all the festi-
walls cease, Purim shall continue" For they were
realists, and knew, that long as the Jews lived
in the Diaspora, so long will he have to reckon
with Hamanism, with prejudice and hatred and
bigotry, and so long will he heed the tonic effect
of this ancient tale, attesting to the peoples de-
liverance, breathing spirit of hope and courage
that has marked us as deathless people.
Thus Purim deals with perennial problem.
It's story is the story of Israel among the nations
the story of his struggles, of his suferngs of his
dangers; but it is also the story of his faith and
hope, of his ultimate triumph over those who set
themselves up against him.
The tale is familiar. It's source is the Book of
Esther, and there we read of Hannah who rose
to power under King Ahasuerus and persuaded
that monarch to destroy all the Jews in his domin-
ions. Lots were cast to decide the day of this
wholesale determination. It is this casting of
lots that gave the name to the festival for the

THE STORY DE PURIM
BY Rabbi Henry Fisher

Bible tells us that Purim meant "lots." But Hannah
reckoned without Mordecai and Esther. The latter
had become Queen to Ahasuerus, and the former
gained royal favor by saving the Kings life. And
through the intercession of Esther, Humans de-
signs were thwarted, and he fell victim to his
plotting. Thus the Jews were delivered from the
hands of the foe and the day Of their deliverance
became the occasion of great rejoicing Its OBJ
servance was ordained for all Israel and for all
times, and ever since, Purim has always occupied
permanent place in the calendar of Jewish festi-
walls, marked by fourfold observance of the day:
SERVICE charity, exchange of gifts and revelry.
The religious service actually begins on the
preceding Sabbath when anticipate the festi
val by recalling the Amalek of the Bible who was
the progenitor of Hannah, and of Saul who was
the ancestor of Mordecai It is continued with the
EAST of Esther on the day prior to Purm,
memorating Esther's fasting in preparation for her
appeal to the King. And on the eve of the 18th of
Adar, as well as the next morning. the Book of
Esther is read in the Synagogue
The story is read, with special chant, from
"Megillah" or scroll. The Megllah is folded to
resemble letter. for is in that form that Esther
broadcast the eventful occurrences. While it is
usually read in Hebrew, >the Talmud permits it to
be read in the vernacular, that its contents
should be understood. The duty to hear the Megil-
lab is incumbent upon all Israelites.

GERMAN SHIPOWNERS

SHIPS

BONN, (JTA) = German ship
owners protested last week to the
West German Government against
it's announced decision not to ship
PREPARATIONS goods to Israel in
German bottoms because of the
possibility of anti-German demon
STATIONS in Israel ports. The ship
owners, who favor payments of
Preparations, nevertheless oppose
ratification of the Bonn-Israel
agreement unless it is made con-
ditional on the employment of
German shipping in the deliver
les.
Highly placed sources close to
the Bonn Government reiterated
last week their assurances that
the PREPARATIONS agreement would
be ratified by the German Parlia-
ment by the end of next month,
and that the provisions of the
treaty would be supplemented
starting at that time.

Because of Hitler'S anti-JeWiSh
program, the U. N. enacted the
genocide pact as a safeguard
against any repetition of the mass
destruction of religious or ethnic
groups. The U. S. recommended
at the U. N. that the pact be
adopted because the U. S. was
mindful of what might be ex-
pected from the Soviet Union.
The pact was subject to ratifica-
ton by individual U. N. mem
bers. The U. S. Senate, however,
refused to ratify it. The pact was
ratified by Czechoslovakia with
reservations regarding articles
Nine and Twelve. Czechosloval1ia
is a contracting party therefore
and we are not.
Since the U. S. is not a con-
tracting party we are not quail
fled under the pact TO call on the
U. N. to take action governed by
the U. N. Charter for the proven
ton or suppression of genocide or
related acts. The pact not only
covers the actual determination
of group but also guards against
anti Semitic Indictment and con-
spiracY to commit genocide.
Last May the Under Secretary
of State, David K. Bruce, told a
Senate subcommittee that enact
ment of the Bricker Resolution
would jeopardize the influence
of the United States in the world
today" Bruce said, Il believe that
if the government were prohibit
ed from entering into any such
treaties, we m u st reckon with
the obvious fact that the United
States would have lost its stand
ing in the forum of world politics
to attack the despotism of the
.Kremlin.
Rabbi Irving Miller. president
of the Zionist Organization Of
America. suggested at a protest
meeting in New York that the
American delegates at the Uni
ted Nations would do well to con-
slider whether Russia and its sat-
elites are not laying themselves
open to the charge of genocide."
if the American delegates con-
cluded that a charge of genocide
was justified they would be in no
position to lodge such a charge.
Apparently. the fight against
genocide must first be won in
the U. S. Senate before il can be
pursued by America through the
U. N. against the Soviet Union.
Sen. Robert A. Taft, Republi-
can policy leader in the Senate,
signed the Bricker Resolution. 1t
is difficult to envision Republican
effort against the party'S own
resolution.

PLAIN TALK

By Alfred Segal

6GG6sN IN 166NS
I remember l3 years ago this
month. February a. ls40. that
Is. In this column ! was celebrat.
ing a genealogical fact Of my life:
I had become a grandfather for
the first time.
One who writes a Jewish col
lum finds himself snatching all
most at anything to make a Jew
ish subject of it; like the we'll
known character who upon being
asked to write a treatise on the
elephant wrote on "The Elephant
and the Jewish Problem"
So that day I made a Jewish
crisis out Of the fact that I had
just become a grandfather. I pick
ed at it from all the Jewish
angles. And in all the years since
I have Brought the matter up
from time TO time TO report the
Jewish progress of Ellen. my first
grandchild.
My biographical reports on her
caused her to become one of the
better known girls in our COM
munity and ladies stop me on the
street to inquire how she is get
ting along.
In the recent years I have kept
her more under wraps. you might
say. on account of her mother.
Her mother said Ellen had grown
old enough TO read the pieces I
wrote about her and that her ego
might suffer by too much of that.
But this February, Ellen comes
to a notable elevation which !,
in Difference to a fact Of history,
may not ignore. She has arrived
at her teens-an age which in our
tradition is esteemed as a door
opening into Jewish life and, in
these times, also is a troubled
problem of parents, teachers and
psychologists. So guess it's a
timely and significant moment to
bring Ellen back to this column
for a day.
know she will take this pub
icitY in the humble stride of a
sensible girl who knows that her
grandpa has a column to write
every week: 10 which end she
has been a big help in many a
column through her l3 years.
I have just looked up the piece
I wrote about her in introduction.
I was standing at the big show
window in the hospital at which
newborn infants are exhibited to
the proud grandparents. I con-
templated my status as a patri-
arch: I was a continuation of
Abraham to whom it was said in
Scripture: 81 will make of thee a
great nation and I will bless thee
and make thy name great, and
be thou blessing"
AS grandpa. in succession Of
Abraham. I couldn't join with
him toward making a great name
in a Jewish nation. as il had been
said TO Abraham. II would be

Steel attributed much of the

Many economists, Steel noted,
agree that industrial production

more than 5 per cent below

During last week, the steel
production rate dropped two
points to 905 per cent of rated

dicate that only 9.5 per cent of
