When a girl reaches marriage
able age and nothing happens,
she is likely to wonder why. If
she not only has ripened but also
is in danger of whitening on the
vine, her wonder may well turn
to a sort of panic. More than a
million and a half women in this
country are married every year,
but there always are many who
are willing with no men to claim
them. Why?
Well, study Of this subject has
revealed that while many OBJ
viously undesirable women find
husbands, to the mild astonish-
ment of all who know them. the
majority of brides fall roughly
into a pattern. This pattern
represents, equally roughly, what
men look for IN a wife. Julianne
is trying to fathom this because
shes been passed by, or thinks
she has, and it's becoming an
obsession with her.

on this subject. All other factors

Ponger continued, authorities
said they had picked up most Of
the principals they sought.
Events Move Too Fast.
The Federal Bureau of Inves-
tigation and Army agents have
worked on the case since 1949,
but once the alleged plot became
public. events apparently moved
too fast for Verber and Ponger
to comprehend.
They appeared before Judge
Holtzoff today still wearing over
coats that they had brought
from Austria.
Ponger clicked his heels smart
ly and bowed stif11y to Judge
Holtzoff. He spoke with a heavy
accent. Ponger. under question:
ing of Judge Holtzod, said he
did not have a lawyer, but was
thinking of contracting two Amer
1can attorneys he had known at
the war crimes trials in Nuern-
berg, Germany.
Verber said he had put in a
request that a lawyer I intend
to have be notified"

assistant to the Attorney Gen.

the indictment charging that
they obtained military secrets
with the intention of using them
to harm the United States.
Maximum Is 20 Years.
Mr.. Waterman told a reporter
that this act committed in
peacetime carried a maximum
penalty of 20 years imprison-
ment.
The defendants appeared more
composed today than when they
arrived at National Airport in
a special military plane at
1857 am.
After facing a battery of re-
porters and cameramen, they
were hustled, in separate cars
and under heavy guard, by FBI
agents to the building of the
U. S. District Court for the
District of Columbia.
Commissioner Lawrence had
stood by, beginning at midnight,
he said. Immediately before the
hearing. sharp words were heard
in his Office, where FBI men had
gone, becaues of the delay in
CURED in fingerprinting Verber
and Ponger and attending to
other formalities.
This whole thing (the finger
printing beforehand) is a tech

Lawrence contended.
The Government contends the
arrest of the two men in Aus
tria cracked open an interna-
tional plot. which officials
described as being under the di-
rection Of Mr.. Novikov. This
explained why at least a dozen
FBI special agents boarded the
plane at MATS Terminal on its
arrival.
They stayed aboard for IS

Danger Seen
For Jeqvs Of
East Europe

NEW YORK, (JTA)-Anti-Zion-
ist prosecutions in the various
countries of eastern Europe are
practically anti-Semitic" and vio-
late human rights, three-member
commission of the International
Federation for Human Rights re-
ported in Berlin this week.
The commission declared that
Jews in the eastern European coun-
tries are in danger of arrest and
are subject to various economic dis
ordinations.
The commission is submitting a
report on the Jewish refugee stu
alton to the United Nations, it was
announced.
Meanwhile, as a group of out
standing American medical men
and scientists called on the United
Nations to establish an interna-
tional commission to examine the
Communist charge of a Jewish
plot" against the nine accused Mos
cow doctors, Coda Myerson, Is
rael's minister of labor and tempor-
ary head of the Israel delegation to
the United Nations, announced that
Israel will appeal to all countries
of the world to permit Jewish mi
grafton to Israel.
Exit Plea Due
The Jewish state, she said, would
ask those countries where Jews are
now in danger, for a change of
policy toward the Jews and to per-
nit them to leave for Israel. Mrs.
Myerson said that all delegations
approached at the United Nations
on the issue of the Communist anti
Jewish drive shave shown a salts
factory response and an encourag-
ing attitude"
The plea for U.N. investigation
of the Moscow charges against the
doctors was contained in a petition
submitted to U.N. Secretary Cen
eral Trygve Lie by DR.. Bella Shick,
discoverer of the Schick Test, and
DR.. Paul Klemperer, pathologist.

West Germany
RatifieS Israel
Reparati0n Pact

BONN, Germany, (JTA) = The
West German Republic last week
ratified the Luxembourg agreement
with Israel whereby West Germany
will pay restitution to the Jewish
state and to the Jewish people to
the extent of $822,OO0,OOO over the
next 10 years.
The agreement, virtually unpre-
cedented in history, was signed by
President Theodor Heuss immedi-
ately after the Federal Council, the
Upper House of Parliament, gave
the measure unanimous final pass
age. This followed it's passage in
the Bundestag, the Lower House,
earlier in the week, by a vote of
238 to "a, with Sc abstentions.
The agreement must now be rati-
fled by the Israel parliament, after
which the instruments of agree
ment will be exchanged in the office
of the secretary-general of the
United Nations.
Opposition Licked
Ratification of the agreement
came speedily after months of delay
during which powerful opposition
was manifested by neo-Nazi ele-
ments and by German industrialists
fearful that an agreement with Is
rael would antagonize the Arab
states and jeopardize West Ger
many's growing markets in the
Middle East.
The Arab states themselves, no
tably Egypt, exerted powerful pres
sure in an attempt either to block
German ratification of the pact or
to condition ratification on major
financial and economic concessions
to the Arab States.
Speaking after the Bundestag
vote, Chancellor Konrad Adenauer
said the action had far-reaching
significance. He predicted that ap-
proval of the agreement would
greatly enhance the prestige of
Germany which, he said, had great
ly suffered from the Nazi crimes
against the Jewish people.
Boon for Israel
The German action was welcomed
by DIR. Nahum Goldman, president
of the Conference on Jewish Ma
terial Claims Against Germany and
architect of the Luxembourg agree
ments.
DIR. Goldman, who said that the
German action is to be "heartily
welcomed" and called it justifica-
tion of faith in their sincerity.

The cards will be re-routed and
reasgigned for coverage Sunday.
The drive so far has brought in
about $4,000 in cash and pledges,
with about $4,000 still outstand-
ing in terms of 1852 giving, ac-
cording to Hirsh Kaplan, executive
director.
Nation Wide Rally
Sundays drive is being keyed to
nationwide mobilization of We'll
fare Funds spurred by the recent
outbreak of Russian anti-Stmitism.
Cash is desperately needed by the
United Jewish Appeal for use by
one of its subsidiary agencies, the
Joint Distribution Committee,
which is hard-pressed to care for
thousands of refugees streaming
through the Iron Curtain in flight
from Soviet persecution.
Rallies will be held Sunday in
principal cities throughout the
country, as part of UJA's National
Freedom Mobilization, to voice
American Jewry's concern for the
safety of Eastern Europe's more
than 100000 Jews.
Besides focusing attention on
UJA's need for money to aid Rus
sian refugees, the mobilization
will point up the urgency of
strengthening the people of Israel
who have already offered sanctu-
ary to all who flee from Soviet
oppression.
Needs $145 Million
The UJA this year requires close
to $145, 100000 with which to meet
urgent rescue, settlement, welfare
and rehabilitation needs in West
Berlin, other parts of free Europe,
Israel, Moslem countries and the
U. S.

In Phoenix, as all over the world,
Jews will celebrate the emancipa-
tion of our forbears from Egyp-
tian slavery.
Historically this is the oldest OBJ
servance on the Jewish calendar,
for it was first celebrated at the
very moment when the Israelites
were led out of bondage under
Moses $500 years ago in the desert
of Sinai.
Synagogue Rites Set
Two Phoenix synagogues-Con-
gregation Beth Ell and Temple Beth
Israel u plan special observances.
Beth Ell will hold children's Seder
starting at 10 am. Sunday for
students of the religious school.
The dinner will be free for them,
but a charge of 81 will be made for
those not enrolled in the school.
The temple also plans a chill
dren's Seder Sunday.
Monday night the temple will
hold its regular Seder for members
and their friends at $50 pm. Res
ervations may be made at the
temple office. Passover services
will be held in the temple sanctu-
ary at 10:30 am. Tuesday, March
81, and Yizkor (memorial) serv-
ices are scheduled at 10:30 am.
Monday, April 6.
Rituals in Many Homes
Throughout the city Monday
evening hundreds of Seders will be
held in Jewish homes, with parents
telling their children the meaning
of the holiday and the story of the
passing over" of the Jews from
captivity into freedom.
Special foods are served at the
Seder supper, foremost of which is
the matZo, or unleavened bread.
This represents the scanty rations
which the Israelites prepared in
their haste to leave the land of
oppression; they could not wait for
fermentation to take place in the
dough. The Maror, or bitter herbs,
symbolic the bitterness of servi-
tude. The parsley is a reminder
that in ancient days Passover was
the holiday which marked the ar
rival of Spring.
At the meal the youngest child
asks the traditional "four ques-
tions" about the significance of the
festival and the special foods being
eaten.

At all Passover gatherings, spe-
cial holiday songs are sung in
