NATIONAL ASSEMBLY ON
RELIGIOUS PROBLEMS OF
u. S. JEWRY PLANNED

NEW YORK, (JTA) = Tenta-
tive plans have been approved
for national assembly, under
the auspices of the Synagogue
Council of America, to assess the
basic religious needs and prob
lens of American Jewry, it was
announced here by Rabbi Nor
man Salt, president Of the Coun-
Gil.
ut is our hope that from the
deliberations of this assembly
there will emerge a comprehen-
sive analysis of the spiritual as
sets of American Jewry, upon
which it may be possible to build
a long-range program designed to
place the synagogue in the fore
front of American Jewish en-
deavor," Rabbi Salt said.
He also announced the forma-
ton of the National advisory
committee of 100 Jewish leaders
from all parts of the United
States as one phase of a major
expansion of the program of the
Synagogue Council. "The function
of the new committee will be to
assist in the formulation of plans
aimed at Strengthening the prim-
acy of the synagogue in all as
poets of Jewish life in the Uni
ted States" the announcement
said.

MUNICH, (JTA) = A total of
687 illegal residents of Fohren-
wald the last remaining camp for
displaced Jews in Germany, reg
iStered in the special census
ordered by Bavarian officials, it
was reported here last week.
Those who registered before
the deadline are men, women and
children who left Germany after
the war and have since returned
to it from Israel and other coun-
tries. Because these Jews came to
Germany a second time without
entrance visas and residence per-
mits, they have been labelled
<'illegals" by the German Off
Gals. The DPS come to Germany
in the hope of being able to emf
crate from here to the United
States, Canada or other countries
in the Western Hemisphere.
In an attempt to discourage the
return of the Jewish DPS, the
authorities have arrested some of
them and deported them. Last
week, faced with the possibility
of further arrests and expulsions,
the returnees held a sit-down
strike in the offices of the Joint
Distribution Committee until
they were promised that their
expulsion would be held up tenn
porarily.
1t is believed that the register
ed returnees will be granted legal
status. However, future "illegals"
-returnees who enter Germany
without visas and residence per-
mits-will be severely dealt with,
it is expected.
The Bavarian authorities are
constructing a police post at
Foehrenwald camp, last remain
ing camp for Jewish DPS in Ger
many and a staff of dozen or
more men will be based there. In
addition, it is reported that large
number of plainclothes men will
be assigned to the camp. The

Pretty Girl Avets
Mans Suicide Leap
ey the Associated Press

MEMPHIS, Tenn, July Ga
'lovesick" young man teetered
on a bridge ledge high above
the Mississippi River yesterday
until a pretty girl changed his
mind about death.
The girl, 22-year-old Cleo Fos-
ter. just happened on the scene.
Police were clustered about 80
feet from the man, afraid he
would jump from the 4-inch-
wide ledge if they moved closer.
Miss Foster strolled to the
mans side. She patted his shoul-
der while he poured out his
troubles.
During that curious. wind
swept talk ITO feet above the
river Miss Foster nodded sympa-
thetically at the tale of disap-
pointed love.
After half an hour. the man
said: Tell the police to go
away"
Tell you what" said Miss
Foster. you ask the police to go
away. Don't be afraid. I'll 90
with you"
So the man inched along the
narrow ledge. The girl walked
alongside the bridge rail, her
hand still on his shoulder. He
was seized by two officers when
he leaned across the railing to
talk to 1t. Bill Price. He was
held overnight in Jail without

DR.. Harry Wexler. chief of the

When man perfects the space

convinced he will one Of these

1t wouldn't take long after
that. Mr.. Wexler said, for scien-
lists to regulate the weather by
altering the content Of the at

Mr.. Wexler said that while the
earth has become 90 degrees
hotter in the winter time in the
last 60 years. the summer in

Congress Returning,
With Clash Likely on
Foreign Aid Restraint
BY J. A. O'Leory

Members of Congress returned
from the Fourth of July holiday
today and rolled up their sleeves
for an adjournment drive in
which they must agree on foreign
aid, taxes. immigration quotas
and the all-important appropri-
alton bills.
One major battle between the
two Houses over foreign aid is
expected when House and Sem
ate conferees meet tomorrow to
adjust their differences. It in
wolves the Houses attempt to
withhold 81 billion of Europe's
military aid unless a unified
army is organized on the con-
tinent.
The Senate watered the pro-
vision down by giving President
Eisenhower authority to with
hold that amount, without COM
pelling him to do so.
NACAoIuS "VH L lCIus
Representative Richards, Dem
ocrat, of South Carolina, author
of the original ban. has let it
be known he will not give in to
the Senate without a fight.
The Senate also raised the
ceiling on foreign aid to $50
billion. from the House total of
$40 billion, but Representative
VoryS, Republican, of Ohio, said
he expects no trouble in reach
ing compromise on the amount.
He pointed out that this bill is
merely the authorization, and
that the Appropriation Commit
tees will have the last say on
how much will be made avail
able.
The big job confronting House
leaders this week will be to try
to pry President Eisenhower's
six-month extension of the ex-
cess profits tax out of the Ways
and Means Committee over the
unrelenting opposition of the
Republican chairman, Represen-
tative Reed of New York.
Appropriations Get Priority.
The Senate will concentrate
for the next three weeks on
appropriation bills, which always
pass the House first.
Senator Ferguson, Republican,
of Michigan, expects to bring
from the Appropriations Com
mittee soon the Senate version
of the $344 billion defense
money bill passed by the House
last week.
The House Appropriations Com
mittee is preparing to bring out
the foreign aid money bill, with
strong indications it will be far
below the authorized total of
about $5 billion which, the two
Houses are expected to agree on
In the enabling act.

vertisement today. In it the
union gave what it said were the
real facts" about the company's
refusal to arbitrate and also
gave it's position on the pension
dispute.
Unions Position.
For over 80 years the pre-
ceding management of this COM
pany agreed to arbitrate all dis
putes. whether they were over
pensions or wages" said the
statement signed by Walter j.
Bierwagen, union president.
THE provision for arbitration in
our agreement has remained
practically unchanged over all
these years.
"Only since this new manage
ment has come in, in l949, have
these repeated attempts been
made to discard this civilized
substitute for the strike or lock-
out. in defiance of the public.
past practice. present agreement
and just plain common sense. .
Arbitration is part of the
basic law of this union, in effect
for the last half-century. This
management, newcomers to the
transit industry, must not be
permitted to turn back the clock
through that half-century."
Company Gives Its Views.
The company's position. as
stated in a letter to Mr.. Bier
wagon, is that the contract re-
quires arbitration only of griev-
ances and questions applicable
to the contract. The company
added:
However, we have been ad-
vised by counsel that a new
pension plan is not subject to
arbitration and, therefore,
we cannot agree to the arbitra-
ton you propose.
Further, in fairness to the
public, we cannot subscribe to
the theory that a third person
should decide this matter when
he will not have to cope with.

situation his decision creates"

Segregation Backed
By Negro Leader;
Others AssaiI Views
By the Asseeiatsd Press

RICHMOND, Va, July ga
Negro leaders surprising defense
of segregation today brought a
chorus of t'he's speaking only for
himself" comments from leading
Virginia Negroes.
Sidney j. Phillips, president of
the Booker T. Washington birth
place memorial in Franklin
County, said yesterday that the
Negroes economic progress was
"due in large measure, if not
practically entirely. to the pat
tern Of segregation"
The segregation system, said
Mr.. Phillips. had produced "over-
all benefit to the Negro"
Mr.. Phillips belief found quick
argument from other Negro lead
ers in the State.
Dean Thomas Henderson of
Virginia Union University in
Richmond said "the great ma
jority of Negroes" don't share
Phillips view.
Theories Called Twisted.
II think his economic and So
ciology theories are somewhat
twisted" added Mr.. Henderson
DR.. Robert Daniel, president
of Virginia State College at Pc
tersburg, declared it is always
dangerous to make generaliza-
tlons on segregation. There
are too many aspects to it,"
DR.. Daniels said there was
no doubt that American Ne
groeS have made tremendous
progress despite segregation.
But It's somewhat like tell
ing hunchback that he's max
ing out all right even though
he is deformed," he added. mo
one suggests, of course, that
the hunchback needs his de-
formity to succeed"
Statement Called Foolish
Two Richmond Negro attor-
neyS who have spearheaded the
fight. to eliminate segregation
in Wirginia's schools called Mr..
Phillips statement foolish"
and "fallacious."
IF I understand him corr
rectly," said Martin A. Martin,
then Mr.. Phillips must be
ignorant of the sociological and
economic desires of the Negro.
"All of us know as long as
we have segregation we won't
have equality. He's certainly
alone in his stand, which !
regard as foolish"
| Oliver Hill, like Mr.. Martin
an attorney for the National
Association for the Advance
ment of Colored people, labeled
Mr.. Phillips argument "fallaci-
GUS in that it doesn't meet the
issue" He explained the "is-
sue" this way:
Negroes are not so concerned
with the progress they've made
as with desire for development
of opportunities for all people
to live in a complete freedom ir
a God-given world"
Mr.. Phillips made his remarks
in connection with the dedica-
ton of a road in Franklin ano
Bedford counties to be known
as the Booker T. Washington
