Shed a Tear
for the Old
East Side
BY DAVID SCHWARTZ
Copyright, 1858, Jewish Telegraphic
Agency, Inc.)

The Jewish Morning Journal is
gone. A man dies. but a news
paper merges. The Morning Jour-
nal has been merged with The
Day.
For some time the entire East
Side has seemed to be in the proc
ess of merging. Like General
MacArthur's old soldier, it is fad
ing away. There is still the East
Side, of course, but the old color
full East Side, the Yiddish East
Side, of yeshivahs and Yom Kip
pur balls, of wash lines in the
street, of sweat shops, and push
carts is pretty nearly gone.
Pushcarts! Who shall sing their
story. I doubt not but that so
years hence. American historians
will fight for the opportunity TO
tell their story. It is story to
compare with the saga of the
colored wagon. It was of course
just the opposite-the uncovered
wagon--but with it. too. people
blazed the path to a new life.
What a symbol of American
opportunity was the push cart!
For five dollars one could become
a business man. A half-dozen
shirts, a dozen socks and two
pairs of mismated shoes and
push cart and you were a bud
ding Wanamaker.
You didn't even need five dol
lars. People like hot sweet pota.
toes. For seventy five cents you
could buy enough sweet potatoes
to satisfy any push cart demand
for day. Or take pickles. You
could walk up and down Fifth
Avenue and find no place to pur-
chase so savorY an article. The
push cart man had a real instinct
for what people craved. Pickles.
spices-the initial impulse for the
search which led to the discovery
Of America. The push cart ped
dler Of the East Side understood
this. On every street you could
find push carts with picked Gu
cumbers and tomatoes. And how
much capital did you need to be
a push cart merchant of pickles?
A landlord was unnecessary.
There was no roof overhead,
nothing to fence him in. In the
midst of all the congestion of the
tenement district, he lived as open
a life as the frontiersman. The
push cart man was free and indie
pendent.
The push cart era was of the
very essence of the American sYs.
tenn. Monopoly could not thrive
where it was so easy to set up
competition.
But look at the East Side today.
You have to search like an Ortho-
dox Jew looking for "chometz"
on Passover to find pushcart.
Yes, there are one or two blocks
in the area where there are push
carts, but 1 think they are holding
out just like few of the buffa-
loes in the West-not that they
really want to, but out of a sense
of patriotic duty. Today, the hot
sweet potatoes and pickles are
not so easy to get on the East
Side. Today one can get as much
pleasure living on Fifth Avenue
as on East Broadway.
Who killed the pushcart?
It is wrong to single out one
person. AS in all crimes, society |
must, in strict justice, share in the |

Probably not, since they have been

they please, with everybody's blessing.
Human beings do so want to like
children; it is severe handicap and
strain on countless elders to find some
of them impudent, as it used to be
called.
Every gain in life seems to be thrust
back with bit of loss; for every fear
removed from the child, an increment

Stop, Look and Listen

Treasury Secretary Humphrey has said
that a national sales tax of some kind is
under Study in his department. He insists
that this is only one of many possible sources
Of revenue that is being studied, and that no
decision has been made.
It would be well, however, in the course of
this study, to give serious attention to the
latest comment from Chairman Reed of the
House Ways and Means Committee. For Mr..
Reed is in position to exercise potent veto,
and he says in that grim and ominous way of
his that "a general sales tax will not be ap-
proved during the coming second session of the
S3d Congress-"
The chances are that Mr.. Reed can make
this stick, for he is chairman Of the committee
which normally must initiate tax legislation,
and he can count for support upon the
deep-seated aversion to a sales tax which poll
ticians can be expected to develop in an election
year. 1t was only after bitter fight in the
last session that the administration was able
to override Mr. Reed and secure an extension of
the excess profits taxa feat that was childS
play compared to the difficulty of getting a
sales tax through Congress. And the tone of
Mr.. Reeds sales tax comment indicates that he
has neither forgotten nor forgiven.
If a sales tax should be recommended and
Mr.. Reed should succeed in blocking it, however,
