Partition of Germany

THE continued partition of Germany
is a scandal. It is more than that. 1t
is a crime" said Secretary Dulles and
most people will agree.
What I now would like to know is:
Was not the original division into more
parts than Gaul also crime? al
ways have wondered, unless the purpose
was to create such an utter confusion
in Germany that she would hardly be
able to coordinate her policies and econ
omy, how the original division could
have been thought of or brought about
in any way justiflably. wish you would
enlighten the public on this ancient
practice and as to those who thought
it out. In other words. who is re-
sponsible for placing Germany under
two types of socialism. one communism
and one under a So-called democracy.
which is really republic? If we had
been the loser, and had had the same
division and the eight-year occupation.
/ wonder what would have been our
feelings.
This naturally leads to the question:
Are we going to insist that the undeni-
able aggreSSor in the Korean war be
punished? II not. how can we justify
the shooting up of a considerable part
of Europe and most of Germany after
it was obvious that the war could be
ended by our calling for 1t, or agreeing
to it, and placing ourselves in the posi-
ton of having to Jump every time the
Reds pulled the string?

Tux Delinquents

School is starting and I was busy
sharpening up my arithmetic in order tc
keep abreast of my and IL year olds,
when my eye was attracted by Robert
K. Walsh's article on the house-to-
house canvass in New England for tax
dodgers.
In column one appeared disgusting
! figures indicating that 1,150 out of
5000 taxpayers were delinquent in their
payments. Applying my recently re-
freshened arithmetic I calculated that
those figures showed IA per cent of
those canvassed to be delinquent. At
the bottom of column two, however,
Commissioner Andrews is quoted as
emphasizing that he is convinced that
only per cent get away without pay
ing their share of taxes. There appears
to be discrepancy in these figures
somewhere. to put it mildly!

The Palestine Cancellation Commission

Cancellation Commission can take no initiative,
and, if one pays any attention to it, then the men,
bers sit in the cool of their air-conditioned office
and twiddle their thumbs There was time when
the P. C. c. did take the initiative, when it at
tempted to bring the parties together at confer
ences but these efforts were such failures that
in orderato maintain its diplomatic dignity it had
to take the pledge of mo initiative"
Strangely enough, or perhaps not so strangely,
the Arabs who insisted on maintaining the Pales-
tine Cancellation Commission, have been its worst
enemies (hey turned its last effort to find peace
settlement in Paris into farce by refusing to sit
down at the conference table,, whereas the Is
raelis, who have long considered it unnecessary,
have been its best friends. They approached it
with regard to the blocked accounts while the
Arabs have never been near it.
Even though the Arabs wanted to keep the
Commission for their own propaganda purposes
they would not have been successful if it had
not been for the support of others. For senti
mental reason, delegates are loath to do away
with commissions no matter how useless they
have become
Most of them agree with the Israeli contention
that peace settlement can only be achieved by
direct negotiations and that therefore there is
need for the Palestine Cancellation Commission
especially since it has taken the mo initiative"
pledge Yet, they keep it going until its meetings
have become ritual without meaning

TEL AVN, (JTA) - A second
Israel Air Force plane crashed off
the coast of Haifa recently while
searching for the pilot and navi-
gator of a two-engine Mosquito
plane reported missing. Wreck
age from the second crash, seen
by crowds along Haifa's shore

A wheel from the first plane
was found in the sea off Ras ell

UNITED NATIONS


UNITED NATIONS
Aside from the release of the blocked Arab
accounts by Israeli it is difficult to know what
other progress the Palestine Cancellation Com
mission can report. Yet, the last meeting of this
body, of which we have any knowledge Ghe
p c. c. always meets behind closed doors was
to draw up progress report"
The release of the blocked Arab accounts hard
ly rebounds to the credit of this commission; the
P. c. c. merely acted as a clearing house, func-
ton which could have been performed by almost
any diplomatic third party. By no stretch of the
imagination can this be considered fulfillment of
its purpose, namely to bring about peace in Pales
tine; although much will be made of it.
All the disturbing events in Palestine, the
pitched battles on the Israeli-Jordan border, the
murders and depredations of Arab inflltrators,
pass unnoticed while the Palestine Cancellation
Commission meets, when it does as it did recently
to draw up its progress report" in ar-condi-
toned office in New York. Even the agreements,
such as the one signed recently between Israel
and Egypt the release of non-military vessels
of either country entering the territorial waters
of the other, made without any reference to
the American, French and Turkish gentlemen who
make up the Commission.
The fact of the matter is that the Palestine

PLAIN TALK
A CASE OF MIXED
MARRIAGE
BY ALFRED SEGAL

The Jewish community of our
town is being stirred up more or
less by certain case of intermar-
rage. Not that intermarriage is
anything new in our community
in the recent years. It has been
happening among the children Of
some Of our most Orthodox peo-
pie.
Indeed, intermarriage in our
Orthodox circles is much more
frequent than ever it was among
the Reformers. The Reformers
generally have married within
their own religious circle.
But this particular intermar-
rage was somehow a bit different
you might say! The officiating
clergYmen were an evangelical
minister and one of our Reform
rabbis.
The Jewish boy and Christian
girl had agreed that in the cere-
mony of their marriage the re-
ligions of both of them would
be respected. In Difference to the
religion of her fathers the girl
desired that the minister of her
church officiate; the Jewish boy
was willing if at the Christian
minister's side stood his rabbi,
joining in the service.
And that's the way it was: The
Christian minister and the rabbi
served together at this marriage
altar. The Christian was meticul-
Gus not to bring up any sugges-
ton Of Christian theology. such
as the name of Jesus. in his mar
rage rite.
If it hadn't been for the pro-
test of one of our more Orthodox
rabbis the event would have
been quickly forgotten, if indeed,
it was noticed by many. Some
people who were aware of it
thought of it as one of the rarer
manifestations of the brotherhood
of man. These, of course, are the
kind of people who hope for a
time when all the religious affairs
will be one for the one God.
The Orthodox rabbi didn't like
any Of this at all and he issued
a public letter in which he prac-
ticallY suggested in the excom-
munication from the communitY's
favor Of the Anglo-Jewish news
paper that printed the news Of
this wedding together with a pic
ture of the bride.
That is to say, he called on
B'nai Birth and the Jewish Com
munity Center to expel this news
paper from their patronage. B'nai
Birth and the Community Center
get the bulletins of their activities
and program printed in this
paper. The rabbi summoned all
local Jewry to a mass meeting of
protest and action. He dismissed
with a brush-off the Reform rab-
hi who had participated in the
service of this marriage -. "Such
'rabbis' Eyes, he wrote rabbis in
quotes), 'such 'rabbis' we may
regard as ministers of another
religion"
So our much divided commu-
nifty now has something new to

Membership of the committee
will be announced next week.
The Executive order said a re-
view of the situation had shown
that the anti-discrimination pro-
gram relating to Federal contract
work must be revised and
strengthened for better results.
The President emphasized that
it is the policy of the government
ITO promote equal employment
opportunity for all qualified per-
sons employed or seeking employ
ment on government contracts
because such persons are entitled
to fair and equitable treatment
in all aspects of employment
work paid for from public funds"
The President said in the order
that after analysing the proce-
dures of Government contracting
agencies it had been found that
"the non-discrimination provi-
sionS must be revised and Streng-
thened to eliminate diScrimina-
ton in all aspects of employ
ment."
The head of each contracting
agency will be held primarily
responsible" for obtaining COM
pliance by contractors and sub
contractors with the non-discriIn-
ination provisions.
The new committee will be re-
quired to make annual or semi
annual reports to the President,
and to carry on an educational
program against discrimination
in employment among employer,
labor, civic, educational, religious
and other voluntary non-govern-
mental groups.

ence between the new committee
and a Truman-created committee
for the same function was the
addition of the public members.
The Presidents order abolished
the old committee at the same
time as it created the new one.
Mr.. Hagerty said the new COM
mittee was formed ITO expand the

CI0 Urges BrowneH
To Push Civil Rights
Violations Probe
By the Assoeia,ed Press

The CIO today urged the Justice
Department to continue to in
veStigate alleged violations of
United States civil rights laws
despite recent complaints by
certain State Governors that the
FBI's activities are an invasion
of States rights"
CIO General Counsel Arthur
j. Goldberg said in letter to
Attorney General Brownell that
Gov. Fine of Pennsylvania and
Gov. Battle of Virginia reported
ly took occasion at the recent
Governors Conference in Seattle
to condemn the FBI for investi-
eating claims that constitutional
rights had been violated by State
officials"
Mr.. Goldberg said the two
Governors do not seem to rec
ognize that the Civil Rights Acts,
which have been on the statute
books for almost three-quarters
of a century, affirmatively place
on the Federal Government the
responsibility for implementing,
specifically as against State and
local officials, the constitutional
guarantees set forth in the 18th,
14th and 18th Amendments.
The CIO official went on to
say:
by asking that the FBI cease
its Investigations of State and
local officials charged with vio-
lating these constitutional pro-
visions, these Governors are, in
effect, urging that the Justice
Department should, by non-en-
forcement, destroy parts of our
Constitution and the legislation
designed to implement it."
