GERMANY CUTS RED TAPE
IN PREPARATIONS PAYMENTS
TO ISRAEL

TEL AVN, (JTA) = The i'm
fermentation of the West Ger
man-Israel PREPARATIONS pact is
being carried out in an "abso-
lutely satisfactory" manner, DR..
George Josephthal, head of the
Israel corporation charged with
handling the goods assigned to
the Jewish State in payment of
PREPARATIONS, declared here last
week.
DR.. Josephthal, who has just
returned from European trip
including a visit to Germany,
said that German officials were
cutting down red tape all along
the line and have cooperated in
several other ways. Among these,
he pointed out, has been a ten
dency to approve the purchase
of goods needed by Israel which
were not included ON the ap-
proved list of PREPARATIONS items.
Also, he said, the Germans have
approved the purchase by Israel
of goods from other countries in
which Germany has blocked cred
its. This has permitted Israel to
obtain such goods as wood, cot
ton, rubber and hides.

Yet, I said to my Orthodox
friend, you and I must agree that
there is a better chance for
mixed marriage being successful
where each of the couple respects
the others religion from the be-
ginning, as in this particular case.
In their marriage ceremony each
was willing to defer equally to
the others religion. That's re-
spect; it augurs for happy mar
riage. Let's be thankful for that.
And. sir. isn't that the main
ingredient of happy marriage?
Respect! There can't be any holi-

marriage where respect is lack

it falls into a stretch of lifelong
misery. Let's you and I hope for

ADMISSION OF $4,000 JEWS

YEARS IS EXPECTED

PARIS, (JTA) = About $4,000
Jewish refugees will be eligible
to enter the United States within
the next three years under the
E emergency immigration Bill
signed recently by President
Eisenhower which authorizes the
admission of 214,O00 immigrants
from Europe above existing i'm
migration quota.
This estimate was given here
by Arthur Greenleigh, executive
director of the United Service for
New Americans, which aids Jew
ish immigrants in the United
States. He did not indicate on
what his estimate was based.
Charles Jordan, assistant Euro
pean director of the Joint Distri-
button Committee, said that most
of the Jewish refugees who quail
ify for admission to the U. S.
under the Emergency Immigra-
ton Bill come under the special
provisions which the law made
for refugees from countries be-
hind the Iron Curtain.

himself up, like papal authority,

Jewish paper that printed the
news of this marriage. That was
arrogance. The right to print re-
mains one of the American free
doms. In the current Mccarthy

that in Jefferson days, the Jews
numbered one-sixth of the popu-

idea of that!' A rabbi joining
with a Christian minister in the
sacred service of a marriage! It's
all right for rabbis TO mix with
Christian ministers in causes that
have TO do with the general good
outside the synagogue and the
church. But in matters special TO
religion a rabbi should stick to his
own altar where his religion ex-
clusivelY belongs. The rabbi had
no business at the side of the
Christian minister in the per-
Torrance of a religious rite: even
though with his Jewish rite he
had an equal part in the cere-
nonY. But that's Reform for you.

what? Isn't it all to the good to
see two clergymen of different
faiths getting together at one
altar in a service of both their
religions? An omen of the
brotherhood of man, isn't it? The
two clergymen-this Christian
and this rabbi-were found for
once speaking to God together.
Can God himself find any fault
in that? If He noticed the matter
at, all He must have been pleased
to see these brethren of two re-

blessing on a marriage. You think
God is more pleased when He

in this column and I usually dc
not review books. But in the case
of Harry Simonhoff who has just
had a book Under Strange
Skies" published by the Philoso-
phical Library. I departed from
the customary procedure. I grew
up with Harry Simonhoff. We
both are native Georgia Crack
ers." Down in Georgia they used
to say. if you want to know the
difference between a Georgia
Cracker and a stump. you look
through the window. IF it
moves. it's stump"
Of course, this story is a libel
of Georgians, as the cases of both
myself and surely Harry Simon
hoff proves. When I was young
reporter, worked only long
enough in one place to get fare
to the next town and my father,
once asked where I was, replied:
Il don't know, but I think he
missed two towns in Oklahoma"
Certainly. Harry Simonhoff
has been on the move. He moved
from Georgia to South Carolina.
where he went to college. and
later was elected to the legisla-
ture. and from South Carolina. he
moved to Florida. Witnessing the
rise of Miami and becoming a
millionaire for a while. He finally
got bored making money and
started roaming around til e
world. keeping an eye out for
the Jews among the various peo-
pies under strange skies.
Simonhoff's book came out
rather strangely. You might say
he came out in two editions, for
I heard the news of it's publica-
ton simultaneously with the re-
port that he had married. I met
his bride. She told me that if
ever intended to write a book, to
do it before I got married. After
seeing Mr.. and Mrs. Simonhoff,
can understand the grounds for
the advice.
But what about his book?
Under Strange Skies" is good
because it is Harry Simonhoff
talking. A lot of people sitting
down to write think they must
somehow transform themselves
become something special when
they write. Really what we want
of the writer is himself to the
utmost. In his book, Mr.. Simon
hoff tells many things which some
would be afraid to mention-and
l think this makes for the special
interest of the work. He tells, for
example, of well known South
Carolina rabbits liking for the red
liquor, to such an extent that he
would often call a recess in the
synagogue services to refresh
himself. And there is that Louisi-
ana actor, who also served as a

At Celebration
Of Hirohi+o

In a recent letter to his family,
Sgt. William E. (BilD Brown,
writes that he was present at a
celebration honoring the Japanese
Emperor ,Hirohito, on his birth
day.
On this occasion the palace
grounds were opened to the public
for one of the few times of the
year. Hirohito appeared on small
balcony for a few minutes. waving
to his vast throng of followers. The
crowd would shout "Banzai" which
in our language means hurrah. Bill
states that he had taken quite a
few moving pictures of the ocean
and also the May Day Celebration
during Cherry blossom time.
The people gather in the parks
and entertainers wander around
and for few yen play on odd

dance.
