eager to listen than be listened
to. Ben-Zvi could be pushed
when necessity urged that he
should, he could carry out any
duties thrust on him, but he was
always pleased to retire to his
researches in the wooden shack
which is his home, on one of Jeru-
salem's more aristocratic streets,
there to taste the excitement of a
mute stone telling the secrets of
Aistory, or to track an out-of-the-
way Semitic word to its philologi-
cal lair.
Linked With Jerusalem
The man now inaugurated as
the second President of Israel was
for some seventeen years head
of the National Council of Pales-
tine Jews. Before that, he was,
with David Yellin, the Jewish
Community's choice as one of the
two members of the first British
High Commissioners Advisory
Council.
In the early twenties, when the
Jewish members withdrew in
protest against the Governments
anti-immigration policy, Ben-Zvi
was content to remain for a few
years the Jerusalem representa-
tive of the Histadrut Executive.
It was natural for this Jerusalem
lite to be made a member of the
Jerusalem Municipality while
under the British. And the NUM-
cipality which today Yields au-
thority over Jerusalem as the ma
TONS capital, conferred on him
the ultimate dignity of becoming
one of its very few Freemen, after
Weizmann and Ben-Gurion.
To be made President of Israel
and Freeman of Jerusalem in one
day is, at the tea-time of his life
(Ben-Zvi is 68), the destination to

Jamal Pasha's never" proved
as ephemeral as many other
"nevers" in history. Ben-Zvi and
Ben-Gurion came back to Pales-
tine in 1918, as part of the Fourth
Detachment of the American-Jew-
ish Legion. Thirty-four years
later, twenty-one guns doomed in
Jerusalem, as Ben-Gurion, the
Premier, saw the candidate of his
choice take the pledge of office as
President of Israel in succession
to Chain Weizmann. Historically,
events have come full circle for
the two-the restless Ben-Gurion
marking paid" to the account
he owed his elder and retiring
brother. Circumstances, as we'll
as the characters of the two men,
conspired to reshuffle the old
partnership without impairing its
comradeship. For many years now
the Observation-Disclosures team
has differed from it's Ben-Zvi-
Ben-Gurion predecessor. AS the
one man forged ahead, until the
logic of events raised him first to
primacy in the Labor movement
and then in the State; the other
slipped into a back seat-re-
served, self-effacing, humble to a
fault, scholarly, plodding, more

which all the milestones he passed
would seem inexorably to have
led. Yet Ben-Zvi, in all Israel, is
probably the one most surprised
that this is so, or that anything
he had done had led to this being
so. For of Ben-Zvi it has been
said, as Pliny remarked of a con-
temporary orator-"His only
fault is that he has none" 1t
would have never occurred to
him to seek the Presidency. His
manner of serving his people, his
country, his city, his party, is
totally aloof from the role of
office. A Haganah man from the
days of the self-defense cells of
his youth in his native Poltava,
Ben-Zvi would have been salts
fled to be identified with Hagan-
ah on the same terms as any Jew
must be when danger threatens or
conditions call for arms.
The refuge he has sought in
scholarship is in part a sublima-
ton of a desire to guide if not
lead the perplexed, which stop
ped short at leadership; in part,
an expression of the repugnance
at the hurly-burly of party-life
and party-strife, in which he
knew himself unable to excel.
But bookiShnesS comes natural to
a man who can trace his family
tree back to the great Rashi, the

at release from its turmoil by de-
voting himself to the printed word
in many languages-to research,

tory is more inviting thing to a
man so constituted than its living
and restless growth, however
peremptory.

Even better players than these
have trouble passing when they
should. I see many cases where
getting the bid" becomes more
important than getting the points
on the score she eet.
Many players seem to feel that
there is some shame attached to
passing-that when you fail to
bid on very doubtful values, you
are lacking in courage.
Disregard those who level such
accusations against you. They are
bound to be the eventual losers in
the game What good is their
advice? I suggest you take your
advice from the winners. And the
winners in the long run will be
those who know when to pass.
In today's deal, when Mr..
Champion failed to come in over
Mr.. Dale's one-Spade overcall,
Miss Brash should have given up
promptly. What possible good
could the hand hold for her side?
It was absurd to dream that game
could be made on the East-West
cards. Indeed, it was much more
likely that the opponents had
some play for game.
They did. When Miss Brash
foolishly reopened the bidding
with two clubs, Mr.. Dale and Mr..
Abel bounced into a four-heart
contract which they undoubtedly
would have made. But, sensing
this, Miss Brash took a sacrifice
at five clubs, going down three
tricks-500 points.
And she could have let Mr.. Dale
play a harmless one-spade con-
tract. Her reopening of the bid
ding automatically put her oppo-
uents in better suit and better
contract.
