Editor, Southern Jewish Weekly
Mr.. Isadore Moscovitz
Jacksonville, Fla.
Dear Sir:
During these four weeks that
l have been a resident here, I
have read with growing interest
the copies of your paper which
have continued to come in the
name of my predecessor Bob
Stevenson. I hope that I may
have the privilege of having them
continue to come to. the church
office, in my name. They make
valuable and stimulating reading.
No project in the community has
been dearer to me, in my own
thinking and service through
various activities, than that of in
creasing understanding and CO.
operation between Jewish and
Christian groups.
For years l have been proud to
serve on the board of directors Of
the Rhode Island branch of the
National Conference of Christians
and Jews, while l was a minister
in that State. also participated
in interfaith deputations which
presented the views and pro-
grams of the three major branches
of faith in schools and colleges
and before community groups, as
we'll as on the radio and in. news
paper articles. From time to time
we also had essay and poster con-
tests and we held visitations for
young people and adults, Chris
tian groups visiting synagogues
and Jewish groups being guests
in churches.
With every year my respect
for Jews and for their worship
and for their great contribution to
all phases of modern life has in
creased.
Today l would suggest the fol-
lowing as possibly being of some
help in further developing He
brew Christian cooperation:
/. Organizing lecture or study
groups where both viewpoints are
represented.
2. Various types of joint cele-
bration of Hanukkah and Christ
mas, for instance.
8. Arranging social events for
both Jews and Christians under
religious auspices.
4. Occasional joint gatherings
of clergy, especially for the dis
cussion of current social and re-
ligious problems.
S. Familiarizing people of
Christian tradition with Jewish
institutions in the community,
such as the Center, homes for the
aged, Hebrew schools, and the
like.
am convinced that much good
can come from a deeper under
standing of these backgrounds,
and that if both groups work to-
gether along lines of mutual con-
Germ, much good will result for
the community as a whole.
Sincerely yours,

Truck Industry Gears
To Fight Restrictive
Laws and Railroads
By Froncis P. Douglas

Lines were drawn today for an
all-out fight by the trucking in
dustry against restrictive legisla-
tion and those they blame for
such legislatfon-the railroads.
The trucking industry made it
clear its punches can carry
weight. 1t says it is the country's
leading employer, giving jobs to
one of every 10 workers and
spending more than SGT billion
annually for wages and mate
rials.
All this was brought out yes
terday at a press conference
called by the Independent Ad-
visory Committee to the Truck
ing Industry.
The committee chairman is
Dave Beck, president of the AFL
International Brotherhood of
Teamsters, the Nations biggest
and most powerful union. Other
directors of the committee at the
conference were Walter F. Carey,
former president and now chair
man of the American Trucking
Associations, Inc; Roy Frue-
hauf. president of the Fruehauf
Trailer Co., and B. M. Seymour,
president of Associated Trans
port, Inc, the country's largest
trucking company.
Join for Combat.
The committees formal an
nouncement said management,
labor and supplies in the indus
try have Joined for aggressive
combat against ANY deliberate
attempts to retard the industry's
Development"
Mr.. Beck said bluntly these
attempts were made by compet-
ing carrierS-the railroads.
They won't admit it." he as
serted. IF they would admit it,
it would cruelty them"
He explained the barriers to
trucking development are chiefly
at State lines. For example, he
went on, California permits
truck to be loaded with, say,
10000 pounds. Oregon restricts
that to $4,000 pounds. A truck
from California loaded with
10000 pounds has to stop at the
Oregon line, unload 5000 pounds
and have another truck pick up
that load.
Mr.. Beck said the committee
intends to educate the LegiS-
latures about the cost of the
barriers"
Rail Scheme Studied.
The committee is studying
"piggy-back" transportation of
loaded truck trailers on railroad
cars.
1--WE have about 10 attorneys
studying the ramifications of
certification by the ICC Inter-
state Commerce Commission) for
piggy-back operations, he said
We'll eventually have perhaps
SO attorneys"
Another point of dispute is the
transport of mails by truck.
THE rails are fighting to keep
the mail on the rails, no matter
what it costs the people," Mr..
Beck said.
Since February, 1851, the Post
Office has been turning to trucks
to carry mails up to 800 miles
from the principal mail termi-
mails. John M. Redding, former
Assistant Postmaster General in
charge of transportation. said
trucks are carrying mail at an
annual rate of $18 million in rail
charges and are saving about
half that sum. He said the po-
tential mail business for trucks
is about $3.50 million to $3.50 mil
lion on the basis of what the
Government pays the railroads.
Mr.. Redding is now consultant

Mrs. Priest Cites Women s
Voting Power in Change

Mrs. Ivy Baker Priest, Treas
urer of the United States. yester-
day said women were "of a
mind" to bring about a change
last fall. and their voting record
demonstrates how they effected
it.
Addressing the Organized
Women Voters of Arlington on
the occasion of the groups 30th
anniversary, Mrs. Priest said
women were stirred as never
before" in the recent national
elections.
Women, she said, disproved
the notion that a committee is
a group Of people who. as In
dividuals, can do nothing but
who as a group decide that
nothing can be done.
Mrs. Priest backed up her re-
marks with statistics showing
how great was the turnout of
female voters in the 1852 elec-
ton. OF the total vote last fall,
she said So per cent of it was
cast by women.
The group was also addressed
by Mrs. Olin D. Johnston, wife
Of Senator Johnston, Democrat,

Brooke Lee Backs
Charter TruceMo
For 1854 Campaign

Montgomery County Demo-
Gratis set about resolving their
differences at an open meeting
of the County Democratic State
Central Committee in Bethesda
last night.
Marred only by a slight furry
between Mrs. Stella Werner and
E. Brooke Lee, the meeting re-
suited in passage of a resolution
promising a 1854 county cam
paign within the framework OF
the (county) charter" About
$50 precinct workers and other
Democrats attended.
Mr.. Lee, long time party
leader and foe of the charter
form of government, who Sec
onded the truce resolution, told
the meeting "the form of gov
ernment in Montgomery County
is no longer an ISSUE"
The resolution said "the
Democratic Party pledges the
people of Montgomery County
that when it is entrusted with
control Of the county govern
meuts under the charter, it will
squarely face the responsibility
of providing adequate schools
for the children and paying ade-
quate salaries to the teachers
of the county who have beer
so unjustly Disseminated against
by the Republican administra-
ton in Annapolis"
Mrs. Werner rose near the
end of the meeting to attack
Mr.. Lee for having issued a
recent public statement in which
he predicted that one Of the is
sues in the 1854 campaign would
be what he termed "wasteful
and unnecessary spending" by
the County Council.
Mrs. Werner, a member Of the
council, said she thought such
statements by individuals would
hurt the party. She suggested
that all County Democrats be
extremely careful in statements
not released through the reg
ular party organization"

For Governorship in
Virginia Until 1857
BY the Assoeiofed Press

RADFORD, Va, Mar. 25.-
State Senator Ted Dalton said
today he will seek the gover-
norship in 1857. provided of
course, that my fellow Republi-
cans four years from now still
wish me to be a candidate. -
In deferring his bid until the
gubernatorial election four
years hence, the Radford at
torney joined two prominent
Virginia Democrats who have
done likewise-Attorney General
j. Lindsay Almond, jr., and Del
egate Robert Whitehead of Mel
son County.
Mr.. Dalton ruled himself out
of this years race last night
when he said he definitely would
not be a candidate. This COM
ment came after State G. o. P.
Chairman Floyd Landreth of
Galax had predicted Mr.. Dalton
would accept the Republican
nomination for Governor.
Lists Four Reasons.
In his statement, Mr.. Dalton
listed four reasons for his de-
cision to wait:
The probable removal Of the
poll tax as a prerequisite to vot-
ing; a continued gain in popu-
larity Of the Eisenhower ad-
ministration: a probable division
among Democratic forces; and
the press of other political duties
and private business.
Loving Enters Race.
Meanwhile, in Hot Springs,
Delegate Charles N. Loving today
uttered E the July Is Democratic
rimary as q candidate for lieu
enant governor.
Mr.. Loving's entry follows by
two days the withdrawal of Dele
gate Paul Crockett of Yorktown,
who said he intends to devote his
efforts to arranging a Jamestown
350th anniversary celebration in
1857.
The 62-year-old Loving will
oppose the present lieutenant
governor, A. E. S., Stephens of
Isle of Wight County. Mr..
Stephens was elected last Mo-
vember after the death of L.
Preston Collins, who had been
lieutenant governor since 1945.

Head Of Schools
In Calvert Indicted
In $500 Shortage
BY the Assoeioied Press

PRINCE FREDERICK, Md.
Mar. 25.-An indictment re-
turned last week charges Harry
r. Hughes, Calvert County school
superintendent, with embezzle-
ment Of $500 of school funds, II
was learned today.
Hughes, who has held the post
since 1892, is free on $500 bond
pending arraignment on the
charge.
He described the charge as
"the greatest shock of my life.''
Calvert County States Attor-
ney Arthur w. Dowell said
Hughes had been unable to ac-
count thus far for $500 orig
inally used to purchase a second
hand car for an agricultural
teacher in July, 1948. The car
was bought with funds advanced
by the county school system. Mr..
Dowell said the teacher has re-
ceipts showing repayment Of the
entire $1,000 purchase price. of
which only about half has been
accounted for.
The discrepancy was discov-
cred during a check of school
finances started last January
after county school teachers and
bus drivers reported they were
not being paid.
John w. Williams, jr., preSi-
dent of the Taxpayers AsSocia-
tion of Calvert County. expressed
confidence that none of the
school funds had been misused.
He said more money is. needed
for the schools.
"I am sure" he said, "that Mr..
Hughes, even though he is in
dicted, did not use any Of the
$500 for himself. He Is not that
kind of man."

Bill Would Ban
Development Of 3O1
As Express Highway
By stoff Correspondent Of The s.ur

ANNAPOLIS, Mar. 25.-Plans
of the State Roads Commission
to use Route 301 as a Maryland
thoroughfare for New York Flor
ida traffic would have to be
junked, under a bill introduced
by the five Southern Maryland
Senator's.
The measure, put in yesterday,
would prohibit the commission
from ever using Route 301 and
Route 5 as expreSsways.
The commission had planned
to expand 301 to dual highway
from its intersection with the
new WaShington-Annapol ex-
pressway to the Virginia line.
The Annapolis Expressway
soon will connect directly to the
Chesapeake Bay Bridge and the
new Delaware and New Jersey
turnpikes, thus providing dual,
limited access roads between
New York and Virginia.
Former Representative Sasscer
of Upper Marlboro recently rep
resented scores of Southern
Maryland residents in protesting
to the Legislature that they want
Highway 3O1 to be accessible to
farmers. Mr.. SaSscer also urged
that established businesses along
the highway be protected. ~
