Sd Award Revealed
As City Gets Plaques
For Traffic Safety

The District today received its
two latest traffic safety awards
and the winning of a third, also
for 1852, was announced.
In District Building cere-
monies, the city was presented
a plaque for outstanding
achievement in traffic engineer
ing" and another for taking
first place in the national con-
test sponsored by the National
Traffic Safety Council. Scores
of city officials were on hand.
The engineering award, Of
fered by the Institute of Traffic
Engineers was presented by
Charles w. Prisk, highway en-
gineer for the Federal Bureau of
Public Roads, who spoke for the
institute. It also was announced
that Washington has won the
International Association of Po-
lice Chiefs traffic law enforce
ment award.
Mr.. Prisk said for a lob con-
sistently well done, Washington
commands public respect all
over the country" He pointed
out that traffic officials from all
over the country study this city
for pointers on pedestrian safety.
Mr.. Prisk warned. however, that
city officials, as everywhere, must
look to the public for year-in-
and-year-out solution to the
traffic safety problem.
Norman Damon, vice president
of the Automotive Safety Foun-
dation and a judge in the safety
council contest, summed up
Washington's record for 1852
with the observation that "some
of us here in this room may have
had our lives spared last year" as
a result of the city's safety con-
sciousneSs.
POINTING out that washington
ranked either first or second in
all but one of the various con-
tests, Mr.. Damon emphasized the
Importance of that one on which
the city fell down. That cate
CORY was school safety, and the
Shortcoming, he said, was that
less than 10 per cent of the Dis
trict high school pupils are
getting behind the wheel driving
instruction.
The District has consistently
tried to get funds from Congress
to increase its school-driver pro-
gram.

District 10 Keep
Health, Welfare
Setups Intact
Action Is Tentative
Subject to Public
/ Hearing July ~
By John W. Stepp

The District Commissioners
today decided for the time being,
at least, to leave the Public We'll
fare Board intact and to go
along with their reorganizers'
recommendation that the control
of the Health Department re-
main in the hands Of a single
director. a
The city heads met for two
hours this morning in an effort
to get the Government reorgan-
ization program completed to
beat midnight deadline. They
have yet to act on proposals to
consolidate the administrative
work of the 10 professional and
occupational boards.
Their action on the health and
welfare questions actually is only
tentative. Final action depends
on a public hearing which the
Commissioners decided on for
July %.
To Get Public Views.
In the hearing, the public will
get full-f1edged opportunity to
state its views on whether the
Welfare Board should be abol-
ished as urged by the reorgan-
izers. and whether a Board of
Health should be established,
contrary to the reorganizers'
recommendation.
The District medical profess
sion favorS establishing a Health
Board.
The Commissioners were to
meet this afternoon to reach a
decision on the professional and
occupation boards. It was
thought likely that the city
heads probably will hold hear
ing to help resolve that contro-
Versy, too.
Police Get Pound.
The only fatty final decision
they did reach this morning was
to place the city dog pound in
the Metropolitan Police Depart
ment. The pound has been a
separate entity in the past.
Commissioner Samuel Spen-
Ger said that the reason for the
hearing is that "such a basic
issue" is involved in the health
and welfare reorganization pro-
posals. Mr.. Spencer pointed out
that in connection with the
Health Department, he and his
colleagues want, for example,
to give especially close study to
a report made in recent months
by citizens committee on medi-
cal care for the INDECENT here.
This committee of doctors, ply
sicians and laymen favors set
ting up a Board of Health to
replace the present single direc-
tor system of administering the
department.

Arlington School Job
May Be Shut Down;
Green Suit Blamed

Renewed litigation over Fed
eral employees serving on the Ar
lington School Board threatens
to shut down all new school con-
struction in the county and re-
quire halliday shifts for 5000
students.
This was announced by the
School Board yesterday after it
was unable to sell $2.8 million in
bonds to meet school construc-
ton bills.
DR.. Barnard Joy, School Board
chairman, said there was no
money to pay contractors on nine
current projects without sale of
the bonds. Bills already amount
to more than 100000. said DR..
Joy. and more are expected
within a week.
1--WE don't know what else the
builders can do but discontinue
work." said DR.. Joy.
DR.. Joy said the situation
might throw 500 construction
workmen out of jobs. He said
the School Board had counted
on completion of these projects
for the beginning of the fall
term. If they are not ready. he
said. about 5000 students-or
one-third of the total enrolment
will have to go on halliday
shifts.
The School Board was unable
to sell the bonds because Attor-
ney John Locke Green again has
taken up his fight against three
Federal employees serving on the
county School Board.
Mr.. Green last week filed a
petition with the Virginia Su-
preme Court requesting a new
hearing of his suit to oust three
Arlington school board members
because they are Federal en-
ployes. The Supreme Court on
June 8 had ruled that the Fed
eral employees could serve, revers-
ing an earlier decision of Arling-
ton Circuit Court that they could
not.
This new action made it i'm
possible for the Arlington School
Board to sell the bonds yester-
day because the only bidder re-
quired delivery of the bonds by
July Is with an accompanying
certificate of no litigation. The
school board said its bond at
torneys advised that the bid
could not be accepted under this
condition.

for all. Therefore, when Jewish
organizations have a dinner and
do not follow the exact dietary
regulations as Rabbi Rothstein
understands them, they are not
violating Jewish tradition. It must
be remembered that the Kosher
kitchen was not placed in the
Francis Marion Hotel by the Jew
ish community as whole, but by
one specific organization. Ger
tainly any who wish to use it
should do so. But those who do
not wish to use it cannot be ac-
cused of violating Jewish tradi-
ton or the customs of the Jewish

have stated that we Jews
must respect the views Of the
other. and certainly we must re-
pect the viewpoint and sensibili-
ties Of Orthodox Jews. Most Jew
ish organizations have satisfied
all by arranging for a fish fry
or dairy meal for those who want
it. or for a complete fish or dairy
meal for all. This has long been
a practice here and elsewhere
among. many organizations and
many Orthodox Jews.
I am not opposed, certainly, to
Jewish organizations using the
Kosher kitchen in the hotel, but
that is question for their men,
bership to decide. But if they do
not, it cannot be claimed that
they are violating Jewish tradi-
ton or law.
May I emphasize and under
line this basic point for the well
being Of future Jewish relation
ships within our community: there
is no one. correct. prescribed Jew
ish tradition in many matters.
Let US each beware lest we SET
up OUR way Of Judaism as THE
way Of Judaism. There are. Of
course. many matters upon which
we all agree, but there are also
honest and sincere variations in
Jewish thought and practice. and
I hope that we shall learn to re-
spect them, even if we don't agree
with them. and to live with them
in peace. Rabbi Alan Tarshish

they all add to the vitality and

I believe very strongly that we
must recognize and accept this
fact, so that we can live in peace
in our Jewish community, with
mutual respect and helpfulness.
Certainly. we Jews as minor
itY in American religious life. ex-
pect our rights to be considered
on the American scene. Therefore
we Jews should respect the rights
and views Of other groups in Ju-
daisIn. and recognize there is no
one tradition or law for all Jews.
This is not the place to 60 into
a detailed discussion of the roots
of Jewish practice, except to
point out various groups Of Jews
feel they have good reason for
their beliefs. Reform Judaism, for
instance, believes it was good
authority to feel that customs like
dietary laws, Tefillin, wearing the
hat and the like were not always
part of Jewish life, arose for a
certain environment, and can be
dispensed with, if circumstances
no longer warrant them. It is
clear to them at least that Jewish
laws and customs have changed
in the course of centuries and
can continue to be changed,
though basic Jewish ideals are
eternal, for they have stood the
test of time. Therefore, they are
perfectly proper in feeling that
their way of Judaism is as close
to the Jewish norm as any other
way. And they grant other Jews
the right to feel that their way of
Judaism is good Judaism. Reform
Judaism does not oppose the
dietary laws as evolved in the
Talmud,. but considers them vol
untary practices resting with each
individual, but not a Jewish law

though I may not share that point
of view in some ways. I respect
the viewpoint of Orthodoxy and
Conservatism, and feel that they,
as well as Reform, are necessary
for Jewish life, for they answer
the needs of different Jews.
But it should be obvious to all
that Jews do differ about many
aspects of Judaism, and that these
differences are here to stay for at
least the forseeable future.
Neither Orthodoxy. or Conservat-
ism. nor Reform is doomed. as
some of their opponents would
like to think. They are all strong
