exhibition purposes. 1t is a good time,
therefore, to declare by authority, and,
if necessary, by legislative authority,
that 1t shall be unlawful to remove
it from the building where 1t is placed
for safe keeping. The Liberty Bell be-
longs to the American people. Not
even the original Declaration of Inde-
pendence is a more precious and o
more highly regarded object Of ma
tional veneration than the Liberty Bell.
:. It ought to be forbidden that this
great national relic should ever be put
in jeopardy by any act Of removal that
might expose it to the dangers of trans
portation anywhere. It Is the most
valued relic the Nation has. Papers.
instruments, precious records might be
duplicated in facsimile. The Liberty
Bell never can be, and now, when no.
body is contemplating the removal or
transportation of it for transient pur-
poses, is good time to declare by au-
thority that it shall be unlawful to
remove It," All of which raises the
question: Is the Liberty Bell really safe
in its present location in Independence
Hall in Philadelphia?
Featured in The Star of September
2, 1903, was dispatch from New York
telling Of the murder Of
on-PulIen Mrs Fannie Pullen and
Troeedy the suicide Of Henry T.
Edison, son Of former
Mayor Franklin Edison and brother of
DR.. Cyrus Edison. The home Of the Ed
son family was the scene Of the double
tragedy, and Edson's wife was q spec
tator. Edison was said to have been
"insanely jealous of the woman and
wanted her to go away with him." He
pleaded with her in vain, then fired
two revolver shots at her. The same
weapon was used by Edison to end his
own life. Mrs. Pullen and Mrs. Edison
had been intimate friends for II years"

The GSA has revealed that the cost of

nearly double the housekeeping cost for such
modern Federal building as the General

Conservative British Labor

The conservative temper of the British
trades union leadership and the control which
that leadership maintains over the union move
ment are being displayed again in the annual
conference of the Trades Union Congress.
Without important exception a series of reso-
lutions sponsored by the left-wing faction with
in the congress has been voted down by a con-
elusive majority, leaving the T. U. C. on record
as not only opposed to some of the extremist
views within the organization but also as look
ing with considerable reserve upon some of
the projected policies of the British Labor
Party itself.
For example, after debate that had its
disorderly moments, the congress delegates
voted by more than two-to-one margin in
favor of limitations on strategic trade between
East and West beating down left-wing charges
that the United States is attempting to curb
such trade only to permit American monopoly
of world markets. Spokesman for the majority
attacked Communist propaganda favoring ex
pansion of such trade and asserted its poten-
tial Importance to the British economy has
been exaggerated. The whole mood of the
congress majority has been cool, furthermore,
toward Labor Party platform that was put
into circulation early in the summer and which
reflects many of the views of Anuerin Bevan,
the vigorous Socialist minority leader. Among
these views, proposed as government program
when and if the Labor Party returns to con-
troll, were expanded naturalization of indus
tries, broader social welfare plans, increased
government controls over prices and invest
ments, higher taxes on the "rich" and tougher
trade policy toward the United States.
While the final outcome of this struggle
within the core of the Labor Party is not yet
clear, the fact that the moderates still control
the Trades Union Congress is likely to have
fornr hn
possibility, already foreseen as such by some
British analysts, is that an outright divorce
is impending between British trade unionism
and Socialist theory. In such event. the extreme
Socialist group would be faced with choice
of reconciling itself to long-term minority
status within the Labor Party-or of looking
elsewhere for its political af1liation. Meanwhile
the Conservative Party stands to benefit by
the factional strife across the political street

Security Ruther Than Economy

When does Russia want war? She
might strike tonight Yet our defenses
are being built slowly on a long-range
basis. We have cut our military budget,
our foreign aid, our civil defense.
Taxes are too high" we scream. But
are we going to gamble our lives and
our civilization for money? In 1776
men gave their lives, their homes for
freedom. Have we lost the dream?
can't believe we are degenerating.

let's pay them like Americans.

BIuebird as U. S. Symbol

It would be much more inspiring and
appropriate, if the bird symbol of our
country were the bluebird. rather than
the eagle. The bluebird is the symbol
of happiness, its colors are red, white
and blue, and it is especially beautiful.
The eagle is predatory. warlike, anti
social, ugly and depressing. 1t is appro-
priately the symbol of some of the Old
World nations who considered oppres-
sion and conquest of weaker nations
something to be proud of. but it simply
does not symbolic the United States
at all, as the United States is the hap
piest and most altruistic country in
the world, and the promised land for
the oppressed and destitute.

The following is the text of a
Passover message issued by Rabbi
Theodore L. Adams of Congrega-
ton Mt. Sinai, Jersey City, New
Jersey, and President of the
Rabbinical Council of America.
With the advent of Passover,
the age-old festival of freedom,
the Rabbinical Council of Ameri-
"a extends its cordial greetings
to freedom-loving peoples every
where. 1t is our hope and prayer
that the concept of human dignity
and freedom will continue to gain
new adherence and will spreac
IS message to every corner of the
globe; that it will penetrate ali
the artificial barriers which laws
AVE been set up against its in
rusion and that it will conquer
The hearts of all men who will
enceforth dedicate themselves
20 its propagation.
We greet particularly the State
If Israel, the Fifth Anniversary
If whose freedom comedies al
most with this great festival.
Israel has indeed become an out
post in the defense perimeter of
the freedom-loving world and has
brought new vigor and meaning
to this age-old concept.
We are indeed proud of the
fact that it was our people who
first brought to the world, more
than three-thousand years age,
the realization that freedom was
one of the great ideals of the
human soul and that its achieve
ment was worthy of every effort
and sacrifice:
We wound admonish the free
dom-loving world that although
freedom may be our heritage and
our right, we will not long retain
it, if we take it for granted and
are not at all times prepared to
defend and further it with all the
vigor at our command.
There is no freedom unless it
is rooted in spirituality. The
liberation from Egypt did not
take place until the children of
Israel had destroyed the idols and
acknowledged one God; and by
this spiritual elevation become
of freedom.
Let us, therefore, through the
lesson of Passover once more
dedicate ourselves to the right
moral and ethical values enunci-
ated in the Torah which give
meaning and purpose to our free
dom and to our very life.
For us Torah and freedom are
synonymous, for it is Torah
which has always made our
spirits free even when our bodies
we're enslaved.
It is the realization of. this
ruth that caused the tyrants Of
I'D and their modern totalitarian i
.ounterpartS to divest their
,eople of freedom by first deny
ng them their God.
May, therefore, the word Of
God enter into the hearts of men
70 that through it the flame of
reedom will never be extinguish-
