We do not believe these pro-
posals will get very far, even
among Reform Jews who, for
understandable reasons, are more
liberal in accepting converts to
Judaism than are Jews of other
denominations. For Jews to go
out and engage in extensive
missionary activity among Gen
tiles-even the u n C hur h d.
would run counter to an in
grained millenial Jewish feeling
against deliberately seeking con-
verts. Orthodox Judaism, which
until about a century and half
ago was the only form of Judaism
in existence, is a stern discipline
which controls mans daily activi-
ties, which binds one to a nation
atty as well as a faith, which de-
mands that the convert forsake
the group out of which he
sprung. 1t is furthermore the faith
of a minority group in all lands
except the State of Israel, a mi
nority which does not wish to
give the majority any additional
reason for resentment against it
which extensive missionary work
might arouse. You may call it
exclusiveness. chosenness or dedi-
cation to a way of life. Quaker
Christians feel the same way a.
bout engaging in missionary ac-
tivities-they don't go in for it.
And the Quakers nowadays are
considered pretty good Christians.

New buildings, in the main,

against expecting GSA to rush
into a huge lease-purchase pro-
gram. He said:
1.-THE program will go forward
in carefully tested steps In &C
cordance with our policy princi-
pies. Prudent exercise Of the
new authority is dedicated not
only by the previously mentioned
limitations. which were written
into the law itself. but also by
the fact that we are pioneering

ly, we will conduct our expert
mental efforts with an eye alert

All that may be very true, the

..it's one thing to have patron
to substitute rehabilitation of an
old building, and another to de-
prive the. present owner Of his

Gen. Prentiss noted that no
such patron is in sight. Besides
which, he added, the hrickwork
is historic, but not unique. It has
no beauty Of design"
The Engineer Commissioner
said he and his staff inspected
the building from top to bottom

as well as others. including OBJ
servations that the original
structure has been added onto
at least four times over the years

Mother sLife Saved
By Blood Substance
Checking Bleeding

Fibrinogin. a substance con-
tanned in pooled human blood
and only produced through a
complicated process, was sup
piled to physicians at GARFIELD
Hospital this week by the District
Red Cross Blood Bank and
credited with saving the life of
q 20-year-old mother.
The woman, doctors at the
hospital said. was bleeding pro-
fusely following birth on Mon
day. The child was born dead.
Despite attempts to "clot' the
blood through transfusions the
bleeding persisted. It Is only in
rare cases. according to doctors,
when fibrinogin is called on to
trigger the CLOTHING mechanism
in the blood stream.
This was done because Of the
emergency nature of the case
by obtaining the scarce sub
stance from the local Red. Cross
Blood Bank. The patient. who
had been bleeding for some i've
hours before, stopped bleeding
some Is minutes after the intra-
yenous infusion Of fibrinogin.
The product is produced under
the auspices Of the Red Cross
and is only given in emergency
cases.

Capitol Police Bill
Faces House. Fight

Legislation to set up q new
Capitol Police Force on a pro-
feSsional career basis, abolishing
the present patronage system,
faces q fight on the floor Of the
House.
This was indicated late yester-
day when the measure was
sharply attacked by Represen-
tative Smith. Democrat, of Vir-
ginia. The bill got the House
into such q tangle that the Re-
publican leadership refused to
permit quorum call late in the
day. and adjourned until 10 am.
today.
When the police bill will come
up for further action was some
what problematical, since legis-
lation of national Importance is
pending.
Mr.. Smith criticized the bill
as without lone iotap of protec-
ton for members Of the House
to prevent a recurrence of the
March ! gunfire attack made by
Puerto Ricans from the gallery
wounding five persons on the
floor. He indicated he would
fight against even the rule CIV
ing the police bill the right OF
way for House floor action.

D. c. Heads Back Bill
For Leasing Of j. 5.
Land in S.W. Area

The District Commissioners
have guardedly Endorsed pending
legislation that, would permit
private developers to lease land
from the Federal Government
for big new construction In a
major redevelopment area of
Southwest Washington.
While the city heads said they
feel some provisions of the bill
introduced. by Representative
Auchincloss. Republican, Of New
Jersey, need Qualification. they
want to go on record approving
the measure in principle.
Under the bill, the District Re-
development Land Agency would
be empowered to sell property
or to exchange it with the Cen
eral Services Administration The
Federal agency, in turn, would
lease the property for periods
UP to so years to developers.
GSA would make payments in
lieu of taxes to the District on
the land on the basis Of 1854
tax rates. Building improve
ments on the property would be
tax-free.
During the lease period the
developer would hold title to
the improvements. The Com
missioners and land agency off,
Gals were uncertain whether
GSA or the developer would
have title to the land, but in
any case the title to the inn
provements would revert to the
Federal agency at the termina-
ton of the lease.
The area, between Sixth and
Twelfth streets, G street and
independence avenue S.W., fig-
ures prominently in the rede-
velopment plans of the New York
firm Of Webb & Knapp.
Hearings on the Auchincloss
bill originally scheduled for to-
day was postponed indefinitely.

Stone Chills Air.
The Lincoln Memorial is al
most always pleasantly cool.
Heated air rises to the ceiling,
far above where you're likely to
be standing. And the tons of
stone tend to chill the air and
protect it from the suns rays.
The protection of thick stone
is also what keeps heat out of
the ground floor entrance in the
center Of the Capitol's west side.
Moreover, vagrant breezes find
their way into this place Of deep
shade, inspired, perhaps, by the
vast windiness from the House
and Senate wings.

watered and Well-shaded. Don't

 While in port here on q cruise of the Prince George. Mir. Fraser made tie acquaintance of Mr. and Mrs. MeKibben. Mir. McKibben was lin the process of making up Christi mas boxes for the orphans of the .St Theresa Mission at Telegraph Greek. as he does every fall MT. Fraser became interested and don ated SD toward the cause. Fol lowing his kindness. Mae" and Fraser corresponded and exchanged jelHes and jams of Alaska and Florida.
 A couple of weeks ago Mac got a letter from Fraser telling of his marriage last April to a fellow passenger on that cruise of the Prince George. MT Fraser. said: sI do not know whether or not I told you. but my present wife was a passenger on the good ship Prince George However. surprisingly enough. we barely spoke to one an other all the time we were on the trip and it was the following April before We were married"
 Not only did the children of St. Theresa.s Mission benefit by Fras. CTS vacation trip. but McKibben made new friend and Dan Cupid scored another hit with his bow and arrow.
