Some of them do not fit in the
"blighted" category, and the
owners of IL homes have retained
Attorney Richard s. Luckett, Jr..
to fight the redevelopment pro-
gram.
The authority says that. al
though only 68 of the 100 homes
are listed as sub-standard, it is
necessary to take all of them
because no developer would be
interested in buying a series of
small parcels of land.
A study of the 100 homes. the
authority reported, revealed that
62 had no private bath, So lacked
a private toilet, 81 had only cold
water, and that in addition 80
we're dilapidated beyond repair.
Under the law, the authority
must help relocate all displaced
families in decent, safe and sani-
tary dwelling units. The Mer-
chants Committee Opposed to
the Prince Street Shopping Cen
ter has replied that lit is obvious
to those in business circles that
equivalent housing is not availa-
BILE for purchase to those who
will be displaced"
The Prince Street Shopping
Center, the authority believes,
would constitute the most de-
sirable site available for CONNER
cial development in the city"
Downtown Locations Cited.
Some opponents of the plan
question this-they say business
isn't going that way" They point
to new stores on Washington
street as proof that merchants
prefer far downtown locations

Thomas Moncure, attorney fol
the Merchants Committee, also
questions the need for another
shopping center at that location
But he adds, II would like to be
in the new shopping center if
were a merchant because every
thing would be stacked and
loaded in my favor"
The authority proposes to buy
the land, first by attempting
negotiation and then by con-
demnation where "adamant

owners. Then the land would bt

ease, in the opinion of objectors.
The question to be presented
to the City Council on June 8
can be narrowed down to this:
Would the city be justified in
clearing an area which includes
dirty. dilapidated and dangerous
slum homes for resale and re,
development as a privately
owned shopping center?
The authority and its sup
porters say, "Yes." They say the
future economic health of all
Alexandria depends on meeting
competition being offered by sub
urban shopping centers in other
areas. They say they are justi-
fed in using the power of con-
demnation, if necessary, to ac-
quire the property because pri-
vate developers are discouraged
by the difficulty and expense of
the acquisition process.
Merchants Protest.
Opponents say "No." Some
King street merchants protest
that their tax money will be
hurled back in their faces" by
bringing in outside competi-
tion." They protest that the
right of eminent domain-"the
fearsome power Of the law
should not be used to place a
store on the site of a mans home
They say that private developers
have not been reluctant to &c
out and acquire land they really
want.
The project site covers 11.6;
acres. including 4.97 acres ol
streets and alleys. The area lie!
between Duke street and Kine
street, about seven blocks west
of Washington street. Business
establishments fronting on Kint
street are not included in thu
proposed redevelopment. Part
of West street and Peyton stree
are inside the tract. and a small
section along Payne street also j
included. The entire area to b.
redeveloped is already zonet
commercial.
Five fairly modern or subStan
tial commercial buildings inSid'
the boundary are excluded from
the project. Also excluded is tn

The World Over

would be negligence beyond al
understanding. For the Middle
East is a strategic area at the
present time. 1t is news. All OF
us want to know what is happen
ing there. We want the back
ground, factual and unbiased, Sc
that we can place in proper per-
spective our nations policies in
that region.
Put the facts before the Ameri-
can public, and the reaction is u.s.
ually in the direction of sane, far
seeing government policy, But
first the facts, ma'am-and sir.
Since we only know what we read
in the newspaper, it had better
be good and it had better be true.
A discerning public can see to
both.
IT'S PASSOVER thine again,
and in addition to the house-clean-
ing and menu-devising, We are
giving some thought to the Seder
service itself.
We use "The New Haggadah, "
edited by Rabbis Mordecai M.
Kaplan, Eugene Kohn and Ira Els
enstein, and decorated by the we'll
known illustrator, Leonard Weis-
gard. 1t is the same familiar
Haggadah, transposed, as the edi-
tors tell us, into the key of mod
ern thought, modern experiences
and modern idiom,' filling in the
old framework with poems, songs
and Rabbinic sayings which add
meaning to the text.
Whatever Haggadah is used.
however, We can make the Seder
a more beautiful and heart-warm-
ing experience by adding music to
the service. Such songs as "Day-
emu" "Elyohu Ha-novi," "Addir
HUI and "Chad Gadyo" are all
taught at Sunday School, and their
addition to the home Seder can
make this the happiest, most mem
orable Passover of all.
ONE OF THE delightful by
products of the reSettling of a new
old land and the revival of an
ancient language is the imagina-
tive enlargement of the vocabu-
larry designed to meet that land S
20th-century needs.
Suppose, for instance, you were
responsible for the naming of a
newly-invented automatic washing
machine-a commodity still far in
the future when the early He
brews lived and loved and devel-
oped their ancient language. What
would you call this new device?
My fluctuations go to the master
of terminology who chose the name

able, authentic and complete.
In the newspaper editor do we
put our trust. 1t follows that his
is a great, a humbling responsl-
bility-as serious and challenging
as the doctors Hippocratic oath.
For the most part he responds
nobly, and places his obligation to
his readers above all conSidera-
tions. But if he fails to do so-if
he does not provide authentic, COM
plete and unbiased news coverage
his defenseless readers acquire
such a distorted view of a situa-
ton that they are weakened in the
performance of their duties as free
citizens. This is highly undesir-
able in a democracy.
In many newspapers, including
our own, the coverage on Israel is
a case in point. There is wealth
of information available from the
news services, but little of it ac-
tually reaches the reading public.
The few items which are selected
are, curiously, weighted in one di-
rection.
Out of the welter of news COM
ing from the Middle East, telling
of the instability of the constantly
changing governments in the Arab
states, the answering hatred OF
those feudal states for democratic
Israel, the daily plundering raids
by Arabs who steal across the bor-
der to harass their Israeli neigh
bors, the blockading of Israel ships
by Egypt and the massacres by
Jordanians, the threats of total an
inhalation by Saudi Arabia and the
iailing of Israel citizens by Iraq
out of all this, we get a rare
item telling quite unreliably, as it
usually turns ouD of the massing
of Israel soldiers on all borders,
ready to pounce on one or more OF
her innocent neighbors.
The headlines blaze only when
IsraeliS, made desperate by Arab
tactics, take some retaliatory ac-
ton. News of the JordanianS who
recently marched far into Israel,
across difficult terrain, to attack
a bus and machine-gun all its oc-
cupants, killing II men, women
and children in cold blood-was ac-
corded a few lines on the inside
pages of our paper.
1t cannot be argued that this
dearth of news is an accident. That

Editorial
Mccarthy &
Passover

appropriate to talk about
Senator Mccarthy during
this Passover season. For
Passover's keystone is the
spirit of freedom and human
dignity, w h ic h represents
the eternal heritage and in
spiration of Judaism. Nc
Carthy and McCarthyism, if
they continue to flourish and
to corrode our nations dem
ocratic structure, cannot but
destroy that spirit of free
dom and human dignity.
Perhaps, then, it was the
realization of this fact which
accounted for an interesting
aspect of a recent Gallup
poll on public attitudes to-
ward Mccarthy. Gallup
made a special breakdown
among the three major re-
ligious groups and found
that a far larger proportion
of Jews opposed Mccarthy
than of any other denomina-
ton.
| Was this because McCar-
thy is anti-Semitic? No. So
far-and we repeat, so far
the Wisconsin demagogue
has not made use Of the fav-
orite apon of dema-
gogues, anti-Semitism. He is,
to be sure, the darling of the
paranoiac extremists of the
right. They hate Jews and
love Mccarthy, and that
may or may not be a coinci-
dence. But Mccarthy him
self has carefully abstained
from religious bigotry.
Why, therefore, do Jews
oppose Mccarthy in greater
ratio than any other religi-
Gus group? Because we
treasure individual liberty,
freedom of the intellect, de-
cency, tolerance and the
right of dissent. Because we,
as a people, have fought re-
peatedly for those .princi-
Piles, knowing t h a t w h n
they are extinguished, we,
too, must be extinguished.
And cause Mccarthy
represents the antithesis of
those principles. For McCar-
thy, spelled backward, is
tyranny.
