In Committee Denied
By. Builders Official

r. G. Hughes. president of the
National Association of Home
Builders, last night minimized
the effect of a House Appropria-
tions Committee recommended
ton which cut President Eisen-
hower's four-year, 140,000-unit
public housing program.
Mr.. Hughes veered from a
prepared speech to make his
comment during a meeting of
the Home Builders Association

during which Robert ]. Lewis.
Real Estate Editor of The Star,
received the 1853 journalistic

did not feel that the Appropria-
tions Committee action repre-
sented "scuttling" of the pro-
gram.
2 Million Families a Year.
The program. If enacted. he
said, would result in 2 million
families being benefited every
year with new housing or re-
Mobilization of housing.
The speaker called particular
attention to the low cost housing
plan recommended by President
Eisenhower. He said the Ma
tional Association of Home
Builders is supporting President
Eisenhower's overall housing
program as the best means avail
able of solving Americas ma
tional housing problems.
Mr.. Hughes pointed out that
the United States still faces an
enormous" housing program
despite the fact that more than
8 million new housing units have
been constructed since the close
of World War II.
Mr.. Lewis originally was
scheduled to receive the award
some weeks ago, but could not
be present because of illness.
The award was offered in local

inspire and maintain high
levels of reporting in the field of
home building" in this area.

Architects for excellence in
architectural reporting. He also
received the $3.50 first prize of
the national organization of the
American Institute of Architects
for having written the best news

night was an engraved gold

State Official Files

To Leud New Slate

A band of Montgomery Coun-
ty Republicans led by John r.
Reeves, Maryland secretary of
state. today fired the opening
oalvo in a campaign to take
over the party's organization in
the county.
Mr.. Reeves. a Bethesda attor-
ney, announced he will file as
a candidate for the Montgom-
cry County Republican Central
Committee at the head of a
slate seeking to GUST all seven
of the present committee men,
bers.
Six Seeking Reelection.
He said names of other can
didates on his slate will be dis
closed at a later date. Six of
the present committee members
have announced for reelection
IN the June 28 primary.
THE need for a rehabilitation
of the committee is apparent to
all active Republicans" he said.
1T is hoped that those who are
interested in developing a strong
organization will join with us
in a move to add new faces and
new strength to the committee"
He said county Republicans
are dissatisfied with the COM
mittee's utter lack of organiza-
ton and "half-hearted support
of Gov. McKeldin.'
The committee, Mr.. Reeves
charged. has failed to organize
and rally support in the up
county area and in Silver Spring.
Lack of Republican organiza-
ton in the upper county was at
tributed by Mr.. Reeves to in
activity of the committee chair
man, Walter w. Dawson. Mont
gomery County States attorney.
Cites Democratic Activity.
The secretary of state said
his group, composed in part of
former members Of the Eisen-
hover for President Club in 1852
believes stronger organization is
needed to combat increased
Democratic activity in the
county. He said the present
committe will not effectively
support Gov. McKeldin's bid for
reelection.
1.-THE committee members are
openly contemptuous of him.
Mr.. Reeves declared.
He also attacked the heads Of
the Washington Suburban SAM

Lack Of Time

Polio Tests
Montgomery Moy
Vuccinute Children
At End of Season

Montgomery County will not
take part in trial polio vaccine
tests originally scheduled among
elementary school children in
some 200 areas throughout the
country this spring.
The incubation of up to 1880
first. second and third graders
in Montgomery was called of
officially yesterday by DR.. Robert
H. Riley. head of the State
Health Department.
A cloud of gloom hung over
a conference of public health,
school and medical officials yes
terday as they met to continue
planning for the tests. only to
learn they had been called off.
Agree With State.
The group was quick, how
ever, to join with DR.. v. L. Ell
licott, health officer, in ex-
pressing faith in the States de-
ciSion.
The State and county were
ready to. proceed with the tests
if the vaccine could have been
furnished by the April deadline

advice of its polio technical adj

veyed by the Maryland officials
April deadline; second, the vac
cine. therefore, would not be
available in time to complete all
three injections in Montgomery
prior to the onset of the polio
season.
Too Much Risk.
The calculated risk involved
in. not completing the inocula-
tions until June would be great,
DR.. Ellicott said. He pointed out
that in three of the last six
years one case each has occurred
in the test age group in May or
up to June II. If a child were
stricken during the incubation
period, the vaccine might be
blamed or results of the test
might be inconclusive.
Early reports of local repre-
sentativeS of the National Foun-
dation for Infantile Paralysis in
Dictated big affirmative response
from parents wanting their chill
dren to participate in the test.
One public school reported par
ents of l62 of 275 children al
ready had approved. Another
parochial school reported 100
per cent requests.
DR.. Ellicott said he hoped the
vaccine test program could be
carried out in the county at the
end of the polio season.
Yesterdays action meant that
thousands of hours spent by
volunteers. school and health
officers. nurses and about 100
doctors went down the drain.
After the conference Mrs. Lii
liam McNish, who has been acting
as the local polio foundation
chapters liaison, began packing
her request forms, reminder
cards and information pamphlets
to ship them back to the founda-
tons headquarters.

ish boys and girls.
The meals are wonderful, and
the childrens' appetites enormous.
There are two kitchens, one for
milk dishes and the other for
meat. (Only kosher m e at is
served, of course.) A fine rabbi
and his wife are there. Friday
night services are inspirational.
All the children must wear white.
Prayers are said before and after
meals. Hebrew songs are sung by
the children, and thoroughly en-
joyed.
The activities at the camp are
so varied, and include swimming,
water skiing, canoeing, horseback
riding, archery, riflery, dramatics,
art, photography, dancing, fish
ing, all kinds of ball games, arts
and crafts, and many more. Chill
dren can choose as many as they
care to. In fact, they are encour-
aged to do so. There is a rest
period during the afternoon, and
again they go in for activities, and
swimming. There are swimming
instructors who watch the chill
dren constantly.
Actually, Camp Belle Aire is
more than a camp-it is a pro-
ject! Yet, everything runs
smoothly, thanks to the tireless
efforts of Mrs. Komisar, who has
had years of experience along
these lines. The cabins are roomy,
and well kept. Prizes are given
for the best looking hunks. Nat
urally, everyone tries to Guido
everyone else.
There are group camping trips,
mountain climbing trips, ma
ture study trips, canoe trips-in
fact, there is constant preparing
for trips.
I could go on writing about
Camp Belle Aire, but realize that
space is limited. 1t would be hard
to say whether the small children
or the teen-age group enjoys
camp life more. The latter, being
at the awkard age, are usually
difficult to control, as most mo-
theirs can testify. However, at the
camp, surrounded by other boys
and girls their own age, they tend
to throw off some of these COM
plexes. This feature alone makes
Camp Belle Aire priceless.
We consider our stay a most
exhilarating experience, and are
proud that we have so fine a camp
at our disposal for our children.

stock, and of the Christian or
other. religion-then he doesn't
feel so badly about the fact that
American citizenship has been
given to Hebrews who practice
(or who try hard not to practice),
the Jewish religion. The idea of
reciprocity is a powerful one. We
have ceased to be refugees who
were granted a haven and a
citizenship; we are now people
who by choice are Americans,
since if we did not so choose, is
not Israel wide open to us?
Therefore, if you will pardon
this long letter, I feel that the

Dear Major Moscovitz:
My husband and I have just
returned from Camp Belle Aire
where we visited our son.
Camp Belle Aire is a Jewish
camp located 9 miles from Sparta,
Tennessee in the Cumberland
mountains, surrounded by some
of the most gorgeous scenery
imaginable. At the time, most of
the country was enveloped by
sweltering heat, but we were
amazed to find the weather SO
agreeable there.
I am writing this because I'm
sure it will interest many parents,
who are anxious to send their
children to a good camp, and at
the same time, one that will
stimulate the principles of Juda-
ism. Camp Belle Aire does all
this, and more.
There are about 200 children,
who are constantly supervised by
almost a hundred councillors, all
picked for their capability. This
in itself assures the children OF
personal attention. Mrs. Bea .Ko-
misar, director of the camp, her
self a mother of five children, is

that the children came from Il

Using the Jewish religion
Whence did the idea of the
international Jew that cursed
expression that is associated with
the infamous Protocols of Zion,
come? It came logically enough
frona the fact that in every coun-
try there were 'Jews'-in France
there were French Jews, in Ger
many there were German Jews,
in America there were American
Jews-We were Jews first; natur-
ally, then, the concept of the In
ternational Jew comes into
being.
The creation Of the State of
Israel has already begun to make
a perceptible change. In the Cen
tile mind there is growing an
awareness of the fact that there
are no longer Jews here, and
there and everywhere; now they
begin to understand that there
is also in the world a Hebrew
land q am now in 1854, and we
call that state by the name OF
TsraelO. In Israel there are Israeli
citizens; most of them are Israeli
citizens of Hebrew stock of the
Jewish religion; there are also
Israeli citizens of British stock OF
the Protestant religion, and Israeli
citizens of (Syrian) Arab stock OF
the Islamic religion. And since
this is now a fact, then the Gen.
tile in America looks upon his
neighbors-upon us-with differ
ent eyes-he Identifies us with
himself; we are also Americans;
dimly he perceives that our Jew
ishness or our Hebrewness is now
secondary-because, if it were
really primary, we wouldn't be
here, we would be over there in
Israel, just as the Irish American
whose Irishness or Catholicness
was primary would be over in
Catholic Ireland Tor perhaps in
that peculiar thing called Vatican
City,.
It is true that not one so-called
Zionist out of a hundred has ever
thought of Zionism in those terms
but if you will 60 deeply into
Zionist philosophy, it is all there
by implication. When you in
Jacksonville can say to your
neighbor, the Gentle, that Israeli
citizenship is open to the Ameri-

New Faces in Congress
By Don S. Warren

Representative Carl Thomas

service in the House, had about
decided last spring to retire
from politics, although he is
only 10 years, old.
The death Of Nebraska's jun
Tor Senator Dwight Griswold on
April 10, however, changed the
picture.
Mr.. Curtis, short, balding,
round-faced, made a bid for the
Republican nomination and won
1t over Gov. Robert Crosby, who
was preferred by President Eli
senhower. Mr.. Curtis won easily
In the November election.
Opposed Foreign Aid.
In the House, Mr.. Curtis had
voted consistently against for
eign aid and opposed public
housing. But he went along with
the Eisenhower administration S
flexible farm support program
and defense and tax plans.
As a member of the House, his
