policemen and the movement Of

1t was full day for us. I attend
ed services at the Great Synagogue
Yeshurun, sitting in a balcony for
the first time in my life. The men,
intoning their Sabbath prayers,
brought back to me the memory
of my grandfather, and the service,
though very different, touched me
deeply.
We attended the Oneg Shabbot in
the home of Chief Rabbi Herzog
after the service and were delight
ed with the sweetness, strength,
wisdom and humor of this charm
ing man. A group of Mizrachi chill
dren from all over the world came
in later for bit of sermon and
his blessing.
AFTER A HASTY visit to the
BeZalel Museum, which is filled
with exquisite religious relics Of
many periods and from many coun-
tries, we returned to the Eden Ho-
tel. 1t was delightful to lunch with
Rabbi Josiah Haberman of New
Jersey and his wife, who had been
our companions at the hotel in Tel
Aviv. Also at lunch with us was
Eliezer Livneh, member of the
Knesset. Mr.. Livneh is a member
of the Mapai, the dominant political
party in Israel. But he is recog-
nized as a rebel and an independ-
ent political leader. He has broken
party lines many times - a rare
thing in Israel. He analyzed for us
the party structure in Israel, and
we concluded that we much pre-
ferred the American two-party Sys-
tenn, with all it's faults.
A late afternoon tea at the home
of Professor and Mrs. Dushkin of
the Hebrew University gave me the
opportunity to meet many writers
and Hadassah and University peo-
pie as well as other visiting Ameri-
cans. The latter included the top
echelon of Hadassah from New
York, visiting Israel for the Medi-
cal School building meeting.
OUR SIGHTSEEING the next
two days covered as much of Je-
ruSalem as possible, considering
that many spots were off-limits and
surrounded by military. Among
these was the tomb of King David
on Mount Zion.
But we saw the tombs of the
Sanhedria, the UN House, the Kib-
butz Ramat Rachel, facing Bethle-
hem; many Christian churches,
converts and retreats. By the way,
can you think of any reason why
the American press neglects to tell
it's public that, of the very few
holy places left in Israel (moSt Of
them are in Jordan), every one is
in the hands of some Catholic sect
or other? I must confess to some
feeling of irritation, for instance,
at having to see the Caves of Eli
jah the prophet, in Haifa, under
the altar OF a Catholic convent.
THE OLD Meah Shearim quar-
ters of the very religious were so
dirty and ill-kempt that it was hard
to appreciate that one building,
for example, held 10 small syna-
gogues. But this, too, is part of
the color of Jerusalem.
Our trip to suburban Jerusalem
included the Tomb of HerZl, the
new home for maladjusted children
being built by the B'nai Birth
Women's Council, to be opened
this fall, and the new Louise Water
man Wise Youth Hostel. These are
in the area overlooking Elm Karem,
where HadaSsah is building its new
hospital and medical school. Near
by is the Kiriya, a new building

ton spot, or rest home, as it's
called in Israel, where members
of Kupath Cholim, the Workers
Sick Fund, can come by paying a
modest amount. Or, if there is
room, any Israeli can vacation
here.
We saw beautifully-kept rooms,
dining and recreation rooms and
grounds where the members OF the
Kibbutz work to enhance the in
come of the group by helping to
maintain the rest home.
OUR DRIVER HAD a family in
the KibbutZ, and we were pleased
to be asked to eat lunch with them.
The food was good, hearty, plain
and in ample quantity, and our
companions were a happy, relaxed
group of people of all ages, except
children.
We were thoroughly astonished TO
see an American Negro in the din
ing hall. We were told that he
was a member of the Kibbutz, at
tending its Ulpan Ga governments
sponsored Hebrew learning pro-
ject). His name was Ben McKinny.
He told us he was from Illinois and
enjoyed living in Israel He said
he wants to stay and, although he
is having trouble with Hebrew, he
is determined to master it. He said
he found no discrimination except
against the Christians. But he
wouldn't own up to being Chris
tian And so we were left in doubt
as to his exact status-but not as
to his satisfaction at being in Is
rael:
JERUSALEM TURNED out to be
not the ideal spot to arrive at On
the particular Sabbath eve when
We reached there. For the worst
Arab attack waged against the
Holy City since the end of the war
was just over.
The streets to the King David
Hotel, where we had reservations,
were cordoned off by soldiers, and
we were forced to stay at the more
centrally-located Eden Hotel. Later
we were glad that we did, since it
was one block from the KneSset
Qsraeli parliamenD, and we met
or saw many of the cabinet MEM
bers and members of the Knesset,
for most of them eat lunch at the
Eden.
When 1 walked to the King David
for our mail that afternoon, un-
derstood why no car was allowed
into the area. The central lobby
of that lovely hotel had been ma
chine-gunned. Five bullet holes had
pierced the plate glass window fac
ing the terrace which looks onto
the walls of the Old City.
ATTEMPTING TO WALK back
to the road to catch cab, I got
lost and eventually saw the Ameri-
can flag flying in the next block.
It was the American consulate,
and was happy to accept a ride
down the hill in consulate car
with some stenographers who were
leaving for the day.
We had purposely planned our
trip to spend Shabbath in Jerusa-
lem. The Arab Legion of Jordan
had done its best to ruin Shabbath
for all of Israel. For there were
many dead and wounded. But it
was a quiet day, except for the
appearance of many soldiers and

ConstdntIne BroWn- So
Honds-Off Policy on Indo-Chino
1t Regarded Significant That Eisenhower Promised
y. S. Will Not Go to War There Unless Congress Acts

The loud noise over Senator
Joseph Mccarthy tends to
obscure an important issue
brought out by President
Eisenhower's press conference
on Wednesday. Answering a
question about what this coun-
try would do If the American
military technicianS now in
Wet Nam were captured or
killed by the Wet Mini forces
he permitted himself to be
quoted: There is going to be
no involvement of America in
war unless it is a result Of con-
stitutional process that is
placed upon Congress to de-
clare it,"
The Interpretation placed on
these words by members of
Congress is that there will be
no new entanglements such as
the war in Korea without Sen
ate and House approval.
The Presidents statement Is
also interpreted to mean that
even If the United Nations Sc
curity Council ordered military
measures, as it did in Korea.
the administration would sub
NIT their physical implementa-
ton to the legislative branch of
the Government.
A number of political observ-
ers who place a magnifying
glass on everything the Presi-
dent says in the hope Of find
ing a rift and lack of unity
in the Government, confided
that this was a disavowal of
the policies announced by Sec
rotary Of State Dulles in con-
currence with the White House
and National Security Council
last January. At that time the
Secretary spoke about our
capacity and determination to
retaliate instantly" in areas
of our own choosing in the
event Of a renewed Red ag-
erosion.
What President Eisenhower,
Secretary Dulles and the Ma
tional Security Council had in
mind then was the explosive
situation in the Far East and
particularly in Korea. News
had reached the top echelons

Of our Government that the
Chinese Communists, after
having completed the construc-
ton Of a 'Maginot line" along
the 38th Parallel and on both
sea coasts of North Korea, had
started to move troops. heavy
military equipment and hum
dreds of jet planes into that
area in defiance of the armi-
stice terms. There was then a
danger, which still persists,
that the Red forces might
strike at the allied lines which
are today at a disadvantage
compared with the situation in
June. 1851. when Gen. Mat
thew Ridgway on orders from
Washington asked Gen. Nam II
to open armiStice negotiations.
The statement of the Sec
rotary of State, fully Endorsed
by Pre- Sident Eisenhower,
warned the enemy that in the
event Of an attack the United
States would not confine its
activities to defense but would
strike wherever it would hurt
the Reds most. The statement
contained the threat that our
Air Force might be let loose on
Manchuria, the vital industrial
center of Red China.
Informed sources close to the
White House say that Gen.
EiSenhoWer'S statement of
Wednesday in no way alters
Mr.. Dulles warning of January
IL. We are engaged in a Ko-
rean war; it has the tacit in
dorsement of Congress and
no further concurrence con-
corning our military operation
need be asked from that body.
President Eisenhower obvi-
ously wished to convey to the
members Of Congress in his
quoted statement an assurance
that there would not be a
second Korea" in Indo- China.
Some voices have been raised
on the Senate floor expressing
concern that the sending of a
group of Air Force mainte-
nance men to Hanoi might get
us into a direct shooting war
in that French protectorate.
The President gave the neces-

tract for small tank parts, tes-
titled his company was cleft
holding the bag" by elimination
Of Chrysler from the tank field.
Mr.. Robbins said his company
spent $568.000 of it's own funds
on special equipment, Chrysler
put in more than 100000 and
the foundry got $4l4,000 of spe-
cial defense tax benefits.
Mr.. Robbins said he was I'M
able to use the special Govern
ment tank machinery in his nor
NAL work and so could not bene-
fit from the tax writeoffs because
"the market has gone to pieces"
He said he had been forced to
lay off 229 of his 679 workers.
Deputy Undersecretary of De-
tense Frank H. Higgins told the
committee it would be irnpossi-
BILE to award defense contracts
unless the Government paid for

Many Will Oppose
General Bill Unless
Cut Is Included
By Robert K. Welsh

A large proportion Of House
; Democrats will vote against the
entire tax revision bill next week
unless the measure is amended
to include individual income tax
relief. 1t was indicated today.
There were increasing signs.
| too, that the massive Internal
Revenue Code of 1854" might
be delayed for two or three
months in the Senate even if it
squeezes unchanged through the
House.
The 875-page bill was cleared
by the House Rules Committee
late yesterday for seven hours of
general debate next Wednesday
and Thursday. Democrats in a
party caucus earlier agreed to
center on a move next Thursday
to recommit the measure to the
Ways and Means Committee with
instructions to include forth
with" a provision to raise per-
Sonal income tax exemptions
from the present $500 to $500.
Aims at Dividend Tax Cut.
The same motion would direct
the committee to knock out the
bills proposal to cut taxes on
income received by stockholders
from dividends distributed by
corporations.
Democratic Leader Rayburn
said his party colleagues have
not yet determined" whether
to vote against the bill If they
lose on the recommittal motion.
It was learned, however, that
many House Democrats already
have told the leadership they
will oppose the measure in that
event.
One influential Democratic
member contended that defeat
of the bill. under such circum-
stances would not be a disaster,
Democratic or otherwise
General Overhaul.
AS it stands at this time, the
bill would overhaul the Federal
tax structure in such a way as
to afford tax relief totaling
about $1.4 billion next year to
business and many individuals.
1t also would continue for one
year the corporation income tax
rate Of So per cent which would
otherwise go down to Al per
cent April /. Defeat of the bill
would permit the corporation in
come tax decrease to take effect
and thus cost the Treasury about
$1.2 billion in revenue. But the
Treasury would still be 5000
million ahead because defeat of
the bill would block the sug-
gested $1.4 billion in tax reve-
nue. loss. this Democratic mem
Der explained.
That Interpretation naturally
arouses protests from Republi-
cans, especially Ways and Means
Chairman Reed. He insisted to
the Rules Committee that this
first comprehensive revision of
the internal revenue laws in al
most 80 years is essential at this

Mr.. Hargrove, who wrote the

tails.

time. apart from any other as
poets of overall tax program in
Congress.
The magnitude and bitterness
OF the coming House battle on
the big bill was further empha-
sized by efforts of each party
to strengthen its own lines and
attract support from the other
side. Speaker Martin and Mr.
Rayburn conceded they might
lose a few votes from their re-
spective ranks.
Whatever the House does to
the bill next week. many of its
members wonder what will hap
pen in the Senate. Several
democratic members predicted
today that it would be held up
there for many weeks either by
finance Committee hearings or
prolonged debate. and might
eventually wind up with some
personal income tax reductions

Envoy 10 Vatican
Opposed by Baptists

Representatives Of II million
Baptists in America yesterday re-
affirmed their opposition to the
appointment of an ambassador
to the Vatican.
The Baptist Joint Committee
on Public Affairs, in its semi
annual meeting, declared that IL
acted in response to recent re-
ports that President Eisenhower
might soon appoint an ambassa-
dor to the Vatican State.
The resolution asserted the
"unShaken conviction that any
diplomatic relationship between
the United States Government
and the Vatican, whether BY
means Of a personal representa-
tive Of the President or through
a regularly appointed Ambassa-
dor with the consent and ap-
proval Of the Senate, is a viola
ton Of the historic American
principle Of the separation Of
church and state"
The committee said it deplores
the revival Of "this controver.
sial issue :. +. at a time when the
American people are plagued by
disunity and controversy, anc
when unity is a paramount anC
urgent necessity"

David Lowence-
Networks Policy on Mccarthy
Government-Gronted Monopoes Such as Radio onc
TV Should Be Mindful of the Public Interest
David lawrence

The Columbia Broadcasting
System and the National
Broadcasting Company have
both made a serious mistake
in Judgment by denying the
right of reply to a United
States Senator in a contro-
versy of public interest in
which he is a principal news
figure.
For many years now at
torneys for the broadcasting
companies have rightly been
contending in the courts that
radio is entitled to the protec-
ton of the freedom of the
press" clause in the Bill Of
Rights of the Constitution.
Everywhere that reporters
from newspapers are admitted,
the radio networks have
sought and in most instances
have been granted admission
on an equality with the press.
For two major networks to
claim the privileges of the
press and yet to deny their
obligation to give a contro-
versial figure the right of reply
when he is attacked on their
networks is a bad precedent
on the record which will plague
them for years to come unless
and there is still time-they
reverse their recent decision.
The networks have a legal
right to deny Senator Nc
CarthY free space on the air.
He cannot successfully force
them to do so by court action,
because the right to decide
what shall be put on the net
works belongs solely to the
broadcaSting companies, and
no Government rule would be
constitutional which held
otherwise. Even the require
ment Of law stipulating that
during political campaigns
the opposing candidates or
parties must be given equal
time is of doubtful constitu-
tionality. Either the radio is
free from Government censor
ship and dictation all the time
or not at all.
But, precisely because the
two broadcasting companies
between them control the pro-
gram time of most of the ra-
dio outlets in America. they
