KADDISH, the Eternal Appeal Of the Soul
By RABBI LEO JUNG Rabbi Center, City

last hopes as his first care: MAY the AL
mighty bless my child, that happiness and
health be his lot; may He give him joy Of
life and strength and plenty; but, above all,
may He give him eyes to see, heart to feel
where glory lies, where duty is and honor.
May He open his heart and strengthen his
mind; may He help him and enable him to
become Jew" With this wish he closed his
eyes, commencing his soul to God.
The fathers heart beat no more The
kindly eye was closed forever. The son had
stepped into the parents shoes. He had un-
dertaken the responsibilities for the honor
of his house. And there at the open grave,
he did not lament for the Jew does not dis
play his feelings. There at the last terrible
meeting with his beloved he did not engage
in euIogies. There he stood in the presence
of the whole congregation of friends and
strangers. AS a real Jew he knew the holi-
ness of the moment and he framed his reso-
luton in the words hOlieSt to Jewish hearts;
there he opened his lips and made pledge,
holy promise: "Yissgadal Veyisskadash
Sh'meh Rabbah, Lord God, do not murmur
against Thy decree, I am child of Jewry.
Lord God hear my voice at this moment. AS
my father lived for Thee, as his life was
dedicated to Thy glory and Thy name, so do
1 declare Yissgadal Veyisskadash that Thy
great Name may be magnified and sancti-
fed as the promise of my future. So do
undertake to remember his fidelity and
never to forget my own duty"
That is the meaning of Hazkarah-that
we continue where our parents ceased; that
we do not allow the heritage of Israel to
decay for want of men who have the cour-
age to bring sacrifices in a goddess, thought
less world.
Kaddish is the eternal appeal to the divine
spark in the heart of every Jewish soul 1t is
the "river of light" the stream of idealism
in which the elect bathe for their eternal
rejuVenatiOn; from whose fire the historical
body of our people draws the secret of it's
eternity. The Kaddish is the living conscious
ness of our obligation to add Jewish assets
to those acquired by the generations before
us-to save God for the world. The great
"Remember!" of the Jew, sounding from the
dawn of history The Hazkarah which calls
out: "Our Father in heaven. We have re-
membered; we are conscious of Thy grace
and our detection. We remember our task
and our negligence; the glory of our mission
and our deep failings. Do Thou remember
oh, our God! Do Thou make an end to the
terror and the grief, the slaughter of the
innocent, the terrible night of Thy people!

BOSTON, Mar. 5.-Officials at

Democrats 10 Push
Joint Statehood Bill
For Alaska, Hawaii
By J. A. O'LeoN

Senate Democrats will push
their drive to tie Alaska to the
Hawaiian statehood bill despite
the promise of Republican lead
ers to consider both measures
separately.
Although debate started yes
terday on the Hawaiian bill. it
may be a week or more before
a vote is reached on the crucial
question Of whether to add
Alaska.
Senator Clements, Democrat.
of Kentucky. said today sup
porters of the Alaskan bill be-
lieve the only, real chance to
pass that measure this year will
be to attach it to the Hawaiian
bill, which has already passed
the House.
Senator Jackson, Democrat,
of Washington. said there are
two reasons why friends of
Alaska will continue their efforts
to add it to the Hawaiian bill.
First, he said they fear the
House would never take up
Alaskan statehood if the Senate
passes it separately. Second,
they are afraid the President
might veto a separate Alaskan
bill.
These Democratic comments
were in answer to assurances
given yesterday by Senate Re-
publican Leader Knowland that
he would call up the Alaskan bill
as soon as possible after the Ha-
waiian bill passes If they are
kept separate.
Senator Jackson said the sup
porters Of Alaska believe they
have a good chance to carry the
motion of Senator Anderson,
Democrat, of New Mexico, to put
Alaskan statehood in the Hawai-
ian bill.

of Mississippi. opened the fight

Crop Damage Caused
Coffee Price Rises,
Senators Are Told

{. Rising coffee prices are the
result of natural causes and
not sinister Vaccinations" a
spokesman for the Latin Ameri-
can countries told Senate
banking subcommittee today.
Z The witness. Horacio Cintra-
Leite. president of the Pan
American Coffee Bureau. said
he does not expect people to
continue to buy coffee if it is
priced beyond their means, but
he wanted them to know that
the increase is resulting from
the law of supply and demand.
= Mr.. Leite told the Senators
that an organized effort Ito re-
duce coffee consumption in the
United States could have serious
economic effects in this country
as we'll as Latin America.
Money Comes Back.
!, This would be true, he said,
because the $1.2 billion the
United States spent for coffee in
1852 provided a substantial part
of the $3.4 billion Latin America
spent to buy United States goods.
The witness recalled that in
ythe 1905 coffee was cheap be-
cause the supply far exceeded the
demand. Since the end of World
War II, the situation has been
reversed.
Z For the crop year ending June
30 last. Mr.. Leite said world pro-
.duction was 1878 million bags
while consumption was 1872 mil
lion bags.
Sees No Improvement.
He predicted the situation will
not improve in the immediate
future. He said he believed the
violent rise in recent months was
due to advance knowledge that
the loss in supply this year would
be great.
The subcommittee also heard
a report from three members of
sthe General Federation of Wom-
ems Clubs who recently made an
inspection tour to Brazil.

dals broke last fall. Mr.. Sprague
sold the stock for $4,000.
Mr.. Sprague said he made an
other harness race track stock
deal in 1850, when he bought
$4,000 worth of Yonkers Trot-
ting Association stock from
former State Assemblyman Nor
man F. Penny. author of the
State pari-mutuel law. The stock
today is worth around $500. 900.
In 1852 and 1853. the stock paid
him dividends of $4,000.
Another witness was John r.
Crews. Brooklyn Republican
chairman, who admitted he was
the secret owner of 400 shares
Of Yonkers Association stock held
in the name of a sister in-law.
Mr.. Crews said he paid 5000 for
the stock in 1948 and it's present
worth is more than $4,000.
Ex-State Senator Testifies.
Also on the stand was former
Republican State Senator Frank
L. Wiswall of Albany, now presi-
dent of the Saratoga Harness
Racing Association.
In 1912, Mr.. Wiswall testified,
when he was secretary to the
Harness Racing Commission, he
obtained. 5000 shares of Sara
toga stock for nothing. Mr..
Wiswall said it was held in the
name of another Stockholder
until the next year.
The investigation of the
States eight harness racing
tracks stems frem the Staying
last summer of a labor boss
whose union held a closed con-
tract at Yonkers raceway. Sub
sequent inquiries developed evil
dence of political underworld
influence at the tracks, includ-
ing pay kickbacks and employ
ment of ex-convicts at the
tracks.
The probe commission. ap-
pointed by Gov. Dewey, resumes

Special pispo,eh 10 The s,or

BUFFALO. N. Y, Jan. 9.-Bell
Aircraft Corp. announced today
it is developing a pilotless
bomber, the XB-63 Rascal for
the Air Force.
This is the first time the Ras-
cal guided missile and its manu-
facturer have been officially
identified. No further inforrha- =
ton was released by either Bell
or the Air Force.
Bell has been active in the
guided missile field since 1945
in the various missile categories
Air -to-air, air-to-surface, sur
face-to-air and surface-to-sur-
face. However. its programs
have been cloaked by security
regulations.
The scope of these activities
can be indicated by the fact that
within the last three years. Bell
has entirely converted it's prin-
cipal facility, the huge Wheat
field plant near here, to guided
missile endeavors.
The Wheatf1eld plant was the
assembly site. of thousands of
fighter planes during World War
II. Since then Bell has produced
only special research aircraft
such as the XII, the worlds first
supersonic aircraft, and the
X-1A. which flew more than
1000 miles per hour last month.
