Student representatives from
five countries attending the 9th
Annual National Hillel Summer
Institute on September 3 heard
Rabbi Maurice B. Pekarsky, Di-
rector of B'nai Birth Hillel Foun-
dalton at the Hebrew University
in Israel and head of its Leader
ship Training Department, de-
clare that Jewish life in the mod
ern world is characterized by
search for self-definition. The
ten-day institute was held at
Camp B'nai Birth, Starlight, Pa.
'This need for self-definition in
culturally and religiously vital
terms continues within differ
ent context in Israel. National
self-definition is for the Jews of
Israel but the first step in self
discovery" declared Rabbi Pekar-
sky to the 200 selected student
leaders from Hillel Foundations
on campuses in the United States,
Canada, Great Britain, Israel and
Iran in the course of his discus
sion of dominant trends in the
cultural and religious climate
today in Israel.
The Institute, meeting in week.
long session, continued their in
quiry on the theme of american
Freedom and Jewish Identity
and also heard Rabbi Harry Kap-
Ian, HilleIs Midwest Regional
Director and head of its Founda-
ton at Ohio State University in
Columbus, urge the students to
develop strong ties with the Jew
ish community.
'The great sage Hillel taught
basic values and primary needs
and among them was the need of
individual indignation; an inte-
grafton which is achieved by in
creasing the number Of ties which
an individual develops towards
the Jewish groups of which he
is part"

Since we had eaten well, it was
time to thank Him for everything

Unknown Chemical
In Brain Found 10
Cut Blood Pressure
BY Alton L.. BlokesEee

associated ftess science Reporter.
ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., April
ia mysterious new brain
chemical eventually may help
you keep your blood pressure
/ down depsite arguments and
other emotional strains Of life
a physician said today.
This chemical is found In
nerve centers deep in the brains
of human being. cows and
horses.
Exactly what it is, is not yet
known. New experiments with
it were described by DR.. Alfred
Leimdorfer of the Stritch School
of Medicine. Loyola University
Chicago. to the Federation OF
American Societies for Expert
mental Biology.
Extracts of this nerve tissue
injected into dogs and cats cause
a deep and long fall in their
blood pressure, he said. The
nerve chemical seems to play a
role in normal regulation of
blood pressure.
Nerve impulses and emotional
strains undoubtedly play a part
in raising blood pressure, DR..
Leimdorfer said. Emotional re-
actions can bring release of hor-
mones, such as adrenalin. which
kick up blood pressure. If that
happens often enough or long
enough, arteries can become
damaged.
The brain receives all sensa-
tons and the brains control
switches regulate your reactions.
The brain thus is "the main
line of attack and defense in
this emotional struggle" DR..
Leimdorfer said. 1t regulates
what happens to you under
emotional strains.
Df. LelmQof1er SAID that In
normal animals. or perhaps peo-
pile, the presence or absence
of the strange brain chemical
can help keep blood pressure at
normal levels. Failure to make
enough of it may be a cause
sometimes of high pressure.
If the brain chemical can be
identified and purified, it might
be important in medical treat
ments of high blood pressure, he
said.

days, and enlargement of tiny
structures within the nuclei of
skin cells.
The man did not lose any hair
or sweat glands.
The mans skin cells showed
a little bit of the enlargement
from cigarette tars, but only
about as much as was produced
in skin painted with turpentine.
Areas of his skin painted with
known cancer chemicals showed
more of the enlargement within
the cells.
Six patches of his skin were
painted with cigarette tars, tur-
pentine, with non-cancer caus-
ing oil, with benzypyrene, whole
coal tar and another oil prod

Pieces of the mans skin are
removed for microscopic checkup
of any changes. A week long
test with the chemicals was per-
formed last spring, and a month
long test is being made now.

Mrs. Roosevelt Cancels Plans for Russia Jaunt When Aides Denied ViSaS

NEW YORK, R-Within hours of scheduled departure time, Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt cancelled plans Thursday for a trip to Rus sia because Soviet officials had withheld a visa for trained neWsman or Russian speaking writer to accompany her.
 At a news conference in the office of Look Magazine for which she was to make the trip to write of her observations, the widow of the former President suggested perhaps the Soviet Union was trying to force her to go on its terms or "mistrusted" her. Or, she said, it might be just ineffi- ciency,
 In any event she said this month was the only time she had available for the month-long trip so she was canceling her plans.
 Reading from a prepared state ment, Mrs. Roosevelt said visas had been granted her and her secretary, Miss Patricia Baillar- geon, but that an application for William Atwood, Paris editor for Look, had been completely ig- nored. A subsequent request was also ignored.

The Creek of Whale Oil
BY LEILA OMAN (Continued from last iSSue)

Eelayahk tried to touch Tin gook but he could not reach him. As he was pushed along by the moving crowd he suddenly re- membered his opponent in speech making. He stood by the entrance to wait for him. As the man emerged he fixed his gaze on him and glared. The spokesman of the opposing group stood and gaped at him. His jaw hanging loose in surprise and eyes round, he stared at Eelayahk. Eekayahk on tiptoes once more clawed at thin air above him. They shouted at each other but they could not hear one another. There was too much noise around them. Eelay- ahk made motions to be tearing at something. He wanted this man to give up if he had scheme up his sleeve, or he would answer to him. He knew that this man was capable of cooking up plot. Also could be in command of the men that could carry out his plan. With an effort the man came nearer to him to say something but Eelayahk went into more claWing at the thin air, and once more this man had to swallow in defeat what he had wanted to say. He self-consciously passed him and from his expression Eelayahk knew that there was not cause for anxiety from that source.
 The creek of whale oil rippled onward to the sea. As it ran over complaining rocks it gurgled and softly tangled as from many gut teral voices, unmindful of the fate it's original owners met. Along its shores, the yellow, ransidly thick substance drowned out the small shoots of young grass. Here and there in it's passage it covered protruding rocks with its scum and was now bleached yellow white by the suns hot rays. In the whale oils process, it saturat- ed the mountainside and the con- densed liquid, clear, flowed in the creek and rippled on it's way. As the whales were let drop by the eagle they cut in half and what the eagle thrived on was from the insides of the sea animals.
 What Tingook saw was as Eel ayahk had described. Here and there was a rotting carcass. Many only bones now, cluttered the mountaintop. Earlier in the morn ing he had watched the eagle take off on one of its hunting trips. He did not know how long it would be away. That would have to de- pend on whether it ran across easy prey or not. He searched for good hiding place while on the alert. Not far from the whales that were not yet reduced into rotting, he found a crevice that was large enough for him to squeeze into. He tested it and

 just a few inches away form Tin gook's agonizingly tensed body, making his world thunder each time it's claws came in contact with the crevice's mouth that is rock.
 Soon the bird tired of its swoop- ing and clawing at the opening where its prey, seemingly harm less, lay, not even squirming and screaming like frightened wea- sel would. At least the man did not show his fright as the big claws almost forked him out. In it's savage fierceness it sat on the opening, in an effort to block Tingook's escape.
 Under Tingook there were two long spears. With an effort he twisted about and somehow man. aged to have one on his top side and in his trembling hands. He singled one feather out and with the spear followed it's course. In parallel with the tough feathers of the eagles breast, he with all his might showed the deadly weapon. Instantly the bird flew. Tingook did not get up to see what the outcome would be. He quickly fixed the second spear in a position to strike again. The bird sat on the opening of the crevice once more and Tingook saw dark-red blood dripping from the breast. He waited, hoping to see blood oozing out in quantities, but between drops the time was ages long. He had just nicked the skin and he knew that the wound could not be fatal. It steadily dripped sickeningly on his fur clad body. He drove the second and the last spear same as the first but with a super human strength, strength that is lent to man only in crucial moment, he thrust it into the body of the eagle. He felt the impact as it coursed through the birds vital organs. The eagle flew off but not quick enough. AS it shot up into the air Tingook stood up to watch. With its big outstretched wings out of control it spun wild ly and as it came down the spear struck the ground first and went diagonally through it's body. The enormous wings Tapped briefly and all was still. And those that were fittest to survive triumphed once more.
 Tingook descended the noun tainside and looked at the wind ing creek where before the sum- mer is over the rendered fat of the eagle will mingle with the oil of the whales, as the nature takes it's course, while the creeks strange content rippled on it's way. Accumee

 got out to look for another place but did not find any that was more promising than this one so he stretched himself in it and rested.
 As the long summer day wore on to late afternoon, he was be- ginning to feel uneasy. He wished that the eagle would come soon. Longing for action, while not knowing what the outcome would be. Perhaps by this time tomor- row he will be just carcass, ready for decaying among the eagles spells. He looked toward them with nausea at the pit of his stomach. The impulse to run far, far away from them was great, but he had promised that he would fight to the finish of either of them. Life was dear to him, there was so much for him to live for, but now future for him was uncertain. If he lost the fight he knew that he will be just one of the many that lost their lives fighting for the ones that could not defend themselves.
 Tingook looked down on the of the mountain that cascaded down to the gully and beyond, the yellowish creek, unlike the others, oozed whale oil. The vapor did not rise from it in the cool of the evening. Only the heat waves were thick above it earlier in the day.
 He was out of his hiding place when he saw the bird coming. He scrambled into the crevice. With his head out he watched it. There it was, far above; once over it's domain it began to circle. In its sharp talons it clutched a writhing black whale that was a little larg- CT than a baluga (white Whale). When it came directly above sharp pointed boulder it hovered and let go of the whale. There was an ear-splitting bang when the whale landed on the natural instrument and was cut in half. With it's gruesome task accom- plished the eagle alighted and clumsily stalked over to the fresh ly killed whale and with it's mighty beak it seemed to dig for its meal from the whales insides.
 Tingook quietly stood up in his hiding place. His upper part out of the crevice, with his bow he let an arrow fly to let the eagle know that it's home had been invaded. The arrow thudded where Tin gook meant for it to land, but in- stead of piercing the bird it just glanced off and went wild. Tin gook was not given time to marvel in awe; as the eagle came after him he shot some more arrows at it. With his mighty bow tWanging violently, he let many fly. Each one found it's mark but arrow tips that were made to pierce any thing could not harm the bird with impenetrable feathers.
 Tingook flattened himself in the crevace and the eagles talons missed him by inches as it clawed the sides of the crevice. If it had caught him, he would be like limp weasel to be dropped on the sharp boulder. There he lay in cramped position as the enormous
