PLAIN TALK
Lady Gets An Answer
BY ALFRED sEGAL

Cd1lGO up ana naIlOGQ n0r paln-
ed mind over to one of the pro-
fessors of the Hebrew Uuion Col
lege. The Hebrew Union College
as practically everybody knows
produces all the Reform rabbis.
Indeed, 1 am told it is now the
worlds leading school for rabbis.
So I could feel sure that the H.
U. c. professor could provide more
comfort for this lady's mind than
I. Myself, I am no more than a
fellow who had a couple of years
at the Hebrew Union College SO
years ago.
The lady had called me up in
a moment when I was deep in an
other controversial matter alto
gether. In my living room was
looking in on a TV boxing fight
between my fellow townsman Ez-
card Charles and Mr.. Holman. In
the third round the telephone
rings and there's that lady pour
ing her questions into my ear.
'Mr. Segal, have problem"
and this was it: She said she
is keeping a strictly kosher house
:. ''But even as keep so kosher
l am beset by questions of history
and ritual. Just why am kosher?
"You see, Mr.. Segal, my house
is kept kosher not because of my
own principles in the matter. 1
keep kosher on account of my old
mother who lives with us. I re-
spect my mothers opinion in this
and my questions have nothing at
all to do with the performance of
my moral duty to my mother.
But I can't help asking my
self, what's really the reason for
kosher? You see, / am woman
who doesn't just naturally accept
a ritual because it has come down
from ancient times. I want to
know why.
where did kosher come from
and how? Is kosher sanitary
regulation or what? Rest assured
don't intend to change the kosh-
er in my house as long as my
mother is with me. But do like
to know the exact why of kosher
in my house outside the fact that
l must respect my mothers die
tary predictions. And why did
my grandmother keep kosher and
all my grandmothers before her
through all the centuries?"
BY the time the lady was
through with asking me all this,
the controversy of Mr.. Charles VS..
Mr.. Holman was in its sixth
round and had only four more to
60. went on with them to the
tenth round in which Mr.. Charles
came to victory by decision. !
That having been decided, there
was still left on my mind my own
indecision as TO the lady's inquiry
about kashrut. Whe, why, why?
she had been asking. So, next day
looked up the Hebrew Union
College professor who is not only
professor but rabbi also.
Professor" / said, please give
me the reason for kosher. Is it a
sanitary regulation or what?"
The professor referred me to
Leviticus, Chapter 20 where it is
commanded: 81 am the Lord your
God which hath separated you
from other people We shall not

Presidential Timber Falls
Into I Glasses, Study Says
By MARY McGRORY


Amid the racking uncertainties
as to who win bt tPthe presidential
candidates. one thing at least
seems certain today: The stand
ard bearers, If they run true to
history. win be representative Of
one Of seven categories.
This reinsurance comes in the
form Of q booklet issued by the
Brookings Institution, called

scholars. Paul +. David and
Ralph M. Goldman. who have
analyzed the outcome Of the
smoke filled rooms of both
parties since 1881. They find
that the delegates have, whether
they knew 1t or not, always
chosen men easily classified un-
der seven headings.
Glasses Broken Down
Here they are:
/. Inheritance by understudy.
William Howard Taft 1908. Is
IN example.
2. Inheritance by secondary
leader. Alfred e. Smith. 1928,
Who may not have cared for the
designation. is labeled one OF
these.
8. From ranks Of inner group.

ballot as q Republican. qualifies.
4. From an outside inner
group, Charles Evans Hughes,
1915, is representative Of this
rather bathing classification.
S. Successful insurgent fac
tionalism. Thomas E. Dewey.
1914, appears to answer to this
description, as does Franklin p.
Roosevelt, 1882. although they
had little else In common.
6. Coordinate factionalism;
successful factional leader can
didate. Mr.. Willkie, 1940. and
Mr. Eisenhower. 1852, both At

this heading.
