the Divine Sarah joined. Once,
when she was about to begin a
series of one-night stands, a
friend asked her.
What play are you going to
appear in this season."

relating the fixture to furniture

farm situation has steadily
worsened under an administra-
ton that embraces flexible price

tressing rigidity Of mind"
Mr.. Butler also messaged Mr..
Snow. accusing Mr.. Eisenhower
of having falsely promised the
farmers Government l.rice sup
ports at 90 per cent of parity
the legally-determined fair price
standard.
"Three years ago, the farmer
could look upon the Government
as his friend that had helped

By the Associated Press

Senator Hickenlooper. Repub-
lican Of Iowa. said today the
Democrats viii be treading sun
sound ground" If they attack
President Eisenhower's foreign
policies in next years political
campaign.
Senator Hickenlooper, q Sem
ate Foreign Relations Committee
member, vigorously disputed
Adlai e. Stevenson's criticism of
the Eisenhower international
program In an article in Look
magazine.
Mr.. Eisenhower's most seri-
Gus failures" In Office stem from
foreign policies of ''bluff and
backdowh." wrote Mr.. Steven
son. the 1852 Democratic presi-
Dental nominee who Is expected
to announce soon his availability
for the nomination again in
1855.
Mr.. Stevenson said Mr.. Eisen-
hower's international policies are
aimed alternately at pleasing
both right wing and liberal
wings" Of the Republican Party.
Mr.. Stevenson and Paul M. But
~ler. Democratic national chair
man, also attacked Mr.. Eisen-
hower's farm program record in
separate statements.
Double-Edged Attack
Senator Hickenlooper inter-
preted Mr.. Stevenson's Look
article remarks as indicating
Democratic plans to criticize
the Presidents foreign policies
in the 1856 campaign, as well
as his domestic programs. The
Senator defended Mr.. Eisen-
hower's foreign program and
declared Republicans will be
ready to meet any such attacks.
Mr.. Stevenson said Mr.. Eisen-
howeris 1858 talk of unleash
ing" Chinese Nationalists on
Formosa for a possible attack on
the Red China mainland Shook
our alliances and invited war
IN the Formosa Strait :"
He said this "prsdicament
which still plaques the Eisen-
hover administration-and us"
was brought about by Mr.. Eisen-
hower's desire to please Senators
Knowland Of California, the
Senate Republican leader. and
Bridges of New Hampshire
chairman Of the Senate G. o. P.
Policy Committee.
Common policy objectives of
both parties have been subordi-
mated to the maintenance of a
spurious facade of Republican
unity" Mr.. Stevenson said.
Letters to Minnesota Farmer

dent EisenhoWer's record on ag-
rtculture was in a letter to Henry

day of the kings choosing. Esther
looked especially beautiful. and
sh, was selected by Ahasuerus to
be his wife and queen.
Now, it came to pass, that King
Ahasuerus advanced a man by
the name of Hannah to the highest
post of office. He made him the
v.ceroy of all the land; and all the
people in the kings court bowed
to Hannah; but Mordecai refused
to bow before Hannah. Hannah be-
came very angry with Mordecai,
and because of Mordecai, Hannah
came to hate all the Jews. He told
the king, that the Jews were a
bad element of the population.
They did not obey the orders OF
the land; they did not speak the
native tongue; and they were an
undesirable influence upon the
rest of the people.
He then obtained permission
from the king TO kill all the Jews.
Haman cast LOT. which was call
ed a Pur. and the day was set. The
Jews were to die on the fourteenth
dav of Adar. Mordecai discovered
one plan. Thus. he came to Esther
and beseeched her TO save her
people.

WhyWe Celebrate Purim

Esther approached the king. FL
aally, she persuaded him to save
the Jews. She also received per-
mission to destroy the enemies of
the Jews. In Shushan, this grant
was carried out on the next day,
the fifteenth day of Adar. Hannah
and his ten sons were hanged, and
Mordecai became the viceroy in
Humans place.
Since that time. we celebrate
Purim. on the fourteenth day of
Adar. in open cities: if is observed
on the fifteenth day of Adar in
walled cities. The thirteenth day
of Adar is a day of fasting. Fast
of Esther). and the fourteenth day
Of Adar is holiday. on which we
attend the synagogue. We read the
Megilla. 1.-THE story of Esther).
chanting with special melody.
The main event of the holiday
is the evening festival meal, cele-
brated with haman-taschen (tri-
angular cakes filled with seed)
and kreplach. The drinking OF
wine and whiskey is an event of
this special occasion.
AS we all know. Jews have a
virtue in not being drunkards.
However. on PuriIn. it is not only
customary. but it is mitzvah TO
drink and be merry. In fact. the
Gemurah tells US TO drink to the
extent that one does not realize
the difference between cursing
Hannah and blessing Mordecai.
On Purim, we send gifts to
friends and make special dona-
tons to the poor. In the old coun-
try, both men and boys visited
from house to house, wearing
masks and portraying various
characters of the story of Esther.
This custom is a very old one. 1t,
too, is mentioned in Gemurah.
Purim is the celebration of the
victory over Hannah: righteous
ness over evil. In every generation
we have Humans who wish TO de-
stroY US. We are not always 50
fortunate as those Jews OF the
time of Esther. During our tragic
experience of about twelve or
thirteen years ago. we lost SIX
million of our brethr en-. liquidated
by the modern Hannah. Hitler.
But. we have survived. We are
badly wounded. but we live and
will continue to live. because it is
our mission to carry the torch or
justice and knowledge among the
nations.

TO know and respect each other
for the PHILOSOPHERS and abilities
each of US has. We learn TO value
others for what they are: People
like ourselves who have hopes and
fears like our own.
when we first come to the hos

uncertain how we will be re-

we will be treated in a hospital
where we do not pay. Will they

There's much more than Public
Relations Director Smith tells me
about the National Jewish Hospi-
tai, the large job it does to make
bad lungs good again, the tireless
researches of the doctors, the
hopeful program for expansion
and the needs of this hospital.
(The needs, of course, are met by
the kindness of Jews all over the
country. And, on that account,
