tough, hard bitten fanatics of
Nazism." They were convicted of
crimes including participation in
the numbers and cruelties of the
concentrate camps"
Some observers are, meanwhile,
indicating concern over the wis
dom of trusting former Nazis as
reliable allies against Commu-
nism. David Lawrence, a con-
sentative Republican publisher,
was one of the first to urge remili-
tarization of Germany. Lawrence
recently reported from Europe,
however, that former Nazis high
up in the diplomatic service of the
West German Government are
busily engaged in stratagems
looking toward an eventual de-
tachment of Germany from the
West"
Part of the price paid by Wash
ington for German consent TO re-
arm was the release of Nazi crimi-
nails announced in the new White
House Executive Order. Secretary
of State John Foster Dulles was
asked some time ago by German
HLa~aaI1o- XaNrad Adnoa1,ap -
speed up the freeing of the rela-
lively few Nazis still in U. S. Gus
todY. The Bonn Government felt
such a gesture would facilitate
the orientation Of German public
opinion toward remilitarization.
Secretary Dulles agreed. He en-
Enthusiastically urged the transfer
of all American-held Nazis to
German control.

Editors note: The observance Of the major
Jewish festival of Shevuoth begins at shutdown on
Thursday. May 18th. Our readers will find this
article Of timely interest.1
Shevuoth Pentecost) is known by four names
Shevuoth, the feast of weeks; Yom Habechrorim,
the day of the first ripe grain; Chac Hakuzer, the
feast of harvest; and Zman Nation Toroseinu, the
advent of Gods gift to the Torah, at Mount Sinai.
From the time that they entered Canaan, until
the destruction of the second temple, the Hebrews
were an agrarian people, toiling the earth. After
all their efforts, they waited until God gave them
a harvest. Then, they proclaimed a holiday, giving
thanks to the Lord for their manifold blessings.
Shevuoth is unlike Passover, in that when the
Jews celebrated freedom from bondage, they were
yet a mixed flock, and they did not trust their
leader. They were afraid of the future, always
accusing Moses of bringing them to the desert to
die. Constantly, they reminded him, that in Egypt
they had at least, meat and fish, never realizing
what God and Moses intended to do with them.
But, on Shevuoth, this had all passed. During the
forty years in the desert, all who had come out Of

ShevuOth, the Feast Of Weeks

Egypt had died. New generations sprahg up. They
conquered the country that God had promised
them. They were free and in their own homes, each
on his allotted portion of land. They, therefore, felt
confident, because God was with them. They were
one nation, though of separate tribes. They were
but one people. And, this feeling of exhaltation is
reflected in the holiday of Shevuoth, for it was
then that they witnessed the rewards of their hard
labor. Today, our synagogues and Jewish homes
are decorated with green foliage, as a symbol OF
new life and ripeness.
According to tradition, as already mentioned
above, the Torah was given to the ~Israelites on
Shevuoth. Therefore, the chapter in Exodus, deal
ing with giving and receiving of both the Torah
and the Ten Commandments, is read in the syna-
gogues. The Book of Ruth is also read at this time,
because according to tradition, King David, a
descendant of Ruth, died on Shevuoth.
Ruth is a beautiful story of love and devotion,
of simple farming life in the time of the Judges.
It is an ideal story that has been used for many
subjects of literature and art. An account OF the
story follows.

PLAIN TALK
BY ALFRED SEGAL
OLD GIRL OF MINE

x0O4 donovan OF me SdSS1OnAS4
Monastery in Baltimore has sent
me a proposal to be bridegroom
in marriage with the Catholic
Church.
Awhile ago, in this column, I
reported an earlier invitation
from Father Donovan who de-
scribed the Christian symbolism
that's in the New Testament's
wedding at Cana. Ut was there
the water was turned into wine.)
And would I come along to be the
bridegroom at another such we'd
ding-that is to say, the marriage
of Segal to the Church.
I replied to Father Donovan
that I was already well and hap
PLY married to that old. old girl
of mine. Judaism. Our marriage
had occurred at the base of Sinai
and I have remained a contented
bridegroom.
Now Father Donovan renews
his invitation in the gracious way
of the Cody man he is; none of
the arrogance of some mission
aries I have met. These have
given me a. feeling of being insult
ed, of being an awful sinner
whom hell was waiting for, to
burn up.
Father Donovan is inviting me
so kindly. He thinks Of himself as
a brother Of mine. and as for my
wedding at MI. Sinai. he says.
You should remember I was
there. too. In fact. ! thought the
wedding on that day was the most
beautiful ceremony the world had
ever seen."
eyes, Father Donovan, that was
a great, big day for me-that day
met my everlasting bride who is
Judaism, amid the thunder and
lightning and the Ten Command
ments coming down that hill with
Moses.)
Father Donovan rejoices at
events after my wedding that day
II rejoiced." he says "over the
sight of the bridegroom carrying
his bride over the threshold Of
Jordan into the new home called
the Holy Land. Anyone would
have thought this marriage was a
good thing. This couple seemed
destined to live together happily
.ever-after =. But the longer I
watched the intimate life of these
two lovers the more aware I be-
came that everything was not
peaceful"
He quotes the prophet Jere-
miah's denunciation of Jews who
weren't living in faithfulness to
Judaism, their bride 1T was
enough to chill the heart within
me-" Father Donovan says. To his
view the wedding at Sinai hadn't
turned out to be a happy marriage
81 must have been overly
optimistic in expecting better
days."
So. il seems. he looks to me
maybe TO start, among Jews. a
march to another altar for another
wedding to another religion -.
God says you must return. but
you say. in effect. that no one is
going to get you to do any turn
