Primocy Of Jewish
Education Recognized

NEW YORK, - (JTA) = The
primacy of Jewish education is
recognized by all elements of
American Jewry, study published
by the Institute of Jewish Affairs
of the World Jewish Congress.
The study shows that over 200
Jewish school buildings have been
erected during the past few years.
Enrolment in Jewish schools
has risen to $4,000 as contrasted
with only 100000 in 1947. The
number of all-day schools reached
approximately ITO during 1854,
with a total enrolment of over
10000 students. AS of October,
1854, Hebrew was included in the
language program of II second
airy schools in IL American cities.
In Mexico, which has the finest
Jewish educational system quail
tatively and quantatively of all
Latin American countries, the
Jewish School of Mexico City
celebrated it's 30th anniversary in
1854 by introducing several pro-
gressive innovations, the study re-
ports. There was no perceptible
growth in Jewish education in
European countries during 1854,
but significant gains were record
ed in New Zealand and South
Africa, it pointed out. An i'm
portant development in Jewish
education in the. United States
during the past year, the survey
indicates, is the application of
audio-visual aids to Jewish educa-
ton, both on the juvenile and
adult level.

Poll FaV0rS Liberal
|Immig grafton Bill

WASHINGTON, (JTA) = A
public opinion poll which found
that the United States public
favors liberal immigration law
has been called to the attention of
Congress by Sen. Hubert H.
Humphrey. He presented the re-
suits Of 4 Gallup Poll showing
that some ii million adults who
were familiar with the McCarran-
Walter Act believed that the i'm
migration law should be made
more liberal.
Some of the results of the poll
show that a majority-53 percent
when asked the question from
what you know, do you think
there should or should not be
changes made in the McCarran-
Walter Act?" responded t h a t
changes should be made. Only Is
percent said mo" On the question
'do you think this Act should be
made more strict or more liberal?"
sixty-eight percent favored more
liberal provisions and 26 percent
more strict provisions. Another
result of the poll reveals that in
all groups there is a definite ma
jority approving the idea of Euro
pean families coming into their
neighborhood to take up resi-
dence.

PLAIN TALK.
BY ALFRED SEcAL
/ GET SPANKED

You rascal. you'll" the rabbi had
said TO me at the end of his letter;
but he said it in kindly and kid
ding way and couldn't mind his
making rascal of me. A column
ist gets called plenty of names and
the worst of all was to be called
damn-fool one day. And nv
wife herself at times says I'm just
too silly.
The rabbi who called me rascal
with most friendly wink is Sam
uel Silver. He is editor of "Ameri-
can Judaism" the publication of
the Union of American Hebrew
Congregations (Reform) in New
York. He was spanking me but l
thank him, particularly because
his letter helps to fill up most of
the column this day; it's just too
uncomfortably warm (87 in the
Shade) to do my own writing on a
day like this. So it's an off-day for
me-a day only for being spank
ed.
Rabbi Silver didn't like what
had written recently about SER
mons our rabbis give. l was say
ing that too many of our rabbis
seem to think of themselves as
international pundits able to tell
the so-called statesmen how to
run the world. Rabbits sermons.

problems Of the average guy of
the congregation.
The average guy would like to
know from his rabbi how to go
about the problems of his own
life. There are those kids of his
Just going into teen-age and they
are being impertinent and de-
handing to go their own way,
without guidance of papa's and
mama's hand. What about that.
He hopes maybe to hear some
thing on that from the rabbi, but,
likely as not the rabbi in that
weeks sermon is telling Mr.. Dull
les how to do with the world.
That's what I said in the column
witch Rabbi Silver didn't like so
much. BY the way of providing
contrast I quote the sermon topics
of number of Christian clergy
men in our town-such as THE
Home Beautifully or You Can
Have Life"
Now Rabbi Silver was telling
me: 'The vast majority of rabbi
nical preachment is no different,
by and large, from the sermons by
Christian clergymen along the
lines you enumerate. Of course, a
goodly number of sermons (by
rabbis) which deal with national
affairs are reported in the press,
which is something else again.
Rabbi Silver means that be-
cause newspapers do play up such
sermons. people may get an idea
that rabbis are mixing their hands
in the affa'-c f - w%ole world
when they should Sc lending the
home fires rather.
Further GRE RTfbi Silver

l have attended a goodly number
of church services-that many a
sermon with such non-political
titles as ''You Can Have Life" and
even '@The Home Beautiful" do
contain illusions and Illustrations
from the world of politics and
international affairs.

Ry John Y. HORNER


One thing they've learned IN
OuatemaIa ID never to underes-
innate the power Of women. II
the people didn't know this be-
fore. the truth Of the saying was
clearly established IS months
ago. Chances are the Guate-
rinlans won't forget It.
In the. 10 years preceding July,
1854. the scenic Central Ameri-
can country had been In the
tightening grasp Of q Commu-
nist-dominated government. The
head men. Or. Juan Jose Arevalo
and Col. Jacobo Arbenz Guzman,
were thumbing their noses at al
the West. and the United States
ia particular.
They suppressed Individual
liberties. They restricted re-
ligious activities. Citizens who
dared to object to pro-Red poll
cIes were nquidated. Tourists
from the United States were
warned TO go home.
Washington and the other
Western capitals viewed the
situation with increasing alarm.
They knew the irrevocable loss
Of Guatemala to communism
would constitute q threat to
democracy; It would break hem
ispheric solidarity and enhance
the opportunity for Red infil-
ttation Of other American coun-
tries.
Castillo Led Revolt
Fortunately. . substantial ele-
ment In Guatemala was deteY-
mined to resist the leadership
and TO reverse the trend. One Of
these was Col. Carlos Castillo
Efmas. who led the revolution
that overthrew the Arbenz goy-
etnment in July, 1854 and who
comes to Washington tomorrow
. President for q state visit.
@Col. Castillo Armas can lay
claim to success on the basis Of
p1rsonal achievement. patriotism
and his own fortitude. Neverthe-
leSs, he also Is indebted to the
Catholic Church and to . coura-
seous group Of feminine patriots.
The won1en's role was among the
most exciting In the drama Of
Guatemala.
Col. Castillo Arrnas had been
wounded. captured and jailed byI
Eae Arbenz forces while particle

tioh In 1851. Undismayed, he
persuaded seven fellow prisoners
10 join him in digging Q tunnel
beneath the thick walls Of the
central penitentiary. They es-

asylum at the Colombian
Embassy.
He went to Colombia as O po-

Senators Open | Hearings
On District Insonity Bill

here where they were before the
appellate court ruled that every
defendant has a right to a
mental examination as long as
the request is not frivolous or
made in bad faith.
Changes Listed
These are the major changes
proposed by the legislation:
/. Defendants claiming mental
incompetence to stand trial and
asking for mental examination
will have to give the court some
evidence on which to base their
claims before the mental ex-
animation is ordered. This pro-
vision not only makes it q little
more difficult to get a mental
examination. but also provides
for examination in a hospital
instead of at the jail. as at
present.
Q. The procedures for getting
an accused to trial once he has
been found mentally competent
are streamlined.
8. If the defendant pleads in
sanity as his defense at the trial,
the Government will be able to
offer psychiatric testimony to re-
but his claim. At present pSy-
chiatrists who have the defen-
dant under observation longest
cannot testify because this has
been ruled a violation Of DOCTOR
patient privilege.
4. If. the defendant is found
not guilty by reason Of insanity.
he will have to be committed to
a mental hospital and the hospi-
tai superintendent. the court and
the prosecutor will all share the
responsibility for his release. At
present commitment of a de-
fendant acquitted on insanity
grounds is a matter of discretion
and is not mandatory.
