DAVID LAWRENCE

There's a big game going
on in the world between the
East and the West. Some call
1t the "cold war" Some call
it peaceful coexistence. I"
Others call it "the Geneva era
of good feeling"
But the odd part of it all is
that very few persons. except
those who are on the inside of
governments. know really
what's going on and what the
various moves portend.
Thus. some observers are
convinced there'1l be no war
and that IAN atomic stalemate"
is in progress. Other observers
argue that. because war can be
more horrible than ever before,
there is no alternative now ex-
cept to negotiate and bargain
and reach some agreement with
gangster governments whose
word has repeatedly been
proved worthless. no matter
what the pledges.
The big story Of the age is
not the stalemate but the fer
ment behind the stalemate.
The Dig discovery is that
peoples are slowly but surely
becoming aware that they can
control their own destiny.
Once upon a time President
Woodrow Wilson described the
gradual workings of a peoples
will by the phrase - moral
suasion." President Eisenhower,
a couple of weeks ago in his
speech to the American Bar
Association at Philadelphia,
had the same thing in mind
when he referred to peaceful
change" He said:
I'VE must not think of peace
as a static condition in world
affairs. That is not true peace,
nor in fact can any kind of a
peace be preserved that way.
Change is a law Of life, and
unless there is peaceful change,
there is bound to be violent
change"
This is the statement Of a
great truth. Though obvious,
1t is often overlooked. There
is a tendency by the skeptics
to demand simplified solutions.
Thus, persons 60 to Soviet Rus

STA and come back saying they
didn't see any signs of unrest
or possible revolution. These
things, of course, are never
uncovered to the naked eye.
They exist in the hearts and

it's because the Red Army
would reflect the rebellious
feelings of the whole popula-
ton, and a few army leaders
could change the entire picture
in a few hours.
The same thing is true in any
dictatorship country. Peron's
troubles in Argentina aren't
academic. They are due to a
ferment inside his country.
It's a kind Of peaceful
change" and it is constant and
unrelenting in pressure.
Unfortunately too many OBJ
servers don't understand moral
force. They reckon always in
military terms The presence
of a huge military force in
the West. and especially
Americas air power, is a big
influence in preventing war,
but the biggest is the unwilling
ness of the Russian people to
be sacrificed. The greatest
danger is that war will come
anyway because the Soviet
rulers may take a chance and
mistakenly believe they can
hold their people together with
an aroused patriotism. But an
unpopular government in 1917
in st. Petersburg didn't keep
the Russian armies who were
fighting the enemy from
making a separate peace with
the enemy.

Adlai E. Stevenson returns to
the political platform this fall
with Wisconsin and New York
appearances which may precede
a November announcement in
Chicago that he wants the Dem
ocratic Party presidential nom
ination again.
A Democratic national COM
mittee spokesman said today Mr.,
Stevenson will resume party ac-
tivity after a self-enforced lay
off since last year with a speech
at the Wisconsin Democratic
State convention in Green Bay
October TO.
The 1852 nominee then also
will speak at a $100-a-plate party
dinner in New York October 81
and at a meeting of National
committee members and State
chairmen in Chicago Novem-
Der 1913.
Raised Eyebrows Feared
A Stevenson supporter said
that while there might be some
raised eyebrows" at the choice
OF a party committee dinner for
the occasion. he sees no reason
why the former Illinois Governor
should not announce in the
stockyardS amphitheater site
where he was nominated in 1852
that he is available again.
Mr.. Stevenson's New York ap-
pearance took on added signfi-
canoe when it was learned that
he, Gov. Averell Hartman and
former President Truman had
been selected personally as
speakers by Carmine DeSapio
national committeeman and
Tammany leader.

QUESTION: Is there a prohibi.
tion in Jewish law against enter.
ing the synagogue with a knife
in ones pocket? If so. why?
ANSWER: Such a restriction is
mentioned in the ShuIchan Aruch
(Orach Chayim, 15D. Some trace
this to a statement in the Talmud
which prohibited man from
entering the Temple with a weap-
on. (Talmud Babli, Sanhedrin
82a). The case is exemplified in
the story of Phineas who took
revenge for the incident involv-
ing the Midianite woman of
whom it is written that ''he took
a spear in his hand" plumbers
ESD. The Rabbis deduce from
this that it is ordinarily prohibit
ed to carry a weapon in the Tenn
pie. Some commentaries establish
the reason for this restriction by
saying that the sanctuary of CD,
be it the Temple of old or the
synagogue of today, is an insti-
tuition through which we curtail
life.
QUESTION: Why is it custom.
arY to have special lights or
candles lit in the synagogue dur
ing prayers?
ANSWER: The Mishnah men,
tions the fact that it was custom
ary to light oil containers in the
synagogues and in houses of
study. The Midrash (Bemidbar
Rabbah, ~ comments on the nec-
essity of lights in the synagogue
morning and evening. This was
an indication, claims the Midrash,
that we are taking care of the
light of the Lord and it is ex-
pected that He will, in turn, take
care of our lights, which are our
souls. The "Tur" states that it
was customary to kindle lights in
the synagogue in order to honor
and beautify the institution. Some
claim the kindling of the lights
indicates the presence of the AL
mighty who is close to us during
times of prayer.
QUESTION: Why is il custom.
arY in many sYnagogues to have
the six pointed star designed in
some locations or objects in the
sYnagogues?
ANSWER: This six pointed star
has become known as the "Shield
of David" Its exact origin is not
definitely established. The Kab-
balists claim that the six points
represent the four directions plus
the upper and lower extremities
or the four corners of the world
plus heaven and earth. In this
sense it may be an omen of the
omnipresence of the Lord who is
all over at one time. 1t is recorded
that an eight-pointed symbol was
also in a Jerusalem synagogue
and that King Solomon had a
five-pointed symbol.

In the arts and crafts section
the children made banks from

ranged from elaborate drawings

Police Investigating Reports

Washington, packed the car with
a weeks supply of clothes for
themselves and their three chill
dren, Michael, Allen and Brian
lido they belong in TwinbrookD
and drove east, without any clear
idea of what kind of place they
might find to live in.
The stopped in motels along
the way and once they reached
Walter Reed started house hunt
ing. The house on Stillwell was
their third inspection and they
moved in the day they decided
to take it.
They had no furniture for sew
eral days but report that the
children enjoyed the camping"
After four days which most of
us would consider hectic, they
reloaded the car and drove all
the way to Rehobeth for the day.
They've visited the Bay beaches
and are doing" Washington
with a thoroughness most of us
hope to accomplish when the
children are older.
Other people who "do things"
are the Lange boys on Atlantic
Avenue, whose hobby is entering
contests. Their enthusiastic box
topping paid off recently when
Phil won a bicycle and Alex
pair of roller skates in separate
contests.
They get their talent from
their mother who is no mean
contestant herself and she
figures that if you give 20 hours
a week for four years to enter
ing contests you are bound to
win something. She may be right
but with our luck we'd be sure
to win a Shetland pony or a
years supply of hair straight
ener.
The Recreation Center con-
tinues to provide our children
with all the benefits of an eX'

children seem to appreciate and
thoroughly enjoy it.

couldn't we have an obedience
class?
This would involve only the
cost of the instructor, since the
dogs would have to provide their
own handlers.
Sarah Ward, who deals in
bandaids as we'll as art ait the
playground, has just returned
from an eventful two weeks in
North Carolina. (That must be
where she gets the energyD
They took the oldest two chill
dren who they felt would enjoy
the train trip and left the babies
with different neighbors. A

There has been more vandal.
ism at the playground. In one

caught and disciplined by the
playground instructors, in

In both cases NO one PAID
for the damage. Parents might
be less inclined to dismiss this
expensive play" as the product
of "boyishnesS" if they had to
pay $25 or so for each little
caper.
If all the citizens who are
"sure it's not my boy, would
urge the police to arrest the Gull
prits, we might have a few
shocked parents, but we'd have a
more law-abiding and less costly
community.
1t is up to the community to
express real desire to have the
law strictly enforced. The police
can't be expected to pit them
selves against all the doting
parents in the community over
the matter of a few hundred
dollars worth of vandalism.

cause unnecessary alarm, but
on the other hand they want
people to know that the police
can do better job if they have
prompt reports of any sort of
complaint or suspicion.
In this connection, Captain
Dayhoff offered the information
that most of the providers turn
out to be neighbors.
Before we could be properly
shocked, he went on to say the
neighbors were apt to be chasing
an unruly puppy, or looking for
abandoned toys. Occasionally
it's a case of being at the right
house in the wrong block, or
even the right house in the right
block.
With houses so close together
the noise made by neighbor
trying his own door may be
deceptive. Or, if a man is really
off course, he may have no evil
intentions. If he's just teensy
bit under the weather, the police
will "shoW him the way to go
home.
They are not looking for bust
ness. They know the easiest,
most effective way to do their
job of protecting the community,
is to have citizen cooperation in
keeping them informed.
The discretion they customarily
show in their handling of com
plants is an assurance that we
can call on them without any
possibility of embarrassment.
The possibility of embarrassment
arises when you "confide" your
story to just few neighbors.
If you like puzzles, you may
enjoy the speculation that has
resulted from these incidents.
