Funds Asked
For Districts
|RedssessITlent

President Eisenhower yester-
day asked Congress to appro-
PIRATE $500. 900 to start the
District OF on q three-year pro-
gram Of equalizing Washington
real estate assessments.
The plan grew out Of bitter
criticism Of District assessments
by the General Accounting Once
and by the House Appropriations
subcommittee which handled the
|city's budget for the coming fiscal
year.
It was. In fact. the justification
used by the House subcommittee
for It's 81 million cut in the an
nual Federal payment Of $40
million to help meet costs of
running the National Capital.
Meeting Today
The subcommittee planned o
meeting today to consider not
only the reassessment proposal,
but $1,013.951 In other requests.
The largest item was $448.047
for pay increases to employees
who are paid by the hour.
Other items in the estimates
to 60 to the House Appropria-
tions Committee are: 3,120 for
bills owed private hospitals for
the care Of. INDECENT patients
during the fiscal year 1854:
$137,936 to the United States
Bureau of Prisons for the care
of District juvenile delinquents:
$132.812 to reimburse the Fed
eral Treasury for operation of
courts here in the fiscal year
1854. and $252. .o36 in payment
of audited claims for the
year 1854.
The total cost of the reassess-
ment program would be 500. 900.
according to Director Schuyler
Lowe of the Department of Cen
eral Administration.
It would start. If the funds are
approved as a supplemental ap-
preparation to the coming budget,
late this year and would be COM
pleted by December of 1858, Mr..
Lowe said.
At that time. he declared, Dis
Itrict assessments will be entirely
current. Permanent increases in
the staff Of the District assessor.
now being finally approved by
Congress, should keep them that
way, he added.
20 to 30-Year Lag
One source Of criticism in
Congress was that the District
has not reaSsessed some residen-
tial properties for 20 or 30 years.
The three-year program, Mr..
Lowe said. will involve hiring on
a temporary basis of 81 field
inspectors and Of Office staff to
back them up.
Also, he declared, the District
plans to hire a consultant to
prepare an assessment manual
to guide assessors in standard
lied procedures, and to advise
the city on policy and on special
problems. And. he said, Were
going to shop around for a con-
sultant, get their specific pro-
iposalS. their qualifications and

lected at this point"

Egan Takes Exception To
Statements Made BY
Arnold Of Alaska Salmon

VALDEZ, R-Territorial Sen.
William A. Egan today took ex-
ception to statements by wv. O.
Arnold, manager Of Alaska Sal
mon Industry, Inc, in connection
with the crisis brought on by the
depletion Of Alaska Unemploy-
ment Compensation fund.
Egan said Arnold has been
quoted as saying the territorial
legislature refused to authorize
Gov B. Frank Heintzleman to
seek a federal interest-free loan
to be used to bolster the fund.
The Valdez legislator, head of
the Democrats legislative policy
committee, pointed out that the
extraordinary session Of the 1855
legislature empowered and di-
rected" the governor to obtain
advances of funds from the fed
eral unemployment account for
the purposes Of (a) reimbursing
the general fund of the territory
for loans made to the unemploy-
ment fund and Cb) maintaining
sufficient funds in the unemploy-
ment compensation fund to pro-
vide for prompt payment of I'M
employment compensation insur-
ance benefits.
Egan said the bill, carrying an
emergency clause, was approved
by Governor Heintzleman April
9. He added that if reports of
Arnold's testimony were correct,
st is hard to comprehend why
Arnold insisted upon giving such
an erroneous impression to COM
mittees of Congress-"

Wet Nam Leaders
Demand BaO Dai
Surrender Powers

SAIGON, South Wet Nam, up
- Vietnamese leaders met today
to indict ex-emperor Bao Dai, the
absentee chief of state, and de-
mand he turn over his powers to
an elected national assembly.
But the United States, which is
pouring millions of dollars in aid
to free South Wet Nam, was re-
ported to believe a constitution
al monarchy would be the best
form of government because of
the country's political immatur-
ity.
About 700 Vietnamese provin-
cial and municipal councillors
met in Estates general" assem-
bly,, one of the closest things to
a sounding board of national
opinion yet achieved in Wet Nam.
They cheered Premier Ngo
Dinh Diem, who called the con-
ference to act on a national revo-
lutionary committees demand for
Bao Dai's custer. They debated a
government backed resolution
which accused Bao Dai of various
things, from being too long alb
sent in France and out Of touch
with things at home, to conduct
ing himself in a way that profit
ed only the colonialists and the
Communists.
Diem's success in routing the
rebel Binh Xuyen Society which
attempted to overthrow his gov
eminent by armed force last
week, apparently has brought
him at least tacit support from
the French.
Sources in Paris said last night
that Premier Edgar Faures gov
eminent was ready to support
the doughty Vietnamese national
ist leader provided he can give
his country a strong, stable gov
eminent representing wide
range of its population.

News Conference

WASHINGTON, LR- President
Eisenhower said today he has
given all sorts Of consideration
to federal controls over distribu-
ton of Salk polio vaccine but he
still thinks the voluntary method
is best.
The President told news con-
ference the government intends
to see to it no child ever goes
without the vaccine because Of
inability to pay for it.
Volunteering his remarks about
the vaccine program, Eisenhower
also said government officials are
convinced the present incubation
program should go ahead despite
development of paralytic polio by
a few youngsters who have re-
ceived vaccine produced by one
firm.
The President said that in his
opinion it is both safe and wise
to 60 ahead with the NEGOTIATIONS.
Eisenhower also dealt with
these other topics:
Cease fire - Eisenhower said
that at the moment the United
States is in a sort of Wait-and-
see position with respect to pos
sible talks between this country
and Red China on a cease fire in
the Formosa area.
Mrs. Eisenhower - The Presi-
dent said Mrs. Eisenhower
health is not as robust and strong
as that of some people, but she
is good healthy person despite
what he termed her inability to
throw off the effects of a very
serious virus infection which she
developed last March.
The reporter who put the ques-
ton about the first lady's health
said it was prompted by two
things: Democratic National
Chairman Paul Buffers state
ment in March the President
might not seek a second term be-
cause of the state of Mrs. Eisen-
hower's health, and secondly,
cancellation of all Mrs. Eisen-
hower's social engagements for
this week on orders Of her phys
ician.
Postal paY-Eisenhower avoid
ed saying whether he will veto
a bill to increase the pay of
postal workers an average of 8.8
per cent. He indicated a few
weeks ago he would refuse to
sign any bill providing for a
greater hike than TO per cent.

hover said only that he looks for
the bill to be on his desk shortly

Here it would be easy to become
involved in a long discussion on
what constitutes religion; and,
particularly, what constitutes the
Jewish religion It is not our
purpose to become so involved .
However, there are some facts on
record, and it might clarity things
to have look at them
Religious expression manifests
itself in two ways: one, through
the individual, and, two, through
the community
Judaism was born in the mon
otheistic revelation of Abraham
To him it was a personal express
sion which he later shared with
his offsprings :. But it should be
understood that with this begin
ming of Jewish thought we find
the twin birth of the promise of a
great nation on a given spot of
land-Cannan
The people" were to be the
posteritY of Abraham's revelation
-. The land" was to nourish the
people -.
So from the beginning-the idea
of God-the land and the people
are one
We can trace the evolution OF
Jewish thinking only through the
development of the family OF
Abraham, via Jacob, where it is
still the conception of a personal

Zionist history to be taken under
consideration by Mrs. Herman
(Gladys) Klausner and me at a
Hadassah study group session
held this week
Must a person be a Zionist in
order to be good Jew? :.
The term Zionism is a modern
one, and if it is interpreted to
mean that movement which in
our own times seeks to secure Is
rael/Palestine as a politically
recognized state in which the
Jews constitute a majority, then
we must delve into the events of
this, and the past century, and see
if such a course proves valid :. +. /.
However, if we are concerned
with the effect upon the spiritual
well-being of the individual Jew
through the return of the Jewish
nation to the ancient homeland,
then we must turn to the connec-
ton of Hebraic religious thought
and the land of Israel In other
words: does the Jewish religion
require the Jew to regard the land
of Israel as holy, and does it re-

terations in religious thought and
observance But not until our
own day was there a severance
with Judaism from the inspiration
derived from the idea of ancient
homeland In other times such
action as taken by the Council for
Judaism, Inc, would be termed
hereto
Jerusalem was the heart of Jew
lsh tradition Mention of it
appears again and again in the
prayers and in the holiday read
lngs of Jewish observances
The name of the city appears
synonymous with the land of Is
rael and this with freedom and
spirituality
The tremendous messianic con-
cepts were woven around the
magical name of Israel The
entire bid for Jewish survival was
born on the crest of the waves of
hope envisioned by the messianic
dream . +.
However, if it is found desirable
to digress from such romanticism
and become more practical, it can
simply be stated that Jews
throughout the ages realized as
did the Jews of ancient Babylonia
that their religious life and their
survival as Jews was in jeopardy
if it did not have free soil upon
which to develop =.
After the second dispersion
until this century we find the pull
for a return to Zion becomes
stronger in those times when Jew
