4. II the Moscow rulers then

Sir Anthony Eden, apropos
the Tass statement, said that
it was largely designed for
German consumption--there-
by seeking to dismiss its i'm
portance. OF course, 1t was so
designed--to promote Russian
policy in West Germany. For
its purpose it was much better
designed than NATO's Opera

only to support the Russian

In another blazing meeting
last week end behind closed
doors, the Joint Committee on
Atomic Energy and the Atomic
Energy Commission were again
at each others throats. It
seems impossible that these
wounding conditions which
surround the most sensitive
agency in Government can
long continue without damage
to the Government. They are
a far cry from the non-parti-
san framework of the handling
of the atom which was con-
ceived in the first awed hush

jected this as a "showboat"

most as soon as built by the

informally with committee
members late Friday to see If

Supporters Of legislation to
liberalize the 1858 refugee relief
act looked hopefully, but not
optimistically. for action by the
Senate judiciary Committee to-
day.
On the committees agenda for
a closed meeting, along with a
batch OF other measures, Is a
compromise bill submitted with
out recommendation by a six
member subcommittee.
It is intended to speed up the
program for letting refugees and
other non-quota immigrants re-
settle in this country. It also
would raise the total number
from 214,000 to 224, 900.
President Eisenhower asked
Congress in a special message on
May 70 for 10 changes in the
1858 act. saying its objectives
were not being achieved "as
we had all hoped"
The latest available figures
showed that only $4,000 aliens
have been admitted to this
country under the program,
which expires at the end of
next year.
The bill drafted by the Judi
ciary subcommittee embodies
most of the Presidents recon-
mendations, but 1t omits two of
his most controversial proposals
One Of these would have
eliminated the present require
ment that complete information
about each person be available

It may be that his three-hat

Then he tries to force the

It isn't working. The Con-

Vital Things Western Diplomats Know,
Don't Know, and How They'll Proceed

10. A change In military
concepts has occurred inside
the Russian stan command.
The true significance Of "mas-
sive retaliation" has finally
seeped through and has been
distorted by Russian military
experts to mean surprise at
tack" But whatever the words
used. there is a chance Of
greater destruction Of Russian
than Of American cities in an
atomic war. The net result is
a Soviet unreadiness to fight q
world war now.
10. Russian diplomacy is ex-
erting every effort to make q
political issue out Of the build
ing Of air bases In Europe for
the use Of American air forces.
Efforts by the Soviets to have
these bases eliminated and II
possible to break up or frus-
trate the North Atlantic Treaty
Organization are definitely
part of the Soviet long-rarge
detectives.
What the United States and
allies don't know:
(A) The price the Russians
are willing to pay for a breath
ing spell--a truce that might
give them needed goods and a
relaxation of the tempo Of the
Western nations in the arma-
ment race.
CD Whether any system Of
inspection Of armament pro-
duction will be accepted by
Moscow that could really per-
init the Western allies to limit
arms.
CO. Whether the entire
peace move is a gesture for
propaganda purposes and q
device to slow down the West
ern armament program.
Cd Whether a Soviet Of
fer to withdraw troops from
Hungary and Bulgaria will i'm
press the world as a true act
of peacefulness when actually
the commitment to do SO is q
logical consequence militarily
Of the liberation of Austria.
(E) Whether free elec-
tions." Russian style, will fool
the peoples Of the Western
world. Separate segments OF
the Communist Party could
run as q series Of opposition
parties and bring about the
same end result as If a single
party were on the ballot.
(F) Whether another pro-

any provision for the transfer
of unused quotas assigned to
various countries and groups.
Mr.. Eisenhower had suggested
"such unused numbers might
well be used, for example, for
orphans on q worldwide basis. :"
From the standpoint of the
effective operation of the pro-
gram, a key feature of the bill in
the eyes Of its supporters is a
provision that would permit
voluntary welfare organizations
as we'll as individuals to give re-
quired job and housing assur-
ances for immigrants.
The House has shown no signs
of doing anything with the legis-
lation at this session Of Congress.

sources in Geneva, Washing

COW, and to some extent re-
fleets confidential data avail
able to the United States
Gopernment.)
What the United States and
allies know:
|, That the Soviet rulers
want Q new and different rela-
tionship with the Western
powers.
.. That clustering tactics
have been abandoned by the
Soriets In favor Of o concilia-
tory approach.
8. That the burden of arma-
ment is heavy on the Russians.
4. That Communist China
is an expensive ally for the
Kremlin, costing Moscow
nearly "a billion in the past
two or three years.
5! That the governmental
structure in Moscow, though q
dictatorship, is not as clear
cut under the committee sys-
tenn as it was under the one
man rule Of Stain. This has
resulted in a cumbersomeness
and an uncertainty down the
line in executing decisions.
6. That whatever terms are
used to describe Russia's in
ternAl situation-either weak
ness due to agricultural diff
culties or lack of consumer
goods or an overemphasis on
heavy goods--the economic
setup isn't what might be
called healthy. Unless q fun
damental change In economic
policies is effected, something
Is going to crack.
7. The satellites are a real
headache for the Kremlin. The
Soviet turnabout in the policy
toward Austria and the craven
approach to Tito are part Of q
new effort to ward of trouble
in what have been up to now
puppet states.
8, The embargo on the stra-
tegic goods sorely needed by
Soviet Russia and Red China
is pinching. The Communists
are desperate for industrial
machinery and certain raw
materials.
8. Despite the steady devel-
opment Of air power by Russia
and an intensified research on
atomic weapons. the Soviet
military machine is not ready
for a world war.

NEW YORK, - (JTA) - New
York State Attorney General
Jacob K. Javits, called for a
mutual defense agreement be-
tween the United States and Is
rael as essential to American
interests in view of the troubled
situation in the Near East. He
spoke at a dinner of the United

Mr.. Javits noted that the U. S.
Government has made no authori-
tative statement of policy con-
corning either inclusion of Israel
in plans for the defense of the
Near East or American aid to Is
rael in this connection. However,
he said, our government appar-
emily considers it indispensable
to the security of the U. S. to
take the risk of supplying arms
to at least one Arab state, ever
though the Arab attitude is
threatening.

QUESTION: Why is the holiday
Of "Shavuos" referred to as
'.Atzeres?"
ANSWER: AS rule, the last
day of the three seasonal holidays
Passover, Shavuos and Succoth)
are( referred to as "Atzeres" in
the Bible. This would then take
the word "Atzeres" to indicate a
illumination" of the holiday in
the sense that with the last day of
the holiday the festivity culmin-
ates and is gathered in" Since
Shavuoth is only one day in dura-
ton in accordance with the origi-

Torah called 'Tikkun" to show
that we are busying ourselves

our forbearers neglected it.

QUESTION: What is contained
in the "Tikkun?"
ANSWER: Selections from the
various books of the Torah are
contained in it so that in going
over it the Jew will have touched
upon all the important books and
sections of the Torah. Some
Yeshivos do not require their stu
dents to adhere to the Tikkun on
this night; but rather to study
whatever part of the Torah they
are occupied with at that time of
the year, claiming that the Tikkun
was mainly instituted for the lay
man who has no time to study
during the year.

entire festival is made up of the
'1ast day."
Some sources claim that
Shavuoth is called "Atzeres" since
it is actually the final day of a
long period of festivity which
began with Passover. Othe r
sources claim that "Atzeres" is
used in the sense Of restriction.
The other festivals have other
characteristics tn a distinguish
them in a positive fashion such as
the Matzoh of Passover and the
Succah of Succoth. Shavuoth has
no special feature, like the others

Range Shelter

An adequate range shelter is the

Association.
He describes adequate shelter as

is needed, Wildey advises growers
to seed strips of sunflowers, corn
