ARE THE jews
GOOD FARME Frs?

AS a rule Jewish farmers are
located areas near large Jewish
population centers. In some Of the
larger states. Jewish farmers oc-
cupY an important position as in
New Jersey. where it is estimated
that the production of Jewish
farmers is worth about $4,000. 00C
a year.
One of the least known and
most unique facts about Jewish
land settlement in America is the
role played by the Anglo-Jewish
press in the development of Jew
ish farming. AS early as 1843 the
Occident and the American Jew
ish Advocate began advocating
the idea of agricultural colonial
toni The same was true of other
publications, such as the Asmo-
mean and the American Israelite.
The movement also had advo-
Gates among non-Jews. who were
frequently motivated by mission
arY intentions. A most curious
role in that direction was played
in the 1905 by the Society TO
Meliorate the Condition of the
Jews. This. organization once
reached a huge membership:
among them John Quincy Adams.
and its organ. called Israel's Ad-
vocate. had at one time a circula-
tion of about $4,000. Its missionary
tendencies were naturally viewed
with alarm by Jewish leadership.

One of the most significant
things about the Jewish move

when the general population drift
was sharply in the opposite direc-

Worldwide Move
For Attendance
Al Church Planned

This community will participate
in the World Wide Church At
tendance Movement sponsored by
Protestant churches from New
Years to Easter TO develop weekly
church going habits.
State, county and city council of
churches in 13 states have Joined
the interdenominational movement
which has headquarters in Nash
vile, Tennessee.
These states are North Dakota
South Dakota, Iowa, Minnesota,
Wisconsin, Illinois, Ohio, Virginia,
Pennsylvania, Michigan, Kansas,
Missouri and Indiana. Other states
are expected to join the movement
soon.
The World Wide movement is
planned to give churches an evan
gelistic thrust in 1856 by increas-
ing membership and support thr-
ough regular attendance, prayers,
gifts and service.
Monthly obJectiveS have been
established for the. four-month
period.
In January, participating church
es will concentrate on developing
strong Christian homes. Leaders
said this will be a month of con-
secration among church families.
During February and March the
emphasis will be on lining up pros
pective new members, both child
ren and adults, and enrolling them
in membership training classes
These people will be received into
local churches on Palm Sunday OF
Easter.
The concluding phase in April
will stress integration of new
members into church activities.

Cookies Children
Can Make Recipes

Children enjoy making fancy
Christmas cookies if the dough is
easy to work with, believes Irene
Metz, Ohio State University exten-
sion nutritionist.
The specialist suggests this re-
cipe for soft Sugar Cookies" as
one that children can handle with
some adult help in mixing and
measuring. To make 1 Il to 2 doZ-
en- cookies, cream together / cup
white sugar and u cup shortening
and add l beaten egg. Sift togeth-
er IL cups flour, l2 teaspoon nut
meg and few grains salt.
Add sifted dry ingredients to the
creamed mixture alternately with
Il cup buttermilk, Mix all ingredi-
entS together well, then chill for l
hour. Drop by teaspoon on a grcas-
ed cookie sheet. Sprinkle with
granulated sugar and bake at 400
degrees Fahrenheit for Is minutes.
After 10 E1inutes of baking re-
move cookies from oven and let
children decorate with tiny bits of
fruit or candy. Return to the oven
for to 10 minutes additional bak-
ing or until cookies are done.
'Molasses Crinkles" is another
easy-to-handle recipe, Before ball-
ing in 375 degree Fahrenheit
oven, these cookies are rolled into
walnut-sized balls and dipped in
sugar. Ingredients for "Crinkles
are 2 cup shortening and l CUP
brown sugar, creamed and mixed
with l egg and Il cup molassesi
2A cups flour, 2 teaspoons baking
soda, Il teaspoon salt IL teas
poon cloves, l teaspoon cinnamon
and 1 teaspoon ginger sifted to
gether. The dough should be chill
ed thoroughly before shaping anC
baking. Cookies are done when set
but not hard. This usually requires
10 to II minutes baking time, Miss
Metz says.

Bid to Adenouer Not Surprising

that such war, If it comes. will
be the result of the machina-
tions of aggressive circles"
which, of course, can exist
only in the United States or
among her allies.
The Moscow invitation also
explains the omission from the
Soviet pronouncements on the
forthcoming Big Four confer
ence Of any direct reference to
the problem of Germany as .
subject for discussion. The
strategy is obviously to deal
directly with Bonn, making the
most Of the known feelings Of
the German people and the
general desire for q reunifica-
ton Of the two parts of that
nation into one restored Ger
man republic.
Chancellor Adenauer. Of
course. can be expected to
consult Immediately with the
United States, Britain and
France on the best response
to the Soviet stroke. But he
will be bound to present the
existing sentiment in his coun-
try as a powerful factor to be
considered; and hardly less
important. he must remind his
Western colleagues of the
tremendous appeal to resurgent
German industry Of the pros
poets Of a prosperous trade
with the Communist world.

would be a very active possi-

The Moscow chessplayers, in
their latest swift move in a
series of astute offensives,
cleverly played up the exist
ing dangers to Germany in a
continuation of the cold war
and q divided nation. West
Germany is presently enjoy
ing a period of unprecedented
prosperity, with her industrial
production not only fully re-
stored but far outStripping the
prewar output of Hitler's
Reich.
With her industry humming,
and much of the seemingly
hopeless war damage to her
cities and facilities restored.
West Germany wants least Of
all to be the battle-ground in
any new conflict. So the Reds.
keenly aware Of the German
attitude, stressed the point in
their note OF invitation to the
German Chancellor, with due
reference to the old aggressive
circles" cliche of Red diplomats.

of the consequences of atomic

A Chance to Feel Out the KremIin

as to prevent any disappoint-
ment that could dim his own
prestige and that in turn, so
far as the Republican Party
is concerned could mar the
bright picture of peace and
prosperity which leaders of the
party are counting on for their
piece de resistance in 1856.
The President is deferred
from playing the Big -Four
meeting too heavily also by
the hard, cold political fact Of
the Knowland wing of his
party, which looks obviously
at any meeting with the Rus
slams at any time in any place.
That explains the care with
which it is repeatedly empha-
sized that no commitments
are to be made by the heads
of states in their session which
will only map out the agenda
for the foreign ministers of the
Big Four to pursue thereafter.
The latter may meet for many
months, with recesses from
time to time.
While Mr.. Eisenhower orig
inally specified a meeting Of
only three days for the heads
of state, he conceded at his
news conference this week that
a matter of one or two or three
days more, if they were
needed, would be all right.

The action of the Soviet
Union in inviting Chancellor
Konrad Adenauer of the West
German republic to a Moscow
conference is less surprising
than would at first appear.
First reaction to the sudden
Moscow announcement was
that of amazement, of course,
for the Kremlin bosses have
never before formally COM
municated with the Bonn gov
ernment and have made some
thing of a sport the past few
years of hurting choice Com
munist invective at the war
mongers" and "Nazis" of West
Germany.
To informed observers. how
ever, and for that matter to
any reader of the newspapers
who has followed the gyra-
tions of Soviet policy under
the latest new look" there
is little surprise in the sub
stance of the Russian bid to
the German Chancellor.
The action is a shrewd one,
calculated to deliver the most
positive results to the bene-
fit of Soviet foreign policy
whatever the outcome Of the
talks, and advantageous to
Moscow from a propaganda
standpoint even if DR.. Ade-
nauer turns down the invita-
tion-which he is unlikely to
do at this writing.
The immediate effect of the
Russian move is to establish
actual relations with Bonn in
advance of the Big Four con-
ference scheduled tentatively
for Geneva later this summer.
Thus the Russians would be
openly dealing with Bonn
directly on all matters at
issue between the West Ger
man republic and the Iron
Curtain nations. It is pre-
cisely here that the greatest
impact of the Soviet move
will be felt by the West.
There is no doubt, of course.
in the minds Of Western lead
ers that Chancellor Adenauer
will continue to maintain close
and genuine identity with the
policy leadership of the free
world. No possibility exists
today for any actual double
dealing on the part of the
West Germans in an effort to
play off the East against the
West for the benefit Of Ger
many.
But If and when DR.. Ade-
nauer ceases to be the strong
man of the Bonn government.

The President has become

clings about him the aura
emanating from his dramatic
promise toward the end of his

equally dramatic fulfillment in
his trip to Korea after the

peace in Korea. The eventual

Proficiency in Mastering Senate Votes
Allows No Issues Spowning Debate

The real truth about Sen
ator Lyndon Johnson's leader
ship of the Senate is that he is
In danger Of becoming a vic
tim of his own virtuosity. This
In turn will endanger his
party.
The majority leader has just
demonstrated again his enor-
nous technical proficiency in
two important votes within "a
hours. Both will be helpful to
Democratic campaign orators
next year.
Where Republicans had
complacently expected to put
across a watered-down hous-
ing bill, Senator johnson
snatched victory from defeat
for the Democratic program by
masking his real strength and
by brilliant parliamentary ma
neuvering. Then he whooped
through on a voice vote the
Democratic dollar an hour
minimum wage as against the
ninety cents preferred by the
President.
Admiring spectators Sug-
gested that all that remains is
for him to do his next triumphs
to music.
But the brutal truth is that
the audience for brilliant po-
litical technique is relatively
limited. It is almost confined
within the walls of the Capitol
and most certainly includes
very few of the voting public.
In a johnson presentation,

there are no heroes Demo-
cratic) and no villains (Repub-
lican). The G. o. P. President
is rarely mentioned. There is
little or no interesting CONVEX
sation, much less real debate.
The roll calls which separate
the men from the boys are held
to a minimum.
Inevitably the result muddles
the party lines. 1t also makes
for dullness and lack of public
interest.
1t is not an easy way. Sena-
tor Johnson plans and plots
and spends literally hours on
the telephone, explaining,
persuading. concocting and
cajoling He knows most
Senators better than they know
themselves.
But the public sees none Of
this. What has been hard to
achieve looks easy and so
cheap it can scarcely have the
value attached to 1t that
Democrats require for success
in 1856.
When the minimum wage
was so suddenly and suavely
enacted, Senators came out of
the chamber laughing. But the
best political brains among the
Democrats soberly confessed
that 1t would have been better
if they had been able to cast
loud, clear ayes for the record
and perhaps review the long,
hard struggle for any minimum
wage at all.

Supreme Court Prestige Injured

too, they would have found
that loyalty review board rec
concentrations were at times
ignored by both Secretaries Of
State Acheson and Dulles, who
disposed of cases of alleged
lack of loyalty either by spe-
cial panels of their own or by
permitting designations.
If the Supreme Court Of
the United States can under
take to appraise the quality
of advice given by advisory
boards and commissions and
can rule that they do not have
authority to give advice if it
leads to dismissal of an en-
ploye, then the adminiStra-
tive machinery of Government
is in for some perplexing
interferences by the courts.
Even Justice Douglas, who
wanted to tackle the conStitu-
tional issue about informantS,
says in his opinion discussing
the executive order under
which the loyalty review board
was set up:
"The question Of construc-
ton of the executive order was
so well settled that neither the
Government nor DR.. Peters
suggested the absence of au-
thority in the review board to
take Jurisdiction Of this case
on its own motion. I agree that
it had such authority. It, there
fore, becomes necessary for me
to reach the constitutional is
sue."
Chief Justice Warren, in the
majority opinion, conceded
that the dismissal Of DR.. Peters
was taken up by the high court
because the case appeared to
present the same constitutional
question left unresolved by this
courts action in Bailey VS..
Richardson"
But in the latter case the
justices voted 4 to 4 and the
tie was not resolved due to the
fact that one justice disqual-
flied himself. So, after having
taken the Peters case because
of constitutional issues, the
Supreme Court then backed
away. It will be a long time be-
fore the prestige lost by the
Supreme Court in the Peters
case will be recovered.
