former actor on the Yiddish stage.
The average age of these elderly
blind is IT. which is considerably
higher than it was at the begin

ish aged blind. There are two resi-
dents in their eos. including a
9S-Year-old resident who was
admitted a few months ago.
The rage of activities is con-

classes in millinery when the

Library. the largest of IFS kind

Religious observance plays q
key role in the lives of these
Jews. The Passover Seder is q
truly magnificent event. High
Holy Day services are complete to
the last detail with the elderly
participants reading the Torah
in Braille. Many of them know
the entire service by heart.

The rage of opinion presents
something of a problem for Rabbi
Walter Duckat, who is perhaps
better known for his work in
Jewish vocational counseling. He
meets the situation on weekend
and special services with a more

plenty of Yiddish. The daily ser
vices are conducted by the resi-
dents themselves.

Nation Output
Sets Record

Total national production dur
ing the first quarter Of this year
probably was larger than in any
previous first-quarter in history.
Commerce Secretary Weeks said
yesterday.
Mr.. Weeks said total produc-
ton figures are not all in yet
but that his prediction was
based on upward January and
February trends with March
figures showing general i'm
provement."
Mr.. Weeks met the press to
discuss a number of subjects
bearing on the economy before
leaving next week to visit inter-
national trade fairs in seven
European cities.
The secretary said the pre-
vious national production rec
ord for the first three months
totalled about 1862 billion in
1853. He said he thought there
was "a good chance of putting
up the best record ever for the
year 1855"
Mr.. Weeks nosed that last
September he stated moves
would be made to nudge" BUSH
ness expansion. Asked today If
he thought expansion had taken
place too fast, he replied. mo, I
think we're doing all right"
Along with the production
rises, Mr.. Weeks said consumer
expenditures in the first three
months of this year were about
five per cent above 1854. The
value of residential construction
nthis years first quarter was
more than one-third higher than
last year, he added.
The secretary declined to dis
cuss the status Of the long
delayed cabinet study of national
transportation policies or what
his future position might be on
standby economic control legis-
lation. He also said he knew Of

CONSTANTINE BROWN

Will the world witness in
the remainder of this century
the transfer of the influence
of the Western democracies
into the hands Of Oriental
communism?
This question is not being
publicly discussed but is def
nitely feared by some Of the
more realistic policy makers
in the State Department. The
Afro-Asian conference at Ban
dung will provide at least a
partial answer.
Two world wars and the in
tervening social and economic
upheavals have seriously dam
aged the moral and physical
strength of Western Europe.
The strength still exists po-
tentially in this country. We
are in a position to ward off
the threat of Communist DOM
nation by orientals-in whose
number the Russians must be
counted. But We are emulat-
ing the ways of our European
allies and are reluctant to face
a showdown.
Despite the fact that Amer
lea could lead another success
full crusade, we are so at
tached to the political chariot
of our Western allies that we
hesitate to take independent
actions deemed essential for
the good of Western civiliza-
ton. There is only illusory
solidarity between the. mem
bers of the Western alliance,
not because its leaders do not
realize the dangers from the
orientals but because there is
little unity within the indi-
vidual countries.
The situation is quite differ
ent in the other camp. The
Chinese Communists. backed
by the USSR, are driving the
Asiatic nations hard. Peiping
has succeeded, because of the
obvious fear and weakness of
the West, in intimidating all
the Asian governments. With
the exception of Nationalist
China, South Korea, the Phil
ippines, Turkey and to some
extent Pakistan and Iran, the
most populous areas are on the
side of the Communists.
The oriental peoples them
selves, unlike in the West. have
no voice in the political life of
their countries. This is con-
Quoted by the governments
which have imposed themselves
on the people since the end of
World War II.
1t is no exaggeration to say
that only l per cent of EN-
lightened" individuals trained
