QUESTION: Is it true that there
is tradition forbidding a man to
marry girl who bears the same
name as his mother? If so. why?
ANSWER: This restriction is
mentioned in the famous will of
Judah Chasid and many adhere to
it. The reasons for this restriction
are given by later sources and
they are varied. Some claim that
it would be the source of an "ayin
Hora" since the coincidence would
provoke amazement and at times
envy. Others claim that such a
thing is prohibited because an evil
decree may have been assigned to
one of them and might fall upon
the other because of the similarity
in names. The Mahril claims that
the reason involves the practice of
naming child after a deceased
parent. In a case where the wife
and mother have the same name,
the husband could never name a
girl after his mother since it is
forbidden to name child by the
same name as it's mother. Some
claim that this restriction was i'm
posed at time when families
lived in the same house and that
a man might, in this case, call for
his wife and be answered by his
mother in an embarrassing situa-
ton.
QUESTION: Why is a man re-
quired to wait until three major
holidays h ave passed before
marrying a second wife after his
first one passed away?
ANSWER: Two main reasons
have been advanced for this pro-
/ hibition. One is that the waiting
period is designed as a state of
mourning, and that after three
major, holidays have passed the
state of mourning is over. Another
reason is based upon the fact that
a marriage which takes place too
soon after the demise of the first
wife has the husband thinking
about both wives at the same
time. After the passing of three
festivals, the man has thought of
other delightful things in connec-
ton with the festivals and can
now settle down to thinking only
of his second wife.
y
QUESTION: Why must di-
vorcee or a widow wait 80 days
after the divorce or death Of her
husband to remarrY?
ANSWER: The reason is given
quite obviously in the codes. It
was declared necessary to wait
this period in order to make sure
that pregnancy had not occurred
from the first husband. This was
done in order to be assured that
any child born henceforth would
be known to be from the second
husband were she to remarry, or
if pregnancy did not show itself
in the three-month period that it
was the first husband who was
the father of the child, so that the
fatherhood of the child be ascer-
tanned.

he said. He said today that there
win be enough tuberculosis
patients to occupy both the
Glenn Dale and facilities at D. C.

mediate need for any additional
tuberculosis beds In the District.
District General Hospital on
cials are fighting DR.. Finucane's
proposal to develop Glenn Dale
as a chest disease hospital--in-
stead of one concerned with
tuberculosis-by claiming such
facilities are already present at
D. c. General. They add the
city should Concentrate its
facilities in one area" and believe
Glenn Dale win become a white
elephant in a few years. They
believe the TB hospital should be
built.
District budget ofiicials, struck
by the vacancy figures presented
by DR.. Finucane - there are
about 80 to l00--meanwhiie
have questioned the need for any
new facilities for tuberculosis.
DR.. Donald Sickler. director of
the tuberculosis division Of the
Health Department, said the
current controversy Is a matter
of whether the funds slated for
the TB hospital sscouid not be
directed elsewhere.
He pointed to these vacancies:
There are only l2 TB patients
at Freedmen's Hospital where
there were so last spring; there
are less than 200 patients at
D. c. General compared to $50
last spring. He added there are
about 30 vacancies at Glenn Dale
and only 80 patients at Upshur
street, the city's facility for "re-
habilitating TB patients out Of
Glenn Dale"
Authorities have pointed out
that the proposed hospital has
been designed to be developed as
a chronic disease hospital when
the tuberculosis situation has
been defeated in the District.
Need for Other Beds
DR.. Seckinger has repeately
said there is a pressing need for
chronic disease beds in the
