To all true Americans, one
of the lovliest sights to his or
her eye, is the displaying of
the national fiag-the red,
white and blue. Proper thought
should always be given to the
manner in which it is display
ed, which should go without
saying. Degrading of this
proud emblem is GIstasteful to
all and the use of it to attract
business in the market places
is one of the ways that brings
little warmth of feeling to the
passerby. He glories in the
proud history of his country
and its flag. The Fourth of
July in that other year was
the beginning of the flag and
TO honor it on this anniver-
sary is a duty that should be
done with a glad feeling. If
there are. children in your
home. have them help with the
display and make them feel it
is an honor that they can share.
Have them pledge, with you,
their allegiance and foster the
love of this symbol of our
country. There will be a fac
simile of the Declaration of
independence in one of the
down town windows. Pause and
refresh your minds on that
first important document in
which 1--WE mutually pledged to
each other our lives. our for
tunes. and our sacred honor"
Let this be glorious Fourth
of July just because you thrill
to the flag and all for which it
stands.

U. S. Urged to Resist
Prime Minister Eden's
Immoral Proposal"
On Mideust

The United States, as "the
spokesman Of democratic moral
ity," was urged recently by DR..
Israel Goldstein, president of the
American Jewish Congress, to
''resist Prime Minister Eden's i'm
moral proposal" to strip Israel of
parts of her territory.
"The sinister influence of Soviet
Russia has been injected into the
rigorous hazards which Israel has
endured" DR.. Goldstein stated.
"But what is more significant and
threatening is the apathy and
duplicity Of some of Israel's al
legged friends. It is ironic that in
The Southern Jewish weekly., 1955-12-02

his address of November 8, Mr..
Eden should have at once associ-
ated himself with the proposals
made by Secretary of State Dulles
on August 26 and then offer to
mediate between the Arab States
and Israel on the basis Of 1srael's
cession of territory"
DR.. Goldstein declared that Sec
retary Dulles proposals did not
call for any substantial cession of
The Southern Jewish weekly., 1955-12-02

Israel territory. "Are the Arabs
menacing acts and strident words
and threats of war to be reward
ed?" he asked. "Can the U. N.
long survive if a premium in the
form Of Israeli territory is to be
paid those who flout the U. NJ?
What compensating concession are
the Arab States expected to make
other than remove their knives
from Israel's throat?

Protestant Groups
HotIy Debote Matter
OF Race Integrution

Racial segregation has often been
made a matter Of Christian morals
by American church groups. But
sincere members of single denom-
ination often disagree on which
side of the issue a good Christian
should stand.
Last week two important church
gatherings, the Methodist Balti-
more Annual Conference and the
general assembly of the Presbyteri-
an Church, U. S.. went on record
against segregation. The vote in
each case was strongly in favor Of
integration, but the stands OF de-
termined minorities made it likely
that it will be a long time before
white and colored Methodists or
Presbyterians go to church to-
gether.
The issue before the Methodists
was resolution calling for even
tual Structural integration" of the
white Baltimore Annual Confer
ence and the colored Washington
Annual Conference. After heated
and Bible-quoting-debate, the
motion carried by a decisive show
of hands.
The Prespyterians, meeting in
Richmond. Va, debated integra-
ton, and then voted for it, 293 to
109.
So, two more Protestant groups
began to move slowly toward racial
integration.

Welfare

Senate Democrats demonstrated
twice last week that they held the
whip hand over President Eisen-
hover when it came to welfare
legislation. The Presidents hous-
ing and minimum wage bills were
thrust aside and more liberal Dem
ocratic measures approved.
Majority Leader Lyndon johnson
was credited with engineering the
two Democratic victories, though
he had help from few Republic
cans on each vote. Democrats,
however, are sure to claim full
credit in next years campaign.
Housing
Action on the public housing bill
carried the most drama. Republic
cans were confident they had
enough Democratic support to in
sure passage Of President Eisen-
hower's bill, calling for construc-
ton Of 10000 housing units over
a two-year period.

AIR POWER
More Money Asked
For PIunes in Wake
Of Red Jet Display

The Defense Department last
week asked Congress for additional
money to step up bomber produc-
tion and extend Its research and
development program and said it
was contemplating Speed-up in
fighter production. At the same
time. the Pentagon maintained Off
cially it was all just routine ad-
justment Of the defense program.
Unofficial Pentagon sources. how
ever, said military men were sur
prised by Russia's May Day display
of advanced aircraft "a display the
administration tried to withhold
from the American public and de-
cided to get cracking with some Of
Americas newest jets.
Secretary of Defense Charles E.
Wilson asked the Senate Appropri-
ations Committee to add 1856 mil
lion for aircraft construction to the
House-passed defense money bill.
This would include restoration Of
$3.50 million postponed" by House
action. The money would be spent
on the B-52 heavy bomber.
The Secretary also asked for per-
mission to shift some of his Fiscal
1856 appropriations to research and
development. II new projects or
speedups of existing projects seem
feasible, he said, he would like to
divert as much as $500 million.
Meanwhile Pentagon sources said
production of two supersonic fight
ers, the F-102 and F-104, also would
be given boost.
Even If the speedup is carried
out, however. the Russians prob
ably will still be ahead In heavy
bomber and supaesonic fighters.

CONGRESS
President Boosts
Administration Plan
To Enlarge Reserve

President Eisenhower has said
many times that an effective. or
ganized military reserve is a vital
part of Americas defense. This
country has never had such re-
serve, but the President has asked
Congress to vote one.
A reserve bill approved by the ad-
ministration stalled in the House,
however. 1t ran into three-way
bind. There were Congressman who
were opposed to anything approach
ing a universal reserve program;
there were those who thought the
bill was not sufficiently universal
and those who thought it should
contain an antisegregation proviso.
The combination of antipathy,
apathy and reform sent the meas
ure into House pigeonhole.
Last week the President appealed
to the Senate to rescue the plan.
He said projected cuts in the armed
forces were predicated on an en-
larged, effective reserve. He asked
that the antiSegregation amend
ment, which had been attached to
the House bill. be dropped so that
Southerners could support the
measure. His administration always
had been against racial segregation.
he said, but in this instance the
security of the country had to come
ahead Of integration Of Southern
National Guard units.
Senate leaders said they were
willing to put together their own
reserve bill without integration.
But even If they push through a
bill, 1t is questionable whether the
House will go along without more
White House prodding.

hard to solidify Democratic support
behind q $40 000-unit, four-year
program approved by the Demo-
crat-controlled Banking and Cur
rency Committee.
Republicans, in a confident and
magnanimous mood, agreed to
make the proposed Democratic pro-
gram a flexible one, calling for
construction of from 100000 to
100000 units in four years. Then
they moved in for the kill with
their own 70,000-unit substitute bill.
Democrats refused ito hold still,
however. They mustered enough
votes to reject the G. o. P. substi-
tute, "A to 38. The Democrats lost
six Southern votes on the roll call.
but they picked up nine Eastern
Republican votes.
Final passage of the Democratic
bill was on an easy 60-to-25 vote.
Minimum Wooe
Democratic strength on the min
imum wage bill was so apparent
the Senate did not even bother to
call the roll.
The Presidents supporters-and
the President himself at a news
conference.-the a boost in the
legal wage minimum from rs to
80 cents an hour was all that was
economically feasible. But Demo-
Gratis said jump to 81 would not
be an appreciable burden.
Republican amendments we're
shouted down, and the $1-an-hour
bill was approved on voice vote.
The bill would raise the pay Of
about 81 million workers out of
the "a million covered by the mini
mum wage bill. Democrats promised
they would study a proposal next
year to extend the law to such
excluded groups as farm hands
and retail and wholesale workers.
Both the minimum wage and
housing bills face rough going in
the House, but even if Republicans

REVIEW OF
Auto Workers Win Modified Annual Waqe

headed by Marshal Nikolai Bull

likes of which has not been seen
in Moscow for many years,
Oriental style, people crowded the
streets along which the Nehru
caravan passed from the airport.
They showered the cars in the
parade with flowers. There was
hardly enough room for the autos
to pass. Premier Bulganin. showing
a disdain for caution that veteran
observers had never seen among
Kremlin bigwigs, rode in an open
cara sharp contrast from Stalin's

Mr.. Nehru spent all his time adj
vocating peace, using his own par
ticulaE technique. His theory is:
Get everybody on record as advo-
eating peace, not only in the alb
stract but also in the specific.
Then. even among congenital liars.
it will be harder for the peace to
be broken.
This was his formula in dealing
with Red Chinese Foreign Minister
Chou En-lai last year.
MoIenkov's Remark
The denoted Malenkov got back
into the news at one of the parties
for Nehru when he chatted with
American newsmen. Observers were
struck by the ex-premiers curious
remark that he would visit the
United States IF they'll let me in"
The former premier is believed
to be still very much involved in
the Kremlin power struggle. Could
he be hoping to get out of the
country before he meets the same
fate that befell Lavrenti Beria?
Now minister of power stations,
Malenkov said the Soviet Union
expects to have atomic power plants
with outputs of $4,000 and 100000
kilowatts each in operation in few
years.
It was in connection with dis
cussion of the need for exchanging
atomic know-how that Malenkov
volunteered to join Soviet dele
