this afternoon with group Of
lawmakers who plan to fight the
program for which Gov. Stanley
has called the special session. He
refused to identify those who
would attend.
The Fairfax delegate said he Il
ready to offer q substitute plan
but that he is not ready TO dis

Amend the State constitution

Mr.. Webb said opponents are

the fact that it win be an emer-
gency bill. This means it will re-
Iquire a four -fifths vote Of both
houses for passage.
Thus 1t would need the ap-

This is such an obvious move

said. This would end up in an
endless round OF litigation.
Politically we have to recog-

In all these fields, the associa-

More could be put into educa-

rehabilitation.

Hope for Bonanza.
Heart Association officials,
therefore. are not sure how much
money will be brought in. They
hope 1t is enough to support the
triangle they have been building
here since 1926. Its sides are:
/. Research. This is carried on
by local institutions using local
funds. as well as by other insti-
tutions given money by the ma
tional American Heart Associa-
tion. "a fourth of the money
collected here and in other To-
calities goes to the national
group. Half Of that must be used
for research).
2. Education. This is double
barreled. Teaching the public
the facts Of heart disease and
bringing to busy doctors the lat
est research and information on
the killer.
The association, in its public
education, uses every channel
open to it-especially the free
ones. Newspapers, radio, tele-
vision, speakers at meetings,
booklets and anything else it can
think Of.
Intense Program.
The intensity Of this program
is one of the reasons the associa-
ton cannot estimate how many
persons are affected by its work.
I'VE try to reach everybody"
says Miss Bea Hodgson, execu-
tive director. I'VE try to give
accurate information about the
disease and what's being done
in the field without soaring every
body and creating a Nation Of
'cardio-neurotics.'"
One Of the points stressed in
this psychological warfare is
that heart disease strikes with
utter disregard Of age. sex, race
or economic level.

what most people understand
best, the association believes.
Rehabilitation is now the strong

trast to the days when the group

RABBI A SUPER SALESMAN?

If this ad appears to solicit Is

better be reread. What this syna-

Unhappi1y, its substance is true,
rejecting the situation in too
many American Jewish communi-
ties today.
Congregations, in seeking men
to fill pulpits, tend increasingly
to place first things last, valuing
dependable skills over non-ex-
pandable talents. At the same
time, conscientious rabbis are dis
covering that dispensable duties
are crowding out their indispen-
sable task-spiritual leadership.
They are deeply concerned. But
the American Jewish community,
which bears the primary respon-
sibility for creating the current
dilemma, unwittingly continues to
compound it.
THE FACT is, as one contem-
plates the American Jewish scene

quently asked question overheard
at rabbinical conventions is, ''But
when do you find time to study?"
This is not so much genuine in
quiry as it is a poignant COM

tones of wistful anxiety, they do
not expect answers. only confir-
nation tn a their problem is

called religious revival" appar-
ent throughout the country, new
synagogues, each lovelier and
costlier than the next, enhance
the landscape. Membership is
growing; synagogue attendance
inches up. Some observers see in
all these manifestations healthy
return to religion on the part of
the "lost generation" and their
offspring. Others, less optimistic,
attribute this upsurge not so
much to genuine religious fervor
as to the desire to. conform to
new patterns of living, the quest
for recreation under congenial
auspices, and variety of other
non-spiritual factors.

WHATEVER THE reasons be-
hind these developments, there is
ample evidence of a quickening
interest among American Jews in
our religious traditions. Minds
that were shut tight during col
lege days are showing signs of
opening. Young children ar
drawing their parents into the
learning process. And in their
effort to set down firm roots in
a fluctuating world, other Jews
are being impelled to reexamine
their own heritage for stabilizing
values.
This is the extent of the chal-
lenge. Obviously it cannot be met
by superficial Men of Distinction,
of whatever height; or by charm
boys; or by glib backslappers. The
deeper the questions are nova
days, the more complex the an
swers, the more searching and
gifted the minds that supply
them. The times cry out for spir-
itual leadership of the highest

unique responsibility to the Jew
