Various statements of the con-
trolling interests show that in
their efforts to make their in
vestment as profitable as pos
sible they have considered that
the properties of the company
might some day be transferred
to some form of Government
ownership at full book-value.
IF this were done, 1t would
mean that the stockholders
would receive in the vicinity of
1870 a share, or four times as
much as the present controlling
Interests paid for their stock.
"The crisis created by a strike
could be and in some cases has
been the occasion for a change
from private to Government
ownership.
"The position of the manage
ment which. until the Commits
sioners had recommended this
bill, denied all bargaining with
out advance provision for in
creased income, could well have
been in support of such an OBJ
ljective," Mr.. Spencer said.

There have been theree SER
ious anti-Semitic drives in the
Soviet Union in the last Is years,
each of which was government
inspired and government-insti-
gated" Mr. Salisbury reported.
1.-TWO of those drives occurred
within the last five years. The
third was a wartime phenomen-
on. "These calculated campaigns
against the Jews, together with
the horrible determinations car
ried out on Russian territory dur
ing World War II by the Germans
have virtually wiped out Jewish
communal and, cultural life in
the Soviet Union, where in the
early days of the revolution, it
had received considerable en-
couragement.

SEES NO REVIVAL of JEWISH
TRADITIONS and CULTURE
However, as far as Jewish re-
igion and Jewish culture is con-
cerned, the present government
benign policy toward Jews comes
almost too late" Mr.. Salisbury
reported. There is little left to
preserve. The Jews have been
too widely scattered and too
harshly prosecuted, simply be-
cause of the fact that they are
Jews, to make any early revival
of either custom or religion like
ly or even feasible"
The first recent anti-Semitic
outbreak in the Soviet Union took
place shortly after the beginning
of World War II. Mr.. Salisbury
noted. Its most spectacular man.
,, Hesitation was the circulation in
Moscow of runors that the Jews
are deserving Moscow" II was
said that rich Jews had bought
places, on the evacuation trains
and fled to the East.
''The truth was that the gov
eminent itself had evacuated a
number of rich JewS'-artiSts,
singers and writers-in a general
organized movement of certain
classes of intelligentsia," the N. Y.
Times correspondent stated. "The
rumors actually had been started
by the government in order to
divert the resentment of the vast
majority of Muscovites, who were
being left behind. Possibly to the
surprise of the government, the
anti-Semitic reports snowballed
to such an extent that many de-
partment chiefs to discharge all
department chiefs began to dis
charge all Jews from their stats.
Professors were relieved of their
university posts. Many Jews lost
their deferred status and were in

PLAIN TALK
BY ALFRED SECAL
DEATH OF A WAITER

There was a big Jewish funeral
in our town the other week or so.
It was Jewish in the ritual but
the hundreds who were there
were Catholic. Protestant. agnos-
tic. as well as Jewish. It had to do
with great gentleman who was
of the walters union.
He had gone serving far beyond
hotel and tavern tables; had
troubled himself about the way
a lot of people have to live as
they scrape along by the week
to make ends meet in their house
holds; he had carried banners,
you might say, toward a better
way of life for all people.
BY these ways Hugo Ernst ex-
pressed himself out of our Torah.
He was the international presi-
dent of the union of waters. hotel
workers and bartenders.. But in
this position he was not just
president sitting in grand author
itY at desk. Hugo Ernstis idea
seemed to be that from this eleva-
zion he could speak out as a sort
of prophet in todaY's world.
do not know how exactly
Jewish Hugo Ernst was in ritual
utilization. but l could feel he
was Jewish enough in the sense of
what's said in Leviticus about
loving the neighbor as ones self,
in the sense of the prophet who
told us that justice and mercy
ale Of the divine essence, in the
sense of the other prophet who
told us we are brothers under
one Father.
So could respect Hugo Ernst
as a dedicated Jew. regardless of
any formal affiliation he may or
may not have had. He had his
international office in our town
and / used to see him often along
our downtown streets: his snow
white hair a-flutter. for he never
wore hat. A most dignified gen.
tleman-6ignitY was of his char.
acter-even when he was publicly
wearing a flowerY shirt of the
Hawaiian pattern. He had died at
age 70.
The official journal of the in
ternational union of walters, no.
tel workers and bartenders was
practically all about Hugo Ernst
in the month of his death. It's
managing editor, Mr.. Fred Sweet,
had written of him: "Hugo Ernst
was born in Varazadin, a small
town in the hills of Croatia. He
was the second of the village
rabbits sons. Rabbi Ignatz Ernst,
a scholarly figure and wise one,
insisted that the boys be educated
for the professions. Hugo made
plans for a career in journalism"
That was the time when Croat-
ia was of the empire of Austria
and of the Emperor Franz Josef.
and young men like Hugo Ernst
were restive for freedom. Young
Hugo's ideals went farther than
a goal of political independence:
the land must be not only politi-
callY free but also socially just:
the humblest would have his due
of qainful work and contented
living. To-day that's called social
justice!)
