Lehmans attention to the section Of the Air Force manual
which states that individuals Of Jewish faith will not be
issued vsas for Jordan and Saudi Arabia Why aren't the
rights of free passage through these countries demanded for
all American citizens regardless of their religion creed?
the chaplain asked in his letter to Sen Lehman Why does
recognize religious distinction in the partial
distribution of international privileges accorded to its travel

Senator Lehman in relayng the chaplans queries the
Defense Department said: MY objection directed of
against the quoted language the manual but against
tolerance Of the condition to which the regulation is
directed"
Talbot replied that Arab restrictions mot within the
prerogative of the State Department the military to
change He said that Saudi Arabia and Jordan do not issue
vsas of the Hebrew race for of internal
security and that these regulations apply to American Jews
well to Jewish people of all nations.
Taking with this reply Sen. Lehman II had

QUESTION: Why is the prac-
tice of "Tefillin" synonymous
with Bar Mitzvah?"
ANSWER: A boy who reaches
the age of Bari itzvah is held
responsible for the Commandment
of putting On the Tefillin, much
the same as he is obliged to keep
other commandments. The Tefil-
lin have stood out more than
O her Commandments because
while he could have observed
other acts and Commandments
before his Bar-Mitzvah, the DON
ming of Tefillin is especially re-
Stricted until month or two be-
fore his Bar Mitzvah. The reason
for this is that the Tefillin carry
with them a special Command
ment to watch" them.
A boy who is yet immature and
cannot be careful enough over
things such as Tefillin was eau
toned not to wear them lest he
fail to exercise due care over
them. A boy of thirteen was re-
garded mature enough to exercise
due care over the Tefillin. Others
claim that Tefillin b e C m e
synonymous with Bar-Mitzvah be-
cause Tefillin became an immedi-
ate daily duty while many other
Commandments came upon him
at specific time or occasion.

QUESTION: Why do some peo-
pie customarilY eat some type of
''stuffing" on the Sabbath?
ANSWER: The commentaries
claim that this is a symbol of the

mamma was covered with dew so
is the delicacy used for the stuff

is stuffed in.

QUESTION: Why is it custom
airy to eat fish on the Sabbath?
ANSWER: A number of reasons
are offered for this custom. Some
claim that fish is eaten on the
Sabbath because it was considered
a great delicacy in earlier years
and one was supposed to save the
best food for the Sabbath. Others
claim that fish have always been
looked upon as an omen of plenty
and fertility. An interesting COM
'ment is one offered by those who
claim that eating fish on the Sab
bath is symbolic of the Messianic
hope that the righteous will eat
of the Leviathan in the days to
come. The Sabbath is supposed to
be sample Of the Messianic era.
Thus the fish would be a sample
of the food of the Leviathan, and
the meat of the Sabbath would be
a symbol for the meat of the wild

rible struggle before final peace

Senators Back
Compromise on
School Pay
SIS Million Measure
Offers l0% Ruise fol
Teachers With B.A.

Unanimous approval was
voted today by the Senate Dis
trict Committee for a COM
promise bill providing increased
pay for teachers and officers in
the District public schools.
The total cost is estimated at
$2.5 million.
The bill, which now goes to
the Senate for action. is a revi-
sion of an earlier bill sponsored
by Senator Beall, Republican.
Of Maryland. The revision was
worked out by the fiscal sub
committee which is headed by
Senator Bible. Democrat. of
Nevada, and includes Senators
Gore. Democrat, of Tennessee
and Senator Beall.
1t provides for a 10.4 per cent
increase in the minimum pay for
teachers holding a bachelor of
arts degree. Their entrance pay
of $3,440 would be raised to $3.-
800. Their present maximum of
$5,204 would go to $500. Teach
ers with a master of arts degree
now have a range from $4,016 to
$5.791. Their new scale would
be from $4,000 to 5000.
The bill also includes a salary
provision which has been urged
for some years by various school
groups. This is a pay scale for
teachers having a masters de-
gree and at least 80 hours of
work toward a doctors degree.
1t is an incentive plan to encotlr-
age teachers to work for a doc
torate. Under this classification
the minimum would be $4,000
and the maximum $6,500.
The bill also proposes a pay
raise of $4,000 for the superin-
tendent of schools. His present
pay of $4,000 would be raised to
$4,000. Committee members
were impressed by reports show
ing that the District superin-
tendent is paid less than the
superintendent of any other
major city in the country.

The latest thing in television
prompters, those forensic falsieS
that enable a person reading a
speech to pretend to be speaking
from memory, is so transparent
anyone can see through it..
That's why it is so deceiving.
1t has a simple pane of glass,
usually placed inconspicuously
near the orator. actor or what
ever. Beneath the pane, out Of
the audiences view, a protector
reflects onto the glass the text
as it winds off reels.
The reflection can be seen
only by the speaker. The audi
ence, and even the others on the
speakers platform. see only an
innocent appearing sheet OF
glass.
TV Adaptation
With several of these around
him, a speaker can pretend to
glance all over the hall. But
he's not looking at the custom
ers at all. He's merely shifting
his gaze from one book" to
another.
An adaptation can be used on
a TV camera. The pane is in
front of the lens. The reflection
is invisible from the lens and
a performer can stare straight
out of your living room screen
without glancing down or
around to consult notes.
The contrivance is perhaps the
outstanding attraction among

TVMenW Warned
Of Regulation

The television industry's chief
watchdog today called on broad
casters for a voluntary good
behavior" program to forestall
Government regulation.
John E. Fetzer, Kalamazoo,
Mich, chairman Of the Televi-
sion Code Review Board, warned
the industry cannot abide
blatant responsibility"
He addressed a conference
this morning of the National
Association of Radio and Tele-
vision Broadcasters convention.
The convention ends tonight.
In a prepared address. Mr..
Fetzer said there is no reason
now, and there will be none in
the future, for further regula-
tion unless we ourselves
through indifference - provide
it.
Basic TenetS In Code
"On way to avoid such a tragic
pattern of surrender is through
voluntary observance of the basic
tenets of good behavior con-
tained in the television code. I
commend that course of action. -
Mr.. Fetzer said $50 TV broad
casters and 4 networks subscribe
to the code, and that some of
the nations big advertisers have
modified their TV copy to meet
its requirements.
Experience has shown that the
broadcasters who have been
most mindful" of the code are
those who, for the most part,
have been most successful COM
mercially. he added.
He said the members of the
code board have heard many
complaints, explaining:
1--WE have heard from the vari-
Gus mathematical crime counting
societies, from the investigating
committees, the organized drys,
and the organized vets. from the
diverse groups seeking to prevent
cruelty to animals, from doctors,
dentists, ministers of nearly all
faiths, astrologists, lawyers and
school teachers.
Questionable Programs
II think it possible that we
have heard too little from the
broadcaster himself and per-
haps far to little from the pub
lie at large. 1t is likely that the
average member of the general
public. uninhibited by pressure
groups, is directing any COM
ments he may have elsewhere
rather than at the station, the
network or the code BOARD"
Mr.. Fetzer said it is equally
conceivable" that the public
thinks television is doing "a
creditable Job and is not in such
full rebellion as some would lead
us to believe" But he added
"The television industry has
its responsibilities. There remain
far too many programs of ques-
tionable value. 1t is inevitable
that television will be held ac-
countable for it's decorum in the
matter of production.

sioner's order which was sub
mitted to them today.
The assistant engineer COM

slum prevention program.
The proposed council would
serve three-year staggered terms.
They would serve without pay.

II members appointed by the
Board of Commissioners on the
basis of their experience. repu-
tation, or demonstrated interest
in one or more of the many
fields affected by the urban re-
newal program. e.g., business, fl
nance, construction, labor, re-
ligion, education, social welfare
and related fields of civic en-
deavor."
Name Own Chairman
Unde the proposed order, the
council would determine its own
organization and name its own
chairman and vice chairman. It
also would determine its own
rules of procedures.
The purpose of the council,
the order says, shall be to ad-
wise the Board of Commissioners,
through the assistant engineer
commissioner for urban renewal,
on policy and operational as
poets of the District of Colum-
bia urban renewal program.
The order also would let the
council make such recommen-
dations as it may deem appro-
pirate with respect to policy
