The average American does not feel that
American boys should be killed in the Mid
die East, as they were in Korea 1t is pos
sible for this country to take strong action,
against an aggressor in the Middle East,
without employing ground troops in actual
fighting.
If bloodshed erupts on an about scale,
between the Arabs and Israelis, Congress
should, at that time. decide whether u S.
troops should eanter the war. If one regi-
ment Of U. S. troops is involved, the entire
action may erupt into a small scale
war since we are not going to
abandon small force and since we would
not allow any other nation to devastate
our forces without eventually broadening
our efforts so as to terminate the fighting
to our advantage.

ventions in August. This might be shrewd
move, and would be calculated to put the
Democrats on the spot, as far as the farmer
is concerned.
Mr.. Eisenhower, as President, has the
power to call Congress into special session
at any time he wishes, and if he called the
EightyFourth Congress back into special
session. to act in what he termed a farm
emergency. lawmakers would be almost
obligated to do something in behalf of the
farmer. Whatever was done, even in DEM
ocratic Congress, would bring some credit
to the Republican President. since he
would have been the one who called Con-
gress back into special session
1t is possible that. in this way. the Pres-
dent might nullify some of the bad reaction
which has resulted in farm sections to his
veto of the acknowledgements farm
relief bill. The President, it seems, has an
ace up his sleeve, and it might prove to be
an effective one.

Merry Month of May

Springs laSt-born. cear-eyed, sweet.
PauseS moment. with twinkling feet.
And golden locks. in breezy play,
Half teasing and half tender to repeat.
Her song of May Susan Coolidge
THE ARRIVAL OF MAY marks the end
of the first third of 1856 1t is also the
last full month of Spring, since Summer
arrives in June.
May is nostalgia month to most Ameri-
cans, not only because May 30th is Me
mortal Day, but for many other reasons,
as we'll. This month students all over the
country complete their school years. and
millions graduate from either high school
or college, and many of them take their
first fling in our free enterprise system.
In some sections of our country, May
Day is celebrated by sports festivals or
other ceremonies, and there is usually
May Queen and May court, in the near
vicinity, each May.
The most widely accepted version Of the
origin of the word May is the theory that
it comes from the word Maia, who was the
mother of Mercury. Maia was the eldest Of
the Pleiades, the seven daughters of At
las and Pleione. She is supposed to have
been the mother of Hermes, and the Ro-
mans identified her with Maia Majesta,
an Italian goddess of Spring.
1t was thought in those days that May
was an unlucky month for marriage be-
cause the festival of the goddess of chastity
and the festival of the unhappy dead were
both held in May. Thus June has become
the month of marriages.

Soil Bank and Politics

ONE of the hot political questions being
- passed around in Washington these
days is the report that high Republicans
are urging President Eisenhower to call
special session of Congress prior to the
November elections for the purpose Of aid
ing the farmer.
AS this is written. Congress is trying to
decide what to do about the Presidents
veto of the farm relief bill, and whether
to pass soil bank bill as the President
and top Republicans have suggested
In our opinion, chances are good Con-
gress will pass a soil bank bill. Democratic
leaders had conceded that there was enough
agreement on this point to enable a sepa-
rate soil bank bill to win passage even be-
fore the President vetoed the omrbus
farm relief bill.
If, however, Congress does not enact
satisfactory pay-in-advance soil bank bill,
the President might be inclined to call
Congress into special session after the con-

Middle East Pot Boils

CECRETARY OF STATE DULLES has
y Indicated Congress might be asked to
give President Eisenhower blankcheck
authority to use U. S. troops in the Middle
East. We are opposed to such action on
the part of Congress.
While we think President Eisenhower's
judgment is as capable as any other
American, on this subject it seems obvious
that the United States has no business in
tervening in the Middle East with ground
troops.
The trouble with Intervention. with
ground force. is that no one knows exactly
where such Intervention would lead. The
United States might, as a result, become
begged down in an action which required
more and more manpower, and more and
more of our resources, and which caused
surprisingly large casualties.

QUESTION: Why is it that
Plus Jews consider il necessary 70
cut their finger nails in prepara-
tion for the Sabbath? "a. B.. Fox
bury. Mass.)
ANSWER: Since the Sabbath
is the holiest and most important
day of the week, it is logical that
a man can be cleanest for the
Sabbath. The Zohar exodus 208
b. gives us mystical meaning
for this custom. When Adam
was originally created he was ar
rayed with precious garments
that covered him in a protective
fashion. After he had sinned,
these garments were taken from
him. All that remained as SYM
Dol of these garments were the
finger nails that remained on his
hands and on his feet, indicating,
perhaps that the garments were
some sort of material comparable
to the finger nails. These finger
nails have an outer edge of i'm
purity. Cutting them indicates a
symbolic removal of the impurity
that remained from that time on.
Since it was on the eve of the
Sabbath that Adam sinned, it is
perhaps most appropriate that the
finger nails be cut on Friday to
remind us of this and to purify us
in preparation for the Sabbath.
QUESTION: Why do Plus Jews
refrain from throwing away the
finger nails carelesslY?
ANSWER: It is stated in Rab-
binic literature that the most
pious burn their finger nails.
Some bury them. The Zohar
writes that one must not cast
away the finger nails in a place
where people pass, lest harm
come to them. Some texts claim
that finger nails cast away in the
street are especially injurious to
pregnant women.
Most people cast the cuttings
down the drain and flush them,
which is comparable to burning.
It is also understandable from a
practical standpoint that finger
nail cuttings have sharp edges
and cause cuts. Also, dirt collects
underneath the finger nails and it
is preferable that cuttings be dis
carded in such a way as to pre-
vent other humans from coming
in contact with their impurity.
