share-croppers are building to-

for their families in case of their
death. To qualify for this valu-
able family protection. they
must have net earnings of al

Operations in a year.
Share-croppers, like farm OPP
orators, reported their earnings
for social security purposes for
the year 1855 by filing an in

schedule. Share-croppers must
file these tax returns with the
District Director of Internal Re-

credits for their farming opera
ItionS, even though they may not
owe any income tax. Under a
recent Interpretation issued by
the Internal Revenue Service

this area would be considered
as Self-employed. The land

LONDON, Feb. II R.-The
House Of Commons ordered Prime

night to draft a bill abolishing
the death penalty in Britain. Sir

waved their arms.
Sir Anthony. whose govern 4

there would be mo undue delay"

legislation. But he added the !

No Defeat for Cabinet
Although the government
wanted capital punishment re-

mons repeats its vote, the House |

PLAIN TALK
FUN OF BEING A JEW
BY ALFRED SEGAL

My friend Milf was handing me
some ideas on how to run a Jew
ish column. though Milf is in an
other business altogether. He
said: Jewish columnists push too
hard on the pain of being Jewish.
as if there were no fun in Jewish
life. though there's plenty of
that"
Naturally, I spoke up to Milt
"That doesn't describe my
column. That column of mine
more often gives out a twinkle
and a laugh than any look of
anguish" told Milt about the
scolding letter l had received
from a Jacksonville guy who
thought was trying to be in
decently funny in a recent COL
umn; it was a bit of laugh at Re-
form Judaism eyes, Milt, /
might say that mine really is one
of the brighter ones"
Says who?" Mill sneered. He
went on TO say. though. that he
wasn't meaning TO find fault with
my column in particular {.
What really mean is to suggest
to you and all other Jews is the
fun that's in being Jewish. Our
leaders try 10 make Jewish life
so sad. I go TO those big public
Jewish dinners and what do get
from them after the roast beef or
the chicken a la king? Dinner
over. I get overwhelmed by
lamentations from off the speak
ers' table >. OF. Yoi. Yoi over this
and al. Yai over that They
make you want to cry almost. I
have left many a Jewish dinner
broken-hearted. The same goes
for lot Of Jewish columnists."
Milf went on to say that he
himself finds plenty of pleasure
out of being Jewish +. II enjoy
every day. brush away the tears
with which our speakers fill my
eyes and apply myself to the fun
of being Jewish. It's really some
thing. Only the Irish and the
Italians are able to get as much
fun out of their identities as Jews.
It's all in our cultures :. F.. for us,
the Irish and the Italians.
THE pleasure Of being Jewish
comes out Of sources even much
deeper than of the cultural pleas
nres of the Irish and Italians. We
are SO much. older than they.
'How we Jews like to tell those
funny stories on ourselves, though
we may resent hearing them out
Of the mouths of people who
aren't Jews. They just don't know
how to tell 'em with proper af-
lection like it's done in the
family circle. And that reminds
me of something Segal, have
you heard this one? Stop me if
YOU have"

PERSONALLY, 1 do not feel that
meeting of the Security Council
would make an immediate contri-
button to the situation" Mr.. Ham
marskjold told correspondents at
the United Nations. What can
the Security Council contribute at
this juncture?" theUN chief ask
ed in answer to questions put to
him as to possible Council action.
Asked whether any of the big
powers had come up with any
firm suggestions in regard to
pacifying the Middle East, he
stated that there have been con-
situations ''but l know nothing of
any firm plans"
Reiterating his previous plea
for calmness and against "over-
dramatizing" the Middle East ten
sions, Mr.. Hammarskjold asserted
that while the tenseness is Eek
tremely regrettable," he is certain
that war is not around the cor
ner." He based his certainty, he
said, on his firm belief that there
are forces in the Middle East that
do not want war, and pointed, by
way of illustration, to the speech
made in the Israel Parliament,
last week by Israel Premier,
David Ben Gurion in. which, Mr..
Hammarskjold said, the Israeli
statesman, "discards war;"
Eisenhower Indicates Opposition
To Arms For Israel
At the press conference here
where he urged UN action, Presi-
dent Eisenhower indicated his
firm opposition to the sale of arms
by the United States to Israel.
The President justified United
States munitions shipments to
Saudi Arabia, but expressed be-
lief that arms sales to Israel
would not insure peace, citing the
Arab populations as contraSted
with the population of Israel. He
said the great thing the United
States was trying to do was to
avoid an farms race"
The President told his press
conference that the question of
United States arms sale TO Saudi
Arabia should be taken with a.
grain of salt" He went on to
justify such transactions, stating
that a few" tanks and other
material were bought and paid
for under export licenses issued
a long time ago"
Presenting arguments against
the sale of arms to Israel, he ques-
toned the absorptive capacity of
Israel, stressing the larger popu71
lations in the surrounding Arab |
states. He evaded direct comment
on the Jordanian custer of British |
General John B. Club from COM
mand of the Arab Legion. He said
The Southern Jewish weekly. [volume] (Jacksonville, Fla.) 1939-1992, 1956-03-16

he would rather hear this mat
ter discussed from London.
Mr.. Eisenhower said that any
body who would minimize the
dangers of the situation would be
more than complacent. He indi-
Gated a belief that the problem
could not be improved by public
discussion. sHe said the United
States and Britain were both try
ing to promote friendship among
the potential enemies" in the
Middle East. I'VE try to be friends
to both sides. as indeed does
Britain. in the hope that by doing
that we can promote real under
standing and friendship between
them" the President stated.
Meanwhile, the Defense De-
partment announced here that
battalion of U. S. Marines will be
sent to the Middle East. The ma
rines are being dispatched as
result of the Joint Chiefs of Staff
recommendations in view of the
danger of Arab-Israel war.
The official announcement said
the marine unit. described as a
reinforced battalion Of about 1900
men is being sent to replace
similar force Withdrawn from the
Mediterranean last Spring. The
marines will be assigned to the
U. S. Sixth Fleet forces in Eastern
Mediterranean waters. The bat
TALON will sail about a week. It
will cross the Atlantic in attack
transport of the Atlantic Fleet.
Earlier, Israel made known to
the State Department it's "sense
of grave concern" over recent ag-
gressive military actions by Syria,
an Israel spokesman announced.
Israel circles said that their ap-
prehensions that continued West
ern refusal to sell arms to Israel
would increase the war danger
has been fulfilled by increased
hostility from Syria, Jordan, and
Egypt. These circles feel that
should this tension erupt into
warfare the biggest single cause
will be the failure to sell vital
military equipment to Israel. The
Western attitude has encouraged
Arab hostility in the Israel view.
The United States has not taken
action on a single item on the Is
rael arms list, Israel circles re-
ported.
