Racial Intolerance

One OF the lnOSC serious prop
lens confronting the United
States at present is the peace
full solution of racial integra-
ton, with common sense and
justice as far as possible. The
problem is not new. but 1t has
been growing in urgency for
many years.
After World War /. H. G.
Wells wrote in "The Outline of
History"
There are unhopeful proph-
cts who see in the gathering
together of men into one COM
munity the possibility of vio-
lent race conflicts. conflicts for
ascendancy, but that is to sup
pose that civilization is in
capable of adjustments by
which men of different quail
tiles and temperaments and
appearances will live side by
side, following different roles
and contributing diverse gifts.
The weaving of mankind into
one community does not imply
the creation of a homogeneous
community, but rather the re-
verse; the welcome and the
adequate utilization of distinc-
tive quality in an atmosphere
of understanding. It is the al
most universal bad manners
of the present age which make
race intolerable to race. The
community to which we may be
moving will be more mixed
which does not necessarily
mean more interbred-more
various and more interesting
than any existing community.
Communities all to one pattern.
like boxes of toy soldiers, are
things of the past rather than
the future.
1t is no doubt true that bad
manners of our age make race
intolerable to race.
Some men, like some plants,
can live together to good adj
vantage with some others, but
not with all. If you insist
on planting watermelons and
pumpkins close together, you
may reap a harvest which will
be unfit for use. either as
watermelons Or as pumpkins.
Corn and pumpkins can be
grown together successfully,
but you had better not plant
the pumpkins too soon. There
is urgent need for more Bur-
banks in our time.

Science Called
Vital 10 Future

Americas world leadership In
the face Of the Communist threats
depends on greater emphasis on
scientific education, Samuel
Lehner, vice president of the Du
Point Co. and adviser on research,
said last night.
In an address at the annual
dinner of the National Science
Teachers Association in the
Shnrheam Hotel, Mr.. Lehner
urged teachers to be statesmen
for science"
Scientific education has two
purposes, he said.
I'VE must make sure that all
of our people have enough
knowledge of science to take
useful places in the present and
future economy, and we must
also make sure that we have an
elite corps of bachelors, masters
and doctors of science sufficiently
large and creative to keep that
economy spinning safely through
the difficulties ahead" he de-
clared.
The election of Glenn o.
Blough, associate professor of
education at the University of
Maryland, as president-elect of
the association was announced
last night. New officers, chosen
by mail ballot, will take Office at

Although the manifesto of
the Southern congressman de-
nouncing the Supreme Court
Is Unexpectedly moderate in
its wording. it is important to
bear in mind the motivation
and sponsorship Of this docu-
ment. The whole thing was
inspired and composed by the
antediluvian segregationist
wing of the Democratic Party
OF the deep South, and its
basic aim is defiance of the
United States Government.
Perhaps nothing better is to
be expected of this crew. The
same mentality produced the
Gray PLAN" interposition, and
other forms of defiance. Seq
regation and other discrimina-
tory practices are obsolete in
modern America. and these
people are trying desperately
to prop the corpse up for a
few years longer.
One thing which shocked
me was that the two Repub-
lican Congressman from Vir-
GINA Joined with the supposed
enemy in signing the mani
festo. Do they not realize that
this was strictly a Democratic
move and should be left to the
Democrats?

The 96 Congressman who

In the vanguard of the trouble
makers, are seriously compli-
eating the efforts of sympa-
thetic people in every COM
munity, and their attack upon
the Supreme Court and their
defiance of its decision add
nothing to their stature.
It is unfortunate that they
did not see that their position
creates the very situation
which they pledge themselves
to prevent; that is, forced

by any means. legal or other

they avow resistance publicly,
fortunately by "legai means"
I earnestly pray that these
men will not push their con-
tention any further. This is
no time for national leaders to
give any encouragement to the
enemies of progress, justice

Puts Motorist Straight

K. M. Chrysler, in a letter
captioned Frustrated Motor
lst." said he carries Michigan
tags; therefore he needs D. c.
inspection and D. C. plates.
Actually. he needs to register
in the District only if he is. a
resident. AS a nonresident,
his plates are valid here for
80 days, the period established
by his home State on a re-
ciprocal basis.
He said he finally sue
ceeded in supplying our
inspection officials with suf-
ficlent documents" to secure
the windshield sticker. To
obtain inspection he had to
furnish these officials only
with proper proof of owner
ship.
He said he was "given the
alternative" of transferring
title and purchasing D. c. tags
good for five days, while in
the meantime the Michigan
plates had not expired. If his
Michigan plates have not ex-
pired and he is not a resident,
he need not purchase D. C.
tags of any kind for 80 days.
He said he was "given the
alternative" of appearing
again on March /, purchasing
new plates, and receiving in
structions for another inspec-
ton. If he implies that
another inspection is required
Immediately, that is incorrect.
Like any other vehicle regis
tered, his would have to be
inspected at some time during
the year commencing April /,
1856.
AS for waiting out the
creeping lineup on March L."
in what way does he differ
from any other applicant for
D. c. registration? No one
is obliged to register on March
l only. One can register on
any business day in the year.
He states there is no way
in which one can avoid 1.-The
fantastic waste of time" neces-
sary to securing tags on March
/. He does not have to wait
in line. He can secure his
tags comfortably by mail, like
thousands of others and waste
not a minute of time. At
this writing, more than $4,000
sets of tags have been mailed
to persons who did not stand
in line.
He states that Gin any civil

Zens can secure new license
plates any time after January
l and avoid the last-minute
rush. That is exactly what
Mr.. Chrysler should have done
here. He could have pur-
chased his plates at any time
after his arrival and, along
with $4,000 others, could have
renewed them with no waste

Cross in the Window

Our sacred Easter season is
fast approaching. and nat
urally our thoughts turn to
the Cross of Christ.
Why shouldn't each Chris
tan family put a cross in the
window. during Holy Week, or
at least on Good Friday?
Let us make the cross a
symbol of Easter as the tree
and the star are symbols of
Christmas. The cross belongs
to all Christians. And we must
be "Christ's living ambassa-
doris and spiritual interpret

Crisis in Schools

The Star has presented a
laudable outline of the school
situation. but it's time to stop
writing about it and solve it.
All we have to do is copy Pitts
burgh, where a new teaching
system has been set up and,
after a trial, found to solve
everything.
In Pittsburgh and surround
ing counties. all fifth-grade
classes receive combined in
struction by television. Glasses
remain in the same school
buildings, but a 24-inch TV
has been placed in the class
room, and a teacher broad
casts from a central downtown
point through an educational
TV station.
Each classroom has a super
vising teacher; but she gives
no lectures. just written tests.
The advantages of this sys-
tenn are that a very good
teacher can be used to broad
cast: and since only one teach
er must be employed for each
subject, recruiting is not a
financial problem. The teacher
who supervises the classroom
can give more time to individ-
ual students.

Regrettable as it is that the
ninth-grade children cannot
spell, I believe James G. Deane
IN his initial article on District
schools overlooked a fact that
refutes his statement, Basic
Learning Lays :"
He describes these children
as coming from junior high
in a 'low-income neighbour
hood, where background and
cultural opportunities are linn
tied and more problems are
thrown onto the school. (The
ninth-graders are in the next
to-the-lowest of the schools
five ninth-grade classes, and
are rated as slow learners J"
True, the youngsters did a
terrible job on the spelling, but
the basic learning was splen-
did. Here are these slow learn
ers. unaccustomed to "cultu-
raj opportunities" and whose
backgrounds are limited, yet
they are saying, do not waste
the last minute; Listen care
fully; try to understand; "Tty
to improve your reading, SPELL
ing; DO not play during class
period; by doing your les
sons every night and trying to
do it by yourself" Discounting
their bad spelling and the pos
slbility that some of them
were saying what they thought
the teacher might want them
to say. here are values that
are not only basic to learning,
out basic to good character.
That these boys and girls.
particularly. were aware of
what is right and what will
help them in school-and in
cidentally, in life, itself-is a
real achievement.

QUESTION: Why is the Torah
carried in the right hand?


ANSWER: 1t is usually claimed
that this practice carries out the
description in the Bible which
says of the Almighty "At His
right hand was fiery law unto
them" Deuteronomy 1879. 1t is
a general rule that the command
ments of the Torah including re-
ligious functions are carried in
with the right hand. Practically,
it is means of giving importance
to the object by using the strong
er hand to support it. Kabbalistic
sources attach purity to the right
and impurity to the left.

QUESTION:: Why is the name
of the Almighty often represented
in print by double letter "Yod"?
ANSWER: Traditionalists gen.
orally refrain f m writing out
the name of the Almighty. Thus
while the name of the Almighty
is actually represented in the
parchment scrolls by its usual let
tiers, in the printed Bibles it is
only symbolically represented.
The reason for choosing a double
"Yod" is said to be because the
first "Yod" represents the first
letter of the written word for the
name of the Almighty in the
Bible and the second letter "Yod"
represents the last letter of the
name as it is read, "Adonai," the
latter not being the actual origi-
nal pronunciation of the former.
Thus both the written and the
pronounced text are indicated
without spelling out the original
name.

QUESTION: Why are seven
people called TO the Torah on Sat
urday morning successfully,
while the portion of the week is
being read?
ANSWER: A number of various
reasons are offered for this Gus
tom. The Zohar claims that the
seven people represent the seven
voices amidst which the Torah
was given. These are the seven
voices referred to in the twenty
ninth Psalm. Some claim that it
refers to the seven days of the
week, the Sabbath being the eli
max of the week. Others claim
that the number was purposely
increased from the three who are
called up on Monday and Thurs
day, because of the many people
who could not attend the syna-
gogue during the week.
