Justices Weigh
Marriage Test

Virginia's ban on interracial
marriages may come up soor
for another test in the Supreme
Court because of differences be-
tween that tribunal and the
State Supreme Court Of Appeals
over handling of a miscegenation
case.
The high court is expected to
announce next Monday whether
1t will reassume jurisdiction in
q case it returned to Virginia
courts last December with re-
quest for additional information
A motion to recall the mandate
is on the courts conference
agenda this week.
The case involves the 1852
marriage of a Chinese seaman,
Ham Say Naim. and Ruby E
Naim in Elizabeth City. N. c.,
in 1852. The couple went to
Norfolk. Va. Immediately after
the marriage and lived together
more than a year until Mrs. Naim
obtained an annulment under
the Virginia miscegenation law
The State Supreme Court upheld
the annulment as well as con-
stitutionality of the law.
When Mr.. Naim appealed to
the United States Supreme Court
and claimed the State law vio-
lated Fourteenth Amendment
provisions, the high court said it
would not hear arguments at
that time on the merits OF the
case. It vacated the State Su-
preme Courts order and directed
that the case be returned to the
Portsmouth VA trial court for
further information because the
original record was too made
quate for determination of jur-
additional and constitutional
questions.
The State Supreme Court last
month rejected that order. 1t
insisted that the record was Suf-
ficient in the particular case. The
State court also adhered to its
decision which held the Naim
marriage invalid.

Holiday Fire
Hoxords Toke
The Lives Of 23

Fires across the nation have
killed 20 persons, most OF them
children, on the eve Of the Christ
raAs holiday celebration.
"AIl but 10 Of the firse victims
were children eagerly awaiting the
excitement and gifts Of Christ
mas"
That was last year. VIII II hap
pen again this year?
And the saddest thing Is that
such tragedies often occur around
the Christmas holiday--sometimes
even around the Christmas tree
itself at the happiest time OF the
year.
The reason the tree burns so
fiereely and so rapidly Is be-
cause It's filled with pitch and
rosin among the most combust-
ible substances known.
What can you do about the
tree?
The Ms.F,P.A. offers these II
suggestions:
/. Choose a small tree. It's less
dangerous than a large one.
2. Don't set II up until a few
days before Christmas. Until then,
keep IL outdoors This will keep II
moist, fresh.
.. Place II In the coolest part
Of the house, away from fireplaces
and radiators, And don't let II
block an exit.
4 Stand II In water, or use a
live tree, planted in a tub Of earth.
8. Never use untreated cotton
or untreated paper for the decora-
tons on or around the tree.
o. DO not put electric trains
under the tree.
7. Use only electric lights, never
candles, and see that the wires are
not frayed BE sure that the wiz
ing sets for lights you choose bear
the marking of Underwriters

Laboratories, Inc. That shows they
have been tested for safety.
8. Provide a switch some dis
lance from the tree for turning
tree lights off and on. Don't plug
or unplug them beneath the tree.
8, Throw away all gift wrap
pings as soon as the presents have
been opened. Don't let them pile
up near the tree.
10. Do not leave the lights burn
ing when no one Is home.
IL. II needles near the lights
turn brown, move the lights.
IL. When needles start to fall,
take the tree down and discard il.

MISS ISRAEL BALKS AT

LONG BEACH, Calf, (JTA) -
A publicity mans dream picture
very nearly never got made here
last week. The incident occurred
when Sara Tai, Miss Israel, COM
peting for the title of Miss Uni
verse, was asked to pose with
Marina Orschel, Miss Germany.
Miss Tai at first refused to pose
as requested. She said, ''If posed
with her, l would be afraid to go
home and face my mother" All of
her mothers family were wiped
out by the Nazis during World
War II. But evidently counsels of
international amity prevailed and

8 YEAR OLD JEWISH GIRLS
GIFT TO ARAB CHILDREN
GETS REPLY FROM NASSER

NEW YORK, (JTA) = An eight
year old Jewish girl who sent
Egyptian president Nasser So "to
buy some clothes for the Arab
children" and included plea
against war with Israel, has re-
ceived letter of thanks from the
Egyptian leader. The girl is Deb
orah Rabinowitz, daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. Milton Rabinowitz.
Deborah's father said that she
had been deeply touched by a
television program she saw de-
picting the poverty of the Arabs
and asked her mother to send
some clothing which was about to
be discarded. When her parents
told her this was impractical, she
decided on money gift. Her let
ter said: 81 saw on TV how poor
the Arab children were and so
am sending you So of my Passover
money that l had saved to buy my
little sister a Passover present.
Please buy some clothes for the
Arab children. Please don't have a
war with Israel because the chill
dren might get hurt. l promise I
will send more money"
The Egyptian leaders reply ex-
pressed thanks for the donation
to refugee children dissipated by
Israel and to commend your really
noble feeling. I should like you to
believe that Egypt has no aggres-
sive intentions whatsoever. Our
mission is one of peace and par
ticipation in any effort devoted to
the good of humanity and to the

WASHINGTON, (JTA) = Pres

learned here.
The President wrote a letter to
Senator Arthur V. Watkins, spon-
sor of a series of amendments to
the McCarran-W Walter Immigra-
ton Act and the Refugee Relief
Act. Mr.. Eisenhower's letter en-
phasized that unless Congress acts
at the present session, immigra-

will be drastically reduced when
the visas that have been available
to those countries under the Ref
ugee Relief Act are exhausted this
summer.

Israel demanded immediate ac-
tion by Jordan TO prevent aggres-
sive acts and violations of the
armistice and called on the Mixed
Armistice Commission to discuss
definite ways and means for the
maintenance of tranquility along
the borders. instead Of merely
passing resolutions of censure.
IsraePs demand was voiced at
a meeting of the Israel-Jordan
MAC called to discuss an attack
near Yahud in which an Israeli
civilian was murdered by four
khaki-clad Jordanians. The Israeli
delegate, Maj. Shalom Doron,
pointed out that Jordan had paid
no heed to former condemnations
and it was, therefore, pointless to
obtain still another condemnation.
Israel he said. demanded action
and not mere words. Maj. Doron
went on TO point out to the UN
body that the organization of
"fedaYeen" sabotage squads) was
continuing. with the object Of
spreading terror in Israel. He
added that if soldiers and civilians
in Jordan are TO cease their at
tacks. their leaders must end their
warlike proclamations and the
"fedaYeen"-whose very existence
is contrary TO the terms of the
General Armistice Agreement
must be disbanded.
"The last resolution of the Mix
ed ArmiStice Commission" Maj.
Doron continued, 'could not have
stressed with greater force the
dangerous situation created along
the border. The Jordanian attacks
have seriously undermined the

run for President If for any
reason he drops out Of the
race before election?" "No, he
cannot" was his answer.
