scroll containing stories from
Genesis, Noah's biography,
Abraham's journey into Egg

gal Yadin, Hebrew University
archaeologist.
Speaking at a press confer

found in the Judean desert, is
not, as was first thought, a
Scroll of Lemech, although it
does contain stories in which
Lemech features, including
conversations in which he dis
cusses his belief that his wife
has borne a child who is ac-
tually the "son of God"
The scroll also contains,
said DR.. Yadin who deciphered
it, a description of the war of
the four kings.

700 Teachers
Needed Yearly

WASHINGTON (JTA) - A
plan to establish a national
commission for the education
and welfare of Jewish school
personnel was passed by the
third national conference on
Jewish education.
The action was the final
move of the four-day confer
ence which considered ways
to alleviate the teacher short
age in Jewish schools. The
need for long-range planning
to deal with the teacher short
age problem called for the
establishment of a permanent,
representative national COM
mission, according to the
findings of the conference.
1t is estimated that about
700 new teachers are needed
every year to fill faculty va
cancies in the $500 Jewish
weekday and Sunday schools
throughout the country. At

Hstory-Mokinq Program

In years to come it may be recognized
that one of the outstanding examples of
peacetime bipartisan cooperation in our
Government was enactment of the $33-
billion highway construction program in
1856. For this is a public works under
taking that promises a high return in
terms of benefit to the entire country 1t
is one for which the need is obvious and
for which the credit may be shared by
Republican administration and a Dem
ocratic- controlled Congress.
During the next IS years it is ex-
pected that 41,000 miles of modern
express highways will be built to link 80
per cent of all cities of more than $4,000
population. In the same period the pro-
gram contemplates comparable increase
In the building of secondary roads and
also provides for a continuing Federal
study of highway safety methods Fed
eral expenditures are estimated at $28
billion, with the States to contribute the
remainder and to supervise most of the
construction. Financing will be covered
by new and increased taxes on highway
users, pay-as-you-ride principle that
assesses the greatest cost on those who
gain the greatest benefit.
Congressional supporters of the plan
describe it as "the greatest governmental
construction program in the history of
the world" 1t is not an exaggerated
description and the long-term returns
should be comparably great

Versatile and UsefuF

Vice President Nixon has received
significant, and particularly timely, in
dorsement as running mate for a second
time with President Eisenhower. The
New York State delegation to the Repub-
lican National Convention has pledged its
unanimous support-96 votes and the
largest single bloc at the convention
to the Californian. It's only reservation
that whatever it does will be guided by
the Presidents preference"-even adds
strength to the Endorsement, since Mr..
Eisenhower himself has made clear his
liking for Mr. Nixon.
The timeliness of the New York
expression rests upon two circumstances.
Only few days earlier, score of Re-
publican Governors had Joined in reso-
luton indorsing Mr. Eisenhower for
second term, but--intentionally or other
wise-omitted any mention of the Vice
President. Not surprisingly, the omission
was widely interpreted as a deliberate
slight of Mr. Nixon, and some OF
those unfriendly toward his candidacy
have attempted to capitalize on 1t. The

Rezoninq Imposse

Zoning ConSultant Harold Lewis
tentative draft of coming revisions for
Washington has now been shown, and
explained, all over town. 1t leaves him
and large and influential element of
property owners as far apart as the poles.
What is going to be done about it?
There are three things that might
be done:
Mr.. Lewis himself should make a
careful review of controversial policies
on which his coming proposals are based.
He can do this against the background
Of testimony he has heard at ten public
meetings in the past two weeks. There
are dozens of requests from citizens that
he reconsider specific zoning changes.
Will any of these objections lead him to
modify his thinking as to the rigid re-
strictionS on downtown development new
parking requirements, disbursement of
population growth and the direction that
new development trends should follow?
The Citizens Zoning Advisory Com
mittee, meanwhile, should bring up to
date and act on subcommittee reports
covering the coming proposals. Both

been too generalized. Specific alternate
proposals from the committee would do
much to narrow the controversy.
The Commissioners must familiarize
themselves with the key issues and help
to solve them. Dispersal of business, the
downtown parking mess and the elimi-
nation of nonconforming land use are
political rather than technical questions.
The answers to such questions should
provide the basis for future coming
changes; but coming changes themselves
are not necessarily the right answers.
In the absence of any real guidance
on fundamental policies, Mr.. Lewis pro-
ceeded to replan Washington and pattern
his coming on the new plan. If public
sentiment here does not go along with
the new plan, Mr. Lewis should be so
informed now before he submits his final
draft. To postpone any decision until
he has left town probably will mean that
his coming proposals will gather dust on
a shelf, and nothing will come of his
expensive services.

fact that the big New York delegation,
in which Thomas E. Dewey has an influ-
entail voice, prefers the Californian does
much to neutralize the earlier implication
of unpopularity. Added force was given
by the wording of the New York resolu-
ton, describing Mr.. Nixon as IAN unusu-
ally versatile and useful Vice President"
The second timely factor is that
the resolution was adopted as the
Vice President was preparing to leave
for another trip to the Far East.
APPLY described in the New York resolu-
ton as an effective Ambassador of good
WILL" Mr.. Nixon in this instance will
represent our Government at the tenth
anniversary celebration of Philippine
independence in Manila on July 4, and
will go on from there to an independence
celebration of the South Wet Nam
republic in Saigon on July T. Mrs. Nixon
will accompany him, and there has been
ample evidence on previous trips by the
vice presidential couple that they are an
immensely popular pair. This impression,
If repeated, is almost sure to give added
stature to Mr. Nixon within a short time
of the all-important Republican conven-
ton in San Francisco.

Federal Pensions

The present administration
could not carry on if it were
not for the aid and help pro-
vided by faithful Government
clerks and technical employees.
Congress would be severely
crippled without their assist
ance.
Many years ago, Federal en-
ployes obtained from Congress
a small pension, the maximum
being $1,000 at that time.
During debate on the pension,
if my memory serves me right,
a certain Senator said that
such a bill would cost the Gov
eminent too much money and
in the interest of economy he
proposed that the retirement
age be increased from 10 to
70, on the theory, no doubt.
that many of them would be
dead before reaching 70.
1t appears that we have
some men of that type in the
present Congress.
The President vetoed a bill
to give Federal employees an
increase Of 7 per cent because
1t would affect his budget un-

About the Weather

There is an old saying that
everybody talks about the
weather but no one does any
thing about it. Now, this say
ing holds true in general, but
there is an exception. Our
Weather Bureau has taken
drastic action.
In the recent past, we have
sweltered under temperatures
rising as high as 81 degrees.
However, the Weather Bureau
won't agree with our figures; it
goes out to Virginia. reads its
own thermometer, and then
blandly assures us that Wash
ington's temperature is mere
90 degrees. There seems to be
a bit OF bureaucratic sleight-of-
hand in this temperature in
version. If this procedure is
kept up, the bureau is going to
lose one friend. 1t can't tell
me that I'm relatively cool
when I'm hot.
Furthermore, / am of the
opinion that when a man
sweats he should not be denied
the right of sweating under
accurately recorded thermal
conditions. Angus Sinclair.

Congress closed up shop on
June 80 a half a century ago
amid high praise from the
President and the Speaker of
the House. On July /, 1906,
The Star reported: "Presi-
dent Roosevelt last night on
the adjournment of Congress
dictated a statement concern
ing the work accomplished
during the session just ended.
He says that the present
Congress has done more ex-
tensive work along the lines of
real constructive statesman
ship than accomplished at
any session of Congress with
which the President is ia
miliar. He says that men of
genuine patriotism have a
right to feel a profound salts
faction in the entire course
of this Congress" In another
story on the same day, The

of the House last night con-
corning the work accomplished

Cooperation Pays OFF

The President has made three ex-
cellent nominations to, the Districts
newly created Family Court. Those Sc
lected are Municipal Court Judge Frank
H. Myers and two lawyers Godfrey L.
Munter and John H. Burnett
1t is not necessary to dwell upon the
qualifications of these men, Their ca
reerS at the bar and on the bench in
this community speak for themselves.
We have every confidence that they will
serve with distinction on this new and
important branch of the Municipal Court,
and that in doing so they will make a
very substantial contribution to the relief
Of the overloaded civil docket of the
District Court.
There is another side to this story,
however, which ought to be told NeceS-
sarily the President relies on recommen-
dationS from Attorney General Brownell
and the latter's deputy, William p Rogers,
in making nominations of this kind Mr..
Brownell and Mr.. Rogers, in their turn,
have shown an admirable willingness to
consider recommendations from the Dis
trict Bar Association. In this instance
the three nominees came from slate of
nine names submitted by the bars COM
mittee on judicial selections And the
committee, in picking the nine, made a
careful study of the qualifications of all
candidates.
Mr.. Brownell and Mr. Rogers are not
obligated, of course, to accept the COM
mittee's recommendations. But they have
been willing to consider them and, if
someone else is to be proposed for NOM
nation, they have given the committee
a chance to study his qualifications In
our judgment, this procedure has resulted
in the selection of judges for the courts
OF the District in whom both the COM
munity and the administration can take
real pride. And we think that continued
adherence to this procedure will produce
equally good results in the future.

Our Chief Security

Robert Hal SilverS, director of civil
defense for Prince Georges County, has
had some pretty harsh and rather per-
suaSive things to say about the Districts
evacuation plan. But the net effect of his
criticism is to strengthen the feeling that
cities like ours, when it comes to pre-
pairing against the potentialS of modern
war, can do little more than hope for the
best and grope for palliativeS. The criti-
ciSm has the effect, too, of supporting the
fataliStic view that no plan would be any
good in the event of a sudden, about
assault with nuclear and thermonuclear
weapons.
Thus, without offering a clear al
tentative of his own, Mr. Silvers has
attacked the Districts plan as unreal
iStic," ridiculous" and suicidal" for
three reasons. First, Washingtonians
fleeing to Prince Georges County would
run into road bottleneckS causing
monStrouS and fatal traffic jam. Second,
there would be catastrophe confusion
because no adequate reception areas
exist now and apparently will not exist
for some time" And third, quite OBJ
viously, the idea of evacuation becomes
pitifully absurd when one thinks of how
Swiftly-within matter of minutes after
firing time-death and devastation could
be rained on our city by submarine
launched guided missiles equipped with
atomic or hydrogen-bomb warheadS.
Mr.. Silvers might also have men
toned the prospective and unimaginably
deadly intercontinental balliStic missile.
Certainly, should there be surprise, no
quarter war with such weapons, there
would be no forewarning for Washington
or any other city, and preplanned evacu-
alton programs would be utterly useless.
But Colonel John E. Fondahl, director of
the Districts civil defense, has made a
sound point in declaring that the interim
plan now in force is nonetheeSs we'll
designed to save as many lives as possible
in case of bombing attacks by planes
whose approach could be detected some
hours away from the target. OF course,
even assuming adequate advance notice
and prior action to eliminate things like
outlying traffic bottlenecks, no evacuating
operation could be perfect, but it could do
much to hold down the death toll.
Accordingly, viewed in that light, as
a potential palliating project capable of
saving many lives under certain attack
conditions, the Districts plan-whose
main weaknesses can be corrected-is
clearly better than none at all. AS for the
plans relationship to unexpected nuclear
and thermonucear war in its swiftest
and worst form, that is something else
again. Given such war, it is difficult to
see how any kind of civil defense could
be other than futile. Actually, in the last
analysis, our chief security must rest in
the continued maintenance of massive
deterrent power and ceaseleSS effort to
establish peace that will permanently
insure the world against an atomic
cataclysm.

when Jesus was here
among men" is a haunting
phrase from a hymn of child
hood. An honest look at the
matchless figure of Mans Best
Man, as etched in the New
Testament by those who were
his close companions, compels
the conclusion that always his
chief concern was the welfare
of individuals-not as masses,
but as cases. Said a Twentieth
Century prophet, as he stood
under soaring arches gripped
by the spell of pictured glass
in an ornate cathedral church:
"All this thrills met appeals
to my aesthetic senses-but
surrounded by all this gothic
glory I cannot help wonder
ing what the One whose name
it bears would think of it all
with awful human need so
near its doors-for His one
interest was what happens to
people"
If, on some Sunday, under
the pointing spires one should
enter a sanctuary dedicated TO
the Master of Men, those
gathered in His name might be
heard singing the familiar
hymn, Jesus, Lover of my
Soul" One who shared that
experience but who had been
deeply impressed with Christ's
unmistakable emphasis on the
welfare of human bodies ex-
claimed: Il want someone to
write me another hymn, Jesus,
Lover of My Body" In all
ChriSt's deep concern for
physical well being and in His
Indignation for all who would
demean and deflle the body,
the Master ran counter to the
old pagan attitude that the
flesh is vile and to be despised.
Paul was but re-echoing the
Man of Nazareth when he
wrote, Know We not, that
your body is the temple of the
Holy Spirit which dwelleth in
you?" And of his Master he
said, He is the Saviour of
the body" Always with
Christ'S eye not on the bestial
but upon the beautiful he was
healing and exalting the won
drous tabernacle in which the
spirit lives.
1t is the healing of his
seamless dress" which touches
today with new life those who
in hospital and clinic, through
medical research and in the
Sklllful ministry of ministers,
doctors ana surgeons, find the
restoration which yearningly
they seek.
If that One whose birth has

we venture to suggest that
with appreciation he would
hold in his hand a three-cent

hold up a coin one day under
the blue sky of Palestine and
ask His hearers what was the
meaning of the government in

one in the crowd said "It's

The laws that changed all
that are a superb example of
liberty in law" Spasmodic
attempts to regulate food and
drugs were brought, at last,
into a unity Of Federal inspec-
ton. But because of the
pioneer work of the man whose
likeness adorns the new stamp,
and because of those who fol-
lowed IN his trail in all the
development of the expanding
life of the Nation, the move
ment started a half century
ago must keep abreast of the
changing needs of this COM
plicated day of new wonder
drugs and the packaged foods
of the mammoth stores. Thus,
160 million Americans are pro-
tected as they sit at their
dining tables and as they pur-
chase drugs which are often a
matter of life or death. This
expanding administration of
such laws which have followed

covering cosmetics. have had
the loyal support of the pro-
ducerS of the goods involved.
