Dear Mr.. Moscovitz:
It was suggested to us by a
number of our Jewish friends of
the South that Jews would be
very reluctant to publicly oppose
the recently organized White Citi-
zen's Councils. It is a pleasure,
therefore, to see how fortnight
and outspoken you are on the
subject in your January 18th edi-
torial, as you express the tradi-
tional Jewish indignation against
intolerance and hate.
If the Jew has won a gratifying
degree of security in this country,
as he has, he should yield to NO
one in his eagerness to fight now
for the security of other minority
groups.
With best wishes,
Sincerely yours,

BY DAVID SCHWARTZ

The scholarly Nahum Sokolow,
who was at home in a half dozen
languages, once told this writer
how he had learned English. He
used a Bible as a textbook.
Taking an English Bible, hes fol-
lowed it easily, knowing the orig
inal. This saved him the trouble
of looking up the words in the
dictionary. Anyone who has ever
tried to learn a new language
must know how much time is
consumed in locating one or an
other word.
A beginner in Hebrew might
start by learning the Hebrew in
English names. The Puritans
liked to name their children after
the Old Testament patriarchs and
prophets. Thus, we find the old
American names were mostly He
braic: Daniel Webster, Noah
Webster, Benjamin Franklin, Cot
ton Mather. Later they switched
to naming them after politicians
and statesmen, but much of the
old stock still survives and all
these Hebrew names are combin-
ations of Hebrew words. The
''Dan" of Daniel means judge, the
Ben of Benjamin means son,
Noah means repose, Cotton means
small or junior. Cotton Mather
was the son of Increase Mather.)
Increase Mather is the Angliciza-
ton of the Hebrew Joseph. Incl
dentally, Cotton Mather knew
Hebrew and he is on record as
deploring the time his country
men spent inf smoking tobacco,
when at the same time, he said,
they could be learning Hebrew.

DR.. Yigal Yadin, noted archaeo-
logist and former Chief of Staff
of the Israel Army, revealed that
the Hebrew inscriptions of the
period of the Kings are the first
of their kind ever uncovered in
Northern Israel and are of con-
siderable archaeological value.
Among the vessels uncovered
in the diggings was a fragment of

say that Professor Toynbee had
his share in promoting the tragic
misfortune he laments (misunder-
standings between Arab and Jew)
as well as another - the Zionist
quarrel with Britain. One realizes

The Meaning of Jewish
History
The Professor and the Fossil is
considerably more than a "reply"
to A Study of History. or a cor
rection of the record, or an elo-
quent defense of the Jewish peo-
pie. In taking issue with Profes-
sor Toynbee's judgment that the
Jewish people has been fossil
for two millennia, Mr.. Samuel re-
counts the achievements and con-
tributions to human history of
this allegedly lifeless folk, not the
least of which was the creation of
a language and a body of litera-
ture. His style-familiar to mil
lions of Americans who have read
his previous, books, attended his
lectures, or heard him on the
NBC radio network program,
"Words We Live By"-is brilliant,
witty and deeply stirring. This
book revives a type of contro-
versy which has been absent from
present-day critical writing too
long, a fact noted recently by
Harvey Brett of The New York
Times Book Review. in a COM
ment about The Professor and the
Fossil.
Mr.. Samuel, author of 19 books
and translator of Is others, is the
winner of the Annisfeld Award,
given in 1914 by The Saturday
Review of Literature, for his book
