rael conflict have broken down At the time it is
obvious to them that the United States has embarked on
Middle East policy which involves the of the
Soviet Union in any future settlement This from
the fact that Secretary Dulles insists that the Arabsrae
question should be kept in the United Nations and be
handled by the Western Bg Three The general opinion
IN Washington now is that Mr. Dulles longer trying
exclude Moscow from share in the Middle settlement
Otherwise he would comply with the British French
views selling defensive for Israel balance the
offensive which Moscow sends the Arab countries
He would also not be persistent leaving the Arab
Israel issue to the United Nations knowing well that the
Sovets are the masters of the situation there by being able
to inject their veto any time they wish Mr. Dulles is a
pareny specializing the possibility that Moscow may be
willing to take part constructvely in attempting stabilize
the Middle East although this does not be the opinion
Of the British Government It remains to be whether
Mr. Dulles efforts to get the Soviet to help keep peace in the
Middle East will pay off The test will this week

top Soviet eaders-vst England The British Government

Secretary of State Dulles is now operating
closer to Moscow than to Britain and France
on the Arab-Israel issue . This may sound

Middle East However, this opinion pre-

QUESTION: Why il il custom.
airy to use a silver pointer whose
end is shaped like a hand when
reading the Torah in the syna-
gogue?
ANSWER: The Jewish tradition
requires that the reader actually
read from the very words of the
Torah looking at each word as he
reads it. Thus, it is prohibited to
read from memory, for example.
The eyes have tendency to wan
der over the text and it was fear
ed that the reader might not look
at each word as he read it. Thus,
special pointer was used to keep
his attention on every word as he
read from the scroll. This pointer
is used in the place of ones own
hand so that sign of respect be
shown to the Torah by not touch
ing it with ones hand directly, as
one would touch other objects.
This was possibly the reason for
making athe end of the pointer
resemble the human hand, with a
finger pointed outward.

QUESTION: Is il permissible to
have private MinYan in a home
instead of going TO the synagogue?
ANSWER: There was a time
when having a private Minyan in
a home was forbidden by Rab-
binic decree. Such a decree is
mentioned in the name of Rabbi
Solomon ben Aderet (the Rashba).
DEGREES, such as this, were issued
to protect the Importance and
centrality of the synagogue in
Jewish life. In modern times,
however, such DEGREES do not
seem to have come forth, since
the synagogue enjoys position of
great prestige. It is considered
that wherever a Minyan of Jews
gather for prayer an element of
holiness is brought about. This is,
of course, provided that the
proper sanctity is given to the
place of gathering and the proper
respect is given to the tradition of
Jewish prayer. Some of the mod
ern traditional authorities have
become so dissatisfied with the
customs and behavior of modern
synagogues, in some cases, that
they have ordered worshippers to
stay at home rather than to wor-
ship in what they call mon
conforming synagogue"
= = y
QUESTION: Why is il forbid
den to converse in the midst Of
certain sections Of the prayers?
ANSWER: Certain sections Of
the body of Jewish prayers are
considered indivisible units. Inter-
rupting with conversation in the
middle of these units. breaks the
continuity of the unit and pre-
vents the individual from achiev-
ing the result of having exercised
a complete unit of prayer which
is aimed at a unification of the
purpose for that particular prayer
unit. So strong was this emphasis
that many synagogues had signs
put up stressing the prohibition
against conversing in the midst OF
the services. Others had a special
blessing added for those who OBJ
served this rule.

Then he announced that he had

He stayed with the Celts for

Pittsburgher scored 9.3 points per
game for 90 appearances.
When Cooper's average slipped
TO 3.3 points per game in 1953-54.

they had better look around for a
trade. They found one and Cooper
went to the Milwaukee Hawks

Early this season, the Hawks

while we cannot determine just
how many traffic accidents on
our streets and highways can be
traced to disregard for traffic
signs and signals" he said, I'VE
do know and can prove that there
is a close tie-in between traffic
violations and traffic accidents" s."
Mr. LeKites said that some of
the more common violations ac-
counting for traffic accidents are
exceeding the posted speed limit,
improper passing, failure to keep
to the right of the center line,
failure to yield the right of way,
and disregard of stop and warm
ing signs.
Traffic signs and signals repre-
sent the expert planning of we'll
skilled and experienced persons in
safety know-how, he said. They
are designed to protect human
life on our streets and highways,
but unless they are needed faith
fully they will prove of little avail
in preventing accidents to motor
