PARISH STREET SATURDAY
NIGHT: Every now and then whel.
we gather over our fish and bee.
on the upper end of the stroll, one
of the brothers lets loose with
something that either makes ali
the brothers feel mighty good O..
mighty bad. In this particular
case, and on the discussion of
Aunt Haggar's Chilluns, the broth
er made us feel mighty good. The
good brother took a good swallow
of beer, reared way back, and said,
that he remembered the time when
the one thing that hurt a whole lot
of Aunt Haggar's Chillun was the
part that the were very jealous of
the success of any of the brothers
and sisters that they knew that
happen to show any signs of get
ting along pretty good. He said
that he remembered the time when
everybody was watching everybody
else, and when everybody seems to
be getting ahead of anybody else
that was the signal for almost
everybody else to start getting
jealous of that particular brother
and figuring out some kind of a
way to keep him from getting any
farther ahead of anybody else
whether everybody else was doing
anything or not. And he said that
during the time of which he was
speaking, instead of trying to dc
something to get ahead in the
world themselves, that most OF
Aunt Haggar's Chillun was con-
tent to just git mad at any of the
brothers that were showing some
signs of progress. But he said
that Aunt Haggar's Chilluns have
done come to the conclusion that
it don't do no good to git mad at
them, that the smarter things to do
is to git like them, and he said
that most of Aunt Haggar's Chill
luns is Citing like them too.

our faith.
Not that he was regular sYna-
gogue-goer: in fact. saw him but
once in our synagogue of which
he was member. That was on a
high anniversary occasion OF the
temple. He had been invited as
special guest because. when he
was a boy. he had attended the
temples dedication. in the year
1865. He had marched through
the streets with the men who
were carrying the several Scrolls
of the Law to set them up in the
new Ark on that altar.
On the. anniversary occasion
they had DR.. Zenner, age 1O2
then, up on the altar with the
rabbis. Oh, no, he was not often
in the temple; I speak of him as
a noble Jew because of the holy
life he lived. He had been a
neurologist, but this serving was
far beyond the medical function
and duties at sick-beds.
He cared so much about the
whole sick world. worried about
ways to make il better. took
lightly the praises he got for the
GOOD he did. He was embarrassed
by the praiseful publicity that
came to him the time he endowed

Some days they had to go to
school without lunch money, or
they might need shoes their par
ents couldn't afford, or dress in
place of the rags; or it would be
all right with DR.. Zenner If his
money were spent by some boy
for a stick or two of candy; that
might help to make up a little for
the bitterness in the kids life.
DR.. Zenner found his reward in

told him of the JOY of this child
and that this one was walk

this one was SO gay in her

brought TO DR.. Zenner the same
kind of spiritual reward that
other old gentlemen derived from
reading Torah.
Then there was that time of
the depression: He felt worried on
account of prisoners released
from our State penitentiary to
make new lives for themselves in
that hungry time. Where were
they to find jobs then, how to
eat, how to put off new tempta-
tions on days when they were
hungry?
So. DR.. Zenner sent to the peni-
tentiarY's warden $500 TO be a
revolving fund to be loaned to
prisoners when they were ready
to go free. TO be paid back by
them to the warden: that way the
dollars would start rolling all
over again to be loaned out TO
other prisoners :. and so on and
so on. The $500 would keep re-
volving that way for good.
But no prisoner ever paid
back not dollars worth. In
a year that $500 was all gone,
never to return. DR.. ZeAner sigh
ed meekly: "Well, you see, any
way, the money did help those
who received it, even though they
never did bring it back. That's
something"
That was DR.. Zenner for you .

Jewish. Almost to the end his
mind remained good. It troubled
itself about the way the world
was going. He wrote to men Of

righteous government in the city.

Election Moods

Agency, Inc.)

Adlai Stevenson, when he was
Democratic candidate for Presi-
dent in 1852, told a cheering Jew
ish crowd in Boston that Jews
make the best Democrats
Exactly 40 years early President
Taft assured a Jewish audience
that "Jews make the best Repub-
licans" The conversion of
many Jews from good Republi-
cans to good Democrats did not
occur overnight :. 1t was Wood
row Wilson who became the first
Democratic Presidential candi-
date to break the Republican hold
over the Jews in half a century
The shift grew unusually
large in 1882 and 1896 when Jews
-paralleling the nation as a
whole-voted heavily for Frank
lin D. Roosevelt. 1t reached the
highest point in 1910 and 1914,
when go out of every 100 Jews in
the United States, according to
the American Institute of Public
Opinion, voted for Roosevelt i.
Jewish Democratic strength dim
inished slightly in 1948 Actu-
ally the combined Truman-Bark-
ley vote was almost as high in
Jewish districts as the vote for
F. D. R. had been four years be-
fore Jews voted heavily for
Democrats not only in New York,
Chicago, and Boston, but practi-
cally all over the country i.
However, there was a slight de-
fection in the 1852 Presidential
elections, when a portion of every
element of traditional Democratic
strength switched to Eisenhower
Why did about rs percent of
American Jewry remain Demo-
cratic in 1852? A variety of
studies offer no clue to explain
the continued Democratic streng-
tn of Jews in the face of the
Eisenhower landslide How
ever, it was established that Jews
in the suburbs were primarily re-
sponsible for the Jewish defec-
tions which took place in 1852 =.
In the present elections, Jews will
probably continue to vote for the
Democratic candidate because the
Eisenhower Administration has
shown itself much less friendly to
Israel than the Truman Admins
tration This does not reflect
on Eisenhower, whom many Jews
consider liberal-minded :. How
ever, it does reflect on the State
Department whose Middle East
policy has been strongly criticized
ever since Secretary of State Dull

our ancestral heritage. BY mill
tary transport, the Rabbits are
flown to installations all over the
world where Jewish serVicemen
are stationed. Earlier this year
two Rabbis conducted such con-
vocations in England, France,
Germany and North Africa. They
visited about twenty installations,
and with GIs who were brought
from many more locations, they
spent hours deepening their au-
diences' appreciation of the Book
of Books. During the coming sum-
mer, a similar series will be held
in those Pacific and Far Eastern
bases which had no visiting Rabbi
this year. :,
Needless to say. the regularly
assigned Jewish Chaplains pro!
vided by the military establish
ment deliver weekly messages to
their charges. Yet the chaplains
themselves find il stimulating to
have periodic contact with civil
liam colleagues. Chaplains in the
field are usually far removed
from Jewish libraries and semi
naries. They crave some word re-
garding the latest developments
in Jewish thought and scholar
ship. While the GIs are deeply
appreciative of heir chaplains'
continuous availability. they find
it refreshing TO meet another
spiritual leader and thus acquire
added insight into the nature OF
religious living.
OF interest, also, is how the
program came into being. It was
suggested in Washington that
preaching missions be conducted
by Catholic priests and Protestant
ministers for their respective CO.
religionists. But the military es-
tablishment wanted to do for
Jews, too, what it was prepared to
do for Christians. Yet we Jews
do not normally conduct missions

American Jews continue to Gre
ate new institutions to which they
give names that ultimately be-
come part Of our daily vocabu-
larry. One has but to think of such
terms as Center" Federation, "
and "Chest," to realize how the
progressive development of the
Jewish community has evoked
creativity in the matter of titles.
However, a new title and new
institution-the "Torah Convoca-

they have heretofore received.
The American military estab-
lishment is the generous sponsor
of this institution and the Com.

lains il recruits. endorses and
guides-coordinates the program.
The military establishment in
vites civilian Rabbis periodically
to visit Air Force bases, Army
camps, and Navy stations to con-
duct special Torah sessions for the
benefit of Jewish soldiers, sailors,
and airmen, and for the members
of their families. AT these ses-
sions, with series of Torah talks,
the Rabbis attempt to induce a
greater love of, and dedication to-,

religion in recent centuries. In
fact, even preaching is not an
integral part of our ritual. On the
other hand, study of Torah is
basic in our service. From a Jew
ish point of view, study is at least
as important as prayer. 1t was
decided, therefore, that for Jewish
personnel there would be Torah
Convoca lions. Consequent
ly, every military commander is
now expected to m k e annual
provision for such Torah instruc-
ton if the number of Jewish GIs
and the exigencies of the service
permit.
The Commission on Jewish
ChaplaincY of the National Jew
ish Welfare Board plays a very
helpful role in this matter as in
so many others pertaining to The
religious welfare of our GIs. It
recommends civilian Rabbits TO the
military establishment for Torah
Convocations even as it gives
ecclesiastical endorsement to the
chaplains before they are commits
stoned. In addition. the CJC pro-
vides the necessary publicity
materials and biographical data
on the convocation leader to the
units sponsoring the convocations.
Frequently il suggests topics for
discussion and furnishes teaching
aids. In general. il coordinates
these efforts and insures their
smooth operation.
The military establishment, in
turn, plays host to the visiting
Rabbi and usually assigns chap
lain to escort the visitor on his
travels. But the cooperation Of
the military does not end there.
It helps soldiers and airmen who
want to attend the sessions to be
relieved of duty for two or three
days. One soldier overseas came
to one of the conversations with a
list of questions. that took this
writer four hours to answer. His
unit had no chaplain and he wait
ed for the convocation to con-
front a Rabbi with all the prob
lens raised in his mind by his
extensive Jewish study while in
service. Another soldier, in
France, was spending his leisure
time becoming acquainted with
existentialism. He, too, came to
the convocation to inquire about
the relationship between Judaism
and this new fad in philosophy.
Intellectuals are not the only
GIs who seek out the visiting
Rabbi. The Jewish chaplains
themselves are frequently called
upon to solve problems so
weightY that they want the assist
ance of an older and more ex-
perienced colleague. The visiting
Rabbi spends many hours in such
consultations. Sometimes the prob
