start new. He took them on a
vacation to the wilderness. It
would be plenty rough there.
Some would grumble. Let us
make no mistake about it. A
vacation is a very pleasant
thing, but the routine of ordi-
nary work can also enslave-
like Egypt. The routine of
work can be a drug and many
find it difficult to get along
without it.

Israelites missed the brick

kept their minds occupied.
They had to learn anew how
to occupy their minds in the
wilderness. Mamma was good,
but they missed the leeks and
hamburgers that they had
eaten in Egypt. They had to
learn to appreciate the mamma.
They had to change their ideas
of worship. In Egypt, they had
worshipped cats and a menag-
erie of other animals. In the
wilderness they had to diScov-

of the great difficulties the
white people had with the In
dians was they didn't want to
change from the vacation goal
to the work goal. Life to the

Indian never looked to the
morrow, never accumulated.
When he got hungry, he went
out and killed a buffalo. He
spent his time making like a

In Hebrew, Mr.. Brown Now
Becomes One Mr.. Baron!
BY JONATHAN SHILOH

JERUSALEM, (JTA) - A quiet revolution,
which never makes headlines and which probably
never WILL is running it's course in Israel It is the
changing of "Daspora" family names-the Finkel-
stems, Smiths and Dostrovskys- Hebrew names.
The latter are generally sought among the wealth of
names found in the Bible or are coined afresh from
the living language.
The move received new impetus recently when
the Minister of Interior Israel Bar Yehuda introduc-
ed bill in the Knesset making obligatory the adop-
ton of family" names.
THE FUTURE law aimed at simplifying the
keeping of vital statistics will affect many Jews rails
ed in primitive Arab countries Iran. Many of them
not only do not have family names-they do not see
the need for them If this is not bad enough we have
the custom of certain Kurdish tribes in Iran. A
grandson takes his grandfather's first name as his
surname The grandsons wife, however, does not
take her husbands surname (really the grandfath-
er's first name) but her fathers first as her
married name UNDERSTANDABLE, this is confusing to
everyone who does not hail from the remote part of
the world.
But this is sidelight on the entire problem. For
it is the Jews coming from the western world, al
though not affected by the future law, who con-
Quoting the revolution by Hebraizing their surnames.
(Most Oriental families have fine Biblical names
family names-if they have them at all)
Soon after the establishment of the State it was
almost mandatory for civil servants to HebraZe their
names To aid them in doing this, well to draw
up guide, the Hebrew Language Committee (prede-
cessor of the Hebrew Language Academy drew up
set of rules plus list of 1000 new Hebrew family
THE RULES are simplicity in themselves. For
instance, name may be Hebraized by changing the
vowels or only one consonant: Braver becomes
Barur, Brown becomes Baron, Arber becomes
Arbe; and Kovatch becomes Kovea.
And why not simply shorten a name? Joaco-
bowitch becomes Jacob which is only one step from
the Hebrew pronunciation of Yaacov; Ginter be-
comes Gnat Again, it is easy to translate many for
eign names into Hebrew. Why Bear and not Dow,
Wolf and not Ze'ev?
One of the most popular ways is to adopt faith
ers first name your family This requires the
addition of the prefix ben (son). President Ben-Zvi

that his strong belief in social

Soon, he said, Amter asked
him to join the party and take
the post of managing editor Of
the Daily Worker.

One Of the arguments Amter
used, according to Mr.. Chaser.
was that once he was a member
of the party he could help 1t in
its work of building socialism

he began paying 10 per cent of

La Rosa to Marry
Como Secretary

NEW YORK, Jan. 4 fP.-
Singer Julius La Rosa, 26, who
bounced into the headlines when
he was fired from Arthur God
frey's television show. became en-
gagged on New Years eve to the
secretary of singer Perry Como.
News OF his engagement to "a
.year-old Rory Meyer did not be-
come public until today.
No date has been set for the
wedding.
Miss Meyer, the daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. Clarence Meyer OF
IManitowoc, Wis. came to New
York four years ago to study
psychology and liberal arts
at Columbia University. She
dropped her studies for secre-
tarial jobs, becoming secretary to
Mr.. Como two years ago.
She won a local publicity con-
test a year ago as the girl most
similar in appearance to film star
Ava Gardner. She and Mr.. La
Rosa met through a mutual
friend last February.

adjourned the session until to-
morrow.
On the House side. the DEM
onstration was more restrained.
House members, perhaps because
there are more Of them. take
each other a little more for
granted. Besides. they seemed
to be laboring under a rather
neurotic delusion that nobody
knew they were there.
Scarcely had they taken their
seats-and they kept them bet
ter than the Senators - when
they began passing resolutions
to let people know they we're
in session. Tney appointed one
committee to break the news to
the President. another to in
form the Senate.
Business as Usual
They began at once consid-
Grafton of routine business.
Among the items taken UP
was a letter from the Library
of Congress informing them that
copyright had been given to a
song written by Composer Irving
Caesar, entitled pledge of Allie
glance" This song. which is
owned by Congress. incorporates
additional text written into the
pledge by Representative Rabaut.
Democrat of Michigan.
That done, they took up the
melancholy task of eulogizing
members who had died during
the recess: Representative Ding
ell, Democrat of Michigan. and
Buchanan, Democrat of Pennsyl-
vania. Representative Dingell's
son has been elected to his
fathers seat. He responded to
the tributes feelingly and wiped
his eyes as he returned to his
place.
Finally, the select committee
consisting of Representative Nc
Cormick, Democrat of Massa-
'chusetts; Representative Martin.
Republican of Massachusetts,,
"a nd Representative Richards.
Democrat of South Carolina, re-
turned. They told the members
that they had reported to the
President and that he in turn
had told them that he would
send to them the state-of-the-
Union message tomorrow, which
was not exactly news to anyone.

there was also q tremendous
demonstration Of mutual elbow
clasping, shoulder-gripping and
back-slapping. Jollity was sus-
pended briefly during the chap
lain's opening prayer. The call
ing Of the roll was a signal for
renewed animation. Majority
Leader johnson had to call for
order as the volume of greeting
threatened to drown out his col
leagues responses.
Knowland Spotted
On opening day, the dividing
line between Democrats and Re-
publicans dissolves. The Senators
are not. for the moment liberals
or conservatives but only fellow
. club-members. Presidential as
pirant Senator Knowland, Re-
publican of California. looking
uncharacteris tically light
hearted, was seen among Demo-
Gratis. smiling at them as If they
had promised him their votes.
Senator Gore, Democrat Of
Tennessee, and Senator Jenner,
Republican OF Indiana, who
stand apart on most issues stood
together for a long time in
Iamiable converse. Senator Hum
phrey, Democrat Of Minnesota,
who never does when he votes,
went over to the Republican side
to form a jovial group with Re-
publican Senators Mundt OF
South Dakota and Welker Of
Idaho.
From the gallery 1t was i'm
possible to tell what these lively
Exchanges were about. Occas-
sionally, the glad cry of Happy
New Year" fioated up; but from
the gestures, often of hands ex-
tended a certain distance apart,
they might have been describing
the fish they had caught dur
ing the recess.
Senator Mccarthy, Republican
of Wisconsin. somewhat leaner
and browner than at the
CLOSING session, gave a hand
each TO two old friends, Sena-
tor Welker and Senator Butler,
Republican Of Maryland. Sena-
tor Butler turned away only
to greet warmly, as he seldom
does in debate, Senator Ander-
son. Democrat of New Mexico.
Senators Wiley. Republican
OF Wisconsin and Aiken, Repub-
lican Of Vermont, stood at the
door with arms across each 9TH
ers' shoulders surveying the
happy scene.
Only Senator Millikin. Repub-
lican of Colorado, who looked
feeble and tired. did not join in
the rambling joviality that was
the order of the day. Escorted

! ceived greetings where he was.
