Milestone In Freedom

February II always will stand as a milestone in
the continuing drive for the respect and dignity of
minorties
For this is the birth-date for the man who gave
great impetus to the fight for the freedom of man

race, religion creed.

coin is more obvious than ever

may become the elimination of President Lincoln's
fight
C.. and dedicated to the proposition that all
men are created equal"
So spoke the Great Emancipator at Gettysburg.
A war was fought and won-or perhaps lost as all
wars must be-to prove that his proposition was
right
Today almost century later we are seeing the
fruits of the fight for equality. Our highest court
has ordered the end of segregation in Schools in bus
and train travel
In our own city of Tucson Mayor Don Hummel
has decried the open facts that there is still discr

commodation.
In Phoenix Gov Mcfarland has spoken of the
need for bill to end discrimination in places of pub
lie accommodation Senators Harry Ackerman of
Pima and Harold Gss of Yuma carrying the fight
for such a bill in our state legislature.
The march for freedom which Abraham Lin
coin gave such great forward progress is moving
again.

The soldier didn't look Jewish. But as the trip

Harry told the lad that he himself was mem

lated how proud he became when he thought back
to such world-famous leaders as Moses, Maimondes,
the Macabees and continued to name DOCTORS law
yers scientists and philosophers down through the
ages.
When they neared the end of the trip the young

EDUCATIONAL TRENDS: Exclusive of schools
on college level New York Jewry spent SIG, 100000
last year on Jewish education. This does not include
the sum of approximately $1,2OO,0OO which Jewish
all-day-schools and yeshivas in New York received
in Federal and state government funds through the
Jewish Education Association.
THESE FUNDS are used to supply some 12O
all-day schools with lunch milk and transportation
to and from school. Plans are being mapped by the
JEA to have all Jewish afternoon schools number
ing about 4OO-benefit from the special milk pro-
gram established by New York State Altogether
there are now 679 Jewish schools in Greater New
York.
THEIR CURRENT enrolment is $4,000 chill

THE COLONEL, in Tucson on a nationwide
speaking tour in behalf of the United Jewish Appeal
was adamant in his belief that the Israeli Army is
not an army of aggression, but an army called into
action only when needed to save the peace.
But when move into action" the colonel ex-
planned 1--WE have soldiers far better than profess
sonal soldiers. Israeli citizen-solders have fiery
spirit When they have job to do, they are anxious
to go into combat and get the job done. There is no
shirking away from duty.
I'm the recent Sinai action one of our brigades
pinned down by small arms fire behind mine
field and barbed wire. The demolition charge to de-
stroy the barbed wire failed to function. Suddenly
one OF our soldiers stood up and his own rushed
forward and threw himself on the barbed wire
"He formed a bridge across the barbed wire
with his own body and our soldiers ran across his
body and continued the attack.
'That is the spirit of the Israeli army"
~ ~ ~
IN THE United States army and other armies
of the world is customary for officers to direct the
attack from the rear. But in the recent Sinai en-
gagement noted an extremely heavy toll of officers
in the Israeli army.
I asked Col Carmon why this had happened.
ut it our belief that an officer should lead his
men," the colonel said with trace of bravado.
Therefore our officers move ahead of the troops
troops gives him better command and because there
is delay in communication to the rear the action
can be over much sooner
"Thus save lives. And to us the lives of
our soldiers very dear"
That most certainly must be true because just
recently Israel exchanged 5000 Egyptian soldiers
for Israeli soldiers.
~ ~
ASKED Col Carmon, too, what Israelis felt
when they branded the aggressors in the recent
Sinai action.
"Of course we all felt miserable about that"
Col. Carmon admitted "But we knew that we were
forced into doing what did. And what we found
in the Sinai desert convinced that we were right
We could not wait for the Arabs to destroy U.S.
"And when found such vast stores of mill
tary equipment in the Sinai, and when we found by
the thousands Adolph FIitler'S book 'Mein Kampf'
translated into Arabic, we knew we had done what
was best for all of u.s.

But on his lapel there was an emblem pictur-

1--WE are an army of citizens" It. Col David
Carmon of the Israel defense army was saying "Most
all of our soldiers are what we call soIdiers-on-11
