20-Cent Basic Fare

In actual practice. experts
figure that by 1880 the Poto-
mac rail transit bridge would
divert from autos to trains
enough passengers to free -four
bridge lanes that otherwise
would be needed for rush-hour
traffic.
The rail transit passengers
would pay a basic fare of 20
cents for rides in a central
zone having a radius of four
miles from the White House,
AS they cross this boundary
leaving town they would pay S
cents extra for each Of a Sc
ries of zones two miles wide,
arranged in concentric rings
around the central zone. For
inbound trips the initial fare
also would be 20 cents, with
five cents for each new zone
line crossed.
The fare for an average trip
in 1880 would be % cents, &C.
cording to studies by the survey

Of all the 1880 train trips,
these conSultantS found, more
than so per cent would have
origins or destinations in the
downtown area.

converge at a central under

would be two continuous op-

Anticipate Changes

Mr.. Norton and Mr.. Robinson
said they particularly chal-
lenged some of the assumptions
that travel patterns would not
change substantially as the
area grows. They said they feel
there might be changes, as
for example, more people be-
gin to live closer to their en-
ployment places. Speaking Of
the travel projections, the dis
sent added:
THE results of the computa-
tons are startling. To satisfy
the assumed cumulative travel
desires out of a so per cent
increase in regional population,
the report states that the ca
pacity of the transportation
network neds to be approxi-
mately tripled The report
nowhere demonstrates, how
ever, that this amount Of trans.
portation is really necessary"

Rail System in Doubt

Specifically, they said they
did not think "the case has
been made" for the $500 million
rail transit system, and that
they felt there is a real posi-.
bility that the express buses on
freeways and improved arterialS
could do the mass transit Job
after 1870 as we'll as before
1870"
They said the entire case was
based on some admittedly no.
vel" techniques for estimating
future travel patterns. They
said the teohniques were i'm
preSsive, but answers given by
the Univac are only as valid as
the assumptions fed into its
electronic BRAIN"

You can't prove anything by circum-

The Council Is Wrong Again
EMBARRASSING ACTION: The office

EMBARRASSING ACTION: The office
of the Jewish Agency is not obJectlng to
any of the Rumanian Jews proceeding to
anv other country outside Israel On the
contrary, found that the Jewish Agency
does all it can to help Rumanian Jews who
express the wish to proceed to countries
other than Israel. Official figures show
that, among $3.50 Jews who arrived In
Vienna from Rumania during December
and January there were sixty persons VINO
were able to secure visas to Brazil, Argen-
tina, Belgium and about 10 other countries.
All of them were encouraged by the
Jewish Agency office in Vienna, which
cooperates fully with the offices of the
Joint Distribution Committee and the
United Has Service there. The American
Council for Judaism, apparently trying to
justify it's Embarrassing drive in the United
States, sent $4,000 to Vienna to help
stranded" Rumanian Jews. However, the
money was sent not to any of the Amerl
can Jewish organizations functioning in
Vienna.
The $4,000 were sent to a nOn-JeWiSh
agency in Austria which feels itself very
embarrassed, apparently because there
aren't enough Rumanian Jewish emf
grants in Vienna requiring such sum.
Furthermore, the non-JeWish agency is
not exactly happy about being utilized as
a tool by the Council for Judaism. 1t is
not in a position to refuse acceptance OF
the Councils money, but it sees no reason
why the Council for Judaism cannot chan
mel it's contribution through the J.D.C or
Has which represents American Jewish
relief effort in Vienna.

not sixty as the Council for Judaism as

specific, five of them remained in Vienna
in December, and one in January.
And all of them remained due to the
intervention of the Jewish Agency office
in Vienna Without such intervention
with the Austrian authorities no Jewish

people insist upon reciting the
Kiddush from the prayer
book even if they know it by
heart? (H. G., Brooklyn, New
York;
ANSWER: The Kabbalists
have attached a certain sig
nificance of holiness to the
letters of the Hebrew alpha
bet. Reading from the prayer
book brings the Jew in con-
tact with the letters them
selves and thus brings about
a higher degree of holiness.
1t has long been the position
of the Kabbalists that every
Jew is represented by a letter
of the Hebrew alphabet. Look
ing at these letters while
chanting the Kiddush brings
about not only the sanctity
of the words, but also that of
the letters themselves.
QUESTION: Why do some
people add a little water to
the wine before making Kid
dush on the Sabbath?
ANSWER: Some observe
the custom of adding three
drops of water to the wine
before making Kiddush. Sew
eral reasons are offered. Ac-
cording to some this is done
to add freshness to the wine
in case it was already used
before and someone drank
from it. This would mean
that this new combination is
being used for the first time
for making Kiddush. Others
say that, since wine was orig
inally offered to mourners to
console them, the water is
added as a symbol of the fact
that this wine is being used
for a happy occasion, and
pouring water was always a
symbol of happiness in Jew
ish tradition. The KabbalistS
look upon the red color of the
wine as the symbol of rigor
in exacting judgment. The
water is thus added to weaken
the red color and thus temper
judgment with mercy.
QUESTION:: Why is it Gus
tomary to recite the 31st
chapter of the Book of Pro
verbs before making the Kid
dush on Friday evening?
ANSWER: The tradition is
to recite the last % verses of
this proverb because they de-
scribe the virtues of the val
orouS woman. Some consider
this custom as an avenue of
bringing peace into the home
through having the husband
both realize and articulate the
praises that are due to the
woman of the household. 9th
erS consider the verses as
praise to the Sabbath Bride,
who enters on the Sabbath.
The KabbaliStS consider the
% verses as representative of
the blessings of the Divine
Presence, which enters each
obSerVant Jewish home on the
Sabbath. The verses represent
the twenty-five channels of
blessings which comes from
the heavens.
QUESTION: Why is it
customary for Jewish women
to offer special prayers for
their children when kindling
the Sabbath candles?
ANSWER: This tradition
is traced to the writings of

mentary on the Bible (on the
portion of Yithro). The eX-
planation is that it is always

1T COULD HAPPEN that one of these days (per-
haps when the Messiah comes) they will take Will
Shakespeare's obnoxious Merchant of Venice" out
of the school curricula and substitute for it the won
derful play '"The Diary of Anne Frank"
We had the opportunity to see the brilliant actor
Francis Lederer perform in 'The Diary at the Som
brero Playhouse in Phoenix last week.
The play itself is truly great piece of work. 1t
tells story the world should forget-the story
of mans inhumanty to 1t is accurate heart
rendng picture of people living under reign of terror
imposed by the madman Hitler
And yet despite the poignancy of the story, the
performance presented by the veteran actor, MIR.
Lederer, was not depressing True there several
times during the play that weeping could be heard
from the audience
But Mr. Lederer kept the message of the play
and the characterization of the Frank family and their
friends above bearing drama.
WHAT is the reaction of non-Jewsh audience
to such a story about Jewish oppression?
1t was evident from remarks of the Phoenix
theater-goers they left the Playhouse that they
had absorbed great and vital story.
1t seemed that the fine performances by Mr..
Lederer Otto Frank, Denise Alexander as Anne
sage across. The cast had evoked more than SYM
pathy for oppressed Jews from the audience. 1t is
possible they had evoked understanding for the
position of Jewry world that rarely stops to under
stand.
Mr.. Lederer who has brought the Dairy" to
audiences throughout the country, is to be congratu
lated
" ~ "
TO A PERSON of Jewish faith watching the
enactment of "The Diary of Anne Frank" there is
also understanding to be gained.
AS you watch the Frank and the Van Dean fami
lies climb into the ramshacke attic to hide from the
Nazis, you wonder How far removed are we from
such a scene? . =. Could not Anne Frank have been
your own daughter? E. =.
And you wonder, too, you look at the audience
around you . would your neghbor hide you in his

to note the appearance of Mr.. Dusse, who couldn't
believe anyone would want to persecute him Jew.

QUESTION: Why is it
customary for Jewish women

ANSWER: This tradition
is traced to the writings of

time when the Jewish women

functions, lie. kindling the
Sabbath candles, that they be-
seech the Almighty for the
welfare of their children. The
rabbis specifically note (Tal-
mud Babli, Shabbos 23a) that
one who properly observes
the commandment of kindling
the candles begets scholarly
children. It is also stated that
Jewish learning is compared
