Case for Israel

The intemperate and un-
documented statements made
by Richard w. Bonneville in
his letter on November 81
criticizing the remarks by
William Harrison on Israel'S
development certainly call for
some comment.
More often than not, gen.
eral phrases such as "by this
time most intelligent people
should be familiar, etc" /"
merely cover up the speaker
or writer's own feelings, and
this seems to be the case with
your correspondent. Mr.. Bon
nevalle is apparently unaware
Cor if he is aware. deliber-
ately forgets to mention) that
it was the Arab military
campaign to prevent the
implementation of a U. N.
resolution and the establish
ment of the State of Israel in
1948 which led to the exodus
of the Arab refugees. If there
had been no Arab attack
against Israel in 1913, there
would today be no Arab
refugee problem. The Arab
states must therefore bear
responsibility for the origin
of this problem. as they bear
responsibility for its continu-
alton.
Mr.. Bonneville states that
he has "lived in the Middle
East for a number of years"
and thus knows that the
Arabs suspect Israel of ever
increasing expansion at the
expense of adjacent Arab
countries" During his ex-
tended stay among them, did
Mr.. Bonneville ever point out
that one way of allaying
these fears and ensuring
safety against expansionism
would be for the Arabs to
accept Israel's offer of peace
treaties or non-aggression
pacts which could be ac-
knowledged and ratified by
the United Nations?

Traditional Christmas
Seals are in the mail now .
familiar symbols of the holi-
day season. But I wonder
how many citizens think be-

What do they really repre-
sent to the people who give
to the fight against tubercu-
losis through their purchase?
1t is my professional privi-
lege to see the actual serv-
ices performed through the
sale Of these seals; the cases
Of tuberculosis discovered
because Of chest x-rays and
tuberculin testing; the heal
ing Of the disease through
prompt and adequate treat
meft; the home-bound pa
tient rehabilitated and
cheered by occupational
therapy; better health habits
encouraged by health educa-
ton in schools and to the
public; patients who are to
be hospitalized furnished
with necessary personal
items; transportation for pa
tients the list could go
on and on and still not tell
the warm, human story of
life and hope which is writ

knowledge in this regard may
aid your readers in reaching
the decision to support the

Another point, in the old
days, against taking piano
lessons if you were male and
II years old was that the
other boys called you sissy.
Nobody liked 10 be called
sissy. of course, so no doubt
scores of potential pianists
were lost to fame.
Sometimes a boy submit
ted, then in time he became
the envy of others, but this
was hard to make him un-
derstand beforehand.
Hindsight. however, comes
to some; to Temp Jones it
has always been a source of
regret that he never buckled
down to it and took piano"
1t seems strange to him, at
this distance, that nobody
made him do it. He was not
athletic, and he had a fine
head of blondish brown hair,
the kind the ladies love to
run their fingers through.

Here was a world-famous
pianist, maybe, going to
waste, spending his time
reading "Old King Brady"
and Nick Carter" and THE
Liberty Boys of 10"
So much stress has been
put in "reminiscences on the
famous dime novels" that
some people forget the nickel
ones.
These were 80 pages, large
size, with splendid tales of
adventure. The morals of the
participants were high, and
the love affairs, if any, of
the greatest virtue.
Boys thrilled to the adven-
lures of Dick Merriwell and
Fred Fearnot, and the heroes
of the Henty books.
There were only two piano
playing boys in Temp Jones
home town, and they were
both sissies.
Reading about Dick Merri-
we'll was all right, but play
ing the piano, somehow, was
all wrong.
This was just one of the
many mistakes Templeton
Jones was to make in his
life.

Laboratory Heroes

The National Society for
Medical Research has made
use of some strange alchemy
concerning the awards to dog
heroes"
We would be the last to
deny that many dogs are
heroes through voluntary ef-
forts on their own part, but
when the helpless pawn in
the business of medical re-
search is designated as the
recipient of an award, the
reasoning of the group which
speaks for men of medical
science becomes incompre-
hensible. 1t would be as logi-
cal to present the prize
winning pumpkin at a coun-
ty fair with an award instead
of giving it to the man who
grew it. We are curious too
to know just what benefit the
recipient animal gets from
such an award. We feel sure
that any animal given its
free choice would never have
elected to be the subject of
experimental laboratory pro-
cedures. If the NSMR wishes
to present awards to the men
who work in the laboratories,
then their reasoning at least
is clear, but when "the ca
nine equivalent of the Nobel
Prize" is given to the poor
helpless object of their ex-
periments just becase it man
ages to survive or have the
right type blood, we consider
this to be a very dubious
means of promoting good
public relations with the
thinking public.

The difficulty of avoiding
the religious isSue-shameful
as it is-in the 1860 presiden-
tial campaign, for nomina-
ton as well as for election,
has now become apparent.
The statement recently issued
by the Roman Catholic bish-
ops Of the United States op-
posing the use of public funds
to promote artificial birth
control at home and abroad
was simply a restatement of
the traditional attitude of
the Catholic Church.
But the statement was i'm
mediately challenged by the
Right Rev. James A. Pike,
Protestant Episcopal Bishop
Of San Francisco. Bishop
Pike said the policy favored
by the Catholic bishops would
condemn rapidly increasing
peoples in less favored lands
to starvation, misery, bond
age and despair And he
posed the question: "IS the
Catholic bishops statement
binding on Roman Catholic
candidates for public ofice?"
His query Immediately was
interpreted as applying to
Senator John F. Kennedy of
Massachusetts,, the 'front.'
running candidate for the
Democratic presidential nom
ination, and to Gov. Pat
Brown of California, a favor
ite-son candidate for that
nomination.
Senator Kennedy has made
an effective reply. He said in
effect that the United States
should not attempt, in its use
of funds to aid peoples in
underdeveloped countrie S
with large populations, to
compel them to the use of
birth-control methods. The
peoples in those countries, he
said, should decide such ques-
tions for themselves. He said,
too, this had been his own
opinion and position long be-
fore the Catholic bishops
statement was issued.
And he added, very prop
erly, that if he were Chief
Executive he would be guided
by the best interests of the
United States if such a ques-
ton ever came before him
he would be guided by his
oath of Office under the
provisions of the Constitu-
ton. Further, Senator Ken
nedy said this query should
not be limited to him, but
should be put to all other
candidates or potential candi-
dates for the presidency.
Issue Invoked
Aside from the whole ques-
ton of birth control and
morality and economics in
volved, and aside from Sena-
tor Kennedy'S reply and those
of other candidates, the issue
raised by Bishop Pike in reply
to the Catholic bishops has
brought to the fore the So
called religious issue. 1t has
served to focus public atten-
ton on the fact that Senator
Kennedy is a Roman Catholic
and so is Gov. Brown, while
the rest of the candidates in
his own party and in the
Republican Party are Prot
eStants.
What effect this will have
on the Kennedy candidacy
for the Democratic presiden-
tial nomination remains to
be seen. One leading Demo-

crat, who is entirely friendly
to the nomination of Sena-
tor Kennedy, said very
frankly when questioned that
If there is any real substance
to the anti-Catholic- for
President attitude in this
country this wide publicity.
emphasizing the fact Sena-
tor Kennedy is a Catholic,
might be harmful to him.
Should this prove to be
true, and should many of the
Democratic leaders be i'm
pressed, the chances of other
Democratic potential nomi-
nees would likely be en-
hanced at the expense of
Senator Kennedy. That this
would be unfair to Senator
Kennedy, that it would indi-
cate bigotry still existed in
this country, is beside and
outside cold political atti-
tudeS. 1t is also likely there
would be additional drives
in the interest of other
Democratic candidates for
the party'S presidential NOM
ination.
Problem for Democrats
The situation growing out
Of the emphasis placed on
the religious issue poses a
real problem for the Demo-
Gratis. If at the convention in
Los Angeles next July they
should now turn down Sen
ator Kennedy, they might
offend a very large group of
voters of their own party.
This is a matter the party
leaders win undoubtedly
have to consider. To some
extent, it should aid the
Kennedy candidacy. This
time alone will show.
More and more talk of
drafting" Adlai Stevenson
for the Democratic nomina-
ton is heard. 1t grows par
ticularly in view of the tam
gle in which the Democrats
f1nd themselves over a pleth-
ora OF potential candidates.
The question about Senator
Kennedy now arising more
sharply is giving it impetus.
A drive for the establish
ment of National Citizens
League for Stevenson" has
been launched in California,
with a College Student
League for Adlai and also a
Junior Citizens League for
Adlai. One announced pur-
pose is to obtain five million
signatures to a petition re-
queSting the Democratic
National Convention when
it meets in Los Angeles to
nominate the former Illi-
nois Governor for President.
Already the movement has
spread to other States.
In Missouri the political
leaders are moving to arouse
interest throughout the coun-
try in Senator Symington. A
national Youth for Syming-
ton movement has just been
launched in Columbia, Mo-,
as part Of this campaign for
the Missouri Senator. This
pro-Symington group will
seek to establish Youth for
Symington clubs throughout
the country. The Missouri
Senator is looked upon by
some party leaders as an
ideal compromise candidate
whose voting record in Con-
gresS is favorable to labor
and the farmers. as we'll as
other groups in the party
and Nation.

born in Baltimore county, Mary
land, a young Negro, Benjamin
Bannecker. Born of free parents,
he was able to get a 9th grade
education in pay schools. At an
early age he showed an aptitude
for mathematics, and as he grew
older became most proficient. On

took up surveying, field in which
he excelled.
When in 1870, George Washing

the course of the work misunder-

parted with his plans. Banneker
however had studied the plans, and
