Senator Church
Keynote Speaker
AT Democrat Fete

u. S. Senator Frank Church of
Idaho, at "a, the Senate's young
est member and already labeled
by many as "the young Borah, "
will be the principal speaker at
the Jefferson-Jackson Day din
ner on Thursday, May IA, in the
State Armory, Tenth and Du-
Pont Streets, Wilmington, it was
announced by Frank ]. Horty,
chairman for the affair.
1--WE think it's a stroke of
luck that the Senator had this
date available" said Horty. "As
some of you might remember,
/ he was co-chairman of the
speakers bureau of the Senate
Democratic Senatorial campaign
committee. / think that's the
best endorsement of his speak
ing ability"
With his youth, his gift for
oratory and his representation
of Idaho in the Senate, he is in
evitably being compared to the
states late great Senator Will
liam E. Borah, one of the Sen
ate's most noted spokesman in
the twenties and thirties.
Wins Douglas Praise
Senator Paul Douglas of Illin.
ois has put him first among the
bright young men of politics, y
with the comment, "Uuless ac-
cident intervenes, Church should
be long in the Senate-and per-
haps as much an influence, in
his own style, as his famed pre-
decessor, William E. Borah."
While the Senator's eloquence
is the chief reason for his ma.
tional reputation, he compiled
an unusual record for a fresh.
man Senator. He was chosen to
serve on four committees, some.
thing of record.
1t was as a member of the
Civil Service Committee that
Senator Church conducted an in.

vestigation that led the Admin
istration to withdraw the nom-
ination of Bernard L. Flanagan
as Civil Service Commissioner.
1t was under the Senator's ques-
tioning that Flanagan admitted
he had made numerous mis-
statements on his application
for federal posts, admissions
which led to the withdrawal of
his nomination.
At the start of the 86th Con-
gress, Church was given one of
the much sought-after member
ships on the Senate Foreign Re-
lations Committee. Again, he is
the first Idahoan to serve on that
committee since Senator Borah.
The Senator was born in
Boise, July rs, 1924. While in
high school he won the national
American Legion oratorical con-
test and a four-year scholarship
which helped finance his college
education.
World War II came before
college, however. Church was
commissioned an infantry officer
on his 10th birthday. He subse-
quently served in military intel
ligence, seeing action in the
China-Burma-India theatre.
Wins By Landslide
He received his bachelors de-

gree from Stanford University
after the war, and then went on
to study law at Harvard and
Stanford, receiving his law de-
gree from the latter school. He
was practicing law in Boise
when he was elected to the Sem
ate in 1856 by one of the largest
pluralties ever given a candidate
for office in the states history.
His reputation in the Senate
is based on more than eloquence
alone. He can take important
credit for his role in the passage
of such historical national leg
islation as civil rights and Alas
kan statehood.
He co-sponsored the jury trial
amendment to the Civil Rights
measure, and was the author of
another which assured Negroes
the right to serve on federal
juries. The jury trial amendment
is generally credited with break
ing the legislative jam and open
ing the way to the passage OF
the legislation.
Senator Church was selected
as one of the 10 outstanding
young men of the year for 1858
by the National Junior Chamber
of Commerce. He has been chos-
en- for its Hall of Fame by the

ing are two of his favorite hob
bies. Closely allied to his flying
he mentioned his enjoyment of
two-way radio work. He main
tains CAP radio station and a
mobile unit, and enjoys hi-fii
music on records and tape. He
is also a member of the Aircraft
Owners and Pilots Association.
He has travelled all over the
Eastern seaboard from the
northern reaches of Canada to
Florida, and through the Middle
West, and other parts of Central
and Eastern Canada. He and his
wife, Marie Sharpless Toman,
live here in Smyrna at 202 West
Commerce Street. She shares his
interest in photography and fly
ing, and is herself a member of
the Civil Air Patrol, holding the
rank of Chief Warrant Officer.
The couple has resided at the
Commerce Street address since
their marriage last June.

Thirty-two years ago a IL

Bible Message
HOLINESS is MEETING
OFDAILY OBLIGATIONS

nection with its various precepts:
reverence for parents, considera-
ton for the needy, prompt wages
for reasonable hours, no tale-bear-
ing or malice, love of ones neigh
Dor and cordiality to aliens, equal
Justice to rich and poor, etc.
Holiness is thus attained not by
flight from the world, nor by the
monk-like renunciation of human
relationships of family and station,
but by the spirit in which we full
fill the obligations of life in its
simplest and commonest details.
Accepting life as positive force
of human endeavors-together with
adherence of everything unclean,
irrational or heathen-makes the
human being holy. By doing justly,
loving mercy and walking humbly
with our God - is everyday life
transfigured into life of holiness
and Sanctity.

IT won't attempt to describe the
bull fight. But when the moment
came for El Yanqui to administer
the lethal stroke, he moved like a
flash of light, sinking the blade
downward, past the powerful curv-
ed neck, through the heart OF the
bull. Death was instantaneous. A
torrent of blood gushed from the
mouth and nostrils of the slain.
SIMULTANEOUSLY, from the
lungs of 10000 spectators burst
endless bellowings, and later in
the afternoon, when a second bull
fell to Franklin's sword in another
single stroke, all reserve was
thrown to the winds. A mob of un-
controllable spectators swarming
down from the circular stands
bore Franklin away upon their
shoulders through the Prince S
Gate. Spain accepted the Brooklyn
bull fighter with a full heart. "
This is how Sidney Franklin first
made his mark in Spain. But the
end of this particular tale is that,

Bible Message
by RABBI CAROL KLEIN

The portion of the Bible called
"Kedoshim" occupies the central
portion in the Pentateuch. The !rab-
bis rightly regarded it as the ker-
mel of the law. In fact, this chap
ter has been looked upon as a
counterpart of the Decalogue it.
self. The precepts contained in the
chapter may, at first sight, appear
a medley of the spiritual and the
ceremonial fundamental maxims
of justice alongside ritual laws
and observances. The Torah, how
ever, regards human life as an in
divisible whole.
The command: aye shall be holy
for 1, the Lord your God am holy
dominates the official legislation
of the Torah; this verse, then, pro-
claims that man is not only to
worship God, but to initiate Him.
MORTAL MAN cannot initiate
Gods infinite majesty and His
eternity, but he can strive to keep
aloof from everything loathsome
and defiling, and especially, can he
initiate Gods merciful qualities.
Such imitation of God is held forth
as the "highest human ideal"
"Be like God, as He is merciful
and gracious, so be thou merciful
and gracious" Mark how, on the
first pages of the Torah, God
clothed the naked (Adam); and on
the last pages, He buried the dead
(Moses). He heals the sick, frees
the captives, does good even to
His enemies, and is merciful both
to the living and the dead. These
merciful qualities, therefore, are
real links between God and man
and man is never nearer to the
Divine than in his compassionate
moments.
HOLINESS is thus not so much
an abstract or a mystic idea. The
words, "Ye shall be holy" are the
keynote and must be read in con-

One of the most colorful Jewish
characters in American sports is
Sidney Franklin who, for years,
was an important bull fighter, even
though he was raised in Brooklyn
and not in Spain or Mexico.
A writer who reads this column
recently asked me how Franklin
became a matador, and / found a
little item about it in an old issue
of the New York Sun, before that
newspaper disappeared in mer-
ger with another New York news
paper.
The story was written by Bob
Davis, a famous correspondent
and adventurer in his own day.
And Davis himself got the story
from a man named Tom Camp
bell, who served as governor of
Arizona three times. This is
roundabout way of getting to a
story!
WHEN FRANKLIN began to
seek a reputation, he most natur-
ally came to Spain, where bull
fighting is an art, and nearly re-
hgion. He was advised to start out
in Seville, the Spanish headquar-
ters for the sport. Campbell, at
that time, was the U. S. Commits
sioner General in Seville, and
Campbell told the rest of the story
to Bob Davis:
II told this young man that l
would be glad to present him to the
director Don Jon Abreau, in charge
of the bullring amusements. Frank
