ArtsCounciE
Bill Reported

A bill to establish a Federal
Advisory Council on the Arts
has been favorably reported by
the House Committee on Edu-
cation and Labor.
The measure by Representa-
tive Thompson. Democrat of
New Jersey. and Representative
Wainwright, Republican of New
York, would provide an arts
council in the Department Of
Health. Education and Welfare.
The President would appoint
81 members to the council. The
major art fields would be rep
resented. including music,
drama, dance, literature, archi-
lecture, sculpture and paint
ings.
The legislation originally was
recommended to Congress by
President Eisenhower in his
1855 message on the state of
the Union.
Officials of the Department
of Health, Education and We'll
fare estimated the yearly budg-
ct for the council would be
about $50,000. Representatives
Wainwright and Thompson said
this would be far lower than
the $2,282,000 spent annually
by the British Arts Council and
the 500 million fund set aside
for the fine arts by the Cana
dian government.

TEN.
The measure. introduced by
Representative Rabaut, Demo-
crat of Michigan, would ban
any new urban renewal prof.
ects until Southwest renewal is
70 per cent finished.
1t also would, in effect, elm
mate the National Capital Plan

The federation. in rejecting a
minority committee report op-
posing the measure, said the

Arsonis+s Hit
AgencyOffice

PARIS (JTA)-The offices of the
Jewish Agency in Marseilles were
severely damaged by fire last week
and local police authorities said
they were certain the fire had
been purposely set"
1t was the second time in six
months that a Jewish Agency Of
flee in France had been damaged
by arsonists. The previous effort,
six months ago, was made at the
agency offices in this city, but gas
oline-soaked newspapers failed to
catch fire.
In Jerusalem, an Israeli radio
commentary expressed the belief
that the Marseilles blaze, like the
one attempted earlier in Paris,
was the work of Algerian rebels,
members of the Algerian National
Liberation Front.
Reports from Marseilles indicat-
ed that the Jewish Agency offices
there were still being used, despite
the damage. Files, other furniture
and typewriters were destroyed by
the flames on the second floor OF
the agency office.

AS may be expected and under
stood, Israel has IFS growing pains.
Yet as time goes by, I'm certain,
they shall improve and gradually
disappear.
PERHAPS ONE OF the most
publicized and outstanding prob
lens facing this young state has
been that of absorption. l need not
recall the vast waves of immigra-
ton that have taken place in the
last IL years. 1t has been tre-
mendous task, to which the state
together with the help of world
Jewry has risen nobly to fulfill-a
task to which a large extent under
the present difficult conditions has
been fulfilled, yet which also has
partially failed.
In Israel one seldom becomes ac-
customed to the beautiful land
scape. Yet here and there the view
is marred by ugly blots that yet
remain. These are the Mabarah,
once serving as passing-through
stage for the new immigrants in
their process of absorption into
everyday life.
The majority has passed, yet the
Mabarah has remained with its
nearly $4,000 inhabitants scattered
throughout the land. 1t has become

by the Mabarah many times-with-
out going in, without realizing the
poverty that exists-Umtil it be-
comes as an unreality, not really
existing, unnoticed, and, if occa-
sionally mentioned, passed off with
such comments as, "They never
had it so good" or "They don't
want to leave" or They're lazy"
Yet the shacks remain haunting
reminder with their dwellers still
within.
DURING A SHORT vacation I
decided to visit the Mabarah. l
made my way up from the road
winding my way between rain pud-
dies. Children played outside, many
in no more than rags, a few little
ones barefooted.
I saw near the beginning of the
rows of shacks several cabin-like
buildings. One was the grocery
store. looked inside. Several men
stood about idly or sat at lonely
table. Midst the darker, deeper
recess I could make out few
shelves with canned food, bread
loaves, and a windowed ice box
containing lone, lean chicken and
some bottles of orange juice.
I bought a bottle of orange juice,
then walked back outside and stood
against the building. One of the
men walked out otter me. His face
was wrinkled, tired; his pants were
patched.
He asked me, Are you working
on the hill today?"
"NO," ANSWERED, "just pass
ing through, had a few minutes,
thought I'd like to see your place. F"
"Come with me-" he said, "I'll
show you around my home, the
Mabarah."
l followed him through the rows
of grey shacks, each one flanked
by a row of outhouSeS. Wash on the
line, many had little trees planted;
small gardens; many were in a
state of complete disrepair.
He stopped before a one-room
shack with fence around it. From
the doorway 1 could see little girl
peering out.
"This is my home," he said.
For nine years have lived here.
Seven children have been born here
to me-"
l could hear bitterness in his
voice. then he started coughing. |

continued, ST worked for the Karen

I followed him higher up the hill.
AS we walked, he talked to me.

Don't mistake me, friend. Over half

Then we arrived at small group

what Strange may the good part about it
was that the empty.
The synagogue the middle ages provided for many
things through their charities There committees or
societies to supply orphans and for the daugh
ters of the poor synagogue provided Passover food
for the needy they could enjoy the holiday There
societies who provided for decent burial for
those could not afford it.

of their charity the Talmud also states
that only maximum of twenty per cent of your income
should go charity in order that don't mproversh

Distribution of food prevented discouraged out

tainy added to sanctity the day. The most
admired was the one who gave charity in secret

Today there many organizations who do chari-

pates in many charitable activities. The AntDefamation
League another example which protects the rights OF the
Jews all over Another organization which helps
immigrants that assistance is the Hebrew Immigrant

But one of the most important organizations is the
Jewish which collects money and distributes
it throughout the Compared to the Red Cross the

How can we help? We can help by giving share of

According to Hebrew language there is no WORD
which saws charity We word Zedua to mean
charity but this word entirely different meaning
In Hebrew the word to do the right thing
for people or to be righteous your behavior To do just
ly means to help people that need our help.
According the great Jewish philosopher Moses
Manonides there are eight steps of zeduka beginning
with the first or lowest degree This is who gives
with regret He give but he hates giving The high
est or eighth step meritorious of all Main
ondes sad 1.-The highest of zeduka is to anticipate
charity by preventing poverty; namely to assist the re-
duced brother either by considerable gift or loan OF
money or by teaching him by putting him into
the way of business may an honest iveli
hood and not be the dreadful alternative of
holding up his hand for charity.
To me this means Jews responsible for one
another We have to help all who need help wher-
ever they 1t also to me that we should try TO
help all people who help wherever they are In
our Religious School of fellow Jews all over
the world We know that the Zeduka we give helps IN
many ways First zeduka supports Israel and
the people of Israel by providing farm equipment food
and manufacturing that land 1t also helps build roads
and water pipes through the country Secondly our ze-
duka fights diseases of Israel and in doing so
helps fight tracoma tuberculosis and many other dreadful
diseases in the Middle East Thirdly, help feed and
clohe Jews all over who need such help Fourt
w. our zeduka helps many groups in the United States

Police Pay Bill
Changes Asked

District officials today asked
that a bill to give Washington
policemen and f1remen a salary
increase be amended to iron
out pay inequities.
The testimony was given at
a Senate District Fiscal Sub
committee hearing on a bill to
raise the salaries by rs per
cent. The Commissioners had
dropped active support for all
city pay raise legislation in
line with the position of the
Federal Budget Bureau.
At today's hearing before the
subcommittee, headed by Sen
ator Frear, Democrat of Della
ware, Commissioner Robert E.
Mclaughlin suggested that the
bill be amended to give a 7.9
per cent salary increase. This,
he said, would permit elimina-
tion of salary inequities.
At today's hearing, support
for the bill came from Senator
Mansfield, Democrat of Mon
tana, one of the three spon-
sors of the measure. The bill
was introduced by Senator
Beall, Republican of Maryland,

Yesterday at the close of

priced at $3.50; the 5 by 8 foot
is $3.50.
On the Senate side the same
sizes were $3.50 and $3.50.
