Defense Budget Expected to Grow
Along With Taxes in 1865

Many Of our politicians do
not seem to believe that "you
can't have your cake and eat
it." They talk about fiscal
solvency and at the same time
they urge increased spending
as if the resources and earn
ing power Of the United
States were limitleSs.
Many Office seekers speak
about eventual tax relief, but
this is the customary pre-
election bait. They know that
direct, indirect and invisible
taxes will increase rather
than decrease. This is the way
in a welfare state, which ap-
pears to be the goal of most
Democratic hopefuls and Of
some Republicans as well.
Few among our politicians
are inclined to put first
things first and leave some
projects to days when the
international picture is less
threatening.
National defense expendi-
ture takes top priority. We
must provide at least SAL bill
lion for the coming fiscal
year. And this is a conserva-
tive figure which may rise in
the next few months If steel
prices go up.
Unless a miracle happens
in Russia and China-and
there are no indications that
it will-the defense budget
will grow substantially In the
COS. We cannot let down our
guard.
The logic Of the situation
would require that our politi-
cal leaders try to cut down
other projects dear to their
hearts and admittedly neces-
sary to our future welfare.
There must be a realization,

to typewriters. Our exports
have sunk to a measly
$4,000. while we imported in
1859 no less than $4,000

Italy and Switzerland. The

watches, glass, manufactured

Unless the trend is stopped
we face not only a loss of
revenue but what is more
important a substantial loss
in employment. This does not

are for national defense or
for projects in foreign coun-

money and repaid abroad in
counterpart funds which
must remain in local cur
rencies in the recipient coun-

Politicians speak frequently
Of a reduction in income
taxes and fiscal soundness as
a sop to the electorate. But
they know we'll that the op-
posite is true. They feel
compelled to yield for elec-
toral purposes to the pressure
groups which demand their
pet projects costing billions
be put into effect. And in
the meantime there is dis

Judgment of Those Beroting President
Because It's q Right Called Faulty

Republicans in Congress have
gone along with the admin
istration's foreign policy, but
the majority in the Senate
have not. The strange spec
tacle Of a major political
party differing with the party
in power on a foreign policy
question in a period of great
crisis has literally driven in
dignant voters to the Demo-
cratic side"
This was just after a
Gallup poll had shown a
switch from a So per cent
majority a few weeks before
predicting a Republican VIC
tory, to a IS per cent majority
predicting a Democratic vic
tory in 1910. The main
reason, as commented on by
this writer, was the uncalled-
for partisan attack by Re-
publicans on the Democratic
administration.
Prior to the Yalta con-
ference in January, 1945,
these dispatches called atten-
ton to the absence of parti-
sanship inside and outside of
Congress, and it was written
here that "at no time since
the war began has there been
such a unanimity of senti-
ment on both sides of the
political aisle as there is
today"
Then, in June. 1850, when
another Democratic Presi-
dent, Harry Truman, took the
all-important step Of order
ing our military forces into
action in Korea, this corre-
spondent reported: There
is no more partisan politics
now, as both parties get be-
hind the President in a re-
markable demonstration of
unity before all the world"
The idea advanced in some
quarters recently that those
who decry partisanship in
the midst of an international
crisis are, therefore, against
all forms of criticism is alb
surd on its face. Nobody OBJ
jects to criticism of any gov
ernmental policy, but there is
a time and place for every
thing. One does not like to
see Cyrus Eaton parading
around Communist countries
heaping criticism on his own
government, though he does

old and moody Notre Dame
football guard, Il think Of

How is that?"

one of Rockne's good teams.
We won ten and lost one.
And the one we lost is the
one which makes me think

THE Iowa game was COM
ing up and we were favored
to win by about two touch
downs. But Iowa had a big
Negro tackle named Duke
Slater. He was one of the
best I ever saw. Anyhow, the
papers got to speculating
about what would happen
when Anderson and Slater
met. The irresistible force
and the immovable object.

Is There A Religious Revival?

the opinion that most Jews actually get
along without it, and even among the af-
filiated, the influence of the synagogue is
sporadic and superficial. Although more
synagogues are being built, they do not
generate stronger emotional attachment
to Jewish values, DR.. Feldman empha-
sized. He considers that Jewish life and
culture is now being left almost exclusive
ly to the rabbi, the cantor, the Hebrew
school teacher and the enlightened social
worker And he stresses the fact that only
half of all Jewish children in this country
attend a Jewish school, half of these
only for one or two hours week.
Hardly two-fifths of the Jewish chill
dren get as much as four to five hours
of Jewish instruction a week, and seldom
for more than two or three years.

Historic events in the life of the Amerl-
can Jewish community were recalled at
the biennial convention of the American
Jewish Congress.
If is a. years since the Congress was
horn. There are still many men and Wo-
men active today in Jewish affairs VINO
remember clearly the electrifylng erect
of a call issued to the Jews of America
in 1918 by Rabbi Stephen S. Wise.
number of other leaders = among
them Justice Louis D. Brandeis and Ma
than Straus = had joined Wise in plan
ming a new body, named American jewish
Congress. 1t was Wise, in his eloquent
fashion, who issued the call for the lorna
ton of the Congress. He addressed the
Jewish people of America He stated:
"Not relief but redress; not palliation
but prevention; not charity but justice -
this is the only program worthy OF
great and proud people"
The following year, 1919, an American
Jewish Congress delegation was at YER
sailles, was instrumental - with others -
in securing treaty guarantees of minority
rights at the peace conference that formal
" concluded World War 1, and in defend
ing Zionist interests.
These facts are recalled by AJC Old
timers today as significant. They see
straight line leading from Stephen Wise's
Congress CALL to the achievements at Yer
sailles in 1919, to the agenda facing the
AJC convention this year.
Stephen Wise, they point out, spoke OF
the Jews as people" A religious leader
himself, he spoke not alone of the jewish
faith. A Zionist, he spoke not only OF the
homeland which was later to become Is

gram of action for the Jewish people.

Rabbi Wise's Historic Call

Jewish religion of any trend, any
where.
Jewish concern for human rights - for
all peoples
ONLY in the context of such basic Jewish
"peoplehood," say the veterans, can the
American Jewish Congress today put into
focus the needs of tomorrow, spotlight
the new perspectives needed for new
decade ahead.
Those perspectiveS were summarized, In
this years AJC convention call, by its pres
ident, Rabbi Joachim Prinz. They were:
1. Strengthening Congress activities in
the area of Jewish education and culture.
2. Continuing activities on behalf OF
civil rights and for continued separation
of Church from State in American life.
3. Renewing Congress projects focuss-
ing on intergroup tensions, including the
sources of recent anti-JeWiSh incidents.
q. Continuing and maintaining the work
of the Congress concerned with lnterna-
tional affairs. These include the Arab
boycott against Israel, Arab attacks
against the American Jews, the plight
of Jews behind the Iron Curtain, and re-
surgence or the danger of resurgence OF
neo-Nazism in Germany.
Looking toward the 1960s, DR.. Pr1nz
sees that the American Jewish Congress
must undertake new and enlarged pro-
grams aimed at encouraging Jewish iden-
tification, defending our felloW-JeWs
abroad, analyzing the source of antl-JeW'
ish tensions in this country and partlcl-
pating fully in the struggle for full equal
ity in a free society for all Americans.
How can these goals be reached?
DR.. PrinZ answers:
"By rededicating ourselves to our
guiding principles. Through proud and
vibrant Jewishness. Through profound
devotion to democracy. Through an abld-
ing love for Israel and for the jewish
people in every land Through renewal or
our commitments, as individuals and as
an organization, to our ultimate and fun
damental goal - the creative continuity

ShuvUoUs
Is Time
For BIinfzes
BY David Schwartz

ON Sf1AVOO1 we COIIl-
memorate the great event of
the Revelation on Sinai.
There is an old YiddiSh folk
saying which seems to reflect
a not-too-happy feeling about
it. "You choose us; Rabbono
Shell Olam (God) what did
you want of us?"
The Torah did not always
bring us happiness. Yet this
saying scarcely reflected the
lasting feeling of the Jew.
Even at the time of great suf-
fering, the Jew also derived
Joy from his faith. The mar
tyred Rabbi Akiba going to
his death thanked God that
he had been privileged to give
his very life for the Torah.
Anyway, on Shavuot we
can always enjoy eating
blintZeS.
The TOrah is likened to
milk and honey, as Jews on
Shavuot eat dairy foods and
particularly blintzes. To the
good Jew, the Torah tasted
like blintZeS.
Recently l have been hear
ing on the radio in New York
the commercial of a firm
which is marketing blintZes.
"BlintZes are as American as
apple pie," says this CONNER
cial.
Let me say that exult in
my Americanism. 1 have
stood with bowed head at
Plymouth Rock. I have tipped
my hat to Liberty's goddess
in the harbor of New York.
My heart has expanded view
ing the grandeur of nature at
the Grand Canyon. I thrill
with the paeans to the Amer
lean pioneers in the rhythms
of Walt Whitman, but I must
say, blintzes are not Ameri-
can. Many good things are
American. The Declaration of
independence, the Constitu-
tino of the United States,
baseball is American, and
Coca-Cola, but no, blintzes are
not as American as apple pie!
1 am sure that George
Washington ate apple pie, but
he did not eat blintzes. There
is a bit of a sad look about
Washington. The blintzes
eater does not have it.
Thomas Jefferson must
have eaten plenty of apple
pies. And more likely than
Washington, you might ex-
pect him to have eaten
blintzes for Jefferson was
something of a connoisseur of
food and cooking. His oppo-
nents in his race for the Pres
idency charged that Jefferson
was too fond of foreign
dishes. Jefferson himself
wrote that when he was in
France, he used to like to go
out among the plain people
and see how they lived and he
tells us, he even liked to look
into their pots and see what
was cooking.
Jefferson would no doubt
have been receptive to blintZes
but none came his way. If he
had eaten them, no doubt he
would have commented about
their exceptional taste. He
was not the type to overlook
anything exceptional. He es-
pecially liked music and what
could put one in a more musi-
cal frame of mind than dish
of blintzes?
1 should like to agree with
the radio commercial and say
that blintZeS are as American
as apple pie, but 1 cannot tell
a lie. However, l am all for
the success of the company
which is trying to spread
blintZeS.
They are very simple to
make. The Universal Jewish
Encyclopedia gives the recipe.

Before the American uniform, they all assumed

save the Rabbits daughter from determination under

THE SERGEANT was so completely out of
grim comedy
If the part had been presented rue-to-hstory
it would have shown the Sergeant taking his pleasures
with the Rabbits daughter after the Captain was fin
ished with his beastly performance.
No German Sergeant repented-thati is not until
the Allied armies swept across the Rhine.
Then all Germans became innocents'. None was
a Nazi None was guilty of the murder of six million
Jews and millions of others.
No German was guilty of burning Jewish books,
smashing the windows of Jewish shops. No German
soldier was guilty of smashing and killing Jews on the
streets of German cities.
I recall German dairy store owner in Nuren-
burg telling me how he had been thrown into prison
because in 1910 he had bought at Jewish store But
what did this little German do about it?
He covered in Jail. When he came out ne went
on about his business without either raising his voice
in protest or leaving country that had become

SERGEANT LOTT of Playhouse 80 was unreal
