From the National Community
Relations Advisory Council, repre-
senting the American Jewish Con-
gress, Jewish Labor Committee,
Jewish War Veterans of the U.S.A.,
National Council of Jewish Women,
Union of American Hebrew Congre-
cations, Union of Orthodox Jewish
Congregations of America, and
United Synagogue of America:
while evidence at this time does
not justify the conclusion that the
spate of incidents are parts of an
organized plot or the result of
central planning or direction. the
rapidity and range of their spread
are cause for concern and merit
close and alert attention.
"At least insofar as the incidents
in the United States are concerned,
they appear to be the work of
cranks and hoodlums whose weak
and impressionable minds have
been infected by the examples set
by the German anti-SemiteS re-
sponsible for the wave of desecra-
tions in that country.
owe ARE CONFIDENT that the
American people will recoil from
and reject the crude bigotry dis
played by the daubers of swastikas
and hate slogans and that the
authorities will make every effort
to seize the culprits and see that
they are punished or afforded
psychiatric care, as the case may
be.
Experience has taught us that
disturbed individuals who find out
lets for their irrational hatfeds in
acts of vandalism and desecration
are highly susceptible to suggestion
and that they tend to be incited
to such acts by publicity about
them. While it would be unwise to
dismiss or disregard any such
wave of incidents as those that
have taken place, it is equally i'm
portant that rock-throwings and
other vandalisms that are appar-
emily the work of mentally dis
turbed perpetrators not be exag-
gerated or given undue pronln-
ence.
while these observations apply
to the incidents in New York and
other American cities, it is i'm
possible to appraise the widespread
series of anti-Semitic and anti
Catholic episodes in Germany in
the same terms. Bigotry and
hatred are not unique to Germany
as the deplorable spread of the
current rash of depradations has
painfully reminded us. But the Ger
man incidents, scattered and
sporadic though they may be
have shocked the conscience of the
world because they call up dark
memories and not yet forgotten
! fears.

Deep Concern

From Rabbi Irving Miller, Amer
lean Zionist Council chairman:
"It is too easy to dismiss these
incidents as the work of irrespon-
sible hooligans. We should be COM
mitting a historic error if we treat
ed them thus lightly
There is cause for deep con-
cern, but not for panic We must
realize that the poison in Ger
many's system has not yet been
dissipated despite the sincere eff
forts of Chancellor Adenauer and
his colleagues to purge the German
nation of the terrible guilt incurred
during the Hitler epoch.
obviously, these efforts have
not been sufficient to eradicate the
virus. Not enough has been done
educationally and psychologically
to cleanse Germany of the deep
rooted stain of Nazism. The respon-
sibility resting on the shoulders of
the Bonn government is all the
more grave since recent events
have shown that actions and at
titudes within Germany set the
pattern for anti-Semitic activities
everywhere
what has happened in Germany
and its ugly echoes in the United
States should alert right-thinking
Americans to the dangers of our

Israel Bank Hikes
Gold Reserves

JERUSALEM (JTA)-The Israel
State Banks foreign currency and
gold reserves increased by $29, ,0OO,-
900 in 1859, totaling $124 100000 by
the end of the year. The bank re-
corded 1859 profits of 102, 900, 900
Israeli pounds, turning over the
sum to the government treasury.
A new government organization,
designed to encourage private in
vestments from abroad, will start
operations within the next few
weeks. Twelve offices will be op-
ened in as many American cities
soon, and other offices will be
started later this year in Europe,
North Africa, South America, and
Union of South Africa.

German government in its prompt
and vigorous denunciation of anti
Semitic acts, it's seizure and pun
ishment of guilty individuals and
its exposure of the neo-Nazi organ

them, it is plain that much more
fundamental measures are re-
quired.
Germany remains the breeding
ground of anti-Semitism The
German government must do more
than register shock and dismay,
more than apprehend and punish
culprits. 1t must take the funda-

Christian Problem

From Louis Segal, Farband La
Dor Zionist Order general secre-
tary:
while Jews in Israel and in
every corner Of the globe are deep
ly shocked by this rash of anti
Jewish vandalism, this is not es-
sentially our problem. 1t is the
problem of those who are concern
ed with the moral stature of the
Christian world The important
church groups in all major coun-
tries should organize long range
educational programs among their
adherents to remove once and for
all this blight upon the morality
of the world
"Only if the offenders are placed
unequivocally beyond the moral
pale of the civilized world by the
recognized leaders of the religion
they profess will this spiritual
crisis approach solution"

Malicious Mischief

Henry Edward Schultz, national
chairman of B'nai Births Anti
Defamation League, warned that
desecration of houses of worship
in the U. S. must not be confused
with the incidents in Germany, de-
claring that U. S. incidents are
malicious mischief" and mot
symptomatic of growing, organized
anti-Semitism."
While organized anti-Semitism
seems at its lowest ebb in years, !"
he said, discrimination against
Jews in many areas continues to
be matter of grave concern.
Whenever dramatic outbreaks of
bigotry take place and are widely
reported, the lunatic fringe is in
spired to initiate"
HE ASSERTED that there is no
Significant organized anti-Semitic
movement in the United States.
But there are enough men with
sick minds walking the streets to
be stimulated into acts of wanda
liSrn.
Benjamin R. Epstein, ADL's ma
tional director, declared that anti
Jewish incidents in Germany "can-
not be looked upon as isolated
acts, but must be viewed against
that nations history 1t is a
matter of gaining general accept
ance of a public policy that repudi-
ates the past unequivocally and
seeks to create a society that is

Apothy Blamed

Dr. Joachim Prinz, American
Jewish Congress president, de-
clared that hoodlum elements in
Germany have been emboldened
by the "apathy and Indifference"
of large sections of the German
people to the problem of anti
Semitism. While responsibility for
such incidents rests with an "incor-
rigible minority" he said, it is
also true that "the perpetrators of
the Cologne outrage would not
have dared to act in an unpropi-
tiouS atmosphere.

From Albert Vorspan, executive

Bid For Publicity :

From the Jewish Community
Council of Greater Washington:
1.-The Jewish Community Council
of Greater Washington is obviously
concerned and deeply troubled by
the distribution in this community
of vicious, Nazi-like, anti-Jewish
and anti-Negro leaflets published
by G. Lincoln Rockwell, who re-
fers to himself and his half-dozen
hangers-on as the American Nazi
Party
1--WE believe that the reports in
today's Dec.20 YiddiSh press of
flooding our city with Rockwell's S
leaflets are gross exaggeraticns.
The leaflets were placed on auto
mobile windshields and in some
boxes on three successive Satur-
days, Dec. 5, II, and 10, in four
limited residential areas and were
also handed out on a street corner
in downtown Washington for short
periods during these three Satur-
days.

authorities are deeply concerned,
and both they and the federal
authorities have the situation under
active investigation We have
reason to be confident that Rock
wells vicious propaganda efforts
will fall on deaf ears in the pres
ent instance, as they have in the
past, and we believe that there is
no reason for alarm Rockwell
is avid for publicity. 1t would be
ill-advised and a disservice to the
Jewish community to take any
steps that would afford him such
publicity or the public platform he
so desperately seeks"

Moral Loxi+y'

From the Association OF jewish
Chaplains of the Armed Forces:
1.-THE outbreak of synagogue and
church dissertations is further evi-
dence of the moral laxity of our
times and threatens to undermine
efforts on behalf of world peace
and understanding Coming on
the heels of recent exposures of TV
scandals, payola, and other moral
dereIictions, the attacks on houses
of worship are warning that the
free world needs to pursue more
dynamic program of moral lead

captain said.
The witness told police he
didn't think the boy intended
to fire. Capt. Woods continued.
He said the boy with the gun
broke down and cried. and
walked over to Slim and the
witness and begged them not
to tell police.
One of the other boys, how
ever, stuck his knife into the
fire which had been kindled
in an old barrel, heated the
weapon and pressed it against
the witness leg, Capt. Woods
said.
The witness said, Get out,
I won't tell" and the boys fed.
Slim also fed and has not been
seen since.
The witness said he then
walked into town and told the
first policeman he met what
had happened.
Later today police took him
back to the scene and he
pointed out where the bullet
fired near him plowed into a
pile of ashes in front of the
makeshift stove. Police began
to dig for the slug.
Police said that at the mo-
ment they had no reason to
doubt the witness story.
He shows no mark of the
knife because it had not been
heated enough to do any dam
age, police said he explained.
A police dog was brought to
the shooting scene and fol-
lowed a trail 600 yards to a

repeated several times and on
each occasion the dog lost the
trail at the road, leading police
to speculate the boys mad es-

ton workers, and employees in
such agencies as the FBI, Fed
eral Security Agency and Gen.
trail Intelligence Agency, whose
salaries are fixed administra-
lively.
Altogether about IT million
Federal and postal employees
would benefit from the raises,
including more than 100000 in
the Washington area.
The bill also would make per-
manent the rs per cent tenn
porary postal employe pay
raise of 1858.
The pay raises would range
up to $500 for those in top
grade l8. The present 1880
Classification Act pay ceiling
would be raised to SIG, 900.
CHANGE OF HEART-Par-
adoxically enough, the House
committees decision to vote a
9 per cent pay raise instead of
the rs per cent figure it had
been expected to vote. was a
disappointment to most Federal
employe leaders. They feel
that the rs per cent figure is
a much more realistic one and
has a better chance of becom-
ing law.
However, between Tuesday
moon, when the committee had
more or less agreed to vote for
the rs per cent figure the fol-
lowing day, and the time Of
the meeting, officials of the
big AFL-CIO postal employe
unions contacted committee
members and urged them to
vote for the 9 per cent figure.
William c. Doherty and Je-
rome Keating, president and
vice president, respectively, of
the National Association Of
Letter Carriers, we're the prime
movers to get the 9 per cent
figure. They say 9 per cent
raise is more than justified,
and express confidence that
Congress will be Just as likely
to override a 9 per cent veto
as a rs per cent veto.
| However. most other union
leaders feel the rs per cent
figure is more realistic. Let
ter carrier officials point out,
however, that postal and Fed
eral workers two years ago re-
ceived a 10 per cent raise when
very few thought the increase
would be more than 6 or 7 per
cent.

ployes can expect this year,
The chances Of a postal and
Federal pay raise boil down to
one factor: Win Congress be
able to override a presidential
veto?
It's virtually certain that
President Eisenhower will veto
a pay-raise bill, no matter what
the amount.
The consensus seems to be
that there is a good chance Of
Congress overriding a veto If
the raise is not more than rs
per cent.
But the chances appear to be
slim that a 9 per cent pay-raise
veto could be overridden.
Although the Democrats
have substantial margins in
the House and Senate, they
fall considerably short of the
two-thirds margin needed to
override a veto.
Thus the votes of a consider
able number of Republican
members would be needed.
A number of Republicans
have said privately they are
ready to vote to override if the
pay raise bill is modest one,
But they hesitate to vote to
override the President on a 8
per cent raise.
The 8 per cent bill would
cost 1910 million a year, and
many a member of Congress
would hesitate to face his con-
stituents if he voted to over
ride the President on a bill
involving a sum of that magni-
tude.
A rs per cent pay raise bill
would cost $675 million a year
MODIFICATION-Thus there
Is a good chance that before
Congress finally approves a
Federal pay raise this year
and approval by Congress is
certain-the figure will be
trimmed down to about rs per
cent.
Meanwhile, the next move in
the 8 per cent bills progress is
to secure clearance by the
House Rules Committee for
House action.
The Rules group is a con-
servative one and there may be
some delay there, although
eventually a bill will be brought
to the House floor.
The Senate Civil Service
Committee is holding hearings
on Federal and postal employe
pay raise legislation and ex-
poets to wind up within the
next 10 days.
There is a good chance that
the Senate committee will
modify the pay raise amount
to rs per cent after the meas
ure is approved by the House.
DETAILS - Here are the
details of the 9 per cent pay
raise bill which was approved
by the House Civil Service
Committee by a vote of Is to 4.
The four dissenters included
Chairman Murray and Repre-
sentative ReeS, Republican Of
Kansas, the groups ranking
minority member.
The bill provides a fiat 9
per cent increase for all CLASH
fled and postal workers. For
postal workers in the first three
salary levels, the bill provides a
minimum $3.50 raise. This $3.50
minimum, however, does not
