A petition to repeal the personal property tax was read before the Council at it's meeting Thursday. The petition asks one cent in- crease in the sales tax be Substi- tuted.
 A letter endorsing the idea from pr. Bob Johnson, president of the Chamber of Commerce, also was read.
 A discussion arose as to whether the City could legally abolish the business personal property tax, or whether the adoption of the pro- posal would apply only to personal effects. This is to be studied by the City Attorney and an opinion given at the next Council meeting.

Council Approves School Budget

The school budget was unani- mously approved by the City Coun- cil Thursday evening, following an explanation of the increases asked for, by Ivor Schott, Superintendent of Schools.
 The increases, MT. Schott stated, are largely for instruction. The in- crease is due in part to raising of teachers salaries, and due also to an increase in enrolment. He pointed out that the enrolment last year was the largest in the his tory of the school. This, he said necessitates holding classes in the downtown school next year, since a 6 per cent increase in enrolment is expected.
 An interesting point was brought out in the discussion in that Fed eral government employment has decreased in the area, and the in- creases in enrolment are due mainly to local conditions.
 In other actions taken, the Coun- cil voted to purchase Miller Pt land from the Bureau of Land Management for a sum of approxi- mately $1,000. This comprises 377.26 acres, and will be set for recreational purposes.
 City Manager Bill Poland gave report on the proposed street inn provements. He suggested the City go ahead with the preliminary work, setting up of the plant, etc., and complete short stretches of roads this summer
 Jim Barr, City Engineer, pro- duced drawings and outlined the work necessary to be done in pav- ing a block long stretch on Bensen Ave. from Resanof north; Mill Bay Road from Kashevaroff to Resan- of; and Mission Road from below Kashevaroff to Tagura Rd.
 Easement agreements will have ito be worked out with the Russian Church on the Mission Road stretch; there are several encroach- ments, such as fences and walls on the Mill Bay stretch also, Barr said.
 The proposed roads will be 30 feet wide, it was said Cost for grading, sidewalks, curbs where necessary and paving will cost ap- proximately $62,3OO. The Council voted to go ahead with the projects.
 The Council also voted to repair a small area of road adjacent to D & A mems furnishing which is badly in need of repair.

The Supreme Court, by its decision,
showed a recognition only for the Chris
tan Sabbath and not for the Jewish Sab
bath or the Sabbath of the Seventh Day
Adventists and other religious groups
The United States was built on the
principle of religious freedom. It's first
settlers were refugees from religious per-
secution. The United States of America
was not established by any one religious
group.
The 5-4 decision of the Supreme Court
in the Blue Sky case should not be regard

Christian RevuIuotion Urged

only a searching examination OF church
school texts, but also other measures to
serve as a program basis for reforming
Christian education concerning the Jews.
He believes that Christian education
should state explicitly that Jesus was
Jew. practiced the essentials of Judaism
to his last day, and that all the apostles
were Jews.
He suggests that Christian education
should refrain from the traditional and
current affirmative that the Jewish peo-
pie had committed the crime of decide.
He urges that all Christians should be
given an elementary knowledge of the Old
Testament and should be reminded that
large part of the Christian liturgy is bor-
rowed from the Old Testament.
The National Conference of Christians
and Jews, in disseminating these recon-
mendations draws attention to the fact
that some Protestant and Catholic church
leaders in this country have long realized
that church school texts serve indirectly
as an influence against Jews.

abuse of a visa issued to Adolf Eich-

Nicolas Eichmann is in Washington. He

He told the Washington press that his
father had Saved the Jews who are now
living very healthy, very rich, maybe.
Will they testify? No, no, you can't get
this out of a Jew . Jews don't behave
like citizens in America
The announced purpose of the Eich-
mann visit is to write book and propa-
gandize on behalf of his father. Yet visa
regulations require visitors to refrain
from any activities prejudicial to the ma
tional interest or injurious to American
foreign relations.
The State Department sought to justify
the visa. Officials stressed that 25-year-

American hospitality was extended to
Nicolas Eichmann at time when the
State Department boycotted the Eichmann
trial by refusal to send an official diplo-
matte observer. With one other exception
(England) all nations with embassies in
Israel sent observers to the trial.
An inquiry by this correspondent as
certained that the State Department was
aware of Nicolas Eichmann's anti-Semitic
and pro-Nazi line. Yet the Department
piously espoused ''free speech and free
press" considerations. This contrasted
with the Departments attitude toward
such freedoms during the recent Cuban
fiasco

responsible for the murder of 10000 Yugo-

Artukovic is today living luxuriously in

Editorial Comment:

By narrow decision the United States
Supreme Court has dealt a severe blow TO
religious freedom in this country.
The Supreme Justices upheld the va
lidity of the Blue Laws which ban the
opening of stores on Sunday.
American Jewish organizations sought
to have the Blue Laws scrapped because
they work hardship on Jewish merchants
who are observant. Observant jewish
merchants sought permission to open their
stores on Sundays and remain closed on
SATURDAYS. Most of the merchants con-
cerned with the case have businesses TO-
Gated in Pennsylvania where the Blue
Laws are stringently observed.

AND THAT is not the
whole story of how the
horses covered the Jews with
glory at this race.
Everyone was of course eX-
pecting Carry Back to run
away with the laurels. Carry
Back has been the great SEN
sation of the year. 1t had
won the Kentucky Derby and
then gone off to California
to win the PreakneSs. 1t
seemed likely to win the
Triple Crown at Belmont,
paralleling the great feat of
Citation in 1913.
President Eisenhower put
his money on Carry Back and
it seems from the newspaper
accounts that he had the adj
vice of such race horse fans
as John Hay Whitney and
Bernard Baruch.
And Carry Back, too, was
the horse of a Jew, Jack
Price. But Carry Back only
came in seventh.
Q Q .
ALL OF THIS is of course
something very new in Jew
ish history. In the Bible,
there is mentioned one, Jehu,
whose name became famous
as a fast driver, but there is
no mention of him winning
any races. The Chelm folk
tales which have delighted
Jews for so many genera
tions, have q lot of stories
about horses. 1 recall one
vaguely of a horse which was
supposed to spit out dollar
bills. But no Chelm horse
ever paid off $132 for $500 as
Sherlock did.
We Jews in the long run
have liked to boast of our in
tellectually great, but now it
seems the fast run may be-
come our pride.
Oh well, 1 suppose we new
er were so much the intellect
lovers we supposed. I was
reading the other day in a
Hebrew periodical published
in Israel the story of a man
who went to a department
store to buy a Bar MitZvah
present.
THE SALESMAN took him
to the book department and
showed him all kinds of
books. The man looked over
enc and another book and fl
nally said, mo, l think I'll

vah!" exclaimed the sales
man.
'Well, you see," said the
man, Il am afraid he would

1t was a great horse race!
And a great day for the
Jewish race!
Of course, l mean what
took place at the Belmont
track last weekend.
"Sherluck, $132.1O, Takes
Belmont: Carry Back 7th"
was the headline running
across the New York Times.
1 suppose almost every paper
in the country carried a SINH
lar headline. And probably
40 million people watched it
on television.
And former President Eli
senhoWer was there. Accord
ing to The New York Times,
this was the first time since
Andrew Jackson that a PreSi-
dent of the United States
visited a race track. George
Washington, T e Tim e S
pointed out, was very fond
of horses, but so far as we
know, never went to a horse
race.
And a Jewish horse won!
