UN's New Leader

UNITED NATIONS, N. Y.-The man
designated for the highest post in the
United Nations Secretariat, U Thant of
Burma, faces, in some respects, the tough
est job as yet confronting any of the pre-
vious SecretariesGeneral here. For, on
one front, U Thant personally, as well as
his Government and his Prime Minister
U Nu, are committed. They are committed
to peace between the Arabs and Israel.
Not merely in the formal sense, but ac-
lively.
Both Trygve Lie and Dag Hammarsk-
jold, u NUS predecessors, worked for
peace in general which includes the Mid
die East But unlike the others, Thant
had spoken up on the Middle East issue,
not once but many times and he had
done so in the friendliest possible terms
as far as Israel is concerned.
U Nu and U Thant, as is we'll known,
had visited Israel in 1855 Later Burma
published book giving its evaluation
of Israel 1t was no secret that the book
had been written by U Thant-since he
had been press director for his govern
ment and, in 1855, secretary for projects
in the office of Prime Minister u Nu.
Just what Burma thinks of the posi-
bility of peace between the Arab states
and Israel has been spelled out many
times by both U Nu and U Thant. What
they want, first of ALL is Arab recognition
of Israel GAS long as our Arab friends
refuse to accept the fact of Israel" said
U Nu, "there can be no real progress
toward a solution. But once this fact is
accepted we feel that the principal psy
Geological barrier to a settlement will be
removed and the way opened to the
ending of the present deadlock"

Editorial Comment

Jewish Community Centers have be-
come so popular across the nation that
today they are being taken for granted.
Not so long ago Centers could be found
only in the larger cities. For many years
only the Young Mems Christian Associa-
ton served Tucson youth from the stand
point of public athletic facilities. 1t serv-
ed Tucson well and continues to do So
But in this growing community the
Tucson Jewish Community Center has
relieved the YMCA of part of its burden.
The Jewish Center has a program that
serves, not only the Jewish community,
but the entire community with myriad
services.
We'd like you to read some opinions of
the value of Jewish Centers from ma
tionaI leaders. For example:
ABRAHAM RIBICOFF, Secretary of
Health, Education and Welfare: Jewish
Community Centers provide significant
community service by helping people of
all ages to use their leisure hours con-
structively for their development as ac-

The author of this volume, entitled "Ju-

He believes that the break between Jews

And he calls upon Catholics to consider
the Jews as their "elder brothers" and to

that the Jews are still truly members of

is "the root from which Christianity

AS SOME of the readers of
this column may be aware, l
recently got out a book called
Hanukkah Latkes and Roths-
child'S Millions.
Naturally, 1 have been ask
ed, why l did it.
The uncle of Heine once
said of his famous nephew
that if he had learned a trade,
he wouldn't have to write
books.
That's one reason l sup
pose why people write books.
The Arizona post., 1961-11-24
SOME GOOD people hav

SOME GOOD people nave
written books and there are
some who have resisted the
temptation. I don't believe
that anyone should gloat over
the fact that he has not writ
ten a book. Remember, that
but for the grace of God, you
too may write one. 1t is a
commonplace that there is a
book in every man.
A famous rabbi was urged
to publish his sermons, but
rejected the idea.
"What will happen?" he
asked, eff I write a book?"
"Some good Jew after the
Sabbath kugel will pick it up
and proceed to fall asleep"
However, 1 must say this
does not apply in my case.
DR.. FIillel Seidman of the
Jewish Day-Morning Journal
told me that one night he
couldn't sleep. He lay tossing,
so he took up Hanukah Lat
kes and read it from cover to
cover. 1t interested him so, he
didn't mind not sleeping.
DR.. Seidman and others
have enjoyed Hanukkah Lat
kes, but 1 can't say that 1
haven't had some criticisms.
ONE MAN, and / must say
a person of considerable Jew
ish learning, challenged
. something 1 wrote in it. l
said that the name Adlal
stemmed from the Bible. He
didn't think so. Well, I was
right. 1t is found in Chroni-
cles, Chapter 27, verse %.
There we are told of the var
ious appointments made by
King David. 1t is quite an
interesting chapter despite
the fact that it is mostly
names. For instance, there is
mention of 1000 with in
struments to praise the
Lord" If you think the Phil
harmonic is some orchestra,
read this chapter.
After the part dealing with
the musicians, we are told of
other appointments. One man
to head the vineyards, anoth-
er the olive plantations and
then towards the bottom, we
come to the passage, GAS the
keeper of the herds of the
valley, Shafat the son OF
Adlai."
l DON'T know whether
this has any symbolic refer
ence to the United Nations,
although they are pretty
much in the valley just now
and most of us hope with
possibly Adlai's help, it will
get out of the rut.
The Hebrew name Adlai is
defined variously. In one
place, "the justice of God"
and elsewhere l have seen it
defined as my ornament"
Hanukkah LatkeS was also
criticized by several people
for its inclusion of a piece on
Jewish swearing. These good
people thought 1 should not
have dealt with profanity. Ac-
tually, however, 1 wasn't par
ticularly concerned with that
aspect. 1 was interested in
swearing as an art and wish
ed to show it's cultural and
even religious overtones. For
instance, the curse usually
reserved for the bitter anti
Semitic, MAY he lose all of
his teeth save one for tooth
ache" has an element of
Jewish compassion in it.
l trust no one will get the
idea that this is intended as
a plug for my book. That
would be unethical. The price

OKLAHOMA CITY, Feb. ls
(AP). Winter tornadoes

The twister was sighted first

When hearings resume Mon
day and Tuesday, the Subcom-
mittee will hear business groups
attacking the administration

Retailers and many other buSi-
nessmen contend the proposed

extension of coverage would

Although Mr.. Powell said
consideration of the legislation

anticipated, Mr.. Roosevelt told

President Kennedy has pro-
posed raising the minimum for
"a million workers who now
are covered from 81 an hour
to $1.15 four months after
enactment of the legislation,
to $1.20 one year later and to
SIPS one year after that.
He also has proposed extern
sion of coverage to about 4.3
million Of the 20 million workers
who now are excluded. They
would start with a minimum
wage of 81 an hour and rise
in annual steps to $1.05, $l.15
and $1.25. Their work week
would decline gradually to 40
hours.
Mr.. Powell and William F.
Schnitzler, secretary-treasurer
Of the AFL-CIO, said the min
imum for workers now covered
should be increased immedi-
ately to $l.25 an hour.
They also called for broader
extension Of coverage than the
administration proposes. Mr..
Schnitzler said So million
workers should be brought
under the laws protection,
including hotel and restaurant
workers, who would be excluded
by the administration bill.
Mr.. Goldberg said the ad-
ministration bill is a key part
of the Presidents anti-reces-
sion program, because 1t would
build up purchasing power. Mr..
Schnitzler used the same argu-
ment, but said the more gen.
erous provisions favored by
the AFL-CIO would be even
more helpful in combating the
recession because they would
give workers bigger pay raises.

Grain G Support
Plan Assai|ed

KANSAS CITY, Feb. 10 (AP)
President Kennedy's proposed
price support increase for 1861
feed grains was criticized yes
tetday by members Of the Mid
west largest grain exchanges.
Seven officials of the Chicago
Board Of Trade, the Mime
apolis Grain Exchange and the
Kansas City Board, meeting
here, said in a statement that
the plan has every appearance
Of socialized control. No part
Of the plan provides for the
operation Of q free market. "
President Kennedy proposed
a program that would raise
price supports from corn to
$1.20 q bushel and $3.50 for
is $1.06 q bushel for corn
and $1.85 for soybeans.
Farmers must voluntarily cut
back feed grain acreage by 20
to 40 per cent in order to qualify
for the payments.
The grain men said the Gov
eminent should consult the
grain trade for proper handling
Of such q program and they
are willing to cooperate, but
this cannot be done In the
apparent scope Of the an
nounced program"
James P. Reichmann, chair
man Of the Chicago Board, said
"the Government viii be the
buyer from the farmer and
seller to the consumer and will
replace private trade. The law
would establish a complete
police state in agriculture, re-
sulting in the consumers having
to pay more for food and meat" I"

dent Of the Chicago Board.
said "the most efficient method
to- increase farm income is
through o system Of limited
cash payments to producers. "
Others at the meeting in
cluded e. E. Quinn, president
Of the Minneapolis Exchange,

Mr.. Quin ncalled the pro-
gram a throttle on private
enterprise.
