THE changing face of Southwest Washing
l. ton, remarkable as the metamorphoSis
has been, is no greater than the change that
has taken place over the last 60 odd years in
the buying and selling habits of District res
idents.
Take the simple, everyday act of buying
a quart or half gallon of milk Today. the Gus
toner either has his milk delivered at the
door, still cold and pasteurized, in an air
tight container or he buys it in supermarket
under the same sanitary conditions.
But in the years between 1890 and 1895,
before pasteurization, housewives received
milk in their own pans and pitchers and it
was measured out by the boys who made the
rounds in wagons carrying 50gallOn con-
tainers from door to door. One such dairy of
long ago was Thompson's (abOve), then To-
Gated at Sill Four and-a-half street S.W. The
street name later was changed to Fourth
street (Al JolsOn lived there as boy and the

Since the White House &C
quired new tenants and has
had a furnishings going
over, that old favorite, the
rocking chair, has come in
for considerable publicity
and a resurgence of popu-
larity.
And don't tell me that a
rocking chair has to look
modern, even II it's In mod
ern company. But it should
be one thing above all else:
comfortable.
And here's a hint on com.
fort in any upholstered
chair, rocking or four
square. Look for that amaz-
ingly resilient, sublimely
comfortable upholstery
cuShioning, "DACRON"*
polyester fiberfill. 1t has
built-in residence that
makes 1t fluff right back up
to its original shape-for a
continued look of newness.
It's lightweight, durable,
non -allergenic, needs no
care, resiSts moisture. Ideal
in every way!
For a closeup look at
some smart new furniture
featuring cushioning of
"Dacron", see one of Amer
ica's largest displays Of ex-
clusively modern and con-
temporary furniture at
Peerless Furniture Co, 819
Seventh st. NV, and 4433
Connecticut Ave.
And whether you go along
with the latest White House
trend-or prefer to chart
your own course-you won't
make a mistake when you
insist on the dependability
of "Dacron" flberflll.

The stables of the dairy plant in the 1905
were located in the rear Of the old building.
The milk was brought by wagon from farms
south of Alexandria, owned by Dan and Eg-
bert Thompson, and transshipped from Alex
andria to Washington on ferry The Th0mp-
sons had horse-drawn wagons which carried
cans like those on the porch. The delivery
men were all single country boys who lived
upstairs over the dairy with the Thompson
family.
The boys rose at midnight and worked
till the afternoon of the next day. Today, the
old plant is part of the Southwest redevelop
ment area and now is used as parking lot
In 1918, ThOmpsOn's moved to their 2O12

QUESTION:: Why do some
people have special spices for
the Sabbath?
ANSWER: The T a I'm u d
CShabbat 33b) tells of Rabbi
Simon and his son meeting an
old man who was carrying
two myrtle branches which
gave off sweet smelling arO-
ma for the Sabbath. Sephardic
communities are known to
have had special spices on the
Sabbath so that a Jew could
make an additional blessing
over them. This reflects the
general requirement to have
reasons for additional bene-
dictions on the Sabbath.

Justice For The 6 Million

Just like that ugly, ominous bird that
hovers over our desert the American
Council of Judaism, that much-Splintered
faction of American Judaism, waits un-
til it finds a soft spot to strike
The latest action of the ACJ is to make
public its opposition to the Eichmann
trial in Israel
Leaders of the ACJ proclaimed loud
and long for the American people to hear
that they wanted it known that Israel has
no right to speak for all Jews and thus
cannot try Eichmann for his crimes
against the Jews.
What a presumptious thing for an
American group to proclaim fat,
pampered American group which lives
and has lived in the comfortable security
that numbs the mind Yes, fat, pam
pered American group telling the Israelis
they have no right to try Eichmann
the Israeli Jews who still today bear on
their arms the tatooed numbers of the

ton camps.

resent the Jews of the world?

In matters that concern Jews, they most
certainly do. But in matters that concern
the government of the United States, the
acts of an American, or the acts of
Frenchman, Israeli Jews have no more
right to speak out than we do in govern
ment affairs of their country
Israel has right OF speak for the Jews

ASSHCJ,
On Sunday, September 8, 1861, Michael
Mitchell Allen 30-year-old, Philadelphia
born cantor, returned to his tent in the
encampment of "Cameron's Dragons"
a Union Army outfit known officially as
the 65th Regiment of the Fifth Pennsyl
vania Cavalry. 1t was cold day. Allen
rubbed his frozen hands, took up his pen
opened his diary and wrote:
AROSE at 51a am Very cool and
invigorating. Fast of Gedaliah.' Did
not fast, not feeling able to do so.
Had service at o'clock. Lectured on
Peace and Harmony All the officers
and companies were present under
command of Lieut.. Col. Becker and
they all in their uniform looked very
WE'LL
"Cameron'S Dragons" was regiment
recruited and organized by Jews. Its
commanding officer was Col. Max Fried
man, of Philadelphia. Most of the 1,2O0
men and officers were Jews. 1t was
named in honor of the Unions Secretary
of War, Simon Cameron. When the Ora
goons" went into encampment in Virginia,
IIcdI Wv IIlSy SlSCISU q Clldp-
lain-to serve the entire regiment, non
Jews and Jews alike. The chaplain was
Michael Mitchell Allen. He tried to teach
the soldiers a reasonable, ethical respect
and reverence for the Deity, obedience
to superiorS, lectured on the evils of camp
life, did not fear to mention such subjects
as sex and desertion, comported himself
as a man of God setting an example to
men of all religions.
Two weeks after Aliens Feast of Geda-
liah" entry in his diary, the encampment
was visited by a YMCA worker. He dis
covered that the Chaplain was a Jew He
was Mortified. He wrote to the very
Secretary of War in whose honor the
Dragons" were named. Secretary of
War Cameron passed the matter on to
George D. Ruggles, Assistant Adjutant
General of the Army. Ruggles issued an
order, stating:
ANY person mustered into service
as a chaplain who is not a regularly
ordained clergyman of Christian
denomination, will be at once dis
charged without pay or allowance"
an order would come forth after the
YMCA mans complaint, had already re-
signed by the time the Ruggles order had
come down through channels. His ex-
cuse: ell health" The courageous young
hazan from Philadelphia knew he had no
chance because, in fact, Congress had
closed the doors to any Jewish Chaplaincy
in the Union Army When Abe Lincoln's
Congress had passed the Volunteer Bill,
for raising the Union Army, that measure
included clause on Chaplains. But the
clause requiring the naming of regmental
chaplains stated clearly that such a chap
lain must be regularly ordained minis
ter of some Christian denomination"

different tack to get Jewish Chaplain.
Legally, Allen was unfit because he was
neither Christian nor an ordained clergy
man. COmplicating his case was the fact
that he had been commissioned an officer
by his regiment and, thereby subjected
to military discipline. Col. Friedman
selected as his regimental chaplain
Dutch-born preacher at Shearith Israel
Synagogue in New York-the Spanish
Portuguese Synagogue Rabbi Arnold
F'ischel Being a civilian, Rabbi Fischel
had to apply directly to the Secretary of
War for his commission. He did. Cam
eron turned him down. A campaign was
launched to amend the Volunteer Bill so
that Jewish chaplains would be permitted
to serve. --v
For the first time i'm it's history, the
Jewish community in the United States
had an issue on which it could take
common stand The Jew was a soldier,
the Jew was a taxpayer, the Jew was
officially a full citizen with full rights.
But chaplaincy in the very armed serV-
ices where Jews were fighting and dying
that was denied the American Jew by
Act of Congress-
The Jewish attitude on the issue was
firm fortnight and expressed both
loudly and with good logic. Unfortun-
ately, there was not yet unity in Jewish
organization. The Jewish press was
volube but not all of it's supported Rabbi
Fischel as the individual who put himself
out on a limb to make test case. Many
Jewish leaders derided the newly formed
Board of Delegates of American Israelites,
insisting that the Board was a narrow
group, not representative of the entire
Jewish community. But the Board went
ahead. 1t formally appointed Rabbi
Fischel as it's lobbyist in Washington to
work for revision of the Volunteer Bill.
Meanwhile, petitions flooded Washing
ton. And not only Jews signed those peti-
tions. In Baltimore alone, 700 Christians
signed a petition to Congress circulated
by a non-JeWish member of the Maryland
Legislature.
In Washington, FischeI presented his
arguments for a change in the law to
virtually every member of Lincoln's Cabi
net He was not given much encourage
Lincoln himself. On December 13, 1861,
a letter signed yours truly A. Lincoln"
was sent from the White House to "Rev.
Dr. A. Fischel." The letter read:
Il find there are several particulars
in which the present law in regard to
Chaplains is supposed to be deficient,
all of which l now design presenting
to the appropriate Committee of Con-
gress. I shall try to have law broad
enough to cover what is desired by
you in behalf of the IsraeliteS."
The President made good on his pledge.
1t took many more months, however, be-
fore the law was amended.
The back of officially sanctioned religi-
Gus discrimination in the United States
had been broken. Jews were eligible for
appointment as Chaplains if their quail
fications as rabbis were otherwise in
order.

Mark Twain said he didn't
believe there were only 10
million Jews in the world; he,
himself, he said, knew that
many.
That was intended of course
as humor. But the Arab mind
apparently will indulge in
such tales quite seriously.

MOST OF US know at
least one Arabic Word-haSh
iSh. It's the name of a drug
which gives release from all
the harsh aspects of reality
and transports us forthwith
into an illusory world of
bliss, where all things are as
we wish them-the Shangri
La of wish fulfillment.
1t is around Damascus and
Beirut and its enVironS that
hashiSh cultivation centerS.
There is type of journal
ism which might be described
as haShiSh also. For instance
last week an Arab newspaper
published in Jordan said that
the six million Jews who
were killed by the NaZiS were
actually not killed at all, but
secretly transported to Am
erica.
ALI BABI as in the Arab
tale just pronounced the
word, sesame" and 10, the
six million were whitfield off
across the ocean and didn't
even have to pass through
customs or the immigration
office.
It's a good story. Why both
er with facts if they are pain
full? Invent a good story.
All of us like good stories.
1 REMEMBER a Yiddish
story told shortly after the
first World War.
''Do you know that when
the Germans entered Valkov-
isk. thirty thousand German
troops stood in the Valkovis
ker synagogue?" But Val
kovisk isn't much bigger than
your arm," it was objected.
"FIoW could 10000 soldiers
crowd into it's SYnagOgue?"
"Seht ihr doch" well, you
SeeD was the answer.
I was reading the other day
a story in a Hebrew periOdi-
cal about a member of the
editorial staff of Haint, the
noted old Yiddish daily of
Warsaw of by-gone days. ct
must have been a great pa
per-they tell so many sto-
ries about it,
This particular story relat-
ed to a member of the staff,
Mandel, who had a great way
of fabricating stories. One
day, he appeared in the edi-
torial sanctum telling about
a phenomenal cat he had
seen, which looked like a Pi-
casso picture. It had three
eyes in its forehead and an
eye in its tail.
"You know you didn't see
any such cat" said a col
league.
mo" said Mandel, "but go
out quickly in the backyard
and you will see it"

air and to award the stations
channel to another firm, the
Federal Communications Com
mission says.
The explanation came with
release yesterday of the FCC'S
formal opinion in the case,
The FEC last Friday issued
"a bare announcement that il
had voted, 4-2, to order CroS-
ley BroadcaSting Corps S station
.WLWI off Channel IS by No
vember 80. and had awarded
the channel to WIBC. Inc.
This action was taken after
a court-directed review Of the
original 1857 award to CroSley
Appealed Decision
WIBC. one of the unSuccess-
full applicants at the time OF
the original award, had ap-
.pealed the 1857 FEC decision
on grounds that a commission
member had formerly been en-
.ployed by one of the other un-
successful applicants and that
he voted on the award with
out having heard full argu-
ment of the case.
The court ordered the COM
mission to rehear the case only
on the second of these points
1t made no observation on the
point involving the former en-
ployment of the commissioner.
The commissioner, T. A. NJ,
Craven, voted in the original
award only to break a 3-S tie.
He did this after the commits
sion's general counsel advised
him it was his duty to partici-
pate in the final vote, but
voted against the firm which
had formerly employed him as
a radio engineering consultant,
Explains Reversal
In explaining its reversal OF
the 1857 award. the FEC said
both CroSley and WIBC, Inc,
had several qualifications to
operate a television station.
But it noted that CroSley al
ready operates stations in Gin
cinnati, Dayton. and Columbus
Ohio.
WIBC has a radio station in
indianapolis and the family OF
its president, Richard M. Fair
banks, owns an interest in the
firm publishing the Indianap-
oils Star and News, the FEC
noted.
The commission said it felt
that operation of Channel 13
by WIBC, Inc, would better
promote "the diversity of news
dissemination and of program
and service viewpoints 1t con-
cluded that the Crosley firms
area of concentration of
broadcast interests outweighS
in adverse comparative effect
the local concentration OF
WIBC."
Although Crosley had more
broadcast experience and a bet
ter past broadcast record, the
FEC said, this was outweighed
by WHO'S local residence OF
ownership, superiority in in
tegration of ownership wit h
management, and its signifi-
cant preference in diversified
ton of the media of mass
communications"
