 WASHINGTON tR - The in- escapable conclusion from history is that man throughout most of it has acted like a bird-brain He used reason 10 philosophize but fulfilled his ambitions by=in= Vasion and settled his dilemmas with weapons.
 The Egyptians, the Hyksos, the ] Babylonians, the Sumerians, the Dorians, the Aeheans,= Cartha- ginians, the Romans, the Goths and Visigoths and Ostrogoths, the Huns, the Vandals, the Moslens, the Christians, the Jews they sought solutions in battle.
 Now al last. With weapons so powerful they can wipe one an- other out at long range, mon are beginning to show some restraint although il may not last, and in the restraint have d sense of bal fiement.
 The Red Chinese ache 10 take over Southeast Asia but hesitate because it's this country, not theirs, Whieh. has nuelear bombs, dis efstien they nay discard when they have bombs, too ZIn e=I94as,= when this country had a monopoly on the atom bomb, Russia discouraged from pushing its luck in Greece and Turkey.
 Not Reason but Fear
 Since Russian Communism is erusading philosophy there is only one explanation for it's retieenee about sobhlihs up Europe: Not reason but fear that invasion means War and in =nuelear= war t5zere may be only the dead and no winner
 Fear of that same kind of war is the only explanation for the self-eoatrol the West exhibited when the Russians threw up the Berlin Wall, a risk the Russians took and one the West was un- wiling to take by smashing the wall, now that the Russians have nuclear force.
 Now Communism is encamped in Cuba, Russia pumps in men and supplies, outraged Americans in Congress, forgetting American outrage in this country when India invaded tiny Goa last year, called for invading Cuba
 Try it. the Russians said, and it means war.
 President Kennedy did his best to chill such martial ardor and the overwhelming majority in the Senate contented themselves with a resolution warning Communism not to push beyond the shores of Cuba, or else.
 Monroe Doctrine
 The resolution called the Mon roe Doctrine with it's warning to European powers to stay out of the Western Hemisphere while overlooking another promise in doctrine laid down by President Monroe: That the United States would stay out of Europe's affairs.
 It hasn't, either in two World Wars or since. The United States has been very deeply involved in Europe's affairs, first with arms and then with men, since President Truman with his doc trlne revised the Monroe Doctrine by assuming American responsi- blllty for stopping Communism in Europe.
 If tomorrow the United States went back to the Monroe Doc Urine by pulling men out of Flu rope, which it won't, and in return expected Europe, meaning Russia, to stay out of this hemisphere, there's no reason to think Russia Would-and it would probably be fatal to think so.

IN A SUPPLEMEN N T

IN A SUPPL f Nj f N T
Pierre Aubery gives his view
of American JeWry and, al
though his viewpoints do not
appear to have full COM
mand of the picture, here are
some of his comments for
your reading interest. This
is how others look at us:
although they have little
esteem for Yiddish culture
and Jewish intellectualism
and are removed from tradi-
tional religion as practiced
in Eastern and Central Eur
ope, their purely American
way of life contains many
basic Jewish elements.
Their Jewishness is more
a question of sensibility and
circumstances; enhanced by
still Il tie mt anti-SemitiSm,
rather than a matter of in
ner conviction, it gives them
a sentiment of collective Sc
curity and belonging
THE synagogue, emptied
to a large extent of its re-
ligious and spiritual signifi-
cance, has become the cen
ter of communal, cultural
and social activities
Outside their homes. Am
erica's Jews mix we'll and
have become fully integrated
in the country's business life
nevertheless, practically
none has acquired a top posi-
ton in heavy industry, bank
ing or Wall Street finance . =.
"In their private lives, they
have not managed, however,
to integrate into their social
class Their social activi-
ties are thus confined to
their own community :"
And in conclusion the
French-Canadian writer says:
g. should there arise a
new non-denominational So
cial class, which seems most
unlikely, American Judaism
would disappear"

Some of the prisoners of
war being held by Fidel
Castro in Cuba, as a result
of the anti-Castro invasion
of the island which failed
a year ago last April, are
Jews who are the sons of
parents who had fled from
Hitler, James B. Donovan,
the New York attorney try

1,10O prisoners, declared
here.
These Jewish boys, he
said, "are perhaps the sad

because their parents had
felt "the heel of a dictator

In most cases, he said, the
parents. had fled from Hit

Cuba to await immigration
into the United States, but

HOW Do OTHERS look at
us?
From France this week
comes a fascinating publica-
ton, "L'Arche," which turns
a finely-tuned radarscope on
the Jewish community of
America.
Written in French and for
the consumption of LES Juif
Franchises" the entire 178-
page magazine examines al
most every facet of Ameri-
can Judaism.
Michel Solomon, editor in
chief of the magazine, spent
a month in the United States
to collect material for the
special issue. He planned the
issue, he writes, that a study
of the methods and institu-
tons which contribute to-
wards the cohesion and dy-
namism of Judaism in Amer
lea might prove to be a
source of inspiration to the
Jewish com unity of
France"

among these the recent reclp-

Landau. 1t also noted that
Veniamin f. Dymshits, just
chosen head of the USSRs

Mr.. Dymshits holds the high
est post given to any Rus
sian Jew since Lazar M. ka-
ganovich was removed from

The author of the Moscow
News article was identified
as AVrom Gontar, a member
of the editorial board of So
vietisch H ei m "a n d, a bi-
monthly published in Moscow
in Yiddish. The article stated
that 427,OOO of the USSR's
2.26S.OOO Jews have higher
or secondary specialized edu-
cation" and "are employed in
various fields" The article
claimed that nearly 10 per
cent of Soviet writer's and
journalists are Jews, while
"more than 10 per cent OF
the lawyers are Jews"
According to the Moscow
News article, more than $500
Jews are deputies in local
governmental bodies, while
some are deputies in the ma

Ukraine, Byelorussia, Lithu-

rare article dealing with the
situation of Russian JeWry
that has appeared in the Mos

Appreciation For A Worthy Cause
Dear Bill, and staff;

Dear Bill, and staff;
 All too often most of us are prone to be a bit on the critical side over wide scope of issues, usually giving vent to our feelings without effort toward constructive suggestions or without making per Sonal action to help the situation or problem in question. Too often we fail to give credit where it is due, and do not let those around us know we appreciate what they do.
 We have all, at one time or au. other, sent donations and gifts to worthy causes and to persons whom we will never see nor meet, because we felt compelled to help in some manner.
 At this time of year when it is

The board chairman Of the
Pennsylvania Railroad testi-
fled today he and the president
Of the New York Central Rail-
road told three Interstate Com
merce Commission members
about plans to merge the two
lines before the proposal was
formally presented to the COM
mission.
James M. Symes made the
statement under croSs-exam-
ination before two examiners
of the ICC at hearing on the
merger plan.
Ms. Symes testified Friday
that he had met informally
with two ICC members. but he
did not name them at that
time.
Under questioning by Joseph
v. Gallagher, a Justice Depart
ment lawyer, he said today the
informal discussion was held
last year with New York Cen
tral President Alfred E. PERL
man, and ICC members Ken
nedy H. Tuggle, Donald P.
Mcpherson and John w. Bush.
AS he did Friday Mr.. SymeS
said there was nothing i'm
proper about the meeting, and
no attempt was made to in
fluence the commissioners in
advance of formal presentation
of the case.
He said the session was held
to inform the ICC that I'VE
had resumed merger discus
sions." He said reports to this
effect were being broadcast
all over the country" and the
two railroad chiefs felt they
should advise the commission
of the resumption.
Merger talks between the
Pennsylvania and Central were
undertaken in 1857. They were
broken off two years later after
q 13-month merger study.
