IN an executive session at
tended by welfare officials and
District Commissioner John B.
Duncan.
According to one source, Sem
ator Byrd criticized District
officials on four points:
Hiring only one Of Is addi-
tional child welfare workers for
which Congress had provided
funds; hiring only seven of 81
clerical workers also provided
for; failing to transfer other
welfare personnel to work on
foster homes, and failure to
expedite construction on new
cottages for housing children
at Junior Village.
Senator Byrd said that Con-
gress had responded to the plea
of the Welfare Department for
more funds and personnel, and
these we're not being used.
Payments Increased
According to the source, the
Senator said that requirements
for foster homes had not been
relaxed. And, he added, II pay
ments are still too low to at
tract sufficient numbers of
foster homes, an increase
should be sought from Con-
gress. Congress recently pro-
vided for a monthly addition
from $50 to $57 per child to
foster homes.
The source said that Senator
Byrd claimed the overload of
children-some TOO in an area
designed for 320-is not due
primarily to the purge of city
relief rolls which he ordered.
He blamed the increase on the
Welfare Department, saying it
had moved too slowly.
Mr.. Snea countered that the
department is trying every
means to find additional foster
families.
Recently, he said. the de-
partment met with church
leaders in predomniantly Negro
areas to enlist their aid. About
30 per cent Of the children ir

Mr.. Shea said he also has me

effort to utilize every possibll
media to publicize the need.
Contracting Retired Workers
On the question of increasing
personnel, Mr.. Shea said he was
Contracting every person OF
agency that has ever done work
/ for the Welfare Department
including retired personnel" to
persuade them to return.
: AS for clerical personnel, he
said that every Government
agency was having difficulty
finding such help.
They have to pass the Civil
Service exam" he said, land 1t

WE KNOW LITTLE Of DR..
Coeswell, only that he was
Influential In the temper
anee movement. We know,
too, that he gave a statue Of
himself TO San Francisco
which later was pulled down
one midnight, by a group Of
INDIGNANT artists, concerned
withithe beauty Of their city.
One of the unusual things
about the monument is that
1t once made more sense
than II does today. There
was an artesian well under
meath and water came out Of
the fish. People used TO stop
and drink there from q tin
cup. In those days, the stork
was probably taken TO be
a tiamingo. Symbols do
change.
But today the water flows
elsewhere and, as we have
tried TO indicate, mystery
wraps the masterpiece.
Now, as you will note on
yohr program, we are to
meet later this evening at
the monument 10 temper
ance, faith, hope, charity
and DR.. Henry d. Cogswell.
Midnight has been suggested.
You will find punch,
cookies, crowbars and ropes

Good evening.
Supreme achievements in

For centuries, people have
wondered what the arms OF

destroyed what the sculptor
had captured. Also, who can
say the sculptor did not re-

Winged Victory is headless.
Now, in Washington the
beet example Of what we
shall call the use of the queS-
ton mark in art can be found
in the priceless monument
to temperance, faith, hope,
charity, and DR.. Henry D.
Cogswell, located at Penn
sylvania avenue and Seventh
street NV.
AS it stands today, 1t is
virtually impossible to tell
why it Is there or whether it
ought'a be. It Immediately
raises several questions, from
any angle, and these, taken
together, create the neces-
sary mystery. Briefly, then,
what is it?
Perhaps it would be best,
now to turn to a description
of the object.

Maryland chonoe
Seen Unlikely in
Next Session
BY PAUL HOPE
p Star staff writer

BALTIMORE. Dec. l9.-The
possibility of q permanent re-
apportionment Of legislative
seats being carried out at the
1853 session of the Maryland
General Assembly dimmed TO-
day after a study commission
said 1t needed more time to
make recommendations.
The commission. which was
scheduled to report to the
Assembly session next month,
voted unanimously last night to
ask Gov. Tawes for . years
delay. 49,
The commissions job is to
recommend q permanent reap
portionment plan to replace the
|stop-gap measure enacted by
the Assembly at q special ses-
sion last May. The .stop.gap
plan gave 10 more members In
the House Of Delegates to the
four suburban counties and
Baltimore City. re
A delay In filing the commits
sion report was proposed by
House member Ridgely p. Mel
win, Democrat Of Anne Arundel,
who did not run for reelection.
Court Action Awaited u
Mr.. Melvin said that within
the next year, the Supreme
Court may lay down some
guidelines for reapportioning
State legislative bodies. He said
that the commission would be
in q better position to recon.
mend q bill that will stand up
In court II 1t waits for the Su-
preme Court to act on several
pending reapportionment cases.
He also said there is no hurry
since the permanent plan, which
would be in the form Of q con-
stitutional amendment, could
not be. submitted to the voters
until 1854.
Without q recommendation
from the commission. 1t seems
unlikely that the General As.
sembly win act on the contro-
versial issue at its coming 90
day session. It was at the As
Sembly's instruction that the
commission was appointed by
Gov. Tawes.
The move for q DELAY was
greeted with relief from Royce
Hanson, president Of the Mary
land Committee for Fair Rep
resentation which has led the
court fight to give the big coun-
ties more voice In the State
government. Mr.. Hanson, n
member Of the Governors COM
mission, found himself On, the
losing end IN most Of the major
decisions made by the commits.
sion 50 far.
Last night the commission
voted, over Mr.. Hanson's OBJ
jections, not to 60 into reap
portionment Of State Senate
seats.
State Senator H. winship
Wheatley made the motion to
stay out Of the Senate contro-
versy on the grounds that the
Governors directive to the com.
mission limited It TO considera-
ton Of q permanent plan for
the House.

For Shipment

WASHINGTON (JTA)-Ambass-
ador John Kenneth Galbraith, act
ing on the request of the White
House, has persuaded Prime Mini
ster Nehru of India to order the
release of 300 Ancient Torah
scrolls, for which export licenses
had previously been denied.
Indian authorities had refused
to allow exports on scrolls, citing
restrictions on export of silver"
The scrolls are encaSed in ornate,
vertical silver containers. They
were used by former Jewish COM
munities of Calcutta, since dispers-
ed to Israel and elsewhere. The
National Council of Young Israel,
in New York, learned of the pres
ence of the unused scrolls and the
White House alerted Ambassador
Galbraith.
The Indian Ministry of Finance
instructed the chief controller Of
imports and exports and the Re
serve Bank of India to release and
allow the export of the scrolls -
silver and all. The National Coun-
Gil of Young Israel is arranging
shipment. The scrolls will be dis
tributed to various SynagogueS

Labor Shortage
Noted Despite
Population Rise

JERUSALEM (JTA) - Israel's
recent immigration increases have
created a labor shortage, instead
of the feared unemployment, the
Bank of Israel reported in an eco
nomic survey. In the current full
employment labor market, the sur
vey showed, newcomers are not
only absorbed readily, but their ad-
dition to the population creates
higher demands for goods n d
services, thus causing a labor
shortage.
One result of this trend, the bank
stated, was that production for the
domestic market had become more
attractive than production for ex-
port. This fact, the bank warned,
may defeat the governments m
: to promote exports. The report ad-
vocated the imposition of higher
taxes on large incomes and the ap-
plication of certain monetary re-

President,

American Jewish Congress
The Jewish New Year comes as
a perennial reminder of the unique
ness of the Jewish people = its
special beliefs, it's traditional prac-
tees, its particular heritage. AS we
pray to our Creator, the God of
Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, we
utter the verses venerated by the
generations that have come be-
fore; as we stand in our houses
of worship, we read the Holy Word
as it is prescribed in our tradi-
tionS.
But if the form and context of
our worship are our own, let it be
noted that we pray not merely for
ourselves.
AS AMERICANS, we pray for
the preservation of the freedoms
that have made our nation great
and our people strong, chief among
them religious liberty and separa-
ton of church and state, the very
cornerstone of the American de-
mocracy. We commit ourselves as
well to the cause of millions of our
fellow-citizens who await with
growing impatience the day when
the promise of social justice in
herent in the American dream is
translated into the reality of equal
opportunity in housing, in educa-
ton, in employment.
AS Jews, we pledge our support
of the heroic struggle for peace
and security being waged by the
people of Israel. We extend our
hand in comradeship to our breth-
rem overseas, in the countries of
Eastern Europe, who have been
cut off from contact with us, and
to those in lands torn by civil
strife who have become the object
of violence and attack.
AT HOME, we dedicate ourselves
to achieve a renaissance of Jewish
learning, so that our rich heritage
of Jewish values may serve as an
enriching and ennobling influence
in our daily lives.

Two Groups
Cancel Joint
Fund Efforts

NEW YORK (JTA)-The Ameri-
can Jewish Committee and the
Anti-Defamation League of B'nal
Birth confirmed this week reports
that they had decided to dissolve
the Joint Defense Appeal, the r
Joint Embarrassing agency.
The dissolution will take effect
Dec. 81 and the two Jewish COM
munal agencies will embark on
separate Embarrassing campaigns
starting in 1868.
THE DECISION was made after
the two organizations failed to
agree on the question of distribu-
ton of the funds collected by the
IDA which has conducted M
paigns for the past 81 years. Each
organization received an estimated
81, 900, 900 annually.
The American Jewish Committee
contended it needed supplemental
funds to carry out its overseas ac-
tivities. apart from it's domestic
programs and it also insisted on
the right to conduct its own fund
raising as it said was done by
B'nai Birth, the parent body OF
the ADJ.
THE ADJ held that since the
IDA was the provider for most OF
the programs of both agencies, the
AJC proposals would create COM
petitive situation with the IDA.
The ADJ said it provided 5000, 900
each year from it's IDA income
to B'nai Birth youth services. The
B'nai Birth said that apart from
the So, 100000 from the IDA to the
ADJ, B'nai Birth raised SIS, 400, ,00C
of which only Is per cent came
from Jewish welfare funds.
