yeys the best OF GODS blessing,
Question: please give me
some information about the
Amish people. their origin, be-
liefs and manner of living"
Answer; The Amish people
are very devout members of
one branch of the Mennonites.
The name Mennonite comes
from Memo Simons (1496-
1851, a former Roman Catho-
lie priest who became an Ana
baptist in the Netherlands,
The movement spread widely
In Germany and Switzerland.
There are IA different Mem
MONTE groups in the United
States. Two Of them are known
as Amish. There is the Con-
sentative Anisn Mennonite
Church which was originated
I'M Michigan In 1910 and the
Old Order Amish Mennonite
Church which dates back to
about 1865.
Il Members of the Amish
Church hold to the old pat
terms Of worship and dress.
They worship in private homes
and do not believe in missions
nor in modern mechanical de-
vices. They live primarily by
agriculture.
The word, "Amish," is taken,
from the name Of Jacob AM
mana, who was an Alsatian

tiiry.
Question: II understand that
in the Jewish religion, when a
member of the family dies, no
immediate relative visits the
grave from the day of burial
until one year later for the
unwilling ceremony. Why do
they wait one year? How did
this originator"
Answer: There is no law
which says there must be such
a waiting period Of one year.
However, 1T is the custom. The
devout Jew believes that the
reason for visiting the grave
OF. loved one is to arouse ten
der memories. For the first
year after death the memory
remains alive and the presence
at the grave is not necessary.
p This is the reason for wait
ing a year before erecting the
memorial stone. At the ami
'versary Of death the close rela-

and then not again.

Soviets Hike
 Consumer Prices On Meat and Butter
By Preston Grover

MOSCOW dR The Soviet Union today hiked consumer prices of meat and butter to f. nance the country's tagging agri- cultural program in the face of food shortages.
 Butter n up 25 per cent will cost $1.83 a pound; pork and beef
 up 30 per cent will retail for 88 cents a pound.
 The effect of the increases are measured against salaries much lower than those in most foreign countries. A semi-slxilled Soviet worker gets the equivalent of $88 month, professional and semi professional people about $222 a month.
 The government announcement said that the increased charges were necessary because there was no other means of raising money to pay the increased expenses on farms.
 Blame was placed III part upon the United States. The statement said it was not possible te switch funds to increasing the output of livestock products at the expense of the country's defensive capacity. We do not live in vacuum While imperialism exists, the dan. ger of new wars will remain. | l is no secret that international re acton, wIIn united States at tn, head, now is engaged in sabr' rattling, conducts a feverish arrn
 race and harbors plans for 3 sur prise rocket nuclear attack on tn USSR and the other socialist coun tries. Its politicians and general speak openly of this. l"
 The announcement made it blair that people in the cities are going to bear the lions share of the bur- den of the increased prices. That will tend to level out the living standards of the city and country groups. Normally city people have lived better in the Soviet Union because of a sharp salary and ir- come advantage accorded them from the time of the revolution.

MOSCOW tRl - Benny Goodman blew his black clarinet under the walls of the Kren1in today in one of the wierdest jazz sessions Red Square has ever seen - if not the first.
 Goodman lifted his trumpet in the air near the candy twist turrets of St. Basils Cathedral and played Yankee Doodle Dandyn He was a long way from Lenin's Tomb, which also is in the square, so 300 or 400 Moscovites clustered around didn't take it aEaiss.
 He then played Midnight in Moscow" known in these parts as Moscow Evening"
 At that moment trio of guards who had been relieved of their turn at watching over the Lenin Tomb, marched past As they turn ed into the Krernlin gate, Goodman played little melody know as Pop Goes the Weasel
 It was all part of day in which the American jazzman promised to join Russian jazzmen in jan session when he returns to Mos cow early in July after a tour O the provinces.
 Goodman also got a promis' from one of the Soviet Union lead ing composers, Ararn x<ssssG&ehatur van, to do piece for the Good

Eiclllnann Pays X or His Crimes
 On the GalIows
By Garven Eiuigius

TEL AVIV. Israel tR, De- liant to the end, Adolf Eichmann walked firmly to the gallows last night and paid with his life for his role in Nazi Germany's systematic extermination of million Eu- ropean Jews.
 The young state of Israel hanged the former Gestapo colonel at two minutes before midnight on an irnprovised scaffold in a third story storeroom of Rannleh prison near Tel Aviv
 It was the first execution in the 14-year history of this Jewish na- ton which counts among it's citi- zens thousands of relatives of Jews whom Eichmann, 56, helped speed to death in Hitler's gas chambers.
 Eichmann's body was cremated quickly and the ashes scattered upon the waters of the Mediter- ranean.
 Eichnaaas1E was cool and unre- pentant as this Jewish nation car ried to conclusion it's announced determination to record the his- tory of the Nazi program and mete out justice in the name of all Jews
 A faint smile on his face, Eich- mann spurned the traditional black hood and even chided his jailers for making 1t difficult for him to stand on the galIows trap door.
 My belief was correct, the former head of the Gestapo Jewish Affairs Section declared. q had to oibcy ti the rules Of war and my flag. am ready"
 At command from an Israeli guard, Eichrnann stepped to the trap door and lurlged to his death almost in single motion.
 Death was instant prison officials said.
 Eichmann was condemned to death last December by special three judge tribunal which found him guilty Of acts of unparalleled enornity against the Jewish people and against humanity the only crime subject to capital punish nnent in Israel.

Downing Wants
 To Testify Again
By Virginia Sims Associated Press Sta1f Writer

| JUNEAU tR = Commissionel
 of Public Works Richard Down ing asked the Senate's special In vestigating Committee Frfd a y night that it recall him for fur ther testimony.
 The request came in a letter, dated Feb. Is, which was read into the record by Committee Chairman R. J McNealy.
 The letter was produced after Thurman Sherard, busted Director of the State Highways Division, completed his case after six hours of testimony before the commit tee in three nights.
 "In my testimony, I refrained from casting stones at Sherard in the interest of not damaging his professional reputation" Down ing wrote.
 But, Downing said, Sherard's report of conversation between the two during the last part of January was a "misrepresenta- ton of fact"
 Sherard had told the commit tee the night before of a con- versation with Downing which took place on Jan. 25 in which Downing told Sherard he was going to be dismissed. At that time, Sherard said he asked Downing if he wanted to fire him, or thought he should be fired. Tn each instance, Sherard said, Downing answered mo-
 Friday night, in winding up his testimony, Sherard told the com mittee he thought his division had done well and that he was proud of it.
