which had appeared orr
ginally In the Richmond En-
quirer. 1t said: an the pres
ence Of the general feeling
Of uneasiness produced by
the cutting Of the canal OPP
posite Vicksburg by the
Yankees. 1t might be a re-
lief TO our friends to know
that as far as their purpose
OF turning the Mississippi
away from Vicksburg is con-
cerned. 1t will prove a failure.
This opinion Is founded on
the following facts: IN April,
1859. the Mississippi River
rose to q height never known
before. and q crevasse, or
break In the levee took place
about Is miles above Vicks-
burg. The rush OF water was
tremendous: the whole coun-
try for many miles was sub
merged and the Vicksburg
and Monroe Railroad washed
away. A strange feature OF
the case was that the river
ran through that part OF the
country as II It had been a
canal or a cutoff, OF which
the crevasse was the head
and some point below was
the mouth. for the water
that had run inland through
the crevasse ran out again
from II 10 the river about
one mile below Vlcksburg.
The crevasse was not closed,
and when the water subsidized,
the river retired 10 its own
bed again: and so viii the
present canal do. This sing
ular phenomenon was owing
10 the fact that below the
alluvial soil lay a layer OF
stiff blue clay. which can
not be washed away by the
action Of water. Below that
layer Of clay, which Is about
2 10 10 feet deep. and lies
about 8 10 0 feet below
the surface Of the soil. comes
the ouicksand. and II Is only
when the water comes in

gested suburbs, to become
Shepherds Of the streets"
In the deprived areas Of the
cities. The first call, with
eyes upon the worst Sec
tons" Of the Nations Cap
ital, is for the voluntary en-
listment of 20 men and
women who are willing to be-
come involved for one year in
the program Of the "Shep-
herds Of the streets" They
are asked to witness to the
beliefs professed in their
churches by giving q mini
mum Of one hour and o max
imum of four hours per Sum
day, for an entire year. Such
a commitment involves the
study of the city's dire needs,
and the discussion Of the
faith of those who respond
as that faith is applied to
the problem Of the inner
city of our day.
This call for creeds to
walk streets and enter homes
has in it echoes Of a Hebrew
prophet who was ahead Of
his time but a true seer as
he wrote, "In the day that I
shall have cleansed you from
your iniquities I will also
cause you to dwell In the
cities" That means If one
is sanctified at all he Is
sanctified for the streets. The
city is a saner residence for
a good man than q religious
retreat.
After years in the minis
try an outstanding preacher
perhaps on a blue Mon
day, realizing how little Of
the creeds recited on Sunday
get past the front door to
the waiting so-called secular
world = blurted out. We've
had enough of these dim
sanctum saints. these glass
case saints. these self-cen-
tered saints, these mutual
admiration saints. these pri-
vate monopoly saints, who
think God has nothing to do
but to preserve them unto
His Heavenly Kingdoml We
need more servants of the
most high who are sanctified
for the streets" Alas that
too often are the policies Of
the modern church the light
seen by teeming city streets
is not a blazing headlight.
but a receding tail light
bound for comfortable subur-
ban shelters.
The hours Of Lent spent
In quiet, ornate temples, as
the crown jewels Of our faith
once more flash and flame,
will be tremendously worth
while If a great army Of the
church militant, having
lifted those gems up to the
radiance of The Cross,
streams out of dim religious
light into the gaudy, garish
day to exclaim with anew
meaning
What care I for caste or
creed? 3

Yankees cut their canal to

SPIRES OF THE SPIRIT
ills the Deed
BY DIR. FREDERICK BROWN HARRIS
Chaplain Of the United states senate

JuSJ hlled0 liOW hIc WIidJ
are thought Of by many mil
lions Of Christians as clois-
tered weeks. 1t is the time Of
the church year when multi
tudes gather in their places
Of worship to take a spiritual
inventory, not of the world in
general but of their own in
diyidual lives. Churches Of
many denominations call this
period leading UP to the Eas-
terrible, Lent.
If a play on words might
be allowed the question Of
questions is whether what we
call our faith has been "lent"
to us by dedicated spiritual
ancestors and thus is but a
secondhand creed, or wheth-
er 1t is something that really
runs through our being like
the crimson thread through
the rope Of the British Navy.
The test to be faced with
utter honesty during the
Lenten weeks is not do /
hold certain beliefs?" but
do certain beliefs hold me?"
The important thing about
Lent, when it is over some six
weeks from now. is really not
how much faith was declared
within the sacred walls Of
sanctuaries, but how much
faith has been made ready to
get out Of churches into the
streets where cross the crowd
ed ways Of life. There is q
vivid suggestion in the anx-
ious exclamation Of the young
boy who was taken for the
first time to a regular preach
ing service of his parents
church. The preacher, as he
warmed up to his subject,
raised his voice to a higher
and higher pitch and then
with florid face and flashing
eyes, for emphasis pounded
the pulpit with his fists. At
last the little fellow, fearful
Of possible consequences if
such an angry person should
escape from the enclosed box
like pulpit. whispered half
aloud Mother, what If he
should get out?" That is a
legitimate question to be
asked regarding all the thou
sands Of sermons preached
every week. OF all the II Be-
lieve" creeds recited by those
in the pews, Of all the hymns
of service and devotion, what
If they should get out to all
the city and across the land?
And so the call Of Lent is,
bring your faith into the
church in order that with a
new conservation you may
take it out of the church.
Christ said to his followers.
aye are the salt of the earth"
A well-known religious leader
has recently written an arti-
Gle based on that statement
of the Master. He calls his
article ION This Business Of
Being Salt" Here Is one Of
his sentences: "If, in the
Christian sense, any man Is
to be salt he must have some
share In stopping the decay
that is eating away and ruin
ing the life of the genera
ton Of which he is q part"
Another minister, years ago
looking out from the portal
Of his cathedral church in
Manhattan. wrote the lines
o shame to US tDho rest con-
tent
While lust and greed for gain
In street and shop and
tenement
Wiring gold from human
pain,
And bitter lips tn blind des-
pair Cry,

so Years Ago

Woodrow Wilson took Of
flee as President so years
ago, becoming the first Dem
ocratic Chief Executive in 10
years. The Star Of March 4,
1918. said the inaugural turn
out broke all records, with
100000 visitors swelling the
crowd that witnessed the
swearing-in and parade.
Seeking to analyze the new
President. this paper said:
President Wilson has a
smile, a pleasant little part
ing Of the lips. that may be
either polite or quizzical as
the case may be. 1t is neither
a IT. r. grin, nor a Taft ex-
pansive. There is none Of the
irony or gloat that goes with
the T. r. grin: none OF the
warm touch OF hum anity
that makes the Taft smile
and hearty laughter so at
tractive. II Mr.. Wilson laughs
1t Is mighty seldom, and II
wouldn't awaken anybody
close by. All the same, his
smile ra dates politeness,
courtesy. intellect. -"
Had the Senate had It's
way In 1918. Presidents Of
the United States for the
past 80 years would have
been limited TO a single term
OF six years. For on Feb
ruary !. 1913. The Star re-
ported the Senate. by a vote
OF AZ 10 20. had approved
O proposed constitutional
amendment TO place such a
limitation on the presidency.
II the amendment had been
carried through. II would pre-
sumably have affected the
then incoming Chief Execu-
tive, Woodrow Wilson, and
would have prevented either
Theodore Roosevelt or VIII
liam Howard Taft from seek
ing the office again.

The Phoenix Jewish News is proud and honored
to salute both the City of Hope and Rabbi Albert Plot
kim
On March 2S Phoenician Chapter 492 of the City
of Hope will honor Rabbi Plotkin as its Man OF the
Year"
It is fitting that the City of Hope should bestow
this honor on Rabbi Plotkin.
The City of Hope is huge, nonproft multimillion-
dollar health and research center at Duarte, Ca de-
voted to free treatment and supported by gifts contr
buttons and donations.
The Rabbi is institution in his right giving
himself tireessy not only leader in the Jewish COM
munty in Phoenix the entire state of Arizona He
is ALWAYS willing to devote his time and energy in be-
half of his community city and state to further the
wel-beng of his fellow citizens
1t has been only short SO years ago that young
Angeles Her neighbors felt they should do something,
raised $136O5 and purchased of land Los
Angeles They put up two tents and provided free
for TB sufferers.
The idea took hold and today the great institution
is no longer limited to TB Top scientists conduct re-
search into and other malgnancies such the
dread child killer - eukema, related blood disorders,
chest diseases and heart conditions.
But despite this terrific growth, thing has not
changed-the treatment is still free.
So again. we take this opportunity to salute two
great institutions the City of Hope and Rabbi Albert
Potkin And salute all those in the community who
have devoted much of their time and effort in pro-
noting this medical center.

State Department Regrets
Boring Of JTA Newsmon

WASHINGTON (JTA) - The
State Department officially agreed
that Milton Friedman, Washing
ton correspondent of the Jewish
Telegraphic Agency, should have
been admitted to a background
briefing in the Department on
January %, and attributed his
exclusion to an official "misunder-
standing"
Assistant Secretary of State
Robert Manning, replying to the
protest made on behalf of the
Jewish Telegraphic Agency by
Philip Slomovitz, its vice-president
conceded that the matter should
have been handled more wisely"
Once Friedman had made known
his desire to attend the briefing,
Manning said, ''He should have
been invited. 1 regret that he was
not"
Manning said that he had looked
The Phoenix Jewish news., 1963-03-15

into the incident at the request of
Secretary of State Dean Rusk and
stated, 81 can assure you that no
affront to Mr.. Friedman or to the
Jewish Telegraphic Agency w a s
intended. Nevertheless, a misund-
erstanding occurred, and l well
come this opportunity to explain
the circumstances that apparently
occasioned it."
The State Department official
described the background brief
ngS and pointed out that invita-
tons to these briefingS "are likely
to range from the all-inclusive
downward to a handful of corre-
spondents who have a special in
terest in a subject or who have
been seeking individual interviews.
Attendance at backgrounderS is
often limited, since it would be
impractical in most cases to invite
211 accredited correspondents.
