and added it would be "a

Mr.. Jackson's decision was
criticized by Julius Hobson,
regional director of the Con-

Hobson denied reports that
CORE would call off its
planned voter registration drive

to make it clear to the public
that we are in no way asso-
ciated with the NAACP."
He said Mr.. Jackson's failure
to resign Immediately from his
post as president of the local
NAACP amounts to using the
NAACP for his campaign head

required by law to resign from
the NAACP and the organiza-
ton does not indorse political
candidates.

THE MORNING AFTER
Bargain TinseI Worth Fighting For
BY MYRA MACPHERSON
Star Staff Writer


strangest phenomenon of
Christmas Is going on all
around us today.
It's the day-after- Christmas
rush for Christmas cards and
tree bulbs and. yes, even tin
sci. From the looks on most of
the shoppers faces, it is a seri-
Gus business and jokes are not
to be tolerated.
Looking very grim and I'M
festive. women and a few stray
males showed and grabbed at
card boxes, one-half off. The
Woodward g. Lothrop sales
woman said II haven't had
time to breathe all morning."
as five hands thrust cards at
her.
A reporter, asking such
cheerful questions as do you
have any problems, like forget
ting by next December where
you stored the cards?" drew
a cold stare.
Tree Balls Sold
One woman said. "I don't
really approve of the idea," as
she dived for three boxes on
the counter.
1t was no better in the trim
a-tree section. Buyers lined UP
as If it were two days ago in
the toy department.
A man held two baskets
filled with silver tree balls and
managed some measure of
cheerfulnesS.
MY wife's a bargain hunter.
I tell her what Ben Franklin
said" the man said. It seemed
like quite liberal paraphrasing
but the message was clear as
he continued, Franklin said,
don't buy something you don't
want just because it's cheap
American housewives don't
know what to do with the dol
lar. She wanted me to get her
down here by $50 and I told
her the stores weren't even
open then"
Sizes a Mystery
There was also some activity
at what is referred to as the
settlement desk" located in
each department. It seems
that husbands and wives don't
know a thing about each others
sizes because there was a BOOM
ing trade in the exchange of
mems shirts and women's neg
ligee.
Behind the shirt counter a
man made out exchange slips.
That's all it is today. I don't
think I made but two sales, 3"
he said.
The safest place to be, if you
were a salesperson, was the
perfume counter. For some
reason, women don't have the
heart to return a wrong scent.
Shaver Shop Quiet
Also there was nothing more
dead than the Shaver Shop.
The salesman yawned, sat
down. even read a book. He
had done one dollars worth of
business by noon, and had had
only two exchanges. One was
an electric shaver and the other
was a scalp maSSager.
THAT was a duplicate. A
husband and wife bought
massagers for each other" he
said.
Down around the Christmas
cards, the mob was growing
into a battalion. prompting this
Scrooge- like comment from an
observer:
This is the height of terrible
organization. We people who
are disorganized hope they gel
ornaments with broken wiring
and some very ugly Christmas
cards" "

Funds Requested
Of White House
By Citizen Group

President johnson and the
District Commissioners h We
been asked to include funds in
the Districts next budget to
implement a six-point program
to improve the lives Of de-
pendent children and effect
other related welfare changes.
The program of recommen-
dations was prepared by the
District Health and Welfare
Councils Citizens Committee
on the Public Welfare Crisis.
which asked that funds to fl
nance the proposals be included
in the fiscal 1865 budget. The
request for budget funds was
sent by the committee to the
White House this week.
The Critical Needs
The committee said its rec
omendations we're directed at
six critical needs" Of the city's
welfare program. 1t identified
these needs as:
/. Aid to children Of unem-
ployed parents. The commit
tee said children of parents
who are jobless but employable
we're being punished and that
the Districts policy is partly
responsible for overcrowding at
Junior Village.
| 2. A Is per cent increase in
public assistance grants. "Al-
lowances for all families and
individuals receiving public as
sistance are inadequate and
unrealistic," the committee de-
clared, noting that present
allowances are based in 1857
Department of Agriculture es-
Inmates of food costs and on
1858 rental costs.
3. An expansion Of day care
services for working mothers
with low incomes. The COM
mittee Endorsed a request by
the District Welfare Depart
ment for S167 900 in fiscal 1865
to extend its day care assist
ance.
4. A reduction in the num-
ber of social worker caseloads
and in-service training for So
cial workers.
5. A drastic reduction" in
, the staff of special investiga-
tors.
) 6. An increase in foster home
board rates to SIS monthly per
child under IL. and $85 month
ly per child over IL.
The 1864 budget authorizes
foster care payments of $40
for children under 6 months,
and $50 for children over 6
months.
Cost Estimate Not Made
Abraham Makofsky, secre-
tary of the committee, said no
estimate was made of the cost
, Of the proposals, but that it
probably would be made soon.
The goal Of the proposals.
: the committee said, is to give
: every dependent child a home
by making it possible for him
. to stay with his parents or re-
ceive proper foster care.
The committee blamed ere
strictive eligibility policies" for
, some of the Districts welfare
problems, but directed most of
its criticisms at the 98-man
special Investigations staff.
"A climate of fear has been
= created among applicants
and those who already receive
public assistance" the COM
l mittee charged. This fear
extends even into the social
work staff Of the department
(of welfare). :"
1t suggested a small investi-
gative unit to review only sus-
pected fraud cases and that all
employees of the Welfare De-
partment be charged with the
responsibility to determine
continuing eligibility.

Preparations for the Pass
over holiday began some weeks
ago in the Burnsteins' strictly
Orthodox home. Mrs. Burn
stein-who, like her husband,
was born In Poland and raised
in New York-gave her house
the pre- Passover thorough
cleaning.
This is not Just a spring
houSecleaning, but a required
search to remove every hidden

also changed over to completely
different sets of dishes and
utensils for the holiday.
Rabbi Burnstein, who has

Congregation at AIT Ninth

all Of the special Passover foods

ever, use only specially-super-
vised hand-baked NATIONS
which must be ordered from
New York.
Cooking for the Seder meals
held on the first two nights
of the festival by Orthodox
and Conservative Jews, but
only one night by the Reform
is no mean task for a Jewish
housewife. The dinner itself is
an important part of the Seder,
particularly since it comes near
the end of the lengthy service.

Burnsteins will be eating fish

Biblical Book of Exodus. Jews
the world over will begin cele-
brating the eight-day freedom
festival of Passover at sundown
Monday.
The Burnsteins' youngest son,
Naphtali Aryeh, 5, will open
his family Seder by reciting the
traditional -four questions" in
Hebrew. The first is: why is
this night different from all
other nightS2" The legends and
symbols used in the Seder meal
provide the answer.
The central symbolic food of
Passover is "matzoh," the un-
leavened bread eaten through
out the holiday week. 1t IS
reminiscent of the hastily
prepared provisions which the
Jews took in their exit frcm
Egypt.
Bitter Reminder
Also found on the plate Of
edible symbols is a bitter herb,
generally horseradish, as a re-
minder Of the bitterness Of
bondage. There is "charoses," ,"
q mixture Of nuts. raisins, ap-
Piles and cinnamon which rep
resents the mortar used by the
slaves In making bricks for
the Egyptian Pharaoh.
A roasted shank bone or
chicken wing symbolizes the
Paschal lamb offered in ancient
times; a roasted egg represents
the festival sacrifice at the
Temple in Jerusalem. Parsley
dipped in salt water signifies
the coming Of spring and re-
newal of life.
Each person at the Seder
table drinks four servings OF
wine-the children usually get
watered-down wine or grape
juice. These represent the four
different expressions for re-
demption In use at the time
Of the exodus. There is always
an extra cup Of wine on the
table for the spirit of the
prophet Elijah, who is Believed
to visit each Seder meal.
