_THE JEWISH HERALD-VOICE
Lays Cornerstone Adoption of “Houston Plan”
For Museum Advocated by B. B. Patterson
Warsaw.—(WNS)—The corner-
stone of the only Karaite Museum
in the world, which will house
historical and ethnographical col-
lections concerning the Karaites,
a Jewish sect that originated in
the Crimea, was dedicated at
Troki, near Vilna. Among the
documents to be preserved in
the museum are the original
charters of the priveleges grant-
ed to the Karaites by the kings
of Poland and the grand dukes
of Lithuania and the charters
granted by the Khans of Crimea.
The Karaites, who number 1,500
in Poland and are organized in a
Karite Union headed by a re-
ligious leader called Chacham
Szapchal, came to Poland with
the Tartars. Engaged mostly in
handicrafts, agriculture and com-
merce, their native tongue is Tar-
tar.

The “First 23” amendments,
comprising the Houston Plan of
government, on which Houston-
ians will vote Oct 3, were sum-
marized recently by Bennett B.
Patterson, a member of the City
Charter Commission which draft-
ed them.
Mr. Patterson defined the Hous-
ton Plan as a plan “designed to
correct unworkable, outmoded
and ineffective provisions in the
City Charter, to correct the most
glaring evils at City Hall, and to
prevent the confusion, fights and
bickering from which we have
suffered for years.”
The City Council under the
Houston Plan will be a part-time
body of eight commissioners and
the mayor. Of the commissioners,
two will be elected from north of
the Buffalo Bayou, two from
south of it, and one from East
End, to provide fair representa-
tion for all sections of the city,
Mr. Patterson said. The other
three councilmen will be elected
at large to insure consideration
of city problems as a whole. Op-
posed to this, he said, is Commis-
sioner Frank Holton’s plan, con-
tained in proposed amendments
25 to 29, which does not provide
district representatives at all.
“Council is the only authority
for the appropriation and expen-
diture of money under the Hous-
ton Plan,” Mr. Patterson said. “A
citizen cannot offer himself for
council service until 300 voters
petition him to run. Council mem-
bers would receive a minimum
pay of $1500 and a maximum of
$200 a year, so that any man, rich
or poor, can afford to devote
time to perform the services and
be reasonably compensated with-
out interfering with his usual
business.
“Experience has proven that
we cannot get the best type of
man to nm for office under the
present setup at City Hall. The
Houston Plan will encourage men
who are not professional politi-
cians to represent their districts
or the city at large on the coun-
cil, because they do not have to
sacrifice profession or business to
do so,” he concluded.

(Continued from page one)
The concluding phrase of the
Yom Kippur service, Loshanah
Habaah Biyerushalayim (Next
year in Jerusalem) is said even
by residents of Jerusalem.
Yes, this is Yom Kippur. We
stand in the shadow of the world.
This year is no exception, though
the area is blacker and more
wide flung in its scope. But we
have not given up hope. We live
in the hope and faith of our
fathers and hope that He and His
goodness will prevail and man
will see the light. Religion has
been the rock of ages and has
endured countless storms and
tempests. This blast will be for-
gotten as have been other and
equally as caluminous events in
the past Ours is a life for the
future and that future will be
tomorrow and we and our child-
ren will yet live to see the bene-
volent sun shine over a new and
worthier civilization.

Congratulations to the officers
and the Board of Directors of
the Y. W.-Y. M. H. A. on their
acceptance into the Houston Com-
munity Chest. The careful study
and work charts as presented by
President Robt Kaplan and Jew-
ish Community Council Executive
Director Jacob Lightman showed
clearly the need for a Community
Center has long been felt in Hous-
ton. The present “Y,” while hope-
lessly inadequate, will serve as a
stimulator to a future Community
Center which will be the pride of
all Houston Jewry. Our next task
is to see wherein we can realize
the hopes for such a Center and
set to functioning a building pro-
gram which may, in due time,
prove worthy of our community.

And glad tidings came from
little Wales. The Bible College in
Swanson has decided to admit
fifty young German and Austrian
refugees to special courses in
agriculture. These courses are
specifically designed to qualify the
young refugees for life in Pales-
tine and will lay the ground work
for their participation in the
economic structure of Palestine.
A good example like this should
find a number of imitators, yes,
even in this country.

Another parley between beli-
gerents seems to be at hand.
Revisionists, it is said, are ready
for peace talks with Zionists.
Chief Rabbi Isaac Herzog of Pal-
estine is the author of that state-
ment and it. is the hope of all -
Zionists that this is true. The need
for a united front in Israel is a
dire necessity. It must be accom-
plished if we are to gain our de-
sired result in the settlement of
the Palestinian question.

The idea of the totalitarian state
was assailed by Pope Pius as “a
falsity ... so evident that it is
astonishing that otherwise and
talented men say this and teach
it to crowds.” I wonder if the
Pope has his tongue in his cheek
when he held them “talented
men.”

In Houston we have our own
little nazi organization. Not open-
ly so, but one can notice the deft
touch by reading the newspapers.
In the letters to the editor, one
finds frequent letters praising
Herr Hitler and his philosophy.
There is always an interview
ready to show how wonderful the
Germans and their country are.
The other day one of our dailies
carried a picture of two young
debs, fascist salute and all, and
they said the Sudeten Germans
are wonderful people, only op-
pressed and persecuted and now
desirous of getting their philo-
sophy and teachings from Hitler
& Co. Can it be that our nazi
friends have a tabulating system
and pop individuals and state-
ments up at will? Or is it chance?
Or what is it?
There are 13 Yom Kippurs in
the year. Besides the Yom Kippur
that comes after Rosh Hashanah.
there is a “Small Yom Kippur”
(Yom Kippur Katen) on the day
preceding the beginning of every
month (Rosh Hodesh). It is ob-
served by pious Jews as a special
day of prayer and fasting.
Reich Mobilizes Jewish
Doctors For War Service
Berlin (WNS)—Giving effect to
the 1935 military law which
barred Jews from the army and
navy in peace time but provided
for special regulations governing
them in the event of war, the
Reich authorities are reported to
be conscripting large numbers of
Jewish youths and war veterans
for military service in as yet un-
identified branches of the army.
It is reported on good authority
that at least 400 Jew-physicians
have been ordered to report as
doctors' assistance iin the army
medical corps which is greatly
understaffed. It is also learned
that in the recent registration of
Germans who served in the World
War as officers or army doctors.
Jews were not exempt Of the
2.000 Jewish wartime officers and
4.000 wartime army officers, hilf
are still in Germany. There are
also several thousand Jews listed
in what is known as “substitute
reserve group No. 2” which
would be subject to special regu-
lations in the event of war. In
Austria large numbers of Jews
have been drafted for pick and
shovel work on road-building pro-
jects designed for military use.
All unemployed Jews refusing
such jobs are to be denied state
aid, according to a decree by
Odilo Globocznik. Nazi gauleiter
for Vienna.

REPORT “ZIONIST COUNTER-
REVOLUTIONARY” PLOT
IN SOVIET UNION
London (WNS) — An alleged
“counter-revolutionary Zionist or-
ganization" with headquarters in
Moscow's Great Synagogue, is
reported to have been uncovered
by the OGPU, Soviet secret po-
lice, according to a dispatch to
the London Daily Telegraph. The
leader of the alleged organization,
the Telegraph says, was Rabbi
Medalie. The plotters are accused
of sabotage, charging extortianate
prices for matzoth and attempting
to undermine the Jewish coloni-
zation work in Biro Bidjan, the
Ukraine and Crimea.
