POSTORIAL
THE NEW YEAR 1962
The overshadowing aspiration of all as we enter 1962 is
*ie maintenance of peace. Skies are laden with ominous clouds.
The ostrich is said to hide its face in the sands before oncoming
storms, but how is man, even if he were so disposed, to shelter
himself before so many potential areas of war—Berlin, Laos,
Viet Nam, Congo, China, Goa. Every week seems to see an addi-
tion to the list.
And the war threat today is of course atomic. Never since
the Biblical Deluge has mankind faced so universal a catas-
trophe. We are told to dig into the underground, to live like
moles in the earth to save ourselves from the consuming wrath
ahead.
Yet we go on leading fairly nomai lives. We say to ourselves,
the character of war has completely changed. The terrors of
atomic war spare as little the victor as the defeated. Surely the
nations cannot be so stupid, statesmen so blind, as ito permit it.
Perhaps the terrors of atomic war are a, kind of vaccination
against it. The terrors of war were responsible for the creation
of the United States. There are other hopeful signs, the emergence
>of the European Common Market, which may be the basis of a
United States of Europe and, more recently, our country has spon-
sored an Alliance for Progress in South America.
Recently the Atomic Energy Commission initiated an ex-
periment to convert tlhle powerful atomic explosives to peaceful
uses. It called it OPERATION PLOWSHARE,
It was in Israel, some 2500 years ago /that Isaiah first spoke i
about turning swords into ploughshares.
Israel today (is helping make that a reality. It is the under-
developed nations that are today the chief breeding centers of
potential wars and Israel is a kind of blue print showing how
their problems may be peacefully solved. Many of ithe underde-
veloped nations are themselves turning to Israel for guidance.
More than 20 of the new nations sent delegations to Israel
during the past year to study her ways. Some went to the farms,
others are taking courses at her universities or scientific institutes
and Israel has sent hundreds of technicians to the new countries
themselves.
. Long ago it was said, Israel’s mission is peace. Modern Israel
is fulfilling that mision.

enjoys an exceptional popular-
ity. With his leadership, he can
carry along a majority of even
this reluctant Congress. The fer-
ment in the communities, as re-
flected by the freedom rides and
sit-ins, testify to the realism of
such a course.”
One thing is certain, though.
Civil rights proponents will be
out manning the bastions here
again. A number of organiza-
tions have already served no-
tice they will be pressuring anew
this year for a bill that would
give the Attorney General the
same power for any civil rights
case that he now has for cases
involving voting violations, as
well as for some sort of legisla-
tion designed to speed up school
desegregation.
Outlook on Federal Aid to
Religious Schools
But if civil rights legislation
faces tough Congressional sled-
ding, the perennial Federal aid
' for education propsal is figur-
atively snow-bound.
School aid, which passed the
Senate but was buried last ses-
sion in the House Rules Com-
mittee ,is likely to be one of the
toughtest battles in the new ses-
sion, What’s more, it is expected
to reopen some of the old sores
of the church-state issue.
Opening shot in the new skir-'
mish was recently fired by the
National Catholic Welfare Con-
ference with an 82-page legal
document which purports to
show legislative precedent for
Federal aid to private schools.
The nub of the new Catholic
argument is that religious educa-
tion and secular education can
be differentiated in parochial
schools and, therefore, if there
is to be a Federal aid program
for schools then church-operated
schools are entitled to Federal

Prospects for Liberalization
of Immigration Laws
Dead, too, say the experts, is
the prospect for any further ac-
tion this session of a liberaliza-
tion of our immigration laws.
The present law—characterized
by some as “cruel” and “undem-
ocratic”—bases entry into this
country on where an applicant
was born, the color of his skin
and the shade of his political
views. Aside from some of the
obviously discriminatory aspects
of the present national origins
quota system. Large unfilled
quotas are wasted annually.
Numerous efforts to make
sweeping changes — including
some in the last session—have
run afoul of Pennsylvania’s
Democrat Francis E. Walter
whose/ unofficial title of “Mr.
Immigration” bespeaks the awe
with which he is regarded bn
immigration matters.
However, observers here do
see one faint glimmer of hope
and that, strangely, comes from
Walter himself who has hereto-
fore been extremely rigid in his
views. During debate last ses-
sion, Walter indicated support
for some kind of pooling ar-
rangement of unused quotas. But
whether anything is likely to
subsidies for that part of their happen in this session is ques-

curriculum which is secular.
They include such subjects as
physical education, mathematics
and languages as examples.
With just a few notable ex-
ceptions among Judaism’s ultra-
Orthodox groups, Jews as indi-
viduals, and through their organ-
isations, have consistently re-
jected this view. They can be
expected to continue to do so.
But the whole issue may have
some implications for Jewish
members of Congress with Cath-
olic constituencies, according to
Roy H. Milenson, Washington
national representative of the
American Jewish Committee,
who says that they may be torn
tionable. In the view of ADL’s
Edelsberg, “The piecemeal im-
migration law improvements of
the last few years in response
to pressures from emigrant
countries like Italy has removed
some of the incentive for a ma-
jor overhaul.”
As for the issue of Arab di-
crimination against American
Jews—another of those peren-
nial problems—chances are, say
observers here, that a new for-
eign appropriations bill will be
approved with the samej pro-
visions contained in last year’s
bill: that is, a statement assert-
ing U.S. support of freedom of
navigation in international

free from racial and religious

violate these principles.
In short, the consensus is that
while it will certainly be an in-
teresting session, it may not be
a particularly fruitful one.
