Thursday, June 2, 11149 DETROIT JEWISH CHRONICLE Page Three STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL Dr. Wise's Son Viewed as a Worthy Successor By PHINEAS J. BIRON 11 IS STILL difficult for us to realize that we live in a Wise-less world. We miss the incisive wit and the stentorian voice of the one and only Stephen Wise and above else we miss hid leader- ship. The other day while in Wash- ington we dropped in at the Cosmos Club, Washington's oldest and most respectable club. A meeting under the auspices of Prof. Einstein and Thomas Mann was being held. The purpose was to find peace alterna- tives to the Atlantic Pact. And then as we sat there we suddenly heard the voice of Stephen S. Wise thundering against war, la- menting the divisions between races Biron and nations and concluding his oration with a char- acteristic Wisian epigram: "What we need is less pacts and more pax." The speaker was James Waterman Wise, son of Rabbi Wise. His strong words for peace were in a sense, the continuation of Dr. Wise's last statement in which he aligned himself without reservation with the liberal forces struggling against the military political warmongering. Jimmy Wise has graduated into the major league. He can drop the junior and stand on his own feet. ••• Links Israel Issue to Forrestal Death By NATHAN ZIPRIN W GENEROUS PREMIER PREMIER BEN GURION is more magnanimous than he is credited with being.

RABBI JACOB J. WEINSTEIN writes in the May 27 issue of the "Reconstructionist" about "The Jewish Conception of Love and Marriage as Compared with the Western Romantic Tradition." We are afraid that the Rabbi's wisdom about love and marriage will not please our romantic youth in Israel and for that matter In other countries. The Rabbi believes in the marriage broker, in the selection of the right mate of the social caste with the same family background. He objects to what he calls "the romantic fever notion of love." He re- Bards that "fever notion" as a "great enemy of mar- riage and as incompatible with marriage." Romance, love, to our Rabbi, is Hollywood stuff. "To few," laments the Rabbi, "are mature enough to accept the fact that marriage must kill romance if the marriage is to survive." In other words Rabbi Weinstein insists that the practical Shadchan marriage is preferable. What do you think? We shall be glad to publish your views on this rather important question. THE MAY 28 issue of Collier's magazine carried a rather unusual article . . . It was authored by George Kent under the title of "The 25 Men Who Rule the World." Of course, among the 25 super-rulers were listed Stalin, Churchill, Truman, the pope, Mao Tse-Tung, Franco and so forth. Nothing extraordinary about these names. They are powerful rulers who decide the fate of millions of men and women. The big surprise in the list of super-rulers was the name of Chaim Weizmann, president of Israel, Weizmann who had the toughest time getting a hear- ing for the. Jewish people, Weizmann who in his seventies has to travel to far continents to help raise a few million dollars for the starving DP's. How come, we wondered, that Kent, who surely knows about Weizmann's heartaches, included Weiz- mann in his 25? Finally it dawned on us that George Kent is a victim of the type of propaganda that claims for the Jewish people and its leaders international influence OFF THE RECORD HY FORRESTAL'S death should have been turned into a Jewish issue by the New York Times reporter is a mystery. ' A newspaper that boasts of ob- jectivity in news reporting should not have permitted columnesque stuff in so serious a matter. There have been occasions in- deed when Forrestal was criti- cised for his stand on the Pales- tine question. This writer can- not recollect a single instance where Forrestal's personality or even sincerity was questioned by those who disliked his Palestine views. To intimate, as the Times re- porter did, that one of the factors contributing to Forrestal's emo- tional instability was the charge that he liked oil better than Jews is .simply speaking, a travesty. • • • and secret resources. And so even Kent who inay be an honest journalist repeats the foolish, stupid anti- Semitic jargon about the super power of Jewish leaders. • • a when they gave him the price he first demanded. But the captain showed no mercy. It was either more or else he would toss them off the vessel, the captain in- sisted. When no additional money was forthcoming, the captain placed the 30 passengers at the mercy of the sea. He put them on a small raft, deaf to their pleas for mercy. Those who resisted were beaten with stick and club and gun by the crew. The angry sea ripped the raft, and there was no hope for the men unless help came soon. Some swam. Others held on to the re- mains of the raft alisi floated. After struggling with the sea for hours, the desperate men were brought to Israel's shores by Israeli marine police who were patrolling that area. Only 2.3 told the tale. The rest are among those who no longer tell tales. * SOUR CREAM • * RICH GOLDEN BUTTER * HI-TEST MILK * HOMOGENIZED MILK * SWEET CREAM RICH IN ENERGY BUILDING VITAMINS AND MINERALS YOU CAN'T GO WRONG WHEN YOU ORDER UNITED DAIRY PRODUCTS ASK FOR United Dairy PRODUCTS AT YOUR GROCER, OR PHONE UN. 1-2800 UNITED DAIRIES, Inc. 4055 PURITAN UNiversity 1-2800
