ing with contemporary Jewish
life have just been published by
the national education depart-
ment of the Zionist _Organiza-
tion of America. The plays,
which may be produced royal-
ty-free by amateur dramatic
groups, were prize-winners in
the recent. ZOA $1,000 playwrit-
ing contest judged by Moss Hart,
Eddie Cantor and Norman Cor-
win.
"Action in Jezreel" by Elihu
Winer is an account of a strange

Generation" by Louis I Newman
depicts the motivations which

Petach Tikvah Election
Result is Challenged

JERUSALEM, (JTA)—The Su-
preme Court issued an order
forbidding Pinhas Rashish, new-
ly-elected Mapam Mayor of Pe-
tach Tikvah, from carrying out
the duties of his office until the
court can determine the validity
of a challenge to the legality of
his election.
The challenge was brought by
an attorney who charged that
the election was invalid for two
reasons, both based on the resi-
dence- of A. Neuman, Mizrachi
Laborite who voted for Rashish.
The attorney asserted that Mr.
Neuman had moved out of Pe-
tach Tikvah before the munici-
pal council met and was there-
fore not entitled to his own seat
on the council.
Therefore, the challenger in-
sisted, the entire session was
illegal, because of Mr. Neuman's
voting. In the event the session
is ruled legal, the attorney con-
tinued, the election results can
be challenged on the basis that
Mr. Neuman's vote broke an
eight to eight tie and that his
vote must now be discarded and
a tie reinstituted.

I hove: read with great inter-
est your. recent editorial con-
cerning • alleged discrimination
in fraternal organizations.
Your statement regarding the
elimination of bias is. commend-
able. One must, however, define
what is bias; and what is the
democratic—right of social se-
lection. -
A fraternity is a definite ad-
junct - of the family circle. Its
ties of kinship and bond place
it without question in the fam-
ily class, and only blood rela-
tionship shows a higher degree
of family ties. Men in a frat-
ernity live, and work with one
another constantly for the com-
mon good. Fraternities are or-
ganizations which have done
much constructive work, and
have always been regarded by
most educators as vital, con-
tributing parts of the communi-
ty. The attacks on fraternities
in recent years stem from sheer
ignorance of what fraternities
are or stand for.
It is undoubtebly true that
the entire question of fraternity
membership is undergoing _more
and more discussion each year.
The fraternities themselves have
been giving serious thought to
the matter for a long time. I
believe that it is a question
which o n1 y the fraternities
themselves should and can solve.
The abrogation of social rights
Which is being attempted is
hardly in keeping with the ideals
of democracy. The forced legis-
lative attempts which are being
tried by a few universities are,
in themselves, undemocratic. The
setting of a time limit on some
campuses discriminates against
all national - fraternities, where
the local chapter is bound to
obey all rules set up in the best
interests of all the members
throughout the country.
The forced removal of fraternity
chapters from many campuses
will undoubtebly cause a great
loss of the constructive ventures
which fraternities have always
undertaken. College administra-
tions must be wary, lest they
fall prey to the misguided stu-
dent "vigilantes" who seek to
destroy fraternities.
Your stand that the question
is being ignored is entirely false.
The elimination of bias in all
segments of our society is purely
an educational process. If any-
thing it will impete their true
progress.
I beleive that the clauses
which you label as discrirnatory
are not so at all. It is firmly the
right of any social organization
to set up its own standards for
membership. To create artificial
media of social intercourse
would be folly indeed.
No. The prOblem will be solved
only by education, not legisla-
tion.
