On the Record

One of the leading newspapers in my home town, New York,
counselled in an editorial- demanding a budget cut that a "Con-
gressman can know the temper of the folks back home only if
they communicate it to him in plain words." We subscribe to this
medium of public expression in a democracy, but would like to
see it extended to another area of public concern—the muddling
brinkmanship that Dulles has been able to sell to the Eisenhower
Administration as statesmanship. If you disagree with the Dulles
approach to. the Middle East, if you resent the idea—as so many
Republicans and Democrats in Congress have said — of a great
power such as ours waving the bludgeon of sanctions against tiny
Israel, and if yOu find the double-standard antics of the Adminis-
--tration revolting to your sense of justice and ethics, just sit down
and pen your feelings in /etters to your Congressman, Senator
and, yes, even to the President of the United States.
If the voice, of the people is -the_ vice of God, there will be
,
hearkening.

Variations on the Din Theme . .
These dog stories remind me of another one. Vienna, notori-
ous for its anti-Semitic officials, once had a mayor! whose anti-
Semitic appetite was so huge that he could devour fried . Jews
for breakfast. On one occasion the mayor, Lueger was his name,
received a Jewish banker of Orthodox persuasion. Lueger, as
usual, was sharp with his anti-Jewish barbs though he was nego-
tiating at the moment a financial deal for the then still gay city
of Vienna. Suddenly the Jewish banker stopped him with a story
about the Jewish Exodus from ancient -Egypt. When the Jews
left Egypt, the. Jewish banker related; they naturally escaped
clandestinely under cover of the night, but they failed to reckon
with the one possibility that might ruin their plans and betray
their purpose—barking dogs. When the dogs began to bark the
Elders sat down for a consultation from which they arose with
a brilliant idea. They would cast "hazzir" to the dogs and thus
divert their attention to more - delicious morsels than frightened
Jews. "I always knew the Jews were clever," Leuger interrupted
the tale with a sardonic smile. "But wait, Sir," replied the Jew,
"the tale isn't ended yet. Today, when `hazzir' has become an
edible commodity in many Jewish homes, the dogs have begun
to bark again."
