Extending its annual Insti-

A truly enchanting book has
just been produced by the
Wayne State University Press.
Appearing under the title
"Onions and Cucumbers and
Plums," it contains "46 Yiddish
Poems", translated and edited
by Sarah Zweig Betsky.
The poems appear in the
original Yiddish, with their
English translations and Eng-
lish transliterations.
The book's publication was
made possible with the financial
assistance of the Morris and
Emma S c h a v e r Publication
Fund.
This is one of the very few
instances on record of the pub-
lication of Yiddish poems both
in translations and Roman al-
phabet transliterations.
Of special interest is the pre-
face which contains .numerous
interesting acknowledgements,
and Dr. Betsky's introductory
essay, in which she evaluates
Yiddish literature, with em-
phasis on Yiddish poetry.
Dr. Betsky, who earned her
Bachelor's and Master's de-
grees at Wayne State Univer-
sity and her Ph. D. at New
York University, not only ex-
presses thanks in her preface
to Dr. Harold A. Basilius, di-
rector of the Wayne Stat%
University Press, and to sev-
eral people who guided her in
her work, including former
Detroiter Isaac Frank (now
a Washingtonian,) but makes
special mention of the Ar-
beiter Ring Shulen of Detroit
where she studied and about
which she says that they
"helped several generations of
American-born Jews share in

wise have been denied them."
She thanks a former teacher,
the late Chaim Raden; her fa-
ther, Miss Jane Olender, Sam-
uel Sigal and Charles E. Fein-
berg for assistance. These refer-
ences are of more than passing
interest because the unique
book is a local product by a
local writer.
The introduction by Dr. Bet-
sky shows not only a keen in-
terest in and a knowledge of
Yiddish and its literature, but
evinces a great love for the
language and its printed words.
Very distinguished Yiddish
writers and their most notable
works were chosen for inclusion
in this book. The poets repre-
sented in the book are:
Abraham Sutskever, Kadie
Molodowsky, Aaron Zeitlin, Zi-
sha Landau, Reuben Iceland,
David Einhorn, Moyshe Kulbak,
M. L. Halpern, Itzik Manger,
Jacob Glatstein, Mani Leib,
Melech Ravitch, J. Adler, Ephra-
im Auerbach, A. Almi, H. Lei-
vick and Chaim Grade. Biog-
raphical notes of the authors are
appended to the volume.
Subdivided into five sections,
the titles to them are as inter-
esting as the complete work it-
self. The poems are grouped
under the following titles: "0
my world of a thousand colors,"
"onions and cucumbers and
plums," "how blessed am I and
how blessed and blessed," "chil-
dren still die of fear," and "I
burn and I am not consumed."
A number of the poems are
genuine classics, such as Glat-
stein's "Jewishness," Landau's
"The Holy Balshemtov," Lei-
vick's "Forever," IVIolodowsky's
"My 'Fatherlands' " and others.

April 24, 1958

MRS. MARTHA W. GRIFFITHS

OF MICHIGAN

MRS. GRIFFITHS. Mr. Speaker, we in
the United States have a special reason
for rejoicing with Israel in the celebra-
tion of her 10th anniversary as a nation.
Ours was the first Government to rec-
ognize Israel after she proclaimed her
independence . . . We have witnessed
and been privileged to assist in the mo-
mentous task of development . . . We
have watched Israel welcome about a
million refugees of varying tongues and
cultures.
In 10 short years Israel has developed
into the most advanced nation in the
Middle East—an oasis of democracy in
an area that still clings to feudal con-
cepts.
Israel stands on the threshold of a
challenging decade. She merits the con-
tinued moral encouragement of all who
share her great love for liberty and in-
dependence.

Citizens of the 1 7th District can proudly vote for
