Traditional Siddur, in Translation by Dr. de Sola Pool,
Authorized by Orthodox Rabbinical Council of America

The Prayer Book, like the
Bible, may well be considered
a best seller. When, therefore,
a new and most imposing trans-
lation of the Siddur makes its
appearance, it should be viewed
as news of major importance.
This is definitely the case
with "Siddur — the Traditional
Prayer Book for Sabbath and
Festivals," just published by
Behrman House (1261 B'way,
N. Y. 1).
Edited and translated by one
of American Jewry's most dis-
tinguished scholars, Dr. David
de Sola Pool, and authorized by
the Rabbinical Council of
America, the spokesman for
Orthodox Jewry, this sacred
book makes its appearance as a
classic. Its splendid typography,
the perfect translation, its all-
inclusiveness, make this Prayer
Book a volume to be treasured
in praying and while searching
for appropriate commentaries
on prayers.
Dr. Pool's inspired and in-
spiring introduction provides
interpretation for the Siddur
and its contents. "The Pray-
ers," he declares, "are ir-
radiated by a glorious uni-
versalism, with an unfailing
vision of hope and betterment
for all men. The Messianic
concept of an ideal Golden
Age is set not in the past but
in the future. The concluding
paean of praise and worship
in the daily services echoes
the Bibical ideal of the day
when all men shall live to-
gether in social comity and
brotherhood under the sov-
ereignty and blessing of the
one Father of all mankind."
The fact th t the names of
the chairman' th Halakha
and Siddur co
itt s
the

Rabbinical Council, Rabbis J. B.
Soloveitchik and C. B. Chavel,
appear under the Orthodox im-
primatur of this Siddur is an
indication of the strict ad-
herence to the traditional in
the preparation and editing of
it.
The publishers, in their ac-
knowledgement of assistance
given by a group of prominent
American rabbis, state that the

project owes its inception to
Louis Behrman, founder of
Behrman House, and Emanuel
Green, its former president.
The Behrman - published Sid-
dur appears in the usual format
—6 inches wide by nine inches
deep. Yet, in advance of publi-
cation, this Siddur already was
considered as so majestic an
undertaking that University

NEW ORLEANS, (JTA)—
New Orleans has been flooded
with copies of .Common Sense,
a periodical authoritatively de-
scribed as "the most obscenely
anti-Seniitic publication in the
country."
Because Common - Sense, pub-
lished by Conde . McGinley, has
a bulk rate permit, there was
no postmark on the copies sent
here to businessmen and civic
leaders and no indication of the
source.
The Anti-Defamation League
office here reported receiving
numerous complaints and stated
that the matter has been re-
ferred to postal authorities,
the U.S. Attorney General's
office in Washington, and the
U.S. Attorney in New Orleans
for investigation of possible
postal regulations infractions.
Irwin Schulman, director of
the ADL office here, said that
prior to the Supreme Court
school desegregation decision,
the periodical had no market
in the South. During the Little
Rock school crisis, thousands
of copies were shipped by truck
to the Arkansas city and dis-
tributed. Since then, whenever
a southern city faces a desegre-
gation situation, it is flooded
with copies.

ligious manual, it has literary
significance because of its ex-
cellent translation and the in-
clusion of all the Sabbath and
festiKal prayers and the Scriptural
selections for the festivals. Ex-
purgation or condensation was,
of course, out of the question.
In addition to all the prayers,
this Siddur contains the Scrip-
tural and Mishnaic readings —
The Song of Songs, Sabbath
Afternoon Psalms and Sayings
of the Fathers.
Then there are the Zemiroth
for various occasions, for Sab-
bath Eve, Sabbath Noon, the
third Sabbath meal, the con-
clusion of the Sabbath and
Oneg Sabbath songs.
Torah readings for Pass-
over, Shavuot and Sukkot in-
clude the Pentateuchal and
Prophetical portions.
Then there is a section con-
taining selected readings in
English for various occasions,
dealing with the synagogue and
the home, the Sabbath, the fes-
tivals, Jewish ethics, Israel and
many other subjects.
This is, indeed, a most val-
uable prayer book. There is no
doubt that its contents and the
beauty of •its composition will
serve to inspire its users and
will add dignity to praying and
to services.

Sentence 2 Rockwellites
for Painting Swastikas

TO

WASHINGTON, (JTA)—Two
f George Lincoln Rockwell's
eo-Nazi stormtroopers were
and guilty of defacing the
ational Bnai Brith headquar-
ers with swastikas and sen-
enced to pay $100 fine each,
or serve ten days in confine-
ment. Additionally, the two
were simultaneously sentenced
to suspended sentences of six
months each.
The Nazis were John Patler,
who was discharged from the
Marine Corps because of his
Nazi affiliation, and Daniel Bur-
ros, a printer who lives in the
Nazi headquarters. The pair
had requested and received a
jury trial. But the jury was out
less than 15 minutes before re-
turning a verdict of guilty.
Clark King, District Prosecu
tor who recently obtained the
first conviction of Rockwell
himself, prosecuted the case.
The trial was held in Municipal
Court.

Close to a thousand friends,
including civic leaders and city
government officials, last week
honored Louis L. Markowitz at
a testimonial dinner-dance given
by the Daylight Masonic Lodge
No. 525 at the Latin Quarter.
Mayor Louis C. Miriani pre-
sented Markowitz with a procla-
mation making Sept. 24 "Louis
Markowitz Day," and a key to
the city to Markowitz's wife,
Aida.
A printer, Markowitz has
helped a number of organiza-
tions by providing entertain-
ment for charitable causes. He
formerly was the leading boxing
and wrestling promoter in Mich-
igan. Also on hand for the af-
fair, were his two children,
Melvin and Beverly.

Wolverine State Citizens
League, a newly founded non-
partisan and non-profit organi-
zation has been incorporated
for the purposes of studying
and acting on vital civic issues
both locally and state-wide, an-
nounce Larry L. Auttenberg,
president, and H. •B. Tenen-
baum, executive director.
The immediate aim of this
organization is to propose a
change of the present form of
electing councilmen-at-large to
a more direct method of elect-
ing -councilmen by districts.
The public is invited to ex-
press its views by writing care
of the Detroit-Leland Hotel.

Teens of the Jewish Center will

ing a band, floor show and re-
