CLOTHING & FURNISHINGS People will believe anything because they know so little of each other. Policeman and a Molar Tale by Baruch - who was among the newspaper- men present, interrupted the Congressman "Bill," he said "Jews when they pray don't get down on their knees." You might have expected a Congressman representing the most thoroughly Jewish constituency to know sim- ple facts about the synagogue. The Sulzer episode reminds me of the story of the wealthy Jew who had Maftir. Maftir, as everyone knows, is the highest honor bestowed on a layman at the synagogue service. When a rich man is accorded the honor, it is expected that he will make a quid pro quo with a donation to the synagogue. But this rich man was very miser- ly, so the officials said, No Money, No Maftir. Finally the rich man, greedy for the honor, promised to give $500 to the synagogue. But once he had maftir, he thumbed his nose at the officials when they asked him for money. He laughed in their faces. "So I promised, so what? You don't expect me to make good such a promise, do you?" Members of the congregation surrounded him, argued with him, shouted at him, some were ready to maul him, when a po- liceman appeared to inquire what was the trouble. Everybody started explaining to the police- man. All he could make out was that the rich man had promised to pay $500 for Maftir and then had not come across, so the po- liceman turned to the rich man and said, "Either pay the $500 or give the Maftir back. A humorous story, but such ig- norance has its tragic side. Jose- phus relates how the Egyptian, Apion, spread a story that the Jews every year fattened up a Greek in their Holy temple for an annual sacrifice.

Irving Kane, president of the Council, pointed out that while the CJFWF endorsed the major objectives and provisions of the proposed legislation, it recom- mends that the Senate: liberalize the Bill's residence requirements for public assistance; prevent abuses in payments for depend- ent children; and cut the dis- parity in welfare rates between those for needy children and those for the aged or disabled. These revisions were recom- mended by the Council's public welfare committee headed by Bernard P. Kopkind, as a means of "strengthening the Bill so as tei-sreflect principles of sound wel- fare legislation." 15% TO 40% OFF • SUITS - TOPCOATS were 79.50 to 120.00 Now on sale 58.75 to 93.75 • SPORT- COATS were 39.50 to 65.00 Now on sale 28.75 to 43.75 • SLACKS were 24.50, Now 18.75 • SHIRTS, 5.95 values, Now 4.79-3 for 14.00 !tidy lepim — SAt3N Telegraphic Agency, Inc.) (Copyright, 1962, Jewish Bernard Baruch in his recently published autobiography tells an amusing tale about William Sul- zer The old timers will remember Sulzer. He represented the East Side in Congress when it was really the East Side, when on the same block you could get all the three P's—pushcarts, pickles and philosophers. The time when the East Side was full of color— at the time of the great immi- gration. The fact that Sulzer was not a Jew didn't hurt him with the East Side. He was tall, looked like Andrew Jackson and when he spoke, used only the best words in the dictionary. A lot of the East Siders didn't under- stand him, but they didn't care about that. A good speech should have music as well as ideas, and ideas these Fact Sider s had enough. They loved the music. A speech by Congressman Sulzer was so soothing, you could fall asleep. Sulzer was so popular on the East Side, Tammany nominated him for Governor and he was elected, but elected over his great popularity, he defied Tammany and that's when he lost out. Tam- many Boss Charley Murphy gave orders for his impeachment and he was tried and removed from the governorship. The story that Baruch relates is of the time when Sulzer was a Congressman. He was boasting among a party of newspapermen of -his great popularity with the Jews. "Why," said he, "I in- tervened with the Czar on behalf of the Jews and when the Jews learned this, they got down on their knees in synagogues and prayed for me." .
