BER• RICH "GET RICH QUICK" TU 3-4000 Four Splendid Viking Books for Youngsters For children in several age groups, for the very young and some a bit older, for those who should be 'read to and then can read for themselves, and for those in the third and fourth grades who enjoy a good, whole- some, attention-holding stories, Viking Press (625 Madison, NY22) again has produced a series of excellent books. There is wholesomeness and genuine delight in "I Like to Be Me," a charming story by Barbara Bel Geddes/ who is responsible for both words and pictures in this attractive, large sized book. Children who have just learned to read will return to the text again and again because of the repetitive ap- peal in the title-words and the pictures which will stir their imagination. Those who recall "Mister Penny" and other excellent children's stories by Marie Hall Ets will welcome her latest, "Gilberto and the Wind." Here is a wonderful tale for the very young—a well-told story and splendidly illustrated by the author. The umbrella blown by the wind, the kite, the balloon, the soap bubbles—all combine to make a fine narrative. The children won't abandon this book, and will turn to it again and again. Then there is the French story by Jane Harmon Hein, illustrated by Claire Finaz- "Un jour a la foire." The Eng- lish translation at the end is of the needed assistance. Mean- while, for those who know French this is an ideal book. For those a few years older, Anne H. White has written "A Dog Called Scholar," an excit- ing tale that is livened up by the Lilian Obligado illustra- tions. This is an animal tale of special merit.

He said there were too many letters in it. Hebrew has 22 letters in the alphabet. Were they necessary? he asked; 21 letters, he said, would be enough. Which letter, he was asked, would you eliminate? Beth, he answered, for there is no basar (meat), bayit (house) begged (cloak). True, he said, there is Ben-Gurion, but is it worthwhile just for one name to retain the letter? Another solution for the food shortage was a change in the calendar of the holidays. It was proposed that Rosh Hashanah be limited to one day and Yom Kippur, the fast day, be made two days instead of one. 19th Century Hebrew Poet Jacob Eichenbaum, a 19th cen- tury Hebrew poet and mathe- matician, born in eastern Galicia at the end of the 18th century, was largely responsible for pro- moting the study of mathematics among East European Jewry. He translated into Hebrew the Ele- ments of Euclid and w r o t e numerous Hebrew textbooks on mathematics. - LONDON—Why did Pope Pius XII not intervene vigor- ously and emphatically when he knew, as he must have known, that European Jews were brutal- ly exterminated by the Nazis Was he afraid that intervention might have made things worse, or was he washing his hands, like Pontius Pilate (the com- parison is not mine; it was made in print by several Christians). This controversy was sparkled off by Rolf Hochhuth's play, "The Vicar," and is still raging all over Europe. Its impact, like that of widespread earthquake, moved from Germany to Brit- ain, in connection with the an- nouncement that the play will soon be produced in London's West End. Hochhuth, a 32 - year - old writer, wrote his play as a read- ing drama, very much in the tra- dition of the German play- wrights of the Golden Age, who found this form more suitable to their requirements and mood but did not necessarily expect all their plays to be produced on a stage. An adaptation was produced in West Berlin some time ago and run to 60 full- house performances. It was terminated becasue some of the actors had to honor contracts elsewhere. At least this was the explanation of the sponsors. There were rumors that the play was taken off because of strong Catholic pressure, but they do not seem to have been justified. For one thing, the Catholic in- fluence in West Berlin under Willy Brandt's rule is not that great; for another thing, thea- ters all over Germany have an- nounced that the play will go on their stages at the opening of next season in the early fall. Documents and Notes Although the adaptation is about one quarter of the original size of the piece, its central idea was left intact. The original ver- sion contains, in addition to the actual text of the play, docu- ments and notes used as evi- dence that what is said in the play about Pope Pius XII is justified. What it says about Pius XII, to put it briefly, is this: the Pope failed in his duty as a Christian leader, and in his responsibility as the Vicar of Christ, when he did not cry out in the face of the appaling mas- sacres of Jews and others in Europe; he remained the cool, inhuman diplomatist and main- tained meticulous neutrality while God's children suffered appaling torture and death at the hands of the Nazi fiends. This is a terrible accusation. Hochhuth pulls no punches. He says, in the printed version only, though, that Pius XII was a small man, a selfish character, who wasted away his time with irrelevant preoccupations and distractions. Hochhuth told the press that he lived in Rome for several years in order to absorb the atmosphere of the city and gain the necessary knowledge for his drama. In other words, he took his task seriously and expects what he wrote to be treated the same way. The Apologists Naturally enough, the Pope lacks no apologists, not even in England with its established An- glican Church and its numerous Protestant groupings all over the British Isles. The Times opened its columns widely to opinions on both sides, and so have other national newspapers. And there are booklets, pam- phlets, platform discussions and lectures to add to the volume of controversy. Those who defend the Pope say that the Germans themselves, with their guilt complex, and others, the British, the Americans, the Sweeds, the Canadians, who stood by and did nothing, who had adopted the attitude of "Am I My Brother's Keeper?", are looking for con- venient scapegoat. Sir Alec Randall says this but also deals with the merits of the case. He points out that Pius XII was not, in fact, the cool diplo- matist which Hochhuth makes him out to have been. Public protests might have increased the persecution, Sir Alec says. And he brings in to support his thesis the P o l i s h .Cardinal, Prince Sapieha, who had asked the Pope not to protest publicly, as such protests might make the situation worse, and the French Catholic writer, Francois Mau- riac, who had written that the silence of the Pope was "a ter- rible duty," because there was danger of provoking madmen like Hitler and Himmler to even worse excesses. Sir D'Arcy G. Osborne, who was an enforced .guest of the Vatican during the war, and was British Minister to the Holy See, says very much the same. The answer of Kurt Klap- pholz, Robert Weltsch, E. M. Mendelson, Morrie Raymond, Adrian Pigott and others—all names to be treated with respect —is this: the situation could not have been worse, there was nothing to lose. Mauriac himself, while defending the Pope, says that "a crime of such magnitude falls, nevertheless, in no small measure to the responsibility of all those witnesses who never cried out against it, whatver the reason for their silence." No Word from Pope Again, the controversy reveals that there was a clash between diplomatic etiquette and spon- taneous humnity, and the Pope was found wanting, coming down on the side of diplomacy, which, in the end, proved futile, anyhow. Many Catholics, mil- lions perhaps, waited for a word from Rome — in vain. Albert Camus summed up their feel- ings, and the feelings of all of us: "A sad loneliness gripped all hearts, of believers and non- believers." . It is also being pointed out, here and in Germany, that Car- dinal Innitzer of Vienna ordered bells to be rung from all Roman Catholic churches when Hitler marched into the city. He was never, as far as it is known, re- buked by the Pope. That was at a time when the full scope of the Nazi horrors was still - to come, and the argument of "it may make it worse" did not arise. On the other hand, some writers point out that Pius XII was accused of sheltering Jews in the Vatican, when the Fa- scists in Italy tried to discredit him. This is true but it should be stated that nobody, not even Hochhuth himself, accuses the late Pope of lack of compassion on the purely personal level. There is more weight in the argument that Britain America and other free countries could have done much more to save the doomed Jews of Europe, at least could have tried. However, it is no defense of Pius XII to say that others in high places were equally guilty of the sin of omission. And, besides, none of the statesmen involved was the vicar of Christ. They were or- dinary mortals and blood and flesh politicians. Perhaps the most telling con- tribution to the whole contro- versy is this brief letter by Nancy Brockman in the Sunday Observer: "Your comment takes the view that idle, easy gestures such as public and vigorous in- tervention, would not have saved the Jews but would also have involved Catholics too in wholesale persecution. A pity the Church's martyrs did not have the benefit of your advice." I leave it at that. The most comprehensive wage payment and collection laws include requirements for regu- lar paydays, payment in lawful money, prompt payment if a worker is discharged or resigns and authority for the state de- partments of labor to take assignments of wage claims. 29 - THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS — Friday, July 5, 1963 50—BUSINESS CARDS LOUIE'S
