Workmen's Circle Adopts 6-Point Personal Code on Equality NEW YORK, (JTA) — A six- point "personal code" through which every individual can "con- tribute significantly to the achievement of equal rights and equal opportunities for all Amer- icans" was adopted by the na- tional board of the Workmen's Circle, a Jewish fraternal and cultural organization represent- ing 65,000 members in 32 states, at a meeting at the Hotel Astor. The code asks members of the Workmen's Circle—many of whom live in the South — to bring their personal pressure to bear against discrimination, if it exists, in the stores in which they shop, in the banks which they keep their accounts, in their unions, businesses or pro- fessions, in community organiza- tion, in their neighborhoods and in their own homes and social l of the year which means that for contacts.

S. Simckes, a Harvard honor graduate who has taught English and is now working on his doctorate, who mastered Hebrew in Israel and translated stories by S. Y. Agnon, causes the reviewer to wonder why he had to be so morose as to pro- duce a novel like "Seven Days of Mourning," just published by Random House. The characters in this story are, collectively, so vulgar, so repulsive; there is so much more hatred than even an iota of kindness in the dealings among the constantly quarreling Shimanskys, that one wonders what a writer hopes to accom- plish with a theme like Simckes'. Even the doctor, Vossen Gleich, arouses revulsion. The manner in which Mrs. Shiman- sky treats her husband—often to a point of starving him, as he frequently walks around with his pants off—does not give the impression of normalcy. Are there really such people, anywhere, not only among Jews, who, in a period of mourning, act so beastly? Simckes writes excellently. But why such a theme? What a pity that so able a writer could not produce a more nat- ural product, a less repelling set of characters, a story with a semblance of kindness. —P. S. iNingsleg inn -g....mmwwoowm6. mom.
