It has been re-printed in several church publications and Jewish newspapers.) " 'Jews, go home!' Well now, this is nothing new. Never in the past have you taken this gentle suggestion to move on. But heaven for- bid, suppose just once you thought that expression of a few sick people actually ex- pressed the conviction of all the people of this wonderful lind of ours, and all of you started to pack your bags and leave for parts un- known. "Just before you leave, would you do me a favor? Would you leave your for- mula for the Salk vaccine with me before you decide weren't around to give as much as you have given us. to leave? You wouldn't be so heartless as to let my children contract polio. `And please, have pity on us; please show us the se- cret of how to develop such geniuses as Einstein and Steinmetz and oh, so many others who have helped us all.. After all, we owe you most of the A-Bomb, most of our rocket research and perhaps the fact that we are alive today, instead of looking up from our chains and from our graves to see an aging, happy Hitler drive slowly up in one of our Cadillacs. "On your way out, Jews, will you do me just one more favor? Will you please drive by my house and pick me up, too? I'm not sure I could live too well in a land where you If you ever leave, love goes with you; democracy goes with you; God goes with you. Just pull in front of my house, slow down and honk because, so help me. I'm going with you, too." A wise man said once, "When praised excessively, relax and enjoy it." So be it.

Kook One reason why ornamen- tal cursing gives pleasure to Jews is that since fighting was so despised, verbalized hostility came to be corre- spondingly prized. Con- sider: If you break my jaw, you have merely demon- strated the power of your muscle—which an animal, ignoramus or barbarian can do. If, instead, you hurl a juicy execration at me, you act like a man, not a beast; you use the wits God gave you – instead of fists, feet, teeth, claws or fangs.. —Leo Rosten U.S. Doctors Want Israel to License its Podiatrists "The authorities of the BROOKLINE, Mr SS.- state of Israel have failed to The American Physicians license the podiatrist," the Fellowship, Inc., for the Is- APF added, "resulting in rael Medical Association, less than optimum medical has called upon the state of care for many patients who, Israel to license Israeli lacking preventive treat- practioners of podiatry. ment, may have to undergo According to the APF amputation. statement, the podiatrist has unusual expertise in the AJCongress: Ban care of the foot and is li- censed to practice in every -Ethnic Data on state in the U.S. The dura- Job Application tion and degree of podiatry training is almost on the NEW YORK—The Ameri- same level as that of the can Jewish Congress has physician. urged the Civil Service Every major hospital in Commission to scrap a plan the U.S. has staff podiatrists to require federal employ- whom the APF believes are ees and job applicants to especially valuable in pre- supply data about their venting amputations among race, ethnic background and patients with diabetes and sex. other circulatory diseases.
