Humor It Shouldn't Hurt
Just Ease Pain of Bad News
By DAVID SCHWARTZ
(Copyright 1979, JTA, Inc.)
A Yiddish expression
gives the clue to the humor
business: "Tatti, du lachst.
An och and weh zu dein
gelechter." (Papa, you are
laughing, but woe to your
laughter.)
The Jew was wont to take
some unhappy episode and
turn it into humor, making
it to some degree palatable.
The humorist is really
most often a social critic,
who says what we don't like
to hear but what we should
hear.
Will Rogers and Mr.
Dooley said many things
about Congress, about
politics which without
the added sauce of humor
could not have been eas-
ily said.
Mark Twain was a man
much troubled by world
problems. He was concerned
among others with the
Jewish problem and wrote
about it. When Herzl con-
vened the first World
Zionist Congress, one
American who was not a
Jew was there. It was Mark
Twain!
People want to laugh. If a
fellow is very tall, we say

"How is the weather up
there?"
If he is short, we laugh at
the "little shrimp."
The short fellow has
the worst of it. What can
he do about it? He can do
I.
what Samuel
Newhouse did. He died
the other day and in his
obituary it was stated
that he was only five feet
three and was sometimes
called "a little shrimp."
So what did he do about
it?
He became one of Ameri-
ca's biggest newspapermen.
At his death he was the
owner of 30 newspapers in
the country.
Adolph Ochs was another
little fellow. But he concen-
trated on building up one
newspaper — The New
York Times. "All the news
that's fit to print" became
the slogan of The Times and
it became the newspaper
with the most news.
Speaking about Jews
and blacks, someone the
other day mentioned the
name of Julius Rosen-
wald, the Jew who made
a fortune building up
Sears Roebuck and then
devoted most of it to help-
ing blacks. He though the
blacks the most neg-
lected element of Ameri-
can society, so he concen-
trated on helping them.
Schmaryahu Lewin tried
to interest Rosenwald in
Zionism but with not much
success, although Rosen-
wald one time wrote Lewin
that he would name his new
home in Chicago The Tel
Aviv. Lewin replied that he
preferred that Rosenwald
moved to Israel and called
his new home The Chicago.
Adopts Zionist
Resolutions
JERUSALEM (JTA) —
The World Union of Jewish
Students (WUJS) became a
Zionist organization earlier
this month, when delegates
to the WUJS congress here
unanimously adopted a
series of pro-Zionist resolu-
tions for the first time in 10
years.
Among the resolutions
was one supporting the
"Jerusalem Program"
which underlines the cen-
trality of Israel. Other reso-
lutions paralleled major
principles of the Zionist
movement, including a call
upon world governMents to
recognize Jerusalem as the
eternal capital of Israel and
to transfer their embassies
to Jerusalem; a condemna-
tion of anti-Semitism; and
support of the Israel gov-
ernment's policies and the
Camp David agreements.
The organization also de-
cided to transfer its central
offices from London to
Jerusalem "because
Jerusalem and not London
is the center of the Jewish
nation and Zionism."
In previous years, WUJS
had exhibited a distinct lef-
tist anti-Zionist orienta-
tion, and its "Arab Pro-
gram" had equated the
rights of the Palestinians to
those of the Jews in Israel.
