Kttt, 74. Burr Slmnnt, 7S. The number of visits and phone inquiries at the various armed forces recruiting off- flees in Syracuse increased dramatically -this week, following Monday's draft lottery drawing. Recruiters for all branches of the service reported an increase in interest, if not in commitments, especially by men whose birthdays came up in the lower third of the lottery drawing. These are the men most likely to be drafted under the new system.

B.M.I Joseph P. Wick, supervisor of the Syracuse Coast Guard sub-recruiting office said he had received 50 calls a day since Monday, compared to perhaps 10 a day before the lottery drawing. He described one recruit, with a low number in the lottery drawing as being "panicked and shaken." Not only are more men coming into each of the recruiting offices on the second floor of recruiting complex in the O'Donnell Building, 321 Erie Blvd. W. but according to S.

Sgt. Ron L. Marino, in the Air Force Recruiting Office, the young men are "less defensive" about military service when they come in. Because of the lottery, they know where they stand, he explained. "They've accepted the idea of service most of them have good attitudes," he said.

He said he considered the lottery a "a big success" because it clarified the status of draft-age men. CWO Roger Dionne, administrator of Navy Recruiting for the Syracuse area, said interest had picked up especially among college students who are potential Officer Candidate School applicants. He said there was a less of an increase among men considering regular enlistment programs. Remarks by a -a young men visiting the recruiters reflected the recruiter's statements. A Syracuse University sen- a lor, in business administration with a low lottery number (84), said before the lottery he was considering attending graduate school or going to work.

Because of the lottery, he now plans to enlist, he said although he added he was still looking for alternatives to military service. He said he was deeply impressed by the sincerity of the recruiters -and surprised by it. He especially cited the Marine Corps.

Unashamedly, I say that I cried on that fateful Sunday, Dec. 7, 1941, when the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor and left it in all but a shamble, 1 Twenty-eight years later, I can still recall vividly the feelings thatTie- set me as first reports of the "sneak assault" came filtering into my home by radio.

What did I do? I shook and trembled as many thousands of others probably did. It meant war, none doubted that. I phoned friends. I wanted to be sure my ears weren't deceiving me. They, too, were listening to their radios.

They, too, had heard what I had heard. They were as upset as I was and shared similar thoughts. The enormity of the damage, the death toll so great, the loss of so many ships all of put together with the unhappy outlook on what was to follow made the day dreadful. It brought tears to many, I am sure, besides myself, and it is possible some may have been even more visibly affected. As I remember Pearl Harbor Day, the first electrifying news of the attack came about 1:15 or 1:20 p.m.

The initial reports were sketchy, but were followed by more complete ones. Enough information was given to provide a fair conception of the destruction. It was hard to believe it had really happened. In my case, my feelings were of grief for those killed, sympathy for those injured and maimed and hatred for the enemy. I confess I had a difficult time controlling myself in light of the ghastly reports that made that Sunday a day never to be forgotten.

Looking back, out of all the grief, sadness and uncertainty about more attacks, two events stand out. One was the almost immediate declaration of war on Japan by Cana- da, which acted swiftly according to the terms of a treaty between our country and the dominion. The other was the broadcast to the nation later in the day by President jji Franklin Roosevelt in which he said, "This day will live in infamy." It was the first time I had heard the word used. Recorder, Tapes Taken A Syracuse University student yesterday told police thieves stole a tape recorder and 11! tapes from his car while it was parked at Booth Garage, 501 Comslock Ave. The student, James H.

He explained that they had not hedged about his chances of avoiding Vietnam service in the Marines. Most marines serve in Vietnam, he said they told him. 0. D. Holland, 19, of 519 Cortland a high school graduate and Carrier Corporation employe, said the lottery was a factor in his plans.

Also the holder of a low lottery number, Holland said that he now planned to enlist in a branch of the service. He had made previous visits lo the recruiting office, he said, but also had been considering attending college in September. Now he will enlist, he said. Unlike the Syracuse University student, Holland was resigned to Vietnam service. He "wouldn't try to avoid it," he said.

Maj. Julian Amador, executive officer (or the Main Army Becruiting office based in Syracuse, said he hadn't received any indication from the unit's field offices regarding rale increases in enlistments as yet. The Syracuse office's territory covers all of the state outside of New York City.

THE POST-STANDARD Dec. 6,1969 7 Manuka Inspires Minority By RAMONA BOffDEN i "The festival' of Hanukt arose out of the struggle of jjj minority and their achieve- HI ment. This festival and'cele- jij bratlon should inspire us to rally our spirit and determi- ii nation as one of the world') III active, creative minorities.

We have always stood for what is right in spite of public opinion. We Jews have not been a silent majority, but a creative minority," said Rabbi Harvey Goldscheider. spiritual leader of the Temple Beth Sholom, last night in the Sabbath eve service. "Yesterday ushered in the first day of tlie festival of Hanuka. Tonight is the second day of this eight-day festival which commemorates the first rcorded war for religious- liberty.

This was not a wac for political issues or territorial gain but it was fought for the right to worship and commit one's self to one faith in spite of the will of the majority," he said. The rabbi traced the background of this observance saying it was the Greek-Syrian king Anliochus, who in his effort to unify and expand his kingdom, instituted Hellenistic culture in each of his conquered cities, one of which was Jerusalem. Of all the subject nations, the Jews were the only people to rebel against the imposition of pantheism. They remained true to their Torah and refused to be absorbed, arose a small group of priestly people who fought against this Syrian emperor. It was they who drove out the pagans, cleansed and restored the temple, rededicated it to their faith and rekindled the menorah.

Each night of these eight days as we light a candle, we form a kind of eternal chain of lights in the rights of minorities for religious freedom," he said. concept of a minority is a pressure and a value which has permeated our people from the very beginning to this present lime. Those who did not have the strength to stand up for their faith were assimilated into the culture of the aggressor. But we who are here today are not their descendants," said the rabbi. "Why remain a minority," asked the rabbi, "when it is easier to become a part of culture of the majority?" "There are two basic reasons for resisting.

One that values and truths are never determined by numbers. And a second reason for remaining in the minorities is because in ages of spiritual decline it is the small bands of staunch people of faith who have been able to preserve their heritage. "Today, facing the decline of a great deal of our morality, which tolerates sex permissiveness, if there will be any code of fidelity to remain or any high standards, It will be because a minority will reject the mores of the market place. It is the strength of a minority which can maintain, in a period of disruption, some of the basic values and teachings of their heritage. This is the heritage it is our responsibility to continue," he said.

ill I think back on this as one of his "finest hours," as he sought to reassure a trembling nation that all it had ijj Yes, it wasn't tasy to get through I that day 28 years ago and, no, it won't 1 be easy to forget it tomorrow!
