June 10, 1960 2 THE WISCONSIN JEWISH CHRONICLE British Jews Protest Ending of Govt. Washington ON THE A Subsidy to Only Jewish Girls' School Week life A New and Complete Guide on Etiquette of Today Park or New York's Union Square. Attendance Increases The demonstrations are held, with increasing frequency and attendance, in the museum area crowded with tourists. Nearby is the National Archives Building where the Declaration of Independence, Constitution, and Bill of Rights are enshrined. A few hundred yards away is the U.

S. Department of Justice. A high school senior class found itself in the area. Amazed by the husky brown shirted "storm-troopers," the teen-agers listened briefly to Rockwell's anti-Jewish tirade. Then the boys and girls, mostly non-Jews, shouted "go back to Germany!" But police shoved the group back, ordering silence and "no heckling" of Rockwell.

The spirited teen-agers started singing "God Bless America." Police made them stop. A young Norwegian-American, on another occasion, became enraged as he saw the Nazi banner The Nazis taunted him menacingly. Instead of moving against his Nazi tormentors, the police turned on the anti-Nazis. He told by-stand-ers that his father had been tortured to death by the Gestapo. MILTON FBIEDMAlf Capitol Give U.S.

Black Eye of Washington. Arab diplomats apparently enjoy the rallies, if their smiles are an indication. The Ambassador of Communist Poland watched U. S. park police shove Jews at the May 29 disturbance.

He told this reporter it reminded him of "other days" in Warsaw. At one rally, police dogs were held on leash to menace anti-Nazis. A woman, near hysteria, asked: "Has this free speech business driven them mad?" She told how her parents were cremated in a Nazi concentration camp. The U. S.

Department of Interior, with public funds, constructed a rectangular enclosure to facilitate erection of the Nazi speakers' platform. No such facilities are afforded in London's Hyde THE NEW EMILY POST'S ETIQl'ETTE By Emily Post Funk Wamalls New York $5.95 The ultimate authority on American social usage and gra cious living presents a complete guide to the etiquette of today. According to Emily Post, all rules of etiquette are based on consideration for the feelings, be liefs, and sensibilities of others, They are derived from long experience and are always the common- serine thing to do in every situa tion. In other words, rules of eti quette are guides to good taste in every aspect of our lives. Our speech, manners, dress, houwhold furnishings ond even our friends are evidences of our taste, and all these are the subject of this book.

Guide to Wedding Etiquette Among the topics of interest discussed in this new edition of ETIQUETTE are: when is it all right to use slang, "going steady" and "blind dating," setting the table with mixed putterns of china and silver, parents who are over-protective, casual and kitchen entertaining, giving dinner for company in a maldless household, being an overnight guest in a city apartment, the man's role when his wife entertains, paier plates and outdoor parties, etiquette and the business executive, women In the office, the proper clothes for every occasion, choosing a birth announcement card, how to ask for and behave on a date, giving a children's party successfully, making friends in a strange city, SERVICEYOUULIKE: A Book About the Good Things in America a public inquiry in which these issues could have been investigated and resolved, the Minister has arbitrarily extinguished the school from the state system." The governors appealed in their statement, to "all those who are anxious to preserve civic liberties" to support an all-party protest after the current recess of the House. Sir David, in his Parliamentary report, said he regretted that the action would "cause disappointment to tne school's supporters." However, he said, "in the interests of the children we have to see to it that schools maintained from public funds reach a proper level of efficiency." School officials said that their demand for a public inquiry had the support of the Board of Deputies of British Jews, the Anglo-Jewish Association, the Council of Christians and Jews and representatives of the Church of England Schools system. WORLD U. Ribalow and did well enough, but the jury is still out on whether he would be more valuable as a starter or as a fireman. Sandy Koufax, the fast-balling Los Angeles Dodger, has yet to become consistent.

A Remarkable Chess Victory Let me begin by saying that of all the games in the world, I am most intrigued by chess. I've played it all my life fairly well and have been fascinated by the men who have dominated the chessboards. I have a large chess library and I often replay the games of major championships. I read Chess Review and have written, in "The Jew in American Sports," complete chapters on Emanual Lasker, Sammy Reshev-sky and Bobby Fischer. So you can sec that I am excited over the emergence of Mikhail Tal as the new chess champion of the world at the age of 23.

He won from Mikhail Botvinnik in a 24-game match which ended before the complete 24 games because Tal scored the necessary twelve and a half points in the 21st game. In all, Tal won six of the games and Bot-vinnik only two. The remaining 13 were drawn. Tel, at 23, became the youngest champion in the Twentieth Century and Botvinnik, at 48, finally met his master in the young, forceful and daring player. All-Jewish Championship The London Jewish Chronicle, half-way through the match, carried a feature story on i', calling it the "All-Jewish.

Championship in Moscow." It was pointed out that Mikhail Moses Botvinnik was Jewish, that Tal was Jewish and that Harry GolTJmbek, the umpire, who has been British champion three times, also is Jewish. Tal is the son of a Riga doctor who taught him the game when he was only six. At 11. he began to take th game seriously and in 1953 won the Latvian title. Three years ago he became the Soviet champ and in the world team chess championship in Munich in 1958 he was unbeaten in 15 games.

A year ago, when he won the right to face Botvinnik, he licked America's Bobby Fischer four times in four games and came in first in a mr-nament which included the greatest players in the world. Botvinnik first won the crown in 1948, succeeding to the title held by Alexander Alekhine, who had died. He defended successfully against David Bronstein, another Jewish star, in 1951 (winning most narrowly; it was a tied match, with the champion retaining his title under those circumstances) and then beating Vasily Smyslov in 1954. Botvinnik met Smyslov a second time in 1957 and then regained it in 1959. Now he has lot it to Tal, whom he will meet once more in 1961.

Shop Downtown, Monday, By Nazi Demonstrations in WASHINGTON A growing neo-Nazi gang. Lincoln Rockwell's "American Nazi Party," will picket the Israel Embassy and the White House on June 1 1 to protest the al-ltged Israeli "persecuion" of Nazi Gestapo Colonel Adolf Eichmann. The local Nazis have become increasingly arrogant. They are emboldened by the failure of authorities to take legal action. A ruling by the U.

S. Marine Corps that marines may participate in Rockwell's gang amazed the public. It gave the Nazis support from an unexpected quarter. The Marine Corps said its members are entitled to "free speech" and may join Nazi organizations. Marines are not free, however, to identify with Communist or extreme leftist groups.

It was pointed out by the Marine Corps that law enforcement agencies have failed to prosecute the Nazis. The Justice Department has not listed the "American Nazi Party" as subversive. District of Columbia authorities claim they were asked by an im portant local community group to avoid prosecution of the Nazis because of "free speech" consideration. Tourists Protest Tourists, tears streaming down their faces, have called on their congressmen. They protested bitterly against the anti Jewish taunts they are forced to endure from Nazi "stormtroopers." The tourists are subjected to abuse when they are forced to pass through police-protected Nazi rallies en route to the Capital's most important art gallery and museums.

Members of the Congress have criticized the local community's confused response to the local Nazi problem. The Nazis have threatened passers-by with physical violence and otherwise exploited and abused the "free speech" mantle provided to them by civil libertarians. Jews and Negroes are subjected to obscene abuse, all in the name of "free speech." One influential senator deplored what he termed an "antiquated, hush-hush, so-called quarantine policy." The "ostrich response" was inadequate, he said, citing the bold "Madison Avenue high-fidelity methods of the Nazis." Members of Congress said privately that "free speech" advocates "leaned over backwards" to shield the Nazis. They condemned the "misguided and specious" support of the Nazis by usually re sponsible elemerjs. A Breach of Peace It was pointed out that it is a breach of peace to use language inciting to riot.

The fact that Jews are the victims does not make it any less of a breach. Hod the local Nazis been thoroughly exposed in the local press and vigorous prosecution demanded, the situation would not have deteriorated to the present chaos, said a non-Jewish Congressman. He thought the existence here of "a private stormtroop battalion whether of 30 or 300 men requires immediate legal action." Communist diplomats have been attending and photographing the Nazi rallies. They relished the chance to obtain anti-American propaganda material in the heart The Wisconsin Jewish Chronicle Published vwkljr by th Wisconsin Jewish Chronicle Publishing Company, at 120 E.

Similar to Dictionary When the first edition of ETIQUETTE: THE BLUE BOOK OF SOCIAL USAGE appeared in 1922, a far-sighted reviewer predicted that it would become an American r'assic. He went on to say that it Reserved a place in every home library, right alongside the dictionary. In many ways ETIQUETTE is similar to a dictionary. As the dictionary is a guide to verbal usage and gives the his tory of words, so ETIQUETTE is a guide to social usage and explains the reasons for the "rules." As a dictionary contains every word that anybody might want to look up, so ETIQUETTE discusses every social situation imaginable.

And as a dictionary must undergo frequent revision by experts trained to appraise new trends in language, so this new edition of ETIQUETTE has just been revised by Emily Post and Emily Post Institute of which she is founder and president.

Above all, AN EPIDEMIC OF GENIUS is a book about people, making use of their intelligence and strength as they have never bevn used before, doing things their fathers would never have thought possible and winning the age-old struggle of man.

Distinguished Writer In his 18 years as a newspaperman, Ira Wolfert has carved for himself a dlstniguished place in the ranks of Amoriain journalists. He served as a combat correspondent in both the Pacific and the European theaters of wsir, and was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for his dispatches from Guadalcanal. His reputation as a writer is equally distinguished. His first novel, TUCKER'S PEOPLE, was acclaimed by critics as the best portrayal of American's depression years and as the oirtstanthng novel of 1943. (H.

and were to be sent to the Temple treasury in Jerusalem, according to Dr. Leo Kadman, curator of the museum here. Dr. Kadman. a numismatic expert, said that the treasure was apparently buried when a Jerusalem-bound tax collector's caravan decided to bury the treasure until after the war which ended with the destruction of the Temple bv the Romans three years later.

LONDON (JTA) The withdrawal of a government subsidy from the only Jewish school for girls in Britain brought charges from officials of the Jewish Secondary School Movement that the Ministry of Education had acted arbitrarily. Disclosures of the subsidy cancellation came in an announcement by Sir David Eccles, the Minister of Education in a written reply to Parliament, that he had approved the decision of the London Country Council to cease financial support of the Avigdor Secondary School at Stoke-Newington. In their statement of protest, the governors of the secondary school movement charged that the school had not been given the opportunity to demonstrate its possibilities of success. Noting that Sir David was well aware of the serious disagreement between the governors of the school and the London Country Council on vtial issues of fact," the statement said: "Instead of holding SPORTS By Harold Baseball Luck Vernon "Lefty" Gomez, the lefthander who ustd to win 20 games a year for the old New York Yankees, used to say, "I'd rather be lucky than good." While Gomez was considered to be a happy-go-lucky wildman, this phrase of his has stood up remarkably well through the years.

The latest example of what I mean is the career of Sandy Kou-fax, the Los Angeles Dodger pitcher who has Gomez speed but not his luck. (Sandy pitched a 1-hit game the other night.) Sandy is a blazingly fast southpaw who has trouble winning, even when he pitches with exceeding effectiveness. Here is what I mean. On Aug. 31, 1959, Koufax struck out 18 Giants, equalling Bob Fellers strikeout record.

Until that time he had, from time to time, controlled his quick one to win a few games. But when he made it 18, it appeared that he was on his way to greatness. It was the last game he won all year. A few weeks ago he made his first 1960 start. It was against the Philadelphia Phillies and he fanned 15 of the batters to face him.

Did he win? He did not The score was 1-1 going into the 10th inning. His 11th victim made it 500 strikeouts for Sandy in his ma jor league career, and it also made it the 12th time he had fanned 10 men or more. But he was rather wild, walking seven. Still, it was 1-1 going into the 10th inning. Then he walked one man and fielded the next batter's bunt too lafc- for a play at second.

The third batter popped up and Sandy had a chance to escape further trouble. He had no luck. A grounder got away from the Dodger third baseman, scoring one run. What followed was a sacrifice fly and a homer by Al Dark. It added up, eventually to a five-run inning and a victory for the Phillies.

Koufax had fanned 15 and lost another. Gomez knew what he was talking about. Baseball Heroics Casey Stengel, the grizzled manager of the New York Yankees, put an old thought into new words a few days before the American League pennant chase began. He was discussing a few recent trades and, naturally enough, the Herb Score-Barry Latman deal came up. Herb is the guy who once had a blazing fast ball; Barry is the Jewish twirlcr with the White Sox who has been fair, but not much more.

But Frank Lane had given up on Score and was willing to let the White Sox have him. Why? Casey Stengel said it was because Lane wanted another Jewish star for the Cleveland Indians. Al Rosen, after all, was gone now. Ted Williams said that Latman. who once was a team-made of Larry Sherry's in high school, never displayed more than average talents while Score had the equipment to be a great pitcher.

We shall see what happens now. Meanwhile. Larry Sherry has started something he wanted PARK BENCHES Advance Sale Price: 35c Convert to Convert to QJg HEAT! 5wOwv J0 AN EPIDEMIC OF GENII'S By Ira Wolfert Simon and Schuster, New York $00 336pp Time: Now.

In an age of doubt, discord and criticism about the very fundamentals of Ameritvm life, AN EPIDEMIC OF GENIUS comes upon the scene like a gust of fresh sea air. For this is a book about the good things in America, and, above all, about the remarkable genius that has possessed millions of ordinary Americans today. Here is the inspired and dramatic story of the way mux lorn Americans have discovered how to do old Jobs in new, sometimes spectacular ways, with results that are already changing our world. Researched Material First-Hand Ira Wolfert has rewssrehed his material first-hand: In Harlan County, he went below ground in the newly automated coal mines, and saw how men are putting machines to work for them and learning to live in the new world they have created. He crossed the Atkwtic on the bridge of a giant luxury liner to see how a captain takes his ship across the sea, using his instinct nnd his experience to combat the dangers of fog and collision.

He walked under rivers to watch the construction of giant tunnels and A Book for Braves' Fans Facts, figures and most interesting information more than enough to gorge the appetite of any rabid Brave fan are features of "The Fabulous Milwaukee Braves," a seven-year history of the club compiled by Bob Allen, assistant public relations director of the Braves. The book is truly a labor of love, and if there is such a thing as warmth and admiration in cold figures, Bob Allen has brought it out in his work. Almost encyclopedic in content, the book is on sale at the County Stadium and throughout Milwaukee and state cities for 60c (70c by mail). Scope of the facts and figures may be gleaned from the example of the following: In their 1.086 games the past seven seasons, the Braves scored an average of 4.4 runs per game while holding the opposition to 3 8 The average Brave of the past seven years was 6:004 and tipped the scales at 186 The 91 players to wear a Milwaukee uniform prior to the 1960 season were born in 29 states and four foreign countries New York led in "Braves producing" with nine, followed bv California and North Carolina with seven apiece. The Dodgers have proved to be the biggest drawing card at County Stadium with a total attendance of 2.406.901 The Giants are second, followed by the Cubs and Cardinals The Braves had an average paid attendance ot 1.992,312 for each of their first seven years in Milwaukee, the per date average being 28.637 for 487 dates Only seven times has the Tribe performed for a home crowd of less than 10.000 fans In seven years at County Sta dium, me ts raves won 323 games and lost 215 for a percentage of .600 On the road, their record was 308 wins and 234 losses for a .568 percentage.
