Henry Chairman , History Department , BIOLA College Orthodox Jews Plan Expansion An accelerated expansion of all phases of Orthodox Judaism in the next ten years, including the develop ment of 1,000 new congregations and the doubling of Jewish day schools in this country was predicted recently by Moses I. Feuerstein of Brookline, Massachusetts, president of the Union of Orthodox Jewish Congregations of America, before 1,000 delegates at tending the Union’s sixtieth anniver sary national biennial convention held recently in Atlantic City, New Jersey. The Union’s president also forecast the establishment of a world union of Orthodox Jewish congregations. He said that the 1,000 new synagogues in the United States would be developed primarily in suburban areas “ to meet the needs of the constantly growing Jewish Orthodox population.” He added that these religious institutions “ will have the Jewish form of prayer, providing separate seating for men and women.” The anticipated growth in the number of Jewish day schools from the present 260 to more than 500 will include a substantial increase in the number of Jewish high schools he said. He added that this growth “ will be particularly notable on the West Coast.” Scientists have made another signi ficant achievement in the develop ment of an ultraviolet-sensitive tube about the size of an index finger which can detect simultaneously fire, smoke, and combustible vapors. Devel oped by a team of scientists at Minne apolis-Honeywell R e g u l a t o r Com pany, it is said to make possible warn ing devices more accurate and versatile than any now available. The tube can be used to detect potentially explosive gases that sometimes accumulate in coal mines, to serve as a watch-dog to assure greater heating system safety, or as the heart of a new fire detection system to provide faster warning than is now possible. Existing devices are handicapped by functioning as single sensing elements. They are either fume detectors, smoke detectors or vapor detectors. The new tube would work with an amplifier circuit to add up the impulses of electrical energy New Tube Defects Fire, Smoke, Gases generated by the tube as it counts ultraviolet rays. When the rate of the impulses exceeds a specific rate, an alarm would be sounded. 100 M illion Now in Peiping M ilitia Marching in step with the estab lishment of people’s communes in Communist China is the “ everyone a soldier” movement. The home guard organization, described as a defense force against invasion by “American Imperialists,” had enlisted nearly one- sixth of China’s 650,000,000 people by the middle of October, according to reports reaching Hong Kong. And like all home defense forces, raised at short notice, it is said to have been drilling with sticks and snatching m i l i t a r y instruction in between stretches of work in field or factory. Reports now coming out of China tell of tremendous enthusiasm among the citizen soldiers. In Shantung Province, for instance, 60,000,000 militiamen now have rifles in one hand and hoes in the other. Their order of the day, says the Peiping newspaper Jenmin Jihpao, is: “To take military lessons at noon and in the evening; to use land beside the fields as a parade ground; to practice dressing ranks while going up a slope; and to prac tice aiming three times before and after every meal.” In Fukien Province, which has a population of 14,000 000 nearly all men and women between the ages of 16 and 50 have joined militia units. In Hupeh a “ drilling- before dawn” drive has been in prog ress among militia men trying to catch up on their training. One of the advantages to be drawn from this program is that if “ every citizen is a soldier,” more military disciplines and control also can be exercised over agri culture and industry through the communes.
