Hodding Carter Opens
Auspicious '49 Guttural
Series On October 12th
Wt V
a :
Hodding Carter, liberal Southern^ editor, will open our
Jewish Community Center Cultural Series on Wednesday,
October 12th, at 8 p. m., at San Jacinto Senior High School
auditorium.
-Mr. Carter, whose liberal approach has been voiced in
a pair of npvels and in a geopolitical study of the “Lower
Mississippi,” is best known for his fearless work as editor
of the Delta-Democrat-Times, in Greenville, Mississippi.
Louisiana-born, he attended college in New England,
where the groundwork was laid for his sympathetic ap-
proach to the problem of
the Negro in the South. .
When, he .returned to the
South, he began writing for.,
a series of small newspap-
ers, in .opposition to such,
fiqhly entrenched reaction-
aries as Huey P. Long and
Theodore Bilbo.
To Hodding Carter, the
South is not a section curs- .
ed with inhabitants who are
intolerant or brutal. He
views the backward condi-
tions and the prevalent rac-
ial prejudice of the region
in a discussion of the fost-
ering of the one-crop sys-
tem and the accompanying
formation of the Great
Slaveocracy as it has taken
place.
The Southerner has always been regarded as a pleasant,
restful, and slow moving fellow. Mr. Carter fails to typify
this average Southerner. Far from it; he carries out a
number of activities in high gear, what with novels and
articles, a newspaper, and lectures, which always prove
to be provocative.
The appearance of Hodding Carter here is one of the
most eagerly anticipated events of the local lecture sea-
son. It has been chosen to launch this year’s Jewish Com-
munity Center.Cultural Series with the expectation of
carrying on the high standards of past performances.

JERUSALEM. (JTA)—Catholic Church circles are pre-
paring a "minimum plan" for a solution of the Jerusalem
problem which would be acceptable to the Vatican, it was
learned here this week. Although details of the plan are
not available, the following broad outlines are laid down
in the proposal:
1. A permanent United Nations committee should be
appointed to deal with the Holy Places. Both Israel and

Emann El Brotherhood
Dance To Bo Hold On
Sunday, October 16th
Old man weather plus grand-
father “big wind” combined to
play tricks in Houston this Yom
Kippur. As a result of this com-
bination the Annual Yom Kip-
pur Night Dance sponsored by
the Emanu El Brotherhood was
postponed. Dance enthusiasts
were disappointed, but it was
foolhardy to hold the dance
with the hurricane expected to
hit the city anytime before mid-
night.
Atttng upon the advice of
the weather prognosticators, the
Dance Committee decided to
postpone the Dance for Mon-
day night. It was a heart-break-
ing decision because the ad-
vance ticket sale pointed to a
capacity crowd and the Annu-
al event has become a must on
the social calendar.
A NEW DATE HAS BEEN
SET FOR THE DANCE — A
date which will combine the
festivities of the holiday with
the spirit of dance muse. The
date is Sunday. October 19th
and marks the close of the Suk-
kos festival.
So circle this date on your
calendar and be with the E-
manu El Brotherhood on this
annual festive occasion. The
time is 8:30 and the invitation
is open to all. The Dance will

NEW YORK. Sopi. 30. (JTA)—Central fund raising
agenda* of American Jewish communities increased their
allocations to national and overseas agencies from four
percent to 75 percent in the last twenty years, while the
proportion to local agencies declined sharply during the
same period from 89 to 17 percent, according to a survey
just completed by the Council of Jewish Federations and
Welfare Funds.
& actual 1948 dollar disbursements, the overseas agen-
cies received more than 200 times the amount allocated
in 1929, while local agencies

mittee on all matters concern-
ing the Holy Places.
2. Both governments would
sign concordats with the Vati-
can and other denominations
to protect the religious groups’
extraterritorial rights In Jeru-
salem.
3. The Holy Pisces will not
be subject to the jurisdiction of
the courts of either govern-
ment.
4. An inter-consular commit-
tee would be appointed to sup-
ervise the Holy Places. The Ca-
tholics would have a majority
on such s body.
tives would be appointed to
supervise the Holy Places. The
Catholics would have a majori-
ty on such a body.
5. Two Christian representa-
tives would be appointed to
both the Jewish and Arab mun-
icipalities established in Jeru-
salem, regardless of the num-
ber of Christians living in the
area of the respective munici-
palities.
6. Free access to the Ho£r
Places would be guaranteed.
It is not yet known whether
this plan will be submitted to
the U. N., but what is evident
is the line of reasoning which
seeks to establish a system of
extraterritoriality in effect in
this city under Turkish admin-
istration until 1911.

that the Russians have shown
increased interest in Jerusal-
ems affairs. It is recalled here

times the amount allocated in

revealed.
These changes are related to
the formation of central com-
munity welfare funds during
the 1930’s, and the growing
overseas needs which began
during those years.
Analyzing the trends in vol-
ume of five fields of local ser-
vice, the C. J. F. W. F. survey
also found that there have
been continuing increases in
volume of activity in the ex-
panding fields of homes for the
aged and Jewish general hos-
pitals. Service declines were
shown in family service and
clinic care. The report also not-
ed that, despite a decline in
child care services, a “sizeable
