(ANP) -0O0 ASK JUSTICE FOR U. S. MINORTriES New York, Oct 26 (CNA)— Four minority groups in the Uni j ted States, Negroes, Indians, I Mexicans and Orientals, now are asking for ‘‘that jiustiee and good will which we advocate for min orities in otheT lands,” the Ameri can Committee on Religious Rights and Minorities declared in a statement this week. The statement was issued on a background of reports from Eu rope of extension of democratic rights to the formerly expressed minorities of Western Ukraine and Byele Russia now under the protection of the Soviet’s Red Army, and of important conces sions to minorities in Roumania and in Yugoslavia. The committee expressed the belief that religious and racial prosecution was threatening to spread in the United States and chided organized religion for its failure to support the Negro and other minorities in their struggle for equal rights. Discussing the persecution of the Negro, it asserted it was im perative that organized religion should act decisively to end anti Negro discrimination. It also as sailed discriminatory practices • against Mexicans, Indians and Orientals. -—0O0 Rome, Oct. 26 (CNA) — Ad mission that the Italian forces in Ethiopia are continuing to meet sharp resistance from Ethiopian patriots was seen here this week in the release by the Italian gov * ernment of a list of Italian casu-’ alties in Ethiopia during the month of September.

J '* , ® H I I w By HI WATTS THE JEWS' WAILING WALL— JERUSALEM No doubt readers of this column have heard references to Jerusalem’s famous Walling Wall, called in He brew “Hotel Ma'arave.” But not many know why this ancient people go there to "wail.” The fact is that the wall itself is all that remains of the magnificent Third Temple of the Jews which Herod the Great built, and so stands as a symbol of the one-time power and glory of Israel. With the fall of Jerusalem in 70 A. I)., the Homan General Titus or dered the Temple razed, thus fulfill ing the Biblicul prophecy of its de struction. Yes, the .Tews I saw there actually were weeping, and I supjxrse this seu pon, just observed as the beginning of itiie Hebrew New Year 5700, brings 1 cause for more lamenting than ever* I .'cause of tlie t ragic state of the world end the Jew’s lot in particular. Never will I forget the pathetie faces of the bearded patriarchs, aged: women and young students groupedl before the wall ns I shrank to the op posite side of the narrow enclosure tot make the above sketch. Pious He brew inscriptions have been carved here ami there, and in some of the up per crevices clumps of grass contrast greenly against the huge, weather beaten stones. It seems fitting nt this time to notd briefly part of the old prayer fre quently heard there: “For the Templa that is destroyed . . . for the wallsj that are overthrown . . . for our maj esty that is departed . . . for oud great men who lie dead . . . for thg priests who have stumbled . . . fw* our kings who have despised Hk»—* we sit in solitude and mourn I” After the picnic supper was over, the Knave of Hearts said, “Now it is time for Danny and Tommy Tucker to keep their promise and sing for us.” Danny and Tommy arose and sang. Soon Emerald joined them and they sang so well that many people gath ered around. While Emerald and Danny and Tommy Tucker were still singing, a parade approached. First came the Color Guard bearing the flags of the I.and of Nod and of Sleepytown, then a brass band, followed by the Royal Guard in all their gleaming splendor. Next came a royal coach drawn by six shining black horses and behind that marched the Regimental Rand. The singing and clapping and laugh ing stopped as the Royal Parade drew near. They halted, the footman opened the door of the coach, and out stepped Old King Cole, the Merry Did Soul. A special grandstand had been built for the King, and after lie was seated, surrounded hy the Royal Guard, he commanded his three famous fiddlers to play their fiddles while Danny and Emerald and Tommy Tucker sang. The King was pleased and the spec tators enjoyed the performance. Suddenly the King stood up and pointed in the direction of the wall surrounding the Fair Ground. Again everything was quiet and all looked where the King was pointing. Ten of the King’s men jumped on ten horses and tore off at a gallop. Danny wondered what all the com motion was about, until he saw Humpty Dumpty, standing on the wall, ready to jump. Danny held his breath In fright, for he knew that If Humpty Dumpty fell off that wall, all the King's horses and all the King's men could not put Humpty Dumpty together again. Luckily, the men reached Humpty Dumpty just in time, for as hd jumped, one of the men caught hiim and carried him back to the King. Uumpty Dumpty received a severe scolding and was commanded to sit at the bottom of the grandstand where he could not get into mischief. Soon the merry-making was re sumed and everybody danced. Even the dishes danced around on the tables and one dish ran away with a spoon. Then Peter, the Pumpkin Eater, stood on top of a table and an nounced in a loud voice, ‘'Now, Ladies and tlentlemen, will be the great event of the Slecpytown Fair! You will see, before your very eyes, the cow jump over tlie moon. Whoever catches my pumpkin may sit on the cow and jump over the moon with her!” Peter threw his pumpkin into the air, and who do you think caught it? Danny! Old King Cole himself lifted Danny to the cow’s neck and told him to hold tightly to her horns. Everybody shouted good-bye while Dunny was being seated upon the cow. The cow made a great leap and they went thru the sky. They went up—-up—up, and Danny thought they would surely bump into the moon and wondered what would happen if they did. They would have bumped into the moon, too, but the man in the moon saw them coming and sank a little lower in the sky. Then old Mrs. Cow ■went sailing over it nicely and started to go down again. Danny saw the house where he lived and the cow going nearer and nearer to it. Then he saw the open window of his own bedroom. The next thing Dunny knew, the cow had jerked hei head, which made Danny topple over her horns thru the window and onto his little white bed at home. (To Be Continued) _ E. C.
