There Is the traditional Passover prayer: "This year we are slaves, next year free men." ' Jews in Israel feel themselves already free. , On Passover there is the fervent wish: "Next year In Jerusalem." Almost 100,000 Jews are al ready in Jerusalem. More are likely to settle there. And the rest of the Jews in Israel can go to Jerusalem whenever they desire. But religion is a hot topic in Israel today. Opinions differ sharply about the degree In which Mosaic tradition snouia re incor porated otticlaiiy into tne state law, the educational system and public life in general. Agreement is being sought. It probably will be brought about by a working compromise be tween those who believe that re ligious observance should be writ ten into the law of the land and those who lean to separation of synagogue and state. The orthodox Jews in Israel fear that the younger generation may estrange itself more and more from Jewish religious life. As a matter of fact this already is apparent in many of the youn ger settlers and factory workers, and among the Soclalrst groups. For instance, the leftist Mapam party vehemently opposes the .word "God" being written Into the preamble of the Israeli Con stitution now being drafted. Most Favor Tolerance But Jews who want complete identification of religious and na tional legislation are a minority in Israel. Of the 120 delegates In the Israeli parliament, only 16 are members of the so-called re llclous bloc. On the other hand only the 19 Mapam delegates and tne two communist deputies could be listed as anti-orthodox. Most members of parliament are' for mutual tolerance and "every body as he likes," a policy of free dom of conscience and religious opinion. On the spot are the members of the chief rabbinate. They are called upon to decide such ques tions as whether theater tickets can be bought on the Sabbath, or whether it is Dermlssable to drive even military cars on the day of rest. Pious Jews won't travel by ve hicle on Saturday or touch any money. It is even forbidden to switch on an electric light.. Rabbi Maimon, the Israel min ister of religion, and other lead ing religious scholars are follow ing admonition of Richard Uzlel: "Kll echad lephi llbbo" (every, body should act as his heart tells him to do). Thus in many settlements Im portant farm work is carried out on the Sabbath, the women do urgent housework, in towns a few restaurants remain open. Taxis operate and essential serv ices for supply of water and elec tricity continue. Many Jews here live outside these problems. They don't care about Sabbath or dietary laws. ' But many others are asking whether the chief rabbinate can still postpone the official recogni tion of a more free interpretation of the Mosaic law given 3,500 years ago under quite different circumstances.

Phone 374 Suit Yourself at Jot Richards Ho: safety -circle' driving cuts down accidents '"Know your safety-circle!" is an important lesson taught Standard of Cali fornia drivers ... perhaps it can be helpful to you. Your safety-circle is the distance you need to meet sn emergency situation a car stopping suddenly ahead, for example. Our drivers get t special test which tells them exactly how fast they react, but in general, it takes the average person t full second to see 1 hazard, think what to do and act. So, driving on a clear road, it 30 miles an hour, you should stay at least 7 car lengths behind the car ahead; when you drive 45 miles an hour, stay behind 13 car lengths. More than 3,000 Standard drivers have studied this snd many other safety principles in our Driver Training Program, besides pass ing thorough visual' examinations. Last year, they drove 41 million miles with an accident rate 60 lower than the national average for trucking fleets. I
