Israel, Jan. 7 UP) Nazareth Is preparing for the resumption of its ancient trade the reception of pilgrims who have been coming to this city ever since It became known through the New Testament Actually, most of the Christian holy places are concentrated in North Palestine Galllea and the nearby lake of Tiberias, Caper naum and the River Jordan, but Nazareth, the only 100 per cent Arab town in Israel, Is the center. Church dignitaries and the local population, with the cooperation of Israeli military and civil au thorities In the district, are mak ing all preparations In the town for the revival of the old pilgrim trade, the main source of income. Pilgrim traffic has been at a standstill since the outbreak of the war In Palestine. . An Intermlnlsterlal committee has been appointed which deals exclusively with pilgrim prob lems. Israeli consuls in different parts of the world have been in structed to give all facilities to applicants lor visas to Israel dur ing the holy year. However, be cause of the shortage of accommo dations, visas will be granted only in quotas of 2,000-3,000 per month. Nazareth Itself Is undergoing a thorough housccleaning. Churches, monasteries, even the streets and buildings are being whitewashed. Hog breeders Nazareth is the only place in all Israel where the raising of his non-kosher food Is permitted have been ordered to freeze all meat, and no more is to be slaughtered until the pilgrim influx. Wage Boosts In 1949 Lower Than In Previous Year WASHINGTON, Jan. 7 OP) Only one-third of the 15,000,000 unionized workers won general wage Increases last year, tne in creases were smaller tnan in 1948, and there was no "pattern." The Dresldent's council of eco nomic advisers today gave that accounting of what tne isms re cession did to labor's "fourth round" of post-war . wage in creases. "" 'The council, In a review sent to Congress along with president Truman s economic message, said the increases were far few er and somewhat smaller in amount" lhan in 1948, when a majority of organized labor won fatter paychecks. "Vnr the first time In the naRt decade, some organized workers were called upon to accept pay cuts," the council said. Despite the absence of a pal- tern, the advisers noted as one of the year's "outstanding de velopments" the growth of pen sion and welfare plans financed wholly or partly by employers. inese amouniea in a numoer of cases to "an important long range charge upon industry," the council found, and a potentially substantial increase in labor costs when added to the 50 per cent rise In the social security tax which took place January 1. The advisers estimated mat workers' wage income increased from $135,100,000,000 in 1948 to $136,800,000,000 last year. Aver age weekly earnings rose from $54.14 to $54.78. Besides the approximately a,- 000,000 organized workers who got increases, 3,0U0,00U federal employes received higher pay, as well as unorganized workers in a number of unknown but probably "well below the previous postwar Evidence Of Dependency Must Be Filed With VA Veterans In training who ac quire dependents through mar riage or birth of children should submit necessary evidence of de pendency to the Veterans Admin istration ten soon as possible, if they desire additional subsis tence allowances, the VA announ ces. If a veteran In school full-time acquires one dependent his sub sistence payments might rise from $75 a month to $105. The monthly rate is $120 for veteran trainees with more than one de pendent. On the job training sub sistence rales are $65 a month for veterans without dependents and $!0 for those with one or more dependents. The following constitute "satis factory" evidence of dependen cy: For a wife or husband, a cer tified copy of the public or church record of the marralge. For a minor child, a certified record of the birth or record of the baptismal. For an adopted child, a cer tified copy of the court record o( adoption. For dependent parents, (1) a certified copy of the public re cord of hlrth of the veteran or the church record of his baptism, and (2) an affidavit of depen dency (a VA form) filled out by the parent or parents and sworn to before a notary public. DEADLY HEAT DOWN UNDER SYDNEY, Australia, Jan. 7. (1P Three persons have died and 64 have been prostrated in a mid' summer heat wave in the Sydney area, where the temperature to day soared to 102.2 degrees, the I highest in lour years. that men love one another. ' By strange chance the Moscow Journal of Science and Life gives what in effect (though not actual ly) is the Communist answer to the president. The magazine pub. lisnes' an article saying many people In the U.S.S.R. continue to believe In God, and calling for education of the masses in the spirit of atheism. The Moscow writer declares tne struggle against religious prejudices Is one of the forms of the struggle tor uommunism. There we have presented In succinct form the pro and con of one of the fundamental points of conflict between Communism and Democracy. Indeed it may be that the outcome will pivot on this point of atheism versus reli gion. The fight over this issue Is dai ly becoming hotter. . Hitler Began On Young Aggressive dictatorships don't thrive on religion. As Commu nism puts it. religion Is the onlate of the masses. It was precisely for this reason that Hitler tried to destroy religion in Germany. Among me aocuments louna oy the allied trooos in the official German archives In Berlin was one which declared that Christi- anlty was the greatest enemy of Nazism. Hitler concentrated his main effort on the children on the ba sis that "just as the twig is bent the tree's Inclined." It'g harder to change the beliefs of the grownups; you have to catch 'em young ' I saw a good deal of Germany Just before the war, and the hold Hitler had on the young folk waa amazing. It .was more than that it was terrifying to those who realized wnat tne Fuehrer had in his evil mind. Religious Death Is Goal Tacit recognition of the Import lance of working on the young people is seen In a remark In the Science and Life article. The writer said that even amone the youth there can be found church goers in Russia. So Communism hasn't reformed all the masses. However, there is an organized offensive proceeding among the satellite countries of eastern Eu rope to eliminate religion. The drive centers on the children and is particularly intense in the schools. Communism Is building, not for today, but for years hence. Thus the struggle between the Red Ism and the churches of var lous denominations In eastern Europe is growing more bitter dally. It is an effort on -the one hand to remake the mentality of entire populations, and on the other hand to maintain the spiri tual beliefs which have run so strongly through the lives of most of the European nations. Ana oi course tne drive to proselyte among children isn't confined to Europe. We find plen ty oi it in an countries oi the western hemisphere and Asia. And It has been charged a lot of Red propaganda Is beiner ouietlv disseminated in the lower schools and in the colleges of America.
