Nazareth Prepares
To Again Handle
Pilgrim Traffic
NAZARETH. 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

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

and in the colleges of America.
