Scrip to Israel
Reduces Prices!
Irving Jaffe, president of Scrip
to Israel, Inc., has announced to
day that Scrap to Israel will re
duce prices on most of the food
items carried in the company’s
Israel stores on NOVEMBER 1,
1953.
The reduction was made possi
ble by a recent agreement with
the Government of Israel which
granted a more favorable rate of
exchange to the company. The
purpose of the agreement was to
pass on liberal savings to Israelis
who use the self-selection Scrip
certificates to secure scarce and
vital foods not otherwise available
to them.
In addition, Mr. Jaffe announced
that his company would give, free
of charge, toys to the children of
Scrap recipients during the forth
coming Chanukah Holiday. The
toys are made in Israel for export
and, therefore, are not sold for
local Israel markets. Scrip to
Israel purchased the toys with
dollars in order to give Israel's
children a gift that would make
their Chanukah Holiday a memor
able one. The toys will be distri
buted during the month of No
vember to Scrip holders present
ing their certificates for redemp
tion at any one of Srip’s new,
modern stores in Israel.
Scrip to Israel’s main office is
located at 250 West 57th St., New
York 19, N. Y. and its Atlanta of
ficial agent is The Southern
Israelite, 627 Vfe Peachtree St., N.E.
Readers outside Atlanta ordering
Script are requested to notify The
Israelite by Adolph Rosenberg,
editor and published or to send or

SPECIAL COLUMN
New York May Have a Jewish Mayor
ideal will long be remembered.
By BERNARD G. RICHARDS
An American Jewish Press Feature
The idea of a citizen of the Jew
ish faith becoming Mayor of the
City of New York has been talked
about for many years and the
thought goes back to the time at
the beginning of the century when
Nathan Straus, Sr., a leader in the
Democratic party, was boomed for
the office. Mr. Straus was close
to the outstanding public figures
of the time and William Randolph
Hearst. his intimate friend, then
rising as a newspaper magnate
would have backed him for the
high post, if he did not want the
nomination himself, which at a
later time he received. The city of
London, England, with a much
smaller Jewish population, has
had several Lord Mayors of the
Jewish identity but such an honor
has not as yet come to the Jews
of New York.
Actually only Judge Jonah J.
Goldstein made the race for this
ofrice and that was in 1946 when
with all his ability, record" of
service to Jewry and fine collec
tion of Jewish anecdotes, he ran
and lost against William O’Dwyer.
Now in the three cornered race
(and it may be four cornered in a
few days) there are two Jewish
candidates; viz., Rudolph Halley,
President of the City Council, who
is the candidate of the Liberal
party, and who originally gained
prominence as the attorney for
the Kefauver committe, and
Harold Riegelman, who is the can
didate for the Republican party
and who until recently was acting
Postmaster of New York.
The Democratic candidate is
Rober F. Wagner, Jr, Boro Presi
dent of Manhattan, a son of an
honored political veteran, Senator
Robert F. Wagner, whose prog
ressive ideas and especially his
vigorous support of the Zionist
While Mr. Halley has addressed
some Jewish meetings his perm
anent affiliation with Jewish af
fairs is rather tenuous and hazy.
On the other hand, Mr. Riegelman
has been quite active in a number
of organizations, particularly the
American Jewish Committee. At
one time he had some association
with the American Jewish Con
gress but later cast his lot with
the Committee, in which he oc
cupies a significant position.
To what extent the mythical,
constantly denied presumably-
existing Jewish vote will affect
the outcome of the present cam
paign it is not easy to foretell. To
be sure the Jews are pretty well
divided between the different par
ties, but everything being equal,
Jews may on occasion give prefer
ence to one of their own, especial
ly when his career reflects credit
on the whole community.
