A
Rabbi Who Devoted.
Life to Ancient Law
To Be Buried Today
Funeral services for Rabbi Abba
Silverman, 67, a Washington resi
dent who failed as an inventor, a
farmer and a businessman before
finding happiness in a life com
pletely devoted to strict living ac
cording to ancient Hebrew law, were
to be held at 3 p.m. today.
The services for Rabbi Silverman,
who died Tuesday at George Wash
ington University Hospital a few
hours before the solemn chanting
of Kol Nidre ushered in the holy
Jewish holiday of Yom Kippur, wdil
be held at the Goldberg funeral
home, 4217 Ninth street N.W. Rab
bi Solomon H. Metz of the Adas
Israel Congregation and Rabbi
Zemach Green of Ohev Sholom
Congregation, wiU officiate.
Burial will be in Adas Israel
Cemetery, where the religious
leader, who had no congregation
but belonged to the sacrificing
Shomrei Shabbos Order, will be
buried next to his wife Ethel, who
died in 1944, and his son Stephen,
who died in 1936.
Remained in Seclusion.
A resident of the Washington
area for the last 40 years, Rabbi
Silverman joined the Shomrei Shab
bos order about 20 years ago. Since
then he had remained practically in
seclusion, studying ancient Jewish
manuscripts and writing treatises
on his religion. He lived at 725
Rittenhouse street N.W.
Child of Russian parents, he was
forced to flee his native land w'hen
his parents and relatives all were
slain during a po^-om. He then
settled in Washington with his bride.
For some time he attempted to
make his living as an inventor but
met with little success in marketing
ms devices. According to his fam
ily. he developed the first working
clothes line pulley, but realized
little profit from it because of his
lack of acumen as a businessman.
Moved to Farm.
After a few years of living in pov
erty here, he moved to a small farm
in Prince Georges County, in an
area now known as Chillum Heights.
He returned to Washington with
his family when an attack of polio
struck one of his two sons shortly
after World War I. He then en
tered business as a salesman for a
wholesale drygoods company, and
later went into the same business
for himself.
According to his family, he at one
time owned three such stores, but
was completely wiped out after a
series of unfortunate business ven
tures.
Efhbittered by his failure, he re
solved to devote his life to religion.
He studied for a time at a Hebrew
school in New York and then re
turned here, where he practiced a
life of discipline regimented bv the
teachings of the ancient Jewish
prophets.
Gave All to Charity.
Every cent of his meager income,
his family said, was given to
charity. In addition to his work
among the poor here, he sent two
boys through divinity school.
His family said his greatest wish
was to live the last days of his life
in the Holy Land, and to be buried
in Palestine. With that in mind,
he had purchased a small house in
Tel Aviv, paying for it with small,
carefully- hoarded monthly sums.
When the bitter strife in the Holy
Land flamed to new intensity sev
eral years ago, he donated the house
me mavui 01 me town 10 oe used
to house homeless fugitive Jews.
Surviving are three daughters,
Mrs. Bose Milstein. Mrs. Sarah
Seigel and Mrs. Lena Rolins, all of
the Washington area; a son. Julius
Silverman, Detroit; a brother. Isaac
Silverman, Washington, and seven
grandchildren.

Why Police Picked Up
Woman, 64, on Street
Maj. Robert J. Barrett, superin
tendent of police, will be asked to
explain why a 64-year-old grand
mother was taken to the 9th
precinct Saturday night in a police
patrol wagon because she was un
able to convince two foot patrolmen
she was not "lost and confused.’’
Mis. Cecil E. Rhodes, 2408 Thir
tieth street N.E., said her mother,
ivii s. iMva juavis, is an arthritic—
which affects her gait—and suffers
from a nervous impediment of
speech. Mrs. Rhodes said she will
lodge her complaint with Maj. Bar
rett becayse she considers that her
mother was “humiliated" by the l ido
from a bus stop at Thirteenth and
H streets N.E. to the police sta
tion in the patrol wagon.
C&pt. John J. Jeffries of the
9th precinct said it was customary
for foot patrolmen to call for the
patrol wagon to take persons to
the precinct station. If a scout car
had been involved in the incident,
Mrs. Davis would have been driven
to the station in it. But a patrol
man has no other means of trans
portation, he added.
Was Waiting for Bus.
Mrs. Davis had been to a nearby
motion picture theater and was
w’aiting for a bus when Policemen
Henry J. Peterson and Walter F.
Shepherd noticed her.
The account of the incident given
by Capt. Jefferies, after an investi
gation, differs with what Mrs. Davis
says happened. '
Mrs. Davis, a w’idow, said she
W'atched the tw!o policemen trying to
arrest a drunk. The policemen had
called for the wagon from an ad
jacent patrol box, Mrs. Davis told
her daughter, but while waiting for
it to arrive, the prisoner broke away
and escaped.
Then, Mrs. Davis declared, the
policemen approached her and
“hustled” her into the wagon and off
to the precinct station.
Capt. Jefferies said Pvts. Peterson
and Shepherd did not call the patrol
WflPnn for annthof nriermor 'T'U
were walking their beat, Capt. Jef
feries said, when they approached
Mrs. Davis at the bus stop because
she appeared confused. They were
unable to understand Mrs. Davis’ at
tempt to give her name and address,
he said, and decided to “bring her in
for her own protection.” They then
called for the wagon, he said.
Drunk Man Reported.
While waiting for the wagon.
Capt. Jeffries said, some one told
the policeman that a man was lying
drunk in a nearby doorwoy. Pvt.
Shepherd shook the man, Capt.
Jeffries said and found that he was
asleep but not drunk. He was sent
on his way.
At the station house, Corpl. Dewey
H. Mayer took charge of Mrs. Davis.

resentative Hartley, Republican, of
New Jersey, co-author cf the Taft
Hartley labor law, says he plans to
hold hearings early next year for
1 the purposes of strengthening the

ing.
"It ought to be a Federal offense
to keep a man-from his job," Mr.
Hartley said last night in address
ing an institute sponsored by the
Indiana and Indianapolis chambers
of commerce.
"If any changes in the law are
made—and I believe few will be
made in the next Congress—they
(should further safeguard the right
to work," the chairman of the
House Labor Committee added.
Mr. Hartley said the law “ac
tually grants new rights to the
workers while it sets up protections
against abuses of the labor barons.”
He criticized the Wagner Act,
amended by the Taft-Hartley law.

was lopsided, and second, because
it was administered in its earlv
stages at. least as though the Na
jtional Labor Relations Board was
a recruiting agency for the CIO ”
Mr. Hartley urged employers to
Inform their employes of all phases
| of the law, adding, "If you fail to
‘do it, you are letting down the men
who-voted it into effect.”
