The Boss
Sir:
Jimmy Hoffa says if the labor bill passes, he will advertise the ones who voted for it. Let's hope he does. That will separate the men from the boys, the ones with guts and the ones too white-livered to face Hoffa and his racketeers. This will be good information to have next election time.

Sir:
If Senator John Kennedy, with all the power vested in him, cannot stop the hoodlumism in the arrogant Hoffa's Teamsters Union, then he should not even be considered for any higher office.
J. P. LORSCHEIDER Fort Lauderdale, Fla.
Sir:
Thank God for Jack Kennedy, who has the intestinal fortitude to put honor and his country's good above his job. (And I am a Republican.) And thank God for Ike, who also knows the meaning of honor and who also has the courage to do what he thinks best for the country. It is paramount that the President and Congress—not labor bosses and union gangsters—run this country.

The Kangaroo Habit
Sir:
Thanks to you and CBS for presenting Captain Kangaroo [Aug. 3]. It is the only "children's" show my children will watch. The local shows for wee ones present old cartoons and adult commercials, and my children walk away. I would appreciate seeing Mr. Keeshan sans Captain costume.

Sir:
I was one of the mothers who protested against the removal of this wonderful children's program. To my surprise, after looking at this show, I eventually made it a habit of sitting down with my youngster, and derived some entertainment each morning. RUTH FAIGES Newark
Sir:
So what makes you think only mothers demand Kangaroo Keeshan? I am a male adult, 32, and have been more "broken up" over this program than I was with Flash Gordon serials back in the '30s.

Anti-Zionist Rabbi
Sir:
As the wife of a rabbi, I want to congratulate you on your objective report of Rabbi Joel Teitelbaum's recent visit to Israel [Aug. 3]. You have shown fine insight into the character and beliefs of this movement.
It must be stressed that this fanatical group is not representative of authentic Judaism. To the contrary, their preachments and ways are in opposition to the basic tenets of Judaism.
MRS. BENJAMIN KREITMAN Brooklyn
Sir:
Your article on Rabbi Teitelbaum and the Hasidic community reeks of cynicism, pro-Israelism, snobbishness and disrespect. I do not necessarily agree with the rabbi or his religious beliefs, but I am glad to see someone raise his voice against the state of Israel. Before this time, anyone who criticized the state of Israel was thought to be antiSemitic. No one, obviously, can accuse Rabbi Teitelbaum of that fault.
