Pine informed the Soviet authori-
ties that they could not go on
with their relief work unless the
Zionist leaders were released and
their insistence on this point
alone finally gave the Zion

American Jewry that despite their
action toward the Zionists, the
Soviet government was distinctly
friendly towards the Jews gen

to insure them against pogroms..

 "All varieties of clans are called bivalves, because they have two oper- lures in their neck with valve or stop cock, at the outer end of each Clans have the power to open and close these valves alternately; by opening one and closing the other and expanding their shells they suck air from above and by compression of their shells they force sand above them with great rapidity.
 They are a perfect pump; in fact, our hydraulic pump might be consid- cred an infringement of. the clams patent. Their pumping apparatus is one means of their locomotion and livelihood. Thus the obtain food and at the same time dredge it above them, the force of which settles their shell into the excavation.''

 TOLD ABOUT
 BY HALFERTY

G. F. HGlferty, president of the Pio- neer Packing Company of Cordova, recently contributed to an Outside newspaper page of pictures and an article telling of the habits of the razorback clans, from which the fol- lowing excerpts are taken:
 Starting at the lower side of the 'spat' belt, the size of the clans stead fly graduates larger as one approaches low water, where the remarkable ones are found. Marketable clans are never found on the spat belt, neither is spat found at low water
 Careful study and investigation, coupled with well-known facts. lead to the belief that when the tide is high the 'spat' slowly work their way seaward from the propagating belt, beneath the sand, by the same means of locomotion by which they disappear in the sand; thus by easy stages they arrive at low tide in about one year when they are of marketable size.
 ''It must be understood that should they come out of the sand to migrate their numerous enemies would destroy them. Thus every year the propagat- ing belt is vacant to receive spawn the following June.
 'It is my opinion that razor clans spend the prime of their life at or near low water, and that when age comes on and natural death approaches they work their way into the sea beyond the breakers, burrow deep in the sand and there die, buried where the break CTS will never wash them out. It seems to be the instinct of all ami mate creatures to hide away when the time comes and die alone.
 ''The theory that clans do pass on into the sea is more evident when we know that clam diggers very seldom dig up a dead clam or empty shell. Comparatively few empty shells are found on the beach, when we consider the myriads which must die natural death. We notice the same law with the bird family, a dead one is seldom found; they hide away.

 MEMPHIS PARKS
Civic Association Backing Utilities Commissioner
 for More Fairgrounds

Plans for city park and playground improvements. the identification or present parks and methods for building up public sentiment in favor of en- largment along these lines were sub jects of interest discussed yesterday at noon at the meeting of the Civic As- sociation committee in charge of these matters.
 years work which was laid out at the meeting looks forward to a time when Birmingham will have system of parks equal to any in the United States.
 Ideas were exchanged with J. Ellis Brown, commissioner of public utilities and member of the committee. It was decided that further additions to bud gets of the city during the current year might include material increase in the present playground annual appropriation of s1S,0o0.
 Ten playgrounds will be opened at the end of the school year, said MT. Brown, but these are inadequate to meet the social needs of a city the size of Bir- mingham It is hoped that voluntary aid will be given to supplement the annual appropriation for parks and paygrounds, so that the time may soon come when Birmingham will have system of parks laid out by landscape gardeners which will rival the excellent parks or Mem phis upon which s2Oo,0oo is spent annually.
 Chairman Moore made comparisons with other cities with the idea of riyalling the greatest of them.
 Members of the committee were p. l.. Moore. chairman: Will T. Warren, Prof. " I. Pittman, Forney Brandon, j. Ei- lis Brown and Charles Harold.

Legion Commander RefuteS
 Charges of Politics About
 De Valera s Proposed Visit
ExSodiers, Led by Wounded Officers, Were Unanimous in Expressing Their Distaste for Appearance Here
 of Man Who Took Sides With the Huns

Complete Tefutation of the charges or
 so-called peanut politics against members of the American Legion, be- cause of their attitude in regard to the proposed visit of Emon Devalera, is made by Matt Murphy, commander Of the American Legion in Alabama.
 Recently the Birmingham post of the legion unanimously passed resolutions objecting to Devalera appearing in Bir- mingham to make an address. The board of city commissioners, with one exception, approved of the suggestion of the American soldiers and themselves passed resolutions saying DeYalera's s visit to the city would be objectionable.
 Later there appeared statements of others condemning the American Legion post and the city commission for its stand, accusing the former soldiers of pla ying politics. and stating that more than 200 ex-soldiers advocated the ap- pearance here of the agitator and would form a guard of honor to escort him through the streets
 In regard to these statements Com mander Murphy says:
 ssAs state commander of the American Legion and a representative of that body. it seems that statement as to the sentiments and feelings of members of the legion of Birmingham Post No. ], who were present at a meeting held by the post on April 2, pertaining to the proposed visit of DeYalera would not be amiss.
 "The meeting held by Birmingham Post No l. April g. was the largest ana most representative meeting ever held by the post, there being present aoout sG0 ex-service men.
 '.The resolution protesting against De- Valera speaking in this city was intro duced by a man and a soldier who went into the army as a private, was pro noted several times, fought on the wes- tern front and when discharged from the service was lieutenant-colonei of ar tillery.
 seThe man who spoke in behaf Of the resolution also has an enviable war rec ord.
 "The meeting was presided over by one who was wounded at least twice, and as result of one wound his leg had to be amputated. He received three or four decorations for bravery in action.
