TROOPS SENT TO
 RESCUE GARRISON
General Tension in Jeru= salem Lessens With Ar=
 rival of British Cruiser,

Jerusalem, July 9-(UP)-British troops and Palestinian policemen were dispatched today to the res- cue of police garrison at Shelf ramr, near Haifa, under siege by armed bands of extremists.
 No details of the attack on the garrison were available but it was believed here that the attacking bands were composed of Arabs.
 The general tension was less be- cause of the arrival of the British battle cruiser Repulse at Haifa and the prospect that two battalions of British troops would arrive from Egypt soon.
 Eloquent of the terror that gripped the people after week of rioting, however, was the scene in city streets. In Jerusalem, the streets were nearly empty and to- day one British constable and one Palestinian constable rode on top of each bus that went through the city.
 British troops showed signs of strain after days of vigilance. Brit ish policemen had been on duty between l6 and 18 hours day, be- cause of the nervousness of Pales- tinian police, and were nearing exhaustion.
 It was reported without confir- nation that British authorities were considering the deportation of a number of the leaders of the Zion Reyisionist organization to the Seychelles Islands, far down in the Indian Ocean, in the belief that they were iiistigators of the cur rent rioting. A number of Arab ledaers were sent to the Seychelles a year ago.
 Reports of damage to railroad telephone wires and the Irak- Haifa oil pipe line continued to arrive nere. Snipers took pot shots at pe- destrians in Arab and Jewish vil- lages.
 London, July 9-CUP)-The gov- er1ment has ordered the 1lth Hus- sars armored car regiment to Pal estine from Egypt, in addition to the First Battalian Irish Guards and First Battalion Essex Rifles, which previously had been ordered to go there to aid in suppressing disorders, it was announced today.

PRAIIA, Czechoslovakia, May 31.--
While grateful for international SYM
pathy and assurances of support,
Czechs nevertheless are relying pri-
marily on themselves to prevent dis
memberment of this postwar republic
by Germany and encircling neighbors
n Publication last night of DEGREES
calling for compulsory military, pre-
military or civil air defense training
Of the whole population between the
ages Of 6 and go was another step in
the direction of self-help.
At the same time Premier Milan
Hodza's government took measures to
avoid the appearance of carrying a
chip on its shoulder. The foreign
office informed the German minister
that Czechoslovak military pilots who
+Qew over German territory recently
had been disciplined, and that neu-
tral zone on this side of the border,
over which Czechoslovak pilots are
forbidden to fly, had been widened
to miles.
Training Provisions.
The compulsory military training
DEGREES provided:
Seventy hours military training an
nually for boys from 6 to II, not in
school, and 90 hours annually there
after until they enter military service.
Forty hours first aid and air de-
fense training for girls 6 to 81, and
80 hours annually thereafter until
fhe age of 80.
Men and women 80 to so liable
for 80 hours annually of civil air de-
fense training.
Authorization to military authorities
20 erect special training camps and
provide preliminary instruction in
craftsmanship and advanced courses
in handling all modern weapons.
Talks Expected to Resume.
Meanwhile, conversations designed
TO achieve compromise agreement
between Germans and Czechs were ex-
pected to be resumed today, with Pre-
mier Hodza receiving two Sudeten
German members of Parliament. Real
optimism as to the outcome of these
peace parleys, however, was compara-
lively scarce.
! Another fortnight of electioneering
Yaced the country as leaders studied
the results of Sundays balloting in
preparation for the June u elections.
The Henlein party claimed its big
gest victory to date in the Sunday
municipal elections, 922 per cent of all
German votes. This was an increase
from SO per cent in the voting the
previous Sunday. Pro-government
newspapers admitted about IS per cent
OF the German vote has gone for Herr
Eenlein.

WHAT'S WHAT ABOUT
SOCIAL SECURITY

Under the old-age insurance
provisions of the Social Security
Act, nothing over $4,000 a year
from any one employer counts to-
ward benefits.
For instance, a man VINO is paid
$4,000 a year as an employee OF
one firm and is employed at that
salary for y years between 1886
and the time he reaches the age
of $50 will calculate his old-age
insurance payments on total earn
ings of $50, 0O0-and not on his
actual salary earnings of $4,000.
Another man who works for the
same firm at a salary. less than
$4,000 a year, should calculate his
old-age insurance benefits on the
on full amount of his salary
earnings.
A worker, who is employed by
two or more different firms, cal
culates his old-age insurance ben
efits on salary earnings up to
$4,000 a year from each firm.
Suppose a linotype operator,
who is employed by a newspaper
and also does part-time work as
an employee of a job printing
shop. earns $4,000 year as a
newspaper employee and $4,000 a
year as an employee of the print
ing concern. He works 10 years
for both firms, between 1886 and
the time he reaches the age of SIS.
On the wages he is paid by the
newspaper, $4,000 a year will be
credited to his Social Security

HE DEFEATED HIMsELF

J
HISTORIANS lay, the blame for
L L James C. Blaine's defeat to =
number of men. But the fact is thai
Blaine defeated hinself-with the
aid of Roscoe Conkling.
It started when both men were
young congressman. One day in
1866 the New Yorker, who had been
Elording it over the lower house, be.
came engaged in dispute with
the Maine representative and DE-.
cleared haughtily: IF the member
from Maine had the least idea how
profoundly Indifferent 1 am to his
opinion upon the subject under de.
bate, 1 think he would hardly take
the trouble to express it,
Blaine rose and, facing Conklins
delivered this speech: "As to III.
gentleman's cruel sarcasm, I hops
he will not be too severe. The con.
tempt of that large-minded gentle
man is SO willing; his haughty
ldisdain, his grandIoquent swell,
his majestic, supereminent, over
powering turkey gobbler strut has
been so crushing to myself and
all the members of the house that
i know it was an act of the great
est temerity to venture upon a con-
troversy with him. But, sir, know
who is responsible for this. 1t is
not his fault. It is the fault Of an.
other. That gifted and satirica!
writer, Theodore Tilton of the New
York Independent, spent soms
weeks in this city recently. His
letters published in that paper en-,
ibraced, with many serious state
ments, little jocose satire, a part
of which was the statement tina.
the mantle of the late Winter Da.
Wis had fallen upon the member
from New York. That gentleman
took it seriously and it has given
his strut additional pomposity. The
resemblance is striking. Hyperion
to a Satyf; Thersites to Hercules;
mud to marble; dunghill to dia-
mond; a singed cat to a royal
Bengal tiger; a whining puppy to
a roaring lion"

TEXTILE RECOVERY
TO COME SLOWLY.
Earnings Outlook for Most
Firms Not Favorable,
Review Declares.
Special Dispatch to Tbs Star.

Special Dispatch to This Star.
NEW YORK, Feb. 1e.-Although the
textile industry appears to be nearing
the end of the defiation cycle which
began last spring. improvement will
be slow to develop. and earnings pros
poets for most companies In the in
dustry are not favorable, according to
current survey by the Standard
Statistics Co.
Operations in most textile lines con-
tinue sharply curtailed because of the
failure Of demand from distributors to
improve appreciably and the desire
Of the mills to limit inventories. While
distributors stocks IN certain lines
may be approaching levels which will
make early reordering imperative,
there is every reason to believe that
mill customers will follow a cautious
buying policy over early future months,
with purchases confined closely to
actual needs.
The cautious buying reflects the de-
moralization of the price structure.
There are evidences that the read
justment in fiber prices has been
largely completed, and enforced liqui-
dation of swollen inventories by pro-
cessors and distributors has, in some
cases, pushed wholesale prices below
the actual cost of production. Never
theless, until they are convinced that
this type of liquidation has ended, dis.
tributors will continue to be reluctant
to re-enter the market, even though
retail demand has held up relatively
we'll in most areas and the well-sus-
tanned retail buying would ordinarily
encourage purchases by secondary
sources.
The usual January clearances proved
effective in reducing retail inventories
to more desirable proportions, but re-
tail prices are unlikely to reattain the
levels which prevailed before those sales
for some time. Considerable progress
has already been made in repricing
merchandise in line with current re-
tail conditions. but retail prices gen.
orally have not yet fully reflected the
drop in primary markets, and further
adjustments are in prospect. SUBJ
stantial reductions have been effected
in mems clothing. womens dress wear
particularly rayon lines. silk hose
and numerous household staple goods
