BERLIN, Jan. 14.-Members Of
the Intergovernmental Refugee
Committee, headed by George Ru-
blee, American executive director,
determined today to remain in Ber-
lin over the week end in hope of
reaching some agreement with the
German government for evacuation
of at least part Of Germany's 700,-
900 Jews.
Mr.. Rublee conferred today with
Reichsbank President DR.. Hjalmar
Schacht by telephone. but the ne
gotiators did not meet.
Discussion centered around DR..
Schachts proposal to finance jew
ish emigration from the proceeds
of increased German exports, which
he would accomplish through an
international loan and lifting of any
anti-Nazi trade boycotts. Undis-
closed counter-proposals have been
advanced by Mr.. Rublee.
While efforts to get Jews out of
the Reich continued, the ministry of
education moved to fill gaps in the
medical field caused by the ousting
of Jewish physicians and dwindling
interest of students in the medical
profession.
University medical courses were
ordered shortened by almost two
years. After April l, 1899, doctors
will be permitted to practice after
five years training instead Of the
nearly seven years now required.

PostaIization hearinq
b. the Associated Press,

By the Associated Press.
The Interstate Commerce Com
mission refused yesterday to reopen
the Eastern passenger fare case
to permit John A. Hastings to pre-
sent his plan for "postalizing'
transportation.
The commission, in rejecting the
Hastings petition, merely said good
cause appeared for its action.
Mr.. Hastings, former New York
State Senator, proposed to base
passenger fares on a zone-much
like the Post Office Department
employs for mail-instead of a mile
age basis. Under his proposal. fares
within zone would range from 81
to SIS, depending on which of five
classes of service a passenger took
Under it, it would be possible to
go from New York to Chicago by
coach for 81.
Eastern railroads increased their
coach fare from 2 cents to rs cents
mile last July. Reports recently
have been heard in railroad circles
that the roads were considering q
return to the old fare.

Timber|and Owners
Urged 10 Conform
To Forest Policy
SiIeox Soys Alternative
Is More Control
Over Areas

By the Associated Press.
The Forest Service declared yes
terday that If private ownership OF
vast timberland domains was to
continue the owners must conform
to the Nations forest policy.
F.A. Silcox, chief forester, making
his annual report to Congress, said
the alternative was more control
over private forest lands"
For more than 800 years, he said,
American forests have been "chop-
ped, burned and depleted; instead
of being cropped, they have on the
whole been exploited and ravished."
That must stop If the Nation is to
avoid a wood famine" and a flood
ed, eroded land, he asserted.
Mr.. Silcox recommended to the
previous Congress legislation to ex-
tend public regulation to curb waste
full production practices and to re>
quire replanting of cut-over lands.
Interest Created.
He said yesterday that recommen-
dation had excited interest and dis
cussion."
majority opinion within forest
industries is probably against 1t,
though some progressive leaders be-
lieve Unnecessary and inevitable" he
said. Public opinion, determined
that exploitation must be stopped,
seems largely in favor of It,"
Proposals for public regulation
will be placed before congressional
committees, the service said.
A recent inventory of the Nations
forest resources indicated, the serv-
ice said, that there are about 49,
900 900 acres of commercial forest
lands. If properly cared for, this
area, the service declared, should
provide sumcient wood for the fu-
ture.
Better Forests Needed.
"On the forest land we have" Mr..
Silcox said. I'VE need more and bet
ter forests to help underwrite in
dustries dependent on them-saw-

ing plants, furniture and other fac
tories. In normal times, these forest
industries had "a gross production
that averaged close to $1,000 900 900
each year and provided payrolls
supporting about 100000 persons,
the report said.
Mr.. Silsox contended that private
owners have not tackled the jobs of
rebuilding and improving their for
ests on anywhere near an adequate
scale.
The service said an annual Fed
eral investment of $225, 900 900 for
restoration. rehabilitation and acqui-
sition Of forest lands could. over
a 20-year period. raise the annual
forestry income to more than S.

Meeting people and making
friends was essential to Robert For
rests success in business when he
represented mercantile firm on the
West Coast years ago.
More recently it has come to be q
hobby with him, one that he has
pursued with vigor and enjoyment.
When he settled in Prince Georges
County he got "a real kick" simply
out of knowing all his neighbors and
becoming acquainted with fellow
members of the American Legion
post at OXon Hill.
Soon Mr. Forrest became vice
commander of the Southern Mary
land district of the American Legion
and went over the entire district,
making friends with the Legion
naires, discussing organization mat
ters and asking for advice.
Made Good Use of Hobby.
In 1888 he went into politics and
followed similar program, join
ing the Democratic clubs of his
home community, district, county
and State attending their meetings
with clocklike regularity and mak.
ing more and more friends.
1t was with comparative ease,
then, that he won a seat in the
House of Delegates after the State
Central Committee for Prince
Georges County selected him as one
Of its candidates last fall.
Mr.. Forrest merely put his hobby
to practical use, asked his friends
to support the Democratic ticket
and ito vote for me If they felt
they could"
The majority he polled indicates
the time he devoted TO acquiring
friends was well used.
Mr.. Forrest, who is single, was
born in Scotland and lived there
until his family came to Montgom-
cry County in 1908 He studied in

Mirror Causes
You To Reflect

You don't feel any older than
you did five years ago. Your
dress size is the same. You have
not noticed yourself In the role
Of a wallflower at recent parties.
However. this morning when You
looked in the mirror you realized
with a start that something has
happened to your face. There
is a change there all right. And
it's not for the better.
What's TO be done7
Well. first of all. resolve to
rinse your face with ice water
for at least five minutes every
day. Or. better yet, to cover face
and throat with a wet cotton
mask and to 60 over the mask
with piece of ice until the skin
underneath is pink and tingling.
This will help to make the
muscles youthfully firm again
and. consequently. eliminate those
sagging lines from sides of the
nose to corners Of the mouth.
ICE WATER RINSE
HELPS SALLOWNESS
Resolve also to massage cream
into the skin around your eyes
each and every night. Unless the
fine lines at the corners are
caused by eyestrain, in which case
you ought to have glasses right
away.
Simply dip forefingers in special
eye cream or your regular night
cream, place them on eyelids at
inside corners where the wrinkles
are.
But I'm sallow, too" you sigh.
The Ice water treatments will
help to alleviate that condition.
And you must take a long, brisk
walk in the fresh air every day
and perhaps do setting-up exer-
cises in the morning. Sallowness
often is the result of poor circu-
lstion. Exercise will help. II 1t
does not, better see your family
doctor. A sallow condition may
require medical rather than beau
ty advice.
