By the Associated Press.
ROME, Jan. IA brief confer
ence today between United States
Ambassador William Phillips and
Foreign Minister Count Galeazzo
Ciano spurred hope that President
Roosevelt's memorandum to Premier
Mussolini on the Jewish question
would produce concrete results.
A reliable source said the Am
bassador was assured that, although
no decisions had been reached, the
Fascist government was studying
sympathetically the Presidents sug-
gestion that II Duce use his in
f1uence for general settlement of
Europe's refugee problem.
Informed quarters said Mussolini
could not be expected to commune
cate his specific views until he had
determined what contribution other
nations, especially Germany, would
make toward solution.
The Fascist government already
had limited its willingness to offer
a haven in Ethiopia under certain
conditions for Jews.
May Talk With Funk.
It was thought italian officials
might discuss solution of the
Jewish problem with Walther Funk,
Germahy's minister of economics,
who arrived today for talks with
leaders in finance and economics.
Among those who greeted Funk
was Felice Guarnieri, Italian minis
ter OF finance.
The Germans conversations will
deal chiefly with Italo- German trade
relations. They were expected to
last three days.
While foreigners considered the
refugee problem, Regime Fascista,
newspaper of Fascist extremists,
charged that the Catholic Church
was trying to shelter Italian Jews
through their conversion to Chris
tianity.
Charges Dates Falsified.
The newspaper, edited by Roberto
Farinacci, member of the Fascist
Grand Council. accused the church
OF falsifying dates of baptism to
make conversions retroactive"
1t failed to explain how this would
aid Jews, since Italy's anti-Semitic
legislation makes race rather than
religion the basis for discrimination
Regime Fascista said that, while
only 300 Jews were baptized during
the whole 10Th century in Italy,
several thousands had been baptized
tn recent months.
The only reasons for these con-
versions. it asserted, was to place
Jews under the protection of the
Holy See and LOsservatore Ro-
mano"
Regime Fascista and L'Osserva-
tore Romano, Vatican City news
paper, have been engaging in a
newspaper duel over Italy's racial
doctrines.
The italian press, more interest
ed in the dispute with France over
rights in Africa than in the Jewish
PROBLEMS, declared the trip of
French Premier Edouard Daladier
to Tunisia had faileld to alter Fas-
cist claims.

 An observant British businessman, in a private creasng cordaty of the British people toward things Roosevets outspoken comments on dictatorship, and anticipates continuation of the closer understanding between the two English-speaking countries
 This is significant observation. MT. Rooseyets speeches foreign policy have brought two types of his sharp comments on German and Italian aggressive erally rise after such statements. Some, however, departures from scrupulous isolation few extrem- sts jump to the fantastic conclusion that the President is heading war party"
 But in England the reaction is uniformly favor able It leads many Britishers at least to believe the it come to a showdown with the Fascist powers. This foreign policya stffening of that policy because ica be relied on

THURSDAY, FEBRUARY .y23, 1889
 Benefic aspects rule today, ac- cording to astrology. The morning is suspicious for both business and professional interests.
 Manufacturing will be pushed in the East and the West with special attention to quick production as de- mand for American products in creases
 Engineers and contractors will profit at this time. Building ma- terials may rise in cost.
 Home-making will occupy the at tention of great numbers of newly married young folk. A housing shortage is foretold for many Am erican cities.
 Women are subject to adverse planetary influences which may af- feet them in wage-earning occupa- tions. Competition with men will be discouraged in many vacations.
 Under this configuration girls should study their talents and should acknowledge their shortcom- ings. Astrologers advise women to develop gifts that are feminine They stress all the domestic arts as es- pecially important.
 For young and old the coming weeks should be memorable for their many happy days. The stars indi- cate the beginning of this year as time of happiness and prosperity long to be remembered by Ameri- cans
 During the first quarter of 1940 the seers prophecy, Hitler will lose prestige and, perhaps his place at the head of the German people The summer of 1899 may be exceedingly perilous for him.
 Persons whose birthdate it is should find the coming year satis- factory, but men should avoid sen timental vagaries. Women should watch their health
 Children born on this day prob ably will be intuitive and sensitive They may be self-sacrificing and yet able to do the best for them selves. Their lucky day is Thursday.

Philatelists vs. Grammarians
Philadelphia Record)


 That most of us have been bowed down with the heavy problems of heavy world is about the only to be offered for neglect of of the maor national controversies of 1889 This time it is in the field of philatey less elegantly known as stamp col lecting
 It seems that the IF -cent postage stamp recently issued by Postmaster General Farley bears the legend "One and one-half cents" Writers to the New York Times letter column and to philatelc magazines have protested that this is ungrammatcal It should be- says the Times correspondent, either One and one half cent "One cent and a half
 The official opinion of the Post Office Department to be contained in letter written by the Asss tant Postmaster General: From technical view point you probably correct in your contention The matter will be looked into before another series of 1ls-cent stamps is designed
 No one of course, would actually say T have one and one-half cent" "one and one-half dollar. /. They'd the plural But what they" say matters not to grammarians. For ourselves, reminded of the small boy in the grammar class who heard the teacher say
 T have no pencil; you have no pencil; he has no pencil; We have no pencils you have no pencils and they have no pencils
 Next day the youngster brought in whole box of pencils.

WASHINGTON'S BIRTHDAY

Juneau will observe the birthday anniversary of the Nations first President at public exercises to ss be held this evening at the Masonic Temple. In these days of international discord and of the rise abroad of systems of government so at odds ideologically with that which George Washington founded is profitable for to look again at our ~ benefits and to faith in the principles of democracy.
 ss No American needs to be convinced that the American way is still the unchallenged superior of anything which Europe any other part of the world has evolved since.
 It is more than idle flag waving to declare that our democracy of free is all in all, the finest system of government the earth and ; the only one, having tasted it. which Americans would tolerate.
 x the first President to the other patriots Of the Revolution, the framers of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution, to those who struggled the early days of the Nations history to hold the States together and to make American democracy work, to all those since who have written in blood and effort their contribution toward the ideal and toward its practical accomplishment; to all these enduring debt of gratitude
 This day is a good on which to remember we are Americans and to be grateful therefor

M o D E R N ETIQUETTE
 By Roberta Lee

Q. Isn't one handicapped, who lives in the country and wishes to entertain?
 A. Absolutely not On the other hand, a country home possesses many advantages that no city home can offer; and perhaps the greatest charm of country entertaining is the informality of it.
 @. Should the meat be carried to the mouth with the fork in the left hand?
 A. The American custom is to shift the fork from the left hand to the right hand when eating, but either form is correct.
 o. Isn't is proper for man to walk along the street between two girls whom he is accompanying?
 A. No. The man should always walk on the outside.
