BORAH GAVE FREELY TO PRIVATE RELIEF

One thing few people know about Senator Borah was that he was a one-man community chest. All sorts of strangers used to ask him for aid he would have them looked up, and if they weren't just professional pan handlers, he would make more or less regular contributions to them.
 In number of cases he paid for expensive medical services for people who had no clain on him except the one claim he couldn't sist-they needed help.
 A despairing member of his office staff once remarked that he gave away so much money she ac- tually didn't know how he lived.

A mean under-Surface storm that may presently come out in the open has to do with the conduct of the U. s. consulate of Zurich, Switzer- land, where Americans returning from Europe charge anti-Catholic and anti-Jewish sentiment keeps many refugees fleeing religious per- secution from getting vistas on their passports to the United States.
 One case cited is that of a Ger man Catholic refugee whose pa- pers were in order and whose ap- plication is signed by U. s. citizens worth, collectively, over 100000 People of standing must sign Q refugees application to guarantee that he won't become a public charge in this country) This mans case has waited for weeks; mean while, in order to keep from starv- ing he. has to spend for food the money he had saved to buy his pas sage.
 Angry protests at this and other delays have been made to the state
 department, but so far nothing
 has been done.
 One thing that keeps the storm under the surface is the fear on the part of those who are protesting that if a row is kicked up in the Sen- ate or the House it may lend im- petus to the smouldering move to keep out all refugees.

Mrs. Hester Petit Kinney, lovely Mother who was called to her Heavenly reward year ago.

When things went wrong with Mother Shed stop and think while And then bring forth her saying Come now then Let smie." So though year has passed us by Since Mother left us here earth We know by Gods stars in the sky She has received her Heavenly worth.
