THREATS OF PARTY
BATTLE COLLAPSE
Ohio Fight Fades When Far.
ley Declines To Seek
Delegations Votes

COLUMBUS, O., March 11-CB-
Threats Of an intra-party fight for
Ohio's delegation to the democratic
national convention collapsed today
when James A. Farley declined to
contest for the Buckeye states 50
votes.
Francis W. Poulson, former demo.
cratic state chairman who urged the
postmaster general to enter slate
pledged to him for the Presidential
nomination, announced the decision
and explained:
I'm event that the President does
not elect to permit use of his name
at the national convention, the dele.
CATION (now pledged to Roosevelt)
is free to go where it chooses. Hence
Mr.. Farley has an equal chance with
anyone at the national convention.
This was his reason for not en-.
term gthe Ohio primary with a con.
testing delegation"
One Of Poulson's reasons for de-
veloping a slate in opposition to the
organization Roosevelt-pledged list,
informed sources said, was to force
Charles Sawyer to put him on the
delegation.
Sawyer, 'favorite son" presi.
Dental candidate Of the organization
lineup, must give his consent to
every delegate and had refused to
approve Poulson as a delegate.at-
large.
Poulson's friends asserted Ray T.
Miller, Cuyahoga county chairman
authorized by Sawyer to choose six
district delegates from the Cleve-
land area, had agreed to nominate
Poulson. Tonight, however, Sawyer
announced the slate of Miller-select-
ed delegates with Poulson's name
omitted.

BRITAIN'S POLICY
FLAYED BY JEWS
Condemn Government For
Cruel Blow Of Restricting
Palestine Land Sales

RALEIGH, March 11.-R)-Jews
of the seaboard Mizrachi Zionist
region, ending a two-day conVen'
ton here today condemned the
British government for the "cruei
blow of restricting land sales IN
Palestine.
In a. resolution expressing "lnner
pain and utter disappointment" the
Zionists accused the British OF a
"vioIation of the letter and spirit
of the Palestine mandate" under
which Britain has governed the
Holy Land since it was Wrested
from the Turks during the World
war.
The British decree prohibits sale
of land in certain parts Of Pales'
tine to Jews.
Earlier in the session, NJ. Morton
Rubenstein of New York, religious
director of the Jewish National
fund, termed the decree an at
tempt to "confine our people to
the ghetto"
The Mizrachi organization re-
elected the Rev. Louis Novick of
Washington as president.
Other officers chosen were: VICE
presidents, Rabbi DR.. Samuel Ros-
enblatt of Baltimore, the Rev. Nor
ris Goldman Of Washington, Rabbi
Michael Zev of Raleigh, Rabbi
Moses ]. Goldberg of Newport
News, Va, and A. NJ. Shrago OF
Goldsboro; treasurer, Morris Gar
finkle- of Washington; and secre'
tary, Herbert Goodman of Wash
ington.
To strengthen the organization
in this region and to arouse great
er sentiment for a complete open
ing of Palestine to Jewish imn1i-
grafton, the convention decided to
name full-tinne regional secre-
tary, organize new chapters and
strengthen present chapters. Mem
bership quotas for chapters were
enlarged.
At morning session Rabbi Ros-
enblatt told the delegates that re
ligion is the most important ele-
ment Of Jewish civilization and
culture"
"Israers unique contributions to
the world are the Bible and the be-
lief in spiritual, ethical and just

ORANGES FOR DESERT

The orange in itself makes a
perfect dessert. Too, it may be
combined with other fruits to
make a satisfying fruit cup. Or
anges add sparkle to mixture of
canned fruit or they may be used
with apples, bananas, grapes, or
any other fresh fruits. AS nov
city, try serving the mixed fruit
in the half orange shell.
Ambrosia is another simple
dessert. To make it, peel the Or
ange and remove the white mem
brane from the outside and be.
tween the sections. Slice the
orange and arrange it attractively
on a dessert plate. Sprinkle with
cocanut and garnish with red
cherries or almond halves. If the
orange is quite sour, the sections
may be dipped in honey before
the cocoanut is sprinkled over them.

Diplomatic circles placed two In
terpretations on Chamberlain's
words. The first was that the gov
eminent was convinced that the
peace talks in Moscow would fail
and was laying the foundation tor

Russia.
The second was that the gov

talks and wiring financial and ter

Scandinavian circles said they
regarded Chamberlain's pledge OF
aid to Finland with skepticism. One
fCopenhagen source termed it ar
apparent '"last attempt to stop a
peace" Finnish quarters in Hell
sinki thought that Swedish neu-
trality would prevent the Allies
from sending troops to aid Fin
land.)
The Russian terms for peace
with Finland with which Britain
was approached last month would
have left Finland helpless and
defenseless," it was said.
They were said to have included
"cession of territory covering Lake
Ladoga, Viipuri, the whole Of the
Karelian Isthmus, islands in the

The nrime minister's statement
msde in response to a labor1te re-

eotiatoins, was:
"The house will be aware that

Prepared To Respond
"As his majesty's government
and the French government have
already informed the Finnish gov-
ernment. they are prepared in re-
snonse to an appeal from them
for further aid to proceed immedi
atelv and jointly to the help OF
Finland, using all available re-
sources at their disposal"
Later Chamberlain's office issued
a statement saying that "the prime
minister desires to make 1t clear
that no appeal for further aid has
vet been received from the Finnish
government"
:, expedition Of French troops
and British ships and planes would
suit Allied military strategy best,
informed sources said.
Britain has ships and planes,
one neutral military observer said
"and France has troops-far more
than she needs to man the Maginot
line"
Cheers which greeted Chamber
lain's statement on the govern
ment's policy in the north had
hardly died away when reports
filtered into London from Stock
holm that a British cruiser and
two destroyers had been sighted
off Petsamo, Finnish Arctic re-
gion now occupied by the Russian
army.
Chamberlain refused to answer
question whether Britain was
proposing to send troops to Fin
land and whether such troops
were preparing to violate the neu-
trality of Norway and Sweden by
going to Finland.
The prime minister next was
asked whether extension Of further
aid' to Finland by France and
Britain would not be tantamount
to going to war against Russia. 1t
was here that he replied 1--WE
have not arrived at that yet"

that the Allies wished the Finnish
