1t is a disturbing picture to see
these apostles of freedom with US
today-possessing the facts and
the valor to keep us a democratic
nation shunted aside by tn e
scared, palpitating ENJOYS from
Vichy who can bring only more
disunity and more fear to our
shores.
1t is like vanished age to hear
NJ. Aglion discuss the Jews.
You have served with them on
the African desert. You were
with the Free French in Lbya
and in Syria. What part did the
Jews play in those campaigns ?"
TT is hard to say, he replies.
They were not only engineers
and sappers. They were infantry
men and sailors. A very great
number are in the Royal Air Force.
One cannot say that the Jews did
only this or that. They shared in
everything.r
To a man who has watched the
Palestine Jews in action on the
fields of North Africa and the
Mediterranean Coast, and who
has noted Jewish participation in
the life of his own country, the
freedom from condescension and
maudlin sentimentality is a bark
ing back to 'Liberte, Ega1ite and
Fraternite" in which the world is
now sadly lacking.

UNEMPLOYMENT
 COMPENSATION
Increase in State Because of Layoffs, Claims Com.
 missioner Danaher

Hartford, Conn, oct. i7.+(UP)- State Labor Commissioner Cornelius J. Danaher said today that an il- crease in unemployment compensa- ton claims during September was considered symptomatlc of the tenn. porary layoffs and readjustmentS" made necessary by materials Shorts ages.
 Danal1er said T,3l0 claims for com. pensatlon had been filed during the month, an increase of about l,600 as compared with August, or N per cent.
 "While there were no spectacular shutdowns reported during the period" he said, an increasing nun. Der of layoifs, due to materials shortages in metals, rubber, plasticS and silk have occurred. Manufac- turers, generally, who are not work ing on defense orders, are striving at this time to procure government orders. Many offices reported a slackening in the rate of employ. ment due to the unwillingneSS of manufacturers to plan further ex- pansion until the question of rla- tcrials supplies could be roned out"
 Danaher said that 'tson1e progress has evidently been made in the dis couragement of unslsilled migrant woirkers," and that several of the state employment offices, including Bridgeport, noted a dimunition in the number of out-of-state appn- cants during the past month"
