Mr.. Cafritz said the police chief

MT. and Mrs. Robert B. Treat, Jr., 57 Nelson Avenue, this city, will be one of the exhibitors in the 40th annual cat show of the At lantic Cat Club being held this Thursday and Friday, Jan. 9th and 10th in the Village Rooms of Hotel Taft in New York City. The show is for the benefit of the Bide A-Wee Home for Friendless ani- malS.
 Frankie Masters, celebrated star of stage and radio now featured with his orchestra at the Taft Grill entered his prize cat, a short haired romestic named Squeak" AS Frankie tells the story, Squeak was born the only child of pam pered mother. His prenatal in- fluenceS conditioned him to be- lieve that humans exist solely to minister to his comforts. And nothing that has happened to him since has changed his opinion. He wants his meals on time, he wants to sleep in the most comfortable chair in the house, and he spends his nights out with a blond-hon- est, a white cat with gold eyes, boy is she cute! He hates music. A nice talk on the radio brings forth purrs of approval but the first note of swing and he's off to the far corners of the house.
 On Friday evening, Jan, 10th at 8:15 radio station WMCA and the intercity network will broadcast an interview with the winning exhibitors direct from the floor of the cat show. Frankie Masters is rehearsing Squeak so that he can sign the program on and off the air with his own arrangement of The Cats Meow. (non ASCAP)

SEPARATE DRIVES
 ZIONISTS CHOICE
Resolution Adopted En= dorsing Action of United
 Palestine for Jews

At well attended special meeting of the Executive committee of the Connecticut Zionist Region Sunday the committee unanimously adopted a resolution endorsing the action of the United Palestine Appeal under the leadership of Dr. Abba Hillel Silver for a separate campaign. The United Palestine Appeal represents the Jewish National Fund and the Palestine Foundation Fund, the former a land buying agency and the latter engaged in settling Jew ish pioneers on the land. The quota for the United States is $12,000, 900.
 Dr. Silver in announcing the plans for separate campaign for the needs of Palestine made the follow ing statement: "A factor of great importance in determining the measure of American Jewry'S Sup- port of the Palestine rescue and up- building program in 1941 is the col lapse of the European communities which themselves previously con- tributed substantially to the recon struction enterprise.
 For these reasons, the officers of the United Palestine Appeal turn to the Jews of the United States and ask of them to begin their fund raising efforts at the earliest poS- sible moment in 1941, and to make maximum resources available to Palestine.
 Today the Jews of Palestine, playing an increasing role in the Allied forces, are giving to Jews everywhere a symbol of sacrifieial loyalty and of steadfast faith in the ultimate triumph of justice-justice for Israel and for humanity.
 American Jewry cannot - the United Palestine Appeal is confident it will not-let down these Jews in Palestine who are our front-line Sol- diers in the War for the Liberation of Mankind"
 Abraham Goldstein, of Hartford, State Chairman of the United Pal estine Appeal, although absent from the executive meeting, states that while he is heartily in accord with athe action taken at this meeting of the State Executive Committee, he wishes to add that in those com munities where Welfare Funds and Federations are the sole instrument of fund arising embracing all over seas needs, every effort will be made tp reach satisfactory arrange ment so this campaign may be con- ducted jointly in the framework of the Welfare Funds and Federati0nk
