Here's wishing you all lots of
success
Setting the pace last week was
Miss Shirley Sydell wearing a new
hair-do, with an added attraction of
red ear rings. Sophisticated Lady!
Butch Robinson seems to be
losing time with certain little
blond. Guess he is having too
much competition!
Confdentially, it seems as though
Helen Jane, better known as
Stevey, is still carryin' the torch
for Jim.
It's rumored that the Hudson
and Wilson romance is all off-that
was the beginning of the end!
Phyllis Reed has stopped wearing
makeup and finger nail polish.
Is that the fad, or has some fellow
stolen her heart?
With the opening of the basket
ball season soon, tryouts for cheer
leaders have begun. no final deci-
sion has been made as yet.
Elmer Passwaters has left for
"Army Life" Here's hoping it
doesn't get him down. At any rate
we know he will do his part for
Uncle Sam.
There's a certain Freshman Girl
who is keeping her eye on Senior
boy, who gives foortalks in Civics
We wonder what would happen if
Jack Francis came to school on
time every day in the week. Con-
fidentially, don't think that would
happen. at least he has the right
day
It's rumored that Betsy Ann Den
ney has her heart set on a certain
fellow, who is serving in Uncle
Sans Army Air Corp. Bet she's
glad he makes it home every week
end!
For Girls Only:
Have you noticed the latest thing
in the way of hats? For school
wear you'll find the up to date girl
wearing a crocheted Beanie with a
tassel on the side. Most of the
girls are preferring the color red.
So girls, begin getting your chochet
needles out!
Speaking of chochet, Booty
Burrows has been wearing white
pair of crocheted socks. They sure
are out of the ordinary and look
nifty with sport clothes.
Helen Jane looked very snappy
in her red velveteen jacket worn
with black wool skirt.
A cordial welcome to all our
alumni who were home over the
weekend. 1t seemed like old times
again!
Bobo Stewart is home for few
days and was around to visit j. b

WASHINGTON (JTA)-Contin-
uing to press his charge that spon-
sors Of the Senate movie probe
had sought to rouse anti-Semitic
sentiment in their isolationist
campaign, Wendell Willkie in an
interview with the Jewish Tele-
graphic Agency pointed out that
there had been no denial of this
fact by Senators Gerald P. Nye
and Bennett Clark, sponsors of
the investigation resolution.
I Nye, in testimony before a
Senate Interstate Commerce Sub
Committee, denied any personal
anti-Semitism, but voiced the be-
lief that active support of inter-
ventionist policies by leading
Jewish writer's and other figures
would create strong racial feel
ing.
''Mr. Nye's statement makes it
plain that the sponsors Of this
resolution have no reluctance tt

fan the flames of latent anti
Semitism in their drive to smear
the motion picture industry,
which, in turn, is only an effort
to hamstring the American for
eign policy through coercion"
Willkie declared. He added that
acceptance of Senator Nye's theo-
ries regarding the danger of anti
Semitism developing because of
interventionist activities would
have the effect of denying the
right of free speech to substan-
tial and thoroughly loyal part of
our citizenry."

New York .(JPS)-The Inter

postponed on several occasions be-
cause of international develop
ments, has now been scheduled for
the Southern Hotel, Baltimore, on
October 26th, 9th and 18th, the
American Jewish Congress, its
sponsor, has announced. Lack Of
adequate facilities in Washington,
the original place for the meeting,
caused the transfer to the ada

Department is reported to have

from South and Central Ameri-

Senator Nye Asked
To Investigate
Chinese Control
OF Laundries''

The Non-Sectarian Anti-NaZi
League yesterday wired Senator
Gerald P. Nye of North Dakota,
asking him if he felt that an "in-
vestigation of Chinese control Of
laundries" in the United States
might be in order.
ggIs text OF the aVire fellows:
"Have you considered the large
control over our laundries exerted
by Chinese-Americans? In view
Of your repeated attacks, together
with Charles A. Lindbergh, upon
racial groups for alleged control
of various industries, just think
Of the magnitude of the control OF
laundries by Chinese-Americans.
Chinese laundry-owners are at
tempting to influence the Ameri-
can people to keep their shirts
washed. There is a vast conspir-
acy to influence Americans to-
ward cleanliness drive which is
opposed by 800 of the people,
particularly the younger genera
ton.
IFS our youth to be forced to
participate in matters with which
it feels it has no concern? Is our
youth to be sacrificed upon the
affairs of unwanted cleanliness by
a minority group?
1--WE want you to realize that
despite this request, some of our
best friends are Chinese. You
really can't blame them either for
trying to make an honest living.
But we feel that the investigation
suggested above would certainly
be in the same class as the other
samples of Nazi propaganda you
are dishing out, and should be
treated with just as much respect
and consideration"

ct the almost utter lack of any

on whether Lindbergh isn't just
little too late with his anti

This latter view is somewhat
