The W ashinqton
Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON
and ROBERT S. ALLEN

WASHINGTON = AFL and CLIO
chiefs, sometimes called the Presl-
dents labor cabinet" tried to puS
the heat on him at the White
House last week to stave off the
ban on wage boosts. But they new
er had a chance.
The President pulled charm
filibuster on them-a favorite Roos-
evelt tactic when he wants to avoid
talking about something
Apparently the President figured
the labor leaders would make a
final attempt to block the pay
freeze. So he launched his filibust-
er as soon as CLIO president Philip
Murray walked in. by previous ar
rangements 10 minutes ahead of the
other members of the joint COM
mittee. Whatever Murray intended
to say, he never had the remotest
chance
The President Immediately started
talking about New York politics,
and what he described as the col
orful career" of Lieut.. Gov. Charles
Poletti.
This took up nine of the 10 min
uteS allotted to Murray. Then,
before he could break in, the Pfesi-
dent said, We'll, Phil, I guess it's
time to call in the other boys. I
know you don't want to keep them
waiting"
That ended that. So Round l
went to the President by big
margin.

MANDALAY IS
TAKEN, SAYS
JAP REPORT
British Withdrawing 10
North, Destroying
Bridges, Railroad

NEW DELHI. May BATTERED
by big Japanese thrust, the Brit
ish are withdrawing north of the
big bend of the Irrawaddy River,
virtually on the outskirts of Man
dalay.
AS they withdraw, they announce
the destroying of important rail
lines and highway bridges ten miles
south of the former capital of the
Burma kings.
Tokyo imperial headquarters an
nounce that Jap forces yesterday
captured Mandalay on the now
closed Burma Read to China and
that the city's military establish
ments have now been destroyed
Reports, however from China in
dictate that the Japanese capture
OF Lashio and Mandalay are not
SO important because the Burma
Road no longer runs in that direc-
tion. 1t was reported that when
Generalissimo Chang Kai Shek re-
Gently visited in Burma, he had
the terminus of the link between
China and India moved to an UNI
disclosed point.
ACCUSE JAPANESE
The official communique of New
Delhi said that the retreating troops
blew up series of bridges below
Mandalay. including two spans OF
the famous Ava Bridge, ten miles
south.
Dispatches also officially accused
the Japs of systematic and indis-
criminate bombing and setting afire
of towns, inflicting a terrible toll
of casualties.
Stilwell In Danger
Even more critical than the loss
of Mandalay is the situation con-
fronting American General Joseph
W. Stilwell's Chinese Army ON the
Lashio front, $50 miles to the
northeast of Mandalay, where tank
led Jap columns OF great force are
reported to have pushed within Is
miles of the Chinese frontier.
1t seems evident that Japan is
intent On invading China from its
back door" instead of driving
westward
CHUNGKING, May "a Chinese
communique from the
Honan Province battlefront saws
that 1000 japanese ave been slain
in an attempted drive by the in
yader northwestward from Sinyang.
An entire japanese force, report
ed to number 5000, was trapped
near Minkong and forced into dis
retreat, the reports said.

Kanks, Aussies Keep Han1n1ering At Enemy
Defense Bible
Is Issued ; Many Topics
Taken Up for Discussion
BY JACK STINNETT

WASHINGTON, May 2-For my
money, the bible of civilian defense
is a book titled simply Civilian
Defense of the United States" 1t
is written by Col. r. Ernest Dupuy
and Lieut.. Holding Carter.
1 met the colonel some years ago
when he and Maj. George Fielding
Eliot were harping on the then UNI
popular string of about national
defense with a book called IF War
Comes" The colonel went on with
the armed forces; the major con-
tinued literary.
The colonel, after an interlude
as a West Point brass hat, is now
in Washington and in position
to be as authentic as Bureau Of
Engraving SIS bill. The lieutenant
likewise.
Yet the frontispiece of their book
on civilian defense carries the eau
ton: Opinions expressed and con-
illusions drawn in this book are
those of the authors. They must
not be construed as necessarily re-
fleeing the official opinion of the
Office of Civilian Defense, of the
War Department, or of the SER
,,;cac IN, oa,,aroIv
I wouldn't mention this except
that I don't believe it. The ac-
acknowledgements give credit to al
most every person in Washington
who has anything to do with CIV
ilian defense. The authors may
have libeled somebody but they
NOT only haven't been sued, they
haven't even been shouted at.
Their book covers everything that
has anything to do with civilian
protection of the nation. 1t stars
with such simple definitions as:
The civilians defense against
modern enemies) is organization
for his own protection. His count
erattack is production and the
maintenance of national morale
that will outlast the enemy's."
The book is matter-of fact. In
spots it's even dull But the au-
theirs have not gone about their
business without imagination. For
instance there is that preface to
Chapter XII, Women In Defense"
which starts off with a mention
that Helen of Troy never rolled a
bandage or drove an ambulance.
Penelope never knit sweater; and
Florence Nightingale had to break
down door to get medical sup
plies because the soldier men of

An eventful meeting Of the
Jacksonville Zionist District was
held Monday night in the Jewish
Center. Harry Katz, newly re-
elected president, was installed
into office and I. M. Lieberman
and Rev. ]. Robin were honored
for their devotion and service to
the Zionist effort in the city.
Adelbert Freedman, executive di-
rector of the Southeastern region
was the guest speaker of the
evening which included a report
of the national convention given
by Jack Becker.
Installing the new officers was
Adelbert Freedman. Elected with
Harry Katz were I. M. Lieberman
and Joseph Straus, vice-presi-
dents; Maury Glickstein, secre-
tary, and Jack Becker, treasurer.
Rabbi M. D. Margolis presented
plaques designating the inscrip-
ton of their names into the Jew
ish National Fund Golden Book
to I. M. Lieberman and Rev. j.
Robin. Mr.. Lieberman had serv-
ed as president of the local Zionist
district for many years, Rev. Rob-

the chapter, himself raising large
sums for ]. N. F. The honor be-
slowed upon the two men was a
token of the esteem in which they
are held in the district.

the French Governor of Morocco,
General Nogues, has ordered the
arrest of large number of Jews
who he suspects of being sympa-
thizers of General de Gaulle and
of the United Nations. The Gov
ernor of Tunisia has also arrested
many Jews, and has ordered the
rest to stay indoors.
In Paris, Marseilles and other
French cities, demonstrations a.
gainst the invasion bore an anti
Jewish character. The pro-Nazi
demonstrators, urging defense of
the colonies to the last drop of
blood" shouted anti-Jewish slog-
ans.
Typical of the Nazi French
comment was an editorial in the
Paris Petit Partisan, which refer
red to the American troops in
North Africa as "Roosevelt's SOL
diers who are the militia of Jewry
and the Anglo-Saxon world"

clared that in order to avoid a
repetition of the tragedy that fol-
lowed the last war I'VE must now
resolve that following the next
Armistice we shall endeavor to
build world based on justice and
to create a peace that shall en-
dure. To achieve these goals we
must be on guard lest our souls
succumb to morally debasing hat
reds and spiritually stultifying
vengeance. Righteous indignation
at brutality and injustice need not
lead to hatred and demands for
vengeance. Noble peace terms can
build better morale for the war
effort than yielding to frenzied
passions"
The message urged (1) "the
universal recognition of the SOW
ereignty of Cod" (2) "the appli-
cation of the Bill of Rights to all
men," (3) "the creation of an in
ternational organization through
which all nations would cooper

armament and the establishment
of an international police force"

Jewish Boy, Crucified By Nazis,
Saved By Russian Sailors

KUIBYSHEV (JTA)-The cru
cification by the Nazis of a
twelve-year-old Jewish. boy, Sio-
ma Grinberg, who was captured
while carrying staff documents
and maps for the Red Army dur
ing the battle for Sevastopol, was
reported this week in Pravda.
Young Grinberg joined the Rus
sian troops after his mother had
been violated and murdered be-
fore his eyes by a group of Nazis
who invaded their home. Volun-
teering for a reconnaissance mis-
sion which required someone whom
the Germans would not suspect of
being a Russian soldier, Sioma
was sent to the NaZi lines to Sc
cure certain necessary informa-
ton. He was captured by the
Germans who did not believe that
he was just an innocent, home
less child. Unable to force any
information from the boy, the
Nazis crucified him and built a
fire of twigs under his feet.
Eventually the flames which were

TT HAPPENED
THIS WEEK
AMERICAN TROOPS LAND
IN PALESTINE
BY MILTON BROWN, JTA

LIN i 6AAEO Il LINZ
While the army of ROmmel was
aoing a blitzkrieg retreat in the
Near East, there also came news
# the arrival of a large force Of
american troops in Palestine.
Of course there have been small
attachments of American troops
n Palestine before, but now it
appears a sizeable force of the
Kanks have arrived.
This is very important news.
America has the largest number
Df Jews of any country in the
world and the United States has
given by far the most money for
The upbuilding of Palestine, yet
the United States has hitherto
played little part in deciding the
lestinies of Palestine. 1t was
the British troops one always saw
in Palestine and when it came to
deciding policy it was the English
colonial office which had the only
say.
There was more good news for
he lovers of Zion this week.
Wendell L. Willkie, it will be re-
Called, on his world tour, visited
Palestine and conferred there
with Jewish and Arab leaders.
WILLKIE SPEAKS ON
PALESTINE
This past week a message from
MIR. WillIxie was read at. a mass
meeting called to celebrate the is
suance of the BalfOur Declaration
and in his message Mr.. Willkie
declared that the Jewish case
''fOr a national home has always
rested upon historic rights and
International law" "The doors
Of PALESTINE" he added, twill have
to be opened for the homeless
Jews of Central and Eastern Eu-
rope who will survive this war.
The extent of that immigration
must be measured by the needs of
the Jewish people. While one
cannot fOrsee the exact OrganiZa-
ton which will follow this war,
the establishment of a Jewish
|fulfillment of the promise con-
tanned in the BaIfOur Declaration
must find it's rightful place in the
new world of tomorrow"
These are strong words coming
from a very important man, a
man who may well be one of those
to lay the foundation for this new
world of tomorrow.
And if Mr.. WILKES words were
not enough, Secretary of State
COrdell Hull this week expressed
sympathy and interest" in the
implementing of the BaIfOur Dec
laratiOn.
MORE ON PALESTINE
There was also published dur
ing the week a fantastic report
that Secretary of the Treasury
Morgenthau proposed to resign to
assume the leadership of the
Zionist movement. Of course,
there was no basis for this report.
1t was probably nothing but a
hoax emanating from those cir
cles which would like to see Nor
genthau resign his cabinet post.
Another odd story about Pales-
tine came this week when Sir
Frederick DOlIen, former Lord
Provost of Glasgow, revealed that
the peace proposal which Rudolph
Hess carried to England when ne
landed there in the Spring of 1871
included the demand that Britain
surrender Palestine and Syria TO
Germany.
