out the present war, the National Chairmen emphasized that Hitler's appetite for world conquest has not in any way diverted him from seek ing the physical annihilation of the Jewish people. They cited as exam pic the mass arrest of 25,0oo alien Jews in France who have been des- tined for deportation in cattle cars to the East for forced labor in mines and the large scale Nazi massacres of Jews reported by ob- servers from the Russian battle front.
 'To assure victory for the dem- ocratic cause it'is the responsibility of Americans to sustain the human itarian front in order that the con- quered peoples may survive to help repair shattered structure of free civilization in Europe" they said "In providing aid to the victims of Hitlerism who are now in allied and neutral countries the Joint Dis AbubASll 10 NOAlO4 &HuSAAiS to the strengthening of the demo- cratic forces. The work of the Uni ted Palestine Appeal in the promo ticn of the defense and rebuilding of the Jewish homeland in Palestine has developed that country into strong bulwark for the Allied forces in the Middle East. In our own country the National Refugee Serv- ice has guided loyal aliens into channels of industrial end scientific endeavor of service to the American war effort. Tn this way the agencies of the United Jewish Appeal are serving humanity on three vital fronts of democratic survival.
 Tn the words of President Roose- welt, through the support which is extended to organizations such as the United Jewgsh Appeal, we can reinforce the humanitarian front us a vital sector in our war effort"

RICHMOND, Va, Aug. 1.-Gov
Darden in a formal statement TODAY
said the report Of the superinten-
dent of State police as to event,
attending the recent arrest and tria,
In Campbell County of Sheriff A. H
Overbey of Pittsylvania County pre-.
sents 4 situation which casts .
sinister and sombre light over the
administration Of justice"
Terming the trial, in which the
sheriff pleaded guilty to reckles,
driving, "indefensible star chamber
proceedings" which resulted in
"paralyzing the enforcement arm OF
the Commonwealth" the Governor
said he was referring a State police
report to Judge J. Turner Clement
of the Seventh Circuit and Judge
Charles e. Burks of the Sixth "for
such action as they deem appro-
pirate"
The Governor said, however, that
1t appeared the hearing on the war
rant and the Judgment Of the court
notwithstanding the unusual cir
cumstances attending the proceed
ings, make 1t impossible for the
Commonwealth to test the matter
further"
Supt. of State Police c. w. Wood
son informed the Governor several
days ago that neither Trooper J. H
Barnes, who arrested the sheriff
and charged him with driving while
drunk, nor any other witnesses were
sworn in or asked to testify at the
trial. Trial Justice Lucian Shrader
of Amherst presided. the regula,
trial justice and the substitute tria,
justice Of Campbell County having
disqualified themselves because they
were related to the sheriff. A fine
Of 500 was imposed.

Packing Trade Says Prices
OF Lamb Declined in July

CHICAGO, Aug. R).-Meat
packing trade authorities said today
wholesale prices of lamb declined al
most IS per cent during July Live
lamb prices declined about 10 per
cent during the month
Strong consumer demand for all
meats has been reflected in the lamb
trade, they said but slaughter sup
plies have been substantial, running
IN excess OF volume of recent wears,
Late in June live lambs were the
highest since 1929 but have declined
since then. The ceiling order ef-
fective August 10, does not apply to
live animals.
The American Meat Institute in a
statement here today said that "ap-
proximately % per cent OF the beet
produced In the United States during
July went to Government agencies
largely for use by American armed
forces"
The statement. issued as further
explanation of the undersuppnes
which were felt in some sections OF
the country last month, said:
Total production of beef during
the mouth was about per cent
lower than during July last year
This is significant when the figures
just compiled further show that
production of beef was 8 per cent
less than was produced during june
and the reverse of the trend OF the
same two months last year when
production during July, 194l, was
IL per cent above the production
Of June, 194l.
I'm the case of pork, production
during July was 10 per cent less
than during June. Also significant
is the fact that of the total pork pro.
duced during July. about % per cent
was delivered to the Federal Sur
plus Commodities Corp. largely for
shipment to our Allies in the war.

Second OF a Series.j

Foreign Correspondent of The Star an
Chicago Daily News.
A CANAL ZONE FORT. Aug. l.
Chief Nele Kantule, venerable heae
OF all the San Bias tribes Of Pana
manlan Indians, could offer co.
operation but little encouragement
as a rescue expedition OF Unitee
States Army jungle soldiers prepared
to reach the wild Darien country
in a search for the lost crew OF ar
Army airplane
Il cannot guarantee that you will
come out alive" he told the two
officers. 1t. Ray Risenden of Thorn
ton, Tex, the leader, and 1t. julie.
Weinberg of Revere, Mass, the med
ical officer.
When can we get started?" re.
Piled the officers and their six en-
listed companions of the Bushmas-
ter Junglers.
Before the soldiers lay a region
never penetrated by white men
the upper stretches of the Morti
and Chucunaque Rivers, amid saw
age Indians, two minute" snakes
and all the nameless terrors of the
heaviest jungle on earth. Some
where in that terrible rain forest,
on the other side of the mountains
ringing the Caribbean coast, a
starving United States soldier had
been found by an Indian late in
May and started downriyer in a
native dugout.
Willing to Risk Lives,
A month had passed since tho
alrplane crashed. There could be
little hope that any OF the crew had
survived month in such a iunple.
But the rescue party soldiers were
willing to risk their lives en- the
chance that miracle had occurred.
Chief Kantule sent runners to his
subsidiary domain in the Walla In
dian country, beyond the mountains.
Inc Wallas promised to provide
dugouts for the trip down the Chu-
cunaque to the Pacific only on con-
dltlon that the white men keep away
from the village of Walla. Other
wise, they would be killed.
Stay away or die!" was the edict
they returned.
The Wallas remember the Spanish
invaders four centuries ago. There
also is the little matter of protect
ing their gold deposits. The Wallas
know nothing of the outside world.
They have not heard about the war:
they want no visitors. Alfredo. the
18-year-old Walla who chanced
across the lost soldier on May a,
alone Of the tribe has been to the
Canal Zone.

white men, "a Indians-got under
way on Thursday, June 18, sailing
in native boats down the Carrib-
bean coast to Portogandi and Sa-
sardi, near the Colombian border.
Steep, jungly mountains lay ahead.
Get on Other Side.
In two days, packing 40 pounds
each over the worst and hardest
terrain any Of the experienced jun
gle soldiers had ever known, they
were on the other side.
1t. Riseden wrote in his logbook:
When would order a break the
Indians objected. They said when
they started they got cold and
couldn't talk well. The Interpreter
tells me the. Indians run from one
place to another, sometimes rs or 80
miles, in only a few hours"
That night the 24-year-old leader
tossed a hand grenade into a deep
pool and all hands had trout for
supper.
On June 21, the party reached
the rlverbank village OF Morti,
where they received friendly well
come-thanks to the previous orders
of Chief Kantule-and rested for
