meeting and took part in its de-
liberations states that staff will
be Immediately set up in Washing
ton and will be under the direction
of Richard Frankensteen and Wal
ter Reuther, international vice
presidents.
TO HELP WITH PROBLEMS
Decision of the board to estab-
lish the Washington office was

ingly larger number of problems
for locals to handle. These include,

prices, conciliation and other prob
lens affecting UAW membership.
Walter Reuther will have charge
of problems having to do with the

cradle completed work and that all
problems before the board were
completed and the slate wiped
clean except for details.
In discussing the establishment
of the Washington UAW headquar-
tiers, Director Gosser said, "the

be disposed of first. The Washing
ton office will handle all the cases
that are referred to it and will
take them up to the highest au-
thority."
Director Gosser stated that "any
OF Local should con-
tact the Washington office and
bring their problem before it. This

The headquarters have been Sc
ected.

With British Military Leaders

LONDON (JTA)-Problems con-
corning the security of Palestine
were discussed in Egypt at con-
ferences of the British military
authorities and Moshe Shertok,
chief of the political department
of the Jewish Agency, it was
learned here this week following
Shertok's return to Palestine.
The London Times, in an edi-

there are probably plenty of Arabs
in Palestine and Syria whose SYM
pathies are on the side Of the
Axis. "In case of a Spring often
sive on the part of the Axis in
the Middle East, an attempt will
certainly be made to excite Arab
opinion" the editorial said. '"The
ex-Mufti of Jerusalem, who is
now Hitler's guest, still has friends
in Syria as well as in Palestine.
The British military command is,
no doubt, watching the situation,
but a policy which combines firm

SWISS PAPER PREDICTS
GRYNZPAN TRIAL

Geneva (JPS)-Despite the fact
that the Nazis themselves have
for many months maintained a
strange silence concerning the
fate of Hersche1 Grynzpan, the
young Jew whose killing of Nazi
official in Paris precipitated the
November, 1888 massacres in
Germany, the Gazette of Lau-
same carries the story that he
will soon be brought to trial in
Berlin. Neutral circles point out,
in this connection, that apparently
authentic sources some time ago
reported the safe arrival of young
Grynzpan at the home of relatives
in another country, where he is
still reputed to be.

palestine, it was reported this
week displays great interest in
the India question. And the He
brew papers are urging that some
eort Of agreement be reached be-
tween India and England. The
Arab papers are making no COM
mept.
The fact of the matter is that
India presents on a more magnl-
fled scale much Of the same prob
lens present in Palestine. The
great drawback to an agreement
seems to be the fact that India
is constituted of two different re-
ligious -Hindus and Mos
lens, just as Palestine is divided
between Moslems and Jews. But
whereas in Palestine the Moslems
are in majority, in India, the
Moslems are in a minority.
We see the Colonial Office in
the Indian case resOrting to much
the same devices. 1t has offered
virtual partition to India as was
once offered to Palestine. One of
the clauses of the English proposal
was that after India is given Do
minion status, such provinces as
do not see fit to remain in the
Indian dominion may stay out OF
it. This was permission for the
MOslem provinces to- keep out Of
the Indian Union and It was this
clause to which the Indian Nat
iOnal Council and Nehru In partic-
ular objected. Nehru is q Hindu,
not MOsIem but he asserts shat
MOsIem and Hindu have been unit
ed in Slavery, they will remain
united in freedom"
The HinduS are not critical of
Everything the British have done
II India but there is one thing
which they assert in criticism of
the British policy in India and the
same criticism may be levelled a.
gainst the British policy in Pales-
tine. It Is that the British Colon
ial Office has not tried to ease the
differences between the two relig-
iOus groups, but has sought rather
70 accentuate them. It has done
this not visibly, but it has done
It nevertheless. We suppose col
onial offices have gotten too much
in the habit of following this prac-
tice of dividing and conquering"
70 easily abandon the tempting
practice.
The problem Of the MOslem and
the Jew in Palestine is not as I'M
lque as we have been led to think.
In different way, the same prob
lem exists in every country
even in America. There is the
chasm between the white and the
negro, the Protestant and the
Catholic, the Gentle and the Jew.

The opinion was given in a let

which said:
YOU advise us that the Southern

which operates the Bowie race track
has told you that, if it is required
to deposit in advance a lump sum
of $4,000 " the association will
be unable to open and will conduct
no racing at Bowie this fall.

for each day cannot be issued
that the fee for all days covered
by any license fee which Is issued
must be paid in advance"
Joseph A. Farrell, general man
ager of the track, was asked if the
opinion would prevent the opening.

Farrell said no person connected
with the track had made the state
