SNOW DISCUSSIONS
Alderman Walker Main
tains Removal Work in
January as Terrible

Conflicting opinions on the eff
ficlency Of the bureau OF streets In
handling the snow removals we're
expressed last night by Alderman
Burton II. Walker and Public Works
Commsr. Fenton F. Niver before the
board OF public works.
Alderman Walker declared that
the snow removal following the Sc
we're January snow storm was not
worthy OF the praise which the
works board, and Mr.. Niver In par
ticular, showered upon II. He also
reiterated his observation made at
last months meeting of the board
Of aldermen that the bureaus per-
Torrance In the eight-lnch Febru-
airy fall deserved the praise the
bureau received from city officials
and the public.
Mr.. Walker voiced that the jan

that several days went by before
streets in the outskirts were 3loweo
and that after the storm, he saw a
pillow truck moving up and down the
street with its blade off the pave

Mr.. Niver answered that this was
ridiculous and added that there
were many breakdowns and that 1t
was quite possible the particular

tine Is especially appropriate at this
time, because 1t will give us an OPP
portunity to reassure Our PaleStinian
Jewish allies that we appreciate
their contribution to victory and
that we are pledged to help them
attain the full realization OF the
Jewish National Home which must
be one of the great war aims Of
the United Nations" DR.. Silver said
In his announcement OF the confer
ence.
War Activities
DR.. Silver pointed out that 100. 900
Jewish workers In Palestine are de
rectly engaged In war activities,
many of them especially for the
United States Army. In addition,
some 10000 Palestine Jews and
Jewesses have volunteered for the
British Army and more are con-
stantly enrolling. The military out
put Of Jewish Palestine is constantly
rising, producing many Of the goods
articles and food products needed
by the United States and United
Nations forces.
In the course of his announce
ment, DIR. Silver said
Because morale is an import
ant weapon In wartime and because
Americans realize that the mainte-
nance OF the morale of their allies
is a factor TO achieve victory, the
United Palestine Appeal has decided
TO call a National Conference for
Palestine at the Bellevue Stratford
Hotel. Philadelphia, on April nth
and 18th. Under the theme OF
United for Victory. we are de-
termined to encourage the jewish
