"HERE are lot of things wrong with
being an MP in the Army, according to
Dan McGarry. But worst of all is that
now and then you've got to arrest guys who
are not mugs, but are just celebrating the end
of the war ahead of time; or have got mixed
up and think they have sixty-three hours
leave instead of thirty-six. when l am
plain clothes cop on the city force" Dan ex-
plains to his mouse Kitty, 1T is all different.
The guys bring in are thugs and yeggs and
dips, and it is great satisfaction to clean
them off the pavement"
Kitty tries to cheer him up with second
helping of deep-dish apple pie; then she
kisses him good-by and sends him off, be-
cause he is starting his tour of duty at eight
O'Clock. But he shakes his head all the way
back to the Armory, and is still shaking it
when he straps on his sidearms and straight
ems the MP brassard on his arm. That is
when he hears someone behind him say
loudly. IF it amt my old pal, Flatfoot
McGany!"
Dan wheels around. The soldier is none
other than Stuffy, the Snatcher one of the
rising young pickpockets around town in the
old days. Hello yourself" says Dan How
did it happen they let dip like you get into
a respectable Army"
Stuffy grins. ''Why, my mouthpiece Cookie
MacBain goes into the Army, and without
him around, decide can't stand the rigors
of civilian life"
Dan glowers. He has no happy memories
Evening star., 1943-12-26

Fine, says Stufty. Nov you had better
fix your pocket flap. or III take you in right
now for being improperly uniformed"
Dan bites his lip. Sure enough his pocket
flap is unbuttoned. So he fixes it and says,
And you straighten your tie or III do the
same to your'
That is how the feud starts and it is such
strain that Dan loses four pounds the first
week. He spends all his free time poring over
volumes of regulations. trying to find some
tricky rap he can pin on Stuffy. But Stuffy
won't leave himself open. He is such model
soldier that about the only thing Dan can
pin on him is violation of General Washing
tons order that all powder horns must be
polished with whale OIL So the feud goes into
second and third week, and Dan loses
four pounds more. When he is off duty the
STRAIN is just as great because he knows
Stuffy is watching him as close as he is watch
ing Stufy; it is like playing cops-and-robbers
twenty-four hours a day.
<AFTER month Dan is ready to crack. He
is more perfect than West Point cadet right
before graduation. He shines his shoes four
times day, shaves morning and night, and
is afraid to carry as much as handkerchief
that isn't G.I. Then there's the saluting
He can't take any chances; so he salutes
everything from Navy warrant officer up,
and even gives it to some movie doormen,
because they may turn out to be Free French
Admirals
After Saturday night downtown, he is
ready for an arm-sling Sunday morning.
OF course it is some consolation that Stufy
also has circles under his eyes, In fact, Stufy
is so desperate after thirty days that he re-
sorts to fast one Dan is just about to 60 out
on duty one morning, when he takes last
look in the mirror and what does he see shin
ing on his shoulder but colonel's silver eagle!
He pulls it off and turns around, and there is
Stuffy behind him, waiting hopefully. Dan
tosses the eagle at him. Pretty crude You
amt got no fnesse"

ANTI-SEMITIC MEETING
IN QUEBEC DURING
WAR FARLEY

Quebec City (JPS)-Utilizing
the world attention focused on
Quebec during the historic meet
ing here of President Roosevelt
and Prime Minister Churchill,
anti-Semitic forces in this old
French-Canadian city arranged a
mass meeting as part of the effort
to keep the Jews of this city from
building a new synagogue.
The anti-Semitic gathering was
in the form of an open-air meet
ing in local park opposite the
site where the Jews have unsuc-
cessfully been trying for years to
put up new house of worship but
have been prevented from doing
so by the action of the Quebec
City Council. The usual anti
Semitic and pro-fascist arguments
were voiced by the speakers at
the open-air meeting. They at
tackled the Jews of Quebec City
and of all the world. Speakers
urged a campaign to boycott Jew
ish merchants while others recit-
ed the familiar Axis theme of
anti-Semitic libels.

BELGIAN PARTISANS '''-'',
HOLD UP NAZI TRAIN
WITH JEWISH DEPORTEES

LONDON (JTA)-A stirring
story, describing how Belgian
partisans held up a Nazi train
carrying 1900 Jews from Belgium
to Poland and released the de-
portees, was reported here by the
Belgian Exile.
The partisans overpowered the
Nazi guards, opened the cattle
cars in which the Jewish depor-
tees were herded, and providing
them with money, told them to
flee in different directions. Six
hundred of the Jews succeeded
in escaping, the report says. The
German soldiers escorting the
train opened fire against them,
killing twenty and wounding
forty. Many of the escaped de-
portees were recaptured, but a.
bout two hundred eluded the Nazi
soldiers and are now given shelter
by Belgian patriots in the Brus-
sells area, the report states.

Senator Johnson Sees Little
Hope For Jewish Homeland

lived in Palestine for many years
to compile report. The officer"
according to- Senator Johnson,
returned with the pessimistic
story that Arabs and Jews were
at swords points and ready for
civil war;"
At the same time, according to
the Intermountain Jewish News,
Senator Johnson kept "stressing
the need for diplomacy and deli
cacy in handling the Palestine
problem because of the need for
Anglo-American harmony"
He is reported to have said that
the conferences and meetings held
by Jews throughout the country
were helpful in building up senti-
ment and in encouraging the
State Department to be more IA
vorable to the Jewish viewpoint.
'But the situation is still dis
couraging and these pressure
groups are not getting very far"

believes there is little evidence
that Palestine will become a
Jewish Homeland"
This sensational statement was
made by the Colorado Senator in
an interview with the Intermount-
ain Jewish News of Denver, to
whose reporter he also asserted
that Britain has consistently OPP
posed a Jewish state and our
State Department, which seems
to be influenced in this case by
the British attitude, has shown
no inclination to buck England's
policy"
Mr.. Johnson stated that Presi-

relationships in Palestine and had

Renewed representations are
being made to the Government of
the United States with a view to
immediate action to rescue the
remaining Jews of Europe, in be-
half of the Joint Emergency Com
mittee for European Jewish At
fairs, DR.. Wise stated for the
Committee, of which he is a CO.
chairman.
Sharply scoring United Nations
leaders for their Indifference to
the plight of Jews under the Axis,
DR.. Wise emphasized that "the
anti-Jewish terror in the German
occupied zone is growing each day
and great danger is envisaged for
the large number Of Jews in the
Italian-occupied zone in France,
in view of the recent events in
Italy and the expected withdrawal
of italian troops from that zone"
DR.. Wise disclosed that the de-
cisions allegedly made at Ber-
muda to aid the refugees have
not been supplemented. He said:
"This year that has seen two
million additional innocent men,
women and children butchered to
death in Axis Europe has been I'M
relieved by single act of forth
right rescue of the victims mark
ed for destruction. Nor has it
been marked by any action to
make clear to the criminals that
those responsible for the crimes
against the Jews and other civil
ian populations will be held to
the strictest accountability"

OF the committee, said that an in
vestigation will be conducted as
quickly as possible to halt the
quarreling among government Of
ficials and give the public the facts.

pears Wednesday. Rubber Director
William NJ. Jeffers, Undersecretary
OF War Patterson and Petroleum
Administrator Harold l.. Ickes, all
participants in the fght, are also
expected TO be summoned.
The inquiry sprang first from
charges of Patterson that the high
octane gasoline program is being
hampered and planes GROUNDED by
the demand OF LETTERS for materials
for synthetic rubber plants. Ickes
supported Patterson TO a lesser
extent.
Sen. Gillette Cd Iowa. chairman
OF an agriculture committee, alrea-
dy had planned to call Jeffers and

port which was pessimistic and
brought heated criticism from JET
