He was bearded gent and from the look of his clothes he had either just gotten back from a strenuous outing on the Yukon or had slept the previous night in the street. Here, I decided, was man to inter- view.

 Surely behind those weather-beat- en features which fairly shouted of the frontier days of the past, there must be story.
 There was.
 After being duly fabricated to the point where the words flowed free ly, he gave me his life history in seven short Martinis.
 Summed up briefly he had:
 (a) Discovered Alaska.
 tb) Founded the town of Juneau which he named for his favorite Malamute.
 Co Plotted the present Alcan highway by dog team in 1898.
 (d) Discovered the first gold in Alaska.
 (e) Right now he was broke could l lend nm Qoilaf.
 I'm forced to admit that after awhile I became convinced that he was touching up his story just a wee bit.
 He couldn't have discovered Alas ka. I realized after $12.19 of my money had been spent in rapid ex- change over the bar It was Ma gellan.
 Or was it Caruso.
 Anyhow, I found out he wasn't a sourdough, but I'm not giving up Tonight I'm going down to Percy's and maybe I'll find one.

JAX JEWISH PILOT is
AWARDED OAK LEAF CLUSTER

Lieutenant William Katz, son
of Mr.. and Mrs. Louis Katz of
this city, last week was awarded
the Oak Leaf Cluster for bravery
in a bombing mission over Eu-
rope.
Lieutenant Katz, in the Eighth
Army Air Force, has to date COM
pleted ten bombing missions over
enemy territory. He participated
in the deadly Schweinfurt raid
which marked the deepest pene-
tration into enemy territory yet
made by the Flying Fortresses.
1t was in that raid that 3O7 Nazi
planes were downed, and Schwein-
furt was laid in ruins He also
took part in the Hamburg bomb
ings.
Writing home he says of the
Schweinfurt raid: 1--WE just got
back from a very long raid g..
I guess you read about it j.
Schweinfurt. We had a helluva
battle on the way. but really
plastered the target-a vital one.

peru ADDRESS was: WnaC is De-
yond? For some of us-nothing!
We are romancing in the void if
we believe that the Atlantic Char
ter will end our tragedy. Is our
instinct to want home an
ideology? We are asked to for
felt our theology for the sake of
unity. We aren't insisting on
theology. We are insisting on the
honor of the covenant already
granted to us. We are asking
for nothing new-only for a sure
and certain end to the moral
crusifixion of the Jews"
He is a titannic figure, and re-
CARELESS of internal politics, he
is the man of the hour by popu-
lar acclaim.
Naham Goldman: He was the
"meatiest" speaker.
DIR. James G. Heller: He rep
resents the non-partisan group.
Each member he claims, has
his own individual opinion. In
the life of every man comes one
moment which reveals the depth
and meaning of his life. This
Conference may be that HOUR
for the Jewish people. He
was most anxious that the Con-
ference be not broken by partisan
ship. The ideal should be adher-
ence to principle, and not adher-
ence to party.
Solomon Goldman: was in fine
form. He delivered a dramatic
extemporaneous address.
Solomon Goldman's platform
was in brief:
1. Jews are a people and Pal
estine as a homeland is a sue
cess.
2. We want unlimited imml-
gration-the White Paper must
be abrogated.
All these facts were not so very
long ago, he claimed, considered
fantastic, but that we accept
them now, and must go forward
with their accomplishment and
fullfilment.
Israel H. Goldberg Jewish La
Dor Committee): The gates OF
Palestine must be opened, he de-
clared. He takes no stand on po-
litical status of Palestine because
of lack of unity within his own
ranks. 1t was refreshing to hear
a little healthy disunity.
The Southern Delegates
RilI Gerber of Memphis and Mr..
AbeIson of Birmingham: "Bllt-
more Resolution is the minimum. y
George Berke of Chattanooga:
Quaint variety of delegates from
the most modern to the most ira
ditional-very representative del
egation."
Abe Newman of Jacksonville,
Fla. 1.-THE entire delegation is

lin represented"

1t is good news to hear that
Mrs. Milton WaSserman (Sylvia)
is recOuperating from recent
operation which she underwent in
New York City :.
Which reminds us of a story
Sylvia told us some time age
when she was working as "a civil

It is routine at the camp tc
inject the civilians employed
there with the same NEGOTIATIONS
against diseases which they use
for the service people Sylvia
had gone through the entire pro-

Non-Deferrable Occupations
Twenty-nine occupations were an
nounced as "non-deferrable" for
any reason by the Bureau of Sc
lective Service of the VINO on Feb
ruary 2. All occupations in an ad-
ditional 19 manufacturing, eight
wholesale and retail, and nine serv-
ice activities were also called nom
deferrable. Any man in these oc-
cupations is advised to get into a
war job Immediately After April
l he will not be deferred if he
stays in his present job. Even if
he has dependents, he will still be
drafted unless his work contributes
to the war effort
Among the non-deferrable occu-

has some similarities with the pro-
posal Of Senator Tydings in the
case of the Boston Iron and Metal
Company, operated by his close
friend Shapiro, of the Arrow Brew
ing Company, who purchased var
ious old Shipping Board vessels,
which were scrapped and in large
part sold to Japan between 1882 and
1896. Tydings has been asking
the Senate to pass legislation per-
mitting Shapiro's firm to sue the
government for certain ships which
were not delivered to him.
Senator Clark of Missouri fired
straight from the shoulder at Rad
cliffe.
Your proposal" he said, eff en-
acted, would open the door to the
collection of millions of dollars of
unearned profits from the govern
ment. A great number of the
ships were built before the emer-
gency, when labor and material
costs were low, yet you would
make it possible for the owners to
collect the full 1943 market value
for them"
Senator Clark, of course, comes
from the Middle West where there
is no ship industry. Radcliffe
comes from one of the biggest ship
ping areas on the Atlantic sea-
board

peared III an unusual role last
week At a closed session of the
Senate Commerce Committee, he
went to bat for the shipowners
lobby in vigorous debate with
Senator Bennett Clark of Missouri.
The question involved is wheth-
er the shipowners of the country
shall be paid by the U. S. Govern
ment on the basis of valuations be-
fore the war started or whether
they shall be paid on the basis of
increased values since the war.
Naturally the value of merchant
ships has zoomed to sky-high
prices since Hitler invaded Poland
in September, 1889; and Comptrol-
Ter General Lindsay Warren has
ruled that prices for ships purchas-
ed by the government after this
country went to war must be gov
erned by the market value as of
September 8, 1889
The shipping lobby has organiz-
ed a tremendous drive to nullify
this "enchancement clause" of
the Maritime Act, of 1886. Rad
cliffe, however, didn't go as far as
the shipping lobby. He favored
legislation permitting shipowners
to sue the government in a court
of claims for the difference be-
tween the September s 1899, and
the 1942-43 estimated price.
