Declaring that the victorious pro- gress of the United Nations armies and the diplomatic intervention or the U. s. Government have broad ened the avenues of escape for Jew ish refugees in azi-dominated Eu- rope, the United Jewish Appeal for Refugees. Overseas Needs and Pa- lestine announced yesterday that the record sum of 20,600, 900 had been spent in six months by its constitu- ent organizations to aid Jewish vic- tins of war and oppression through relief and rehabilitation overseas, through settlement and continued reconstruction in the Jewish home- land in Palestine, and through as- sistance to newcomers in the Unit ed States. The United Jewish App peal is now engaged in a nation- wide campaign to raise the sum of $32, ,000,0 for the rescue programs of the Joint Distribution Committee, United Palestine Appeal, and the National Refugee Service.
 During the first six months of 1o44, the Joint Distribution Commit tee appropriated the sum of $l0,- 59,477 for its worldwide relief, res- cue, and rehabilitation activities. AS an indication of the expansion of the J. D. c. program, 1t was pointed out that its appropriations for the first half of this year exceeded by more than $5,20O, 900 the allocations during the same period of 1943. Near ly 75 per cent of the J. D. o. appro- priations were made for rescue and relief for Jews in and from Naz- occupied countries.
 For the work of refugee settle ment, agricultural and industrial development and war mobilization in Palestine, the agencies in Pales- tine which receive their American support from the United Palestine Appeal spent the sum of $9,629,000 in the first six months of the year 5704 October 1, 1943, to April l., 1944). The bulk of this amount was contributed through the United Jewish Appeal. In the same period of the preceding year, the Palestine agencies including the Palestine Foundation Fund and the Jewish National Fund spent 6,122,064.
 In the six months ending June 30, 1914, the National Refugee Service had expenditures totaling approxim. ately $532,00 for migration adjust ment. retraining, and other services

"Going To Town
In Bond Drive

That rural sections OF the
United States are "going to town"
in the Fifth War Loan drive is
suggested by scattered early re-
ports received by the Agriculture
Section, War Finance Division,
Treasury Department. In Carroll
County, Georgia, agriculture's
100000 share of the county quota
was over-sold by $4,000 on June
6, six days before the drive
opened. In Alabama, where coun-
ty farm quotas are broken down
into "beats," roughly equivalent to
townships in other Sites, several
beats had surpassed their quotas.
Gregory county, South Dakota,
reached its goal two days before
the drive officially opened. More
than 10000 farm machinery deal
ers in the U. S. have been enlisted
as workers in the Fifth War Loar
drive.

Figure 1t Out; It's Easy

The effect of the war upon the

In 1910, 49,815,312 ballots were

Fats and Greases Needed

THE OFFICE of War Informa-
ton has appealed to house
wives to deliver at least 100000
900 of waste cooking fats and
greases to meet a Critical need"
in 1914.
The goal is double the collection
last year but at least three war
agencies emphasize the vital need
of fats, which are an ingredient
in more than eight hundred war
products.
Of course, we have no way of
understanding the full extent of
the need, but it should be appar-
ent that the Government would
not make such a strenuous effort
to collect waste cooking fats and
greases unless there existed a real
demand. Anyway, the drive gives
housewives an opportunity to dc
something more about the war
than to express verbal sympathies
for the men who are fighting the
enemy.
There is a tendency, on the part
of some women, to relieve them
selves of this wartime opportunity
by thinking that the contribution
of one individual is unimportant.
1t is easy to convince oneself that
the small amount of fats and
greases that are available is not
enough to compensate for the
time, energy and effort required
to collect and deliver the product.
Fortunately, there are many
women who do not take this atti-
tude. In fact, the WPB and WA
report that collections last year
relieved a Critical shortage" of
glycerine which is essential to the
manufacture of munitions and
other war materials. Consequently,
it should be a matter of pride for
every housewife to contribute her
maximum amount of fats and
greases in order that there may
exist no possibility of a shortage
in 1914.

Fighting Walkers
Censorship

THE AMERICAN Newspaper
\ Publishers Association has
made an appearance in the Fed
eral courts in connection with the
case involving Postmaster-Gen-
eral Frank C. Walkers attempt to
ban the magazine, Esquire, from
the mails.
It should be obvious to all
Americans that the Postmaster
General was not designated as a
censor for the United States and
that the privilege of second class
mailing should not be used to give
any one individual dictatorial
powers over the contents of maya
zines, newspapers and other pub
locations.
In fact, the Postmaster General
would do well to devote his atten-
ton to improving the postal serv-
ice and leave to other agencies the
decision as to whether a specific
publication should be distributed
throughout the country.
Any attempt on the part of
Mr.. Walker, or future Postmaster
Generals, to set up a censorship
should result in an appropriate
law to eliminate the matter from
his jurisdiction.
The newspaper publishers point
out that the office Of Postmaster
General has been peculiarly politi-
cal and that, since the turn of the
century, no President has named
as Postmaster General any person
who did not actively participate in
the campaign of the successful
nominee.
This being the practice, it is SC
much more important that no one
man, or group, be allowed to exer'
else any control which exerts pres
sure upon second class publica'
tions.

Racketeers And Gasoline

A VIGOROUS. DRIVE is to be
"A launched to make the public
aware of black market operations
and other abuses arising from gas
oline rationing.
Shad Polier, Director of the
Fuel and Consumer Goods En-
forcement Division Of the OPAl
says that all sorts of criminals,
including white slavers and mar
cotic peddlers, are dealing in
counterfeit gasoline ration cou-
pons. He insists that it sis just
as criminal to buy gasoline with
out coupons as it is to sell it,
The rate of arrests by enforce
ment agents is steadily increasing
declares Mr.. Polier, who is deter
mined to break up the thorough
ly organized, nationwide mob
which have spoilers, safe-openers
and specialists who deal in stolen
coupons"
Along the same line, A. Clark
Bedford, chairman of the Petrol
cum Industry Committee of Ra-
tioning, warns that racketeers
may get control of the gasoline
industry. Pointing out that they
once gained foothold in the gar
age business throughout the coun-
try, Mr.. Bedford intimates that
unless the racket is stamped out,
they may threaten legitimate bust
ness interests.
