MoRRIsON'S MAIL

Probably never before in history
has member of Congress so flag
rantly used the free Congressional
frank as Representative Jimmy
Morrison in his current campaign
for Governor of Louisiana. The
marathon-lunged, midget 'Huey
Long believes in sparing no ex-
pense III his campaign-as long as
the Federal taxpayers are footing
the bill.
At the last count, approximately
a million pieces OF campaign liter
ature-folded. addressed and mail
ed entirely at the taxpayers ex-
pense-had been sent out by Nor
rison, urging Louisianans to vote
for him in the January primary.
The mailing charge alone would
amount TO about $4,000 if Morri-
son had to pay it out of his own
pocket.
However, Morrison hasn't con-
tented himself with this gratuity.
He has also introduced some brand
new wrinkles that should open the
eyes Of his older, though less in
genious colleagues.
A great believer in the personal
touch,' Jimmy has four girl en-
ployees of the House majority room
addressing by hand the envelopes
for his campaign ballyhoo. It
would be quicker and far less ex-
pensiye TO use AN addressograph,
but Morrison wants the Louisiana
voters to believe that they are get

ARMY GOES BIG FOR SMALL BOOKS

NEW YORK --(AP)-- About 2U million copies of popular books reduced to pocket size, about six million dollars worth of textbooks and copies of 25 magazines are being supplied by the morale division of the Army Service forces.
 The lighter pocket-sized books cost only 719 cents each and weigh only one-sixth as much as regular editions. Many of the textbooks are re-edited and re- printed. Advertisements are de- leted and some magazines are printed in miniature on thin pa per.
 Packets of news magazines are often flown overseas.

WHAT IT MEANS The Palestine Question

Jewish Agency for Palestine, who had turned over to the British a base for a powerful explosive. Today nothing is needed to make Jews all over the world long and work for the defeat of Hitler and Nazi-ism.
 Arab Relations Important
 Peaceful Allied relations with the Arabs are vital. Allied troops are stationed in territory popu- la'ed by strongly-armed Arab groups who could prove trouble some. Much oil and potash are provided from Arabic areas. Rail- ways, airlines and strategic roads terminate or course over Arab dominated territory It is quite apparent Grea4 Britain was anx- ious not to disturb Arab tram quility as war clouds gathered in 1889.
 The Arabs contend the British Q them in i9i5-two years be- promised Palestine sovereignty fore the Balfour Declaration when the Germans were winning and the British needed Arab help.
 Thus, after the Balfour Declara- tion, claims and counterclaims were hurled at the British and each other by the Arabs and Jews. The claimants of Palestine fought each other with knife, bomb and rifle. More than 2,000 lives were lost, millions of dol lars in property destroyed.
 Great Britain attempted media ton, suggesting an Arabian and a Jewish state in Palestine with the British holding mandate over a third Partition. The proposal fell upon deaf ears. Finally the British issued the white paper of 1889 and declared the Balfour Declaration did not envisage an independent Jewish state. The government denied, also, any promises of an independent Arab state.
 Colonial Secretary Oliver Stan ley last Nov. 10 disclosed only 43,OOO Jews had arrived in Pal estine by September, 1943, since 1889, leaving 32,O00 yet to enter. He indicated Great Britain would not exclude the number needed to fill the 75,000 quota, arriving after April, if their documents were in order and it could be shown they had been detained by difficulties of war.

WHAT IT MEANS
By NED NORDNESS


 government has closed the gates of Palestine to Jewish immigration af'er this Apri, and again atten- tion is focused on the strife ot two peoples who claim the Holy Land for their own.
 Both the Arabs and Jews regard Palestine as their homeland. The Arabs cling to their ambition for national status and independence The Jews yearn to realize an an cient dream of establishing a home for their people in the prom ised land.
 Five million Jews in this coun- try are vitally interested. Mil lions of dollars of American mon- ey are invested in Palestine Jew ish enterprise.
 The state department is much concerned with the lot of the Jews, but the problems attached are delicate and the department is not losing sight of other issues, mainly our war interests. The U. s. government has no desire to make a move that would interfere with Britain's winning the war.
 Britain's Hot Potato
 Many Jewish organizations, no- tably the Zionist Organization of America, are pressing for U. s. intervention in Palestine. But there is little this country can do Government officials concede the United States has been inter- ested in the creation of a Jewish national home in Palestine, but this country cannot assume res possibility. It has no legal con- tract under which it is committed to share in the rule of Palestine.
 In short, since Palestine is a British mandate, the hot potato is hers.
 The Arabs appear to have the edge on the Jews. A 1889 British "white paper" sanctioned Jewish immigration of 75,000 during the following five years to bring the Jewish population of Palestine up to one third of the total. Then further Jewish immigration is banned.
 , The 1940 census showed 550,- 900 Jews, more than 100000 Arabs and smattering of others.
 The status of Jews during the World War and leading up to and during the present war undoubt- edly influenced Great Britafn's stand against further Jewish inn migration against Arab wishes.
 During the World War the Bal four Declaration was issued. II was this declaration which really brought about the pulsing head ache which is the Palestine prob lem. Issued in 1917, it stated:
 "The British government views with favor the establishment ir Palestine of a national home fol the Jewish people, and will use their best endeavors to facilitate the achievement of the projecf
 
 The declaration undoubtedly was motivated by the need o1 drawing to the Allied cause tht support of Jews in neutral coun tries, and in part was believed tt be reward 10 Dr. Chaim Weiz mann of London, president of thu

studios sudden decision to let
Deanna Durbin grow up, sort of
at a leap and bound. Just one
leap and one bound After leading
the most cloistered life among the
younger stars, playing a succession
of wistful and winning young hero
ines, Deanna is suddenly about to
appear as a Somerset Vaughan
heroine, of all things. The only re-
versal equally surprising would be
to have Bette Davis play THE Lit
tie Colonel" or star in a succession
of Bah Ballads.
The Vaughan heroine-a mere
courtesy title for the most diabolic
collection of women in liteurature-
who is interpreted now by Deanna
is that girl in Christmas Holiday"
She is not precisely the girl you
may have encountered in the origi-
nal Vaughan. She has been
redrawn to fit the movies code
relating to such people, but she
compares to Deanna's previous
characters as Salome to Snow
White.
1t was not Universals desire
merely to do a startling thing that
led it to depart so radically from
the pattern of Durbin pictures. 1t
has been motivated by a sincere
conviction that she has become
rather a dramatic actress, at least
one beyond the necessity of falling
poigrantly and sweetly in love with
an older man which she has been
doing through rather lot of pic
lures of late.
With the die cast so positively in
the opposite direction, however, Uni
versal is suddenly concerned with
what Deanna's public will think of
the change.
Should it turn out to be white
hot with anger, Universal is ready
to send its most profitable piece of

the Cinderella one which began
with Three Smart Girls" and
ended, if only temporarily, with
Christmas Holiday"
Incidentally. one of the precau-
tions the studio took to keep
Deanna from being too reminiscent
of the sweet-faced little girl she
used to be, was to convert her into
blond She can go right back
to her old self that way, too.
