 But there was no breath of plr- ity in Jerusalem's market, and seek ing to learn her secret there, Joel heard no word of Michal, so that remembering her promise of child for him, he found 1t easy to be gentle with her and was amazed at her sweetness when their quarreling was laid aside.
 She was not always thus, yet there were times when she spoke of Malachi, regretting his absence, and once of Drusus. All unaware that another year would pass be- fore he came to her, she spoke of him. Joel, if Drusus would come now, should be quite happy"
 He replied mildly, mindful of the disturbed state of her body and mind. Tt is likely he comes with the boats returning this month"

have often said that conven- tional bids are, used too often as a substitute for thinking. It is true that they can be used to great ad- vantage on some hands, but if you make fouk no trump slam conver- tion bids blindly, you can get into trouble, as most of the players did with today's hand.
 This was the North hand, and South opened the bidding with one spade. The sound response was two diamonds, over which South bid two hearts. Now the fun started. Some players bid four no trump to find out how many aces partner had, and South'S response was five clubs-no aces. Now North knew that he was overheard.

Mrs. Bethune, Congressman Dawson,
Congressman-E Powell and other
big Negroes. Politics in America is
played for three major objectives,
the little man is expecting money or
job; in Chicago Negroes get little
money or a job, and chance to op-
crate crap game or play little poll
icy. Jews usually control the book
les, the third objective is influence to
control certain elected officials to
help in business matters that run in
to big money, for Negroes, there's
little or no big money. This writer
voted Republican-not for the reason
that he was sold on Dewey, but he
couldn't stomach the Roosevelts, or
the tin cup leaders who tried to tell
Negroes what to do and how to vote.

Preliminary gifts total1ing $113,91O
were reported by James P. Lee,
treasurer of World War II Memor-

who will conduct the initial gifts
campaign, when they met Tuesday
noon at Hotel Fontenelle to start the

The goal is $262, ,45O, of which SLIP

Linn P. Campbell, trustee of the

the idea for this form of memorial
to Omaha's World War III heroes

be endless litigation upon the facts,
which in the final analysis would nee
essitate returning to the same Com
mission for another determination
which in most cases would be the
same, assuming that the original find
lngs by the Commission were based
upon rational deductions. It was
suggested that the language as found
in the State Labor Relations Act
be adopted, namely, The finding of
the Commission as to the facts, if
supported by evidence, shall be con-
elusive"
In testimony, Marshall suggested
that Section 1875 of the proposed Act
titled, Purposes Of Article" should
include a statement of findings and
policy" in relation to the effect in
this state Asserting that the Assoc
iation feels real need for such state
nlent5 he said, it will set the tone
for the Commission and establish
certain basic facts for judicial con-
sIderation in interpreting the law
1t was recommended that the Com
mission adopt the language under
Section 1862 of the State Labor Re-
lations Act in preference to that OUT
lined in the proposed Act under Pro-
cedure. It was also pointed out that
the language contained in the State
Labor Relations Act would permit a
complaint to be filed by anyone ra-
ther than Limited to the aggrieved
party. This suggested addition
would also permit within the discre
ton Of the Commission, any party to
intervene for the purpose Of giving
testimony, or file memorandum.
Marshall stated that the NAACP
approved Of the Commission recog-
nizing the opportunity to obtain en-
ployment as civil right but sub
mitted that in his opinion in order to
fully protect this right and all 9TH

antees it would be necessary to set

Because now, during a war when
most citizens Usually are working
more hours, perhaps getting less
sleep, living in crowded and made
quate quarters, and meeting difficult
problems in nutrition, tuberculosis is
1lore liable to strike.
And to guard against that possible
attack. the Association is asking ev-
cry Nebraskan to buy Christmas
Seals. the sole support of the Assoc
iation, which conducts a year-roupd
fight against the white plague"
For the benefit Of those who won
der how the money received from
Christmas Seals is spent, the Assoc
alton offers this partial report.
Christmas Seals pay for:
1. Tuberculin skin-testing N the
schooles and colleges and X-rays
Tor discovery Of early tuberculosis
IL. Tuberculosis educational literst-
ure for use i'll schools. 3. Nurses
70 arrange for and assist at clinics.
I. Nurses to make home calls. 5.

york and Array program in INDUSTRY.
J. Some follow-up on rejected mir

osis, the Association said.
And, the Association emphasized,
he tuberculosis program will be as
helpless as Tokyo under a Beg un..
less that $112,OOO goal is reached.
The money you pay for Christmas

be used in Nebraska. They pointed
out that 95 percent of the Nebraska

which held three day hearing in the
Bar association building at AZ West

The most important point raised BY
Marshall was with reference to the
language dealing with the extent to
which the Supreme Court would go

Walter S. Byrne and w. Otto

This Memorial Park has captur-

people Of Omaha" Mr.. Byrne said.

back any project such as this which
is good for our city's welfare and de-
velopment,' Mr.. Swanson said. II
am confident that we will find the
people of Omaha anxious to have a
part in this Memorial Park.
In passing out the prospect cards
to the team workers Ellsworth Mo-
ser, finance chairman, urged that the
solicitation for the initial gifts be
completed before February 1. When
this part of the campaign is complet-

that. do not mean the soldier UP

In the war and have definite pro-
