IMPORTANT RULING
ON UNEMPLO YMENT

Lack of a statement of availability
does not bar a person from unem-
ployment compensation, Superior
Court Judge Patrick B. O'Sullivan
has ruled in a case heard recently
in New Haven. The plaintiff was
Arthur H. Mishaw who quit his job
with printing firm and was deniee,
unemployment payments on the
ground that he did not have a jot
transfer statement and was no,
available for work.
The jlrist ruled the plaintiff haa
placed himself on the labor market
and therefore is eligible for the un-
employment compensation even
though he is not eligible to take a
job under the VINO regulations.

The people know the New Deal
has mismanaged and bungled the
home front, and has wasted both
m oney and manpower on an
enormous scales~
The people know the New Deal
has muddled and impaired the war
effort on the battlefront in exact
proportion to it's home front bungling.
The people know that in order to
have the home front efficiently or
ganized and the war front compe-
tently managed the New Deal
administration must be cleaned out
lock- stock and barrel.
MOREOVER, the American PEG
w pie are perfectly aware that
there are many competent and trust
worthy leaders in the Republican
party available for the presidency,
who think about these important
matters as the people do.
There are competent leaders in
the Democratic party too, for that
matter.
But since the New Deal political
stranglehold on the Democratic party
seems to preclude any possibility of
Withholding the Democratic presi
dental nomination from Mr.. Roose-
welt, now or ever, the undeniable
opportunity for the people to effect
a necessary change is by electing an
able and sincerely American Repub-
lican to the presidency who is CON
cerned more about his country and
less about his Tplace in history"
The logic of the whole situation
compelled Mr.. Willkie,s- rejection.
BY the same token, it foreshadows
MR.. ROOSEVELT'S DEFEAT, if
the Democratic party persists in run
ming against the sweeping national
tide of REPUTATION FOR THE
NEW DEAL.

Messages from Jewish leaders in the
nation voice high praise for the editorial
EOpen Up Palestine Now" published in
The Detroit Times and other Hearst
newspapers. lu
Hailed as an historic document, poig-
ntlF-expfessing the rights of Jewish
refugees to shelter in their ancient home
land, the editorial plea was described by
religious and educational figures as a
vital contribution to vital cause.
Samuel Wolberg, member Of the adj
miniStrative council of the Zionist organ
ization of America, declared the editorial
reflected the TRUE spirit of American
democracy, adding:
"Afterfhe war hundreds of thousands
of uproOted and destitute Jews, victims of
the Nazi war on civilization, will need a
place in which TO begin a new life.
''For the most part, their native lands
Germany, Poland, Rumania and Hun
gary-Seethe with a Systematically nur-
tured hatred for them, rendering the
prospect of any future there as dark as
the past.
Palestine. the ancient homeland of
the Jewish people, offers the one major
haven for the stricken. hate dashed Jew
ish refugee. Half million Jews have
settled and prospered there during the
past p years.
'The land can shelter and give life to
millions more. American experts say it
can absorb anywhere from two TO five
millions additional Jews.
a White Paper issued by the Cham
berlain government in 1899 as part of the
appeasement policy toward the Arabs,
forbids any Jew from settling in Palestine
once quota of 10000 immigrants is
filled.
IF allowed to stand, the White Paper
will freeze Palestinian Jewry as a perma-
nent minority. 1t will mean the death
warrant to the one major hope for a
normal life for countless Jews"

xyENDELL WILLKIE has made

VIZ ENDELL WILLKIE has made
w dramatic but entirely super
fluous announcement of his with
drawal as an aspirant for the
Republican presidential nomination.
The Republican voters of Wiscon
sin had already effectively disposed
of Mr.. WILKES candidacy.
And the voters of Wisconsin had
only confirmed a fact long and we'll
known throughout the country-that
his candidacy was not acceptable to
the American people and was there
fore foredoomed to failure.
The reason Mr.. Willkie is not
acceptable as a Republican presi-
Dental nominee is quite simple and
reasonable
The Willkie candidacy has been a
Misrepresentation, and in sense
fraud.
Its principal advocates Were poll
ticions intent upon setting up a stratO
man on the Republican presidential
ticket.
They cannily reasoned that if the
country realized it would have the
same old misdeal under Willkie as
Republican president it has had
under Roosevelt, it would figure it
might just as we'll continue under
Roosevelt mismanagement.
NONE of the political sponsors Of
~ the Willkie candidacy had any
intention to support it after the con
vention or to vote for it in November.
They were simply maneuvering
for a SURE THING FOR ROOSE-
WELT in November, AID wetflltd have
had it with Wendell Willkie as the
Republican candidate.
The American people are much
smarter than these politicians sup
pose.
