Jew Liquidated
In Holland

LONDON, Feb. 10. (UP)-Dutch
underground sources reported that
the Nazis had "liquidated" Hol-
lands 10000 Jews as part of a
plan TO remove 100000 persons
from occupied countries to relieve
the food shortage threatening the
Reich home front.
A Dutch government spokesman
said more than 10000 Jews were
deported to Germany and else
where, where many were executed
and that 10000 to 10000 others
were sent TO Nazi concentration
camps in Holland. The remainder
of the Jewish population, the
spokesman said. Just disappeared. -
Hitler in January, 1943, ordered
that Holland was to be cleared of
Jews within the year, the spokes-
man said.
The only Jews in Holland to-
day." he continued, "are those few
thousand who are hiding out in the
country, and their lives are not
worth a glider"

BLOOD FOR BLOOD DONORS
(Riverside Daily PreSs)

The Journal of the American Medical
association has announced series of eX-
periments which tend toward perfecting
the merciful, miraculous. and life-Saving
business of blood donation. Physicians at
New York university and the L. S. Public
Health laboratories in New York City
have suspended donors red blood cells
(Which are usually wasted) in deXtrose,
and reiniected the solution into the dom
ors' veins Thus donors have been able to
give blood for twelve weeks.
But the experiments are not so hopeful
as they sound. For the new method would
require separating plasma from the blood
cells at the blood donor center. And this
can't be done now, for there are only
twelve laboratories in the country cap
able of processing blood for the armed
forces demands.
Still, the present lack OF facilities and
personnel does not detract from the new
experiments promise. If great need
arose, facilities would probably be pro-
vded. Meanwhile, it is good to know
that any uncomfortable after-effects OF
blood donation are step nearer to ellml-
nation.

PEACE NOW-OR NEVER
(Christian Science Monitor)

The futile effort for peace in our
time which led to the Munich agreement
and from there logically to war holds no
lesson for the possibly well-intentioned
folk now participating in the Peace
Now" movement. Exploiting a statement
on behalf of peace by the Pope of the
Roman Catholic Church. and employn?
many of the same paciflst catchWords
which added so much of the vocabulary
of futile appeaSement, this movement mas
attracted considerable public attention.
In Washington it apparently is regarded
as "smal-time stuff" Doubtless, too,
there are many well-informed Americans
who regard it as appealing only to the
so-called ''lunatic fringe But tins move
ment makes a dangerous appeal IN some
uneXepected quarters. For example,
among persons who in the past worked
ardently for world peace and were dlsap-
pointed at the turn history took in 1882,
are some who show themselves susceptl-
bile to the false arguments of Peace
Nov" Then. too. there are other targets
for peace Now" among haters OF MI
Roosevelt who interpret his foreign pol
lev as a deliberate attempt to cover 40
mestic mistakes by warmongerlng.
The "Peace Now" movement is lnlmical
to the success of the American war effort.
II will not bring peace now. But II 1t con-
fuses the American people as to the rea-
sons for this war, it may not only lengthc
on the strife. but endanger the hope OF
establishing peace at its conclusion.
As we look toward the future today,
we face ironically this tremendous RISK:

With the July 18 primary less

been bet already, with the trend

One offering is to 2 wager
that President Roosevelt is elected.
Others include small amount that
Gov. Sidney P. Osborn will win the
nomination by $4,000 votes, and
several that Sen. Carl Hayden will
beat Atty. Gen. Joe Conway for the

The heaviest betting to date has
been in minor state races and coun-

Chulus Hold
Up Mountain
Lion Drive

TOMBSTONE, June 29 - They
don't mean to, but chulus are saw
ing the lives of mountain lions in
southern Arizona. They do this by
leading the dogs of government
hunters astray, mauling them, and
wasting their time.
Hunters of the United States Fish
and Wildlife Service report that it
is almost impossible to keep their
hounds on a lions trail. They cross
the scent of coatimundi, better
known along the border by its MeXi
can name of chulu, and are off en-
the wrong track. If they catch up
with the chulu they regret it.
Although the chulu is only a Mex
ican version of the raccoon and
about the same size, a large dog is
no match for one of the intelligent
and mischievous animals. The chulu
pounces on the dogs back, tearing
at the neck with its vicious teeth.
Hunters are now putting leather
collars on their dogs, but say that
the only sure way to protect the
CANNES is to train them to ignore
chulus
Until 1920, chulus were almost
unknown in Arizona. Then hun
dreds of them swarmed up from
Mexico. They are .now plentiful in
the Chiricahuas, Huachucas, Santa
Ritas and other mountain ranges
along the international line.
