man of War Production Board S
Planning Committee, will head a
private mission making survey of
the economic potentialities" of
Palestine for the American Pales-
tine Institute, nonpolitical, nom
profit organization with headquar-

Iproject are Oscar Gass, former

former economist in charge of agri-
cultural-industrial relations for the
Agriculture Department. Mr.. Nath-
an and Mr.. Gass are partners as
private consulting economists. Mr..
Bean Is on leave from the Budget
Bureau.
Mr.. Nathan said his group plans
to make comprehensive and sci
entif1c appraisal of the economic
possibilities of Palestine during the
next decade" both from agricul-
tural and industrial standpoints.
While emphasis will be placed
upon raw materials and other re-
sources available within Palestine
and the Middle Eastern area, the
investigation also will aim to indi-
cate opportunities which may pre-
sent themselves to manufacturers,
traders and investors from other
countries. Markets throughout the
Middle East and elsewhere will be
studied" Mr.. Nathan said.
An analysis also will be made of
the capacity of Palestine to absorb
new settlers, particularly war refu-
gees, Mr.. Nathan said.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
K. LIS Is harmful to the
heart to sleep on the left side?
Answer: No. Everyone uncon-

about every half hour, so the left
side gets its share Of sleeping on

B. B. B.:-What are the causes
Of a cyst? The symptoms? Does
it ever return after removal?
Answer: A cyst is a collection
Of fluid surrounded by a wall Of

kinds. One is the wen on the skin.
One is ovarian cyst. As to symp-
toms, cysts seldom cause pain but
make themselves known by
growth. They do not retur. if

Crop Insurance Agency
Reports Virtual Liquidation

BY the Associated Press.
The Federal Crop Insurance Corp.
virtually has completed its affairs
and It's payroll has been cut from
$50 to 10, J. Carl Wright, manager,
said today.
Congress in July, 1943, ordered
liquidation of the corporation, which
had insured cotton and wheat crops.
Members declared the insurance was
too big a drain on the national
treasury. An effort to revive it this
fiscal year failed but enough money
was appropriated to continue the
liquidation.
A new crop insurance bill, provid-
ing for insurance on wheat, cotton
and fax crops and trial insurance
on corn, tobacco, peanuts, soybeans,
rice, citrus fruits, sugar beets and
tame hay has been approved by the
House Agriculture Committee. House
Majority Leader Mccormack has

Educators See Postwar
Difficulties for COLLEGES
BY the Associated Press,

BY the Associated Press.
A group of educators serving as
an advisory committee to Congress
on higher education says "the effect
of the war has not been evenly dis
tributed among the colleges and un-
1versities," and warned of difficulties
facing schools in the next few years.
The group was set up by House
resolution to help the House Educa-
ton Committee map a program of
aid to colleges and universities.
A study of QUESTIONABLE sent to
schools throughout the Nation, the
Advisory Committee said in a state
ment, showed that "a number of
colleges and universities are now in
difficult financial situations and
many more will be within the next
year or two even though the Euro
pean war ends shortly
The difficulties confronting
schools, the committee said, involve
finance, and major problems of re-
adjustment that cannot be met
through emergency legislation"
Only few schools have not been
affected by the war, the committee
added. Almost all have lost faculty
members and nearly all of them
men students. Less than a third
have had the benefits of military
contracts and this number is de-
creaSing."
