Now that the war of liberation il
and information in various countries
long occupied by the enemy are again
open and we are learning for the first
time of great events, great courage
great expression of mans will to sur
vive, and of mans capacity to help his
brother man in time of trouble.
A story has just come out of Den
mark which illustrates not only typi-
cal Danish tenacity to the principles
of justice and fairness but also the
highmindedness and goodwill of the
Danish Trade Unionists. The rescue
and evacuation of the Jews who re-
sided in Denmark at the time of Ger
man occupation has been one of the
mysteries-now we know the story
The Jews in Copenhagen and other
Danish communities lived peacefully,
comfortably, cooperating with all 9th
er Danish citizens in public and pri-
ing of the Germans who occupied
Denmark every Jewish citizen was in
particular hazard over and above 9th
Ell Danish subjects. The Danish gov
eminent recognized this and even in
the early days of the occupation made
surreptitious preparation to protect
the lives and future of this group
against whom the insane prejudices
and cruelty of the enemy were par
ticularly directed. The government
dealt quietly but effectively through
the leaders of the Jewish community,
the chief Rabbi, the heads of their
social agencies and the fraternal or
CARNATIONS.
The cash available to the Jewish
citizens was put in government hands.
A. credit was set up in Sweden to be
drawn on by the heads of the Danish
Jewish community to assist Jews who
could reach Sweden.
Then began the great service of the
Danish working people to this perse-
cuted minority. The Transfers &
Truck Drivers Union selected volun-
teers who collected the citizens anx-
ious to escape and drove them in
small numbers to small seaside and
fishing villages. The Longshoremens
Unions loaded their baggage surrep-
on boats crossing the North
Sea on regular commercial trips The
Sailors Union manned the boats II
fishing boats, merchant transports
and, stealing out at night at great risk
and danger to themselves, moved the
members of the Jewish community, a
few at time, into place of refuge
and safety in Sweden.
This was done so quietly that the
enemy did mot interrupt the process
and it is said that this mass rescue
was made almost without loss or dis
aster This group of Trade Unionists
certainly showed themselves able, in
telligent, and without trace of that
prejudice against one religious and
racial minority which has been the
curse of Central Europe and which
must never be allowed to spread.
Thus man showed himself capable
Of acting as though he did in fact ap-
Dreciate and understand that God Gre
lted man in His own image-that men |
must be brothers, that men must work |
and live together in tolerance, in |
peace, and in mutual assistance if |

Christian civilization is to continue.
The working people I have known
on any street or block have been the
first to come forward generously to
help in any human disaster with cash,
with work, with sympathy, with shar-
ing their own meager home supplies
when there was human disaster with
in their knowledge. erhaps it will be
true in the future that this instinct of
the workers to help those in trouble
may extend to the minority groups
in every country and particularly in
our own country.

EASTMAN CASE
HEARD in
DISTRICT COURT

Hearing of the Violet Eastman case
against Helena School District No. 1,
which has attracted statewide atten-
ton was called in the district court
in Helena yesterday, with District
Judge William R. Taylor of Anaconda
presiding.
The action was brought by Miss
Eastman for a declaratory judgment,
holding that she is still teacher in
the Helena high school and entitled
to her salary as such; that the law
was not complied with by the school
board in refusing to renew her con-
tract for the current school year.
Miss Eastman was represented in
court by attorneys Lester Lobe
Henry Lobe and H. C. Hall of Great
Falls. The school boards attorneys
were e. G. Toomey. Ralph j. Ander-
son and County Attorney Forrest H.
Anderson.
A packed courtroom was evidence
of the interest the case has stirred.
The public generally feels that Miss
Eastman was unjustly treated by the
board which has never disclosed its
reasons for refusing to renew her con-
tract after seven years of satisfactory
work as a teacher in the Helena high
school.
AS we go to press, word is re-
ceived that he hearing is over and
the court has taken it under advise
ment. Both plaintiff and the de-
PENDANT school board have been
given 20 days in which to submit
briefs in the case, and Miss East
mans attorneys an additional 10
days in which to file reply brief.

Warns OF Loose
ak ON Russia
By Catherine r. Hambley

A dangerous tendency today is the
inclination of people to talk and
write in terms of when does the
United States fight Russia" Rep
resentative Woodhouse, Democrat,
of Connecticut declared yesterday.
In an address before the WASH
ington Alumnae Association of Vas
sar College, Representative Wood
house said that though the two ma
tions are different, Americans
should stop thinking of them as
being either better or worse than
one another. Admitting there are
theological as well as economical
differences, she pointed out that
Russia's economy, result of lean
years when she had to start from
scratch, has been one in which she
has had to save rather than produce.
Women can exert influence on
public thinking, she said, adding that
during Breton Woods hearings be-
fore the Banking and Currency
Committee, of which she is a men,
ber, many women's organizations
made splendid impression" while
others put up poor appearances" by
being badly informed.
Discussing the San Francisco Con-.
ference, Mrs. Woodhouse remarked,
I'VE have better opportunity than
ever for peace. The conference has
not come out too badly and GER
tainly better than expectations"
Her address was followed by the
scholarship report by Mrs. Lucy
Madeira, principal of Madeira
School, for 48 years chairman
Of the branch's Scholarship Com
mittee. The permanent scholarship
fund has been named for Mrs.
Madeira, who was the first girl to
receive loan from the Washington
branch. Approximately $4,000 has
been issued for scholarships and
loans by the branch. Scholarships
have been won this year by Miss
Jane Mckee of st. Agnes School in
Alexandria and by Miss Vera Cooper
of Calvin Coolidge High School.
Officers reelected included, Mrs.
John B. Martin, jr., president; Mrs.
David Austen, vice president, Miss
Helen hartman, treasurer; Mrs
Oscar Ruebhausen, secretary, and
Mrs. Edward B. McDougall, council
representative.

If you knew that by giving a

Of bouillon cubes and some con-
densed milk, you might be the

a great many lives may be saved
If enough people answer the ap-
peal of the Russian War Relief
for food to be sent to Russian
civilians as part of the rahibilita-
ton program.
Here's what Mrs. Norman L.
Meyers, chairman of the activi-
ties program and a member Of
the Board of Russian War Re-
lief, has to say about the appeal.
Hundreds and thousands of
homeless Russian civilians are
pouring back to the devastated
lands that still mean "home" to
them. Courageous and deter
mined, these people will rebuild.
So will their children, but it will
be a slow job and they will need
all the help we can give them.
We are asking for the four food
items named above because they
now seem the most plentiful in
Washington. Over 100 local gro
Gerry stores are acting as depots
for the collection, and the foods
will be shipped on Russian boats
thus eliminating to us the cost
of shipping) directly to the Rus
sian government, who will see
that they are distributed to the
needy civilians"
II you are interested, call Ma
tional 1927, the Russian War Re
lief Workshop at 924 Seventeenth
street NV, and they will tell
you which stores serve as depots.
Aside from her war relief work,
Mrs. Meyers does a six-day-a-
week volunteer job at the United
Nations Service Center Nursery
for children of service people.
She is chairman Of the Ameri-
can Women's Voluntary Services

ter, Miss Anne Harrison, whose
younger sister, Miss Helen Harrison
will remain in this country. The
latter will spend some time in New
England with Nine. de Kaufman,
wife of the Danish Minister having
left yesterday.
The party was rather large one
as both the Minister and Nine.
Bostrom during their very nearly
twenty years in Washington have
endeared themselves to many
Americans. The Minister first came
In February 1926 and has served
well past the age for retirement OF
diplomats OF his country. He is to
take well earned rest and will
return to his homeland in the au-
tumn.
Mr.. Bliss, who since his service as
Minister to Sweden has been United

entation Of the tokens of esteem and
affection from this group of Amer
lean friends. In addition a teSti-

those from service and resident
circles were entertained at the
charming Australian Legation,

British Embassy during their WASH
ington visit.
Flight 1t. Eggleston, also Third
Secretary of the legation, and Mrs.
Eggleston received their $50 or 200
guests in the spacious drawing room,
and had with them the guests of
honor. The weather being cooler,
the ladies each chose a black cos
tune, Mrs. Eggleston in a neatly
tailored suit with fine white stripe
and lacey jabot on her blouse
Lady Wakehurst's gown was smartly
made and had lace yoke, and
her brimmed hat also was black
Mrs. McKell's black costume was
relieved by the gay pink roses on
her hat.
The United Kingdom was well
represented, the Countess of Hall
fax, wife of His Britannia Majesty's
Ambassador, being the ranking
member of that large group. Others
included Mrs. L. B. Pearson, wife
of the Canadian Ambassador, and
members of the stats of the lega-
tions of South Africa and New Zea-
land.
The guests sat about the wide
terrace to chat as well as in the
drawing room. The rolling lawns
about the Legation were a bit damp
from the recent rains, except for
the brave, to walk on.

reality probably will be only au
