 The third decision, and the one which Attorney Silverstone said his department considered "the best one," was given by Judge James M. Murphy.
 Attempt Should Be Made
 Judge Murphy ruled that per- son did not have to accept an offer on another shift immediately. If, however, work on his usual shift was not found over certain period of time then employment on another shift should be considered suit able for the worker, according to Judge Murphy's decision.
 Attorney Silyerstone stated that statutes have not defined the word available" as used in unemploy- ment compensation laws. He said however, that it has generally been accepted that unsuitable" work is that which is detrimental to a per sons health or is different from a persons previous work. If suitable work is offered and person refuses 1t then he is considered "unavail- able, according Co unemployment compensation rulings.

 Nearly 3,0O0OOO of the Jews killed were Polish Jews. Walsh estimated on the basis Of evidence by Hans Frank. Na2i governor of Poland.
 Frank noted in his diary in Sep temher, l94l, that there were 3,QOO,- GOO Jews in Poland. In January 1944, he noted ill his diary that there were only 100000 left.
 Banned in Dealing
 Walsh presented a report from the War Refugee Board that. ap- proximately 1,765, 900 Jews were killed at the extermination center in Birkenau between April. 1942, and April, 1914 A Polish govern ment report estimated that several hundred thousand" Jews were killed n the extermination steam cham- Der at T'rebliAka.
 Frank in l942 issued orders ban ming Jews from buying meat, wheat, milk or eggs-an order which he noted at the time was equivalent to sentencing 100000 Jews to death by starvation.
 Franks observation, the evidence disclosed. was made when he signed special regulation in August, i942, which forbid Jews after October, l942, from participating in agricul- ttlre oc food trade. The same order also forbid them to buy most of the Ilecessities of life, including any kind of meat wheat, dairy products or special foods'S
 Army Used In signing the order, Frank ob- served: That we sentence 1900 900 Jews to die of hunger should be noted only marginally."
 Major Walsh placed before the court 8 report to Heinrich Hmm Ter, Gestapo chief, by the SS cover ing the destruction of the Warsaw Ghetto which contained the boast i've succeeded in catching 56,06 Jews whose extermination can Dt proved"

 The greatest scarcity was reported in New York, New England, Phiia- delphia, over Atlantic Coast and West Coast cities and in some parts of the south. Even in Chicago, near the production center, supplies were comparatively small"
 A major factor in the butter shortage is the diversion Of cream from butter to whipping cream and ice cream, officials said. Wartime controls limiting the amount of but terfat in these products were lifted early this fall.
 Creams Mere Profitable
 Since that time butter production has declined even more sharply than is usual during the Winter season. Officials confirmed that under OPA ceilings it is more profitable to make whipping cream and ice cream than butter.
 Agriculture Department and OPA officials said there are no plans to relieve the shortage by government action. Civilians will just have to sit it out" they said

Just as the government, if forced to do so, will have to initiate the giant business corporations, so must the farmers and laboring men re- alize, unless the government is to by run by and for big business, they must organize and take an active part in politics.

 Truman Praised
 The cabinet officer pleaded for ''considerate and understanding support" of President Truman. The President, on his record to date, Ickes said, Ifs entitled to the respect and support of every lib- eral."
 Robert M. Hutchins, chancellor of the University of Chicago. told the meeting that the American people should not expect super human sagacity from any govern ment, but they can demand that the government devote itself to peace, prosperity and justice"
 We can demand, for example, T he said, that the government should not tell us in one breath ! that there is no defense against | the atomic bomb and in the next that We have the largest military force in the world to defend our selves against it."
