Declares Jews
Using Tax Money
To Break Quota
tBy The Associated Pressl

JERUSALEM, Sept. 80. - Sir
Allan Cunningham, in charge of
British forces in Palestine, warn
ed the Jewish National Council
today that it should discontinue
the practice of increasing taxes
to provide funds designed to help
illegal emigration of European
Jews to Palestine.
He said that the Brotish gov
eminent will exert its power to
stop the illegal entries, and that
the action of the council con-
tributes to the unrest in PaleS-
tine by bolstering up hopes of
Jews that they may be able to
evade the British blockading
ports to keep the number of emf
grants down to their legal quota.

ship, the Constitution, which was
saved to America and history by
Oliver Wendell Holmes deathless
poem, "Old Ironsides."
The Constitution, after being
restored by the pennies of Amer
lean school children, visited Key
West for four days, beginning
December 81. 1882.
The Constellation was saved
because of the love for ships OF
the late President Roosevelt. On
August IL, 1910, he inspected the
vital defense area of Newport
r. l., paused in the shadow OF
the frigate, said the Naval Train
ing station should again become
one of the Nays principal
training centers and promised
that the Constellation should be
recommissioned. This was done
on August oath. The vessel has
been moored at Newport So
years.
History Incorrect
Contrary to general opinion
based on a splendid historical
legend. it was the constitution
which hurried to Key West from
West Indian waters in 1886. But
in 1881 this writer, with the aid
of Navy Department officials at
Washington, dispersed the leg
end and it was shown that the
Constellation was the frigate
which sailed into the farbor af-.
ter its COMMANDER received an
urgent letter from William A.
Whitehead, Collector of the port
(1831-1838). Whitehead, whose
name is a vital part of the yes
teryears of the Island City, wrote
Capt. Alexander James Dallas,
commanding the Constellation,
that Indians were threatening the
little settlement.
The Constellation was at Ha-
vana or cruising in the area. She
ran to the rescue without delay
and after completing her tour of
duty was released and proceeded
to Pensacola, base of her opera
tionS.
Similarity in names doubtless
gave the credit to the Constitu-
ton for an act not performed
by her. Captain Dallas of the
Constellation was called Com
modore," according to Naval
records; but that must have been
a courtesy title, for the rank of
Commodore was not established
until 1862.
Constitution Was in East
The Constitution was in the
Mediterranean when the Constel-
lation sailed to Key West. "Old
Ironsides" was commanded by
Capt. Jesse D. Elliott and her

see their way clearly. And nothing
was done by the administration at the
City Hall to remedy the bad condition.
Now that the war is over and the
administration has the duty to provide
adequate street lighting in the annexed
suburbs it is right to expect that long
needed betterment in street illumina-
ton in the old city will be undertaken
as quickly as necessary materials can
be purchased.
It is not unreasonable to think that
robberies will drop off in proportion to
better lighting of the streets.

More Essential Roads

This story about driving to Buenos
Aires zone of these days" is interest
ing as showing that the inter-Americas
highway, long a dream Of good roads
fans, is being revived. But, consider
ing present conditions in Argentina,
it is questionable if anybody wants to
20 there, unless the traveller happens
to be camouflaged Nazi.
Of more immediate interest is i'm
provement of our own highway system
and fine road to the far tip of Alaska,
which would do so much for the de-
velopment of that territory's tremen-
dous' resources.
And of even greater interest is our
own states highway system, which
Governor Cherry wants to see raised
to the highest level of service, not only
the through but the secondary roads
as well, by which the rural population
may profit.
Wilmington is especially interested
in having super-highway to the west
by which the port may be brought into
easy contact with the rich Industrial
areas in Tennessee, Kentucky and Ala
bama as a source of cargoes and over
which tourists and vacationists may
travel to the nearby beaches. Such a
highway ought to become one of the
chief detectives of the forward-looking
people of Wilmington. It's construction

Price Advances

The House Banking Committee has
given its green light to the Office of
Price Administration for another year.
An amendment approved by the COM
mlttee is said by an OPA official to
represent an additional billion dollars
in the price of consumer goods in a
year.
Chairman Spence said the amend
naent, curbing OPA's retail price-ab-
sorption program would send auto,
refrigerator and other reconversion
item prices up, and the aforesaid OPA
official told reporters it would increase
auto prices at least $50.
There is, of course, no way of deter
mining if the half billion dollar ad-
vance in retail prices under OPA is
liable to be less or greater than would
exist without the OPA. All th&t the
American people can know without any
doubt is that initiation is not only here
but will be worse if and when the
legislation approved by the House
Banking Committee is finally approved
by Congress.

about the tidal wave that hit
throughout a greater portion of the
Pacific.
The reason Mr.. Whitehead's by
line was not used in the Star was
space limitations. That is, when a
big story like the tidal wave story
broke, we here on the Star had
to combine several stories in order
to give as complete coverage as
possible. In the merger, Mr..
Whitehead's contribution was
forced into anonymity under gen
eral Associated Press heading.
That, however, should clear Mr..
Whitehead up for Mrs. O'Sullivan.
Think as am trying to do,
can't offhandedly remember the
last time I saw a story from Mr..
Dixon.
But speaking again of Ernie
Pyle: 1t was my interesting
fortune about this time last year
to interview Lieut.. Inez Mac
Donald of Tupelo, Miss. Lieutenant
Macdonald was one of the nurses
who were left on Bataan and Who
were later captured by h Japs
and imprisoned at Santo Tomas at
Manila.
Lieutenant Macdonald told me,
among other things, that she had
chatted with Mr.. Pyle somewhere
maybe in San Francisco, or
maybe it was Hawaii-just a COM
paratively short while before he
was killed. l think he did one O.,
two stories on the nurses.
Incidentally, my interview with
Lieutenant Macdonald was one OF
the most interesting l had with
returning war heroes. The towns
people in Tupelo gave her a
Day" when she got back. She
lived nearby.
Among the other items rendered
her, the Tupelo merchants gavc
her keys" to their stores. WITT
these keys Lieutenant MACEDONIA IA
could go to the stores and take
her choice OF anything she wantad
for free.
In her cute little speech nj
thanks before about $4,000 people
she said: -e
Gee. thanks eyer Sc much
One of the first things I intend
to get with one of my keys is a
curling iron.
You see, TOTO didn't furnish ,s
with these things while we were
in Santo Tomas"

woman?

Mckinney On

BY WILLIAM z. MCKINNEY

It is a privilege to be able to sit
around at a bridge tournament
in New York, where there always
is group of Life Masters, and
hear them argue out a point in
bridge. An unusual situation
came up recently which l think
will interest you.
West was declarer, and played
a low dlanlona from dummy on
the opening lead, winning the
trick in his own hand with the
ace. He cashed the ace OF spades
and led small spade which
South won with the king. Now
what should South return?
IT you decided that South should
lead the ace of clubs, you allowed
the declarer to make the contract.
AS Harry Fishbein SAID, Look
at dumnly's cards and at to South
hand. In order for West to get
to SIX spades by himself, he had
to have at least seven spades to
the notwithstanding. He also had
to have the ace and king of hearts.

THE GIRL in THE PULPIT
Beautiful Knowles Memorial
chapel in Rollins College, Winter
Park, Fla, has a unique and i'm.
pressive order of service. The
prayers, the responses and the Ole
and New Testament lessons are
read by students, each timed fol
the task. f..
Milady and I arrived early for
service, anticipating great ser
mon by eloquent Dean Edmonds
The huge and gorgeous chancel
was occupied only by a bright
faced girl, wearing the enveloping
white robe of the choristers.
We did not. know that she was
polio victim and that she had
been brought in early in a wheel
chair, or that her gown concealed
her deformity.
When it came time for the New
Testament lesson, she arose to
her feet, and began to recite the
Sixth chapter of Matthew. Her
bright eyes sparkled and her face
he'd spiritual radiance.
In all my years of church at
enhance I have never heard such
an intelligent, eloquent and in
0riring rendition of the sermon on
the mount. 1t lifted that whole

be- o Lord, there are still possible
great services to Thee. We thank

Low Morale In Germany

Before Germanys collapse, when
plans were in the making to divide the
country into occupation zones, it was
felt in some quarters that the program
was doomed to failure on the ground
that there would be no full-fledged CO.
operation among the occupation forces
and that the commanders in each zone
would act independently of the others.
The Russians had no more than moved
into Berlin and taken over the eastern
section of the country than the fears
entertained by these observers were
confirmed.
Now comes additional confirmation
from General Joseph T. McNarney,
chief military officer in the United
States zone. Failure to establish cen
tralized government and uncertainty of
the future on the part Of the popula-
ton, he says have resulted in low
morale and are major hindrances in all
economic activities.
General McNarney lists five condi-
tons which he designates as "underly-
ing factors in a basically adverse" stu
alton. They are:
1. Progressive depletion of raw ma
terials and supplies on hand, result
ing from lack of interzonal trade.
2. Loss of popular confidence in the
currency and tendency toward hoard
ing tangible goods.
8. Lack of an adequate basis for
normal financial transactions.
a. Continuing lack of transport.
5. Lack of sufficient food to support
the anticipated calory ration.
The General finds that General
Eisenhower, while head of the u. S.
Zone, was right when he declared the
economic aims of the Potsdam confer
ence failed because Germany was not
treated as an economic unit. He laws
the blame chiefly on the French who
have insisted that Observation-Disclosures
of the Ruhr should precede centralized
control Of Germany.
There is food for serious thought in
the McNarney report, especially the
sections dealing with Frances position.
1t is not for the layman to determine
If that nations attitude toward the
Ruhr is correct or faulty, but it must be
obvious to any person who followed
Frances course during the war that
the nation, which fell apart and had to
be patched by the Western Allies. is
hardly in position to dictate anv
policy involving her deliverers. France
deserves aid in recovering from the
German occupation, but has no right
to interfere in any plans for centraliza
ton of government in Germany if, in
deed, such plans have finally been
drafted.
