 While a few children have survived the Na1 or6ea1s without any in- juriolS psychological effects. most are suffering from phobias and neu- roxiS, Mrs. sharp related. They fear wire fences because so many con- oenaEation camp victtnS were elec- trOcuted by this method. They fear dogs because people were torn to death by the fierce police dogs. and are teTrorissd on moonlight nights because most executions took place when the moon was bright.
 Give Generously
 The speaker urged woman of the HadaSsah to give generously to the cause, because children all over Europe had implored her to place their names with the Hadassah. so that they might be sent to Palestine.

 Mrs. sharp, who opposed Cong. Joseph Martin.

She said in an interview following her address, she had ac- cepted the nomination because her friends felt she might be effective in aiding the building of world peace because of her vast experiences in European refugee work. She charged her opponents. fearing defeat, had used scurrilous methods to obtain sufficient votes. and had branded her with the stigma of Communism.
 T was much more interested in returning to Europe to carry on my relief work" she said, But I felt that I could perhaps do more good if I did get to Washington in fight ing and revealing the evils of dictaI torships.
