MURPHY & MURPHY

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Phone 676 over First National Bank

Children do not get enough nour-
ishment. Eggs, butter or meat is
luxury and many do not see
| it for months. The condition OF
the Jews in Poland is just as
bad.
And now about Germany. On
this boat are about $50 German
Jews travelling to Palestine. You
can hardly believe what they
tell you about Jewish life in
German. It is much worse than
what you read here. We talked
to an old Jewish couple about 20
years of age who lived at Giseir
close to Frankfort on the Marine,
Germany. They were plainly
dressed and had lived their
whole lives in that small town.
At this old age, they had been
forced to sell their entire belong
ings at just part Of their value
to move out of Germany. The
old man is nervous and thinks
he will not be able to get used
to the new life in Palestine. The
old lady tells us of the pain and
insults they have experienced.
The Jews are forced to sign that
their Gentle debtors are free
from paying their debts. Jews
are actually afraid to come out
on the streets and the windows
of the Jewish stores are nailed
up. During their last three
months in Giseir, a Scaffold was
built with a large sign stating
that all the Jews in that town
would be hanged from that scat
fold soon. Jews get the blame for
everything now, but just few
years back most of them were
among the most patriotic and en-
thusiastic Germans and consider

of herring and a few packages
of cigarettes. They have a. few
"BaygeP' or something like
doughnuts on a string as an adj
vertisement. While the Gentle
stores are generally busy, the
Jewish shops are. empty. The
young Jewish men are leaving
their country, not having any
future there and the girls are
born to be old maids. The con-
dition constantly grows worse.
The government takes control of
most of the popular articles in
a sort of monopoly and leaves
these to Gentiles only. You will
not find a Jew working in the
Railroad, Post Office or any
other government institution.
They use every excuse to keep
young Jewish men from enter
ing universities. All seemingly
trying to make the life of the
Jew more unbearable. The Jews
in Latvia believe that the Jews
in Lithuania are better off than
they and visa versa.
Time did not permit us to
visit Russia, but we have spoken
to many people visiting that
country. We are told that people
stand in line for days and nights
for a pound of dried bread.

ed themselves more German than
the Germans themselves. They
did not want to rebuild Pales-
tine, but now it. is their only
hope for the future.
On this boat are about $50
German "Chalutzim" or the
young pioneers that are. trans
ported by the Zionist Organiza-
ton to build up the land. For
two years before they can get a
certificate, they must take train
ing in their respective countries
for the agricultural and other
work in Palestine. Besides these
are about 100 more from other
countries mostly boys and girls
from 16 to 20 years. You will be
surprised to see how happy and
joyous they are-continuously
singing the Hebrew "Chalutzim"
songs and dancing the "Chalut-
zim" dances. They sing and dance
until they drop from exhaustion.

Little Sara's heart fluttered
like a butterfly as she opened
the letter. It was from congress-
man Warner of North Dakota. It
said:
Dear Miss Israel,
was very much interested in
your proposal. 1t seems to me
that its adoption would both help
relieve the suffering of Europe
and promote the march of dem
ocracy in the United States and
throughout the world. I shall
take the matter up with my col
leagues.
"What is the meaning of this?"
asked Mr.. Israel, as he heard
the end of the letter.
Mrs. Israel chuckled. "You see,
sometime ago, Sara conceived a
brilliant idea. She read in the
papers about the appeal of the
President for the starving peo-
pie of Europe. She thought up
the idea of sending NATIONS in
stead of bread for all the hun
cry people.
"The Jews in Egypt made mat
zohs because they were in a hur-
ry. They couldn't wait for the
dough to ferment. There is the
same need for speed now. So
why not send the hungry in Eu-
rope. NATIONS instead of bread.
Besides the NATIONS would be
symbol to them, as it was to
the Jews, of their liberation, and
every year they could CONNIE
morate the event of their deliv-
erance by the eating of NATIONS
So the Biblical festival of Pass
over would be linked with
their own liberation, and the
people who eat NATIONS every
year would never again succumE
to tyranny. So Sara wrote a let
ter to Congressman Warner, ask
ing him to introduce a bill fol
this in Congress and asked hin
as special favor to send her
special delivery reply for Pass
over night. And that was the
letter."
Mr.. Israel beamed at Sara
Pauline beamed at Mr.. Israel
There was beaming all around.

couldn't have wanted better
opening.
"You know, Pauline, 1 know
how you feel. l know of a case
of man who really went to
bat for those principles, and how
he suffered. Why many of his
own people, who should have
helped him, fought him."
"That's the way it is with us"
said Pauline. ''Why, do you know
that many Of the very minority
peoples we are trying to help
with this F.E.P.C. are indifferent
and sometimes even contemptu-
ous."
."You don't say" said Mr.. Is
rael.
"By the way, continued Paul
inc, "who is this man you refer
to-"
Moses" said Mr.. Israel.
Robert Moses? the Park Com
missioner" asked little Joey.
"No, not Robert Moses. Moses
ben Amram. This Haggadah
which we read tonight tells us
about the very thing for which
Pauline distributed circulars this
afternoon. The Jews of Egypt
were, at first, well received, then
the Egyptians began to discrim-
mate against them. And it often
follows the same pattern. If you
allow unfair practices, you open
the way = as we saw in Ger
many and as we read about in
Egypt - for the most extreme
forms of violence and oppres-
sion.
"I have never heard it put that
way" said Pauline, as Mr.. Is
rael finished. GAS you put it, the
Passover holiday seems like a
symbol of the very thing we are
going through today"
"That's it," said Sara. "That's
what I wrote in my letter. Gee,
I was so hoping to get an an

"What is this secret thing that
YOU and Sara have in common"
exclaimed Mr.. Israel, turning to
his wife.

from the table, ''it's time to open

Increasingly more of his time and

according to the rabbis.
Soon all were. seated and

B,,t the faces of none glowed SO
much as little Sara.
Mr.. Israel couldn't help but
notice the look on Sara's face.

Mr. Israel. cts a great holiday,

YOUR face lit up so before"
maybe later in the evening
YOU will learn" said Mrs. Israel,
who evidently was in on the
secret.
Miriam said she guessed Sara
was excited about the "kneid-
lach."
Pauline turned to Miriam and
said quietly, 'My own opinion
is that Passover is all an ancient
superstition---but then it's a good
meal"
Pauline had not thought Mr..
Israel had heard her, but he had.
He knew that Pauline made pre-
tensions about having advanced
ideas, but he treated this toler-
antly. He regarded her case as
one of intellectual measles, which
every adolescent has to go thro-
ugh. It would benefit her in
some ways and in time she would
learn to dis ii n guish that
which was good from that which
was worthless. Still, he could
not help being somewhat irrita-
ted by the remark, particularly
as he was conscious Of the in
fluence Pauline was having on
his own daughter, who was
younger by a year. Diplomatical-
ly, Mr.. Israel began to attempt
to advance an antidote to Paul
ines cutting statement.
"A holiday" said Mr.. Israel,
If it is to have any value should
have contemporary meaning. That
is why in the Haggadah which
we read tonight, it is written
that each must recite it as though
ne himself, and not simply his
ancestors, had been delivered
from bondage. 81 think" he con-
tlnued, you will agree to this"

thing about that" said Mrs.
israel interrupting. II believe,
Dad, she can even give you a
few pointers as to that"
MIR. Israel looked up puzzled.
Now, don't ask any questions, !"
continued Mrs. Israel, "later on
We will tell you.''
Mr.. Israel didn't know what
TO make of it. What did his wife
and Sara have in secret. But af-
Ter all, he was thinking more
ABOUT Pauline. He began fencing

BIG JAP TREASURE
HOARD UNCOVERED

Found In Tokyo Bay

TOKYO, April 6.-UP)-A long
sought Japanese hoard of precious
metals-$2, 900, 900, 900 in gold, sill
yer and platinum-has been found
on the muddy bottom of Tokyo
bay where it was hidden by a JAP
anese army officer nine months
ago, American military govern
ment authorities announced today.
Discovery of the treasure was
verified by exploratory diving that
brought up a bar of metal identi-
fled as platinum and valued at
So, 1000. ..-
American salvage crews will be-
gin work Monday to bring up the
remainder of the bullion, which in
formation given to American intel
ligence agents said includes two
truckloads of precious ingots.
Location of the treasure, in shall
low water beneath a dock on Tokyo
Bay, was revealed to American au-
thorities by Japanese informers.
Orders for hiding the treasure
were issued in the latter part OF
July, 1915, and were traced to a
japanese Army officer, who direct
ed the operation. The officer S
name was not disclosed.
The hunt for Japan's precious
metals and millions OF dollars
worth of gold, silver and platinum
looted from occupied countries was
one of the first tasks undertaken
by American troops after they had
solicited their occupation of de-
feated Japan.
The searches, however, uncover
ed only a fraction of the metals
Japan was known to have posses
sed, and the newly found treasure
was believed to be the missing loot
from many countries of southeast
Asia.
The story told to American au-
thorities indicated that the treasure
was hidden only few days before

FARM PARITY PLAN
SHOWDOWN SLATED
Dixie Democrats, Farm
State Republicans Ready
For Clash With Truman

WASHINGTON, April 6-WR-
Southern Democrats and Farm
State Republicans headed tonight
toward a showdown with Presi-
dent Truman over a higher farm
parity formula.
The Senate last night passed leg
islation to raise the statutory mini
mum wage from 40 to IS cents
an hour. The Jill, however, con-
tains a provision which would
compel the government to include
labor costs in computing farm
parity prices.
Parity is the price formula de-
signed to tell the farmer what he
should receive for his produce to
give him a return equal to his in
come in a certain base year-us-
ually 1926 At present, govern
ment officials do not consider
labor costs in computing parity.
President Truman notified Sen
ate leaders that he would veto the
minimum wage bill if it came to
him with the parity rider at
tached. Administration leaders
said the provision would increase
the average family's food bill $125
a year.
House farm leaders, however,
said they are not only going to
fight to keep the provision in the
minimum wage bill, but that they
are considering lacking it on the
price control extension bill as well.
They said Mr.. Truman would not
dare to veto the OPA measure
the top bill in his list of legisla-
tive "musts seven if it does con-
tain higher pa 'ty provision.
The OPA bill, approved last night
by the House Banking comm ttee,
is slated to come up for House &C
ton before the end of the month.
1t would extend the act for another
year beyond its present June 80
expiration date.
