Soviet Organ Attacks
Arab League

Moscow. (JTA) - Viktor Eut-
sky. Soviet lecturer in history,
writing in the Soviet Trade
Union Organ, Trud." criticized
the Arab league for not raising
the question of the evacuation OF
British troops from Palestine"
and for rot cooperating with
Jewish democratic organizations
in joint struggle for Palestine's
independence.
Outlining for the first time In
the press the Soviet attitude to-
wards the Arab League, Lutsky
said: According TO our point OF
view, both reactionary and pro-
gressive elements are represent
ed in the League. On the Pale
slime problem. as well as on Sy-
ria and the Lebanon, the League
made a number OF progressive
demands. but did not take up a
position of consistent and genuine
defense of Arab national inter
ests in all their volume, did not
raise the question of British
troops from Palestine, and has
not established cooperation with
Jewish democratic organizations
to carry on a joint struggle for
Palestine's independence.
The Soviet Unions attitude
to the Arab countries stems from
its policy Of supporting the rights
Of peoples to self-determination
and to the free development of
national minorities. he added.

HEBREW TAUGHT

As a result of the recent
growth of public interest in the
study of the Hebrew language
the Histadruth Ivrith of America
devoted to the spreading of He
brew Culture. is inaugurating 6
correspondence course in ele-
mentary Hebrew to begin early
in June.
Similar courses have been in
troduced in England and other
countries with extremely salts
factory results. The course viii
be based on Prof. wi Scharf-
STEMS recent book Hebrew
Self Taught. The course itself
will be conducted by Simcha
Rubinstein, one of the outstand-
ing Hebrew educators in the Uni
ted States. The Committee, con-
sisting of leading Jewish Educa-
tors in this country, includes:
judah Pitch, Jacob S. Golub,
Rabbi Theodore Friedman and
Rabbi Goodman.
The course is especially de-
signed TO serve those who, though
anxious to learn the Hebrew
language. have been handicapped
either by the lack of easily ac-
cesSible schools or because they
are unable to fit a regular course
OF study into their schedules.
The correspondence method of
language instruction has proved
TO be successful and it is to be
expected that thousands of per-
sons, particularly those who be-
long to the many Jewish Ma
tional Organizations will avail
themselves OF this opportunity.
While the course is scheduled

dents. it will be so designed that

Budget Balance In Doubt

A balanced Federal budget for the
current fiscal year, which began July
l, is the nations biggest financial
question.
Weighing government estimates
against business trends and congress
sional appropriations, fiscal experts
say a balanced budget for the 1946-47
bookkeeping year may or may not be
achieved, depending on whether
Treasury receipts are greater than
now expected.
Budget estimates pointing to bal
ance in the current year, after more
than a decade of record-breaking def
cts, have been upset by appropria-
lions greater than anticipated early
in 1916. Meanwhile, receipts also have
held up better than expected and fur

Private Health Aid
Plans Expanding Fast

More than 100000 persons now
are covered by voluntary plans for

NO CORN YET IMMUNE TO
EUROPEAN CORN BORER

Reports of the development of a
corn said to suffer no damage from
the European corn borer are unduly
optomistic, says agronomists of the
U. S. Department of Agriculture.
For many years the Department
has been attempting to develop a
corn resistant to this insect, and as a
result may different strains have
been tested, and some have been
found to suffer less injury under bor-
err attack than others. In general,
say the agronomists, strong-stalked
strains are less likely to lodge under
heavy borer infestations than weak
stalked strians. Since most good hy-
birds are more resistant to lodging
than open-pollinated varieties, the
hybrids as a class, they say, have
suffered less damage than open-polli-
mated corn.
Farmers in borer-infested areas
will do best, the agronomists say, to
plant high-yielding, lodge-resisting
hybrids such as would be recommend
ed for their locality in the absence
of the borer.
Some day, say the corn breeders,
hybrids immune to the corn borer
may be developed, but for the present
farmers should grow strong-stalked
hybrids and follow the recommended
farming practices if they wish to
keep borer damage to practical
minimum.

SUGARS ADD Il OAUTUMN GLORY

Leftover sugar is mainly respon-
sible for many of the brilliant SHADES
of autumn foliage, according to a
popular leafiet on the subject issued
by the Forest Service of the U. S. De-
partment of Agriculture. Many sup
pose that frost is responsible for the
color changes, but colors change be-
fore cold weather as the trees pre-
pare fol winter.
"All during the sping and summer,
says TIE leaflet, "the leaves have SER
Xed as factories, where the foods nee
essary for the trees growth have
been manufactured. This food-mak-
ing takes place in numberless tiny
cells if the leaf ad is carried on by
small green bodies which give leaves
color. These chlorophyll bodies make
the food for the tree by combing car
bon taking from the air with ny
drogen, oxygen and various minerals
supplied in the water which the roots
gather.
"In the fall when the cool weather
causes a slowing down of the vital
processes, the work of the leaves
comes to an end. The machinery fol
the leaf factory is dismantled; the
chlorophyll is broken up into the var
ious substances of which it is com
posed, and whatever food there is or
hand is sent to the body of the tree
to be stored for use in the spring.
'All that remains in the cell cavi
ties of the leaf is a watery substance
in which few globuels of oil ant
crystals, and small number of vel
low, strongly retroactive bodies can be
seen. These give the leaves the vel
low coloring SO familiar in the au
tumnal foliage.

HOOKS EVOLVED

Fishing tackle used today is far
cry from the crude but effective i'm
plements used by primitive man.
From knowledge, of the habits of
early man, it appears he first used
the spear for taking FISK, then the
hook and line, and later the net. 1t is
possible that for a time he also used
the bow and arrow. The earliest form
of the primitive fish-hook probably
was small piece of polished stone,
grooved in the center, tied to a line
in the groove and coveerd with bait.
When the fish swallowed this lure,
the stone turned crosswise in the
captured.
Authorities estimate that the stone
type of hook was first used about
1000 B. C. Then came the slow tran
sition from stone to bronze wire
which, although still tied at the GEN.
ter, was far more flexible. By this
arrangement, it was possible to bend
the ends and to sharpen the points.
The result was double hook which
actually penetrated the fish. From
the double to the single hook the
transition was rapid, as was the in
torduction of the barb. This type of
hook with many variations and made
of many kinds of materials, such as
wood, bone and flint. had it's ultimate
end in the modern, tempered steel,
barbed hook of worldwide use today.

On Record

FTeeQOm is more honest LHdH
government and so much more pro-
ductive." This proverb might be
added appropriately and soon to the
ever-growing lexicon of Immortal
words" It came from the lips of
Ralph w. Gwinn of Bronxville,
N. Y, toward the end of a speech
he made in Congress, last April 16.
The address was a review of 40
centuries of price fixing by govern
ments.
Down through the ages, Rep.
Gwinn traced the dismal trail of
political price pegging from King
Hammurabi of Babylon, who died
2,242 years before Christ, to our
own Chester Bowles. Each success
sive effort went to pot. The oldest
pile of wreckage, marking a turn
where some self-confdent ruler
locked his economic steering wheel,
was in ancient Babylon.
And Many Others
Babylon was not the last nor the
worst. Another notable catastrophe
took place about 900 years later as
a result of the wage and price freez-
ing provisions of the Hittite Code.
Popular pressure in Asia Minor in
fluenced this case, but served to
prove how even the ancient rulers
ran afoul of sore resentment against
their impractical tinkering with
freedom of private enterprise.
Frances egoistic Philip w took
prices in hand and created a painful
scarcity Of bread and clothing six
centuries before Hitler. Three or
more English kings took turns at
issuing edicts against natural laws,
no less silly than Canute's ordering
the tides not to come in. Without
fail, price control systems have
finally created scarcity instead of
improving production.
The EmperOr'S OPA
The congressman most colorful
example was Rome. About 300
years before the birth of Christ, EN-
peror Diocletian set up a sort of
OPA for the whole Roman Empire.
Propaganda went out first, in an eff
fort to sell the public on the idea
that rulers were much smarter than
mere people. After the edict, came
record-breaking swarm of minis
tiers and magistrates to enforce
prices.
Did the emperor make his prices
hold? He did not! He fixed death
penalty on people who bought or sold
above the ceiling but Diocletian had
his little undercover problems like
all the others who went in for gov
ernmental price manipulation. Not
many offenders" were executed.
Magistrates took brides, prices rose
anyhow and overfowed into black
markets without number.
Taxes Climbed Higher
An interesting sidelight on the
Roman affair was that all kinds of
building stopped, arts and sciences
fell into decay to such an extent that
people almost forgot about excel
lence. They fashioned and used
makeshifts exclusively. Good crafts
men went jobless, big business men
fled into exile and small business
men went bankrupt and hungry.
And Rome fell.
But before the final collapse, be-
fore the tramp of armed aliens is
heard in the streets, rulers, who
have ruined the wealth of their
country and the prosperity of their
subjects, run out of money them
selves. A hungry and angry people
chased Diocletian out of Rome but
his evil work was done. Taxes were
devastating until Rome was ruin.
History has not one price-fixing plan
fit to copy, here or anywhere.
