! LONDON, Jan. 29.-Nomina
tion of Norwegian Foreign Min.
lister Trygve Lie as secretary
general of the United Nations il
expected within "a hours, it was
said here today.
Mr.. Lies selection will be a COM
promise, with Ambassador Lester
Pearson of Canada, first candidate
of the American and British delega-
tions, and Ambassador Simic Of
Yugoslavia, RuSsia's candidate, both
eliminated.
Belief prevailed that the Nor
wegian would be the man, although
there was always the chance the
office might go to another member
Of the Big Five.
The Russians definitely would not
agree to Mr.. Pearson, and, since
unanimity of the five permanent
members of the Security Council is
essential for nomination, the Cana
dian appeared to be out of the
running.
After meeting of the Big Five
last night in the suite of Edward R.
Stettinius, jr., Americas represent
ative in the Council, it was learned
that excellent progress had been
made. In fact, it was stated that
an agreement could be expected
within a day.
Several governments had to be
consulted, 1t was said. However, the
Moscow government is ready to pro-
ceed without delay. An informal
meeting of all II members of the
Council is probable tonight. when
the decision of the Big Five will be
communicated to the non-perma
nent members and full discussion
will be held.
That at least two of the non
permanent members will 60 along
with the Big Five is confidently ex-
pected. That would provide seven
votes for the candidate, sufficient
to nominate.
The American delegation held out
for Mr.. Pearson. but is understood
to have expressed willingness to
accept Mr.. Lie in order to break
the deadlock. The meeting of the
Big Five lasted only As minutes
last night. Foreign Minister Ernest
Bevin Of Britain, however, remained
with Mr.. Stettinius for an hour
after the others had gone.
Mr.. Lie today was in Oslo, where
he went, it is reported, to obtain

Fight RI Jim crow

The campaign to end Jim
Crow on railroads and bus lines
has gained wide support this
week, it was learned from the
Chicago Civil Liberties Com
mittee.
After the initial distribution
of leaflets in the Illinois Central
station on July Is by students
of Poro college and members of
the United Negro and Allied
Veterans, the Committee to End
Jim Crow on Railroads has been
swamped with requests for leaf
lets.
Plans are currently under
way to ex t e n d the campaign
throughout the country on all
rail lines, and to see that the
recent Supreme Court decision
against Jim Crow travel is put
into effect. The Dining Car En-
ployees' Union, for example, is
going to bring the leaflets to
every rail center in the country.

Lumber kings plan
Anti-Union terror

EUREKA, Calif.-(FP) = Red
wood lumber workers, on strike
since last January, went on the
alert here as lumber barons
warned they would attempt to re-
open the Pacific Lumber Co. mill
at Scotia with the aid of county
sheriffs and presumably scabs.
The announcement, displayed
prominently in Humboldt and
Mendocino county newspapers,
limited at vigilante action against
striking Lumber & Sawmill
Workers (AFL) members and
said the strikebreaking move
would be extended to other
struck mills within a few days.
The Humboldt Times, Eureka
daily newspaper controlled by the
lumber interests, quoted Sheriff
Ross as saying: eve will enforce
law and order" In the past Flaw
and order" has always been used
to cover up violence against red
wood strikers by deputized gun
men hired by the companies. In
1895. three strikers were MUIR
dered by company thugs.

years.
For him and for the Army Air
Forces, hostilities began in Decem-
Der, l94l, with a mere handful OF
B-17s and P-40s, plus q few odds
and ends Of airworthy, but already
obsolete craft, in the Philippines.
These aircraft had hardly left the
ground-Gen. Macarthur and Gen.
Brereton are now engaged in some
mild controversy as to why they
were on the ground-before the Japs
virtually wiped out the entire force.
In less than three weeks, Gen. Bre-
reton was out Of the Philippines and
setting up a new headquarters in
the Australia East Indies area and
two months later he was in India.
Three months of gallantry by Gen.
Brereton's meager forces had
brought few victories other than in
dividual ones, and another six
months Of frustrating effort in the
China Burma India theater offered
very little more satisfaction.

mel westward across the Libyar
Desert and finally to participate
with our flrst major offensive in
cleaning the Axis out of Africa.
In late 1943 Gen. Brereton moved
to England, by now battlewise and
supplied with the air power that was
to prove so decisive in the later
stages of the war. Directing his

First major operation Of this strik-
ing force was the Arnheim effort
and even the ground force advocates
acknowledge that it was not the
fault of the soldiers from the sky
that this operation fell short OF
complete success. From then on
the European war moved SO quickly
that further major strikes by this
new type of offensive force were not
needed.
Gen. Brereton was unquestionably
more spectacular in his command
functions than as an author, but his
"refresher" notes on the growth and
employment Of American air power
around the world will have their
value in the eventual sitting and
evaluation OF the part played by the
Army Air Forces. It is q book worth

TheCose of the Jews
THE RAPE OF PALESTINE

By William B. Zif. (Argus
Books; ST.
The case of the Jews against
Great Britain is presented here In
a pretty well documented form.
The author charges that Britain
is pursuing a policy designed to de-
stroy the Zionist National Home
which the Jews have built up in
Palestine, and that she is en-
couraging the protests which al
legedly come from the Arab people
thereabout. 1t is a burningly in
dignant work which he has written,
and his authorities are such that
no one interested in the question
can pass it over lightly.
He believes that it is to American
interest to help the Jewish colonists,
since, as he says, they will. be the
only friends America can expect to
have in that part of the world. He
also observes that Britain is using
American money to suppress the
freedom of the Jews-hence it is
our right to take a stand on the
matter. The book is timely and
deserves wide reading.

be genial? An editor, in his sphere,
Is king.
Mr.. Sedgwick approached the At

Anecdotes Of school pranks and

book.
Welcomed New Writers.
When he bought the Atlantic, 1t
was a publication Of prestige rather
than profit. 1t had circulation of
$4,000, an annual deficit, great
name and that was al. He pulled
it out of the red the first year.
He says that he did this largely by
welcoming new writer's. Though he
admits discriminating against wom-
en-as women-he says that out OF
his 18 monthly contributors, he tried
always to have 10 new names. The
latter part of his book Is made up
of "reminiscences of writer's whose
work he used.
There are also some accounts OF
Boston society, its great ladies, their
wit and elegance. There is a de-
fense of prejudice as guard against
hasty judgment and a dissertation
on taste. There are also Mr.. Sedg-
wick's slender political confessions
how he bolted the Republican
party to support Wilson, how Will
son was his great hero, how he re-
vived his hopes on the candidacy
of AL Smith and then forbore to
hope again. And, making it plain
that an editors life is rounded
one, Mr.. Sedgwick tells how he
met the British royal family and
how he was friend Of profess
sional burglar.
ALI in all, its q gently pleasant
work. II it consists mainly IN re-
ports of its authors acquaintance
with people who had more active
lives than his own, it still con-
firms its title. Mr.. Sedgwick had
a happy profession and enjoyed it.
