On Palestine

NEW YORK (JPS)-The Lon
don conference on Palestine, ad-
journed October End until De-
cember 10Th, will probably not be
resumed until after the New
Year, the New York Times re-
ports in a dispatch from London.
The formal reason offered by the
British Government for the pos
sible delay is that the current ses-
sion of the United Nations in
New York would probably run
beyond the time set for conven-
ing the Palestine conference.
Another postponement will give
the World Zionist Congress,
scheduled to open in Basle De-
cember 8, an opportunity to con-
clude its sessions and give formal
voice to Jewish world opinion be-
fore the London conference
meets.

WHAT NEXT?

BUDAPEST (WNS) - A ten
year prison term was imposed
here this week on Rabbi Bella
Berend following conviction by
a Peoples Court on a charge
of having cOllabOrated with
the Nazis during their Occupa-
ton in Hungary.
Rabbi Berend claimed that
he cO-Operated with the Nazis
in order to help Jews. The
court took the plea into con-
sideratiOn, declaring that other
wise the defendant would have
received a sitter sentence.
The rabbits attorneys said they
expect to appeal to a higher
court.

tween the hostile Arab and the
attitude of those Arabs living in
close proximity saying the later
lived in harmony with his Jewish
neighbor because he knew and
observed his mode of living.
One matron asked why Mrs.
Strauss was not in native costume.
There was a little confusion that
the Mogen David in the flag was
a symbol seen over many butcher
shops. A preacher from Indiana
mused, "You have given us the
Bible. You deserve better treat

Members in charge of the var

display. Mrs. Strauss expressed
the wish that the same spirit
might prevail at the UN Confer
ence.
Herbert Strauss assisted with
the physical set-up of the exhi-
bit.

ARABS OFFER HAVEN

HAIFA (JPS-PalcOr)-Aba
Hushi, Haifa labor leader who
just returned here from a Sc
cret hide-Out where he stayed
ever since the mass arrests of
Jewish officials last June 29th,
described how Arabs from
cities and villages in Palestine
and neighbOring countries, la
borers and nationalists alike,
had offered him help and
asylum at the risk of their own
arrest.
Eleven Arab villages sent
delegates to his friends with
offers of a haven within their
communities. One ferven t
nationalist offered; aim a hid
ing place in his home, as a
token of security said he would

Mrs. Harry Strauss assembled ex-
amples of Palestinian work. At
the exhibit she was assisted by
Mrs. Abe Chanin. The questions
revealed the confused thinking
and misimpressions about Pales-
tine.
A group of young adolescent
girls, possibly Sunday school or
private school group, approached
the exhibit. One blonde young
ster seemed particularly inter-
ested. She picked up each article
for scrutiny as thought it was pre-
cious. Finally she approached
Mrs. Strauss to ask if there was
a mazuzah on display. Her grand
mother gave her one when she
was a little girl. She lost it. She'd
like another.

Garrison Doubled

LONDON (JPS-Palcor) - The
Times Jerusalem correspondent
reports that the Government is
now taking steps to build up the
Palestine garrison to 125,0OO
troops and police by early Janu-
ary as a security measure if a
partition scheme favorable to the
Jews is decided upon, which, the
correspondent says, at this mo-
ment appears likely. Military au-
thorities assume that if such is the
case, the predominantly Arab
Negev triangle in the south and
certain areas in the north already
under extensive Jewish settle
ment and most of the coastline
will be given to the Jews. Re-
endorsements are needed, accord
ing to the Army, because of re-
ports of the growing strength of
the so-called Arab Army Mazda,

patron and chairman of the program
committee, is entirely partisan
a-Sa nor .pel, teal The issues up for
consideration and discussion are:
Teachers salaries; their working con-
ditions, and the maintenance and i'm
provement of the schools.
Yearly, it has been pointed out, the
Board of Education asks for appro-
priatioBs in the amount they deem
necessary. Yearly the amount is cut
by the Commissioners.
1t is possible that general apathy
on the part of patrons - who have
shown surprising lack of knowl-
edge, not only of conditions in the
local schools, but of the State school
system - is largely responsible for
our own lack of progress. In any
event, it is a well-knoWn fact that
the Commissioners are beseiged by
members of the Tax Payers League,
.clamoring for decreased taxes, while
it is a rare thing for them to be APP
preached by parents demanding tax
increases for the improvement of the
schools.
Those in charge of the mass meet

to impress both candidates and Com

County Health Officer Suggests
Preventive Measures.

Edna ST. Vincent Millay didn't
have measles in mind when she pen
ned the lines You'd better watch
out for the you know who, when
you sit around remembering Spring."
but to most parents and all doctors
Spring and measles are horribly
synonymous. Already fifty cases
have been reported to the Health
Department in Hagerstown and, ac-
cording to DR.. McCallum, city and
county health officer, we're in for
an epidemic
While the reported cases are
spread over a wide area, DR.. Nc
Callum states that health authorities
have no illusions about trying to
stop this epidemic, since there is no
known permanent immunization
against the disease.
Mothers of children under three
are strongly urged to keep the little
ones away from exposure or contact
with other children, since every
older child, DR. McCallum states, is
now a possible source of infection.
Should a younger child undergo
known exposure, health authorities
suggest that he be taken immedi-
ately to a physician to receive temp
orary immunity serum now in the
hands of local doctors. The serum
does not give the child permanent
immunity, but, if administered
promptly after exposure, will either
prevent development of the disease
at that time, or modify the severity
of the case.
Children under the age of three
are in particular danger from the
disease, which has more serious eff
fects in the lower age brackets.

If you are patron of the local
schools, are you:
Distressed about the antiquated
buildings in which your children
spend the major portion of their
day, nine months of the year?
Do you find teachers salaries as
deplorable as the conditions under
which they work?
Are you shocked at Maryland's
low rating among the school systems
of the nation?
Do you want better schools for
the children of Hagerstown and
Washington County?
If your answer is YES" tonight's
the night for you to put in an APP
pearance at Broadway School, where
the first mass meeting of it's kind
ever called in these parts by a P-T.A.
group will get under way at 8 p. m.
With the unqualified approval of
the Washington County PIT A.
Council, the Broadway Wayside
group, which has devoted its pro-
gram for the past several months
to a study of the local schools and
the State system, has requested the
Board of County Commissioners,
(Whose duty it is to see that sufficient
funds are allotted to administer and
maintain a modern and adequate
school system) to have a spokesman
present to advise what corrective
measures have been taken to correct
the present shocking condition and
what may be expected in the future.
Editors note: The Board has des-
ignated Charles F. Wagaman, At
torney to the Board, to be their
spokesman
In addition to a spokesman from
the Commissioners ,all candidates for
County Commissioners, the State
Senate and the House of Delegates,
have been invited to attend the
meeting and be introduced to patrons
present. Candidates will not be
asked to speak when introduced,
but will have an opportunity to do
so voluntarily in the open forum
which will follow the talk by the
representative of the Commissioners.
Mrs. Samuel Strife, president of
the Broadway Wayside PIT. A.,
stated Monday that is is important
that emphasis be placed on the fact
that the meeting has not been called
to condemn the present Board of
Education or the incumbent Commits
sioners.

II. Mills Fires
The Opening Gun
Accuses Opponent Of Being
Controlled By The "Old Poll
tician From The Discard.


In an open letter to Maryland Re
publicans, which he released to the
press on Monday, Herman l.. Mills,
who is opposing Theodore r. Nc
Keldin in the Republican Primary
for Governor, accuses Mr.. McKeldin
of being controlled by what Mr..
Mills calls the "Old Politician from
the Discard" and calls upon the Re
publican Party in the State to fight
to preserve the Farty in the State.
Mr.. Mills letter follows:
Reports from the TAFT Political
Headquarters in the city hall in
Baltimore have it that Mr.. Nickel
din was refused permission to re-
tire from the primary ace for the
Republican gubernatorial nomina-
ton by the old politician from the
discard Thus Mr.. McKeldin has
been compelled to turn down my
plea for full harmony and has forced
upon his party an Unnecessary prim-
airy. He is now running pell nell
down the path of sure defeat.
eve Republicans try to sympa-
thize with Mr. McKeldin in this
hour of his plight but Me really
can't. Yes, he carries a great load,
but it is a non-essential political
load which he willfully and against
all advice pulled from the political
ash can. This load has grown
heavier and heavier until today it
bows him down. It completely con-
trolls his every move, his every
thought - why, even his every am
bition.
"All this is bad enough but the
really dangerous thing about it all
is that this non-essential political
load is fast destroying the Repub-
lican Party in Maryland.
my candidacy and ultimate
nomination carries the guarantee
that we shall wipe away this non
essential political load; that we will
have a new chairman of the State
Central Committee and also a new
National Committeeman. Both will
be of the people, by the people and
for the people. No longer will we
Republicans be political slaves.
''My guarantee is that your new
chairman will be one who will work
for the party as a whole and not
for a chosen few. Your new Ma
tional Committeeman will be one
hundred per cent Marylander one
known to the rank and file and one
who lives twelve months of the year
in Maryland and can be approached
by rich and poor alike.
''To make flowers grow one must
destroy all weeds by pulling them
up. and throwing them in the ash

white girl, instead of, as is common
ly believed, that of an Indian chief.
Here are the facts, as related by Mr.
Miller:
The government of the United
States, in 1925, made an offer of
$1,000 for the most acceptable de-
sign to be placed upon the new cent
coin soon to be issued.
Some Indian chiefs travelled from
the Northwest to Washington to Wis
it the Great Father, and then jour-
neyed to Philadelphia to see the
mint. After the chief engraver had
shown them through the mint, he
invited them to his home. His
daughter, Sarah, aged 10, greatly
enjoyed the visit of her fathers
guests and during the evening, to
please her, one of the chiefs took off
his feathered headdress and placed
it on her head.
In the company was an artist, who
Immediately sketched Sarah and
handed the picture to her father, Mr..
Longacre, knowing of the competi-
ton for a likeness to go upon the
new cent, decided to enter the sketch
Of his daughter and, much to his
surprise and delight, it was chosen
by the officials from the more than
hundred sketches submitted. The
new penny remained in active cir
culation for nearly a century and
it is believed that the penny bear
ing the face of Sarah Longacre has
gone into more hands than any other
American coin.
If you look closely, you will notice
Sarah's hair projecting below the
helmet and hanging down her back.
