taken to Oh Henry McLemore,
Mercy Me Hospital. Physicians say
he has fighting chance.
Jones was hurt when he was
sideswiped by heavily laden cart
driven by Mrs. Henrietta Smith, 81,
of 1855 Seabreeze boulevard. Mrs.
Smith suffered only minor injuries,
as did her seven-year old son, John,
who was riding in the top basket
in order to yank of price tags
better. Both Mrs. Smith and her
son were thrown clear Of the
wreckage and. fortunately, had
their falls cushioned by a display
of self-rising flour and dog biscuits.
Accounts Conflict.
Eyewitness accounts were con-
f1icting. Edward Edwards, butcher
in the Super -Duper Market, placed
the blame squarely on Mrs. Smith.
He said that when she picked up
pound of butter in his section her
cart was obviously exceeding the
speed limit, and that he turned to
his assistant and remarked that
unless she slowed down someone
was going to be hurt. The butcher
said he remembered the exact time
of the accident, too; that it took
place just as he was raising the
price OF pork chops two cents.
1.-THE butcher was contradicted
by Mrs. Eloise Pierce of Ocean
Dunes avenue. Mrs. Pierce said
that she had shopped with Mrs.
Smith for four years, that Mrs.
Smith knew every twist and turn
in the innumerable alleys of the
market, and that Mr.. Jones would
not have been hit hatl he not been
going up a one-way alley the wrong
way. Mrs. Pierce said that all women
knew the unwritten traffic laws,
were good, sound drivers, and that
it was the occasional man who came
shopping for his wife who caused
trouble.
"She told Chief of Police Johnny
Whelan, who reached the scene OF
the accident in time to see the Su-
per-Duper manager hit Mrs. Smiths
son John over the head with a pack
age of cereal, that wives who send
their husbands shopping are poten-
tial criminals.
"She claimed that driving Super
Duper Market cart was something
that could not be learned overnight.
You might just as well ask your
husband to drive in the Indianapolis
500-mile race, when all he knows is
how to drive the family car around
town. she said.
Fierce Competition.
'Mrs. Pierce admitted that women
drove swiftly, and even recklessly, in
Super-Duper Markets, but she in
sisted that 1t was necessary. She
pointed out that specials were Of
fered on a first come, first served
basis, and that competition was

bands, when shopping In Super
Duper Markets, be equipped with
crash helmets and that ambulances
be on call outside the main door.
He also said that he thought it
would be wise to place traffic officers
at key crossings. Unless these steps
are taken, the Chief said, this town
soon will be without husbands.
Bulletin! A late report from the
Oh Mercy Me Hospital said that
Jones, on awakening from coma,
was told by his physician that he
would be able to shop in Super
Duper Market again. Heaven for
bid Jones said, and dropped into
another coma"

This Changing World
Film Probe Revolves Around Question
Of Fifth Collmnist Activities

the United States and Russia since
VI day the Communists and Com
munist-front organizations have
followed Moscow's dictates. Amer
ica was never right; Moscow always
was.
Relations between the United
States and the Soviet Union have
now reached a breaking point. A
cold war" Is being waged by the
U. S. S. r. against this country.
The American way of life and all
it's leaders, regardless of political
afhliation, are villif1ed daily by the
Soviet through its press and radio.
American Communists and their
associates continue to follow the
pattern dictated to them by their
chiefs in Moscow. The slogan MY
country, right or wrong" appears to
be antiquated these days. But it Is
the slogan of the Communists, who
substitute the words my Russia
for MY country"
Fifth Columnists.
The official party organs IN
America devote most of their lead
columns to villifcation of the at
tempt of Representative Thomas
committee to bring out the fact that
some persons in Hollywood are
card" members of the party, and
as such are fifth columnists.
There can be no question Of i'm
pairment of the Communists con-
stitutional rights. The question to
which Mr.. Thomas so far has failed
to receive answers in the hearings
is: Are you a fifth columnist or
not?"
1t is admitted in the highest
quarters in this country that a
head-on clash with Russia is, a
distinct possibility. We must re-
member that the French were
utterly defeated by the Nazis in
1910, not so much because of their
military weakness as because OF
the effective and efficient work of
the fifth column, which was COM
posed of Nazis and Communists.
The leader of the French Com
munists, Maurice Thorez, deserted
from the French Army in 1910 after
he had been proved to be danger
GUS agitator and the brawls between
the various political parties could
no longer cover him. He went to
Russia, for which he was working.
The lamentable unpreparedness
of the French Army has been traced
to certain policies dating from 1886.
After that year and until France
finally went down in defeat the
minister for air was Pierre Cot, who
finally showed his true colors last
year when he became officially a
member of the Communist Party.
There could be no criticism for
prosecution of Nazi Bundists when
they tried to interfere with our
plans for national defense. The
same must be said now about the
Communists. 1t is not doctrine
which is on trial. but the partys
concealed allegiance to power
which describes itself as an enemy.

Shenandoah Trail
Shortest Way Home Is
Not Always The Safest

Shenandoah Trail, Feb. Sin re-
turning from the Guernsey-Noble
feeder calf banquet at Mt. Zion last
Thursday night, Jim Steiner, Noble
county,s soil conservationist decided
to take a short cut to his home
which led him into the swirling
waters of Buffalo creek which was
out of bank due to the heavy rains.
AS he could not 60 either way, Jim
abandoned both his wife and car and
removed as much clothing as the
laws of Ohio permit and started for
dry land. He succeeded in finding a
farmer with tractor and cable who
pulled him to state road 146, and re-
minded him that the longest way
around is sometimes the shortest
way home.
The banquet at Mt. Zion was at
tended by more than one hundred
cattle producers and their wives.
While Mr.. and Mrs. Alva Watson
were absent from home Friday the

Arab States May Take
Issue Of Palestine
Ito u. n. Immediately
By the Associoted Press

LAKE SUCCESS, N. Y, Feb. Is.-
Faris El-Khouri, Syrian representa-
tive to the U. N. Security Council.
indicated today that the Arab states
might place the Palestine case with
the United Nations before Great
Britain can take such action.
The 67-year- old Damascus lawyer.
who arrived in New York aboard
the Queen Elizabeth from London
yesterday, said he would begin talks
Immediately with other U. N. dele
gates on Palestine.
El-Khouri said some action must
be taken Immediately on the Holy
Land situation.
He criticized the British govern
ment as being "too docile" in dealing
with Palestine and declared that
the British should suppress i'm
mediately the Jews" in the Holy
Land.
IF the Jews are allowed to con-
tinue immigration into Palestine
he said, they will drive the Arabs
out of the country. immigration
should stop completely.
when the crusaders came to Pales-
tine many years ago they came
under the religious flag. Now. the
Jews are trying to do the same
thing
The Syrian diplomat said the only
solution to the Palestinian situation
was to make the country an inde-
pendent state where Jews and Arabs
can live together under the same
form of democratic government.

-Four D. {. Men Freed ;
Wrongly Identified

Because they were victims of mis-
taken identity, four Washington
men today were free after dis
missal yesterday of fugitive charges
placed against them here at the
request. of New Jersey authorities
last month.
The men appeared In Municipal
Court, where Detective Sergt. Will
liam B. Christian of the Metropol-
itan Police fugitive squad produced
letter from New Jersey police
stating the four were not the men
wanted. The letter added that other
arrests had since been made in con-
nection with an armed robbery in
Atlantic City, and that the four
local men only "resembled" the
suspects wanted.
The defendants, who had been
awaiting extradition hearings March
IL in District Court, are Samuel j
Hanna, 81, of the $500 block of Dix
street NE: John A. Kendrick, so
of the 1400 block of Belmont street
NV; Edward Wickline, 81, of the
800 block of Carroll avenue, Ta-
koma Park, Md, and John P. Byers
%, of the 1900 block of Holbrook
street NE.
Earlier this month Judge Nathan
r. Margold had overruled defense
motion to quash Hanna's arrest in
Maryland by Washington police, who
acted on a teletyped lookout" sent
| from New Jersey.
Meanwhile an $4,000 false arrest
suit filed by Hanna against Police
Supt. Harvey G Callahan and
other policemen still is pending in

Takoma Park Citizens
Discuss Transit Fare Rise

The proposal of the Capital Tran
sit Co. to increase fares on its street
car and bus lines was discussed last
night at a meeting of the Takoma
Park Citizens Association.
Reference was made to the re-
ported losses in fares and increased
cost of maintenance and operating
expenses during recent years, which
have resulted in the plan request
ing the Public Utilities Commission
for a fare increase. In the absenct
of sufficient information on the sub.
ject, the association adopted mo.
ton to withhold action.
The president of the association
was authorized to appoint repre-
sentative to attend meetings of tht

gates to the Federation of Citizens

Truman Still Studies
Extension Of Draft
sy The Associoted Press

The White House said today that
President Truman still Is working
on the problem of what to do about
the soon-expiring draft law.
Presidential Secretary Charles G.
Ross told reporters Mr.. Truman has
not decided what recommendation
he will make to Congress. The
President said at news conference
last week that he would send the
legislators a message on the sub
ject within few days.
Members of the House Armed
Services Committee said earlier that
conversation with military leaders
have convinced them there will be
no request for extension of the
draft law.
Instead, they said in private in
terviews, the Army and Navy soon
will launch an "all out" drive on
Capitol Hill for universal military
training.
The members were questioned
after attending second secret
meeting with Army and Navy heads
yesterday. The first session was
