Pusteurized Milk
An Appreciation

The biggest health help we have
had is the Milk Pasteurizing Plant
that the Henry Industries (the phone
book lists it as the Henry Ice and
Coal Cor has nearly completed.
The fact that we have such wide
awake and cooperative dairymen
is a great aid too. With four cases OF
Undulant Fever, which comes from
milk, already reported, milk users
have needed no further urging to
switch to pasteurizing milk even
though it costs a little more.
Milk cannot be collected at the
plant. processed. and placed in steril-
lied containers without expense. The
higher price to consumer is the price
of safety. A case Of Undulant fever
can bring as much expense to Q
family as many years Of added milk

Polish Peasant Chiefs
By the Associated Press

WARSAW, Nov. II, LeftiSt
members of the Polish Peasant
Party prepared today to consolidate
their control of the organization by
electing to top positions three men
who led the opposition to the
party's former president, Stanislaw
Mikola jczyk, now voluntary exile
in London.
The tilree-nominated yesterday
without opposition for president,
vice president and secretary of the
party's Supreme Council-are Jozef
Niecko, Czeslaw Wyech and 'Kazi-
mierz Banach.
Mr.. Mikolajczyk, who reached
London after fleeing Poland with
several other Polish peasant leaders,
consistently opposed the Commu-
nist-dominated government when
he was president of the party. The
party now is pledged to cooperate
with the government.
The Warsaw press yesterday fea-
tured what it described as the text
of a 1914 letter from Sir Alexander
Cadogan of Britain to Mr.. Mikolaj-
czyk, then Premier of the London
Polish government, pledging Brit
aims support of Poland's new west
ern frontier, which cut into prewar
Germany.
The Parliament accused Mr. Mi
kolajczyk of acting traitorously in
failing to disclose existence of the
letter to the Polish government.

WeicheI Again Asks Curb
On Shipments TO Russia
Rx the Asseeioted Press

Chairman Weichel of the House
Merchant Marine Committee re-
newed today his demand that the
United States stop shipping every
thing to Russia" and insist on the
return of IS merchant ships he said
were lend-leased to the Soviet.
1T is not consistent with Secretary
Marshall'S stop-communism program
for us to keep sending supplies to
Russia" Mr.. Weichel said in an in
tervlew. He added:
American owned ships operated
by the Russians are carrying every
ting imaginable to the Soviet and
are loading at United States ports.
Customs has been granting them
clearance, apparently by orders Of
the President himself
Mr.. Weichel said he is calling
upon every Government agency in
volved to supply the committee with
a list of all shipments to Russia
since the end of the war.
The State Department last week
reported that some lend-lease ma
terials are still going to Russia. But
the department emphasized the
goods were acquired by the Soviets
before Congress ordered the war
time program halted last year. These
shipments have ben declining and
soon will be completed, Commerce
Department officials said.

Bus Segregation Case
Argued in Richmond
By the Associoted Press

RICHMOND, Va, Nov. ia
colored passenger who refused to
sit in the rear of an interstate bus
in Virginia may be fined for dis
orderly conduct If his refusal "an-
noys" other passengers or the bus
driver, Attorney General Harvey B.
Apperson argued today before the
Virginia Supreme Court of Appeals.
Mr.. Apperson made his first per-
sonal appearance before the court
since he succeeded Justice Abram
P. Staples last month to argue the
commemorative side in the racial
segregation law case.
The Attorney General participated
in argument on the appeal of Lottie
Taylor from a IS fine imposed on
her in the Circuit Court OF Fairfax
County on a warrant charging vio-
lation of the disorderly conduct
statute.
Evidence was that the colored
woman had boarded Virginia Stage
Lines bus in Washington to ride
to Madison County. She refused
to move to the rear of the bus from
her original seat five places from
the front: after the bus had been
delayed for more than an hour be-
cause of the incident, the driver
swore out warrant against her.
James r. Raby, colored attorney
of Alexandria, recalled that the
United States Supreme Court has
ruled that Virginias Jim Crow
statute is unconstitutional as far as
it applies to passengers on interstate
buses. He took the position that
bus companies cannot accomplish
by regulation what the State itself
cannot accomplish by statute.

Organization 10 Unite
|A|I Jewish Activities
I'm Nation Outlined
BY the Associated Pres,

NEW YORK, Nov. 1.-THE pro-
gram for establishment of perma-
nent organization to coordinate all
Jewish activities in the Nation was
outlined yesterday by spokesmen of
the American Jewish Conference.
The plan was discussed by 500
representatives of Jewish groups in
New York in preparation for a con-
ference in Chicago November %
through December l, at which the
plan will be submitted to the ma
tional organizations for adoption.
The program. prepared by the
American Jewish Conference, pro-
vides for new organization to rep
resent the American Jewish COM
munity in both national and inter-
national affairs. The new central
agency would work through existing
organizations and coordinate ana
direct their efforts, supplanting the
conference, a temporary setup.
Foreign Links Provided.
Cooperation with organized Jew
ish communities in other countries.
including the Jewish Agency for
Palestine, is included In the pro-
gram, which was presented to the
meeting by DR.. Maurice E. Eisen-
drath, president Of the Union OF
American Hebrew Congregations.
The program designates the pro-
posed new organization as the rep
resentative of American Jewry "in
Iall representations before the
United States Government and
its departments, intergovernmental
agencies and the United Nations
and in all public relations con-
nected herewith"
The temporary conference was
formed in August, 1943, to correlate
the activities of So organizations to
meet postwar problems, and the
new group is designed to continue
similar work on a larger scale. The
meeting in Chicago will be the con-
ference's fourth session.
To Combat Anti Semitism.
DR.. Eisendrath said the new
organization also would act "in the
QeleIlSe VI UCWlSll 1lSAlGS AA VAAC
United States and in opposing anti
democratic forces and tendencies in
American life, in combating anti
semitism, and in the field of over
seas relief and rehabilitation"
Some of the delegates objected to
the program in its present form.
among them DR.. Isaac Toubin of
the American Jewish Congress.
He said the congress regards the
plan as inadequate and violative
of the basic principles on which
such democratic organization
must be founded. The congress, he
said, recently adopted resolution
saying "the proposed organization
cannot serve as foundation on
which a more adequate and sub
stantial structure can at some
future date be reared"

Gabriel Turbay Dies;
Former Colombian
Ambassador Here
BY the Associated Press

PARIS, Nov. 17.-Gabriel Turbay,
At, former Premier and Foreign
Minister of Colombia, died here to-
day
Mr.. Turbay was Colombian Am
bassador to the United States from
1889 to 1942 and again from 1874
to 1945. He was defeated last year
in the campaign for President of
Colombia.
He was preparing to return to
his homeland after long stay
abroad, having been recently elected
a Senator. He had been staying
in Paris after a trip through Italy,
Spain and Switzerland.
Mr.. Turbay was one of the lead
ers of Colombia's Liberal Party for
many years. He was made Premier
of Colombia in 1888, when he was
only 80 years old
Mr. Turbay was considered a good
friend of the United States. He
advocated full participation in in
ternational and Pan-American or
ganizations. At the 1912 Rio de
oo3iOAo SOll1Cl CIlCCS llS llGTUuuCeQ
a resolution for severance of rela-
tions with Axis powers.
During his presidential campaign
he suffered more criticism from dis
sident liberals than from conserva-
t1ves. On one occasion he was
stoned by mob.
His parents were Syrian immi-
grants, and the fact he could not
claim Colombian lineage was con-
sidered mis- greatest political handi-
cap.
Mr.. 1urbay, who was unmarried,
arrived in the Capital in 1899 as
Ambassador. He resigned because
of i'll health in 1912 and returned to
Colombia, where he became Minister
Of Foreign Affairs. This job he also
resigned after a short time and
returned to the United States for
medical treatment. In 1914 he was
appointed Ambassador to the United
States again and held the position
until 1945.
When Mr. Tlrbay arrived in
Washington for his first tour of duty
he was one of the youngest Ambas-
sadors in Washington and, being
single, received considerable atten-
ton from Washington hostesses.
