When fifty-seven midwives as

of the proposed birth of the Arab
and Jewish states, this was very
much the case.
When the two states are laid in
their cradles, it will not have been
with a helping hand from their
Mandatory Nurse, the United
Kingdom. For perhaps the first
time in the history of the United
Nations, the United States spoke
sharply of Great Britain, when
referring to the difficulties placed
by the British in the way Of par

It was France that very nearly

subcommittee, which offered a

eve are turning a new page in
history" Henry Morgenthau, Jr.,
General Chairman of the United
Jewish Appeal, said. awe must
demonstrate at Atlantic City
whether we are ready for the new
challenge and the new opporturi-
ties for rebuilding the Jewish
people,"
The Atlantic City Conference
will establish the 1913 goal of the
United Jewish Appeal. With the
future outlook of the 100000
Jews of Europe hanging in the
balance, American Jewish leaders
are expected to effect q major
shift in the United Jewish Appeal
prOgram-from relief to recon-
structiOn and resettIement. OF
primary Importance will be the
determination at the Atlantic City
Conference Of the extent of the
American Jewish cOmmunity's
participation together with inter-
governmental agencies in financ-
ing greatly increased migration Of
Jews from the d. p. camps Of
Europe to Palestine.
High on the agenda also will be
the need to make available through
the United Jewish Appeal greater
resources for the reconstruction
of Jewish communities in Europe
which have been fighting an up
hill battle against economic in
stability and food shortages to
rebuild their social, economic and
cultural structures. In addition to
a comprehensive reconstruction
program, the need for a direct re-
lief program continues to be press
ing. In Rumania, for example,
fully so percent of the country's
$4,000 Jews are completely de-
pendent on Americas aid provided
through the United Jewish Appeal,
and in Hungary more than two
thirds of the country's remaining
10000 Jews are in need of assist
ance.
If Congress authorizes greater
flow of immigration to this cOun-
try, increased responsibilities will
devOIve on the American Jewish
community which must provide
for the reception, care and re-
settlement of the newcomers
through the United Jewish Appeal.
The 1913 needs and 1947 expend-
itures of the agencies of the Unit
ed Jewish Appeal-the Joint Dis
tribution Committee the United
Palestine Appeal and the United
Service for New Americans-wilI
be presented to the delegates for
consideration and discussion prior
to the adoption of goal for 1913.
A full report of the 1947 campaign
of the United Jewish Appeal,
which sought to raise $170, 000, 900
will also be made.
According to plans worked out
for the Conference, a full OppOr-
tunity will be afforded to COM
munity delegates to discuss the
1913 program. Many national and

alton of the Jewish position.

Taft Proposes Freezing Wages. And Prices

SAN FRANCISCO (P)-Senator Taft R.-Ohfo) proposed today that the nation act to level off prices and wages at point 50 to 60 per cent above that of 1889.
 In a politically-important ad- dress prepared for delivery here before the Commonwealth club, the Ohio senator asserted that prices must come down and that high wages can be maintained only through increased productiv- ity per man.
 Accusing President Truman of following a policy of planned in flation," Taft said that, neverthe- less, "the fundamental reason for high prices is the tremendous ;n- come of the American people to- day due to full employment ani high wages"
 Arguing that abnormal em- ployment' resulting from the present high rate of exports and accumulated domestic dem n d twill undoubtedly taper off," the chairman of the Senate's Republi- can policy committee said the country had better act to keep this change of pace gradual.
 ''I believe we may as well rec ognize that prices are permanent ly up above preWar prices" he said. Since both wages and prices have riSen-WageS on the whole more than prices-we had better work toward a stabilization of wages and prices at some new level, perhaps 50 or 50 per cert over 1889"

Grain Speculations To Be Controlled

WASHINGTON, (P)-Bad news for grain spectators shaped up in two branches of the government yesterday amid mounting concern over food and other prices.
 On Capitol Hill, chairman Hope R.-KasD of the House agriculture committee declared that unless the nations commodity exchanges themselves apply the brakes to the kind of trading blamed for sky rocketing food prices, then Con- gress should and must" impose its own restraints.
 Within the administration President Truman's cabinet com mittee on food appears headed for decision to clamp sharply lower ceiling on grain exports for the months immediately ahead. Officials believe such step would take some of the wind out of the speculative sails.

Truman Gave COP Congress No Cooperation
(By Jack Bell)

LOS ANGELES, (P - Senator Taft R. -Ohio promised yesterday that the Uncontrolled Congress will enact new public welfare program if the nations voters re- place President Truman with Republican in the l948 election.
 The Ohio Senator told a town hall audience that his colleagues in Congress now are "loath to pco- ceed with any program of this kind, if the initial setting up of the program is assumed by the present administration, which still believes in the concentration of all power in Washington"
 In a review of what he called the accomplishments of the 80th Congress, Taft said his party be- lieves that it should proceed with a program of public welfare" but added that it was opposed to measures which in effect give the government control and regula- ton over the field of health, hous- ing and education"
 Taft, who heads the Senate Re- publican policy committee, com plained that President Truman had given the COP Congress mo cooperation"
 Occasionally, of course, our views coincided," he said, "but if they did not do so there was no effort on the part of the President or his advisors to sit down with us and work out a satisfactory compromise. We were expected to do the cooperating"

Alaska Not Land of Milk And Honey For CheechakOs

SEATTLE, (P)-Frank l.. Oli- yer of Juneau, assistant attorney general for Alaska, declared here today that Alaska is definitely not the land of milk and honey for the inexperienced homesteader or the business man without a great deal of capital.
 There is plenty of room in Alaska for development, either by government or private capital" he added. But until that develop ment is actually started Alaska really is no place for newcomers from the States.
 Publicity about the opening of certain areas to pulp mills has brought many to Alaska. But this phase of Alaska development is only in the planning stage and of fers nothing for job seekers.
 Wages in some cases are quite high" he continued, "but they are more than offset by the high cost of living. Increased freight rates, general lack of adequate trans portation and shipping strikes cur rently are proving almost ruinous to Alaska's economic life

WAA SATELLITES VETS PURCHASING OF SURPLUS

The War Assets Administration regulations pertaining to the pur- chase of surplus personal proper ty by veterans for use in their own small business, professional or agricultural enterprise have been revised. The new procedure is designed to speed up disposals to veterans and 10 eliminate the preside -certification red tape.
 With the exception of industrial equipment, airplanes, laundry equipment, and farm equipment, it is no longer necessary for vet eran to be certified prior to a sale. Under the new procedure the vet eran is only required to show a copy of his release from the mili- tary service at the sale and to sign an ownership statement.
 A special form has been design ed to be used when a veteran de sireS to purchase by mail. This is not a form for blanket use but will be attached to each copy of future sales lists issued and will apply to the particular sale.
 Under the new procedure all awards at sales will be made on a First Come-First Served" basis with those veterans present and veterans with mail orders on hand in the WAA office at the opening hour of the sale considered to be First Come" Awards will no longer be made on the basis of the oldest date of certification.
 This system will provide a one stop service at sales and will thus save the veteran considerable time in purchasing surplus property. Future sales will as in the past be advertised through the neWSpa- perS in order that all veterans might be we'll informed of equip ment available for sale.
 No change has been made in "Set Aside" sales. When vehicles or office equipment is offered at Set Aside" sale it is only required that the veteran show a copy of his release from the military serv- ice to establish eligibility as a veteran.

British Press Assaults on Labor PARTY

Fears From Outside.
What fears they have come largely
from outside. There is, for instance,
the fear that the whole or CONT
mental Europe may fall to Commu-
nism-a fact that would be reflected
in Britain-and that the United
States will neither produce the
moral leadership nor sufficient
funds to halt 1t.
Interestingly, they do not blame
the government for the crisis with
the miners.
To quote one informant-who is
not 'in politics" and has a mind
trained in detachment-"the min
ing situation is pathological. For
generations the miners had the
toughest deal Of any part of British
Labor. Most of them are sons and
grandsons of miners who imbibed
as 1t were, at their mothers breasts
fury at their grievances and hatred
Of their lot-hatred of conditions
under which they would be locked
out for weeks and then dragooned
back at the owners will. Today
they are still cynical and looking for
snags, even when the mines are
nationalized under q working -class
government. No one could undo In

However, I shall not make up my

Intrigued BY Dewey.
While we are on this subject, I
may confess that I am particularly
intrigued by Gov. Thomas E. Dewey
(who, Of course, is not a candidate! y
He continues to tip-toe about the
country in felt slippers holding
whispered conversations behind
closed doors with Republican lead
erS. Since I last wrote about the
interesting Mr.. Dewey, he has taken
another trip away from Albany,
this time to a fair in Springfield,
Mass. When he was asked if he
believed that something had to be
done about the food shortage and
prices, he declined to comment.
However, it was evident that he
had been reading the press releases
Of the Agriculture Department. He
knew that there was a short corn
crop and he was even cognizant
OF the fact that corn is the basic
essential for milk and meat pro-
duction ." He was also aware
that the cost of beef was going up.

known that he had decided to sell

10, as he had originally intended" ;"
Now who could fail to be eiectri-

GOV. Dewey Of his views on such
questions as the Truman Doctrine !:
the Marshall Plan; food and coal
for starving and freezing Europe:
GI housing; prices; taxes; the re-

This Changing World
Alarming Reports From Italy and Greece
Behind Order for Forrestal Oath

Of Trieste Is threatening, however.
One Of Moscow's ablest hatchet men,
Vittorio Vidali, who learned all
about guerrilla warfare and street
fighting In Spain, has been in Tri-
este since June Is and has organized
a strong Communist Party composed
Of Italians and Slovenes. Because
he is native Of Trieste, no steps
can be taken against him. Allied
authorities in Trieste fear a violent
explosion by Vidalis partisans, who
rely on the support OF the Yugoslav
army stationed a short distance
from the free state.
At the same time Togliatti has
called some 100000 farm and in
dustrial workers on strike in North
ern Italy and may attempt to
overthrow the De Gasperi govern
ment soon. A mass demonstration
by all the strikers has been set for
Saturday, when he will make his
first attempt to do away with the
present provisional administration
of the republic.
If Togliatti fails in this effort
American military and diplomatic
observers expect him to concentrate
his activities on Northern Italy in
order to divide the country into two
parts, with the rich north becoming
an Independent peoples republic on
the Russian pattern.
Greek Situation Worse.
In Greece the situation is fal
worse. The number of guerrillas
operating in the north has increased
from about 10000 to $4,000. Their
incursions have become more fre.
quent and daring, while the Greel
army is growing weaker. Not only
are the men becoming disgruntiec
after long service with the armed
forces, but professional jealousy ha!
given rise to rows and quarrels be-
tween top commanding officers.
The appeal Of the new govern.
ment, headed by the Liberal Them.
istokles Sophoulis, to the guerrilla!
to surrender and become free ha!
had practically no effect. During
the seven days since this appeal wa!
delivered, less than 100 guerrillas
have surrendered.
The American observers wondel
when the stepped-up tempo of the
incursion will change into outright
invasion on a grand scale. 1t appear!
