Musings ..
by Mrs. IsadOre MOscOvitz

The Ninth Annual A. z. A. Min
strel which was shown in the
Jewish Center Sunday night
brought back memories of the
Minstrels we put on at the old
Y. M. H. A. on Duval street more
years ago than I like to mention
remember one year the cast
had the chutzpa to go on strike
because Pop Hertzenberg made us
work too hard :. After he apollo
gized we went back to rehearsal
with Pop Lieberman standing by
to see that our rights" were not
again transgressed Harry
Katz was the interlocator that
year =.
But Sunday night could not
but think whether in this year
when Winchell and Jewish groups
have behind them a strong cam
paign to erase Jewish dialect
jokes from the repetories of stage
and radio comedians whether it
behooves Jewish organizations to
stage theatricals that create an
obnoxious class picture of another
minority Or for that part
whether it is in good taste for our
public schools to sponsor such
performances That's some
thing for our leaders to think
about
After standing on the corner
of Forsyth and Laura for an hour
and a half Thursday obtaining
signatures on post cards to be
sent to President Truman asking
him to stand by the Zionists when
they come before the United Ma
lions I have decided that it was
about time someone put a stop
to some common belief about the
public
The reaction of the approxim-
ately 500 people who were stopped
and spoken to by Shirley Chard-
koff, Fran Klausner, and Sam
Greenberg, Mrs. Joseph Hackel,
Gladys Klausner, and Sam Schus-
ter was most revealing The
attitude of those who would not
stop was also significant !.
From few of these could almost
be smelled the fumes from
burning hatred but of the ma
jority of those who did not stop
there was the very annoying at
titude of cold indifference :.
Having worked this same corner
before on T. B. seal drives I know
that such an attitude is not re-
served for the Jewish problem
alone Having stood beside
workers in the Cancer drive I
know that a certain proportion of
Mr.. and Mrs. America doesn't
like to be bothered with other
peoples troubles
We had only one row and
that was with drunk who was
soon passified and one man
mistaking me for a non-Jew told
me to leave the Jews alone and
thew would take caro of +bo,,,

Of the programs that are financed
jointly on a matching basis.
The Senator said he thinks the
reverse rule should apply, namely,
that the States Should match what
ever the Federal Government ap-
propriates.
This question arose recently in
Senate hearings on the first def
cheney bill, over request for more
money for the rest Of this year for
payments to the States by the Fed
eral Security Administration for vo-
cational rehabilitation of handi-
capped civilians, Senator Bridges
said the Senate Committee was pre-
sented with an opinion from the
FSA legal staff holding that allot-
ments to the States for certain
phases Of the social security pro-
gram cannot be governed by the
antideficiency law. because Con-
gress, in subsequent amendments to
the Social Security Act, has given
express directions that State funds
be matched when required stand
ards are met.
FSA Opinion Given.
The purpose of the antidefciency
law was to bring about apportion-
ment Of appropriations so as to
make them last throughout the year
The legal opinion of the FSA pointed
out, however, that no ceiling was
placed on the amounts authorized
to supplement State expenditures for
certain social security programs, and
added:
"In other words, so long as there
Is money available which has been
appropriated and the State has per-
formed its share of the bargain
under the terms of the law, the duty
devolves upon the Federal Security
Agency and the Secretary of the
Treasury to make the necessary
payments so long as money is avail
able for that purpose. We believe
it to be inescapable that any at
tempt to prorate on the basis OF
moneys previously appropriated by
the Congress in order to make GER
tain that such appropriations will
last throughout the entire fiscal
year would constitute violation OF
the express mandate of the Con-
gress contained in the Social Sc
curity Act"
Before the hearings ended, how
ever, Senator Bridges served no
tice on the agency that. regardless
of what Congress may do this year
about granting a deficiency fund,
his committee would not entertain
a deficiency request next year.

|Hioh British Officials
Follow AhIee With
|BIasis ii Churchill
" shs A.sseisisd pr.ss

LONDON, April 26-Prime Min.
lister Attlee's Labor Government
turned to the attack against Its
conservative critics today in q de-
veloping British political war.
TWO high-ranking government
officials. Attorney General Sir Hart
ley Shawcross and Fuel Minister
Emanuel Shinwell, denounced VIM
ston Churchill personally and the
Conservative Party generally in
separate speeches. They followed q
pattern set in speech yesterday
by Mr.. Attlee who accused Mr.:
Churchill of @meanness," "ignor-l
allce" and Obsolete imperialism"
Churchill AssaiIs Waste.
In turn, Mr. Churchill In q letter
to q bye-election candidate today,
renewed his charges Of reckless
waste and gross mismanagement"
by the Attlee regime and declared
lab0 had made a mocker" Of its
election slogans.
AEtatement by q high-ranking
Laborite that the party planned a
tub humping" campaign because
some cabinet ministers were ir-
ritated by the barrage of Conserva-
tive criticism conceded with reports
that Mr.. Attlee planned to arrange
new general election in the fall,
seeking a new mandate to deal with
economic problems.
These reports were quickly denied
by Labor spokesmen who said the
rumors were spread by Conserya-
tives.
Tobacco Tax Criticized,
Sir Hartley denounced what he
called "the deliberate organization
of underground and anonymous
whispering campaigns" and said the
Conservatives were without policy
and leadership. Nobody really re-
CARDS Mr.. Churchill as the leader
Of the Tories" he said.
Mr.. Shinwell said Neither Mr..
Churchill nor his followers can lead
the country in the direction of
prosperity"
Mr.. Churchill said "The harsh
and clumsy tobacco tax, which
saves so small a portion of our
dwindling American loan, Is only a
part Of the price our under
nourished citizens will have to pay
for maintaining an army OF state
otficials to regulate. harass and pry
into every enterprise"

because 1t described itself as mon
profit" organization. .
Last week, the Internal Revenue
Bureau cancelled Aerodynamics' tax
exempt status and slapped tax lien
notices on two subsidiaries-Ken-
sington and the Air-Track Manu-
featuring Corp. of College Park, Md.
Each tax lien was for more than
100000 and was described as the
sum owed to the Government in in
come and excess profits taxes from
1941 to 1945.
Mr.. Maloney said he wanted to
know where Aerodynamics got its
money, whether one, Gasperi Paoli,
was recently employed by the Gov
ernment, whether any influence was
used to obtain contracts and why
the Maritime Commission didn't
include some Of the "extras" in its
original specifications.
Mr.. Maloney said he had been
told about Mr.. Paoli by two of the
Kensington company officers he in
terviewed yesterday. They identi-
fed Mr.. Paoli as the person in the
Aerodynamics office who partici-
pated in the original sale of Ken
sington to Aerodynamics, he said,
adding that the Kensington officers
recalled he was employed in some
part of the Government not long
ago.
Talks to Company Officers.
The Kensington officials, Mill R.
Herdelin, vice president, and John
E. Worthington, secretary and
treasurer, told Mr.. Maloney they
had been notified by Aerodynamics
that they were to be assistant sec
retary-treasurers of the parent
firm but that they had never func-
toned as officers.
Il told them they had been used
as a 'front.'" Mr.. Maloney said, "and
they admitted it. They seemed to
know very little about Aerodynamics
except that they had gotten notices
they were officers"
AS for the $4,000, he said he
had learned that Joseph E. Sheedy,
president of Kensington, told one
of the vice presidents he had s17o,-
600 from Aerodynamics on the
morning of March II but he didn't
have it In the afternoon because
the tax matter came up and Aero
dynamics wasn't going to throw
money in there to be taken over
by the Government"
Mr.. Maloney said he wanted to
know where Aerodynamics got the
$4,000
Calls Relations Peculiar"
The lawmaker described the rela-
tionship between Aerodynamics and
its Philadelphia subsidiary as q
peculiar setup." No dividends ever
were declared, he said, and Ken
sington officers were vague on
whether $75,0o0 given to the COM
pany by Aerodynamics was a loan
or q grant.
Mr.. Maloney said he had learned
Aerodynamics had paid of $780,
600 first mortgage and 100000 or
a second mortgage with Kensington
profits since 1945. In addition, Ken
sington paid Aerodynamics $4,000
presumably as part Of the refund
on the $4,000 loan or grant, he
said.
This tangled financing, together
with the unpaid taxes, was enough
to justify an investigation, Mr.
Maloney said. He emphasized thai
he also was interested in the Mari.
time Commissions role in the affair
Slipshod Methods Charged.
The commission, he said, is sup.
posed to award contracts to the low

"The simple and obvious purpose
of the undertaking." Mr.. Clemmer
said, '1s to instruct the violators as
best we can in all phases of prudent
handling of motor vehicles. A Sec
ond and related purpose is to give
individual violators an insight into
their own difficulties and a third
purpose Is to collect data for later
analysis and research"
The clinic Is operated by Curtis
Reid, superintendent of the jail.

rector of Vehicles and Traffic, and
