The Outlook Says:

Mrs. A. B. Warfield returned last
week from a months visit with rel
atives in Missouri. She was called
to Pierce City, Mo-, by the illness
of her mother, Mrs. c. A. Ridpath,
and also visited there with her sis
ter, Mrs. T. S. Major. At Butter
field, Mo-, she was the guest of
her father, j. F. Nicola. During
her stay Mrs. Warfield had as her
guests for several days, Mr.. and
Mrs. John Kuzma of st. Louis. Mrs.
Kuzma and Mrs. Warfield had both
served in World war II. They went
through basic training together and
later served in the same WAC air
corps in Europe. Mr.. Kuzma was
in the medical corps.
Meeting at 2 o'clock Friday after
noon at the Methodist church, the
Woman's Society of Christian Ser
vice was presided over by Mrs. Ed
ward L. Coombs, president. Mrs. C.
w. Laird and Mrs. p E. Noel gave
reports on the conference held at
Great Falls. Announcement was
made that the annual bazaar will
be held at the church Saturday,
Nov. %, beginning at 1890 a. m.
Mrs. V. f. Shay was in charge of
the program, and devotionaIs were
led by Mrs. Kenneth Walker. When
lunch was served the hostess COM
mittee comprised Mrs. Leonard Fer
rim, Mrs. j. Melvin Williams and
Mrs. r. c. Colson.

Dukes Loyalty to Wife
Wins Support of Public

LONDON. - The Duke of Wind
sor's unfagging loyalty to his
American-born wife and his re-
fusal to attend court functions
without her are slowly winning
him the support of the British
public and some newspapers in
the royal feud that has kept the
Windsors in virtual exile for 10
years.
Because of the social ostracism
which has barred the Baltimore
born divorcee from a place in
British royal society, the duke re-
fused to attend Queen Mother
Mary's 80th birthday anniversary
party. Considerable conjecture
also surrounded the dukes invi-
tation to the wedding of his fa-
vorite niece, Princess Elizabeth.

New Electron
Gun Developed
Generates Cosmic Rays and
Highest Voltage Ever
Produced by Man.

PALO ALTO, CALF. - A small
atom smasher that will generate the
first artificial cosmic rays and the
highest charge of electricity ever
produced by man was revealed al
Stanford university.
The three-foot-long electron lin
ear accelerator, a tiny cousin to the
cyclotron, already has produced
energies of more than 10000 elec-
tron volts.
The new model may develop one
billion electron volts-10 times as
much energy as produced by any
other atom-smasher The model will
be 200 feet long.
Initial successful experiments with
the electron accelerator were dis
closed by DR.. William w. Hansen,
director of Stanford university's mi
crowave laboratory and co-inventor
of the Klystron, which was the heart
of wartime radar.
Make Cosmic Rays.
DR.. Hansen said the pipe-like little
accelerator would make cosmic
rays - the mysterious light energy
which bombards the earth from out
er space - available in laboratories
for the first time.
The secret of cosmic rays has
been one of the great puzzles of
science. At present, virtually the
only way to study the rays has been
in stratosphere airplanes equipped
as flying laboratories.
With ready source of cosmic
rays available, DR.. Hansen said sci
ence now may learn many new
"secrets" of the universe.
The accelerator also will offer
another and cheaper means of gain
ing information about the makeup
of the electron, which is one of the
particles of matter.
And it will produce radioactive iso-
topes similar to those now being
made in atomic piles.
Simpler and Cheaper.
Atomic disintegration takes place
in the accelerator when a speeding
electron has been impaired tremen-
dous energy by acceleration, then
strikes an atom in its path.
The process is similar to the CYCLIC
tron, except that the atomic "bul-
let" is different part of the atom
and is shot in a straight line in
stead of being whirled in circle in
a magnetic field.
DR.. Hansen said his accelerator is
much simpler and cheaper to build
han the cyclotron or the syncho-
ron, another type of atom-smasher,
and appears limited in the energy
which it can produce only by the
ime, trouble and expense to build
bigger accelerators.
The electron linear accelerator
vas constructed at Stanford under
| contract with the office of naval
esearch.

out that instrument flying in this

Highly critical of the armed

traffic on them, while at the same
time private flying languishes for

Mr.. Stetter said his group hoped
"to break down" the present position
of the city heads and to begin ex-

said the committee had selected

Under the act Of Congress making

Abdullah Reported
Planning To Capture"
Part Of Palestine
BY BERL CORALNIK
(JeWish Telegraphic Agency
Correspondent

JERUSALEM, (JTA) = Sensa-
tional reports that King Abdullah
of Transjordan has just proposed a
new solution" OF the Palestine
problem under which Arab desert
forces loyal to him would occupy
substantial areas of Palestine with
tacit British agreement, have been
heard here.
According to those reports
which have been given a certain
amount of credence here, Abdullah
advanced this scheme when he
called on 1t. Gen. Sir Evelyn Bar
ker, retiring British commander in
Palestine. The Transjordan puppet
ruler said to have proposed that
his force of 1.-TWO battle-ready divi-
sions' sweep into Palestine and
occupy most of the country except
Jerusalem and the Mediterranean
coast.
The British forces now in Pales-
tine, numbering more than 10000
would, according to Abdullah's SEN
sational proposal, remain neutral
in the face of this friendly inva-
sion and would pin down the Jew
ish terrorist" forces to prevent
them from offering resistance. The
only opposition that could be ex-
peeted would be from the die hard
Husseini faction, the followers of
Hal Amin ell Husseini, exiled Mutt
of Jerusalem, whose family fued
with the Hashimites, Of which fam
lily Abdullah is member, has ex-
listed for generations.
Captured" Palestine Territory
Would Be Incorporated
Into TransjOrdan
The territory to be occupied by
Abdullah's forces would, presum-
ably, be incorporated into his
Transjordan kingdom. The remain
ing areas would eventually be pro-
claimed an autonomous Jewish
territory, although the Negev-
the southern desert-would be re-
tanned as British possession.
Little or no opposition would be
expected from the Arab states ex-
cept possibly Syria and Lebanon,
which fear Abdullah's ambitions
to rule a united Arab kingdom
embracing those two countries and
Palestine.
Providing that Abdullah's occu-
patton of Palestine was presented
as a "fait accompli," it is asserted
the scheme could be made pala-
table to the British public. Bri-
tain's military position in the Mid
die East would be maintained by |
this solution" it is pointed out,
since the British would remain in
complete control Of communica-
lions, would have free use of the
Negev for air bases, and would
hive all of Abdullah's territory for
the garrisons land other installa-
lions they require following their
from Egypt.

ZION CONCERT BAND
LOSES ITS OLDEST MEMBER

In the recent passing of Harry
Davis, Zion Concert Band has
lost it's oldest member in point
OF years of service. He became
a member of Zion Band in 1904
and was the only remaining
member of the band who went
with DR.. John Alexander
Dowie on the New York vista
ton. At that time the band as
sisted greatly in the services
held in Madison Square Gar
den in that year.
Harry was seldom absent
from rehearsals and was in his
place at all times. He was the
malnstay of the bass section
Tor many years and travelled
many miles in parades and
marches carrying his big cir
cular tuba.
Forty-three years service is
a long time in any organiza-
ton. He has played under the
baton of every conductor of
Zion Band since it's organiza-
ton, from Conductor Fred
Bosworth to our present Con-
ductor, David McElroy, who
was only fodder when
Harry started playing.
Zion Concert Band will miss
him sorely but we know that
when our time comes, Harry
will be waiting on the other
side to greet us.

From time to time, it is of the
utmost Importance to pause in our
efforts to point out and help elm
mate faults in whites that are
detrimental to us, and to analyze
our own shortcomings which
hinder us al a group. After all,
no group is so virtuous, so devoid
of defects in conduct that it can
place itself above reproach. There
are, to be sure, reasons why, for
example, the crime rate among
Negroes is proporitionately higher
than among whites, the said rea-
sons being in good measure a re-
suit of racial discrimination and
economic deprivation. But that is
no excuse to relax in our at
tempts to self-criticize, to work
assiduously to simmer down some
of our own faults.
In this connection it has come
to the attention of the Daily Ex-
press that there is a heavier loss
of borrowed books from the West
Side branch library than from any
other branch in the Dayton library
system. W. feel that this fault is
entirely inexcusable, for if there
is any organization in Dayton that
has given Negroes fairer breaks in
employment and in treatment than

with it's mixture of Generals, en-

whom descended on the town from
many diverse places must have
been a bizarre war center.
If the somewhat weird circum-

milder level it must have been an

this lack of appreciation this lack
of Cooperation is the sheerest' of
follies. Not only does it make a
black mark with those who try to

It causes a heavy drain on the

new books and to replace older
titles, and to gain much deserved
salary increases for an over-work-
