STRONG FORCES URGED BY DAV

A strong eight point national de- fense program was adopted by the Disabled American Veterans at its 25th national convention in Port land, Ore.
 The convention, which elected a World War II veteran, Lloyd F. Oleson of Ventura, Calf. as it's national commander, decried lap athy toward a state of prepared ness and approved these recom- mendations of the DAV National Defense Committee:
 l. Unification of the armed forces.
 2. Universal military training for a period of one year.
 3. Cutting off the supply of strategic materials to belligerent and aggressive nations.
 4. Expand the National Guard.
 5. Establish a strong Merchant Marine.
 6. Appoint a disabled veteran with combat experience to the peace conference.
 7. Keep atomic bomb secrets.
 8. Provide orientation courses
The Nome nugget., 1947-01-01

for members of the armed forces.
 Delegates to the DAV national convention in other resolutions condemned the Ku Klux Klan and urged prosecution of its members: resolved that November II should be known as Veterans Day" to observe the ending of both world wars.
 The convention also resolved that veterans priorities on govern ment surplus property remain in effect and asked that the War As sets Administration cut red tape to make purchases easier.
 Additional resolutions asked the Civil Service Commission to make a survey to determine if all per sons now getting veterans prefer ences in government positions are actually veterans; urged ten year suspension of immigration until the present desperate housing shortage is alleviated; commended the un-American Activities Com mittee of the House of Representa- lives; and urged universal finger printing.

pitched in and spent their eve
nings in refugee camps, sharing
in their songs and dances, listen
ing to plans for departure. A
beautiful spirit of camaraderie de-
veloped; some chaplains and their
assistants were even permitted to
enter the secret radio stations
which broadcast the latest ship
ping news in code to Palestine.
DistreSS-Danger
There was one critical moment
when the whole line of commun-
ications was threatened. An i'm
portant radio part was missing.
The Underground appealed to the
Americans for help. Days passed
without success. A ship was ap-
preaching the waters of the east
ern Mediterranean and there was
no way to send the word that
would mean safety for the hun
dreds of homeless aboard.
An American corporal, attached
to medical station, knew of the
crisis. But he had no access to
the signal corps supplies. One
night a lieutenant came to his
clinic for treatment. He had con-
tracted a veneral disease and beg
ged for off-the-record treatment.
The corporal was sorry but the
answer was no-until he looked
twice at the lieutenant's insignia
the crossed flags of the signal
corps! A slow grin lit his face.
'I'll break army regulations If
you will, lieutenant" said the
happy corporal. "You get me a
radio part from your supply room
and you'll have your treatment" "
The Arizona post., 1947-09-19
ReScuer

Word came to chaplain's office
that two high-ranking Haganah
leaders had been caught-dressed
in the uniform of British naval
officers-and were imprisoned by
the British in a village near the
Mediterranean. A message came
through from Palestine: the long
arm of the Haganah would reach
out and free them. But the COM
petent British would then set up
a dragnet from which it would be
virtually impossible to escape.
The plans had to be careful and
daring.
The hour was set; the place was
set. A chaplain started on a lei
surely drive along the highway,
while two men lay hiding in a
ditch at the roads edge. AT ex-
actly SOB A. NJ, the car stopped
and two men scrambled inside.
Within few days, the leaders
of the Haganah were on the high
seas, returning to their posts In
Palestine.
The Arizona post., 1947-09-19

That night the underground ra-
dio was back in operation.
European governments were
asked to cooperate with Britain
in preventing the exodus from
Europe. Publicly they announced
their sympathy with their har-
assed ally; privately they aided
the Jews to escape.
Once a chaplain was asked to
send a doctor to see a South
American consul. The worthy gen.
tleman was too i'll even to sit up;
certainly he was in no condition
to sign 1000 visas Cat 80 cents
per visaD. A medical officer was
dispatched promptly; the consul
sat up; and the certificates that
meant life to two thousand Jews
were duly signed.
British Intelligence, one of the
best in Europe, knew all shenan-
iganS. They sent out military po-
lice; the waters edge was guard
ed-but somehow the seas divided
and the Israelites marched on.
