A British village misses the daughters
ii married off to the friendly Yanks

TITS true that the presence of the
l. American Army on British soil
was wryly referred to as the "occu-
patton" And there is real relief
in the voice OF the Londoner who
says, "At last we can get a taxi"
There are, nevertheless, many
Britons and Americans who can
attest to a kind of friendship dur
ing the war that was rare among
fighting allies. For one thing, the
British and Americans spoke the
same language. Secondly. for all
their social aloofness. the British
are hospitable. Finally. it was i'm
possible for them not to like the
individual CT who handed out
gifts and who, when visiting,
helped out with the dishes.
MARRIAGES we're inevitable. But

UN DISPATCH

Flushing Meadows (JPS). =
Things have changed since the
special Palestine session last
spring. You sense this in the
speech of newspapermen, in the
attitude of delegates. Last spring
the Jews were an annoying ap-
pendage to the complicated Middle
East problem, but now, less than
half year later, the Jews are
spoken of with considerable de-
gree of defense, no longer pitt
full group of social pleaders, but
candidates in the near future for
membership in the UN, a future
Middle East ally.
You walk into the delegates
dining room at Flushing Meadows
and ask for the table of the "JeW-
ish delegation, and the walters
direct you to the table at which
the Jewish Agency staff is lunch
ing. The glamour boys of the
American League for a Free Pal
estine and the Hebrew Committee
for National Liberation-the Berg
son crowd-are completely ignor-
ed by the press, so are the Stern

but leave their literature on the

Altho the SOS Committee (Sup-

There has been change in the
place to which clothing donations
should be taken. The Sonkin gar
age on the southwest corner of
N. 1st and Drachman, with the
garage facing Drachman is open
all day, every day, to receive your
contribution. (The garage is be-
hind 1910 N. 1st.)
If during the next few weeks as
you examine the family's ward
robe for the winter, you come
across garments for which you
have no further need, which are
still in good condition, give them
to sos. People in DIP camps are
even more threadbare than last
year and this winter will probably
be harsh one with the greater
scarcity of fuel there. Clothes
will be their main, if not only
protection against the cold.
