Replacement Of British Troops
in Palestine with a volunteer
police force, composed of veterans
Of all faiths and all nations, was
advocated by Milton H. Richman,
of Hartford, Connecticut, National
Commander of the Jewish War
Veterans of the United States Of
America, in an open letter to Sec
rotary of State George G. Mar
shall.
Citing the recent successful ac-
ton taken with respect to the
state of war between the Neither
lands and Indonesia, Commander
Richman asked that the United
States delegate to the United Ma
lions be instructed to introduce a
resolution requesting action by the
U. N. to assume authority in the
Holy Land dispute. The letter
asked that all British troops and
police be removed from Palestine,
and volunteered the resources of
the Jewish War Veterans of the u.
S. A. to aid in recruiting an inter-
faith force that would occupy the
Holy Land under United Nations
jurisdiction.

Lynch Prosecution
(Washineton Postl

(WaShlngtOn PoSt)
 The State of North Carolina seems determined to treat lynchng crime. It may be that its effort to prosecute the men who took Goodwin Bush from a Northampton County jail last May-and from whom he escaped before actual ynching took pace-will encounter the stone wall of local prejudice that frustrated South Caroinas recent efforts punish the Greenville lynch mob Already Judge J. Paul Frizelle sitting a special committing magistrate at the behest of Gov R. Gregg Cherry under 50- year-old State ant-lynchng law has felt obliged to free six of the accused of participation in the South Carolina case, that confession made to FBI agents admissible evidence only against the defendant who made it.
 Judge Frzelle has, however, held for action by grand jury the confessed leader of the lynch mob together with the jailer from whose custody the prisoner taken The jailer is charged with con- spiracy-a charge which, if substantiated would rant Federal intervention under the civil rights sta tutes But such intervention seems scarcely necessary since Judge Frzee appears to be pushing the charge with full sense of its seriousness and odiousness prisoner; by his confession, although subjected to threat he actually cooperated with the lynchers You led the men to BuShs cell and pointed him out" the judge charged Not once did you ask beg them to desist I couldn't leave this courtroom with my self-respect if did call you to answer to these charges"
 In this sort of determination by State authorities to uphold their laws and institutions lies the best corrective for the lynchng evil It North Caro- lna's system of justice which defied and violated by the lynchers and by the ailer ignored the responsibilities of his office. North Carolina best bring the volators to account. The example it is setting is a salutary one, and hope that the end result will be consistent wit hthe principles of democratic justice the beginning has been.

SOLUTION FOR GREECE

Working behind the U. N. scenes, Australia's fortnight Foreign Min ister Evatt has evolved a solution to the touchy Greek question which he plans to drop in the Gen. eral Assemblys lap.
 The able Australian will ask the General Assembly to issue cease fire order to both the Greek Government and the guerrillas af- ter which the Greek Government would issue general amnesty guaranteeing pro-Soviet guerrilla forces complete freedom if they come down from the mountains. Such amnesty offers have been made in the past, but the guer- rillas never trusted the reaction ary Greek Government, always feared reprisals.
 Under the Evatt plan, the U. N, not the Greek Government, would guarantee amnesty. It would send picked team of experts to make sure civil liberties were granted the mountain warriors, and to make certain they were given some means Of re-establishing

SOURCE OF ALARM

1t is not at all surprising that the figures Tor the rising of divorce in the United States should DC
 source of alarm in many quarters. Whereas in l89O six marriages in 100 ended in divorce, today one out of every five married couples tell it to the Judge Some socologists predict that in less than 20 years from now least 5l per cent of our marriages will be dis solved in the courts.
 The rapid increase in the divorce rate has been blamed variousy the exploitation of home failure by the press radio and motion pictures well on the axity and diversity of the laws. Recently the Rev Edgar Schmiedeler of Washington D. G. speak ing at the Family Life Conference at Xavier University said that the loopholes the laws throughout the nation invited divorce
 Judge John A. Sbarbaro, who sits on the divorce bench of Cook County, Illinois, in one of the worlds largest courts has just published book called Mar riaee Is On Trial" He contends that divorce is no antidote to the little things" which the grounds for the failure of so many marriages He makes two suggestions which he believes relieve the threat by divorce to social system He first proposes a general law of the land to abolish the present dl1 ferences State divorce and marriage laws, similar to the amendment to the Constitution proposed in 1924 by Senator Capper of Kansas. Second, careful course of training for young people and require that all applicants for marriage present certi- ficate showing they have passed the test.
 His advice to couples who feel their marriages are approaching failure-that they think the remain ing advantages their marriage and the disadvantages of divorce-s modification of the wellknown time the great healer" remedy. Strange as it may seem this remedy proved most effcacious in of the remotest spots in the world but in country which approaches the sociologists ideal. That country is Iceland
 Here is what Lord Dufferin had to say of divorce in Iceland in his Letters from High Latitudes, writ ten in 1856: The law with regard to marriage, how ever is sufficiently peculiar When from unhappy i,lcompatbility of temper married couple live so

problems to overcome in feeding Europe:
 l. Lack of collars to pay for wheat.
 9 Lack of freight cars to send wheat to the seaboard.
 3. Europeans don't collect their own wheat.
 In Greece, for instance, Ander- son discussed food problems with the Greek Agricultural Minister, found Greece had wheat har- vest of 100000 tons, but actually collected only 50,oo0 tons from Greek farmers When the U. S Secretary of Agriculture asked the Greek Minister of Agriculture why the balance wasn't collected, the latter threw up his hands.
 There might be a change oi Government" he exclaimed
 50 what?" replied Anderson Its not up to us to send you wheat when you have it, but don't use it."
 Anderson also found and will probably report to the Cabinet that in France, the Minister of Agri- culture has fixed the price of wheat at S423 bushel. In Ar gentina, the farmer is getting S5 a bushel.
 "Yet they expect to buy wheat from us for s250," says the Cabi- net member who took an oath to protect the interests of the Ameri- can farmer.
 What Anderson will advise Tru- man, therefore, is that Europeans have forgotten the other half of the Marshall plan-namely, that in addition to help from the United States, European nations must also help themselves.

Private Flying
(New York Times


 After burst of overoptimism the personal air craft industry dropped into good deal of a tail spin Encouragement for it to be found however in studies of airport which have been made public by the Air Transport Association. These show that for the first half of this year civilian private aircraft have overwhelming majority both airline transports and military aircraft in airport utilization Itinerant and local fers using such private craf- accounted for than "A per cent of the alndings and take-offs in that period against about 16 per cent for commercial carriers and per cent for Army and Navy airplanes. The figures which are based summaries furnished from control towers to the Civil Aeronautics Administration, show that there has been 61 per cent gain in landings and take-offs whole in the United States and its possessions during the six months The impressive growth of peacetime flying is clearly reflected by these statistics.

 Certainly these figures should stimulate the move ment to increase and improve the existing system of arpors. especially those best suited to personal air craft, so that still wider utility may be provided for the private arpane.

 Gardner, homespun philoso- pher, who knew the fiber of the American people as few others, would have advised the Attlee Government on how to avoid rub bing American public opinion the wrong way; would have been a great interpreter of British prob- lems to the USA.
 Few people could have taken his place, and it is probable that his torians will evaluate Max Gard ner's death as the most serious ,tlow Anglo American friendship has suffered in a decade.
 Note-The British Embassy in Washington, more high-hat than the Labor Government in London, never really understood Max Gard rars homespun qualities, even failed to send representative to bis funeral in North Carolina. And at a dinner given by Mrs. A. Nit chell Palmer for President Tru- man and Chief Justice Vinson, Lord Iverchapel remarked to Mrs. Gardner: T am so glad to see you among this kind of people. !" Apparently he thought the Gard ners went out with too many or dinary folks.

 This follows the successful pat tern established by the U. N. Se- curity Council in dealing with the thorny Indonesian war Here the U. N issued ceasc-fire order, put it's moral weight behind the order, and made it stick.
 Russias Gromyko voted for the cease fire order in Indonesia but will try to block similar move in Greece.
 If, despite Gromyko, the Evatt scheme works, the Greek problem will be a long way nearer solu- ton.

there should be similar code OF
ethics for salt water anglers. Surf
casters universally follow such a
code, but when the rock and trout
surface in sight of more than one
or two boats, almost always there
is some fish pig who charges in on
the school, putting the fist down
and spelling the sport for not only
themselves, but every other angler
on the scene.
Etiquette is nothing more than
the practice of sportsmanship, and
in instances of this sort boils down
to following the Golden Rule. Sur
face feeding fish, particularly rock
fish, are wary creatures, especially
at this season when top waters are
warm and the schools scattered and
small in numbers. There Is no sense
in any boatman charging into a
school under any circumstances.
Every party-boat captain, anxious
to put his anglers into the fish,
knows that by circling the school,
their bats cut through it without
too much alarming them, and gov
erns himself accordingly. There are
fish aplehty and waters are wide.
If there isn't room in the circle for
your boat, the decent thing to do
is to hunt another school.
