Trees for
Palestine
By Betty Miles

When actress Joyce Van Patten,
Il years old, was asked to serve as
co-chairman Of the Committee for
the Children's Memorial Forest in
Palestine, she had q suggestion. She
knew Richard Tyler, IA. would like
the job, too. He would, and their
partnership eliminated in a visit to
President Truman yesterday They
presented the President with GER
tificate for 1000 trees, which will
comprise "the Harry S. Truman
Grove" in the Children's Memorial
Forest in Palestine.
Richard is Protestant. Joyce is
Catholic. The committee they head
is a Christian organization. The
trees are to be planted in memory of
the 100000 Jewish children who
were killed by the Nazis between
September /, 1899, and We Day.
Chatting In the Mayhower before
the presentation, the young actors
had ideas on world fellowship for
children-in fact, they had ideas.
For those who mourn over the youth
Of the country, here are two thor
oughly undelinquent juveniles. This
isn't their first venture in this busi-
ness-they've worked on the COM
mittee for Russian Children's Relief
and on other projects.
BY way of introduction, red
headed Richard Is currently fea-
tured on Broadway in Moss Hart's
Christopher Blake" a play about
an adolescent whose parents are di-
vorced, and his struggles to adjust
to the situation. Then, too, you
may remember him as the little boy
who boxed with Ingrid Bergman in
"The Bells of st. Mary's."
Joyce played the girl in Broad
way production Of Tomorrow the
World" and, In the not too dis
tant future, she plans to portray
Penny" (now recognized as q
comic strip teenager) on the air.
And what Of juvenile delinquents?
They, says Joyce, just don't exist.
It's the parents who are delinquent
and she thinks it particularly
hard for the children. and the par
ents, when divorce complicates the
situation. Dick supports her theory
claiming it's hard to imagine a
kid becoming delinquent when he
has good guidance from both his
parents.
Dick became an Eagle Scout last
summer, while Playwright Moss
Hart "sweated 1t out" lest his hero
end up hobbling through his part.
Both Joyce and Richard have a
particular fondness for ex-Mayor
La Guardia-he got Joyce her first
acting permit at the age Of Z and
his political views appeal to Rich
ard.
The Forest, which will be planted
just outside of Nazareth, will, of
course, be valuable in the land rec
lamation and reforestation program
in Palestine. The campaign Official
ly got under way yesterday. Wash
ington's goal is 5000 trees, and the
cost of planting one tree is only
$1.50.
The project is sponsored by the
American Christian Palestine Com
mittee. Contributions can be sent
to the Children's Memorial Forest,
in care of DIR. Frederick Reissig, at
the Washington Federation of
Churches.

Scrubbing floors: Remove one

kneeling in this while scrubbing
floors will protect clothes.
Renovating sleeves: Sleeves which
are gathered, or have little darts or
fullness at the arm-hole, can be
made smooth and renovated by rip
ping the arm-hole seam to. about
two inches from the under-arm
seam, and pulling up the sleeve to
the place just above where the darts
were before ripping them out. Basic

pad. Remove pad, cut off surplus
material, and sew in sleeve. Press
arm hold and sew in pad. Suit coat
sleeves can be changed the same
way, putting the sleeve pad between
the lining and the coat material.
Does any one know what will re-
move mildew spots from kid gloves?

APPEAL?
From Mrs. B. B. S. Washington }
I have often been impressed by
the generous impulse of "help-giv-
ing" motivating the many contribu-
tors to RICH. The page is one of the
most remarkable features of all the
newspapers in Washington.
1t seems to me that If the house
wife-participants in RICH knew of
the dreadful conditions in Central
Europe today, they would do all
they could to help. One opportunity
before us today in the current used
clothing drive launched by the
church groups.
Europe has had no textile replace
ment for over six years. People,
from the very young to the aged are
shivering and freezing to death in
unheated and windowless houses,
bombed-out cellars and even caves.
I had letter just few days ago
from a relief worker overseas: How
can make the American people un-
derstand?" he pleaded. There is
ice on the inside of the walls of
homes here. Children are barefoot,
half naked, pinched and blue with
cold. There is nd bedding. Scraps
of towels are patched and made over
into garments. A needle is a precious
thing, and thread is unraveled from
precious cloth.
Those of us who have outgrown
and discarded clothing (and who
has not?) can bring bit of hope
into this bitter picture. We can
call Dupont 8787 to find out the
address Of the nearest collection
center and tack our garments there.
No packing is involved. The coat
gathering dust In a closet could be
saving a Life In Europe.

Ship Still Roaming Like Erie
AS Dockmen Establish Boycott

Walter G. Secord, vice president
of the Jupiter Steamship Co, op-
orator of the vessel, said the COM
pany was in contact with the ship
by ship-to-shore telephone but re-
fused to disclose its whereabouts.
Other sources said it was headed
east.
Joshua Lawrence, national NMU
director, filed charges with the
Coast Guard yesterday, contending
the Jupiter was unsafe because she
was improperly manned. MIR. Waltz
man estimated the Jupiter carried
only three or four unlicensed men,
and six officers, but Capt. William T.
Kiel, of the Detroit Steamship In
spection Service, reported the ship
had hired 16 crew members at
Sandwich, Ont, after leaving De-
troit.
Mr.. Waitzman said the ships nor
NAL complement was 81 or 80 officers
and men.
The union struck against the COM
pany, which has only the one vessel,
to push demands for union hiring,

AAF Is Preparing to Send B-29s
On Sneak Raids Against Cities

On the heels of a special Army
Air Forces report warning that a
production of 5000 military
planes a year is necessary If the
security of the Nation is not to
be jeopardized, Gen. George C.
Kenney, chief of the Strategic
Air Forces, announced today he
lis planning sneak raids" by
B-29s on American cities.
Unlike the mass B-29 flight of
approximately 100 planes which
swept over forewarned cities of the
Eastern Seaboard May 16, the next
fights-probably two-will give
their targets" no advance informa-
ton of their arrival.
Although Gen. Kenney said the
formation over Washington and
New York and other cities proved
that his crews have the requisite
training to go into instant action,
he pointed out that the present
|operational force of less than 160
B-29s would last only a month at
the most in actual warfare.
Meanwhile, the Air Material
Command has forwarded to Presi-
dent Truman report recommend
ing minimum plane production OF
1900 aircraft a year, the same figure
mentioned by various leaders of the
aircraft industry testifying recently
at congressional hearings. Produc-
ton for this year probably will be
about half that figure.
Although the Air Forces have up
wards of 10000 aircraft, many of
which are in preservatives, only
about TOO jet fighters are considered
fully modern aircraft.
Other new bombers and fighters
are still in the experimental model
stage. The mammoth XB-36 at
Fort Worth is in this category. The
B-50, to replace the B-29, has not
rolled off the assembly lines yet.
Hoping to hurdle other stumbling
blocks which lie along the road to
quick preparedness for a modern
war, the AAF also has revealed that
it hopes to find means to telescope
the time between the blueprint and
mass production phases of military
aircraft.
An AAF statement showed the
volume production of aircraft plants
now is back to the approximate level
of prewar years.
1t cited the long interval between
the first design of a warplsne and
the actual production of the aircraft,
using as an example the B-29.
Initial design work for the Super
Fortress started in 1898, production
