Talks Palestine

Hope that the new Jewish nation
resulting from the partition OF
Palestine will be called "Judea" was
expressed yesterday by Representa-.
tive Sol Bloom of New York, who
was honor guest at the annual Han.
nukah gift luncheon held by the
Sisterhood of the Adas Israel Con.
gregation at the Mayflower Hotel.
Mr.. Bloom shared the program
with Robert r. Nathan, who actec
as liaison between Jewish organiza.
tions and the United States dele.
gates to the United Nations.
Both speakers discussed problems
facing the Jews as result OF the
partition. Both also expressed graf
itude for the support given to partl-
ton by the United States, while Mr.
Bloom emphasized that no pressure
had been brought against any coun-
try by the United States.
Mr.. Nathan, who was an un.
scheduled speaker, said that one Of
the difficulties in connection with
the partition would be the organiza-
ton of a movement to provide fol
an even flow of immigrants into the
new nation at a rate that can be
absorbed. He predicted there would
be tremendous pressure for the ad-
mission of Jews from such places
as Cyprus, the displaced persons
camps, from Eastern Europe anc
from some of the Arab countries.
Recalling that the present immi-
grafton quota is l,500, he pointed
out that the mandate will not be
terminated until August /, and said
the question of a sizeable increase
before that time would be up to the
British.
Mr.. Bloom declared that the new
nation will have to adopt rules anc
regulations regarding immigration
similar to those observed by all othel
countries.
About 325 members of the sister
hood attended the luncheon, which
raised total of about $3.50. Th'
program included a message from
the sisterhood president, Mrs. Mey
er Goldberg. and greetings from
Rabbi Solomon H. Metz and JOSEPH
A. Wilmer. congregation president.

of a Mena, Ark, taxicab driver,
he willed his eyes to someone who
needed them badly"
As a result, surgeons removed
corneas from Bates eyes shortly
after his death and today planned
to transplant them tc the eyes of
Michael F. Boucher, 73-year-old re-
tired bricklayer of Hot Springs, and
Frank McCracker, a 49-year-old
Fort Smith piano tuner. both blind.
One of Bates eyes suffered a
superficial burns in the electrocu-
ton, but a surgeon said I'VE
think it will be all right"
Prison officials said Bates ap-
peared pleased when told that his
eyes were to be Used for two per-
sons instead of only one.
Bates offered his eyes after death

We The Women.
BY RUTH
NEA Staff Writer

New Orleans has announced
that it is out to win the title of
most courteous city in America"
And if its citizens make a try for
il. the honor ought to fall right in
thei: laps.
They haven't much competition.
Discourtesy seems to be the order
Of the day in big towns and small.
Thi is especially apparent to the
cross-country traveller who thinks
d little courtesy ought to be in
Guided in his bill-paying.
But TOO often when he pays for
his food and lodging, he doesn't
even get a smile or thank you.
Even filling station attendants
who used to kill their customers
with courtesy aren't bothering
much to speed the tired traveller
on his way.
Too often rest rooms are dirty
and the motorist who has his tank
filled has to ask to have his wind
shield wiped.
MAKE IT TOUGH
If the citizens of New Orleans
can get other towns and cities in
terested in trying to outshine then
in everyday courtesy, perhaps the
sloppy, indifferent service tina
swept the nation during the wal
years will be on its way out O
the picture.
Here's a good rae for every
town and eli. in the country to
enter. Why not make the C, pc
tition tough for New Orleans?
