by Longio Zwillman and similar
trade, that Bob Hannegan, the
Postmaster General, then chair
man of the democratic national
committee, who also makes the
place his spiritual home in town,
invited Sinatra to visit President
Roosevelt in the White House.
This was toward election time
in 1914. Shor was in wrong with
the O. P. A. at the moment over
red points for steaks, but Hanne-
gan invited him, too, and Sinatra
and Shor were duly received.
Prior to this time, Sinatra had
been classified IA by his draft
board but had not been called.
E. ]. Kahn, Jr., a very friendly
biographer, reports that after the
visit with Roosevelt, Sinatra
gave $500 to the Democratic
campaign fund for the fourth
term. A few months later, in
March, 1945, he was permanently
deferred on final orders from
Washington.

Wisdom Of Solomon
BY T EDISON

WASHINGTON - The United
Nations committee report, rec.
ommending partition of strife.
torn Palestine into Jewish ano
Arab states, is a good bit like
the judgment of old King Solo
mon in the case of the two
women and the divided babe.
Gold = star d ay school
scholars all know the story. The
two women came before the
king, each claiming to be moth
er of the same child.
"And the king said, Bring me
a sword. And they brought q
sword before the king.
"And the king said. Divide
the child in two, and give hall
to the one and half to the
other"
Up to this point the parallel
is perfect. Here is a high COM
mittee from IL nations having
no direct interest in Palestine
They are set up like II King
Solomons to pass judgment on
the case. Palestine is the child.
The Jews and the Arabs, like
the two mothers of Bible times,
both claim it. The II Solomons
say, "Divide the child in two,
and give half to the one and
half to the other"
The Jewish Zionists are ap-
parently agreeable to this de-
cision. But the Arabs are yell
ing bloody murder.

of the narrative goes like this
"Then spake the woman
whose the living child was unto
the king, for her bowels yearnee
upon her son, and she said, c

child, and in no wise Stay it.
But the other said. Let it be

powerful modern states is, even
in time of war and under dire
necessity, an enormously diff
cult thing to do well. To Or
ganize a coalition Of disunited,
feeble and immature states, and
to hold it together for a prolong.
ed diplomatic seige; which
might last for ten or fifteen
years is, I submit, impossibly
difficult.
1t would require, however
much the real name for it were
disavowed, continual and COM
plicated intervention by the
United States in the affairs of
all TIE members of the coalition
which we were proposing to Or
ganize, to protect, and to lead
and to use. Our diplomatic
agents abroad would have
to have an almost u~nerring
capacity to judge correctly and
quickly which men and which
parties were reliable containers.
Here at home Congress and the
people would have to stand
ready to back their judgments
as to who should be nominated,
who should be subsidized, who
should be whitewashed, who
should be seen through rose
colored spectacles, who should
be made our clients and our al
lies.
Mr.. x offers us the prospect
of maintaining such a coalition
indefinitely until eventually the
Soviet power breaks up or mel
lows because it has been frus-
trated. 1t is not a good pros
pect. Even if we assume, which
we ought not, that our diplomat
ic agents will know how to in
tervene shrewdly and skillfully
all over Asia, the Middle East,
and Europe, and even if we as
sumo, which the Department of
State cannot, that the American
people will back them with a
drawing account of blank checks
both in money and in military
power, still is not a good pros
pect. For we must not forget
that the Soviet Union, against
which this coalition will be di-
rected, will resist and react.

the same position when 1t was

President Truman spoke out on
the subject again yesterday at the

KANSAS CITY, April 22.-The
1s4S Republican nominating
convention will be held the week
of June 20 in Philadelphia, the
city where the party nominated
Its first standard bearer in 1856.
Choice Of Philadelphia as host to
its fifth COP convention came late
yesterday as the Republican Nation
al Committee. Overwhelmingly dis
regarded the Recommendation Of its
site subcommittee which had given
the nod to Chicago.
The committees action met with
the general approval of party lead
ers here for the tWo-day meeting to
pick convention city and discuss
finances for 1913.
Herbert Brownell Of New York,
former national chairman, described
Philadelphia as very popular
choice" Mr.. Brownell, who carried
the proxy of j. Russell Sprague, the
Thomas Dewey movement spear
head at similar meeting four
years ago, refused to speculate about
the effect OF the convention city
choice on Gov. Dewey's chances for
the 1948 nomination.
Vote is II to 26.
Representative Brown of Ohio
chairman Of the party's Executive
Committee, also said he saw nc
political significance in the choice
Mr.. Brown, who had voted for
Chicago. said Philadelphia guar
antee of 100000 to meet expenses
was IAN offer that couldn't be turned
down."
The vote for Philadelphia was "a
to 26, but 1t later was made unani-
NOUS by resolution.
Werner w. Schroeder. national
committeeman from Illinois, was
alone in presenting Chicago's invita-
ton with a guarantee of adequate
hotel space and $135, 900 to cover ex-
penses, an amount he said he con-
sidered adequate in view of the fact
that only $85, 900 was needed for the
1914 convention in the same city.
Against this, Philadelphia brought
out five speakers from among q
Remember delegation headed by
Mayor Bernard Samuel. They offered
hotel rooms for 5000, a certified
check for 100000, an additional
$4,000 for entertainment and tele-
vision facilities not only for 13
Eastern States but for $4,000 spec
tators in the Commercial Museum
near the convention hall.
Halleck Speaks at Banquet.
The vote on the convention site
disposed of one of the major mat
ters on the agenda. The Finance
Committee, in executive session
yesterday, will hold another meeting
today.
There was no report from the de-
liberations of the Finance Commit
tee, but Chairman Walter E. Hope
of New York, gave some indication
Of his task. fCurrently he Is in
charge OF raising 100000 for 1947.
He estimated that the 1948 cam
paign would require four times that
amount or nossibly as much as 81

quet last night was House Majority
