STATE FUNDS
FORCATHOLIC
SCHOOLS OKAY

ALBANY, NY. (JPS). - The
ALLEGATION of state funds to sectar-
ian institutions was upheld here
last week when Supreme Court
Justice Isadore Bookstein denied
an application for an injunction
to prevent the state from allocat-
ing funds to Canisius College, a
Roman Catholic Jesuit school in
Buffalo.
The decision did not touch up
on the constitutionality of the
grant, but was based on the fact
that Henry Adsit Bull, Buffalo's
attorney, who sought the injunc-
ton barring further expenditures
from a $4,000 state ALLEGATION
made to Canisius, was not entitled
'as a mere citizen and taxpayer"
to bring the action.

Racial Research

Chicago, (JPS)-The Universe
ty of Chicago has embarked on a
five year program of research,
training and education in race re-
lations under $150,000 grant
from the Carnegie Corporation
and Rockefeller Foundation.
Louis Wirth, Professor of soci-
ology, who will head the study
group, characterized the prob
lem of race relations in the
United States as "a most criti-
cal aspect" of American de-
mocracy, which if not effectively
treated will constitute a threat
to the social progress of this coun-
try.

More Action For
UNSCOPS SaysLie

Lake Success, N. Y, September
IL, misunderstanding General
Trygve Lie, of the United Nations,
said here yesterday that the Sec
retariate would recommend, to
the opening of the General As
sembly next week, the creation
of a committee to deal only with
the Palestine report.
The proposed Palestine COM
mittee would include all member
nations, but with different per-
sonnel than the Political and Sc
curity Committee, where the Pal
estine report would have gone
ordinarily. The proposal for a
special Palestine committee will
be a measure to keep the Palestine
issue from competing with other
difficult issues, such as the Bal
kans, which will be taken up at
the forthcoming session. The sug-
gested program would reduce the
session possibly to seven or eight
weeks.

Uprising You'd
ImperiI Poles

New York (JPS) - Although
there have been no incidents of
violence reported since the Kielce
pogrom of July, 1916, Jews in
Poland know that they would
be the first to suffer from a right
ist uprising" New York Herald
Tribune correspondent William
Atwood reports from Wroclaw
(Breslau), in the Polish province
of Silesia, which was formerly
German.
The fifty-thousand Jews living
in that province, comprising about
half of Poland's postwar Jewish
population support the present
regime IF only because it is their
surest safeguard against any out
break of Poland'S traditional and
latent anti-Semitism," Mr.. Att
wood says. "There is no question
but that the Government, in sharp
contrast to its pre-war predeces-
sor, is almost bending over back
wards in its efforts to protect the
Jews left in Poland. ID. The only
anxiety felt by Jewish leaders
just now is whether Poland is GER
tain to keep these western terri
tories taken from Germany" Mr..
Atwood writes.

Two Mayors
We're Freed

JERUSALEMS (WNS). = Two
of the three Jewish mayors of
Palestine communities, who were
arrested early in August in the
wake of the disturbances follow
ing the execution of three 1rgun-
lists condemned of participating in
the Acre prison break, were re-
leased by the British authorities
the week before the High Holi-
days.
The released mayors are Israel
Rokach, of Tel Aviv, and Mr..
Krinetzi, of Ramath Gan, Owed
Ben Ami, mayor of Nathanya, is
still detained. The official COM
munique stated that both Rokach
and Krinetzi, who were reported
to have refused to answer queries
while interrogated, were released
after their earlier refusal to re-
ceive freedom unless the, third
Jewish mayor was also released.
1t is believed they were prevailed
upon by Jewish leaders to accept
their freedom.

No Work Policy
Of I. C.. Farben

NUREMBERG (JPS).-The top
directors of 1. C. Farben, Ger
many's vast chemical trust, were
accused by a U. S. war crimes
court here last week, of having
deliberately promoted unemploy-
ment in Germany to pave the way
for the rise of Hitler and the Nazi
party in 1882.
The prosecution read a state
ment by Fritz Ruther, Farben
employee from 1927 to 1916, de-
scribing how Farben employees
were laid off in great numbers
when the Nazis suffered a set
back in the elections of November
6, 1882, and that it was contem-
plated to shut down the whole
Farben Leuna plant. 1--WE were OF
the opinion" the former Farben
worker said, "that the staff OF the
Leuna was purposely being so
greatly reduced in order to drive
the workers into the arms OF the
Nazi party. We were strengthened
in this belief when shortly after
ward workers were suddenly re-
instated when the coming of the
Nazi party into power was GER
tain"

WASHINGTON, June 1l.-R- Senator Magnuson D-Wash) asked the Senate Subcommittee on Agri- culture ApproprIations today to provide $45,000 for the University of Alaska to carry on agriculture research in the Territory.
 The University has been doing the work and the House in passing the agriculture money bill for the year starting July proposed that the funds be spent by the Agricul- ture Department for Alaskan re- search.
 This is a step backward" Mag nuson told a reporter. The Uni versity has been cooperating heart fly with the Department in research work in the Territory and it should be permitted to continue its work. It knows better what is required than can an official in the De- partment in research work in the Territory and it should be permit ted to continue it's work. II knows better what is required than can an official in the Department here in Washington The money ought to be restored to the University and if the committee does not see that it is done I will try to amend the bill when it comes to the floor for debate"

 However, he stipulated that the proposed commission should oper- ate within the framework of the Security Council" where Russia and the other four big powers hold the power of veto Further, he said the proposed body would make recom- mendations to the Council on measures for prevention and sup pression in respect to violators. ,"
 On inspections. Gromyko was not so clear and French delegate Alex andre Parodi said in reply:

 The United States, which has been unbending in its stand against the veto in atomic matters, also in- sists on unlimited international in- Spections.

NELSON TO 5WIN6;
 DEATH WATCH x
 PLACED ON SLAYER
Executive CIemenli Is De-. nied for Man Convicted
 of Killing Jim Ellen

What is practically the last door of escape for Austin Nelson, who faces the moose here July l, was shut tight when U. S. District Attorney ;P. J. Gilmore, Jr., was notified by Daniel Lyons, Pardon Attorney of the U. s. Department of Justice in Washington. D. C., that President Truman has denied Nelson's petition for Executive clemency and con- mlN ation of his sentence to life im- prisonment.
 Nelson was sentenced by Federal Judge Harry E. Pratt, April p, to hang on the first day of July in Juneau as a result of his conviction, by local jury, for t.:e first degree murder of groceiyman Jim Ellen, December g, 1946 The jury re- turned its verdict without a recom- mendation for mercy which made the death sentence mandatory under existing jaws
 U. s. Marshal William T. Ma honey, as custodian of the Federal Jail here, where Nelson is being kept, has placed a death watch over the condemned man. This move is customary, it was explained, whenever it appears that there is no possible chance of change in the sentence of a doomed person. This is a precautionary measure taken to prevent possible attempts at escape or suicide. It means the assignment of a constant, close watch on the prisoner at all times.
 In the meantime, defense attor- neys Henry Roden and Joseph A. Mclean have not yet given up their attempt to save Nelson from facing the hangman. Roden is in Seattle, at present, but will return within the next week or ten days. Mclean said today that no stone is being left unturned in the hope that new evidence might be uncovered to give the defense grounds to make an appeal to higher court.

 Other favorable developments in- cluded peaceful settlement of a wage dispute at the Briggs Manu- featuring Company and indications that coal miners are drifting back to work, lessening the possibility of a soft coal walkout.
