Q me L01IOIs
At the Council of Administra-
ton meeting of the Jewish War
Veterans of the United States, the
report of a personal investigation
was made by the Department Chief
of Staff, Victor H. Hirsch, on con-
ditions of the North Channel
Trailer Camp Veteran Project
which is bounded by Foster and
Bryn Mawr and the Chicago River
west to Albany Avenue.
This investigation was conducted
Sunday, May 4th, between the
hours of IL to l pm. 1t is noted
that this camp consists of a group
of small to medium trailers which
rent for $25 90 to $4,000 monthly.
The property and equipment is
maintained by caretaker on the
premises, Mr.. Ed Kudsk, a World
War. I veteran, and he has an
assistant named Joe. This camp
has $50 trailers.
The first telephone was installed

For many weeks we have been
very pleased with the fairness of
the reports in the Chicago Star
on many vital issues. However,
we wish to protest the specious
reporting in the article entitled:
Germans invite N. U. prof who
fought FDR. UN." in the April 26,
1947 issue of the Star.
Professor Paul A. Schlipp OPP
posed World War II not because
it was against Nazism," as the
article implied, but because he
was a Pacifist. An investigation
into DR.. Schlipp's past will reveal
him as an outspoken pacifist for
many years. The quotation from
his speech to his students follow
ing President Roosevelt's death
was not given in enough detail
to give fair impression to the
reader
DR.. Schlipp not only said that
Roosevelt might be referred to
t'as the Judas Iscariot of this
era, in having led us down the
road to war" but also that Roose-
welt might be called one of the
greatest leaders of his time!
Even though the Chicago Trib-
une, Times, etc, reports the news
in other than a truthful manner,
we expect the STAR to give us
the news in as straightforward
and fair manner as is possible.

With memories of wartime
shortages of bacon still green, il
is noteworthy that this week Mrs.
Ella Crutcher brought il home.
at least, that is, il bacon had been
included on her weekly shopping
list.
Returning from a neighborly
visit last Thursday evening, Mrs.
Crutcher found a black sedan lust
leaving her home. It's sociable
driver stopped to converse for a
moment, and then drove away In
the direction Of Kennewick.
When Mrs. Crutcher entered
her home, she found missing a
large box Of groceries. She re-
called that her visitor of a few
moments before had seemed to be
in a jovial mood that could only
be explained by spirits more lively
than his own.
Quickly grouping herself, her
son and her nephew into an In
formal posse, Mrs. Crutcher began
a round of taverns in Kennewick
and Pasco..
The man was located the gro
ceries were located, and the bacon
df any was located.
That's how Mrs. CrItcber
brought home the bacon (if any).

Lions To Play
Wapaio Friday;
Beat Ellensburu

kenneWick Lions, fresh from
a first league victory against
Ellensburg last Friday night, will
clash with powerful Wapato
Eleven in the Lions Den to-
morrow night.
Kennewick Coach George
Karamatic feels that the local
boys have an excellent chance
for victory in their first home
league game of the ranks are not
too badly depleted from ravages
of general flu epidemic.
Center Donahue, mainstay of
the line, was out of school Tues
day, and Speedball Poole was
threatened with the ailment.
Wapato was rated as the lea
que favorite at the opening of
the season with a strong rugged
squad of seasoned veterans. How
ever, Karamatic believes the
Kennewick boys can win the
tussle if they show the spark
registered in the Gonzaga and
Ellensburg games.
Wapato Coach Colby uses a T

game should be fast bang-up
tussle.
Kennewick won the Ellens-
burg game by a 10 score and the
statistics show an even greater
advantage. The Lions scored 18
first downs to three and gained
191 yards to Ellensburg 80 on
running plays.
Kennewick completed two out
Of five pass attempts while their
opponents completed two out of
seven. The Lions made a total
net gain of $40 yards to Ellens-
burg's 135. On kicking Perkins
averaged 38 yards while Ellens-
burg kickers averaged EOS.
Poole carried the ball for a net
gain of 81 yards for an average
of a yards. Perkins averaged AZ
yards in moving the ball ahead
80 yards. Poole scored the lone
touchdown of the game and Per-
kins converted.
With excellent defense in the
line, Ellensburg only once neared
pay dirt in the second half after
a series of Kennewick penalties
Two pass attempts were COM
pleted for little or no gain.
Most Of the game was played
deep in Ellensburg territory.

Housing For
100 CE Workers
In kenneWick

In recent survey of the City
of Kennewick housing was found
for more than one hundred Han
ford Works employees. A similar
response was encountered in Pas
CO. T." t..
People to be allocated to these
rooms by the General Electric
company will be as much as pos
sible heads of families who are
regular production employees OF
the Company. It is not expected
that housing will be needed for
construction workers as housing
will be~provided for them on the
job.
Employees are being brought in
from all parts of the country as
part Of the company's expansion
program. They are requested not
to bring their families until hous-
ing now under construction is
completed.
In a letter to the Kennewick
Chamber of Commerce. Yorhs
Manager D. H. Lauder said:
Eve wish to take this oppor-
tunity to thank you and the mem
bers Of your organization for the
fine cooperation and reception
given to representatives of Han
ford Works in the recent program
for obtaining rooms in your town.
"Your town was covered by I'M
formed patrolmen and we actu-
ally received promises from. res
idents to house over one hundred
persons which has helped to allie
viate the serious housing problem
that we have here in Richland.
It is fully recognized that when
people open up their homes to
outsiders such action is motivated
through a spirit of cooperation and
I want to assure you that It is
fully appreciated"
