RY ALEXANDER GABRIEL
(JTA Correspondent at the
United NationS)

LAKE SUCCESS (JTA) DIR.
Abba HiIlel Silver, addressing the
u. N. Policy Committee this week,
served notice that no matter what
the General Assembly may decide,
the Jewish state will begin to
function May 16. Partition is a
substantial reality in Palestine to-
day." he said. "The crux of the
issue is not how to implement the
Assembly resolution, but how to
enjOin and prevent" the Arab
States from violating their Char
ter obligations and from defeating
the will of this international tri-
bunal."
DR.. Silver urgently requested
the British Government not to
permit it's arms and equipment to
fall into the hands of the Arab
invaders, and ensure that the
British-officered Arab Legion will
not intervene in the struggle.
Having been unwilling to imple-
ment the decision of the United
Nations, Britain should at least
refrain from abetting, however
indirectly, the tragic conflict" he
declared.
1t is too late now for trustee
ship, DIR. Silver asserted, adding
that the people of Palestine want
independence and twill have It,"
The apparent receptiveness OF
some Arab spokesman to the idea
was a purely tactical maneuver
to defeat partition" he said. III
force would be needed to enforce
trusteeship, admittedly not final
solution to the problem, why
should it not be used to enforce
partitiOn?" he asked.
DR.. Silver reaffirmed the Jewish
Agency's unqualified rejection"
of any trusteeship plan. 1t would
be an almost impossible task, he
declared, for an outside regime
to establish centralized authority
or to obtain the allegiance of
Arabs and Jews.
Any attempt to impose trustee
ship, DR.. Silver said, would neces-
sarily involve violent effort to
suppress all forms of independent
national life, (which the people
will not relinquish without a
struggle" Was it the purpose of
the United Nations to deprive
people of their freedom" he
asked.

WASHINGTON-

WASHINGTON
A significant step in guarding
against the use of radio to spread
propaganda against racial and re-
liOious minorities in this country
was taken recently by the Federal
Communications Commission.
The action taken by the FEC
was in accepting as relevant evil
dence, in a case involving an ap-
plicant for an FIN channel license,
documents prepared by the Amer
lean Jewish Congress designed to
show that the applicant, a news
paper, had shown racial and re-
ligious bias in its news reporting
and therefore was not a proper
applicant to operate radio sta
ton.
The applicant was the New
York Daily News and the case has
long history. Early in 1885, the
News applied to the FEC for a
license to operate one of the five
available FIN channels i'm the New
York City area. For the s chan
nels, however, the FEC received
II applications, necessitating ex-
tensive hearings to choose the s
applicants that would best serve
the public interest"
The AJC stepped into the case
with a Content analysis" of the
Daily News news reporting over
an eight-year period and contend
ed their application on the grounds
that, based on past performance,
the Daily News was not likely to
give fair and equal treatment to
all groups in the community
On April 9, 1947 the FEC filed
proposed decision to give IL
cense to the Daily News and
granted a motion of the News to
strike the AJC testimony from the
record. The AJC Immediately fill
20 exception to the decision. Last
lall' the FEC again handed down
an opinion in which it reversed

Cattle Buyer, 8, Claims
Title of Youngest Trader

MOSCOW, TENN. Nine-year-old
Corbett-Yeager Jr., son of a farm
er, strikes hard bargain as a
cattle buyer.
He's making money, too, for a
youngster, because he knows a good
calf when he sees one.
Corbett started in business for
himself when he was five years old.
His father gave him a patch of cot
ton-haf an acre to be exact.
Corbett was too young to plant
his own cotton the first year. But
he watched over his crop. When he
marketed his first bale he got $75.
His father helped him buy two
heifers.
Two years later he swapped one
heifer for saddle horse. He sold
the other for $116.42.
Corbett has been buying and SELL
Ing ever since. Now he grows an
acre of cotton which nets him
around $3.50.
Some time ago young Corbett
bought 250-pound calf for $65. Lat
er he sold it for $251.12.
Now think I'm going to get me
q heifer to raise as a grand cham
pion," he said.

READING, PA.-Money may not

number of motorist they saw
pick up the box.
Boyer and Chief Miller went to
the motorists home and recovered
the box, which now contained
not $500 but $71940. An additional
SIT was turned in by knitting mill
workers who said they found the
money.
No one could explain the extra

Studies S|anq
Of Tough Thugs

LOUISVILLE, KY.-Who would
think the study of fish off the Grand
Banks of Newfoundland would bring
a man fame as a specialist in the
slang of criminals?
That was the chain reaction set
off when David w. Maurer, fresh
out of college, took job prying
into the migration habits of deep
sea fish along the North Atlantic
coast. 1t was in 1929, the heyday
of bootleggers and rum-running.
Rum fleets were active around
the Grand Banks.
Maurer became interested in the
peculiar jargon of the rum feet
crews. One thing led to another
until the erstwhile fish student,
now DR.. Maurer of the University
of Louisville English department.
is widely known for his articles and
lectures on criminal argot.
Maurer insists he is not an
Authority or expert" in this
field. He says there isn't any
such thing. However, it is doubt
full whether any other scholar in
the United States has such large
vocabulary of underworld lingo.
Also, there probably are few uni
versity professors with as many
contacts among pickpockets, safe
crackers and confidence men.
Reasons for His Study
Why bother with such uncultivat-
ed language? That's logical ques-
ton which Maurer often is asked.
SIN the first place." the profess
sor explains, ''it's part of the
English language. Leaving it I'M
studied would be like leaving a
part of the world unmapped."
Second, he says, criminal argots
feed the language constantly with
new words. Few of us realize how
many words and expressions now
used in polite society were coined
by criminal groups.
The expression, pass the buck"
seems to have started among card
players of American pioneer days.
Maurer says the best information
he can get suggests that a knife
with a buckhorn handle sometimes
was laid before each player in
turn to indicate who was dealer.
Other Expressions
We call a close friend a "side
kick" Maurer explains that to a
it means side pocket
of an overcoat. Hence the term is
used for someone who is always
by ones side.
Maurer points out that terms
that have become obsolete in lit
erature often survive in under
world lingo. From there they some
times are rclntroduced into every
day speech.
Take the word 'phoney," for in
stance. Maurer still is working on
it. but he believes it came from
an old Irish word, ''fianne." Eight
zenith century London crooks pro-
1ounced it ''fawny." They used it
10 mean a lead ring plated with
gold, later any false jewelry and
inaIy anything not what it seems.
The spelling ''phoney," came into
Use in this country after 1900, ap-
by a connection in the
mind or ear with the
word "phoney," for telephone.

Lutherans To
Launch Sunday
School By Mail

On October 8 the Lutheran
Church Missouri Synod will launch
one of the most ambitious pro-
grams ever undertaken in this
country to reach children not now
enrolled in Sunday schools, it has
been announced by DR.. J. w.
Behnken, president of the church
body. The project, which will be
called Sunday School by Mall, ~
is under the joint sponsorship of
the Church's Board of Missions
Laurel outlook., 1948-09-29


in North and South America, its
board for parish education and
the International Lutheran Hour
broadcast weekly over more than
1000 stations.
Under the slogan "Reach the
Unreachable," Sunday School by
Mail proposes to bring the Chris
tion message to children living III
distant, isolated sections of the
country, as we'll as to children in
metropolitan areas who for one
reason or another are not attend
ing regular Sunday schools.
Hollywood Bowl Opening
Official announcement of the
"opening" of Sunday School by
Mail will be made by DR.. Walter
A. Maier at a mass meeting to be
broadcast over the Lutheran Hour
from Hollywood Bowl, California,
on Oct. 8. Children will be en-
rolled in the planned program
through locally Sponsored news
paper advertisements and spot
announcements on radio stations.
Sunday School by Mail will be
the first major attempt by an
American church BODY to bring
regular course of Bible-centered
Christian study into the homes of
unchurched people. Parents will
be urged to cooperate by provid-
ing time and place for the new
program in their home. At the
same time, parents are asked to
take an active part in the study
program.
How 1t Works
Initial tests of the new pro-
gram were made by the Canadian
districts of the Lutheran Church
Missouri Synod in Alberta, Brit
ish Columbia, Manitoba and Sas-
katchewan. A mother of two
children wrote from Lundy, Brit
ish Columbia, on April 13, 1913:
"Our children have been re-
ceiving your Sunday school pa
pers for over a month now. I
thought I should write to tell
you that both the children and
we, the parents, are pleased. II
like the way you send each ones
in a different envelope;
it seems to make the children
feel that it truly belongs to them.
They dash out every day to see
if there is any mail and, when I
they do get their letters, that
really is a big day for them.
All during the week Marlene
reads the lesson out loud to Don
ny until they both know them
we'll, then on Sunday we have
a real Sunday school. Sunday
after breakfast they
both sit together and / sit across
rom them (teacher fashion,,
hen we say a prayer-read the
essons again, then get out the
Yellow question papers. Marlene
las to answer hers first and then
Oonny answers his"
Twenty-six district directors
lave been appointed throughout
he United States who will main
ain direct contact bv mail with
children enrolled in he program.
All expenses will be borne by the
lutheran Church-Missouri Synod,
postage used in return
ng corrected worksheets and in
ending new lessons.
If Sunday School by Mail is
uccessful on a nationwide scale,
'lans call for extending the pro-
ram on a worldwide front in
arious languages.
