SAFETY FIRST

There Is no doubt that a major
ity Of the Palestine Commission
are anxious about their own safety
in Palestine and will not proceed
without assurances of adequate
protection. This may be regarded
as point scored by the Arabs and
Britain in their war of nerves
against the u. N. on the other
hand. it means that the Commits
sion will press for U. N. policing
Of Palestine in the interim period.
The Commissioners, as your re-
porter can testify on the basis of
long private talks with them, are
all impressed by their assignment
and eager to make a success of it.

that volume of five selected
essays by the late Sh. Rosenfeld,
one of the most brilliant Yiddish
publicists, militant Zionist and
historian who had rounded out, at
the time of his death, literary
career of fifty years, sold less
than fifty copies despite a fairly
intensive promotion campaign by
The Day. Rosenfeld died only
several years ago. He left manu-
scripts that would suffice for doz-
ems of volumes. The single vol

not high price judged by present

Rosenfeld was a scholar of note,
an original thinker, and the vol

RefouIe, Who CIashedI
With Atlanta Police
In Wife's Killing, Dies
nv the Assoeio,ed Press

ATLANTA, Feb. 13.-Death early
today ended the troubled adventures
Of Paul r. Refoule, French -borr
artist, victim of the Nazis and KEY
figure In the unsolved murder here
Of his socially prominent wife
Peggy.
The slight 35-year-old Refoule
died after 10 weeks of illness in
which he underwent two major op-
erations interspersed with case
of pneumonia. His mother was with
! him when death came.
: Refoule's postwar troubles started
, last May IA when the body of his
auburn-haired 31-year-old wife. an
. Atlanta postdebutante, was found
, face up in Peachtree Greek by the
; bloodhounds of a police search
party.
Connection With Killing Denied.
Mrs. Refoule. the former Mar
garet Aston, had been strangled
and her feet bound together.
At first police thought that she
had been picking flowers from the
hillside in the rear of the Civil
War mill the couple had converted
into q home and had been attacked
by a vagrant.
Gradually, however. the police dis
carded this theory and began ques-
tioning Refoule alone. Refoule
stoutly denied he had any connec-
ton with his wife's death.
Then, abruptly, police charged
Refoule with perversion. The ar
rest was ordered by Police Chief
Neal Ellis who said the charges
were the result Of Refoule's admis-
sion in questioning. Refoule was
indicted on the perversion charge
and held in $4,000 bail.
Police Sued for $50,0S0.
But the trial never came to pass,
After months of legal wrangling dur
ing which Refoule charged police
with violating his civil rights and
sued for $4,000 damages, the case
was dropped November "a. Fed
eral Court Judge Marvin Underwood
characterized police handling OF the
case as highly unusual"
Refoule's suit against the police
was pending at his death.
The adventures of the French art
instructor had their beginning In
the Sorbonne in Paris. There he fell
in love with Peggy, student. When
Peggy sailed for America Refoule
followed and the couple was married
in q fashionable ceremony here
in 1888.
Escaped Nazis in 1914.
Shortly after the marriage, the
couple sailed for France. Then came
war in 1899.
Refoule served In the 'phoney
war" in the intelligence service and
then was captured by the Germans
in the big breakthrough of 1910.
His wife and her son Jon retired
to the Refoule's home at Orleans in
Central France. She waited pa
tiently until day in 1914 when a
tired, travel-stained man came
home. He had escaped the Nazis.
Immediately after the war, the
Refoules returned to this country.

To Drop Third Party
by The Assoeiafsd Press

NEW YORK, Feb. 13.-Mayor
william O'Dwyer called on Henry
A. Wallace last night to abandon
his third party presidential ven-
ture and return to the Democratic
fold.
Mayor O'Dwyer praised the for.
mer Vice President as "one of the
outstanding influences that imple-
mented the concept of liberal pro-
gressive democracy" but added:
"I am against the Wallace third
party because 1t tends to break up
a combination which has been re-
sponsible for an expanding democ-
racy-because 1t cannot possibly
achieve its own avowed purposes;
and were it to succeed in drawing
liberals away from the Democratic
ranks in large numbers, its only
success would be the defeat Of our
program"
The Mayor spoke at a rally in
behalf of the candidacy of Karl
Proper, Democratic nominee for
Representative from the oath dis
trict in the Bronx. Mayor O'Dwyer
recently was ordered by his
physician to limit night speaking
engagements because of a coronary
condition.
Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt also ex-
pressed support of Mr.. Propper's
candidacy, describing him as lib
eral Democrat"
