Aviv' in the Bible.
The Book of Ezekiel CHI, ,15)
mentions a place called Tel Aviv
in Mesopotamia on the river Cha
boras. That "Tel Aviv" meant
"the hill of corn" indicating that
corn center existed there. It
seems certain, however, that our
modern city of Tel Aviv in Pales-
tine bears no connection whatso-
ever to this ancient Biblical city.
QUESTION: How did it come
to be a city?
ANSWER: AS was the case in
so many Jewish settlements in
Palestine the terrain now occupied
by Tel Aviv was desert country
before the twentieth century. AS
matter of fact, the settlement
didn't originate as separate city
1t was rather what might be call
ed "a garden suburb" of the city
of Jaffa, in its origin. AS the
years passed by it developed into
practically an all-Jewish city
which is perhaps the "most modern
! city in the world" It's origin as
a garden suburb" explains its
proximity to the Arab city of
Jaffa-its neighbor.

High Humidity Due Today;
Mercury in Low 80s

Washington worried more today
about humidity than halos around
the sun, the top subject of weather
conversation yesterday.
The increased humidity is likely
TO remain over tomorrow, but the
Weather Bureau believed partly
cloudy skies would help hold the
temperature in the low Dos.
This would add another day to
the record set yesterday when the
first 16 days of August passed with
out the temperature having hit SO
degrees-the first time this has hap
pened in the 76-year history of
bureau records.
Upward of 800 telephone calls we're
received by the bureau yesterday
from persons either frightened or
curious about the meaning of double
ilalos around the sun.
Bureau employees were so swamped
they finally put an explanation on
the telephone automatic recorder
OWE 1870. The circles were caused
by "refraction of light from the sun
as it passes through high thin clouds
composed Of ice crystals" the public
was told.

Harry Dexter White, Figure
In Red Hearings, Dies at Sc
Morgenthou Plan
Author Testified
Friday at Inquiry

Harry Dexter White, Sc, for
mer Assistant Secretary of the
Treasury and one of the contro-
versial figures in the current
congressional spy hearings, died
yesterday at his summer home
in FitzWilliams, N. H.
Mr.. White was known as one of
the authors of the abandoned Nor
genthau plan" for stripping Ger
many of industry and of the Bret
ton Woods agreements leading to
creation of the World Bank and
International Monetary Fund.
His death was attributed to a
heart attack. He was stricken Sat-
urday, soon after reaching his sum-
mer home on his return from Wash
ington. He had complained of a
heart condition when he appeared
before the House Committee on I'm
American activities last week, ask
ing recess at the end of each hour
to permit him to rest.
In his testimony before the COM
mittee, Mr.. White vigorously denied
charges linking him with an alleged
wartime Communist espionage ring
in Washington. He denied he ever
had been Communist "or even
close to becoming one"
Mr.. White worked in the Treasury
Department for II years before be-
ing made an Assistant Secretary in
1915. He also was director of none
tary research for a time. During
the war, he was one of the closest
associates of then Secretary of the

NEW YORK, Aug. 1.-THE
people who saw and marveled at

children to whom he became a
shining legend were saddened
today by the passing of Babe
Ruth, baseball's foremost figure.
Wasted by two years illness, the
home-run king died at 8:01 o'clock

personal physician, said Ruth died
of cancer of the throat. The nature
of his illness had not been officially
disclosed previously and Ruth never
knew that he had cancer.
As he was symbolic of baseball's
ascendency in popularity in the
1920's, so was it symbolic of his mag

children were gathered outside the
hospital when the end came.

Greece Reports Rebels
Abandoning Arms and
Casualties in F|iqht
Grommos Campaign Will
End Successfully Soon,
Athens Spokesman Says
BY the Associated Press

ATHENS, Aug. 17.-Govern-
ment spokesman said today there
is little doubt the Grammos
campaign against Communist
rebels will end soon, and sue
cesSfully for the Greek Army.
A general staff spokesman said
the defense line along the whole
southwestern sector of the front had
crumbled and War Minister George
Stratos told the cabinet last night
the guerrillas were abandoning war
materiel and wounded in morgan
lied fight.
Highest Peak Declared Taken.
Spokesman said the rebel perrin
eter in the north had been whit
tied down to % miles and Mr.. Stra-
tos said the army had captured the
highest peak in the Grammos noun
tains, once a major stronghold of
the rebel chieftain, Markos Vafiades.
Today's general staff communique,
however, said only that national
troops were in close contact with
guerrillas at the summit of the g.
000-foot peak and a spokesman
said the troops we're 200 yards from
the top. The communique said ad-
vances had been made all around
the Grammos perimeter.
Both Lykorachi and Aetomilitsa.
which had been headquarters for
VafiadeS in earlier campaigns. were
overrun in the army's drive, the
general staff spokesman said. The
rebels now have left about IL miles
of Albanian border to cross, but
there are only three trails in the
area still held by the guerrillas.
Many Guerrillas Remain.
Despite this optimistic picture,
military sources empha-
sized that victory in the Grammos
area will not end the Greek civil
war. There are thousands of rebels
still scattered over Greece and they
are busily engaged in sabotage and
other forms Of harrassing activity.
Nevertheless, loss of the Grammos
stronghold would be a hard blow for
