SERVICE CLUB PRESENTS
 FIFTH LECTURE IN SERIES

Fifth in a series of lectures at the Service Club was held last evening at nine o'clock, when An tonic Polet lectured on the arts and crafts of the Eskimo people of thiS division.
 He reviewed the development of ivory carving since the arrival of the white man during ,he gold rush days and told how the native comes by his ability naturally, as all primitive races do. He related how in all the tribes personal adornment was the natural reason for the fine carvings as found in the ruins of buried villages where earrings, rings, combs, etc, are found.
 By demand, due to their skillful- ness, large variety of items are now being made as they are able to copy most anything of which they have sample.
 He discussed the situation now existing whereby the Eskimo has the ability to be the artist, but as yet is unable to organize his work in business like manner and conduct it himself.
 MT. Polet presented George An gupuk, well known Shishmaref artist who attended the lecture with ihS wife.
 Many questions were asked by the young men attending the lec- ture, not only about ivory carving but also about the fur industry, jade, gold and silver work, all of which MT. Polet explained fully as to future development and pos abilities for business venture.
 Next event was announced as debate-"For and Against State hood"
 The programs have been ar ranged by Jane Sniffen, special service representative.

Purim Broadcast Slated
For March 21st

To mark the festival of Purim,
which celebrates the defeat of a
plot to eXterminate the Jews of
ancient Persia, the Eternal Light
will present radio play by Nor
ton Wishengrad entitled Esther"
on Sunday, March 81 (NBC net
work, 12:SO-1:OO PM EST. This
is the third in series of seven
Eternal Light brOadcasts to orig
mate from Hollywood.
The Eternal Light, a coast-to-
coast radio program under the
auspices of the Jewish Theological
Seminary of America. and edited
by Doctor Moshe Davis, is a pub
lie service presentation of the
National Broadcasting Company.
The entire West Coast series will
be written by Mr.. Wishengrad. 1t
is planned that a Hollywood star
will be featured in each of the
programs.
In Esther, Mr.. Wishengrad
writes of ShOlOm, a boy for whom
Purim would always be tinged
with sadness. Its story reminds
him of modern MOrdecai and
Esther, his brother and the rabbits
daughter, whose lives he almost
ruined for jealousy of their love.
He begs forgiveness, however,
when he realizes the unhappiness
he has caused, saying: II have
discovered the evil in shame, but
I have also found the good in it.
For shame is cleansing, and shame
can also teach. I was boy, but
1 had learned that the most griev-
GUS sins are committed against
those whom we love BEST"
During the time that the pro-
gram will emanate from Holly
wood, the production will be super
vised by Jennings Pierce, director
of the western division of NBV's
department of public affairs and
education, and will be under the
direction of Andrew Love.

To Establish $5,OOO,OOO

NEW YORK (JTA)-A $5,OOO,-
900 rayon factory using the most
modern American machinery, will
be established in Palestine as soon
as engineering experts have de-
termined the site of the plant, Leo
Rosenstein, president of the Pales-
tine Rayon Corporation, declared
at a press conference at the Hotel
Roosevelt following his return
from a two-months study of indus
trial conditions in Palestine. He
said that land options have been
taken by his corporation in Reno
voth, Petach Tikvah and Hadera.
1.-THE need for a rayon plant in
Palestine becomes obvious" he
stated, "when one considers that
the country now grows no cotton
or wool, and that the entire pres
ent textile industry is based upon
imported basic raw materials.

WASHINGTON

WASHINGTON
A representative day in the life
of a Jewish Telegraphic Agency
correspondent here gives a partial
idea of the type and extent of
the news of interest to our read
ers, which originates in Washing
ton.
There have been reports in the
American press that the Haganah
attempted to draft American Jew
ish citizens in Palestine. You go
to the State Department, on your
regular daily visit, and talk with
the press officer. Nothing receiv-
ed or the Haganah story, he says,
but report did come in from the
American Counsel in Jerusalem
regarding some specified "inter-
ference" with American Jews in
Palestine.
When they are made available,
they add up to this: that the Con-
sui made two oral protests to the
Jewish Agency in Jerusalem about
interference with American citi-
zens, and asked that it be stopped.
What did the alleged interference
consist of, you ask. Attempted
taking of documents from some
body. By whom from whom?
A startling story comes in from
Jerusalem that the Arab League
has stripped the ex-Mufti of his
powers, reducing him to an advisor
without authority, and established
a three-man commission to adj
minister the Palestinian Arab
State. You check this with the
Near Eastern division of the
State Department. They disclaim
any knowledge. You check fur
Their with Arab circles in Wash
lngton and discover that they
are not surprised. Far from it.
While they disavow any knowledge
OF such a step, they say that there
mas been a move in the Arab
League to get rid of Husseni as a
source of embarrassment more
than help.
The office of Representative
Andrew SOmers CD of New York
telephones to tell you of a resO-
luton he introduced in the House
ior protecting the citizenship of
americans serving in armed forces
l" Faiestine. The resolution would
amend the Nationality Act of 1850
- preserve the citizenship status

Oh certain armed forces, groups or
organizations established to MAIN

ing TO regulations, citizens of the
united States who serve in a for
e,gn armed force temporarily lose
'neir citizenship during such SER
vice. and have their passports
taken up by the American authOr-
,eS IN the country where they
nave entered such a force.

But nothing like this actually
happened. What went wrong as

"The answer is that the Jewish

There is a certain residue of oil in
every pump which cannot be
pumped out. 1t lies at the bot
tom of the, pump and the British
could not get at it. In the aggre-
gate, counting all the pumps, this
amount is fairly stable. So the
Jews poured water in the pumps
and as everybody with an elemen-
tary knowledge of science knows,
water always rises above oil. The
