 They are Herman J. Abs and August Schniewind, who have been named president and chairman, re- spectively, Of the board of direct DTS for the new tri-Zonal Bank Deutsche Iaender Bank of the German States This bank oper- ates under the U. S., French ano British, but the German boarc members were allowed to make their selection at a secret meet ing.
 Because of the growing U. s policy of forgiving the Nazis, no. thing was done to block the two bankers, but the whole thing wa! explained to Secretary of Stat, George Marshall in confidential airgram. sent by U. s, politica adviser Robert Murphy.

President Truman always takes great delight in inaugurating the buddy poppy" relief drive of the Veterans of Foreign Wars. For. back in Missouri, he used to help put over the drive as a VFW member himself.
 The other day when Truman re- ceived the first poppy from five year-old Sandra Marie Smith, he reached in his pocket and handed his tiny visitor a bright, new half-dollar.
 "Oh, thank you,' replied the lit tie girl, who lives at the VFW home for war widows and orphans in Eaton Rapids, Michigan, And

20 directorships, limit established by the corporation law of 1937. He became prominent in 1887 as chief of foreign department of Deutsche Bank, and was in many circles con- l sidered to be the most brilliant and energetic member of Deutsche Banks vorstand (board of direct ors). Subject took important role in imperialistic expansion of the Deutsche Bank following Nazi poli- tical and military absorption
 Herr Schniewind, recently ap- pointed liaison officer for the Eu- ropean Recovery Program, was a director of the Reichsbank under Hjalmar Schacht until Schacht fell into disfavor with the Nazis. Then Schniewind, still a Nazi favorite, moved to Seller and Company, a banking firm in Munich, where he increased in influence as the bank as "Aryanized."
 Seven other German bankers, all with democratic political back grounds, were considered along with Abs and Schniewind for the banking posts. But the two Nazi sympathizers won out.
 Murphy hinted to Secretary Mar shall that the British were to blame for Abs.
 ''The French financial adviser has voiced objection to Abs for position in question and U. s. fi- nancial adviser concurs," reported Murphy. technically, however Abs has been denazified according to regular procedures in the Brit ish zone"
 Murphy admitted that the tri- partite Vetting party, an organ of the military government that must clear all German officials, hac registered lukewarm objections.
 "Tripartite Vetting party states
 it is now attempting to reacf agreement on standard of suit ability to apply to appointees of
 Bank DeutsChe Laender," Murphy
 explained in his report to Mar 1. shall. Since no standards art
 agreed upon, tripartite Vetting par ty has merely indicated to Allied Bank Commission, to which it re
 ports that it doubts suitability o Schniewind and Abs and believe , that if full available evidence wer, , known to German board of direct ors. they would probably rejec both men"
 Significantly the Allied Banl Commission could veto the tw , German bankers, but reports iron , Germany indicate it will do tn , opposite.

 Sig BredIie
As 10 Holding a Meeting af Mi. Mckinley Na-
 fionaI Park

Juneau, Alaska, May 7th-4S MT Sig Bredlie.
 Chiropractor.
 Fairbanks, Alaska.
 Dear MT. Bredlie-
 Press reports state you have call ed a meeting at Mt. Mckinley Ma tional Park which will be attended by yourself and some clients. Your paper in Fairbanks describes Mt Mckinley Park Hotel luxurious hotel which defined as pertaining to luxury, rate $11 per day, fine rooms, food favored with wines, large, roomy beautiful bar, train three times a week, out of the way place and voting population of 26 votes, six of them Republicans, a good place MT. Bredlie to spend LOST WEEK END.
 Your meeting states is for cleo tion of three delegates, etc, to a National Republican Convention on June Fist. You say nothing about helping any Territorial Candidates or Legislative ones. Perhaps that is due to the fact that the Fairbanks group you are associated with all voted for Norman c. Walker, Democrat, for Governor of Alaska while they were registered Republi- cans.
 But Mir. Bredlie, it would be just as much authority for the many other CHIROPRACTORS, in AL aska to call a convention for their CLIENTS. In 1940, another profes- sional man was at the convention at Philadelphia. He also had CLIENTS, but neither he nor his clients that were with him gave much attention to the Republican : Convention as they give to the Party in Alaska They were mostly interested in the JOE LOUIS prize fight at New York, which they at tended and as JOE LOUIS, is again fighting June 23rd, be careful that , this is not the main attraction to go to Philadelphia and not to at tend any political convention, be- cause after all have looked over 1 the National and Territorial sub scription lists for Is years and I { fail to see where you ever contribut- ed dollar to the Republican Party and neither did most of your clients.
 Yours truly, ] (Signed) ALBERT WHITE, General Counsel,

recorded the attendance of each of
the 80 members of the home
room. Instead of using the regular
checks, the attendance is taken with
flowers drawn in colored chalk. A
red tulip indicates present, a violet
is recorded for hardness; but for
absence there is only blank space.
On special occasions certain flow
ers are used. For example, on st.
Patrick's Day shamrock was drawn
to show present. The Monday fol-
lowing Palm Sunday a palm branch
was used, and on Wednesday before
the Easter holidays an Easter lily
was used.
Both the boys and the girls of the
home room have shown much in
terest in keeping their attendance
record all nice and bright with red
tulips. Since this system has been
in effect, sixteen out of thirty eight
of the students have made perfect
records of attendance while the
others have not missed more than
one or two days the whole month of
March
Responsible for the art involved in
the record is Mary Helen Hawkins,
assisted by Betty Henson, Margaret
Hite and Pat Haynes.
For the month of April the girls
are using flowers of pastel shades to
keep the attendance.
Miss Lum, president of the hair
dressers and cosmeticians of the
state of Maryland, and Miss Kinsey,

plan to be beauticians in the future,
and to all the home economic stu
dents in the school last Wednesday
afternoon
In a demonstration, the women
told each girl exactly what shade of
cosmetics she should use. They
stressed the point that the skin,
more than the complexion and hair,
depends to a great extent, upon
what person eats, on rest and on
exercise.
They also stated that fashion has
changed so that the mode of putting
on COOLIES" of lipstick and rouge,
is no longer the thing.

with Pastor william B. Shealey
delivering the Memorial Day SER
mon. During Sunday and Mon

those departed to other, worlds,
paid humble floral respects at

was the scene of busy prepar-
alton for the sending of COM

loh Mission Society, Mrs. Flor
ence Lovelace, president. One
large hogshead, a big box, and
other parcels of clothing for
children, from nursery to high
school age, was pointed out to
me by busy Mission secretary,
Mrs. Alice Banks and other ac-
tive church workers. Among in
tereSted observed were three in

ford chapter of the American

den of Medford Red Cross Home
Service; MIR. Sherwood o. Dodge,
Medford chapter chairman, and
vice chairman George Hassett
who had come to confer with
citizens of the community. The
meeting of the proposed Citi-
zenS' Committee scheduled for
the same evening was cancelled
when only a few delegates ap-
peared. The Red Cross had hop
ed to give delegates a brief pep
TALK before the regular business
nesting. The objectives of the
proposed committee was to es-
tablish a permanent agency for
unifying the activity of the var
iouS community organizations
for civic and social education
and development and commun-
ity protection against hazards
by cooperating with the proper
agencies. Another objective was
to provide a united agency here
against intolerance or discrimin-
alton against wage earners, home
owners and taxpayers. While
this first venture failed to meet
success, it is certain that COM
ing events will renew the de-
mand for a Citizens Committee
here and elsewhere. We have un-
selfish people of deep enough
vision who will some day make
such a committee a reality, for
their own mutual benefit.
