ORGANIZATION AND
LEMENTATION

/. At the present time we have fune-
tioning chapters of Pea in several
counties. The committee wishes to
point out that the first step in
Strengthening our organization in this
state is further organization activities
in these existing chapters. This work
will have to be done by the initiative
and courage of the local membership.
2. Good possibilities exist for imme-
diately organizing chapters in a num-
Der of additional counties. We recon-
mend that the state executive board
appoint an organizational director to
coordinate organizational activity and
secure available people for help in
new areas.
8. We recommend that the execu-
tive board work toward the end of
national groups, racial
Independent business and
groups and women's

ated political activity with labor and
farm organizations.

Tells Own Story
OF Nozi Terror

When DR.. Andrew Klein, for
merly Chief Rabbi of Budapest,
Hungary, was sent to Auschwltz
in 1914, he refused the eight
work" which the Nazis offered
him because of his position. He
insisted that he was physically fit
to labor side by side with
common" Jews.
This divine inspiration" as ne
calls it. saved the life of DR.. Klein,
who is now Rabbi of Congregation
B'nai Israel in Kearney-Arlington,
N. j., and a frequent speaker in
behalf of the United Jewish APP
peal. A day later, those doing
Eight work" at Auschwitz were
herded into the gas chambers and
executed.
Rabbi and Mrs. Klein and their
two children, Tiber IS, and Leslie,
10, came to this country last fall
with the aid of United Service for
New~Americans and the Joint Dis
tribution Committee. A few
months later, with the assistance
of the Vocational Services Depart
ment of United Service, Rabbi
Klein obtained the appointment
to the pulpit of the New Jersey
congregation.
In a few months, Rabbi Klein
had instituted daily morning serv-
ices, inaugurated classes in the
Bible, Hebrew, and philosophy,
and established several groups,
including a Mems Club, a Ladies'
Auxiliary, a Sisterhood, and chap
tiers of Hadassah and the Zionist
Organization of America.

Although the Security Councils
order left no room for continued
discussions prior to the actual
cessation of fighting the Council
adopted an amendment to the
order proposed by the Chinese del
egate suggesting that the Arabs
and Jews continue their discus
sions with the U. N. mediator in
spirit of Cancellation and mutu-
al concession. It was this amend
ment which was held chiefly re-
sponsible for Russia's final alb

they charged, to revise the origin

the General Assembly last No

Israel had accepted the prOlOnga-
ton of the original fOur-week
truce agreement while the Arab
League states rejected success

District Heads Decide
Against Hearing on
Tuition Challenge

The Commissioners decided yes
terday against holding public
hearing on the payment of nonresi-
dent tuition fees asked by several
groups of suburban parents whose
children attend washington public
schools.
A. spokesman for the city heads
pointed out the matter Is legal
one which had been decided, insofar
as the District is concerned, by a
ruling OF Corporation Counsel Yer
non e. West.
Afiidavits Filed.
Meanwhile, parents of IL Kensing-
ton and Garrett Park Md chill
dren filed afidavits with the office
of School Supt. Hobart M. Corning.
declaring the children were enrolled
in woodrow Wilson High School
prior to last July 25. Because of
this, the parents argued, the chill
i'dren were entitled to continue at-
tending District schools without
payment Of tuition.
The group stated the afhdavits
were filed at the suggestion of DR..
Corning.
In a letter of transmittal, the
parents quoted from an act Of Con-
gress stating:
"All pupils whose parents are
employed officially or otherwise in
the District of Columbia shall be
admitted and taught free of charge
in the schools Of the District"
Liberal Interpretation Urged.
The letter continued:
"It Is considered that the 1948
Appropriation Act, limiting the use
of the appropriation, if valid, should
be given liberal Interpretation. It
Is further considered that, after
studied reflection, our duly consti-
tuted school officials will recognize
the improperly of arrogating to
themselves such rights as are peculi-
arly reposed in the courts"
The Commissioners had been
asked to hold a public hearing by
parents in the Silver Spring and
Bethesda Chevy Chase areas, after
they had received bills for tuition
for the current school year while
believing their children were en-
titled to free instruction. g.

CLAIMS U. s. CONTROL OVER FISHERIES DISCRIMINATORY
 AGAINST TERRITORY

WASHINGTON - Retention by the United States of control over salmon fishing in Alaskan waters is discriminatory against Alaska, an Interior Department official tes- tified this week before a Congress sional Committee.
 Martin c. White, the Depart ment's solicitor. said that the Or ganic Act of Hawaii gave control over fisheries in Hawaiian waters to that Territory but that just the opposite was provided in the Or ganic Act of Alaska.
 White testified at a hearing on an Interior Department bill propos- ing a licensing system for fish traps in Alaskan waters. It would cut down the number of traps, 1i- cense the remaining sites for 15 years and give the Territory part of the fees received from them.
 Cites Discrimination
 Senator Moore. (R-Okla.) chair man of a joint House Senate com mittee considering the bill. asked White fl the difference in the Or ganic Acts of the two Territories was not discriminatory against Al aska White replied fl is and said he could not explain the discrimin- ation unless it was because of the importance of salmon as a widely used food
