(Ernfn Mrs L p Wnshin6

From Mrs. J. p, Washington.)
I think the letter from MIR. D. G.
H. is very interesting. His instruc-
tions for cleaning the waffle iron
are about the most detailed I've
seen so far. Some time ago I heard
on the radio that you should always
leave your waffle iron open until 1t
Is cold, before storing it after you
have used it. Then the waffles won't
begin to stick, 1t seems. I have no
waffle iron, but intend to get one
some of these days.
Those little gadgets for cleaning
silver were recently given away by
a company that manufactures a
chemical water softener. We got
two of them with boxes Of the prod
uct, but have been little afraid
to use them, I have heard that they
will ruin anything but bright I'm
ish silver. Those soft satiny gray
pieces ease their finish. That may
not be true, but I have no intension
of finding out by trying it.
Some time ago some one asked for
help on some tiny green worms on
the house plants. You don't have to
live in the country to get them.
They ate up one of my begonias al
most overnight. I sprayed my plants
with q special house plant spray
that I got from the company in
Baltimore that manufactures the
fertilizer tablets. suppose any kind
of plant spray would be safe for
plants, If the solution isn't too
strong.
think that the idea Of cats
using their whiskers to measure
holes in places to go into is mis-
taken one. If it were not, then no
cat with normal spread of whis-
kers would ever get caught in q
place too small to get out of, but lots
of cats are killed that way. The
whiskers are used for feelers, but
they just touch things with them
when they examine anything that
arouses their interest. So the cat
with the trimmed whiskers prob
ably won't get caught In hole be-
cause of the trimming. He may not
even get any more frustrated at
not being able to feel things with
them than a baby does at having it's
hands slapped for picking up any
thing within reach.

Three years ago your editor was busy
preparing talk for the Jewish officers
and men at Camp WOlters, Texas for Fri
day night chapel services for the occasion
of Brotherhood Week, which is sponsored
annually by the National Conference of
Christians and Jews. Even then we
wondered how much good such talk
could mean to those of Jewish faith, who
have suffered persecution throughout the
ages for the terrible crime of having been
born of Jewish parents.

To the Editor of
The New York Times:


press is carrying conflicting ac-
counts of the implications for
Jewry of the partition of Pales-
tine. AS president of the Ameri-
can Jewish Committee I deem it
important that there should be a
clear statement of what / believe
to be the philosophy and attitude
of the American Jew.
We are told by the anti-Semite,
through malice, and by some small
sections of American Jewry,
through confusion, that this par
tition has created a problem of
possible inconsistency between our
obligations as Americans and as
Jews. There is no such problem.
Five years ago our committee
stated: "There can be no political
Identification of Jews outside of
Palestine with whatever govern
ment may there be instituted"
These words state an axiom and
remain true today. The Jews of
America suffer from no political
schizophrenia. Politically we are
not split personalities, and in faith
and in conduct we shall continue
to demonstrate what the death
rolls of our army on many a bat
tlefield have attested. that we are
bone of the bone and flesh of
the flesh of America.
What should be the attitude of
Jews toward this newly to be Gre
ated state? We have affirmed
our sympathy with and our desire
to cooperate with those Jews who
wish to settle in Palestine. Now
we find this embryo state already
beset with the horrors of violence
and bloodshed and it's shores
largely closed to that suffering
remnant of downtrodden European
Jewry which yearns to go there.
In helping them we emphasize
that nothing can be done which
in any degree constitutes a vio-
lation of the laws of the execu-
tive action of the United States.
Course of Conduct Prescribed
But we have a right to repre-
sent to our Government for it's
action a great fundamental truth.
The United Nations Assembly did
not merely decide dispute be-
tween two peoples-it prescribed
a course of international conduct;
it decreed that partition was
measure that made for the peace
of the world. The world must
support that decree. The respon-
sible Jews in Palestine are en-
gagged in no struggle of aggression
or of aggrandizement. If any hot
headed group is acting at variance
with this position, that group is

group, in the opinion OF Govern
ment agencies and some op-
ponents as well as advocates of
UNIT.

yesterday In New York.

the assembly, formed last Decem-
ber, is Communist controlled or in
spired, the officers asserted at the
national headquarters.

Two HU Witnesses
Deny Saneiioning
Detroit gowdowns
III NJ Assoeiotsd Press

DETROIT, April 3.-ofacers Of
two International Typographical
Union locals denied today they had
promoted or sanctioned alleged slow
downs at three Detroit newspapers
last fall.
The denials were made at the
close Of National Labor Relations
Board hearing on an unfair labor
practice complaint against the ITU.
They came from Max Burns, presi-
dent OF the Detroit Mailers Union
Local 40 and c. G. Sparkmarl, presi-
dent Of Detroit Typographical Union
Local 18.
Both ITU witnesses said they
tried to prevent work stoppages
In the composing and mailing rooms
of the afternoon News and Times
and the morning Free Press.
Whenever they did occur, Mr..
Burns testified. they were not voted
by the local membership or sane
toned by either local or Interna-
tional Union officers.
Says He Was .BawIed Out"
On one occasion, he said, he told
mailing room men at the Times they
were embarrassing the Interna-
tional Union"
On another. he added, he was
"bawled out" by Woodruff Randolph,
IIU president, because of frequent
work Interruptions here. He said
Mr.. Randolph told him the stop
pages ARE not funny"
Mr.. Burns and Mr. Sparkman
made these other contentious under
questioning by Gerhard Van Arkel,
TTU general counsel:
l. They were willing to sign a
contract with the publishers If a
satisfactory" agreement could be
reached.
2. They were not bound by ITU
policy calling for posting of CON
ditions OF employment" rather than
adoption of written contracts.
Followed ITU Policy.
Mr.. Burns said his union "fol-
lowed" ITU policy to protect itself
under the Taft-Hartley Act. Mr..
Sparkman said he was guided
through months of negotiations only
by his local union policy. He would
have been willing, he added, to sign
a contract last year that did not
follow ITU policy If it had his
locals approval.
The NLRB complaint was based
on charges by the American News
paper Publishers Association. The
ANPA accused the ITU of adopting
no-contract policy as a ruse to
evade the Taft-Hartley Acts ban on
a closed shop.
1--WE. were not engaged in any new
conquests," Mr.. Burns asserted. "All
we wanted to do was maintain for
ourselves all we had except what
was patiently illegal"
The two unions reached an
agreement with the three news
papers early In March without any
written contract but with a IL per
cent wage increase.
