Protest Hagana Curbs
Nv the Associoted Prsss

JERUSALEM, June 5.-The for
eign correspondents in Jerusalem
met today and adopted q resolution
demanding that Hagana, the jew
ish army, give them full accredita-
ton as war correspondents.
I'VE foreign correspondents in Je-
rusalem hereby protest to- the sHas
CANA high command against tts
refusal to accredit foreign corre-
spondents," said the resolution.
This refusal is unwarranted and
constitutes a blackout on all Jewish
military and political activities in
this area.
Whereas our colleagues on the
Arab side and In Tel Aviv enjoy full
accreditation as correspondents we
here in Jerusalem, in addition to
suffering inadequate communica-
tions, are faced with the alterna-
tives OF opposing authority or being
entirely dependent on news in
scarty handout form. We demand
immediate accreditation and conse-
quent recognition by responsible au-
thorities Of our status as bona f1de
war correspondents
OF the 500 foreigners here, the
dozen American, British and French
correspondents probably are the
most forlorn. They find themselves
scooped by their own colleagues on
the Arab side and in Tel Aviv on
Jewish developments in Jerusalem
They move about with Jewish passes
and fare about the same as Jeru-
salem's Jews in the matter Of ra-
tions, water and light.

Duncan Returns,
Gives Rewarding
Recital Here
By Alice Eversmon

In a first appearance here since
returning from triumphant tour
in Europe, Todd Duncan gave a.
song recital in the Metropolitan
AME. Church last night under the
sponsorship of the District of CO.
lumbia Branch of the National As
ISOLATION for the Advancement Of
Colored People. The noted baritone
had superb accompaniment pro-
vided him by William Allen, who
played the entire program from
memory with much of the same
thorough understanding and flnesse
that Edwin Macarthur showed in
playing for Kristen Flagstad.
Mr. Duncan ranks as one of the
finest interpreters of the song litera-
ture in addition to his successes in
opera. He has great feeling for the
exact shade of meaning of every
word of the text and can give it
forth tellingly without any undue
stress. The clarity of his diction is
of superior quality in all languages,
with special appreciation of the par
ticular shades of meaning in foreign
words that defy absolutely correct
translation. With such profound
understanding and the ability to-
express it vocally, he becomes one of
those artists who makes every song,
no matter how slight or how ten
der, a dramatic episode.
The singer mas been in better
voice than he was last night, but
there we're several moments-and
altogether prevalent in Schubert's
who Is Sylvia" given as encore
where the quiet tones took on, a
lovely mellowness. There were
other times, such as the ending of
Rachmaninoff's % Thou 'Billowy
Harvest Field" when the tones were
harsh and forced, and this uneven
ness of production was to be found
in other numbers. 1t is a mighty
voice capable of a wide range of
effects, but it is possible that the
strain of heavy concert and opera
schedule was evident last night.
But ASIDE from these consider
atoms, with which all artists must
cope, the recital was reWarding. A
group of Schubert numbers, con-
sisting of Der Wanderer," "Wohin,"
"Nacht und Traueme" and "Aufen-
thalt," were exquisitely sung with
the special infections that belong
to Schubert's music and which, in
his songs, are so deceiving because
of their simplicity Mr.. Duncan's
dramatic sense was brought into
play in Moussorgskys THE Semi
narist" and again in his THE Flea"
sung as encore. The broad line of
the Russian group, which included
Rachmaninoff I'm the Silence of
the Night" and started off with
Sibelius' THE Tryst," was as finely
sketched as the classic requirements
of Handels 20 Sleep, Why Does
Thou Leave Me" and Purcell's
when I Am Laid in Earth" which
opened the program.
A French group of songs, the
aria, "Avant de gutter ces lieux"
from Gounod's Faust; spirituas;
Coleridge-Taylor's Life and Death
and Heads "a Vagabond Song
were listed later in the program.
A Duncan recital is not just re-
cital. It is singing plus dramatic
Interpretation, both on the highest
artistic plane which the audience
enjoyed thoroughly.
Because glacial action has been
the chief agency in lake formation,
a major portion of the worlds lakes
are in the north ATTITUDES.

tor makes you much more comfor-
table, but it does not act on the
cold virus, the health specialist
declared.
THE best way you can treat a
cold is to go to bed and stay there
quietly, sleeping as much as YOU
can. Keep comfortably warm and
protected from drafts. Drink plen-
ty of liquids-water, soup, milk and
fruit drinks. Eat light but nourish-
ing meals
See your doctor if your cold
hangs on after a few days. Don't
give what seems to be, only a little
cold chance to advance into some-
thing more serious.
ITO avoid taking cold, avoid peo-
pie with colds whenever possible.
Wash your hands often, especially
before eating and after touching a
person sick with a cold.
Change to dry clothing quickly
after being out in the rain to avoid
chilling and wet feet. Eat we'll
balanced meals with plenty of milk,
fats, green vegetables, fruit and
meat or meat substitutes

Body Is Own
Best for Cure
|0f Common Cold

No medicine now known will
cure" a cold, but it is the body's
own machinery that best fights the
virus, according to Mrs. Annette S.
Boutwell,, Extension specialist in
health education.
If you have not already been ov-
erfatigued, exposed to cold, wet
weather and chilled, or undernour-
ished, you can usually throw off a
cold easily with rest and proper
diet, Mrs. Boutwell, stated
Cold preventives and cures make
extravagant claims. Most of them
have been proved worthless. They
not only fail to prevent or cure
colds, many of them are harmful
because they contain drugs, alcohol
and sometimes strong cathartics.
Especially for little children, this
may be dangerous dosage, Mrs
Boutwell, added.

Bombers for Top

st. Louis Bombers, co-holders Of
first place with Washington's Caps
in the Western Division of the Bas-
ket Ball Association of America
had the schedule in their favor
today.
The Bombers have II games left.
Only five are with Western teams,
which outclass anything the East
has to offer with the exception of
New York.
The Caps face what looks to be
the toughest road. They also have
ii more games, but all but four are
against the Western powers.
Last place Baltimore is at a dis
advantage only because 1t has fewer
total games remaining. The Bullets
now trail the leaders by 21z games
with 10 to play. Only four are with
Western teams.
Chicago has II games to go, six In
the West. Any one of the four clubs
could end on top and the three play
off teams probably won't be decided
before the final games the third
