in its spring drive to aid the

This event is usually a gala
one But as is fitting in this year
1913, when Americans are facing
a most crucial period j.. where
democracy and freedom is about
to be legislatively BACKED out,
for the first time in this organ

event took Political Action, as
well as analyzing the political
situation at home and abroad.
We certainly appreciate and
are happy that the Star took spe-
Gal note of the entertaining and
refreshing puppet show presented
by Joyce Potter. But we feel that
the Chicago Star was seriously
and sadly amiss :. that the Chi
cago Star displayed shocking
political immaturity, when its
comments regarding this impor-
tant luncheon were confined to
the puppet show and nothing
more.
Approximately 200 wom
present at this luncheon on May
22nd unanimously went on rec

Wires TO Secretary of State

Yes, the Spanish Republicans
are still the hope of democracy,
They must live so they can fight

THE new Star is better than. the old when it

However the old Star better in some ways 1t
had more to about the unpocal side of life like

Research Committee.
Considerable discussion was
evoked on the continuation of the
Research Committee, recently au-
thorized by the Executive Com
mittee. Several members ex-
pressed their opposition to the
recent QUESTIONABLE of candidates
and report on findings to the
community, just prior to the Sep
tember primaries. One member
said the QUESTIONABLE should have
been broader and not limited to
information of interest to the
Jewish community. A member
thought there might be the dam
ger of someone representing him
self as the political leader of the
community. Another said that
Jews should not mix in politics,
certainly it should not be the
function of the Community Coun-
Gil. Others spoke in favor of con-
tinuing the committee. One
speaker pointed out that not only
did it give important information
about the candidates but also
conveyed to the non-Jew an
awareneSs that we were interested
in their views.

voys should be permitted to pass
freely to the Negev.
The resolution, Eban charged,
was not objective and did not pro-
vide for penalties against Egypt
for the original truce violations,
but was directed only at the effect
of those violations. He also pro-
tested that it was unfair to isolate
the Negev situation from other
sectors of Palestine where the
truce was also being violated. If
a principle" was being applied,
he argued, h n all the armies
should be ordered to withdraw
their forces to the positions they
held May 14-on the eve of the
establishment of Israel-and not
to the positions of Oct. IA.
Defense Not Aggression
'It was once considered by the
Security Council that to attack
Israel was an act of aggression. 1t
has presently become almost an
act of aggression to defend it,
he said.
President Truman stepped into
the Palestine picture and blocked
an attempt by the US. delegation
to force Israel to surrender its
gains in the Negev by the threat
of economic and diplomatic sane
tions. This occurred last week.
New Peace Proposal
A new avenue to possible peace
was opened by DR.. Ralph ].
Bunche, acting Mediator. He cir
culated among the five members
of the subcommittee with a
compromise of the British Chinese
demand for sanctions against Is
raeli-a rough draft of a resolu-
ton which would have the effect
of putting Security Council au-
thority behind the request to the
IsraeliS and the Arabs that they
sit down together and negotiate a
permanent peace. (Shertok has
repeatedly offered to negotiate a
peace settlement.)
1t is expected that the group
will present its formal report to
the Security Council. France is
still opposed to sanctions and the
U.S.S.R. is unofficially reported to
be prepared to use a veto to halt
them.

CHICAGO, Jan. 29.-Joe Louis,
world heavyweight boxing cham
pion, who will appear in a four
round exhibition match in the
Coliseum tonight opposing Young
Bob Foxworth, says, I'm gonna
be trying to hit somebody like I
didn't hit Walcott."
It will be the champions first
appearance in ring since he was
awarded the disputed 15-round
decision over Jersey Joe Walcott
in New York last December S and
Louis says it also will be his last
appearance in a Chicago ring. He
plans to retire this year.
The Illinois State Athletic
Commission has sanctioned to-
nights bout as an exhibition and
there will be no official decision.
Louis title will not be at stake,
the commission ruled, even
though Foxworth should score a
knockout. The commission added,
however, no one can prevent Fox
worth from claiming the title-if
he knocks out the champion.
Jack Kearns, veteran boxing
manager and promoter vino pilot
ed Jack Dempsey to the a1eavya
