World Calendar Would
Stabilize HOLIDAYS

Important dates would be stabil-
lied by the 12-month world calen-
dar, with provision made for the
extra day left over from the So
week year in ordinary years and
the two days in leap year.
Easter would be stabilized as
Sunday, April 8, each year, one day
removed from the date of the Res
direction, April 9, AID. 30. Christ
mas would be pegged on December
25, a Monday, to provide a long
week end.
Wherever feasible, holidays would
be established on Mondays to pre-
vent descriptions caused by their OBJ
servance during the week.
The extra day in ordinary years
would follow December 80, the end
of the year, and be known merely
as Year Day. January would then
follow. In leap years, Saturday,
June 80, would be followed by Satur-
day, Leap Day, then Sunday, July 1.
Many business interests have ia
vored the world calendar because
of the contention that it provides for
a better distribution of business
days in each quarter.

ance to the Government than the
Canal. 1t suffered repeated damag-
ing at the hands of the Confederates
all through the War. The railroad
was much more vulnerable than the
canal, and the railroad company had
a continuous struggle to keep their
trains going. Bridges were burned
and destroyed so frequently that the
company found it necessary to keep
duplicates of all located in exposed
territory. At Harpers Ferry many
attacks were made, the Shenandoah
River bridge was burned and a To-
connective thrown into the river.
Sounds like Superman.)
The Confederates at one time oc-
cupied Harpers Ferry, but abandoned
it. Strangely, after this, the town
was left with practically no protec-
ton from the Union. There were
thousands of troops in Hagerstown
and Frederick, and others nearby
with nothing to do. Major Double
day was quite near the town; in fact
he had set up battery on a hill
overlooking the River and Virginia,
and was "practicing" on the Confed-
crates, but they didn't pay much at
tention to him. Under the noses of
all these Union men and forces,
mere four hundred Confederate men
entered Harpers Ferry, took the
Federal Arsenal, and did much dam
age to the railroad. They arrested a
few citizens, and then departed.
All kinds of Union forces were
then quickly rushed to the scene
locking the door after the horse had
been stolen. Some troops, moving
onto Maryland Heights, found rude
cabins without roofs and stockades
of Chestnut pickets, similar to the
ones used for protection against In
dians. These had been built and
occupied by a company of Confed-
crates from Kentucky under Blant-
on Duncan and a few Confederate
Marylanders under Bradley T. John
son, while the Confederates held
Harpers Ferry.

NEWS REVIEW
Panama Bases Denied;
List Grain Spectators

Unanimous rejection by Pan
ama's national assembly of treaty
which would have given the u. S.
the right to lease and man IA mill
tary and airfield sites to defend the
Panama canal not only precipitated
a diplomatic disaster but also left
this nation in the position of fighter
without a left hand to guard his jaw.
The action, strongly opposed by
Panama's President Jininez, left
the u. S. with just one alternative
to pull out-since commitments had
been given that no American troops
would remain in Panamanian terri
tory without sanction of an author
lied treaty.
Military officials later announced
that the withdrawal of some 1000
U. S. soldiers from the IA bases sur
rounding the canal would be begun
Immediately. That meant, probably.
that the troops would be pulled into
the canal zone proper. which the
U. S. leases from Panama. .
This was, by all odds, the most
crucial issue to arise in u. Span
anna relations since this country
purchased the canal from France
in 1904. And it was aggravated by
the fact that the inability to man de-
tense bases around the canal left
this most vital point in American
military security dangerously ex-
posed.
Rep. Albert Engel (Rep., Mich.).
chairman of the house appropria-
tions subcommittee on defense,
stated his belief that the national
assembly's 81 to 0 vote against the
treaty was influenced at least in
part by the Communist movement
in Panama; and he suggested that
the u. S. build a new Atlantic-Pa-
cific canal outside Panama if that
nation continued to refuse use of
bases.
There did not appear to be much
chance of further negotiations, how
ever; the assembly's rejection of
the pact probably closed the door on
that course. Some officials were
specializing on whether the problem
might not wind up in the lap of the
United Nations for solution.

WARMING:
On Prices

The Presidents council Of eco
nomic advisers. an astute group
that sometimes functions as Mr..
Truman's conscience. has warned
that the U. S. must return to real
price competition if the present
boom period is not to collapse into
a shapeless economic mess.
In its annual report the council
sharply criticized ''monopolistic
practices and declared also that:
MANY industrial prices must
come down at least in relation to
other prices and many rates of
profit must subside while reasonable
probability is established in other
areas"
The report surmised that the pres
ent era of prosperity was "abnor-
mali because Of such factors as
heavy exports, short crops and
great military expenditures. To
remedy the situation the council Of
fered these recommendations:
Elimination of deliberate cur
l. tailment of output as practiced
by some labor organizations.
= Discontinuance of the practice
q. of big business of hampering
the development of new, small busi-
nesses.
Z Development of natural re-
y. sources and increase in the in
dustrial facilities of the nation.

scope and content of the Zionist Organization of
America.
Now that the political objective has been achiev-
3D. the traditional Zionist program will have to be
rethought What is to be the relationship of
Diaspora Jewry to Palestine Jewry? What will
happen with the Jewish Agency for Palestine
What relationship will exist between the World
Zionist Organization and the Jewish State? What
part will American Jewry in particular have to
play in connection with the Jewish State? What
will distinguish the Zionist from the non-Zionist
in the new era?
These questions call for new orientation in the
Zionist movement. They will be the concern of the
next Zionist Congress
