THIS IS
TEL AVN!

(COnClnue0 from rage One)
between the proclamation and the
first bombs. -.....
But not even war can destroy
the elation of people proud of
statehood after years of bitter
struggle. That is why there is so
much about Tel Aviv, even today,
that reminds the observer of any
French city in the hours immedi-
ately following it's liberation.
There is resemblance between
the bearded yOuths-veterans of
the Negev campaign-and the
lOng-mustachiOed lads-veterans of
the Galilee fighting-as they
swing down the streets here sing
ing, and the Maquis of 1944-45,
having a last fling on the town
before returning to the front.
And there is in the Tel Aviv at
mosphere a great similarity with
that of a French town on it's
liberation. There is the accumu-
lated tension of the war years.
concern over present conditions
and anxiety over the immediate
future. On this is superimposed
an exultation in the new independ-
ence, as in France there was joy
over liberation. This is an excit-
ed, hyper-thyroid city.
Stop any man on the street and
he will tell you that Tel Aviv can
not begin to compare with Jerusa-
lem or Haifa, that it is too noisy
and over crowded and that it's eli
mate is abOminable. But every

Physically, the city cannot keep
pace with its growth. Despite the
war, the manpower shortage and
the lack of supplies, it keeps push
ing new streets into the sandy
wastes. The roadbuilders cannot
keep up. The transportation sys-
tenn is hopelessly inadequate. The
telephone service is the despair of
everyone.
The British, it seems, never
reckOned on Tel Aviv's growth and
provided central facilities for
maximum of 1000 phones. New

IcAc HOLDS
FIRST Meeting

The Independent Citizens Ac-
ton committee held it's first meet
ing last night at the YMCA. This
is the new organization on the
West Side which when it rolls
into action will breathe new life
into the spirit of the community.
Discussion centered about the
detectives with no definite de-
cisions arrived at until the next
meeting with a larger group Feb
ruary 20. Attending the meeting
were Messrs. Francis, Bowers,
Digger, Braithwaite and Attorney
Simmons. 1t was generally agreed
that the West Side is in dire
need of an overall organization
that will coordinate the activities
of the various smaller groups all
of which are concerned about the
pitiful plight of Negroes locally
and nationally. Attorney Simmons
had already issued a call for all
civic, fraternal and lodge organi-
cations to send representatives to
a meeting to be held February 20.
1t was felt by last nights group
that it might be wise to merge
plans and move forward from
there.
All those present last night
have been active in civic affairs.

S. Families
To Lose Homes

Charlton D. Putnam, executive
director Of the Dayton Metropoli-
tan Housing authority (DMHA)
announced yesterday that SIS fam
lilies will be homeless the end of
this month, because they earn
too much money to occupy low
income homes. Included in the
group are some family units in
the DeSoto Bass courts. The So
are only the first of 500 families
who will be forced to leave perm
anent low rent units.
Although these families were
given six to eight months notice
plus a two months grace period,
they have apparently been unable
to secure other living quarters,
else most of them would have
been gone. That they must move
into dwellings far below the level
of those in the Courts is deplora-

$4,000 Suit FizzIes

NEW York;, Feb. 10. CAMP
The much publicized suit which
Mrs. Willie Mae Tanner Douna-
vent brought against Miss Garretto
Tookes for $4,000, alleging as
sault, has ended in much ado
about nothing. Mrs. Dounavent, a
well known social figure, filed
the suit all right alleging that
Miss Tookes, a graduate student
at Columbia university, had
smacked her about the face with
a handbag last September. She
charged also that her husband,
Leroy Bounavent, a real estate
operator, had shown too much in
terest in Miss Tookes on the oc-
casion of the encounter.
The case was placed on the cal
endar but when the plaintiff dis
covered that it was to be defended
with vigor and that there was no
possibility of settlement, she and
her attorney voluntarily withdrew
the suit. Miss Tookes says that

AIR STRENGTH:
sA-Day' 1853

How important is it that the U. S.
have a potent, efficient air force?
Virtually a matter of life or death,
thinks the Presidents air policy
commission which recently reported
on the status of the nations air
strength.
Immediate and substantial en-
largement of the air force for "sur-
vival in the air age" was urged by
the commission; and January l,
1858, was set as ''A-day," or the ulti-
mate date when the U. S. might con-
slider itself relatively secure against
atomic attack.
After "A-day," the commission
intimated, it will be anybody's ball
game as far as airborne atom
bombs are concerned. 1.-THE air
force is hopelessly wanting in re-
spect of the future when a
serious danger of atomic attack will
exist"
On that premise the group recon-
mended that the government start
now to spend on the air force in 1913
1.3 billion dollars more than the 285
billion currently scheduled for this
calendar year, and that in 1949 the
total be raised still another 1.3 bill
lion dollars.
For actual air strength the COM
mission said that by 1912 the U. S.
should command a total of r., 10
frst-line planes, plus more than
5000 held in reserve.
Although it was extrememly m-
likely that the air policy commits
sion's recommendations would be
adopted in toto by this or any other
peacetime congress, the report put
realistic emphasis where emphasis
belonged. Everyone has been aware
that air power is mandatory if the
u. S. is to have any degree of ma
tional security in an era Of feverish
atomic-bonb production, and the
commission has succeeded in put
ting that awareness on as factual a
basis as is possible now.

GASOLINE:
5000 Years

To the oil industry and the man in
the automobile alike the idea of an
inexpensive, efficient synthetic gaso-
line long has been a kind of shining
goal somewhere in the far-hung
distance.
But, according to E. v. Murphree,
president of Standard Oil Develop
ment company, that ideal now may
not be so far off. He has predicted
that a synthetic gasoline, produced
by a revolutionary fluid catalytic
process developed during the war,
may power the nation when its gaso-
line reserve has run out.
Enough gas could be extracted
from known coal reserves in the
U. S. to drive the nations cars and
! airplanes for 5000 years. Known de-
posts of common shale, subjected
to the catalytic process, will yield
rs billion barrels of oil. Murphree
said.
The catalyst, a substance which
produces or hastens chemical re-
action, used in the process looks
like sand, scientists explained. It is
so fine that it flows like water, seeks
its own level and thus can be used
over and over again.
Refineries producing IL million
barrels of fuel daily now employ the
process which gives a high yield of
high-octane gas. ''The Importance of
such a development may be seen
readily when the apparent extent of
| our crude oil resources is consid-
cred in terms of possible future de-
mand." Murphree commented.

OPEN CITY:
Jerusalem,

Since apparently nothing can stop
the quasi-civil war between Arabs
and Jews in Palestine, that coun-
try's harrassed government has
done the next best thing and re-
quested both factions to spare the
holy places Of Jerusalem from any
depredations they might carry out.
The Palestine government asked
the Christian, Moslem and Jewish
religious communities to declare Je-
rusalem's ancient walled area an
"open city"
That plea couldn't stop the blood
shed but it could preserve the re-
llgious relics sacred to all three of
the worlds main religions.
Meanwhile, transportation was
being made available to evacuate
any of the $500 Jews still living
under Arab siege inside the walls.
They are the remnants Of 1000 nor
NAL residents of the area.
The walled city contains such holy
places as the Church Of the Holy
Sepulchre. reputed to be the sight of
the tomb where the body of Christ
was brought for burial; the Via
Dolorosa, the route along which
Christ bore His cross; the site of
Solomon's temple, and the Mosque
of Omar, most famous of Moslem
holy places.

And Rdtions

Meanwhile, two more cabinet Off
GERS, purveyors of the administra-
tons domestic policy for 1948, came
before the senate banking and cur
rency committee to plump for linn
tied rationing and price control
powers.
Julius Krug, secretary of the in
terror, predicted a shortage of gaso-
line, oil and coal this spring and
told the committee that if a ration
and control bill were enacted he
would freeze Immediately prices on
those products.
Secretary Of Commerce Averell
Hartman said his department
wanted to put price controls on
steel, textiles, lumber and farm ma
chinery. Clinton Anderson, agricul-
ture secretary, had long been on
record as favoring retail price con-
trolls on meat which also is pre-
dicted as riding toward a shortage
this spring.
Goaded by steadily rising prices,
Republican congressman were lis
tening more intently to these anti
imitation pleas by the administra-
ton.

COVER-UP:
NeU Look

Latest example of Communist
gymnastics came from the New
York correspondent for Pravda,
Yuri Zhukov, who explained the new
look in women's styles as a desper-
ate effort by industrialists to ward
off a depression.
There is no trick left that Ameri-
can merchants have not resorted to
in their striving to sell goods" OBJ
served Zhukov.
Last autumn, at the command of
textile corporations a new fashion
was proclaimed in America - long
skirts.
"But American women energeti-
cally resisted this fashion. A move
ment was started by Mrs. Wood
ward of Dallas in Texas, who
formed an anti-long skirt club. A
week later clubs sprang up in all 48
states.
'"The American press attempted
to dress up these reports as peculiar
jokes. OF course, they smack of a
peculiarly American type of lark.
However, they also have their own
economic foundation"
That foundation, he concluded,
was the shaky American economy
and last-ditch attempt by the capt.
talists to avoid a depression.

INDIA:
Death and Fasting

While Mohandas X. Gandhi, patri-

his latest '.fast unto glorious death"
in protest against Hindu Moslem en-
nifty, violence and killing were over
whelming his still voice.
And even as many people of newly
Independent India were praying
that the Mahatma might be per-
suaded to take food again before his
life was in danger, others grouped
into mobs and spread destruction in
New Delhi and Pakistan.
The slaughter of 1900 Hindus and
Sikhs was reported in Pakistan.
They were part of a convoy of 2, 400
being transferred from the North
west frontier province to Indian do
minion territory. In New Delhi Hin
du and Sikh refugees were running
wild through the city.
This was the result of partition
and the subsequent movement of
millions of persons from Pakistan to
the Indian dominion and vice versa

tude as has never been equalled.,
