sorption Of 250.000 Jewish refu-
gees in the new state this year.
Henry Morgenthau. jr., former
Secretary of the Treasury, said
last night.
Mr.. Morgenthau presided at
the opening of the two-day Ma
tional Rededication Conference of
the United Jewish Appeal at the
Shoreham Hotel.
The conference launches q cam
paign for $3.50 100000 to support
migration and settlement of Jews
in Israel, their rehabilitation in
Europe and North Africa and
refugee aid in the United States.
Mr.. Morgenthau said that 50,-
900 new Israel immigrants are
residing in temporary camps, with
,, 16, 900 women and children living
,, in tents. Other speakers were
formed New York Governor Her.
bert H. Lehman: James G. Nc
Donald, the United States Am
bassador to Israel, and others.
The audience heard a transcript
ton of the voice of Chain Weiz-
mann, president of Israel.
Says War Is Practically Over.
Commenting on the military
situation in Israel, Mr.. Morgen-
thau, who visited that country
several months ago, said the war
is practically over "and now we
hope that the powerful friends Of
the Arabs will not upset the nego-
tiations with other Arab coun-
tries by military threats or by
signs of armed support for the
continuation of Arab hostility"
Remarking that the Nations S
financial resources have been
strained by the war, DR.. Weiz-
mann said the four freedoms
enunciated by President Roosevelt
have a special meaning for the
people there.
Israel can assure the newcomers
of freedom from fear, but the
Jews of the United States must
provide funds to guarantee free
dom from want, he said.
Mr.. Lehman assured his listen
ers that Americans now can see
the end of the road of relief and
charity, of providing subsistence
for the remnant Of European
JeWry.
4Reich DIP Camps To Close.
While there are still $4,000 Jews
in displaced persons camps in
Germany and Austria, at the end
of this month at least four Ger
man camps will be permanently
closed and most Of the inmates
transported to Israel. he said.
Mr.. Lehman pointed out the
necessity Of keeping immigrants
moving to Israel at a rate Of 25,-
900 q month.

ing point IN overseas aid for Jews,
Mr.. Lehman said I'VE have passed

Union Plans 10 0uer'
Road Truck Drivers
In Seeking Members

A check of "over-the- road"
truck drivers designed to increase
membership Of the AFL Team
sters Union will be conducted
April lis, but the soliciting tao
tics will not include stopping driv-
ers on highways, Dave Beck, in
ternational vice president, said
here last night.
The Teamsters are seeking q
total membership Of between O.
100000 and 3.000.000 members. as
compared with the unions present
enrolment of about 100000, an
other spokesman said in Seattle.
Agreeing with other union lead
ers in insisting the campaign will
be conducted by persuasion" and
in conformity with Federal and
State laws, Mr.. Beck said the driv-
ers will be checked primarily. at
their places of business. before
they start on a trip, or after they
have returned.
/ Called Strictly Selling Job.
"The driver check Is q part OF
the overall campaign to organize
every man and woman employed
in the teamster craft in every nook
and corner of America" the Seat
tie union official said.
1T Is strictly a selling job" he
added. He explained further:
In checking whether members
of the. union are in good stand
ing, each driver will be asked for
his membership book, Union con-
tracts with trucking companies
require the drivers to keep in good
standing.
Whenever a driver replies he is
not a member. the checker will
not try to persuade him to join
at once, but the union then will
seek to organize all the drivers Of
that company.
In addition to places of busi-
ness" checks will be made at points
where trucks make normal stops"
for example. lined up waiting to
be unloaded at the waterfront. or
at restaurants where the drivers
stop for coffee. at warehouses, and
weighing stations.
Other Checks Planned Later.
Mr.. Beck estimated that the
union has from 10000 to ITS, 900
members driving the over-the-
road trucks.
He said other periods will be set
later for checking the other divi-
sions of the union, such as milk
drivers, cab drivers. etc.
Mr.. Beck said the union has
made similar checks in the West.
but this is the first one on a
Nation wide scale.
The Seattle spokesman said an
other purpose of the driver check
was to see If drivers, particularly
those operating under union shop
contracts. are members in good
standing"
Delays Could Result.
"Some delay could result If .
nonunion driver was, found work
ing for a firm that had union
shop contract with the, union. the
Spokesman said. 1--WE would ask
that the man be taken of the rig.
Otherwise our men just would
not work the next day."
Representative Hobbs, Demo-
crat. of Alabama. author Of the
Hobbs Antiracketeering Act OF
1916, commented:
If they interfere in the slight
est degree with a truck engaged in
interstase commerce. with the idea
of forcing the driver to pay any
money or join a union. it would
be a violation. If they merely ask
the driver If he is a member. and
if not. tell him he ought to join,
that would not be a violation. 1t

Natures Children

Butterflies, like humans, are
sometimes the victims of aggressive
enemies or diseases. The Monarch
butterfly is likely victim for the
tachinid fly larvae. This carnivor-
GUS fly parasite is the greatest ene-
my of the Monarch.
If you notice a great scarcity OF
these beautiful butterflies when you

the chances are the butterflies have
lost the fight and millions of them
were destroyed before they saw the
light of day.
The fly has the advantage over
her victim while it is still q fat
caterpillar. The caterpillar is al
ways dressed in black and white
stripes. It's flexible, orange-colored
horns wave frantically back and
forth from the caudal extremity
when pain assails it. This is its own
way OF expressing terror.
Strolling over the milkweed plant,
with nothing to do but feed, sleep
and grow, the caterpillar is unpre-
pared for the swift stab it receives
from the eager insect mother wish
ing to make it the family carry-all.
The eggs within the body of the
caterpillar hatch and the larvae de-
velop and consume the vitals. The
caterpillar shrinks until it is only
a wrinkled skin. Then the poor
thing expires.
Otherwise the fat little cater
pillar would have fastened its rear
in a button of silk on some steady
object, where it could swing free

Goren on Bridqe

A defensive play to suit the tastes
of the most exacting bridge gourmet
is the one shown today, produced by
Waldemar Won Zedhintz, one of the
three highest ranking players in the
United States. 1t is culled from the
current anthology Championship

The final contract of six spades in
today's hand is a highly sound one.
AS matter of fact, there was a
strong temptation on the part of

nership had the necessary aces and
kings, but with his evenly balanced
hand and no suit announced by
dummy that might provide discards,
he was content to reach for the
lesser bonus.
The ten of hearts was opened and
declarer won with the king in his
own hand. The king of spades play
brought forth the disquieting news
that trump trick must be lost and
since a club loser was inevitable
there appeared to be no way to make
the hand unless East could be caught
in some kind of trump end play.
At trick three declarer cashed the
ace of diamonds and returned to the
king of clubs on which East with
commendable foresight dropped the
jack of clubs. This was the begin
ming Of an unlocking campaign to
avoid having to lead a spade at the
end. Declarer then ruffed diamond
in dummy, cashed the ace of hearts
and ruffed a heart in the closed
hand. He then cashed the king of
diamonds discarding a club from

A. The theory Is nonsense. The
word news derives from new plus
"s," influenced by the French word
for news, nouvenes. While news
is plural in form, it is always used
as a singular noun. "a newscaster

gins his broadcast with: Here are

the latest news)
@. I've been told that it is wrong
to begin sentence with "and" and
"but." Is it wrong?
A. Certainly not. There is no
such rule, nor has there ever been.
@. You write, What are we COM

Debunking SuperstitiOns

There are many false belief.
about our language that never seem
to die out. The questions that fol-
low have been coming to me fol
years despite the fact that the su-
perstitions have been blasted in this
space time and time again.
@. You often mention "self-ad-
dressed" envelopes. What an error
for you to make. An envelope can
not address itself.
A. "Self-addressed" is quite cor
rect. Here is the entry in the Amer
ican College Dictionary: "Self-ad-
dressed: addressed to oneself for re-
turn to the sender and inclosed or
to be inclosed in q communication
for the convenience of one making
reply; applied to an envelope or

@. Why do you speak of a gram
matical error?" An error cannot
be grammatical. You should say
''ungranmatical error"
A. Grammatical is an adjective

NEW YORK, Sept. 2O.-Secre-
tary of State Acheson has called
on Latin America to join the
United States in a concerted move
to end the years-long warlike
turmoil in the Caribbean area.
Mr.. Acheson made the declara-
ton last night in Quilting this Ma
tion's Latin American policy.
He addressed a dinenr meeting
Of the Pan American Society of
the United States. which brought
out the biggest gathering of high
ranking Latin American diplo-
matte and economic leaders in
many years.
Mr.. Acheson declared the United
States is determined to encourage
the growth Of democracy in the
Western Hemisphere and to help
its economic development.
Will Oppose Aggression.
He said theh United States will
strongly oppose aggression or
plotting against any nation Of
this hemisphere" and added: "the
security system which eliminated
in the Rio treaty is now facing
a crucial test" This treaty by
American republics pledges each
to assist if another is the victim
Of armed attack.
The entire Caribbean area has
at times approached a state of
political turmoil" Mr.. Acheson
told the dinner gathering.
He mentioned recent plots and
counterplots which have disturbed
the area. and increasing military
adventures"
"The nations of the Western
hemisphere" the Secretary Of
State declared. must abide by our
regional commitments and main
tain peace in our own midst"
Sees No Need for Fear.
He said that IF all XXX proceed
along these lines, as we in this
country intend to do, there is no
reason why any nation in the
hemisphere should fear aggres-
sion."
Mr.. Acheson pledged that the
United States will "use our strong
est efforts. in keeping with our
international commitments" to
oppose any actual or threatened
aggression or plotting against
any nation in the hemisphere.
Discussing the controversial issue
OF diplomatic recognition of rev.
olutionary governments in Latin
America, Mr.. Acheson explained:
Recognition is not synonymous
with approval" and United States
policy is not inconsistent with
our encouragement of democ-
|racy."
Sending an ambassador is not
intended to show approval of a
government. the Secretary said.
but is to provide "a channel
through which to conduct essen
tial government relations and to
