lobbyists on Capitol Hill from the
cradle to the grave.
Beginning at the cradle, the
National Institute of Diaper Ser
vices of Ney York retains lobby

year. On the other end OF life,
William C. Henning of Columbus,
Ohio, gets $4,000 for looking after
the legislative interests OF the
American Cemetery Association.
Even the family wash gets into
the lobbying act through Richard
A. Tilden of Washington, D. c.,
who represents the clothespin man
ufacturers for 500 a day-when he
works.
Lobbyists earnings also vary
greatly, some working for nothing,
while others haul down elaborate
sums running into five and six
figures. Thomas E. McGrath, adj

Virginia Republican Backs
School Transfer Proposal
BY the Associated Press

STRASBURG, Va, Dec. 10
v. F.. Shaffer, delegate -elect from
Shenandoah County, yesterday
indorsed the proposal by State
Senator Harry F.. Byrd, sr., to
transfer the duties Of County
school boards to County boards
of supervisors.
Il am convinced that this move
would result in more efficient
school management and should
reflect in economies to the tax
payer" Mr.. Shaffer said in a
letter to the Winchester legislator.
A Republican. Mr.. Shaffer was
elected in November to succeed
w. c. Lambert. He is the father
of former Delegate William r.
Shaffer, who served two terms
in the House.
Mr.. Byrd said recently he would
offer a bill in the next General
Assembly to abolish local school
boards as now constituted and to
transfer their duties and func-
tions to the governing bodies of
the counties, which also are the
tax-levying authorities.

Israel and Jordan Defy
u. n. Again on Plans
For Jerusalem Rule
BY the Assoeioted Press

LAKE SUCCESS, Dec. 19.-The
United Nations Trusteeship Coun-
Gil makes a fresh start today on
drafting a statute for interna-
tional rule of Jerusalem.
Ofhcials of both Israel and
Hashemlte Jordan. whose troops
divide Jerusalem between them,
made new statements over the
week end defiant of International
ization plans voted by the U. N.
Assembly.
Reports from Haifa said that
King Abdullah and Israel author
tiles plan to turn their present
truce into a peace settlement and
that the U. N. dealings spurred
them to greater haste.
Unable to Agree.
The Council, after three long
meetings here filled with talk,
has not even begun to write the
statute. 1t has been unable to
agree on whether it should ex-
press some statement of censure
to Israel for moving most of her
government Offices into Jerusa-
lem. or whether Israel should be
allowed to be seated at the Coun-
Gil table during the debate.
A French proposal to censure
Israel for moving government
Offices to Jerusalem failed to win
more than Iraq's support in the
council last week. Then France
and Belgium proposed that the
council adopt compromise reso-
luton stating that Israels atti-
tude made the job of drafting
statute more difficult.
Waits Chairman's Call.
Ifaq said that this was resign
ing in advance and conceding to
Israeli claims that the task can't
be carried out
The Security Council awaits a
call this week from its chairman,
Gen. A. G. L., McNaughton of
Canada, to hear his report on
secret talks he began during the
week end with high officials of
Pakistan and India over solution
of the Kashmir question.
Over Russian protest, the Coun-
ell last week authorized Gen.
McNaughton to try to bring the
two countries to agreement that
Kashmir-whose population is al
most 80 per cent Moslem-should
be allowed to vote whether it wants
to join Moslem Pakistan or chiefly
Hindu India.

Non-Admission To u. S. Of Europeans
Who Prosecuted Jews Proposed

barred from immigration to the
United States, it was recommend
ed this week by Sen. Alexan-
der Wiley when he announced an
amendment to revise the cutoff
date in the present DIP Act.
The new measure would have
moved up the eligibility date from
December %, 1945 to January l.,
1949, thus including $4,000 refu-
gees classified as DPS, by the In
ternational Refugee Organiza-
ton but barred from the United
States under present statutes.
Sen. Wiley said his amendment
covers 10000 to $4,000 DPS,
mostly Jews, who entered Allied
occupied zones of Germany from
Poland and other countries be-
tween April, 1947, and Deem
Der, 1948.
Approval of the amendment
has been publicly expressed by
the Citizens Committee on Dis
placed Persons and other groups
which have been striving to re-
wise the cutoff date. The revis-
ion favors Polish Jews who fled
Poland after the war to the
American and British zones in
order to escape postwar Polish
pogroms.
