overlook. We have spent money
to dry tears and feed the people.
We have overlooked, neglected

Jewish survival possible-Jewish

MISUNDERSTANDING recent

riders and gave chase at a 100
mile per hour pace, to catch a
speeding Khan official going into
Alabama, where he was taken into
CUSTODY and jailed.
According to the Khan chief,
any members appearing on any
street, road or highway wearing a
mask or viZor would he banished.
He htated that the edict was
necessary because certain "unlaw-
