Combined Jewish Appeal Wom-
ems Division has reached $18,-
396.71 in subscriptions thus far in
their 1949 drive, according to
Mrs. Louis Cohen, Division Drive
chairman. She says, ''We are not
stopping for the season. There are
a number of persons to see. With
hundreds of thousands already in
Israel without shelter and en-
ployment, we must make sure we
are doing our utmost here" The
1949 CJA total collected and
pledged thus far is now slightly
over $1O6,OOO.
Solicitors continue to visit the
women in the community for
their contributions. It is request
ed by the CJA committee that the
convassers be received graciously.
Because of the continued urg-
ent requests from Henry Morgen-
thau, UJA chairman, those who
have made pledges are asked to
make payment on them either in
whole or in part now. DR.. Leon
ard Weiner, CJA chairman, en-
phasizes the need by saying that
the bank loan of $4,000 is due
July 8. Five thousand dollars has
already been paid on it. This was
the sum sent on the occasion of

Hadassah Hold
Summer EUent

Hadassah's m ajor SUNNI r
event will be in the form of a
Patio Party night to be held this
year in the patio of the Louis
Kahn home, 1920 E. 7th, on Sat-
urday, June Is at pm. Mrs. Will
liam Davidson is again chairman,
with Mrs. Jack Fruchtman CO.
chairman.
Those who attended last year
will recall what an excellent time
was had and the fine community
turnout. Hadassah expects to
maintain that standard.
Proceeds will go to the child
rescue and rehabilitation work of
Hadassah, made heavier because
of the large number of orphans
entering Israel not only from Eu-
rope but now also from the Mos
lem countries. The latter are pitt
full youngsters who have lived in
squalor, and whose poor health
is the result of poverty. They re-
quire intensive rehabilitation in
adapting to living by Western
standards and guidance to make
normal adjustments to life in Is
rael as well as job training.
Serving on the committee are:
Mines. Meyer Agron, Dennis
Bernstein, Morris Komie, Clara
Levine, Ben Kessler, Nathan Lie
herman, Arthur Scheff, Leon
Steinberg, Frieda Weissberger.
Cashiers will be Mines. Abe
Feuerstein and Henry Rubinstein.
Mrs. Louis Cohen is ex-officio
member.
Kosher refreshments will be
available for those who desire
them. It will be an evening of
fun. All kinds of card games will
be played and women are re-
minded to bring their NAH jong

ZOA Leaders
Go Israel

New York (JTA)-At the first
meeting of the newly-elected
ZOA national executive commit
tee Daniel Frisch reiterated the
resolve of his administration to
preserve the unity which has been
attained at the convention with
the formation of a coalition ad-
ministration. He announced his
impending departure for Israel,
together with a seven-man COM
mission, for the purpose of i'm
plementing the convention reso-
luton for the establishment of an
American General Zionist House
in Tel Aviv for which the initial
amount of $292,0O0 was raised at
the convention.
While in Israel, Mr.. Frisch will
negotiate with the Israeli Govern
ment for a charter" for Ameri-
can Zionist projects in that coun-
try. The Commission will pay
special attention to implementing
unanimous resolution of the
convention to give aid to private
industry in Israel. 1t also urged
full support of the UJA campaign.

to a final peace settlement and
that the making of such conces-
Sions before a peace settlement
would be the equivalent of "re-
warding the Arabs for aggreS-
sion" 1t was also reported that
Israeli representatives declared
that they could not make such
demarche because the parliament
and the voters would reject it.
In ali appearance before the
Commission at the Arab-Jewish
peace parley at Lausanne, DR..
Walter Eytan, Israeli delegation
head who has just returned from
conferences in Tel Aviv, outlined
the Israeli attitude. He made
number of technical proposals
which the Commission took to
mean that he wanted to work to-
wards early, direct meetings with
the Arabs instead of the present
system of communication through
the Intermediary of the Commis-
sion.
It became obvious that the new
US. policy of insisting that Is
rael absorb large numbers of Arab
refugees has been formulated
without the participation of Pres
ident Truman. It was not clear to
what extent the President had
been advised of the shift in State
Department tactics, and if he ap-
proves.

consider a new proposal from DR..
Ralph j. Bunche, UN acting me-
diator, forwarded from Lake Sue
cess. The Bunche project, it was
said, provides for the demilitari-
zation of the disputed area in
Jerusalem. Gen.. Riley, it is hoped
here, will also be able to solve
the Arab-Israeli dispute over the
Government House area favor
ably to both sides.
The decrease in the infiltration
of Arabs into Israel from the
north is due to the increased con-
troll by Lebanese security patrols,
according to a report made this
week at meeting of the mixed
armistice committee, held at Me-
tullah.
DR.. Ralph j. Bunche warned
this week that there was danger
of renewed fighting on the Syri-
an-Israeli frontier unless the Tel
Aviv and Damascus governments
could reach an armistice agree
ment.
Declaring that Israel and Syria
"now have under consideration

submitted to them," DR.. Bunche
added: 'I earnestly hope that it
will assist them in bridging the

Several years ago in the hard coal

evenly among all miners. Lewis tried
to achieve that effect in the bitumi-
nous field last July by ordering soft
coal miners to work only three days

Top Diplomats Seek
Formula for Britain

MO PERMANENT solution to
IN Britain's chronic dollar short
age can be expected from the top
level A-B-C (American, British
and Canadian) economic talks in
progress at Washington. That
solution will be the fruit of joint re-
search and study at later and longer
conferences.
What the economic chiefs of the
three English-speaking nations seek
now is series of stop-gap measures
to reduce the drain CT British re-
serves in order to gain time for those
long range efforts.
Two Developments
Experts consider two developments
as certain to stem from present talks.
One is creation of continuing, three
government council to develop stabi-
1izing policies. The other is agreement
on further meetings to work out a
monetary and economic program to
remedy the imbalance of British
trade.
One of the stop-gap proposals OF
British Foreign Secretary Ernest
Bevin is permission for Britain to
spend Marshall plan dollars any
where in the globe-not just in the
United States.
Britain would like, for instance, to
buy Canadian wheat, cheese, bacon
and eggs and wood pulp with Ameri-
can dollars. She has been prevented
in the past since virtually all Of these
commodities are available also in the
US.
AS result, Britain has been forced
to dip into its own dollars to buy
Canadian products. Last year, British
experts said, $110,000,000 of the ex-
chequer's reserves were spent in this
fashion.
Congress is keeping in. close touch
with developments at the conference.
Morgenthau's Views
Henry Morgenthau, Jr., former Sec
. retary of the Treasury, attributes
Britain's basic trouble to the fact
that American industry has achieved
such a phenomenal peak of produc-
tivity" that no western European
country can compete with it. He says:
"It's not that they are less efficient
than before the war, but simply that
we have so tremendously increased
| our own efficiency that they have
been outdistanced."
Morgenthau brushes off as super
, fetal" criticism of Britain's Socialist
government. The Labor government
5 did not increase consumption OF
, goods, he says, all they did was "cut
the same pie into larger number Of
pieces"

broken the law by not notifying the

AERIAL: Race for the Atlantic Trade
Costly Sky Clients

The Brabazon, Britain's entry in
the race for huge commercial air car
riers of the future, made successful
first flight last weekend
The l30-ton giant IS the worlds
largest civil land plane. Begun in
1945, it cost $48,O0O,000 and is de-
signed to carry 100 passengers nom

The largest land transport now in
regular use is the Y2-ton Lockheed

the Bristol Aeroplane Co., will use it
as flying laboratory to test out de-
signs for a Brabazon H.
The worlds largest plane, of
course, is Howard Hughes 290-ton
flying boat, designed to carry 700
passengers. This plane which cost
over $25,000,000 brought about Con-
gressional investigation two years
ago.
Just before he went to Washington
for questioning, Hughes lifted the
huge wooden craft into the air on
what had been scheduled merely as
water taxi test. He flew about a
mile at a height of 70 to 80 feet. The
huge ship has not been flown since.

ONE half Of Congress is still

such a stack OF major legislation that

leaders are expected to huddle with

still to be taken up and those to be

The fourth round negotiations be-
tween Lewis and the soft coal opera
tors were recessed some time ago un-

delay would permit Lewis to learn
recommendations made by the Presi-

agreement with the mine operators.
About Is per cent of all soft coal is

The miners welfare fund provides
more generous retirement and dis

the fiscal year ending June 80.
A three-man board administers the

Indonesia
Birth of q Nation

The round table conference on the
future of Indonesia's 100000 peo-
pie is reaching decisive stage at
The Hague.
Since their first meeting on August
%, the $50 delegates have been dis
cussing cautiously the political and
economic conditions for granting
sovereignty to the East Indies people
the Dutch have ruled for more than
three centuries.
The United Nations Commission for
Indonesia, which negotiated the truce
in the Dutch-Indonesian fighting, has
been ready to step in if necessary.
The first three weeks of negotiation
produced little more than agreement
on procedure and composition of
committees and subcommittee
During the informal discussions, it
has become evident two main issues
are still in contention.
The Dutch have modified their
original stand on a union with In
donesia, but still want closer eco
nomic and political link than In
donesian delegates have offered.
The two sides'a still far apart on
disposal of New Guinea. The Dutch
demand special status" for this un-
developed territory. The Indonesians
insist that it be included in their
federal state.
A consensus of authoritative sources
indicates a general confidence that
formulas will be found to settle the
issues and that it will be possible tc
transfer the sovereignty to a UNITED
States of Indonesia" this year.
There are two Indonesian de1ega-
tions meeting with the Dutch. They
are the Java-Sumatra representative.
of the Indonesian Republic and fed.
eralists of the other areas. In addition
to their joint meetings with tn,
Dutch, these delegates are working
on a provisional constitution for

In this highly ordered state, ex-
planned DR.. Shull, the individual
magnets are arranged so that neigh
boring atomic magnets cancel each
other, leaving no net magnetic effect
in the bulk material.
In this state, he said, the magnetic
structure is suggestive of that found
in solids. AS the temperature is in
creased, the magnetic orderliness
gradually disappears, passing first in
to a partially ordered arrangement
similar to the liquid state, and finally.
at high temperature, it develops into
a completely unordered aggregate
similar to the randomness found in a
gas.
"It has been possible" said DR..
Shull, 'by studying the interactions
of neutrons and atomic magnets, to
demonstrate existence of new mag
