Political Propaganda

PARIS, Dec. 10.-French police

pelling about 20 Poles for carrying
on political propaganda. boosting

from this country in diplomatic
clash between Poland and France.
Most of the latest group are
school teachers.
A Polish Embassy communique

at "worsening the state of Franco
Polish relations" France must
bear entire responsibility for this
state of affairs, with all the con-
sequences that can ensue." it said

Polish Embassy worker, leave
France within the next three

An employee efficiency rating
often determines his job retention
rights and plays a large part in
securing promotions.
At present, employees have the
right to appeal their ratings to
their agency appeal board, which
is composed of an employe rep
resentative, an official of the Civil
Service Commission and an
agency official. This assures an
impartial handling of the appeal.
Many agency officials say this
system is too complicated. They
want to have the sole right of
determining whether an employees
appeal from his supervisors rating
is justified. Consequently, they
are urging the scrapping of the
present system.
ANOTHER THREAT-Opposi-
tion to the present appeals sys-
tenn also comes from another
source. AS part of the Federal
pay legislation, the Senate several
months ago approved an amend
ment that they would have abol-
ished the present efficiency ap-
peals rating system and instead
would have left it up to the
agencies to set up any appeals
system they wanted to.
This amendment was stricken
in House-Senate conference, with
the understanding that the Civil
Service Commission would submit
its recommendations to Congress
next February on the overhauling
of the Governments efficiency
rating system.
! Senator Long, Democrat, of
Louisiana, one of the top men,
bers of the Senate Civil Service
Committee, may be expected to
renew his fight to eliminate the
present appeals system.
But Chairman Murray Of the
House Civil Service Committee as
we'll as some of his colleagues
on the committee probably will
oppose this move. All of which
leaves the appeals outcome in
doubt.

Motion for New Trial
For Burgman Weighed
By Judge Ho|tzoff

District Court Judge Alexander
Holtzo6 has under adviSement q
defense motion asking new trial
for Herbert John Burgman, 55.
former clerk at the American
Embassy in Berlin, who was con-
victed Of treason by a jury on
November is.
The motion for a new trial was
argued yesterday by Defense At
torney William E. Owen, who was
associated with Attorney James
J. Laughlin in defending Burg
man at the trial. Mr.. Owen ex-
planned Mr.. Laughlin was en-
gagged in case in Alexandra,
Va. Burgman, reported i'll by
Attorney Owen, also was absent.
Attorney Owen questioned jur-
isdiction of the court in the case,
contending that, under the law,
Burgman should have been tried
in the territory first flown over
rather than the place where the
plane bringing him from Ger
many had landed.
Attorney Owen further argued
that introduction at the trial Of
recordings of Burgman's Nazi
propaganda broadcasts. made dur
ing World War II, was illegal
under the Constitution. since it
amounted to having Burgman
testify against himself.
The attorney also argued that
Government employees should have
been excluded from the jury which
tried Burgman because Of the very
nature of the ofIense of treason.
The motion for a new trial was
opposed in behalf Of the Govern
ment by Victor c. Woerheide, spe-
cial assistant to the Attorney Cen
eral.
Burgman was found guilty Of
IS overt acts Of treason, involving
Nazi propaganda broadcasts from
Berlin during World War II. No
date has been set for sentencing.

If leaves are piled up and al
lowed to decay. they produce leaf
mould, one of the most useful
soil conditioners which amateur
gardeners can have. The more he
advances in the practice Of his hob
by, the more useful will the gar
dener find this material.
So do not burn leaves. Pile them
up, and invite your neighbors who
are not so keen on gardening, to
bring their dead leaves over to
your pile. If you use no special
treatment to hasten their decay, in
two years at most they will be re-
duced to leaf mould. But one may
easily shorten this period by
months, if he prefers.
Set aside suitable location, out
of the way, and preferably
screened by planting, or a fence;
10 10 feet would be an average
size. Clean off all vegetation, and
harden the surface soil by rolling.
Pile evenly over this area all

dead leaves and other waste plant
and even animal material, from
your garden, and from kitchen
wastes. But carefully exclude all
wood, branches, twigs and metal
objects. When the layer, well
tramped down, is six inches thick,
sprinkle it with a balanced fertiliz-
er mixture, about one ounce to
square yard. Wood ashes and lime
stone are also beneficial, each in
three or more times this quantity.
Then wet it down.
Build up the heap, layer by lay
er, with similar applications be-
tween the layers; and keep it
moist. If bad odors develop an
inch of soil thrown on top of each
layer will prevent them. When the
pile is as high as you can conven-
iently manage, cover the top with
soil and let it stand until you are
ready to dig the hurnus into the
garden. Start a new one to take
care of current accumulations.

PURM CURI0SITIES

in celebrating Purin in a refined
way. This association held an
nual Purim balls in such places
as the old Madison Square Gar
den and the Academy Of Music.
Proceeds were contributed to
various Jewish charities.
In 1882, there was founded in
New York, the Queen Esther
Ladies Society, which held an
nual balls on Purim for a num-
Der of years.
In a speech by Hitler on Janu-
ary 80, 1914, he said that, if the
Nazi went down to defeat, the
Jews could celebrate "a second
triumphant Purim."
An American eyewitness to
the hanging of Julius Streicher,
one of the first Nazi war GRIMM
ais to be executed, reported that
he shouted, as he was led to the
scaffold, "Purim Feast, 1896"
Streicher forgot or didn't know
that Purim commentaries not
the hanging of Hannah but the
saving of the Jews from Haman's
plot.
During World War II, the Jews
of England celebrated Purim in
the underground air raid shelters
but were cautioned against using
the traditional rattles since they
were important signals of the air
protection units.
In India there is observed a
festival which, by strange COIN
cidence, greatly resembles Pur-
i'm and which usually occurs on
the 18th of Adar.
Hadassah was founded on Pur-
i'm in 1912 as the Hadassah Chap
ter of national organization to
be called the Daughters of Zion.
Hadassah is the Hebrew equiva-
lent of Esther.

At one time Purim was known
as Mordecai's Day in honor OF

We already feel the wholesale
effect of the sunny rays Of the
establishment of the Jewish
state. We can sense it is the
most Indifferent Jews, even the
Jews who we used to think were
something of anti-Semites them
selves. A good example of what
has taken place is the case of the
young poet Karl Shapiro. At the
end of the war, he was hailed
as one of the great budding poets.
There was no question about his
genius, but along with his genius
was a complex against things
Jewish. He was coquetting with
an alien religion. In an article,
which he wrote at the time, he
dismissed Jewry and Judaism in
all its forms as being all wasneo
up.
Yet when those boys and girls
over in Palestine got busy, 10
and behold, the flame they had
kindled crossed the ocean and
glowed in his heart and Karl
Shapiro wrote an ecstasic poem
about Israel which appeared in
