Abe's boys held big George Mi
kan to 19 points, a moral victory,
and went ahead to down the fast
BAA club 49-45. Experts who
have publicly stated that any B
AA five could down the Trotters
must change their opinion of the
colored aggregation. The Saper-
stein clan now has downed the
Lakers two successive years in
the confines of the Chicago Sta
dunn. What is more, Abe only
carries seven men on his squad
as compared to the eleven most
BAA units carry.
Rochester, leader of the west
ern division of the BAA, will set
some sort of attendance record
for the league with an amazing
SO percent sale of available seats
for the entire season. Only a
few games with the lower level
teams have failed to sell out the
upstate New York City area. The
Royals gate doesn't vary more
than thirty dollars from one night
to another.
Washington has captured the
Eastern Division title in the BAA
and must stay in top shape for
the playoffs which start the lat
ter part of this month. Sonny
Hertzberg, former City College
star, is playing great ball for the
Caps who have rewarded Coach
Red Auerbach with a sectional
title. Auerbach is one of the
youngest top flight professional
hoop coaches in the game. He
contends that his team would
beat Kentucky soundly and in so
doing hold the boys from down
South to less than fifty points.
Auerbach has the big boys who
can handle Kentucky's Groza and
Jones.

At long last it appears that the
fistic dynasty of Mike Jacobs is
smashed. The man who made
Jacobs, Joe Louis, is the gentle
man who will force the former
ticket broker into permanent re-
4irement. Louis announcement
that he is quitting the active fight
game to join hands with Chicago
millionaires as a promoter is the
blow that will lay Jacobs out.
When Mike heard of his "boy's"
decision, he muttered, II guess
I'll retire, too" Joe informed
Mike of his intentions and the
Madison Square Garden impress
Sario tried to talk his former big
money ticket out of joining the
promotional ranks. Louis first
job will be to steal the next
heavyweight title promotion a.
way from Jacobs and the Car
den crowd.
If Jacobs decides to stay re-
tired the Garden Corporation
will take over boxing and prob
ably fold up the Twentieth Gen.

1y Harry Markson will be re-
tanned as promoter but many Of

ed to seek employment else

principal things we need. Ger
tainly, the fact that the Jewish
National Fund, as Mendel Fish
er, executive director of the Fund
says, enjoys the widest range OF
mass support, seems to be a tes-
timony to this fact. Somehow,
we instinctively feel what
George and Oppenheimer were
saying - that land is basic.
l never look at those blue-and-
white boxes in which we drop
nickles and dimes and quarters
as merely collection boxes. This
blue-and-white box seems to me
rather something like a mezzuza.
I hope am not being blasphem-
Gus when I say that perhaps we
should kiss it as we drop a COIN
in it, even as pious Jews kiss
the mezzuza. I cannot escape
the feeling that these blue-white
boxes stand for something much
bigger than charity. They stand
for justice, for there can be no
justice as long as the right of
mans access to the good earth
is denied. They stand for the great
principle of the Jubilee pro-
claimed by the Bible, the Jubi-
lee of the earth for which all
humanity is striving.
More Immediately, of course,
they will be the means of pro-
viding for the absorption of the
hundreds of thousands of Jewish
immigrants now directing their
feet eastward, as formerly they
directed their prayers. Judge Ro-
thenberg, president of the J.N.F.,
has just presented a program for
the acquisition of one million
dunams ofsthe land for the COM
ing year. That is a large amount,
equal to the total land acquisi-
tons in the half century of the
existence of the Jewish Nation
al Fund. It a large aim, but
there is no greater cause.

requested Mr.. Hoover and Sec
rotary of Agriculture Clinton
Anderson to prepare and re-
commend a comprehensive pro-
gram of action designed to al
leviate famine conditions re-
sulting from the wars disloca-
lures and the severe post
World War II drought in some
areas.
The then seventy-two year
old Hoover, who holds that
Saving of human life is a NOR

ed the Presidents call to duty.
He analysed the world food
problem in the following terms:
Cd That of caring for the basic
food needs of 800,000,0O0 men,
women and children; GU The
amount and sources of mini
mum 1000 supplies, (o) Con-
sideration of these 800,00O,000
people as the basis of civiliza-
TONS future.
Before starting on his mis-
sion of mercy with it's 81 days
of arduous travel and indie
fatigable work that called for
many hours of 81 nights, Mr..
Hoover stated that it's purpose
was ''to study means and meth
DDS of making the available
food supplies in the world, save
the maximum number of lives
and present the situation as
clearly as we can to President
Truman and to the American
people together with such ad-
vice as we can give"

his last public service. Now, in
July 1949, two years later, and
approaching his 18th birthday
on August 10, Mr.. Hoover is
beginning to see daylight
ahead. In between these two
dates he has carried forward
the work with the helpful CO.
operation of the twelve man
bipartisan commission, and
the assistance of 800 or more
of the nations foremost ex-
perts in the various fields of
government activity.
The Congress appropriated
two million dollars for the
commissions expenses, much
which has been spent for ira
vel, secretarial services and
printing expenses. Neither Mr..
Hoover nor his fellow mem
bers on the Commission receiv-
ed any pay for their services.
The Commission recommends

haustive comprehensive and
able survey that ever has been
made of our governmental pro-
cedures. If Congress accepts
and puts into effect the Hoover
commissions recommendations,
it can, by eliminating waste,
duplication and overlapping
services, reduce the cost of the
executive branch of our Fed
eral government more than

Except for his humanitarian
activities, his speeches and
writings as an elder statesman
in support of the American way
of life, { a phrase he original
ly coined) and his world food
mission in 1916, Mr.. Hoover's
talents, experience and desire
to serve his fellow citizens
might not have existed if judg-
ed in the light of his own gov
ernment's studied refusal to en-
list his help.
Mr.. Hoover's opportunity to
regain his own level came in
1947 by means of an invita-
ton from Congress to serve as
chairman of a bipartisan COM
mission of twelve men whose
task would be that of reorgan-
izing the executive branch of
the Federal government, our

The unanimity of expressed
approval over his appointment
helps to indicate clearly how
uniquely he was fitted to per-
form this service by both ex-
perience and ability as an ed
ministrator and organizer.
Mr.. Hoover was nearly 70
years old when he agreed to
undertake this important as
signment in July 1947. He did
so by stating that it was to be

es of want, disorder and specu-
lation are too many to record
here. It is only necessary to
state that the world depression
hit solid bottom July 16, 1882,
the day Congress adjourned.
Improvement from that day
forward was sure, sure but
slow. The power of the destruc-
tive forces throughout the
world was spent. Every coun-
try had gone through the econ
omic wringer. Now people
everywhere could begin to
work their way out of their diff
ficulties. Hoover was the world
leader who had helped most
to bring this about. Outside the
United States, where a presi-
dental election was being con-
Quoted, signs of recovery were
unmistakable. At home they
advanced zig-zag fashion with
little forward movement and
large amount of zigging and
tagging.
8: Ex-President 1933-1949
Mr.. Hoover left for New
York City Immediately after
Franklin D. Roosevelt had TAX
en- the oath of office. He re-
manned there and held himself
in readiness to help his success
sor in any and every possible
way. But no call ever came to
him from the White House ask
ing for his services, advice or
any information he might pos
sess which might be useful to
his country-men or the distress
ed people of the world until
the summer of 1915.
During the intervening years
from 1888 to 1915, Mr.. Hoo
yer made more than forty ma
jor addresses, wrote several
magazine articles, two books
and issued a large number of
press releases. Although his
treatment of the subject var
led, the heart of his message
never varied. It was plea for
resurgence of the spirit of
justice; for mans need for a
clearer appreciation of the in
dispensable place moral and
spiritual values occupy in his
life-his conviction that mans
ultimate destiny was fixed by
a higher power.
He continued to head many
relief undertakings and then,
in February 1916, Mr.. Hoover
supported President Truman's
appeal to the world to save
food to meet famine conditions
in many nations. Soon there

ELECTRICAL RATES ARE TOO HIGH

~ AA0AAL A1AA 1O <11L WV 11H
ELECTRICAL RATES are much too high, especially for
industrial users. That is a fact which no one can escape, and it
is.amost tragic, after considering the great effort made to eff
feet changes with the hope that conditions on the whole
would be better for one and all. That there has been some i'm
provement there is no doubt, but as yet not enough, and one
of the factors-the price-stilI remains to haunt users big and
small, and particularly those who must use large quantities of
electrical energy. Another factor-the additional charges that
are being asked Of persons who have units above one-thnd
horsepower, plus the installation charge.
MEETING OF users of electrical energy for industrial
purposes is being called for Tuesday, June 7, at s o'clock, with
an aim to petition the Council in attempt to secure lower rates
and bring about an adjustment in the charges for replacement
of such equipment above one-third horsepower. The mem
bers have already informally promised to meet with such an
organized group and also with the Power Authority at the pro-
per time. Such petition will be drafted and presented to the
Council. 1t is true that the AVIS is leading this movement, not
alone because we are one Of the largest users, but also because
we see the need for lower rates as a matter o.. pubic concern,
and in which everyone should take an active part, with an at
tempt to correct.
HAVING BEEN AN ardent fighter for better conditions
for this Island, the AVIS fought strenuously for lower rates,
for a change of the type of current and for the Municipality
to take things in its own hands and operate the plant as a pub
lie utility on behalf of the community, or in the absence of
that, then to purchase power from the REA Since 1916 a
Power Authority was created, and the matter placed in the
Ihands Of that body. There then followed a transfer of the
pewer plant from private hands to government ownership
With such a change the community looked hopefully for a
change, and many, along with ourselves believed that we saw
lower rates and improved conditions. There is no reason, SO
far as we know, why these conditions could not have come
about, and it is time that we call public attention to it.
WE BELIEVE THAT the Council will give adequate
