We met the Delaware quota
On the national building debt,
Gave a Past Master a regalia;
Were we elated? You bet!
There was compiled a cook book
OF plain and fancy eats;
And many a cake the ladies baked
And furnished for two state meets.
They sent garden seed to Europe
And apples to the Vets.
Did a radio program twice a month.
Made menus out in sets.
For twenty weeks these were in
print
So all could read and see
How to serve their home grown
food
And live more economically.
A plot Of trees was planted
On our dual highway fine
In honor of our brave boys
Who marched away in line.
And then a bronze memorial
Was set beside this place,
For those boys who marched
away
But lost in the wars grim race,
So we salute our Home &c. Chair
men
For the glory they have won,
And to those who kept the faith
with them
We say, well done! Well done!'

BingO Is The Password

CHICAGO - up - The forces Of
the law in this town crack down
from time to time on various kinds
of gambling. The latest target is
bingo. A tip came to the Shakes
peare Ave. Police station that
sounded suspicious. A big bunch Of
men had gathered in hall. There
was a peephOle in the door. A
guard would not admit anybody
who didn't know the password.
Several squads drove to the ad-
dress, burst into the crowded hall,
and found themselves in the midst
of a lodge meeting.

things Hague once publicly called Communist and
I'M American--got him in the end
1t would have been better if the Hague forces
had been beaten by John r Longo, one of the men
the machine railroaded to JAIL Longo in this race
and he inspires little confidence than Kenny,
who is disguntled former Hague lieutenant But
it's enough at least for the moment, that the boss
has had his comeuppance
Several reasons are being assigned now for the
defeat. Some say Jersey Citians tired of the
high cost of Hague rule; Jersey City has a property
tax rate of $3.50 per s1o00-highest in the country
and the town losing population. Others say the
times of boom had given many people an independ-
ence from the Lady Bountiful gifts of the machine
longer to buy votes with the promises
political avors Still others point out that for once
Hague was up against honest count; Jersey City
has voting machines now and the Hague boys
sequently have lost their old magic of ballot mani
pulation.
But little of the credit at least, must go to
the trend of the times which is anti boss Tom
Pendergast is long gone; Red Snapper Crump took
licking in Memphis; at last Frank Hague is broken
90.
Asked once who made the rules in Jersey City,
Frank Hague shouted Il decide. do. Me. Right
here" He was in the long run, wrong. The people
decided-and they decided against Frank Hague.

STATE DEPARTMENT SPANKING

Warren Austin, popular U. S.
delegate to the United Nations, Is
now in the State Department dog
house-for disobeying orders.
Secretary Acheson is furious at
him for deliberately ignoring m
structions on what TO do when the
question of admitting Israel came
up before the United Nations As
sembly. The Israelis were in flag
rant violation of. mediation orders
from the U. N, so Acheson felt it
was only proper for them to cool
their heels at Lake Success.
Just before the vote therefore, he
sent Austin four-page telegram
carefully instructing him to vote
for the admission of Israel but not
to make any speeches supporting
its admission.
Austin, however, paid no atten-
ton to these instructions. Instead
he made a strong speech champion
ing the Israel cause and, in addi-
ton, buttonholed dozens of foreign
delegates, urging them TO vote fol
Israel. His one-man campaign was
such a success that the new Jewish
state was admitted as the 59th
member of the United Nations
Acheson is now trying to figure
out what to do with the ex-senator
from Vernon for disobeying orders

DULLES TURNS FRANCO TIDE

Secretary of State Acnes1n was
hauled over the Goals by the Sem
ate Appropriation committee just
before he left for Paris by Senators
who wanted to know why the Amer
lean delegation to the United Ma
tons refused to vote for Franco
Spain.
Acheson told the appropriations
committee, whose job incidentally is
not primarily concerned with fore
ign policy, that the U. S. .delega-
ton had acted on instructions from
| the State Department. Senator
Wherry pointedly tried to get Ache
son to admit that there was a di-
vision in the American delegation
to the U. N. ON the issue. Acheson
didn't deny anything-nor did he
admit anything.
ut was my responsibility and
it was my decision" Acheson said
Actually, Wherry was right. There
was major split inside the Ameri-
can delegation at the United Ma
tons, and the voting was three tc
two against Franco. Favoring the
Spanish dictator were Chief u N
Delegate Warren Austin and Ray
| Anterior. On the other side wert
Mrs Roosevelt and Ben Cohen. The
deciding vote was cast by surpris-
ing figure, John Foster Dulles -
who voted against Franco.
