LAUGHS
By Paul Steiner

When prominent American
visited Israel during the war, he
was greatly impressed by tn e
quality of war materials used by
the troops. But what impressed
him most was the large number
of modern American tanks. At the
earliest opportunity, the Ameri-
can questioned a government Of
ficial about this. II can under
stand that you have up-to-date
planes and small arms-they can
be flown in secretly. But tanks,
heavy tanks! You couldn't have
gotten them from my country be-
cause of the embargo. How did
you manage to get them?"
well, it's like this" smiled
the official. ''The United States
gave the tanks to Britain under
the lend-lease agreement. Then
Britain sold them to the Arabs.
And then, well . +. just leave

VIENNA. Nov. 17.--Austria ap-
pears slated for wave Of Com
munist- inspired strikes following
the devaluation of the country's
currency. the schilling. Devalua-
ton is expected this week end.
Reliable observers said the
strikers would demand wage in

costs which devaluation Is expect
ed to bring.
Devaluation Of the schilling to
bring 1t into line with other low
cred European money rates had
been postponed until after the
recent national election and the
installation Of the new coalition
government.
Sources her reported also that
the International Monetary Fund
in Washington had fetoed the
new schedule Of rates first pro-
posed by the Austrians. Austrian
and American officials have been
comforting this week seeking
agreement.
The present legal rate is 10
schillings to the dollar, with q
trading rate-effectiye on COM
merce with other countries-vary-
ing from 19 to IS schillings to
the dollar. On the black market,
however. the dollar Is worth 30

Governor have been recognized in highest official circles in

trious career, and at the same time opens the door, making it
easier for those who follow. 1t is good, also, that the criticism
and department of those who sought the distinction of being

those who worked for, and will no doubt enjoy the fact that
the Governor has resigned, will benefit because the verya d-
ministration which they sought to discredit was successful.

TO INKIN MEN and women of the Virgin Islands
who want progress for all, there is bound to be a measure of
regret as Governor HASTE leaves to don the robes which de-
pict the high and responsible duties of a jurist in the Third
Circuit Court of Appeals at Philadelphia. These are the men
and women who try to look for more than meets the eye, and
who are not led away by spectacular and dramatic news
which is as meaningless as it is fleeting.

The West Berlin press charged
that the Russians were using the
same methods with which the
Berlin blockade started year
ago."
Western German officials con-
tended the new restrictions were
clamped down because the Soviet
zone mark lost value after the
lifting of the Russian blockade.
When the blockade ended one
Western mark, officially valued at
80 cents, would buy 500 Soviet
zone marks. One West mark now
will buy $50 of them.
Despite the new restrictions,
which drew an American officials S
charge that they amounted to an
indirect renewal Of the blockade,
West Berlin jubilantly saw fresh
fish and potatoes come off the
ration list today.
- The city government allowed
,Stores to sell the two foodstuffs in
Unlimited quantities and at un-
controlled prices which proved to
be lower than the ration prices
during the blockade. Chocolate,

Democrats Say Roosevelt
Must Make His Own Way
BY the Associated Press

The name "FDR" is a magic
one in these parts, but it won't
make everything easy for Frank
lin Delano Roosevelt, jr., when
ne comes to Congress.
AS the newest freshman in the
House the 34-year-old Roosevelt
must start at the bottom Of the
long ladder Of seniority, and any
faster-than-usual progress will
have to be the result Of sheer
ability, according to Democratic
leaders.
Only a few committee posts
are open, and they are not con-
sidered choice. If they were
some one with seniority would
have them.
Currently, the Democrats have
openings on these committees
Expenditures in the Executive De-
partment, House Administration
and Public Lands.
Although Mr.. Roosevelt was
elected on the Liberal-Four-Free-
doms ticket and defeated q
Democrat, among others, he will
be considered a Democrat fol
purposes of committee assignment
and seniority. Democratic leaders
expect him to sit and vote with
the Democratic Party.
