the airport or at the port of de-
barkation, and presented with a
pin which bids him or her well
come to the State of Israel. That
is truly symbolic of the spirit and
the friendliness of the Israeli
people, but living conditions in
Israel today for tourists are not
too comfortable. Hotel accommo-
dations are practically nil and the
hotel accommodations that are
occasionally available are far be-
low our standards. Except for two
hotels in Jerusalem, would not
class the others as hotels. I, for
one, would visit Israel at this
time for inspiration, and certain
ly no one should be stopped by
the inferior accommodations he
might endure If he has a project
in mind for Israel that will help
in the development Of its econo-
mic welfare.
POINTS OF INTEREST
Israel is the most excitingly
interesting land from a historic
point of view. Between short dis.
tances, one may find points Of
great interest whether he travels
north of Tel Aviv, east of Haifa,
through the upper and lower
Gallilee, or south of Tel Aviv to
the beautiful beaches of the Medi-
terranean located about thirty
miles south of Tel Aviv, so beau
tiful that they defy description.
There, rising like Jehovah's wit
ness about $50 feet above the sea
and overlooking the beautiful
wide, deep sand beaches, lies the
ruins of the old city of Oshkalan,
reminder of the fact that there
once lived a people known as the
Philistines, who oppressed ana
from time to time attempted sub.
jugation of the Israelis of those
days. AS I stood on top Of those
ruins which overlook practically
all of Israel, took poetic license
in imagining that the broken
marble pillars scattered around
are the very pillars against
which Samson leaned when he
prayed: ooh, God, strengthen me
this time and let me die with the
Philistines." My mind reverted to
the rise of Samson and the story
of Delilah. Gone are the PhiliS-
tines with their Delilahs but the
Israelis have come home again to
populate the very land that once
threatened their existence and
where once Delilahs disported
themselves at the expense Of the
Israelis of their day, DeborahS fill
the land. Truly the Israeli women
proved themselves to be Debor-
ahc in H1nacn ne well aS Vvar.

Morse State To
Promote Fishing
Industry Scheme

The Norwegian Ministry of Fish
cries is proposing the formation of
q big new company for the utiliza-
ton of fish produce in North Nor
way, where some of the biggest
fisheries in the world take place.

Norwegian Fishermens Organiza-
ton, the Norwegian Trade Union
Congress, and other organizations
connected with Norwegian fish
cries. The company will take over
existing factories in North Norway

Development of the fish fillet
industry will be one of the main
activities of the company. along
with the production of fish meal
and the preparation of dried fish
in factories. The initial capital will
be increased to 20 million kroner.
The fishermen themselves through
their organizations, will exercise
a strong influence in the business
administration of the company.

STOCKHOLM.-(By AirmaiD-
THE question of how to preserve
peace concerns us more deeply
than any other problem today"
''Tage Erlander, S W d ms Prime
Minister, said in an address in
Copenhagen recently. But peace
does not come to us as a gift" he
added, land we do not want peace
at the price of freedom"
The struggle for peace is carried
on in the various International or
CARNATIONS built up after the war,
Mr.. Erlander said.
May / use this opportunity to
express our gratitude for the at
fitude of the great American de-
mOcracy, which after the war did
not desert torn and ravaged Eur
ope, but instead modified its re-
sources for the support of the Eur
opean demOcracies in a manner
without parallel in history"
Anyone desiring peace must be
prepared to back up his words
with force and power. the Prime
Minister continued. That is some
thing we have long been familiar
with in Sweden, and it is the rea-
son why we have continuously
strengthened our defense. which
does not constitute a threat to
anybody, but is only for our own
protection. We desire peace. but
not at the price of freedom. What
We don't mean the freedom for
unequivocal. We do not use this
word to create a false impression.
We mean the freedom for the
rulers to suppress the masses, we
do not mean the freedom of the
concentration and forced labor
camps, and we do not mean a So
called peoples democracy.
First of all, thought must be
free, enabling public opinion to
be formed by means of a free dis
cussion. But freedom must also
mean chance for each citizen to
shape his own life, chance for
education and continued develop
ment, in the field where the indi-
vidual believes he can gain most
for himself, for his family, and

Import Of US. Cars

The import Of American auto
mobiles into Sweden will now be
permitted within certain limits.
The Trade Commission has grant
ed licenses totaling about eight
and a half million kronor. The
importers have to arrange for the
dollor exchange themselves. The
reason for this concession is that
the large American cars are con-
sidered necessary for certain pur-
poses, primarily as taxicabs.

Real Estate Valuations
Increase in Winchester
sneciaI DISPATCH TO The star

WINCHESTER, Va, Aug. 12.-
The city council has asked Cir
cult Judge Marshall to appoint
a Board of Equalization to hear
from Winchester property owners
regarding the increased valuation
of city property just completed.
John Steck, jr., chairman OF
the City Finance Committee, re-
ported that the reassessment OF
city property based on 1910 build
ing costs, shows the value of real
estate in the city totals $32 ,971 900.
The present assessed value OF
city property recorded on the city
books is $11,666,000. Councilmen
said that taxes probably would be
based on so per cent of the new
assessed value.
Commissioner of Revenue Tay-
lor Barr is sending out some 4,40O
letters to property owners inform
ing them of the new valuation OF
their real estate.
The council also was informed
that the Shenandoah Gas Co. had
filed application with the Federal
Power Commission for permission
to provide natural gas to Win
chester, Martinsburg and Front
Royal. At present the city has
no natural gas supply and two
companies have been negotiating
with city officials regarding facili-
ties here.

Badly Lighting Stove

An 83-year-old Washington
woman suffered serious burns over
her entire body today when her

pared to light gas stove in her
kitchen, police reported.
The woman, Mrs. Henrietta
Silverberg, 83, of 1851 Tenth street
