the Leagues national president,
Alfred Kohlberg, charged that
Lowell had affiliated with pro-

termed Kohlberg's statements an
array of "half-truths, insinuations

because he has become sort of
possession of this column and
great help to the columnar pro-
cesses. I might say.
Whenever the widget business
gets too big and Mr.. Hillel needs
relief he refresheS himself by
writing this column for me; or, if
widgets are too pressing to permit
him to write he just calls on me
to get it out of his system.
Mr.. Hillel." I exclaimed. your
visit at this hour suggests two
things: that the widget business
is just too prosperous and you are
here to rid your mind of 50 many
widgets."
Exactly" he replied. He said
that at the moment he was work
ing on a million widgets for Jugo-
slvaia under the U. S. govern
ment's project of giving economic
aid to Tito. The JugoslavianS are
badly in need of widgets and
without a plentiful supply of wild
gets they might feel like going
over to Cominform."
I'm short" he said. my widgets
are fighting Communism. If I
can get enough widgets to the
Jugoslavians they may stick to
their resolve to have nothing to
do with the Soviet Russians. So
my widgets may serve to help put
down Communism in the Russian
style"
But all that had nothing to do
with what was heavy on Mr..
HilleIs mind. The moments

much more to do with Jewish
problems than with Jugoslavian.
"A Jew" he said. always gets
around to Jewish problems. At
the moment Mr.. Eillel was reliev-
inq his mind Of widgets by asking
the question: why can't Jewish
Americans be like Irish Ameri-
cans?
what do you mean by that,
Mr.. Hillel?"
Well he replied that he meant
the different ways in which an
Irish.American looks at Ireland
and a Jewish American looks at
Israel.
I'm what way, Mr.. Hillel, do
they differ?"

key. He doesn't take UP Ireland
as the main cause Of his being.
"And Jews, Mr.. Hillel?"
He replied that he had been dis
tressed to see the way Israel is
absorbing all the interests Of
Jewish life in America: In the
Jewish press Israel seems to be
the main thing Of American Jew

Of both officers and men so
much depend on a due regula-
ton of this department." Ap-
proval was given July Pitts
years ago last Thursday.
In the years since much of
the departments work has
been concentrated In Wash

Center, between Sixteenth
street and Georgia avenue

medical installations in the
world. 1t includes the depart

Among the schools current
projects are studies of two
compounds which appear to
inhibit the growth of the
fungus that causes athletes
foot, rather than simply treat

a new vaccine developed as a
possible immunizing agent
against scrub typhus, and ex-

Research on Island Universes Revealed

Gus giants, similar to the well
known red star Betelgeuse.
Jumping stars, with invisible
companions which may constitute
evidence of other planetary sys-
TENS like that of the sun in the
universe, were described by DR.
N. E. Wagman of the University
OF Pittsburgh. Superfcially they
are quite ordinary stars in the
relatively nearby heavens. II
would be anticipated that they
would move in straight lines
through the sky. so that their
positions could be predicted with
accuracy. Actually. DR.. Wagman
said, they do not stick to their
predicted positions. Something
must be pulling then out of line
and 1t can be calculated that this
would be the case If they were
accompanied through space by
small. heavy. invisible compan-
ions.
About a dozen sucn objects are
known. One was discovered last
month. Calculation shows that
the disturbing object cannot have
more than a fourth the mass of
the sun. Otherwise it would be
visible. It is quite likely. DR.. Wag-
man said, that some Of the COM
panions are no larger than the
earth. He pictured them as prob
ably inclosed in the same gas
envelope as the major star and
only separated by a few hundred
million miles.

Coal Operators Seek

Keeping Eye on Lewis

Soft coal operators. with a wary
eye on John L. Lewis, have been
trying to persuade Price Admin
istrator Michael v. Di Sale to
keep the lid off coal prices in
definitely.
For one thing, the operators
have argued in conferences al
ready held. coal prices are trailing
last years and profits are down
from 1949, despite heavy produc-
tion and expanding markets. The
Is cents ton which the last
March settlement with Mr.. Lewis
cost them was absorbed without
price increase, they said.
A price freeze would bring with
it controls on the miners wages.
and the operators-who don't
look for trouble this year-are
fearful that might stir Mr.. Lewis
to challenge the whole stabiliza-
ton set-up.
Reports circulating through the
coal fields have it that Mr.. Lewis
soon will ask another dollar a day
for his miners-now getting STATS
as base daily pay. 1t also is ru-
mored that the miners boss will
seek to increase the 90 cents a
ton now paid into the United
Mine Workers welfare and pen
sion fund. 1t is piling up at the
rate of $3.50 million year. but
outlay is high. Figures o, his well
fare demand run from 3 cents to
10 cents more a ton.

from a Florida vacation, hasn't

miners a 10 cents a day wage In
