resentative Jacobs. Democrat, Of
Indiana stuck today to his plans
to subpoena John L. Lewis for q
hearing on alleged "undemo-
cratic" union practices in last
winters soft coal strike.
The Labor subcommittee Mr..
Jacobs headed was ordered abol-
ished yesterday by Chairman
Lesinski Of the full House Labor
Committee. Mr.. Lesinski asserted
angrily that Mr.. Jacobs had ex-
ceeded his authority in ordering
the hearing.
Mr.. Jacobs challenged Mr..
Lesinsh's right to abolish the sub
committee. Members of the full
committee then backed Mr.. Jacobs
by voting, 7 to 5, to consider to-
morrow morning the question Of
overriding their chairman and re-
instating the Jacobs group. Rep
resentative Velde, Republican, Of
Illinois, a member, said all Repub-
licans on the committee would
back the reinstatement move.
Voted Back In January.
If the full 25-man committee in
the end backs Mr.. Jacobs, 1t will
be the second time 1t has rebuked
the chairman on the same issue.
Mr.. LesinSki abolished Mr.. Jacobs
subcommittee last August, but
the committee voted it back in
January.
Mr.. Jacobs expressed confidence
1t would do so again.
However, In view of the coming
fall elections, committee members
were pretty much divided over
giving Mr.. Jacobs free rein to
delve into q labor controversy.
At the time he abolished the
subcommittee, Mr.. LesinSki con-
signed to o wastebasket subpoenas
for Mr.. Lewis, Lloyd II. Sidener.

u. n. Hears WARNING
That Arab Refugees
Peril IMid-East Peace

LAKE SUCCESS, Oct. 27.-The
United Nations Assembly received
an official on-the-spot report last
night that the Arab refugee prob
lem is worSening and now con-
stitutes a serious threat to peace
in the Middle East.
The report came from Howard
Kennedy. director of the U. N
relief and works agency for Pal
estine refugees. He said another
$50 million is needed to finance
the agency's program from July
!, 1851, to June 80, 1852.
q Million Refugees.
He said the 100000 to 100000
refugees are in desperate condi-
tion after two years of relief
Their clothing. he said, is gen.
orally "in rags and tatters," their
tents and biIlets are rapidly de-
teriorating and their personal re-
sources to supplement their mini
mum relief diet have been largely
exhausted.
The relief and works agency
was set up by the Assembly last
fall. A fund of $54 million was
authorized to finance its program
during 1850 and the first half of
1851. The main objective was to
transfer as many of the refugees
as possible from direct relief to
useful works projects.
Progress Called Slow.
In his report, Mr.. Kennedy said
the coming summer will not see
the end of the refugee problem
SO fraught with human misery
and danger to the peace in the
Near East" He said persistent
effort had been made to shift the
refugees to works projects, "but
progress has been slow" Up to
October 19 this year, the report
said, only 1880 were on works
projects out of almost 100000
refugees.
AN increase in this level of
employment will depend on new
financial contributions" the re-
port said.
1t added:
above all, the Arab refugee
wishes to return to his former
home and means of livelihood.
He has been repeatedly told, and
generally believes. that his present
condition is due to the interfer-
Evening star., 1950-10-27

ence of the Western world in his
affairs.
He considers the United Ma
tions mainly responsible for his
plight. He expresses little, if any,
gratitude for efforts to maintain
or improve his condition. He per-
sistently demands increased med
ical and educational services and
improved rations, both in quantity
and quality.
After more than two years of
enforced idleness living under un-
certain and trying conditions,
more than 100000 of these refu-
gees constitute serious threat to
the peace and stability of the Near
East countries"

Case of Missing Shack Solved;
HWosn't Supposed to Be There

When a shack disappears from
the property you're hired to watch.
you naturally call the police.
That's what Jack Landise,
watchman for Colonial Oldsmobile
Co.. 1241 Sixth street NE, did last
night. 1t happened to be Mr..
Landise's first night of duty with
his new uniform, badge and gun.
Police flashed a lookout for a
truck supposed to be carrying the
missing shack. An all-night search
proved futile.
Emmett L. Johnston, company
official, heard about the mystery
when he arrived for work this
morning. Hastily he called off
the search.
Evening star., 1950-10-27

Il guess I should have told the
watchman." he groaned.
Mr.. Johnston explained the
small shack belonged to a con-
tractor who had worked for the
automobile concern. Yesterday,
the contractor asked permission
to leave it on company property
for a little while. He picked it
up later.
"It wasn't big enough for a
doghouse, Mr.. Johnston said. He
conceded, however, he was not dis
pleased with his new Watchman.
II guess nobody will be stealing
Colonial Oldsmobile Co. while he's
on duty" he said.

Church Official Stresses Use Of Color
Light Music To Bring People To Service

Church attendance is a continu-
ing problem almost everywhere
but an optimistic attitude was pre-
sented last week to the Mems Club
of the East Cleveland Congrega-
tional Church by Rev. John R.
Scotford, whose position as edi-
tor of ADVANCE, the Congrega-
tional monthly magazine, brings
him in close touch with church &C
tivities all over the nation.
The basis of his optimism is in
a general interest such as the con-
test sponsored recently by the East
Cleveland Kiwanis Club, the fact
that figures show an upward trend
wherever statistics have been gath
cred, and the increasing success of
religious work in large university
and college centers. DR.. Scotford
emphasized the values of corporate
worship, although he admitted that
some few people may find spiritual
satisfaction alone at home or out
of doors. He also stressed the
growing use of color, light, and
music, both choral and congrega-
tional, as valuable aids in bringing
people to church, even if they mean

While Actual Relief Cases Are Few
City Welfare Serves Many Fields

A service started last June by
Miss Genevieve Quinn, director of
Welfare for East Cleveland, is get
ting to be a busy subdivision in
the department. 1t is the channel
ing of persons needing parttime
work to persons desiring part time
workers. Serveral of the 18 place
ments that have been made come
from the relief rolls, older persons
still able to do lighter work, and
preferring to keep busy as long
as possible. During the six months
in 1949, after the service was
started, 80 persons registered for
employment. There were any num-
Der of cases where short time jobs
proved helpful to both parties con-
cerned.
Right now the department has
the name and address of an older
man willing to keep walks clean,
or assist with furnace firing. In
the warmer months he would like
to help around a yard.
In her report for 1949, Miss
Quinn handled sc welfare cases and
81 cases involving juveniles. She
also serves as policewoman, CO.
operating with the police depart

with the case at hand.

NPay As You 60 Capital
Improvement Reserve Fund
Up To Voters At May Primary

Believing that pay-as-you-go
policy for financing capital I'M
provements is good business for
municipalities as we'll as other
businesses, the East Cleveland City
Commission will seak authority at
the May Primary to establish a
one-mill capital improvements
levy.
The question will be presented
as an amendment to the city
charter.
Following a trend in long-range
municipal financing, East Cleve-
land voters will be asked to vote
a one-mill levy to build up capital
improvement reserve fund. The
levy, estimated to return approx
mately 100000 a year would be
earmarked for this special pur-
pose and could not be used for
any other purpose.
Once established, the levy would
be utilized only as Improvements
to be made.
The proposal was presented to
the City Commission Tuesday
night and the Commission, agree
ing to it, will meet in recessed
session next Tuesday, February
28th, at 7:45 o'clock, to enact the
legislation necessary to get the
issue on the May Primary ballot.
Favoring the step, City Manager
Chas. A. Carran said it had been
the history of the city to issue
bonds whenever a capital outlay
of funds was to be made. Securing
the needed funds in this manner is
an expensive proposition, since it
involves the expense of an election,
interest and other incidentals to
the issuing, paying and carrying
of the bonds.
Referring to the light bond issue
in connection with the plan to
relight the entire city, which issue
will come before the electors at
the November election, Mr.. Car
ran said that should the voters
approve the "pay-as-you-go" pro-
gram at the May Primary, the
light bonds would still have to be
issued, since the earlier vote would
not become effective in time to

This is the verdict of Chief of

found parked on parking lot,
near a gas station, or elsewhere.
Owners are being notified to move
the vehicle.
Within a day of two of the
order, owners of 13 cars and six
trucks were contacted. In few in
stances owners were waiting to
put 1850 plates on their vehicles.
Others promised to get rid of the
junk.
"An old car with a hanging
fender, wheels missing, bodies
damaged, are blots in the general
scene, and we want them cleared
away" declared the chief.

to bring in a Dover street sign
as initiation week stuff.
The trio were in the act Of re-

before Judge Stenton Adams on
charges of disorderly conduct, they
told their story.

guilty to a bench warrant charge
Of disorderly conduct. He heard
himself fined 5000 and costs and
