Israel Will Oppose
Communism, Ewing
Advises Labor Group
BY the Asseeioted Press


The citizens of Israel "are build
ing a labor democracy which has

Federal Security Administrator
Oscar r. Ewing said yesterday.
He made that summation in a
speech to the American Trade
Union Council. National Commit
tee for Labor Israel. He called for
full backing to help the new ma
ton along that road.
"They (the ISraeli) have a ma
tional theology which cannot, by
its very nature, go along with the
Moscow line" Mr.. Ewing said.
But they are also creating
something that is even more i'm
portant than ideology-a new
society in the Middle East where
people can be both free and we'll
fed. both happy and well-clothed
both self-governed and we'll
housed"
Mr.. Ewing drew on observa-
tions made during visit to Israel
earlier this year. He paid particu-
lar tribute to the activities of the
Histadrut labor organization
which covers about half of the
whole Jewish community.
He laid special stress on it's ef-
forts to integrate the Arab work
ers into the community on a basis
of equality and on its withdrawal
last month from the Communist
controlled world federation OF
trade unions.

When Mr.. Gunner decided to
handle anything he went to town.
This tenaciousness was responsible
for the success of his present firm.

Correct" said Tully. $50 what?"
"Your uncle is one of my dearest

Tully stared. A sneer curved his
lips. Mr.. Gunner, he thought, was
kidding.
Suddenly Tully realized that Mr..
Gunner wasn't kidding. He swal-
lowed, but managed to keep his
voice under control. "All right" he
said, "I'll take it. For the sake Of

Outside in the corridor, Mr.. Gun

Early Signs

One series and one swallow do
not make a summer. But a series
can at least give one some indica-
ton of things to come later on.
For example, it was generally
agreed that two things could help
the Red SoX no little in their des-
perate search for phantom called
the flag.
These two things were much bet
ter pitching and fast home start
at the expense of the Yankees,
their toughest challengers.
But if you care to check back
a few days, you'll find the Yank-
ees hammered three of Boston's
select pitching staff for "a runs in
the three games, an average Slight
ly better than II runs per contest.
Parnell couldn't hold a nine-run
lead. Kinder was just as bad. Par
nell is still due for a good year,
but, after all, Kinder's one good
year came when he was IS.
1t shouldn't be hard for pitchers
to win games in the Red Sox coun-
try. Even losing two out of three,
the Sox piled up % runs in the
three games. They usually give
their pitchers enough runs to make
it safe for almost anyone who can
throw a ball.
Take the case of Vern Stephens.
Last year Stephens only hit .290
and yet he drove in 159 runs. How
could that happen? Because every
time Stephens came to bat the
bases were inhabited with red
legged base runners-close to 1000
for the season.
In another New York-Boston
argument, the Braves at this writ
ing are far in front of the Giants.
The main idea of the trade was to
bolster the Giant defense, which
yielded 81 runs in the two Brave
games.

Norwegians Find
Oak Leaves
1000 Years Old

An interesting geological find
has been made during excavation
of the site for a new apartment
building at Grorud in Oslo. After
digging about 9 feet through a
layer of clay the workers came
upon narrow layer of black soil.
IN the layer of soil were found
large oak roots and branches as
we'll as acorns and hazel nuts The
branches still had leaves and some
were green and fresh, others had
turned to fossils. The layer of soil
stretches in a straight line over a
large area at exactly the same
depth. It's thickness varies from
to s inches. Moss, it's green
color still fresh, was also found
Geology Professor Olaf Holte-
dahl, W h o is Investigating the
find, believes that an oak forest
existed here 6 to Z thousands years
ago. At that time the glaciers
were receding from the Oslo area
The top layer of clay, he believes
was caused by large land slides.
