The Congress, in memorandum
sent to the current ECOSOC ses-
sion in Santiago, Chile, at the re-
quest of a seven-nation U. N.
committee which included the
five great powers, called upon
the Council both to renew its
appeal to states to grant natural
ization rights to these stateless
persons and to launch a full in
vestigation of the extent and
causes of statelessness.
The VIC document reported
that thousands are men without

of nationhood despite the fact
that they have "honorablY dis

PLAIN TALK
MY TREE
BY Alfred sesal


I have just acquired a tree in
Israel. His Sabbath school was
selling Israeli trees recently and
my grandson Paul (he's 81 thought
he should buy one for me. So /
get a certificate saying that a
tree is being planted in my name
in Israel: my Immortality on
earth seems assured.
I know very well that a mans
immortality cannot depend on

really isn't the word for it. The
term column" suggests some
thing of granite that will last
forever, like the Doric columns
that keep standing in Greece.
But what's a newspaper col
umn? There's not the least i'm
mortality in it: in this column I
am only Of today. not in the least
of tomorrow. Tomorrow the
page that carries this column may
be fluttering away on wind.
suffering along cutters. finally
ending up in the effluvia of some
sewer. Or it may be used to
wrap up a pair of shoes that's
going to the cobbler's. II am not
at all deploring that this column
may end up by helping to carry
an old pair of shoes. In that way
it's usefulness is made to continue
beyond this day.
The way columnists hand down
their dicta, you'd think they were
fellows who consider themselves
eternal, like Scripture. But only
the other day l saw Pegler in a
garbage can in our town. His
name stuck up over the other re-
fuse in the can.
So / could feel grateful to my
grandson Paul for putting me i'm
mortallY into a growing tree in
Israel. He is a bright child who
may have thought. My poor old
grandpa has nothing but a col
umn to live by. And is that a
life? I'll do something grand by
the old geezer. I'll get him 4

His knowledge of trees told
him that tree may live even
100 years. A tree will give shade
to successive generations and
people will sit gratefully under
it. You can't say as much about
a column. A tree in Israel may
give olives ;. my grandpa will
live in an olive or maybe whole
crop of olives and people who
eat olives will call him blessed"
Yes, the boys right. Who's
column PRODUCES anything so
worthy as a fat, rich olive? /
prefer mine in martins.
I thanked Paul for thinking Of
me in that happy way. I said to
him: Paul. some day may
take you along with me to Israel
to hunt for the tree you have
given me. We shall go all over
