WAR ON PIGGY BANK

The Bureau of the Mint has pri- vately declared war on that trusty receptacle of Americas s loose change the piggy bank. It's all because of the shortage of pennies, which in turn is due to the scarcity of defense-needed copper.
 The government has something like 19,197 ,534,000 pennies outstand- ing and another 175,O00,000 were minted during the month of Octo- Der. However, there's still a big shortage, forcing many banks to ration their outlay of pennies.
 Leland Howard, assistant direc- tor of the Mint, has an idea that the problem might be licked if all the nations piggy banks were ab- olished.
 Its a touchy subject" admits Howard. We don't like to tell peo- pie, particularly kids, not to save But we'd like to trade a paper dol lar for every 100 pennies stashed away in those piggy banks. Paper money is lighter and you can put il right back in the bank"
 The penny shortage is accentuateo in times like these when people have lots of money to spend anc retail stores go in for odd-cent pric- ing to attract customers, according to Howard.
 Cigarette vending machine oper- ators also are having their prob- lems. The new Congressional excise tax on cigarettes will force the cost of vending-machine cigarettes ur to 2l and 22 cents per pack in many cities, meaning that 3 or pennie: in change must be returned iron a quarter.

AFRICAN BASES INSTEAD

That evening, General Spry con- ferred at length with U. S. Ambas- sador Stanton Griffis who was hop ping mad over not having been in- vited to the conference. Griffis, one of the few Americans who express ed admiration for Hitler before Pearl Harbor, discounted sFranco's tough talk as typical bluff and expressed that opinion to the State Department in cable dated Oct ober IS.
 Other events, however, indicate the tirade was no bluff. Simultan- eously Franco gave an interview to the Mexican newspaper, Excel sior, stating that he would not cede bases to the United States. It was also made clear to the Spry mission that Spain would not give the Unit ed States anywhere near the same privileges given the air force in Eng

land, France and Italy. In brief, though we could build bases, they would have to be manned largely by Spanish troops.
 AS a result, General Spry is re- turning home with the recommen- dation that we use the air bases now almost completed in French Morocco. These are so close to Spain that they can easily defend the western Mediterranean.
 A U. s. naval base at Cadiz may be recommended by Adm. Robert L. Campbell who was part of the Spry mission-provided the United States is willing to pay for the cost of building huge commercial port for Spain which could be used as a naval base in time of war.

Meot-Hungry Jews
Ate 'Troif' Food in
Israel, Rabbi Says

DENVER, (AJP) =. A leading
young rabbi recently returned
from Israel said this week that
the dire shortage of meat in Is
rael prompted a considerable
number of Orthodox Jews, hun
cry for a taste of meat, to violate
their kashrus for the first time
when a large shipment of non
kosher canned meat was released
to the public.
Rabbi Lojzar Bryks, who per-
sonally delivered gifts fro m
Denverites to 200 relatives in Is
rael, reported to the Inter-moun-
tain Jewish News upon his re-
turn here that only an abundance
of cheap bread, herring and occa-
sional fish, potatoes and tomatoes
keep the Israelis from starvation.
'While R abb Bryks was
there" the Intermountain Jewish
News reported, "a large supply of
non-kosher canned meats was re-
leased from storage where it had
been kept by Orthodox protests.
MANY religious people, hungry
for the taste of meat, violated
their kashrus for the first time.
For those who maintained their
kashrus, the government pro-
vided extra eggs and fish as re-
placement"
Rabbi Bryks reported seeing
thousands of workers in Tel Aviv
each carrying home several
loaves of bread.

Prohibition Stand Questioned

A great deal is being written in the state press and
mnch is being said about the stand on prohibition taken by
@nr gubernatorial candidates in Mississippi.
Members of the state Legislature make the laws and
f is in this direction that citizens should look for an express
sion of views from candidates on this important question.
We feel every candidate for the state legislature should
say whether or not he believes in and will vote for submit
Sing the question of repeal to the people of the state. In a
democratic form of government the power to decide is vested
5n the people-whether good or bad.
For a candidate to say he is in favor of retaining our
present prohibition laws-and not giving the people of the
state a chance to vote on the question is to say he favors i'm
sogTng his own desires and ideas on the people he represents.
It is, in fact, a form of dictatorship, to withhold from people
fhe right to vote on public questions.
True, the governor may veto a bill passed by the state
legislature. But if public sentiment is overwhelmingly for or
against a measure the governors veto will be overridden by
y tkree-fourths vote of both house and senate.
: Thus it is the stand of the prospective legislators we
should carefully examine on the prohibition question-or any
