40 And 3 Is
Legiion's Fun


Within the American Legion is
a fun and honor organization
known as the Forty and Eight.
It's members are called "voyag-
eurs and there are more than
1914, 900 of them in some $50 local
"voitures" or chapters.
The official name of this fun
and honor group is La Societe
des 40 Hommes ct 8 Chevaux."
Translated literally, it means the
Society of 40 men and Horses.
This name comes from the French
box cars which hauled American
troops in the World Wars.
These cars were conspiciouslv
labelled TO hold 40 men or 8
HOSES. American soldiers got
big laugh out of these midget
cars. especially when they were
iammed with 40 men So when
the men of the young American
Legion needed to laugh at their
troubles after World War l, they
thought of these midget cars and
formed their boxcar brotherhood.
To get into the 40 and 8. a
veteran must be a good legion
naire. He must have served at
least one year in the American
Legion and performed some SER
vice of note for his post. Initia-
tions into the 40 and are known
as wrecks"
Although primarily a fun-mak-
ing organization, the 40 and
Specializes in hard American Le-
gion work Vovageurs have often
been called the shock troops of
the American Legion. An annual
40 and 3 project is enrolling mem
bers for the Legion. The society
also vigorously supports the child
welfare program of the Legion.
Each voyaPeur contributes so
cents annually to the child well
fare fund.

Meeting Will
Be Held Soon

Executive Director Hirsh
Kaplan of the Jewish Commun-
ity Council announced this week
that he plans tentatively to call
a COMMUNICATIVE meeting dur
ing the week of June A to plan
Phoenix participation in the
S500,000,000 Israel bond drive
Kaplan emphasized that he is act
ing solely as a "private citizen"
without involving the Council in
any bond campaign.
"It's just to get the ball rolling,
he said, explaining that it is a
nationwide pattern for Jewish
Community Councils not to partici-
pate actively in the bond effort.
Kaplan said he hopes to bring to-
gether representatives of all Jewish
organizations to organize a cam
paign and select chairman ano
workers. He added that he already
has broached the idea of co-opera-
tive bond effort to leaders of the
various Zionist organizations which
staged an Israel birthday celebra-
ton recently. The suggestion was
favorably received, said Kaplan.

Big War
Menaces
Mid>EaSt

TEL AVN, (JTA) = Israel
prepared this week to mobilize
its military forces and place the
country on a war footing as a
reply to threats of aggressive
action by Arab States in sup
port of Syria.
Iraq moved its air force, anti
aircraft units and ground units into
Syria, to aid the Syrians in the
event of further Israeli aggres-
SION" The political committee of
the Arab League discussed other
measures to aid Syria. Israel au-
thorities took an increasingly seri-
GUS view of the situation.
The Israel Foreign Ministry
moved swiftly to advise the mem
bers of the UN Security Council
of the dangers in the new develop
ment. Israel Foreign Minister
Moshe Sharett pointed out that
''the Iraq forces now entering Syria
with the intention to attack or
threaten Israel constitute a flag
rant violation of the armistice
agreement with Syria. The course
of developments compels state
of high alertness for Israel since
the alignment of the Arab League
forces provides a sinister back
ground to the draft resolution
pending in the Security Council.
"Appeasement of aggression" he
warned, "has never been short cut
to peace"
Israel Will Fight
A Foreign Office spokesman
pointed out that if Iraq forces at
tack Israel from Syrian bases
Israel would regard such action as
Iraq aggression and would feel free
to take action against Iraq.
In London, British Foreign Of
fcie spokesman said that the Iraqi
action in dispatching forces to
Syria had been performed against
the advice of Britain.

the capital city. He conferred with
President Truman, Secretary OF
State Acheson and Secretary of

wing Israel and the United States.
In New York he was greeted with
a tumultuous turnout of more than
a million persons who cheered the
Prime Minister as he followed New
York's traditional visiting digni-
tary" route to City Hall. One of
the largest crowds in city history
jammed City Hall Plaza to watch
Mayor Impellitteri warmly well
come Ben-Gurion in the name of the

ing of the drive. Joining with Ben
Gurion to urge maximum support

nance Minister Eliezer Kaplan, and
officers of the bond campaign, in
cluding former Treasury Secretary

Sonneborn, Benjamin Abrams and
Henry Monitor.
Grateful to America
The Israeli premier made
strong plea for support of the bond
drive, declaring that the political
and military independence of Israel
for which much has been sacrificed
over a period of many years would
be a "mere shell'' if it were not set
on the firm foundation of sound
economic situation.
He emphasized that he came to
this country to give expression to
the ties of friendship which bind
