Czech Trends
Are Disturbing

VIENNA (JTA)-The approx
mately $4,000 Jews still residing
in Czechoslovakia are greatly per-
turbed over the anti-Jewish note
struck by Premier Antonin Zapo-
tocky in a speech delivered at a
meeting of the central executive
committee of the Czechoslovak
National Front.
The text of the speech indicates
the Czechoslovak Communist gov
eminent is embarking on an out
spoken anti-Jewish policy follow
ing the arrest of Rudolf Slansky,
former secretary general of the
Communist Party, and number
of prominent high government
officials. 1t was for the first time
that anti-Jewish remarks were
made public by any leaders in the
present regime in Czechoslovakia.
The New York Times reported
in a cable from Vienna that "it
was not believed that Premier Ia
potocky could have spoken as he
did without the assurance that he
would be backed by Moscow"

Churches Urged
To Combat Bias

FRANKFURT (JTA) - Prof.
Franz Boehm, chairman of the To-
cal Christian-Jewish Association
for Cooperation, issued an appeal
to all churches and all people
who acknowledge the basic prin-
ciples of human dignity" to unite
in fight against anti-Semitism.
Unfortunately, go percent of the
German people are afraid of the
ten percent who are anti-Semitic,"
he declared.

Vanishing Kagu

The beautiful kagu is headed
for extinction. The only place in
the world it can be seen today is
in New Caledonia in the South
western Pacific or the gift pair in
lthe breeding pens behind the small
birdhouse in the San Diego Zoo.
At first it was thought the kagu
belonged to the heron family be-
cause of its ashy blue-gray plumage
and red eyes similar to those of
the night heron. In later wears
the kagu was dropped into the
crane tribe because of similarity
Iof anatomy. Ornithologists finally
decided the kagu was in a class
of its own, its family Rhynochetidae.
Its nearest living relative in the
world, the sun bittern, with dis
tant cousins like the rails, cranes,
trumpeters, etc.
Coming upon the kagu in his
home haunts you are reminded of
a philosopher in deep meditation
The motionless one stretches out
his long neck, erects his crest, ex-
tends his short banded wings and
gives voice to the most blood
curdling cries that can be heard
for long distance. Calming down
it again assumes the motionless
posture.
Somewhere along its evolutionary
route, the kagu lost all power OF
flight. This was no handicap be-
fore man arrived on the scene.
FIeetness of foot was adequate.
The kagu lives off the land. With
the aid of his long, sharp bill he
extricates grubs, worms and insects
from the earth. The only two
chicks known to have been
Matched in captivity were in
Australia, the mother patiently
waiting 36 days for the release OF
her twins.
During World War II Admiral
Halsey presented the San Diego
Zoo with one kagu; later Admiral
Hendren presented a mate for the
f1rst lonely kagu. The contented
pair may be seen at the ZOO today.
Despite its legal protection
against man, the kagu is still open
to attack by rats. dogs and other
alien creatures introduced into its
lonely island retreat.

Charges for Checking
Rail Baggage Barred

The Interstate Commerce Com
mission today.ruled out a railroad
proposal to set up special service
charges for checking personal
baggage.
The plan, advance by Eastern
and Southern railroads, was to
have gone into effect tomorrow
for all lines east of the Mississippi,
with the exception Of New Eng
land.
The proposal would have fixed a
charge Of Is cents for each piece
of personal hand baggage or SIM
liar small item, and so cents for
each trunk or trunk-class type OF
luggage handled in passenger train
baggage cars. Baggage carried
personally by the traveller would
not have been affected.
Railroad spokesmen said the
plan was put forth to Offset rev.
enue losses in passenger traffic.
In directing the railroads not
to change the present practice
pending an investigation, the ICC
said public hearings in the matter
will begin August at Atlanta,

4 Other Measures Cleared.
Pushing toward a hoped-for ad-
journment of Congress before the
political conventions. the House
also sent four other measures to
the White House for the Presi-
dents signature.
One would amend the District
Boxing Commission law. The
House accepted two Senate
amendments placed in bill
passed previously by the House.
AS sent to the White House the
bill gives the Boxing Commission
authority to use $25, 900 of its in
vested funds for current expenses.
The measure also provides for
a 10 per cent tax on gross receipts
of boxing bouts, including funds
received from television. radio
and motion picture rights.
Amateur Events Excluded.
Exempted from that part of the
gross receipts from TV. radio and
movies. are amateur athletic
events.
The Amateur Athletic Union
also is exempted from provision
of the bill which requires dates
for professional boxing bouts to
be assigned by the boxing COM
mission. The provision is designed
to prevent two professional boxing
matches on any one night.
The other measures passed and
sent to the White House included
three joint resolutions authoriz-
ing the District Commissioners to
make necessary arrangements for
handling ceremonies inaugurating
the next President.
