Life in the H. S.
Tragic Love
Ends;

By the Associated Press

CHICAGO, Oct. 20.-BirdS and
dogs and cats may get nearly
$500, 900 worth of help from the
estate of a suburban Evanston
woman about whom a stubborn
legend of tragic love grew and
persisted for many years.
A copy of a will of Mrs.
Theresa Study Porter was filed
In probate court yesterday. It
stipulated that most of her
$780, 900 estate be used to aid
groups concerned with the well
fare of birds and animals. It
was expected some relatives
might contest its admission.
The will said Mrs. Porter was
doing this because of my long
affection for animals and birds
and because of the comfort and
Solace which they have provided
for me down through the years."
The legend revolved around
Mrs. Porter, her large and silent
house and a 1922 automobile
which had stood for years in her
driveway.
According to the story:
Many years ago a young couple
presumably the Porters-
climbed into their new 1922 car
to start their honeymoon trip.
The husband returned to the
house for a moment and fell
downstairs, killing himself. In
grief, Mrs. Porter left the
grounds and car INTENDED
throughout the years, while she
remained a recluSe.
Mrs. Porter tried to erase the
legend in 1889. She said then she
bought the car in 1929 to further
her hobby Of automotive engi-
neering, and besides she was wed
in 1904 and her husband, Albert
B. Porter, died in 1909.
She never said why she be-
came a recluse. That story died
with her.
Mrs. Porter, in her Dos, died

When news first reached the Jewish world
some years ago about the suppression of Jewish
life in Soviet Russia, the banning of Jewish publi

artists and communal figures there was reluctance
in circles to accept the theory that the would
be-savers of humanity had embarked on an anti
Semitic course The gullible and the misled and

World public opinion seems stunned by the
overt anti-JewiSh developments in the communist
countries. But actually the trend has been clear
to Jewish leaders for many years. In the days,
when Hitler's armies were ramming Moscows

to religion for help In those days the synagogues,

To Raise Communist
Treatment Of Jews
in United Nations

The Israel Foreign Ministry
confirmed that it's delegation
to the United Nations had been
instructed to raise the question
of the situation of the Jews be-
hind the Iron Curtain in the
General Assembly when it re-
sumes sessions next month.
The Communist bloc, possibly
with Arab support, is expected
to make every effort to block
full discussion in the world
forum of the Communist treat
ment of their Jewish hostages.
The Jewish Agency, which
condemned the Soviet regime
for taking ''the path of official
anti-Semitism," appealed to
the Communists to open the
gates of the Soviet Union and
satellite states for the exodus
of their unwanted Jews.

smelled or tasted since I grew up
and went off TO earn my own
bread for my family. And that's
almost so years ago.
What can today's young bread
eaters know about the perfect
taste of bread Especially on the
Sabbath eve) in these decadent
times? The mothers who loved to
bake bread in their own homes
practically are all gone and the
few who survive sit with folded
hands delighting in the rest they
well deserve.
Most bread today is the prod

applied TO bread in Jewish homes

Oh, the fragrance of my mo-

to speak of Mrs. Peter Harlib of
Chicago and it's about time for
me to get down to the thesis by
saying that Mrs. Harlib is of the
grand tradition that counted bak-

home. Yet, though l connect her

Republicans Capture
Philadelphia in
Democratic Upset
BY the Assoeioisd Press

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. "A
smashing upset in Philadelphia
that deviated from the national
trend proved the key block as
the Republicans swept to victory
in Pennsylvania today.
The G. o. P. vote in Phila-
delphia helped carry into Office

The Democrats gained some
solace in local conteSts-elect-

a G. o. P. standpoint was the
Philadelphia story.
G. o. p. Halls Result.
Republican leaders called the
Philadelphia vote a definite road
block in the path of the reSurg-
ent Democratic organization
here. BY way Of sharp con-
trast to yesterdays results. the
Democrats elected a Mayor in
1851 after more than a half
century of Republican rule.
And in last years general elec-
ton, Adlal Stevenson carried
the city over Dwight D. Eisen-
hover by 161 900.
The Philadelphia result was
all the more startling because of
Democratic prediction predic-
tionS that the party would carry
the city by as much as 100000.
The Republican city leaders. on
the other hand, had remained
markedly silent.
Mayor David L. Lawrence of
Pittsburgh said, meanwhile, his
easy victory was the result of
a unique local situation - a
combination of several things" !"
Lawrence Wins Easily.
Mr.. Lawrence, national lead
er of the Democratic Party, won
with ease over Republican Leon
ard P. Kane in yesterdays elec-
ton. With only one of the city's
434 precincts missing, he had
1882 votes to 82,049 for Mr..
Kane.
While Democrats in many
cities were hailing victories as
signs of their party's resurgence
to power, Mr.. Lawrence de-
scribed his victory this way: II
