the Senate has the submerged lands
bill before it. These same liberals (who
would like to be liberal with our tide
lands) are trying to keep the Govern
ment from returning the submerged
lands the Supreme Court took from us.
The House has already voted nearly
three to one against this group. It
seems clear that if given an opportunity
the Senate will vote the same way.
Therefore, these liberal" Senators are
conducting a full-f1edged fllibuster
against the tidelands bill. Personally,
I have no criticism of their filibuster.
I think they are entitled to use every
means at their disposal to defeat
bill they oppose, but hope we don't
hear any further criticism from this

lieve them, life must be glamorous

Most of us know better.
We know from experience that there
are hours, days, weeks, months, even
years, filled with the daily duty, and
that in this duty. there often seems lit
tie demand or even need for glamour,
excitement, call it what the bright boys
will. t
We have been fooled, then, at least
to certain extent, in feeling that the
everyday tasks, as put before us, or as
we put them before ourselves, are not
enough.
Isn't washing dishes enough? Doesn't
this prosaic task result in sparkling

most wonderful creation. Long years
of evolution are in every wheel of it,
those so wonderful tires, large, meaty,
but filled with air to certain pressure.
These things are wonder enough, and
if they are not, there is still the eyer

Labelling the Communists

In some respects the usefulness Of the
finding of the Subversive Activities Control
Board concerning the Communist Party may
be open to question.
The American Communists, for instance,
have virtually no chance of attaining what the
board found to be one Of their major objectives
ultimately to preside over a Soviet America
under the hegemony of the Soviet Union. There
Is little prospect that the $4,000 members of
the Communist Party will be able to sell this
bill Of goods to the American people.
It is also questionable whether a useful
purpose will be served by requiring Communist
Party members to register with the Department
of Justice In the first place the FBI probably
knows who most Of them are. And in the second
place the really dangerous Communists prob
ably can evade the order by resigning from the
party and going underground.
But the boards order nevertheless serves
constructive purpose. It is helpful to have
formal hnding-and certainly it is true-that
the Communist Party is puppet Of the Soviet
Union and that it is substantially directed
dominated and controlled by Moscow. If it is
reasonable, for example, to require lobbyists to
register and identify themselves, it certainly is
reasonable to require the same thing OF
Communists.
FILneEmoEe tIllS orueE, uIlueI Cne CernlS oI
the Internal Security Act, has effective teeth.
If member stays in the party and does not
register, he runs the risk of incurring severe
penalties. If he does register he is barred from
employment by the Government or in defense
plant. Another provision of the law requires
the Identification of financial supporters of the
Communist Party, and this may serve to dis
courage few Americans from investing money
learned in some cases by their forefatherS-
in this conspiracy to subvert our system Of
Government.

lenged in the courts by lawyers for the Com

This Saturdays play will wind
up the quarter-fnals with the
Semi-Finals slated for March 21st.
lDePont-Newport will meet the
winner of the st. Hedwigs-Rocco's
in the first game of the Semi-Fin-
ais while the victory of the LAUREL
Hercules contest plays the Nation

In the games last Saturday ev-
ening Rocco's pulled out in front in
the first half 1926 but the Clay

of Earl Voss made a determined
comeback in the final drive to out
score the victors $3.50 but the big

bucketed Is and George Pantini
had IL. Each team had 27 action
goals but the shooting of the Roc
co five at the foul line was the diff

Claymont's Z.
Harrington had the better of the
going in the early part of the game
in their contest with the National
Guard five. At halftime they led
AZ to 81 and at one stage in the 3rd
period had IL point edge but the
young Guardsmen never gave up
aid fought back until they tied the
score and within the last minute
the score was deadlocked 74-74.
Wilmington passers gained the
edge in the final seconds and put
on a freeze and sewed up the con-
test with a two pointer as the
whistle sounded. Jack Fiorelli,
National Guard eager, was again
one of the standouts of the even
ing as his deadly shooting and
stellar foor-play sparked his team
to their second victory. He hooped

There is group of diminutive
brown birds whose tails are usual
ly held either erect or depressed
but who rarely hold any pose for a
considerable length of time. The
sounds they produce are usually all
out of proportion to the size of the
birds. The group is probably best
known by its representative, the
house wren, which obligingly occu-
pies or at least appears to occupy
the bird houses put up by hopeful
young naturalists. Closely related
to the wrens are the wren-tits and
the dippers or water ouzels, with
which we are not here particularly
concerned.
The wrens are usually the size of
the smaller sparrows. The Caro-
lima wren measures 6 inches in
cluding the 2 inch tail and the.b back
which is about 2-3 inch long. The
Carolina when is rather nonspicu-
ously reddish for wren and lacks
conspicuous markings except for a
long white or pale brown stripe
over each eye. The under parts
are buff and the throat whitish.
The wings are short as they are in
most wrens. The black bars on
the f1anks of the winter wren and
the white-edged tail of the Be-
wick's wren are lacking in the
Carolina wren.
Carolina wrens breed from
northern Florida to central Texas
north to Nebraska and the lower
valleys of the Hudson and Connec-
ticut rivers. Sometimes they are
found farther north into Ontario,
Maine, Michigan and Wisconsin
but this is rather unusual. There
are three subspecies recognized of
which the Florida wren extends the
range into Florida and the Lomita
wren from Texas acress the Mex
ican border.
Possibly the most startling thing
about the Carolina wren is that it
more or less is to be found over it's
range at any time of the year. On
occasion it may sing, even with the
snow on the ground, it's ecstatical-
ly repeated tea kettle" or "whee-
udel" song. This of course endears
it to naturalists who at the winter
season may be more or less starv-
ed for sound such as they hear
from this popular bird.
The nest is a mass of vegetable
material commonly hidden in
stumps, fallen tree-tops or some
times in buildings. There is an
inner lining of finer material. In
the nest the 4 to 6 eggs are laid.
They are white or cream with Gin
namon, brown and lavender mark
ings. There may be 2 or 8 broods
a year and incubation for IL days
is carried on chiefly by the female
that is smaller than the male us

Moshe Sneh-An Enigma

land in 1909. He is physician
NKVO at work He is no doubt
aware of the fate that befell the
Jewish writer's who returned to
the USSR and he knows all there
is to know about MOscow's atti-
tude to Jews, ZiOnism and Israel.
Still, like a SOmnambuliSt, he
walks with hands Outstretched
along the same perilous road that
brought so many to tragic end.
Background
MoShe Sneh was born in Po'
and served in that capacity in the
Polish Army in the early part of
the war. AS young man he
joined the Zionist movement. He
joined what was then known as
the Radical Faction, and later the
General outright. When
the General Zionists split into
two groups he sided with the
progressive" AS. He belonged
to the rising stars of General
Zionism and was given every op-
portunity to make a political ca
reer.
In 1910 he managed to escape
to Palestine. Five years later he
was member of the Jewish
Agency Executive. He was, called
Sneh, by then, and was charged
with a task of prime Importance:
responsibility for the Haganah.
When in 1947 the British learned
of his connection with the under
ground they issued a warrant for
his arrest, but he escaped to Eu
rope. His connection with the
Haganah and his dramatic escape
made him very popular and it
was then that the Zionist rank
and file first became acquainted
with his name.
Attitude Change
At this juncture Sneh adopted
an outspoken, anti-British atti-
tude. He was against any COM
promise with the British. He did
not trust America. And he fav-
ored rebellion. 1t was perhaps
only natural that he should look
East for support, gradually be-
coming violent opponent of the
Western orientation and belle
yer in the theory that Moscow, in
the game of international politics,
would be friendly to the idea of
a Jewish State. He outlined his
views in one of the best speeches
made at the first postwar Zionist
Congress in Basel. But his party
did not. support him and he left
the General Zionists.
Some people expected him ia
join Mapai, as a natural step
from the center to the left, or else
form his own party. But Sneh
had made is own calculations. He
Joined the dogmatic, radical, pro-
Moscow, left-socialist Mapam, a
slightly artificial composition of
three groups, formed in January,
1948. He was welcomed into the
fold and soon occupied front
seat. Hating Mapai and its lead
ers, Sneh turned his back on his
old party and adopted a radical
stand on social questions. Sneh's

MOShe Sneh is much in the
news nowadays. There are no
doubt other more vital problems
that require attention just now.
Yet circumstances compel us to
discuss this man. They also COM
pei us to oppose his views and
expose his activities, for he rep
resents both a type of politician
and a political trend that endan-
ger the security of Israel.
Mr.. Sneh was the most Vocifer
Gus and aggressive leader of Ma
PANS extreme left wing = a
group which advocates not only
a pro-Soviet orientation, which
they call "neutralism, but is pre-
pared to justify the Prague trial
and even tolerate Moscow's re-
cent libel against a group of doc
tors and the Joint Distribution
Committee. AS a result of his
uncompromising pro-Soviet stand,
Sneh lost his leadership in Ma
pam and was on the verge of eX-
pulsion from the party. Nonethe
less, he is still a member of the
KneSSet, powerful speaker, a
forceful writer, and man of con-
siderable organizational ability
and experience. He can do a lot
of harm if he chooses. Such peO-
pie do not give in easily. Nor are
they easily suppressed. And Mr..
Sneh has political friends and
supporters whom he has now tax
en- out of Mapam and organized
into a separate faction to be
known as Socialist Workers Par
ty.
Mr.. Sneh and his friends do not
go so far as to approve the new
Communist policy towards Jews
and ZiOnism, but they do oppose
every protest and condemn the
anti-SOviet agitation emanating
from governmental sources in Is.
raeI.
We are used to zealots and &C.
centres, and no one wastes much
breath over, for example, the To-
cal breed of Communists, such as
Mr.. MikuniS or Miss Wilenska.
What makes Moshe Sneh'S career
a story justifying special treat
ment is, rather, his unique polit.
ical career, his transformation
from a regular, run-of-the-mill
General Zionist to a left-wing,
fire-eating socialist with an ac-
companying, inexplicable hatred
of the West and admiration for
the East.
1t is not as if he were the first
to be, blinded by the light from
Moscow. The extraordinary thing
about Sneh is that he had many
and good opportunities to become
thoroughly acquainted with Com
munists tactics and the COmmun-
ist system. He witnessed the be-
trayal of Poland, the annexation
of the Baltic republics and the
