Stubbs and Quocco
 At Fairbanks, 700
 Miles from Barrow

FAIRBANKS, R-Jesse Stubbs, 72-year-old friend of the late Will Rogers, trudged in Monday with his faithful dog Quocco on his trek to Point Barrow, where Rogers and Wiley Post met death.
 He had covered 445 miles on foot from Anchorage along the Glenn and Richardson highways. Ahead of his sentimental journey are 700 miles of trackless wilder ness.
 But from Fairbanks, Stubbs will not travel alone. Waiting for him here is Mrs. Edith H. Clark, middle-aged former employe of the Alaska District Engineers of flee in Anchorage.
 Gray haired Mrs. Clark has vowed that she'll accompany Stubbs on the difficult part of the trip from Fairbanks across the lofty Brooks range and miles of flat Arctic tundra to Point Bar row.
 Their goal is the spot near the northern rim of the continent where the plane carrying the famed American humorist and Post crashed a score of years ago. They plan to pay their respects to the two men there.
 Mrs. Clark said she had never met Stubbs but had planned a similar expedition for two years. When she heard the old timer was heading to Point Barrow, she de- termined to join him.
 T have no hesitancy about making this trip because before I depart on it I will see that have made all the necessary pre- parations in food and gear," she said.
 She has Stubbs' permission to join him, she said. Mrs. Clark came to Alaska from Tennessee six years ago.

Then, there's the Presidents
advisory committee on housing
both private and public. Out of q
members, there are 5 real estate
men, two architects, two labor Of
ficials, one veteran, one member
to represent all of the church,
civic, and planning associations
interested in housing-and 10
bankers.
This is another fine balanced
group. Those or 4 people with
experience in public housing are
going to be about as lonely on that
committee as the plumber was
that used to be in the Cabinet.
Moreover, the 21-man commit
tee has not one woman on it,.
Now, if there's one thing women
really understand, it's housing
and its relation to health and to
prevention of juvenile delin-
queICy anu cTlIlle.
Housing is more than a matter
of financing, building and selling.
It is a matter also of living. Bank
ers have a special contribution to
make on some aspects of housing,
but they do not possess half the
wisdom of the country on this
broad subject.
Then there's the Congressional
study of social security. The man
who heads it has called the whole
social security program totally
immoral"
This whole one-sided approach
is like what lawyers call stacking
a jury. The only thing is, in the
legal profession, we regard stack
ing jury as unethical.
But there is plenty of other evi-
dence, these days that the Cru
saders have lost their sense of
ethics. Remember how they came
charging in on their white horses?
Well, as someone said, white
horses get dirty soonest.

UP messes, any way? It's 4 percen-
ters instead of 5 percenters. It's a
Republican National Chairman
fired for taking 10 percent-on
selling a building to the State of
Kansas that the State already
owned.
There's Republican mess in AL
bany, New York. There's Repub-
lican mess on Long Island. There's
a Republican mess in New Jersey.
And there's a Republican mess
right here in Ohio, where your
senior Senator sees nothing wrong
with acting as Chairman of the
Senate Committee on Interstate
Commerce at the same time he
gets an income from law firm
which acts as attorney for the
Pennsylvania Railroad.
The Senator sees no connection
between his opposition to the St
Lawrence Seaway and the Penn
sylvania Railroads opposition. It's
just coincidence. But if the Penn
sylvania wants a stacked jurv
when it pleads its case before
Senator Bricker's committee, it
certainly took what would appear
to be a promising course to get
one.
Well, that's part of the picture
of the one-sided government we
have in Washington There's lot
more to the picture. There's the
story of how the Republicans, by
their neglect of agriculture, have
let full-fledged recession hit the
American farmers-a recession
that the farmers felt when they
voted Democratic in Wisconsin.
Incidentally, in Cleveland to-
day, they told me how they hope
to break UP the Yankee baseball
team. They're going to get Ezra

1t used to be that when lead
ing Democrat talked to a Demo
cratic women's group he always
discussed the role of women in
the Party. Women's meetings
used to sound like suffrage meet
ings-and in some places as q
matter of fact, they still do.
But we've come a long way
since those days. The role OF WON
en- in the Democratic Party is es-
tablished; it is a role of complete
equality. Positions of leadership
are open to women on the basis
of their abilities, and the days of
fighting for recognition and for
the right to full participation in
Party affairs are over.
The best road to the fullest par
ticipation by women in Democra-
tic Party affairs is in our block
and precinct work. l have found
in going around the country that
many of our most effective neigh.
borhood and precinct workers are
women. These women have made
a serious study of political issues
and they are deeply interested and
very skillful in helping and per-
suading their friends and neigh
bors on these issues.
Often, too, women have little
more time for neighborhood work
than men do, and an opportunity
to do such work in the daytime.
So the systematic organization
of precinct work is an attractive
job for women, and it is one of
the most important jobs we have
to do.
We need to admit that last year
the Republicans did that job bet
ter than we did in many cases.
particularly in the suburbs and in
the wards and precincts on the
edges of the cities.
The fact that the Republicans
out-organized us in these areas is
extremely important to the future
of the Democratic Party, because
these are the areas where new
families are settling and new
growth is taking place.
So this word / want to leave
with you as Democratic women
it is to you that we look, here as
in the rest of the Nation, to
strengthen our block and precinct
organizations-and to build pre-
cinct organizations and neighbor.

and growing areas of Toledo and

at the present time, be fully or

And the object is to be ready
for next years crucial state and

Ohio to our prospects of winning

til you're feeling it in metropoll-
tan centers like this one. A drop
of Is percent in automobile pro-
duction is expected next year, with
all that means to production of
steel and rubber and glass, and
to employment in the cities.
The Democratic Party wants
good times, and we will work with
the Administration in power to
bring back widely-shared pros
perity. This is a growing country,
with productive power increasing
every year.
We should not be talking about
readjuStments, as the Republicans
are We should be talking about
the higher employment and pro-
duction and the ever-raising STAN
dard of living that are within our
grasp.
We will advocate and work for
these goals, in constructive way,
assisting the Party that is in pow
er.
We will assist the Administra-
ton, too, in working for a strong
America and a world at peace.
There has been no carping criti-
cism on our Party-no epithets
and shouts of treason-and there
will be none. Questions of war and
peace are too important to be
made the subject of partisan poll
tics.
A constructive and a positive
role-in both foreign and domes-
tic affairs-is the way in which
we serve America. We think that
it is also, in the long run, the best
politics.

Torch Which Belonged to

"A torah originally presented to
Car Nicholas II of Russia by the
Bobruisk Jewish Community of
Beyelorussia a half-century ago,
was today formally presented to
Israel President Ben Xvi at a
ceremony in his office.
The Torah, one of the finest
and rareSt examples of the re-
hgiouS art of Russian Jewry, was
presented by w. N. Williams of
London who purchased it in 1880
when the Soviet authorities plac-
ed the TSar's art treasures on sale
in London. The Scroll is written
on the finest parchment, covered
with richly embroidered cloth
and kept in a small wooden ark
built especially for it.
Present during the ceremony
today, beside Mr.. Williams and
the President, were Chief Rabbi
Isaac Herzog, Minister of Religion
Moshe Shapiro, Rabbi Zeev Gold
of the Jewish Agency and other
leaders in Israers religious life.

Jewish Cemetery
Desecroted

FRANKFURT, (JTA)-The an
cient Jewish cemetery at Worms,
near Mainz, believed to be one OF
the two or three oldest Jewish
cemeteries in Europe to come
down through the last 1000 years
intact, has been desecrated by
vandals. A total of 1873 tomb
stones were smashed.
Although the attack was carri-
ed out a month ago Jewish auth
critics were not informed of it
until this week. Only two Jewish
families remain in Worms and
the cemetery is under the admin
istration of the Mainz community,
which has demanded police action
in the face of evident official in
difference. When Jews from
Mainz inspected the cemetery
they found that the Worms mu-
nicipal authorities had attempted
to hide the effects of the desecra-
ton by hurriedly propping up
some of the stones and removing
smashed pieces.
The municipality of Worms had
accepted responsibility for main
tenance and care of the cemetery,
in return for which the Jews had
agreed to lend the local museum
valuable ritual and art objects
dating back to the Middle Ages.
Among these was a chair used by
Rashi. the noted Biblical COM
mentator of the 18th century.
Rashi studied at a local yeshlva
in Worms.

ACTING SECRETARY OF
STATE PRESENTS GOVERN
MENT VIEWS

Acting Secretary of State
Walter Bedell Smith, told the
subcommittee that the State
Department had concluded that
the Arab refugee problem "is a
world problem which it is proper
for the United Nations to deal
with" Mr.. Smith told the sub
committee that the United States
should continue to support the
United Nations Relief and Works
Agency in its efforts to help the
Arab refugees. He said he thought
the United Nations did a good
Job under trying conditions. He
said he looked forward to con-
tinued support from Congress for
this program.
The Acting Secretary recon-
mended that termination dale for
the refugee care program be ex-
tended from June 80. 1854. to
June 80. 1856. A request was also
made for an overall increase of
$50.000.000 in the relief fund. The
settlement of this issue. he said,
would have a great effect on the.
progress of the Mutual Security
Agency and the solution of other
issues in the Near East.
Arthur z. Gardiner, political
and economic adviser of the Near
Eastern Division of the State
Department, told the subcom-
mittee that the reason for the re-
cent Arab Israel border disturb
ances was that the Arab refugees
could look across the border from
the Arab countries and see the
land which they had formerly
inhabited. Asked by the SUBJ
committee whether there were
Communists among the Arab re-
fugees, Mr.. Gardiner said that
there were Communists on both
sides" of the border.
