learned of the fate of another young
concentration camp inmate, one
who did not die but who escaped
and lived to continue her writing.
She was Ilona Karmel, a Polish
Jewish girl who, like Anne Frank,
was in her teens when Nazism
spread over Europe. She spent two
years wandering across Poland,
hiding from the Nazis, and the
next three years in concentration
camps. But she managed to sur
vive, and after two years of re-
cuperation in Stockholm, she came
to America.
Here she studied at Hunter and
Radcliffe Colleges, and while taking
a course with Archibald MacLeish
she began to write a novel. 1t was,
in sense, her own story; but her
imagination and her artistry gave
it universal meaning.
"Stephania" appeared last spring.
to the greatest critical acclaim.
Both the story and the manner of
its telling won praise. Miss Kar-
mel depicted one year in the lives
of three women in Room Five of
the Stockholm Hospital for the
Handicapped. There was Thura, a
teen-aged girl paralyzed by polio;
Froken Nilsson, a middle-aged wo-
man with a fractured leg and too
much fat; and 21-year-old Step
hania, with a beautiful face and a
terrible hump between her should
erS.
Stephania came to the hospital
full of bitterness for her past (she,
like Miss Karmel, suffered at the
hands of the Nazis) and a passion
ate hope for her future: Despite
the negative reports of all the
doctors she had seen, she was de-
termined to be rid of the hump
which had grown on her back
during the hideous war years.
Her story and that of her fellow
patients could have turned into a
very dull or very morbid tale. But
under Miss Kernels skillful hand
ling it emerges as a dramatic and
powerful piece of writing which

What she said must have opened
the eyes of many who have been
far removed in spirit from positive
Jewish living and far removed in
time from the pioneering efforts
of Rabbi Wise. If he were alive,
she declared, her father would ap-
prove heartily the trend toward
greater Jewish Identification and
more intensive Hebrew education!
This is no news to anyone who
has studied DR.. Wise's writings,
but it bears repeating today, al
most 100 years later, when a truly

NEW YORK W--In business the
big tend to get bigger. And the
postwar boom has stimulated sales
volume to the point where more
than 100 companies now do better
than . millions ollar-a-day bust
ness.
The goods and services they pro-
duce touch almost everyone's Life.
Among them they have millions
Of employees and millions Of share
hOlders. Still other millions sup
ply them with raw materials and
parts and machinery. Tax eollec-
tors look to them for the biggest
tax checks.
A list Of the 100 largest corpor-
atoms In point Of sales and reve-
nues in 1852 is compiled by the
National City Bank Of New York.
The 100 companies in the
fields Of manufacturing, trade,
transportation and public utilities
took in q total Of lO2 billion dol
lars Of your money last year.
But they paid 1t all out again
one way or another and borrowed
IA billion dollars more. Their cur
rent and lOng-term indebtedness
went up by that amount, the bank
says, for requirements and i'm
pruyements and expansion ito

160 million people, growing at the
rate Of two million annually"
Where else did that 1O2 billion
dollars 60? About STA billion, S.
per cent Of 1t, went to other COM
panies who supplied the 100 big
gest with goods and services. To
their own employees the 100 paid
nearly "a billion in wages, salaries
and fringe benefits, or "a per cent
of the total. More than 1914 billion
dollars, or around l0Ia per cent,
went to federal, state, local and
foreign tax collectors. Reserves
for depreciation took three billion
dollars, or 3 per cent, and interest
payments one half billion dollars.
That left net income Of more
than 5la billion dollars, or SIS per
cent of gross revenues. They re-
invested almost 2is billion dollars
In their businesses and passed out
nearly 3M billion in dividends to
stockholders.
The 1Ora billion dollar tax figure
doesn't tell all the story, the bank
says, because it's hard to estimate
how much additional the compa-
mics collected and passed along -
sales taxes, and excise taxes and
the like.

He drank his anisette and
wished he hadn't. II was stronger
than any he'd ever tasted. II made
his head feel Like a piece OF bub-
BILE gum.
AHANDELL looked at Mr.. Eb-

music. Mandell felt sorry for the
old man. Mr.. Ebbling didn't look
well. His eyes were too bright.
He looked feyerish. From time to
time he compressed his lips, as Il
he were in pain.
Ebbling saw Mandel1 looking
at him and said, Gale tells me
that Inspector Carlton and Lieu
tenant Rose were here this after
noon, Bernard"
That's right, sir"
Mandell reached for the ciga-
rette he'd lighted. And suddenly
he wasn't positive of anything.
The whole black mental moraSS
was back again.
Mr.. Ebbling had offered him a
cigar. Mandell remembered dis
tinctly, or thought he remem-
bered, refusing it. He'd said he'd
stick to cigarettes. Yet the one he
thought he'd been smoking had
turned into a lighted cigar. Man.
dell picked up the cigar gingerly
and looked at il.
Something was awfully scram-
bled. Mandell continued to look
at the cigar.
"Somthing wrong with il, Ber-
nard?" Mr.. Ebbling asked. mot

NO" Mandell lied. 'Its fine."
He put the cigar in his mouth.
Gale beamed her approval. Il
like you in cigar. honey. You
look so masculine.
Mandell looked at her CRATE
fully. He slipped his coffee and it
set up a distant ringing in his
ears, a strident bell superimposed
on the music that drowned out
all attempts to think.
Gale wiped at his face with her
handkerchief. Darling. II must

IF recognizing native ability and giving it an opportunity

Of recognizing native ability and giving it an opportunity.
HARDWOOD WAS a Judge, knew his way around Wash
ington, and while his battles with the legislatures were almost
constant, he made sure that the greatest public works program
was provided for, the fruits Of which we are still enjoying.
GOVERNOR HASTE set a precedent and a pattern.
Brilliant, skilled, far-sighted and with the highest ideals, he
set about to correct some of the abuses, and succeeded in
leaving his imprint upon the science Of government in these
Islands. Many reforms and improved programs came during
his administration. and the tourist trade received its great
est impetus, to say nothing Of the tremendous publicity which
came to the Islands because an outstanding public servant
was in the Governors seat.
GOVERNOR DE- CASTRO has been the most consist
'ent public servant in these parts, and he brought to the posi-
ton a first-hand know-how which would be difficult for any
other to match. He is also the first native to ascend to the
position.
LET S O be mistaken. Each of these governors had
his headaches, their brushes with the Legislatures, and in
many instances the cry for his scalp was clear and distinct.
But each one came to the position bringing more than q mere
friendship to either a Senator or a President.
WE BELIEVE that there are natives who are qualified,
and to say otherwise would be to play blind to q glazing fact.
But if a native is not appointed, then, for heavens sake, let
IS have a man whose only concern is not with using the
Government House as a winter home for himself and his
friends.

WANTED: A PUBLIC SERVANT
EACH WEEK BRINGS more names to the al

EACH WEEK BRINGS more names to the already over
burdened list Of candidates for the position Of Governor Of
the Virgin Islands. The list is now over IS, as all types Of
candidates elbow their way into the crowd for a favored
position.
IT is THAT many Of the IS do not even
expect to be considered seriously, but it affords an excellent
opportunity to have their names come before the President
elect and serves a purpose in other ways. No doubt each
candidate has his hackers both on and offothe Republican
National Committee, and the more frequent a name comes
up the greater the chances that it will receive some conSidera
ton.
AMONG II candidates are those who do not even
know the Virgin Islands, or perhaps care less. To them it
would be nice to be Governor, to enjoy whatever goes with
the position, and perhaps use it as a Springboard tor bigger
and better things. Or if the candidate is getting ready to re-
tire, then what could be better than coming down as chief
executive, to bask in the sunshine and warmth of these troPic
islands while at the same time keeping occupied, partially
at least, with government affairs,
WE RESENT THE use Of the position as a political bar
gaining point for office seekers. The welfare and ideals OF
these people Of these Islands should be the first and prime
consideration, and those who would lead should have a sense
of dedication to the high ideals which the office demands.
H FIVE CIVILIAN governors have set a sort Of pat
tern for what should come. DR.. Pearson, a Quaker gentleman
Of the first order, looked upon his position as a calling, and
dedicated himself to doing all he could. And upon his death
his last tribute was the ~sprinklng of his ashes in the waters OF
the Caribbean. AS a politician he might have lacked the
shrewdness and inclination to e~xpediency Characteristic Of
straight politics, but he was honest, and the culture and vel
fare Of the people Of these Islands were uppermost in his mind
always.
