Sharett Asks
Cease Fire.

JERUSALEM (JTA)-Pre-
mier Moshe Sharett appealed
to General Zionist ministers
to cease fire" at a cabinet
meeting, at least for the next
few months, in order to pre-
vent disorganization of the
cabinets work. His appeal fol
lowed mutual accusations
about cabinet members Great
ing a prediction atmosphere
at public meetings.
Pointing out that the next
Knesset elections are still ten
months away, the premier
asked that the ministers re-
frain from making any public
statements that might under
mine the cabinets unity.

Israel Must
Face German
Problem

TEL AVN (JTA) - DR..
Walter Eytan, director-gener-
al of the Israeli foreign min
istry, told a public meeting
here last night that 1--WE can
not change the fact that Ger
many is becoming Europe's
biggest power" He declared
that "the question now is
whether Israel can disregard
this important German fac
tor" and warned that Jewish
personal feelings toward Ger
many cannot influence Is
rael's foreign policy
The need for solving the
question of German-Israel re-
lations was stressed here last
week by DR.. F. Shinnar and
Hillel Dan, Israeli reparations
experts, who pointed out that
a number of questions stem
ming from the reparations
agreement and bearing on re-
lations between the two coun-
tries must be resolved in the
near future.

here that the U.N. may be
ready to dig deeply, at last
into all the standing conflicts
between Israel and the Arab
countries. Wednesdays meet
ing was the 47th in one year
on the Israel-Arab issue.
A suggestion that the Sc
curity Council stop "burying
its head in the sand" on the
Israel-Arab issues was made
at the last meeting of the
Council, Oct. IA, by DR.. Fran
cisco Urrutia, chief of the Col
ombian delegation, currently
a member of the Council. Il
wonder" DR.. Urrutia said,
whether the time has not
come for the Security Coun-
Gil to consider the problem
fully" At that time the inn
mediate issue was Egypt'S
seizure, on Sept. %, of the Is
raeli freighter "Bat Calm" "
and the arrest of the BAT Ga
linn" captain and crew of nine
Jewish sailors, charging the
ship fired on two fishing YES
sells.
1t is well known investiga-
tors established facts showing
that the "Bat Calm" did not
attack any Egyptian boats or
cause the loss of any Egyptian
lives. Delegates know that the
"Bat Calm" carried only one
pistol-the gun belonging to
the vessels captain-and that
even that single pistol had not
been fired.
1t is high time, a number of
diplomats here feel with DR..
Urrutia, that full exploration
of the Israel-Arab issues is
needed. Some delegates are
hoping that Britain's efforts
to use its good offices" to re-
solve Arab-Israel confli cts
may produce some concrete
results. Others have a feeling
that Canada might act as
mediator between Israel and
the Arab countries.
Another possibility is that
Colombia, as a Latin Ameri-
can neutral in the Arab-ISrael
conflict, might be given the
job of trying to end the ten
sions in the Middle East.

General Assembly was in
formed.
The entire problem of Arab
refugees relief and rehabilita-
ton was before the General
Assembly in the report of
Henry Labouisse, director of
the Relief and Work Agency
for Palestine Refugees. The
agency, known as UNRWA,
cared for a total of $4,000
Arab refugees as of the end
of last June, according to Mr..
Labouisse. Of the total, 1885,
600 live in Jordan, over 212,-
600 in GAIA, more than 101, 900
in Lebanon, and about $4,000
in Syria.
There are undoubtedly"
he reported, numerous i'm
proper registrations" How
ever, he pointed out, neither
the refugees themselves nor
the Arab governments where
they live have been willing to
help the agency to clear the
rolls of persons not entitled
to rations or other assistance"
Past resolutions of the
General Assembly had ex-
pressed the hope that the Pal
estine refugee problem might
he solved, at the latest, by the
summer of 1854. But, accord
ing to Mr.. Labouisse, "the
achievement of such a result
in so short a period of time
was a practical impossibility"
in diplomatic language but
clearly and with force the
UNRWA director pointed the
finger at the Arab govern
ments and at the refugees
themselves for UNRWA's in
ability to solve the problem.
Absence of Solution
The Arab governments, he
stated, have mostly given to
the refugees inadequate"
physical resources, have as
signed to them agricultural
lands marginal at best-and
in some cases, unusable," !"
have refused to allow them to
get jobs on the ground that
~'their economies cannot at
present absorb any significant
number of people unexpect-
edly entering the labor mar
ket," and have refused "to ac-
cept administrative RESPONSE
bility for the relief program" "

This and That j..

Ladies who got earrings, handbags
or shoes for Christmas we're happy. for
these are womankind's favorites.
Every one of them likes handbags,
preferably black, so that they can poke
them into a gentleman's eyes on the
bus.
The return of the earring, a relic of
savagery, is one of the outstanding
facts of the last two yee.rs.
There have always beer ladies who
wore earrings. Of course, but only in
recent months have nine out of ten so
bedecked their aural appendages.
The big hoop rings big enough for
parakeetS to perch on, in gold, are
every woman's favorites.
Certainly it would be novel for
pet lover to appear with large hoop
earrings as much as 2 inches in diam
eter. with a parakeet perched in each.
On. may feel certain that the birds
would enjoy it.
The earring has long and honored
place in female adornmept. It began
with Adam and Eve, and has continued
ever since. with variations. At one
time they were held to be instruments
of the devil. and perhaps few strict
souls would think so still.
Only the other day some one sounded
of in print about adornments of wom-
ems dress which most persons find
harmless.
The trouble with the purists is that
they attribute motives to the ladies In
such things.

through the hazards of fighting with
the greatest division that America has

For this reason. we want the old

To Critics of Diesel Horn

Let's let the diesel locomotive blow
its own call to adventure" What do
you think Of when you hear the mourn
full wall Of a steam locomotive floating
through the lonely night? You picture
mighty fire-breathing demon pounding
its way over the high iron, belching
rich. black cmoke with every cough
from its stack. 1t Is picture of this
almost-living monster which is con-
jured UP in your imagination and not
that of the sleek, smooth lines Of a
purring diesel.
The steam locomotive put railroads
in their present-day position. and now,
as railroading enters upon a new era.
they are proud to yield the right of way
to the dieselS, knowing that for GEN.
tury they have done their job and done
it well. If this is what must be. at least
allow these glorious old veterans their
individuality and pay due respect to the
less romantic infants Of modern rail-
roading in giving them personality
all their own-for some day we shall
look back upon them as the spark of
twentieth-century railroading.
There will never be a machine as
inspirational as the steam locomotive
and its call. but to me the raucous blast
of diesel horn is equally meaningful
in its way and by no means objection

By Charles E. TroceweN

The truth Is that woman does not
have to have a motive to wear earrings.
or to adorn herself with slave brace
let.
She does it just because she wants
to; If there is any allure in the doing,
1t Is something that comes down
through the sex and the ages. She has
nothing to do with it. She is as inno-
cent as the spring lamb weating its
fine suit of white fleece complete with
lanolin.
Earrings have a long history. They
began in savage times, when toleration
and gentleness were not practiced by
the general public.
Despite humanity's many and evi-
dent. failures, we live in times when
there is the largest saturation of these
virtues in all history. We must not
forget this, when low spirits and IRA
tional happenings and men make us
tend to forget.
There were times, not more than
400 years ago. and in the best and most
civilized countries. wher a man could
have his hand cut off, or his tongue
pulled out. for writing something the
ruling powers did not like.
The earring Is sort oF symbol of
such days, but happily no such taint
attaches to it in most minds.
1t is just relic of long ago, when
human decoration had not progressed
far. But what will mankind think Of
today's human female decoration?
From past experiences, we all know
Evening star., 1954-01-14

that tomorrow's humanity will take one
look at the women's clothes and hats
OF today. and say: "HoM funny!"
Placidly the earring rides the tides
of time.
No doubt it looks today, on tomor-
rows belle. just as it looked hanging
from the ear of the Queen of Egypt in
$500 BIC.
So. ladies. if you want to look like
Queen Nefertiti, however it was spelled,
just attach pair of gold earrings, and
smile triumphantly.
You will be every inch a queen, we
hope. and have the satisfaction of
teaming up in a spiritual and even
physical way with Cleopatra and the
other charmerS of old.
The gypsy earring of the simple gold
hoop, the larger the BETTER is today's
favorite. but there are as many kinds
as there are metals and enamelS
Perhaps not enough attention has
been devoted to the plain silver rings.
One of Henry James startling heroines
wore ancient silver coins in her dark
hair and hanging from her pearly ears
Henry had an eye for tie ladies. and
decorated them according to his fancy,
which was. at times, pretty gay.
Not every woman can be James
heroine, but every one can approach
her easily enough. Just put on a pair
of earrings, and talk wisely and long.
Few women should have any difficulty
in following the latter hall Of this pre-
scription, at least. go.

Liquor on MiIitory Posts

must compliment Richard L. Field
man for his raw courage. His letter
titled Liquor Sales on Military Posts"
insults every officer and non-com who
wears the uniform Of his country. by his
sweeping classification Of them as CON
tainers of narcotic alcohol" and bunch
of alcoholics"
The original decision to permit liquor
to be sold on military posts was reached
after an exhaustive study of host Of
factors including the premise that men
in the service of the United States could
be considered as average adults. The
cancellation Of the directive was not
due to the belated realization that every
officer and non-com would be on q con-.
tinuouS binge: it was forced under pres
sure from the most bizarre alliance Of
lobbies imaginable-liquor dealers seek
ing more private business and temper
ance groups seeking less liquor.
Air Force Officer.
Mr.. Feldman stated: THE rigorS, dis
comforts and Illustrations of military
life are bad enough under the most IA
vorable circumstances, but that officers
and non n-commiSSioned officers should
issue orders and exert controls over en-
listed personnel while serving as con-
tainers for narcotic alcohol is an un-
necessary hardship cruel to contem-
plate"
It is obvious that Mr.. Feldman never
served in the armed forces Of the
United States. otherwise he would never
make such statement.
I'm only recruit. II years Of service,
during which period Of service have
yet to see an officer or a non-commis-
stoned officer exerting control over any
one while under the influence Of alco-
hol or in a state of intoxication. have
seen both officer and enlisted personnel
imbibe, and some can handle their
liquor and others cannot. This holds
true for civilian pursuits. too. It Is to
the advantage Of those few who cannot
handle liquor to be within the confines
of military base so they will be cared
for properly when they overindulge.
Mr.. Feldman should see some of the
officers and non-commissioned officers
he calls alcoholic containers" on the
battlefield.

Touqh Problems for the Assembly

Virginia's biennial General Assembly has
an accumulation of tough problems to solve in
its 60-day session at Richmond. Outgoing Gov
ernor Battle stressed few Of the outstanding
ones in his report on the state Of the Common
wealth. He has left to his successor, Governor
elect Stanley the particularly difficult task Of
solving major problem not emphasized in the
message This is the financial dilemma facing
Virginias pay-as-you-go highway program.
Governor Battles interest in better educa-
ton and in improved health and welfare facil-
tiles is given further expression in his final
accounting to the Legislature. With the States
school-construction emergency largely amelio-
rated through the special State-aid program
sponsored by the Governor at the previous ses-
sion, he now has pleaded for higher pay for
teachers. More funds for tuberculosis hospitals
and mental institutions also were urged-a plea
which will be understood by legislators who
recently toured many of the States rundown
facilities in this general field.
Perhaps the hardest nut to crack during the
too-short session, however, will be the highway
problem Before the Assembly will be two recent
reports giving a startling picture Of highway
needs of the immediate future and gloomy
outlook for financing them. Carrying great
weight with the Assembly will be 114-page

the highways are to be kept reasonably ade-
quate and safe. This would be over and above
the 81 billion-plus expected to be raised from
present sources, including the Scent gasoline
tax Said Highway Director Anderson UNLESS
this (extra) amount is made available, the
economic welfare and safety of the State will
be gravely retarded"
The other report bearing on highways Is
one prepared by consulting firm on the spe-
cial highway needs of that part OF Northern
Virginia within the Washington Metropolitan
Area In this report it was estimated that more
than 500 million in highway Improvements
would be needed in Arlington and Fairfax Coun-
ties in the-near future-all tied in with pro-
jected Potomac bridges The consultants sug-
gested that most of this work might be done by
the Federal Government-apparently wishful
thinking insofar as some Of the proposed roads
are concerned. -.
Summed up, Virginia's pay -aS-you-go road
program, remarkably successful as it has been
in providing the State with an up-to-date net
work of primary and secondary highways, is at
its own crossroads. Either new sources Of rev.
enue must be found soon or the States good
reputation as a highway builder will suffer. The
Assembly is looking to incoming Governor STAN
ley for guidance in this crisis.

First Division Objective

The Star is glad to print the letter from
Major Charles Coulter, retired, again calling
attention to the obscene dissertation of the 1st
Division Monument by the latrine-type tempo
rary building in rear of the old State, War and
Navy Building
Perhaps it was planned that way. Perhaps
the unwilling landscape architects and others
who put the building where it is-snack up
against the monument-did so with knowledge
that the magnitude of the offense would hasten
the time Of its removal. It is not working out
that way The building will remain there for
generations, ridiculing the sentiment Of the
