matter, Egypt entered a complaint
of her own: The Bat Calm had
fired upon an Egyptian fishing boat
and killed two fishermen.
United Nations observers inveSti-
gated and found that:
L. The Bat Calm carried no
ammunition of any kind except
the captains revolver.
2. The bodies of the alleged
victims of the assault were never
found.
8. None of the fishermen could
give the number of the boat in
voIved, nor could any identify the
Bat Calm as the origin of any
shooting.
4. None of the fishermen knew
the two who were supposed to
have disappeared.
S. Egyptian authorities had no
information as to the dOmicile or
origin of the victims, and ex-
planned that it was difficult to
find their relatives.
No wonder, then, that Egypt'S ac-
cusation was received, as Israel
Ambassador said, with universal
scepticism." And, as he further
pointed out, the fact that she
stopped to international perjury
to justify her seizure of the ship

aware she had no legal right tC

But her complaint, though obgi-

rael'S more serious charge.
Then an interesting thing hap
pened. The Egyptian representative

this way to keep Israel's charg'

meanwhile, the Bat Calm and it
crew remained interned.

but it points up, too, the place
which books and learning Shoulo
take in our lives.
Study was important to the Jews
in the East European ghettos, but
if is no less so to us, who in our
land of liberty need to achieve the
inner freedom born Of self-under-
standing.
Jewish books in our homes be-
come important because in our busy
lives we must have our sources OF
information ready at hand. 1t Is
important, too, that we surround
our children, from their birth, with
the tools for knowledge.
Chanukah, strategically jus
around the corner from Jewish
Book Month, provides the oppor-
tunity. Whatever We spend for our
gifts, large and small, will be best
spent on books.
Planning ahead, with the remain
der of Jewish Book Month to guide

Elementary P. T. A.

A very active year for the Ele-
mentary P. T. A. has been carried
out by President Wilson Goodrich
and an able staff of officers. A
monthly prize of S5 is given the
room having the largest parent at
tendance at the P. T. A. meeting.
This has been instrumental in hav-
ing the meetings very we'll attend
ed, coupled with the fact that the
Program Committee has had a very
interesting program planned for
each month. The Milford Elemen-
tary P. T. A. has also given each
home room $40 to be used by the
children for room improvement or
small playground equipment. Early
in the year it was voted to give the
Band S120 to cover two new Band
uniforms. Each year a substantial
sum is given the school library
to use for new books and litera-
ture. Last year a very substantial
sum was given toward the large
playground equipment used by the
smaller children. This ambitious
program has been well carried out
and will be brought to a close with
Bake on Saturday in the Amber
Shoe Store next to the APP Store.
This is an annual event and always
features large variety of food
and baked goods. The Membership
Committee has reported an increase

Another highlight of the meeting
was the announcement by c. Ed
ward Duffy of Carrcroft, chairman
of the Brandywine Hundred Repub-
lican Committee, that he will not
under any circumstances be a can
didate for attorney general.
Mr.. Duffy said that time was
short and that all of the activity
must be directed at winning and
not at dividing. He said he would
support the candidates who are
nominated at the state convention.
This appeared to leave the way
clear for Chief Deputy Atty.-Gen.
Vincent A. Theisen, who. it is
known, is receptive to the chal-
lenge.
Mr.. Duffy remarked that he had
seen his name mentioned as a can
didate several times, and he added
that he wanted this opportunity to
emphasize that he is and will not
be candidate.

ced that Mr.. Duffy had accepted the
post of secretary to the state COM

by U. S. Rep. Herbert B. WarburtOn
because the Congressman wants to
be able to devote all of his time

his Congressional duties and his

Mr.. Killoran also said that he

International Latex is a leading
manufacturer Of girdles, infants

Sales volume. according to the
company, increased from less than
$4,000,000 in 1916 to more than $780,
100000 in 1853 Net working capital
increased from less than 100000 in
1916 to more than $11 100000 at the
present time.
The purchase of International
Latex was the first move by Stan
ley Warner outside the entertain
ment field. The corporation is cur
rently one of the nations major
theatre owners.
A Stanley Warner spokesman was
quoted in the Wall Street Journal
as saying that the diversificatiOn
was permitted by the cOmpany's
stockholders last January when they
approved an amendment to the
charter. Earlier this year the firm
moved into television by buying an
interest in a Schenectady, N. Y.
TV station.
Stanley Warner operates some 300
motion picture theatres, and con-
trolls the CineFama process.
Financing of the International
Latex purchase was made by a six
year term loan from group of six
banks, headed by the First National
of Boston. This established a
$50, 100000 credit, of which the $15,-
100000 was borrowed with interest
payable at the rate of three and
three quarters per cent year.

largest producer of girdles, which it
markets under the "Playtex" label.
The company has a S4,000,000 ex-
pansiOn program underway, to pro-
vide more facilities for its current
