HARBoR POLLUTION

/. The open sewer at the Chamber of Commerce office IS
a main source of pollution. We are advised by Public
Works that a sewer line exists in front of this row of
buildings, and will be connected to the houses when
money is available.
2. The small slaughter house at the cattle dip is respon-
sible, for the presence in the harbor waters not only OF
parts Of animals, but sometimes of entire animals.
It is recommended that the interested parties select a
new site for this activity. While it is possible to forbid
the dumping of any refuse from the slaughter house in
to the harbor, it is thought that such a regulation would
be very difficult to enforce. The only safe way is to-
move it.
8. Dumping from vessels is controlled by law, which. must
be enforced by the Police. AS there is no law against
dumping from the shore, it is recommended that a law
be proposed to control all dumping into the harbor.

Georgetown University Hos
pital. The board members wear
pink uniforms and are called
Pink Ladies. Today there are
100 active members. rs who
volunteer regularly for duty,
and Is who work occasionally.
AS a Red Cross Gray Lady,
Mrs. Leahy travels from her
home at 1925 Garfield street

day afternoon.
AS a Pink Lady. the ardent

cines She told of the demon-N
stration of DR.. Charles A.
Hufnagel's plastic valve for
damaged hearts and of the
effect it had on the board last
year.
1--WE all felt we should do
something. We wanted TO
help the doctor continue his
experiments. Finally we de.
cided to establish a cardiac
diagnostic laboratory" she
said.
Borrowed $4,000
The laboratory now has an
apparatus by which a drop Of
dye, injected into the blood
stream, may be watched dur
ing its entire course through
out the system. Another
machine, manipulated from a
trolley track on the ceiling,
enables the doctor to measure
oxygen. Since it can travel
any place over the ceiling. it
can be placed over a patient
in any position.

as we can.
'The more money we can
make on our spring festival
this year." she said, "the more
we can pay on our loan and
the more specialized equip
ment we can buy"
Mrs. Leahy is honorary
chairman OF the festival, a
benefit concordance to be
held in McDonough Gym
nasium on Friday evening,
April %. There will be singing
by both the Georgetown Glee
Club and the Nurses Glee

Over $1,000 was cleared
from the festival last year, and
the board hopes to double that
amount this year.
The Pink Ladies have many
other money-making projects.
such as their gift shop and
their shop on wheels, which
they roll into the rooms and
wards of the hospital.
They also have a memorial
fund to which anyone may
contribute whatever he wishes.
Names of loved ones who have
died may be placed on the
memorial roll and they will
be remembered at mass each
month. The board makes no
distinction as to religion.
Mrs. Leahy is an Episcopa-
liam and works for the Rec.
tors Aid Society of st. Adams
Church.
Interest Inherited
Miriam Leahy, who grew UP
on Capitol Hill, has inherited
her interest in hospitals and
other civic enterprises from
her parents, the late DR.. and
Mrs. Thomas B. Kramer.
Mother was a great one
for getting into church and
civic affairs" recalled Mrs.
Leahy. II used to drive her to
the Washington Club, and she
would always say I should
come in, too. Finally, I joined
the club and was treasurer at
the exciting time of moving
from x street to is Dupont
circle"
Mrs. Leahy's association with
the Red Cross started before
World War II when she and
Mr.. Leahy were at Rehoboth
Beach, in 1889, listening to
q radio broadcast about the
Germans entering Poland. Mrs.
Leahy decided then that as
soon as she returned to Wash

EGYPT ASSAILS
WEST, WANTS
ISRAEL JUNKED

LONDON, (JTA) = The United
States, Britain and France were
bitterly attacked last week in a
broadcast from Cairo which indi-
Gated that the Washington policy
of appeasing the Arab countries at
the expense of Israel is failing to
appease Egypt.
The broadcast said that the
Arabs do not expect the forthcom-
ing meeting of the Big Three For
eign Ministers at Paris to settle
the problems between the Arab
countries and Israel.
"As the creators of Israel, they
cannot remove it from existence =
the only settlement satisfactory to
the Arabs" the broadcast stated.
'"The settlement of the refugee,
Arab-Israel frontier and Jordan
water questions cannot possibly be-
come the basis of any relationship
between the Arabs and Israel for
the simple reason which is closely
connected with Israel herself and
her ambitions"
The Egyptian radio reported that
the results of the Bandung confer
ence include Slams suspension of
diplomatic representation with Is
rael and expansion of Arab econ
omic cooperation with Asian coun-
tries.

DEFINITION OF
A SLICK CHICK

There was this big five-gallOn
jar of olives, see. And the idea
was that everybody at the May
Fair should guess how many
olives were in the jar. And the
guesser that guessed the closest
won a prize.
So along comes a little girl to
make her guess, and she gueSses
3,O97 olives. And she was the
winner. In fact, she guessed the
EXACT number of olives in the
jar-3,O97.
So they asked her, "HOw
come you guessed the exact
number?" And so she explained,
"Well, that same jar of olives
was out at my school a week
ago, and we had a contest to
guess how many olives were in
it. And 1 just remembered how
many there were."

Considerably surprising every

people and netted its sponsors
the Center and the Council of Jew

Holding forth in the gymnasium,
the council women sold 1900 din
ners through the afternoon and
evening. And the members of the
Beth El Mems Club, who created
and manned % skill-and-chance
booths on the Midway, gave out
10000 "Fairbucks" to losers, who
then redeemed them for hundreds
of items of merchandise.

The report was presented by
Rabbi Reuben M. Katz of Free
port, Long Island, who expressed
the continuing concern of the rab-
bis who deal with daily problems
of congregants.
"Our family service agencies,
like those serving other religious
groups, are overburdened with tre-
mendous case loads and never
ending waiting lists. To counteract
these disturbing trends, we need
positive action to keep the ideals
of Jewish family life alive and ap-
parent to our people," said Rabbi
KatZ.
Ike Applauded
The Assembly closed it's conven-
ton with a resolution lauding
President Eisenhower for the 're-
Straining influence he has exer-
cised upon those who would solve
the present international impasse
by a resort to arms" At the same
time, the convention expressed
deep concern" over the United
States policy toward Israel.
I'VE deplore the virtual political
and economic isolation into which
the only democracy in the Middle
East has been thrust" the resolu-
ton said. "The continuing boycott
by the Arab nations and their re-
peated threats of renewed war
against Israel are clear indications
that Israel stands in imminent
danger of being dragged into an
unwanted war"

New Look in U.S.. Policy
Only ii7ll RAQ TO GET ARMS
New Look in U.S.. Policy
No Guns For
IsraeIis Nor
O+her Arabs

WASHINGTON, (JTA)-
The disclosure that Iraq is
to, be the only Arab state
that will receive arms from
the United States under the
new Mutual Security pro-
gram was received here this
week with mixed reaction.
Under the new program,
the administration does not
plan to grant free arms to
Israel or to any neighboring
Arab states except Iraq.
This decision is being interpreted
as key development in the re-
appraisal of Middle Eastern policy
which was promised by the admin
istration last December. In some
circumstances it is believed that
the administration decided to limit
the arms program because of the
unfavorable reaction which arose
on all sides. There was a luke
warm reception in neighboring
Arab countries and strong opposi-
ton in Israel. Widespread congress
sional concern developed on the
advisability of putting arms into
the Near East in advance of an
Arab-Israel settlement.
Iraq Threats Noted
Qn New York, Jewish circles
concerned with Israel affairs de-
scribe as gratifying the statement
by Congressman Alvin M. Bentley,
Republican member of the House
foreign affairs committee, that the
administration will not extend
arms aid to Arab states bordering
on Israel. Jewish leaders expressed
the view, however, that arms to
IraQ, although she does not border
on Israel, is still unwise, especially
in view of her consistently trucul-
ent attitude and repeated threats)
The administration is trying to
justify singing out Iraq for arms
because of its oil resources and its
strategic location, because of its
new alliances with both Paldstan
and Turkey, and because Iraq's
frontier is not contiguous with Is
rael. Since appropriations for spe-
cific countries are not earmarked
in the legislation, it is highly doubt
full that there would be any con-
gressional drive to eliminate the
authorization for this purpose.
Upset Balance Seen
On the other hand, critics of the
administration policy point out that
the program offers no certain
guarantee that the military bal
ance will not be upset. Iraq is in
position to receive arms not only
from the United States but from
the United Kingdom, which has ad-
hered to the TurkiSh-Iraqi treaty.
Lraq could transmit some of it's
arms to other Arab countries.
In addition, the United Kingdom
has long-standing agreement to
provide arms to Jordan. This prob
lem will not be adequately met, it
is believed, until there is a change
in the attitude of the Arab states
towards Israel or until Israel is
enabled to enter into some kind of
defense arrangement with the US.
