SHAWNEE, Okla, R-A group of canine residents of Shawnee have solved the problem of how to escape the 100-degree weather.
 Poundmaster Troy Clay says the pups have been crawling into the city's storm sewers where they open into creek beds at the edge of the city. Clay said hu mane society member called ask ing him to pick the dogs up, but decided the pups were smarter than humans.
 "They just want cool place to sleep on these hot days" he said. Besides, there are enough dogs on top of the ground without me going underground to uick them up."

 TRANSPORT PLANE IN STORM

FIT. DIX, NJ, RAA military transport plane apparently caught in freakish air currents moments after takeoff, crashed in remote, storm-lashed forest Friday, kill ing AS persons.
 The 2l others aboard were in- jured. Five were in critical con- dition. Five women and two chil- dren were among the dead. The plane went down in storm of rain, hail, and lightning.
 Survivors spoke falteringly of sudden, violent downdrafts that shook the plane seconds after it left Mcclure Air Force Base, ad- jacent to this huge Ft. Dix mili- tary reservation.
 The plane rocketed to earth in an isolated, swampy woods, broke into fragments, and ripped 300- yard swath through the trees.
 Everything happened so quick, " said Airman Albert J. Buck, of Philadelphia, who was knocked unconscious when the plane nit.

Alaska RR Employe Wins Tall Tale Contest
tJessen's Weekly)

George J. Gale, dispatcher for the Alaska Railroad at Fairbanks, is the winner of the Eielson AFB Tall Tale Contest which high lighted the Eielson carnival re- gently.
 The contest is open for entries for next year and these may be sent to Alaska Tall Tale Contest, Office of Information Services, 5010th Air Base Wing, APO 937, Seattle.
 Here is Gales tall tale: t
 Private Second Class Siebert was known to the military by the nickname of Ozark" for he hailed from the Ozark Mountains of Missouri and was the only man who understood livestock in the outfit. Ozark was detailed to car ry the mail between Fairbanks and Nome during the early days and he drove one of the fastest reindeers in all Alaska, whom he called Rambler.
 "One bright night in January, Ozark was on the run across Nor ton Sound heading toward Nome, while the great northern lights were swaying and sweeping across the frosty sky and casting eerie shadows upon the cold, frozen trail. Then far to the west a pack of fierce Siberian wolves set up a most savage bowling. This caused Rambler to redouole his efforts, but Ozark was un- afraid, for he had eight cartridges in his 30-30 Winchester carbine.
 But the wolf pack took up the trail and began gaining on them. The fierce wolves came nearer and nearer, and Ozark shot and killed one of them, but before that animal even hit the frozen trail, he was snapped up and eat en by the others.
 Then Ozark began shooting wolves in earnest, but after using his eight cartridges and killing eight wolves there was one giant wolf left, for, literally, he had eaten eight wolves and had grown accordingly.
 This giant wolf was snarling and snapping as he came upon the reindeer sled, and Ozark in utter fear of his life tucked un- der the mail sacks, hoping it would give him some protection.
 "This it did, for the great wolf leaped right over him and ate poor old Rambler up so fast that he had eaten himself right into the reindeer's harness. Ozark drove the wolf into Nome that night"

men through midtown, up and
downtown New York looking for
these. One by one. it found
former choral voices with DR..
Callan training. Some Of them
went back as long as World
War II, or even before. and most
of them have come a long way
in acting and directing since
their voices made both music
and sense in Greek plays.
And some. of course, were
much later models.
All rounded up at last, they
turned out to be a chorus that
will include j. Robert Dietz,
Hank Sutton, Gene Picciani,
Tony Messuri, Patricia Barnett.

Since Harry Macarthur will

SOLDERING thought this was in the

ing to conclusion that all I'M

sumed to thrown away today.
A few of the to-be-used ones
refer to Joe Shea, a rudy cheer
full Irish type who is press agent
for 1.-THE Boy Friend" due for a
Shubert visit of two weeks start
ing January 7.
Mr.. Shea has a story about
a snake-charmer he met in India
during World War II when he
was practicing psychological
warfare. Snake charmers al
most never turn up in occidental
drama columns so, just for the
novelty Of it. we'll quote Mr..
Shea:
There was this guy in a loin-
CLOTH" he says, land he was
prepared to put on a mongoose-
cobra match for us if we made it
worth his while. And worth the
price Of a new cobra since the
mongoose always wins these
things.
"A pretty naughty snake
lcharmer this one turned out to
be. We tossed him coins but of

a size that merely made him
scoff. He kept his cobra in its
basket and his mongoose on its
leash. More coins, still small,
follwed and more SCOTS from
the snake man.
Finally. some soldier. Cana
dian or British, tossed out a
rupee note. Well. the guy leaned
over to read its denomination.
AS he did so, he relaxed the
mongoose's leash. The mon
goose, tired of all the pickering
reached over, grabbed the cobra
by the back of the skull and
killed it in a flash.
Nov, the snake-charmer was
in frenzy; no money, no cobra.
and no, love for foreigners. His
indignant screams brought a po-
|liceman who finally simmered the
snake man down enough to find
out what he wanted. Turned out
what he wanted was So for a new
cobra. the first and last quoted
price I ever heard on cobras.
ITO finish the story, he didn't
get it,"

Testimonial
Benefits UJA

Nearly $1,O00,0OO in contributions
to the 1856 United Jewish Appeal
campaign were made by $50 guests
at a New York dinner honoring
Judge Jonah J. Goldstein on his
77th birthday. The American ORT
Federation sponsored the dinner.
Eddie Cantor, famed entertainer,
was among the prominent person
alitieS who joined in paying tribute
to the judge for a lifetime of Serv-
ice on the bench and in great
variety of civic and philanthropic
endeavorS.
One of the tributes was a minia-
ture tapestry into which had been
woven the emblem of the state of
Israel, produced by Iraqi immi-
grants in training at an ORT voca-
tional school in Tel Aviv.
DR.. William Haber, ORT presi-
dent, told the meeting that "ORT
is deeply committed in the critical
North Africa area to the economic
rehabilitation of these under-devel-
oped Jewish communities. ORT is
doing Point Four job there. At
the same time, we are training
those who plan to emigrate in

TEL AVN (JTA) - Fund raising
abroad has brought Israel 81 bill
lion in the eight years of it's exist
ence, the Jewish Agency reported.
The Phoenix Jewish news., 1956-05-25

Naturally, Israel is devoting every
possible pruta to defense. Ordinary
expenditures, even for some social
services, have been Slashed. The
government is scraping the bottom
of its financial barrel not only for
arms, but also to find the millions
Of dollars to pay for food, fuel, and
other materials which must be
stockpiled in case the worst hap
pens and Israel's sea lanes are cut
by the Egyptian navy.
THE PEOPLE of Israel are able
to attempt the absorption of a new
stream of immigration, while 81
multaneously launching a crash
program of defense, only because
they have confidence that world
JeWry will accept an even greater
portion of the immigrant burden
than hitherto. The government,
which formerly built immigrant
housing with the help of the Jew
ish Agency, has had to turn that
entire task over to the latter body.
The agency, whose funds come
mainly from Americas United
Jewish Appeal, has had to add 13
per cent of its budget to handle its
Increased housing program.
Despite the crisis conditions and
the heavy drain of manpower and
funds which they compel, the alb
sorption of immigrants is proceed
ing in an orderly, planned way.
Month in and month out, the Jew
ish Agency ship-to-settlement pro-
gram goes on smoothly, funnelling
the newcomers directly from Haifa
port to new villages, where work
awaits the breadWinners and
homes and schooling await their
children.
THE AGENCY, which has added
some 400 new settlements to the
map of Israel since statehood, is
now adding new towns. Dimona,
Kiriat Cat, Ofakim, Sderot-these
and other names, each indicating a
town in the building, did not exist
a year ago.

and Saudi Arabian commercial
and diplomatic circles here are
circularizing Swiss business firms
in a move to extend throughout
Europe the Arab boycott of firms
dealing with Israel and those in
which Jews have proprietary inter-
ests, it was reported here.
The Arabs have been sending
Swiss concerns QUESTIONABLE
seeking to determine the extent of
their trade with Israel and the ex-
tent of Jewish interest in them,
with view to denying firms which
sell to Israel any Arab trade. The
campaign is believed to emanate
from the newly established perm
anent Egyptian delegation to Eur
opean headquarters here of the
United Nations. A Saudi Arabian
delegation is expected here to con-
fer with the Egyptians on the pro-
gresS of the boycott extension.

following six months some $4,000
newcomers entered the country
and thousands more are on the
way. A total of 10000 additional
newcomers, mostly from riot-torn
North Africa, are expected before
Rosh HaShanah.
Other countries have in their
day faced the problem of guns or
butter. None has ever before faced
the agonizing problem of guns or
immigration. And few nations
would be willing to gamble their
future on a policy of guns and
immigration. The ISraelis, faced
with the steadily deteriorating Sit
uation in North Africa, decided
there was no alternative but to
keep the doors open.
