will drop a half cent a gallon
tomorrow at eight Washington
area service stations operated
by the American Oil Co. Other
area stations are expected to
cut prices in varying amounts.

a-gallon cut in the wholesale
gas price today by ESQ STAN
dard Oil Co. Amoco announced
1t also would reduce its whole
sale rate the same amount eff
fective tomorrow.
An ESQ spokesman said the
two District service stations
operated by his firm will also
cut the retail price 0.3 cent a
gallon, but said he could not
predict whether the 300 dealers
who buy ESQ gas would do
likewise.
The new price at the Amoco
operated is 81 cents a gallow
for the regular grade and SO
cents for the premium grade.
Horace Walker of the Retail
Gas Dealers Association noted

Liquor Permit
Charges
$500 Offer

A witness today told the AL
coholic Beverage Control Board
he wa Suffered the possibility
of $4,000 if he would stop OBJ
jecting to the granting of a
liquor license and circulating
petitions against it.
This statement was made by
Bernard P. Nelson of 4424 Hunt
place NE, chairman of the
Alcoholic Committee of the
Deanwood Civic Association.
He declared a northeast civic
leader said money would be Of
fered him. But Mr.. Nelson as
serted he was not going to have
anything to do with that,
He asked me to name my
price and as joke I said $4,000
and I was told I could get it.
But never took any money!
MBr. Nelson said.
3-Year Space Asked
Mr.. Nelson said tn associa-
ton had written the District
Commissioners asking for a
three year breathing space
from liquor applications on
Sheriff road.
Involved in today's hearing
is an application, filed by the
Sheriff Liquors, Inc, of which
the president is Morris Silver
man, who has liquor store at
500 Seventh street S.W. The
corporation wants to move to
4721 Sheriff road NE.
Mr.. Nelson told the board
the people oppose the applica-
ton, the area is against it
and his associates unanimously |
voted to protest the liquor |
store.
Attorney j. FRANKLIN Bourne,
representing Sheriff Liquors,
brought out on cross-examin-
ing Mr.. Nelson that no offers
of money or anything else were
ever made to the witness by
the corporation to halt the
protest or stop circulating
petitions against it.
Mr.. Nelson said that some
thing had been discussed about
Mr.. Silverman giving a build
ing to the community if the
liquor license were granted.
Mr.. Bourne developed that he
had made it clear that the
corporation was limited to the
liquor business and the lawyer
could not commit his client to
any building or anything else
along this line.
Limited by Charter
Mr.. Bourne said he told the
associations executive commit.
tee that the corporation was
limited by it's charter, so it
could not give a community
center of boys club.
Opponents of the liquor Ii
cense got in their innings to-
day.
Mrs. Ann E. Speight of 1920
Marine place NE. a school
crossing officer for the Metro
politan Police Department, OPP
posed granting the application.
She said she did not think it
would be a proper thing. She
said at Sheriff road and Whit
tingham place NE, two blocks
from the proposed liquor store,
there are $40 students at. Car
vel-Kenilworth School. She
said she had been threatened
by DRINKS while on duty and
had to call Number IA precinct
police to make arrests.
Allen M. Avery of 4915 Just
street NE, chairman of the
committee on education and
second vice president of the
Northeast Boundary Civic
Association, also objected to
granting the license. He pre-
sented a letter from President
Henry L. Dixon, which pointed

Germony's Greatest
Friend Of The Jews
BY SAM MILLER

The presiding bishop of the Protestant Church in
North Baden, Prelate Hermann Mass, marked his
eightieth birthday amid hundreds of congratulatory
messages and good Wishes flowers and books sent
from Israel to this university city, in token of friend
ship and admiration for the lifelong Zionist who saved
many Jewish children during the Nazi regime and is
regarded as "Germanys warmes friend of the Jewish
people"
Mass is descended from a long line of Christian
clergymen on his fathers as well as his mothers
side and followed in the footsteps of these forebears
by studying theology.
At the turn of the century, he ordained
minister Finding himself at Basle in 1903 he dropped
in to watch the Zionist Congress, which was then In
the throes of the Uganda crisis. Fascinated by Theo-
dor Herz and captivated by the proceedings he then
and there became a Chovev-Zion, clover of Zion"
ALTHOUGH HE himself was harassed by the
Nazis in many ways, could deter him from con-
solng Jews and strainng every effort to aid them.
His special field was the emigration of non-Aryan
children and he labored ndefatgaby to make 1t pos
sible for them to be sent to Switzerland and England
where he enlisted the support of personalities SUCH as
Bishop Bell of Chichester their behalf Eventually
he was compelled to retire from the ministry Inc
Gestapo thereupon sent him to forced labor camp
and at the age of g. put him to digging fortficaton
bitches.
The era following the collapse of the Nazi regime
brought him many distinctions In earlier years the
ecclesiastical hierarchy had viewed him with some
misgvings and he remained assigned to the same Hell
delberg parish for more than quarter century, Out
lin 1916 he was named Supervising Dean OF the Fro-
+S+ant Church in North Baden and in 1856 elevated
to the rank of prelate with the functions of an alll
ary bishop.

OUIved The Worst
The Community That Was Saved

There still remained % fam
lilies, numbering 64 people,
who had no property on which
to build, no means of their
own (about 100 members of
the community had already
moved elseWhere). JDC set
up barracks for them in
which to live temporarily.
Under the supervision of the
Central Council, a modern,
earthquake resistant apart
ment development was erec-
ted. The houses were just
completed this Spring, when
another severe earthquake
hit Volos. The new housing
went unscathed. Early this
summer the dedication exer-
cises were held and the "a
men, women and children
moved out of the barracks
and into their new homes.
The old barracks erected by
JDC are now being converted
into a community center.
TODAY THERE are fewer
than 100 Jewish families,
numbering 272 persons in the
Jewish community of Volos.
They are all better housed
than they were before the
earthquake. Their synagogue
is rebuilt, their children re-
ceive Hebrew instruction and
they will soon have their first
community center.
A Jewish community has
been saved and it is a cause
for rejoicing, not only for the
Jews of Volos, not only for
the Jews of Greece, but for
Jews everywhere.

their number during the NaZi
occupation. But the end of
the war found a community
ruined, it's synagogues de-
molished, it's remaining $40
Jews impoverished.
Then came the earthquakes
of 1854 and 1855. BY the time
of the last quakes, due to
emigration, the Jewish COM
munity had shrunk to about
300 people. During the dec
ade following the end of the
war more than 1000 Jews mi
grated from Greece, most of
them to Israel and the U.S0.
THE TASK of rebuilding
was too much for the oft
stricken Jewish community.
The Joint Distribution Com
mittee stepped in with imme-
diate emergency aid, but the
Jews of Volos had given up
hope. They were all pre-
pared to leave either to other
parts of Greece or to other
countries. It seemed the end
of the 400 year-old history of
the Jewish community of Vol
oS.
To those who had property
and some small means left
loans were granted from this
fund to enable them to rebuild
their homes and businesses
supplementing the loa a n S
granted for the same purpose
by the Greek Government
Forty-three families, totalling
1872 individuals, were thus
helped to build stronger and
more secure dwellings on
their own property.
