French Jews Find
It Difficult to
Repossess Homes
By Dudley Ann Harmon
(United Praaa Staff Correspondent)
Paris iipi Forty thousand
French foreign Jews who returned
to Paris to claim property after
four years of persecution are dis
illusioned and bewildered because
the majority find neither a home
nor food, according to Arthur
Greenleigh, Los Angeles, Cal., di
rector in France of the American
joint distribution committee.
"The French government ruled
tthat all who had taken over Jew-
isn property must give it up with
three important exceptions,"
Greenleigh said. "The exccDtions
are families of deportees, war
prisoners anu members of forced
labor battalions. Such families
form 50 per cent of the current
occupants of Jewish property in
Paris.
Government May Aid
"The other 50 per cent are in
many Instances Frenchmen who
refuse to give up possession. To
oust them the lawful owner must
go to court which costs money and
may take as long as two years."
Under pressure by French or
ganizations which distribute the
joint committee's money, the gov
ernment Is 'now considering legis
lation to expedite such cases.
"But it still will be difficult,"
Greenleigh said. "I know a Jew
who went to claim his furniture
but the concierge told him the
Germans had taken it. He recog
nized several pieces adorning her
rooms. But Jews after four years
of persecution are chary about
making trouble."

The committee has opened a vo

Greenleigh said ,that in 1939
there were 300,000 Jews in France.
An additional 50,000 came from
occupied countries during the first
year of war. The Germans de
ported 127,000 Jews of whom 10,
000 were shot or died in concentra
tion camps. An additional 50,000
emigrated to other countries.

Indians knew that white civiliza

HERE IS A PARTIAL VIEW of
Associated's new, multi-million dollar
fluid-type Catalytic Cracking Plant just
Completed at Avon, California. Largest
unit of its type in the world, this plant
embodies all of this company's research
and experience in big-volume aviation
fuel production before and since Pearl
Harbor. ; .
Now pouring out aviation super-fuel
for the Pacific battle fronts, this mag
nificent unit will at the mere turn
ing of a few valves begin immediate
production of new type, magically im
proved postwar motor fuel. Rushed to
completion for war, it was engineered
for peace as well. It was built without
a penny of taxpayers' money, by west
ern engineers and builders. After the
war, manned by an increased number
of western .workers, this plant will be
a source of finer motor fuels than you
have ever used. Associated goes
forward with the west.

(UnlUJ Prau Hurt CurrMpondrnt)
Washington, Feb. 15 II Dr.
Oeorge W. Calver says he has
the cold situation amonf the law
makers licked. He is a nice guy
and a first-class sawbones and I
like him, but:
I went up to the senate i-and
watched the boys spray oratory all
over the place and I came down
with probably the most magnifi
cent cold in the history of man-
Kind. I can't talk. I can't see, un
less I squint. Mv eves hurt and
my ears feel terrible; my nose is
red.
Dr. Calver claims that ho can
fix me with a pill (and I'm going
to let him try), but I insist a cold
caught in the senate is a mysteri
ous and special disease, unlike
colds caught elsewhere. My feet
nun. wnoever heard of an ordi
nary cold doing that?
I think I know the senator who
sprinkled me with germs. He
made a speech at me and I could
feel it. Damp. Why some senators
have to dribble when thev talk. I
do not know. Next time I venture
into their sanctum, I'm going to
wear a gauze mask, as in an ob
stetrical ward.
The problem. In the meantime.
is handkerchiefs. Lack of same.
I tried four stores. Three had
no handkerchiefs. The fourth had
silk ones with pretty stripes
around the edges. A silk hand
kerchief has no more chance of
keeping up with a cold than a pa
rasol has of warding off a ty
phoon. Achew!
Eventually I found a cigar stor?.
which had handkerchiefs in paste-
ooara ooxes. ine man would sen
me three. Who'd I think I was, he
said. The only owner of a cold in
the capital? . - 1
So he's rationing handkerchiefs,
like eigarets. I never thought life
would come to this. Let's stop here
a minute and while I squirt my
self with ephedrlne.
As for Dr. Calver, he Is the
attending physician to 500 -odd
congressmen and senators, plus
their clerks, plus the inhabitants
of the press galleries. He has a
staff of assistants and nurses
and manages most of the time to
keep his charges on their feet. He
only wishes that they'd spend a
little more of their time follow
ing his advice.
Dr. Calver has posted in strate
gic spots around the capltol build
ing his 10 commandments of
health. All a lawmaker has to do
to stay healthy is eat wisely, drink
plentifully (of water, the doctor
is quick to point out), eliminate
thoroughly, bathe cleanly, exer
cise rationally, skip the worry,
play enthusiastically, relax com
pletely, sleep sufficiently, and
check up occasionally.
"P.S.," the doctor adds. "Give
five per cent of your time to keep
ing well; you won't have to give
100 per cent to getting over being
sick.
"P.P.S. This even applies to the
fourth estate."
That last postscript means mo.
Somewhere along the line I must
have skipped a rule, from one to
10, and I am a mess.
Bleary-eyed. Pale-faced, croupy--looklng.
And drlbbly.
I'm going to give the senate's
doctor one more chance. I'll take
that pill and if lt works, wonder
ful. Otherwise I'm going out to
the bark pasture, He down, and
die. .
