Low amedy at Lake Success
America's representative on the Trusteeship .Council, Gerig, has
•made our country a laughing stock. Whenever slick, aggressive Auni
Khalidy of Iraq speaks up against any proposal, Mr. Gerig quickly
backs him up. Whenever Mr. Khalidy nixes an American plan, Mr.
Gerig is quick to acknowledge that the plan is "faulty" and with-
draws it from the agenda. Khalidy plays the tune and Mr. Gerig
does the jig. Matters have reached such a stage that American cor-
respondents are disgusted and feel embarrassed by Gerig's conduct.
The correspondents of a top American news agency were overheard
complaining after a Trusteeship Council session: "For — sake,
this fellow is an American. Ws downright embarrassingAo have this
fellow speak for America.'
Trusteeship Council President Sayres, another American, is
equally embarrassing. His inept handling of the Trusteeship Council
sessions has outraged all observers at the UN. Sayres wastes time
by recapitulating all that has been said immediately after a delegate
has said it. He cannot make up his mind on minor issues such as
whether to place before the Council a motion for adjournment or to
continue the debate. Last Friday, Mr. Sayres clutched at a proposal
by USSR delegate Tsarapkin for adjournment, and then quickly
reversed himself and proposed that the debate continue, and no
sooner had he reversed himself when he again proposed adjourn-
ment.
Typical was an unconscious slip of.,.th# tongue by Sayres. Said
he at one of the sessions: "If I understand myself correctly . . ."
Most of the "time, he seems to understand neither the proceedings
nor himself.
Gerig and Sayres are typical of the rubber stamps that the
State Department'S secret hierarchy has dispatched to the U.N.
Men as incompetent and, confused as Gerig and Sayres, who other-
wise are amiable chaps, serve well the purposes of the Loy Hender-
son clique but they don't enhance the reputation of the United
States.
, Matters have reached such a pass that whenever a correspondent
wants some laughs he leaves whatever committee he is covering and
wanders into the Trusteeship Council where the team of Sayres and
Gerig is always good for a laugh. The team has been nicknamed
Abbott and Costello.
A sinister figure is the smiling, slouching, tall Southern attorney
Dean Rusk. He is the man who undertook the dirty job several weeks
ago of announcing America's reversal of partition.
The Ex's Are Back
The Ex's, Ex-Senators and Congressmen, are back in the ring, or,
more correctly, scrambling into the ring, although we doubt that
they'll make it. Former U. S. Senator Robert Rice Reynolds, who
had organized his own coast guard vigilantes to hunt "illegal immi-
grants" along the Atlantic Coast of the U. S., has announced that
he hopes to attend the Democratic National Convention and do some
lobbying there. Ex-Kansas Congressman W. P. Lambertson stated
recently: "The Jews are doing their best to get us into a third world
war over Palestine. I have had the feeling for seven years but never
dared . . • express it, that they did more through the press, radio
and screen to get us into the last war, to get even with Hitler, than
any other force ... Ex-Congressman Hamilton Fish is aroused
over the war crimes arraignment of Germany's top industrialists.
He expressed his dismay in an article, over his by-line, in Chicago's
Deutsch-Americanische Buerger .Zeitung.
Lovebird Lizzie
Remember Lizzie (Mrs. Roosevelt is a Communist) Dilling, one
of the frothiest anti-Semitic hysterics? She has divorced her hus-
band, is now a newly wed. Her new name: Mrs. Jeremiah Stokes.
Candidate ' •
john G. Scott, editor of Money, another of the fringe magazines,
Is running for—President, as the candidate of the Greenback Party.
He once said the Axis powers "have destroyed robbery" and "driven
the money lords out.'

MONTREAL (JTA)...--The Ca-
nadian League- for a Free Pales-
tine was sharply criticized by the
United Zionist Council df Canada,
meeting here, for announcing the
formation of a "Maple Leaf Le-
gion for Palestine."
"We are most anxious that the
Canadian public be made aware
that the Maple Leaf Legion has
not been authorized and does not
have the support of any represen-
tative Zionist body," the resolu-
tion said. "We fired it necessary
to repeat previous warnings to
Canadian Zionists against the de-
sirability of lending any support
to dissident and divisive move-
ments which can only lead to con-
fusion."

periences may be exchanged
