Try and Stop Me

By BENNETT CERF

HEN Vice-President Alben Barkley of Kentucky was tour-
W
ing the country in that amazing, seemingly hopeless cam-
paign that brought victory to the Democrats and confusion to

the false prophets, he did not
hesitate to , rifle the old
joke books for anecdotes to
brighten his speeches. At
every whistle stop and ham-
let he would. introduce some
appropriate wheeze that not
only won him a big laugh
but sent his listeners home
saying, "At least these Demo-
cratic fellers say something!
They're not just stuffed
shirts!"

Earkley calculates that the
story he used most—and with
the hest results — was the
ancient one about the man whose wife had just passed away The
funeral procession was shy one car and the undertaker had to ask
the husband to ride to the cemetery with his mother-in-law. "All
right," conceded the bereaved one reluctantly, "but dang bust it.
It'll ruin my whole day!"

The classified ad section of a Philadelphia paper contained this
classic: "Wanted: apartment big enough to keep bride from going
home to mother; small enough to keep mother from coming here."

Editor Urges British Ease Israel Stand

A plea for revision of the
British attitude toward Israel
and the Italian colonies was
made by Symon Gould, editor-
publisher of the "International
Vegetarian," in an open letter
to Sir Stafford Cripps.
Gould urges Cripps to remem-
ber the dollar -sales potential in
the United States of such large
groups as American Jews and
Americans of Italian descent
who, the letter states, "have
contributed importantly to the
progress of the United States in
many fieds."
"For reasons best known to
your foreign office . . certain
attitudes and decisions made .by
the British government have
gone counter to the .sensibilities
of these two groups . . . The
Italians with regard to the re-
turn of tie former Italian colo-
nies to absorb the surplus popu
lation of Italy . . The Jews
with regard to Israel and the
continued •un-cooperative and
somewhat hostile attitude of the
British government towards the
Israeli nationalistic strivings

based on a realistic necessity for
the provision of their growing
population forced upon this
small country by recent Euro-
pean developments in which
Great Britain to some degree
had a part in its peak de-
nouement which witnessed the
extermination of 6.000,000 Jews,"
the letter reads.
"Therefore, I would suggest as
a realistic move on the part of
your Public Relations Council
and in particular on the part of
your Foreign Office that some
indication be given, not merely
verbal, that Great Britain pro-
poses to altar her position with
regard to these two peoples so
that its still great and vital in-
fluence may be exerted toward
eradicating some of the bad Will
which s h e has engendered,"
Gould states.

Test Egypt*, Good Faith
Oh Suez Oil Shipment

LONDON, (JTA)—The London
Times, in a Tel Aviv dispatch
regarding the approach' to Israel
shores of two oil tankers, says
the arrival of the vessels is in-
tended to "test the good faith
of the Egyptian Government,
which recently entered into an
agreement with Britain to allow
non-military cargoes destined
for Israel to pass through the
Suez Canal" without interfer-
ence.
The Times report says that it
is not expected that the Haifa
oil refineries will be reopened
immediately.
Although assurances ha v e
been received from the Egyptian
Government on the passage of
Israel-bound ships through the
Suez Canal, it would be incorrect
to refer to these assurances as
an "agreement," since this would
imply that Britain recognizes
Egypt's right to stop any ship
under any circumstances in the
Canal, an authoritative source
told t h e Jewish Telegraphic
Agency.

Polio Precautions

The golden rule of personal clean;
liness should be observed particu-
larly in the usual summer poll*

kept tightly covered and safe from
flies and other insects. The same
applies to garbage, which, where
other disposal facilities are lacking,
should be buried or burned.
