Dingell Proposes Perfection DeMolay to HOld Second Degree
Chapter of Perfec- place in 1951 to third out of the
Israel Peace Plan tion DeMolay
Lodge F. & A.M., will enact 69 chapters in Michigan in 1955.
Speaking before the House of
Representatives last Thursday,
Michigan Congressman John D.
Dingell offered what he called
a short term approach to the
Israel-Arab problem. His four
points call for:
1. Immediate guarantee of
the borders of all parties,
backed up by the necessary
force. This, if need be, is to be
done by the United States alone,
but preferably within the UN or
jointly with Britain and France;
2. International patrol of the
Gaza strip, again by the UN or
the three Western Powers;
3. Immediate instruction to
the Arabs that unless they cease
accepting Russian arms, we will
take necessary steps to ship
Israel such offensive and de-
fensive arms as we might deem
necessary to Israel's defense;
4. Upon refusal of Egypt to
cease accepting Russian arms
we should then see to it that
Israel has the weapons she
needs.
Dingell stated that America
owes two debts to Israel—one
to Jews who fought on the side
of the Allies during the last
World War when the Arabs
were at best "faint-hearted" and
at worst "openly hostile" to the
democracies.
The second debt, he added,
"is that which one who saves
the life of another owes the
person he saves." He referred
to America's quick recognition
of the provisional government
of Israel when it was formed
in 1948.

Even in the "good old days" you couldn't find a
laundress for such a small sum. But today, 440
buys enough electricity to wash and dry the week's
laundry for the average family. With an electric
clothes dryer (to match your electric washer) you
do your laundry the modern way—the easy way.
Follow the modern trend toward all electric living.
See the new electric clothes dryers at your appli-

A strange-looking "bus" that's not really a bus at all has
been the subject of considerable comment in Detroit and Oak
Park during the past few weeks. The "bus" is actually a
Volkswagen, used by the Jacqueline Shops to carry customers
who have no other means of transportation. The free service,
says Murray Levin, Jacqueline's proprietor, is not only good
for business but is appreciated by the customers,
