The British type of parachute (originally developed in this country) gets in the way when the flier is seated in his plane Neverthels U. S. fliers value the single release so highly that almost every American aviator ar- riving in England tries to beg, bor-' row or steal British type.

Lovett as executive as- sistant to the Governor of the Vir-! gin Islands | Lovett, one of the most contro-! versial figures in the government was voted out of his job by Con- gress after an adverse report by the Dies Committee because he be- Ionged to certain liberal organiza- tions. However, Ickes refused to fire Lovett—until the other ds He | Kept him on the job in the Virgin| Islands in order to give Lovett a chance to make a test case before the Court of Claims or the U. S. Supreme Court as to whether or not Congress has a right to inter- fere with the President’s appeint-| ments of executive officers. Last week, the House Appropria- tions Committee was all set to raise | another rumpus with Ickes when they met behind closed doors. In fact, one of the first questions ask-| ed of Ickes was whether Lovett was still on his payrell “If you had asked me Chat ques- tion at nine o'clock,” replied Secre- tary Ickes, with a twinkle in his eye, “I would not have to tell you. But the first thing I did when I arrived at the office this morning was to look up Lov- ett’s status. When 1 found he was still employed in the Virgin Islands, I immediately dictated a request for his resignation.” Ickes went on to explain that he had intended for Lovett to remain on the payroll only long enough to) give him a chance to test the case in court, and had not realized he was still on the payroll. Lovett is much-beloved by Virgin Island natives, who offered to raise funds from their local government to pay his salary. However, he is not beloved by Governor Harwood,, Ickes s that the people of England have their 7 income tax form traubles, just as do ihose of the According to the British Information are largely mathe- the and unhappy regime that backing. militaj ing we are still a Now we ar the European Bk Lo of wonder.

PRESIDENT ON PALLSTINE It is now pretty clear at the President thinks that State and War Department officials deceived him on the Palestine issue. Tip-off is that, shortly after these officials had strongly opposed the Congres- sional resolutions favoring Jewish immigration into Palestine, the President himself came out strong- 1y for the Jewish plan. This bappened after he had li tened to two prominent rabbi |Stephen S. Wise and Abba H. Sil- ver, co-chairmen of the American Zionist Emergency Council. The President talked with these men for almost an hour. And before they {left his office, he determined to put himself on record in favor of the Zionist plan. He told the two Jewish leaders |that they would be accosted by the press as they left his office, and he suggested that he himself pre- pare a little statement which they !could all agree upon. to sources of incom It is intere information is required if there are , scares us English instruction book would scare continent significance our move into Italy preparations for that invasion prove no better than they were for the invasion of Italy, ! the possibilities with dread.
