Gambling at Carnival
Aiding 2 Boys' Clubs
Barred in Alexandria
City Manager Nicholas Colasanto
of Alexandria said today he would
instruct police to prohibit gambling
■‘of any type or nature" at a carnival
which opened in the city Monday.
Mr. Colasanto announced his de
cision after receiving from Com
monwealth's Attorney Howard W.
Smith, jr.. an opinion that all games:
of chance, whether played for
money or any other thing of value,
constitute a violation of Virginia
laws.
Mr. Smith's opinion was re
quested by the Alexandria Cityj
Council after Councilman Jack
Tulloch reported Tuesday that he
had received telephone complaints1
of gambling at the carnival.
Carnival Opens Two-Week Stand.
The carnival began an annual
two-week stand at Montgomer and
Royal streets, Alexandria, this week,
under the local sponsorship of boys’
clubs of St. Mary’s Catholic Church
and of St. Paul’s Catholic Church,
which share the profits.
"It looks to me,” Mr. Colasanto
said, "that anything at the carnival;
with an element of chance should
be stopped since it is a violation of
the State law. I will, therefore,
instruct the chief of police that no
gambling of any type or nature
shall be permitted.”
Four Sections of Code Cited.
The city manager said he had
made only a cursory study of Com
monwealth’s Attorney Smith’s opin
ion and that he had been unable to;
discuss the situation with City At
tomey Joseph M. Pancoast.
Mr, Smith cited four sections of
the Virginia code, w hich he said are
pertinent to the question. Some
pertained to code provisions for the
punishment of those gambling, reg
ulation for prosecution and the
punishment of persons concerned
in the managing or permitting of
lotteries and raffles.
Silver Spring Show Set
A May Day fashion show and tea
will be given at 3 pm. Saturday at
the parish hall of Grace Episcopal
Church, Silver Sprtng. The show Ls
sponsored by St. Hilda's Guild of
the church.
Burroughs Citizens Plan
Study on Incorporation
The Executive Committee of the
Burroughs Citizens’ Association last
night appointed a three-man com
mittee to study the possibility of
incorporating the association and
to prepare any preliminary papers
it finds necessary.
Final action will be taken at the
next regular meeting of the associa
tion. Members of the committee
are Leonard J. Raster, Curtis E.
Chadwick and Fred Nerlich.
In another action, the Executive
Committee appropriated $50 for the
Taft Athletic Association toward the
, support of its baseball team. A
motion to appropriate money to
sponsor a softball team, as has been
done in previous years, was defeated.
The mditing, held in lieu of the
regular association meeting, was at
the home of B. F. Taylor, 3813 Sev
enteenth place N.E. It was con
ducted by Robert N. Burrows, presi
dent.
Mr. Burrows read a letter from
Commissioner Guy Mason desig
nating Washington as a national
demonstration city in rat control.
He told members he will meet with
Dr. Thomas J‘. Kelley, chairman of
Health and Sanitation Committee
to initiate a program for rat ex
termination in the Burroughs area.

PEACE FOR THE
HOLY LAND
*r ,S l>e.,ng ma^J° *tamPcdc thc United States Government into action in a renewed effort to bring about the partitioning of Palestine.
•auare wTth rh J k an ovcrwhclmin« ma<ority of Americans of all faiths, support such action. ' ' We believe that the claim does not
square with the facts; and that the attempt must be resisted. - It is of course true that numbers of Americans have been persuaded that a
Zionist state should be set up as a means of helping the decimated remnants of Europe’s Jews whose plight they wish to alleviate. Many
.re now coming to realize that the conflict in Palestine holds out no such hopes; that, on the contrary, the recent achievements and the
ancient heritage of Palestine are now in jeopardy. ' ' Substantial numbers of Americans, of Christian and Jewish faiths, and
numerous organizations, Christian, Jewish and non-sectarian, have been and remain opposed to the division of a land holy to
three great universal religions. ' ' Numerous publications, newspapers and magazines, have expressed their concern about
the consequences of partition. » » Many millions of American citizens are unaware of the significance of this issue in
“f . °urfbas,c nat,onal interest and have not expressed themselves at all. » » The articulate, highly organized
lobbying of those who, for a variety of partisan reasons, favor the partition of Palestine must not push us into
an action that may have the most serious consequences for our national security, our foreign policy, our
friendship with the Near East peoples, and the cause of world peace.
We call on afl Americans to support the plans of their
Government for
A Truce in Palestine
Reconsideration of the Palestine question by
the General Assembly
Reconciliation of the warring peoples to secure
a stable and just government for Palestine
We call upon the United States Government to present its
proposal for a temporary trusteeship for Palestine as a step
toward a democratic state that will retain the unity of the
Holy Land.
Thaw plans will promote peace
Because they hold out the only hope of stopping the
spread of war;
because they offer the promise of safe-guarding the holy
places sacred to Jew, Moslem and Christian.
These plans will strengthen the United Nations
Because they face the fact that partition has been shown
to be unworkable,
and an attempt to enforce an unworkable plan would
injure the United Nations.
Because, while the partition recommendation of the
General Assembly has no legal, binding force but was,
and could be, only a recommendation, these plans will
have a sound legal basis in the Charter, under the
Trusteeship provisions.
These plans will promote the welfare of the peoples
of all faiths in the Near last
Because they work towards reconciliation instead of
war, because they will iave from danger not only the
Jews of Palestine and their great achievements but also
the 800,000 Jews in other Near Eastern States.
Because they will enable the Near East to continue its
economic and social development, now jeopardized by
conflicts over Palestine.
These plans will promote the interests of the U. S. A.
Because they will further friendly relations between
Americans and the peoples of the Near East.
Because they will help preserve access to the economic
and strategic resources of this important area.
We further appeal for immediate action by the United States
Congress to admit to the U. S. substantial numbers of dis
placed persons of all faiths as proof of our national sincerity
in regard to this problem thereby making more likely the
peaceful solution of the Palestine problem.
Finally, we appeal to Americans of all faiths to express them
selves on these subjects, not out of sectarian or foreign national
interests, but solely and entirely out of their concern for what
is best for the United States, for the United Nations and for
world recovery and world peace.
(n»f sims of the CommitiK in to bring pnn with nitrict to the Holy Land. to farther the best Mwm
of ill Jewv Christians ind Moslems in the Near and Middle Eut; to foster friendly relations among the
peoples of these three faiths throughout the world, and to strengthen the United Nations. JWe metre
inquiries and contribution! from all who wish to support this program.
