Pope Blesses Jew
ish Charity Efforts
VATICAN CITY, (/P)—Pope Pi

The Pontiff received a delega-i

The survey is part of the united
Jewish appeal, which this yearj

Jews in Europe and Palestine.
The Pope, speaking in English,!
said: “We gladly invoke the bless-!
ing of God most high on all char-|
itable endeavors you may under- J
take in His name.”
In an address last night the
Pope described the atom bomb as
“the most terrible arm that the
n^ind of man has yet devised” and
urged scientists to turn atomic en-;
ergy to works of peace.
The Pontiff, in an address be
fcjje the Pontificial Scientific
A :ademy asked:
“What catastrophe must human-;
ity await from a future conflict, if
iti is shown impossible to halt or
curb the use of always new and
always more surprising scientific
inventions?”
Scientists from the United!
Spates, Italy, Eire, Austria, Bel
gium, and Portugal heard the'
Papal address. Several cardinals
ahd diplomatic resperenstatives to'
the Holy See also were present at
the ceremony in Consistorial Hall.
Dog Rescued from
Atlantic Ice Pack
NEW YORK, (A5) — A mongrel
dog was rescued from an ice floe
200 feet out in Gravesend Bay off
Brooklyn yesterday after six
hours combined operations by this
amphibious force:
(1) Police ashore, <2> police in
launch, (3> a coast guard ice
breaker, (4) a fire truck with ex
tension ladder, (5) society for pre
vention of cruelty to animals
agents with various life-saving
gadgets, and—finally—just a little
sailboat without canvas, which
was poled through the ice pack by
two men who lured the shivering
animal aboard with dog food.
Rent Controls Will
Remain “As Is”
WASHINGTON, (/P)—A predic
tion that rent controls will be ex
tended “just about as they are
now” came today from Senator A.
Willis Robertson (D.-Va.).
And an informal check among
members of the Senate banking
committee studying the issue gave
support to this forecast.
The check showed that at least
eight Senators—a committee ma
jority—object to some parts of a
controversial bill proposing sharp
ly modified rent curbs until April
30, 1949.
Present controls expire Febru
ary 29.

Interior Dept. To
Sell Material From
Public Domain
WASHINGTON. (iP)—The inte
rior department today went into
the business of selling sand, gra
vel, cactus, Yucca, mesquite and
other assorted products of the
public domain.
Persons who want to buy in lots
of $1,000 or less must pay cash,
but in some cases may not even
have to enter a bid.
For materials valued at more
than $1,000, sealed bids will be re
quired and a bond of not less than
10 per cent of the contract price
must be provided.
Congress passed general legisla
tion last July authorizing sale of
common types of natural resourc
es from public lands.
Secretary of the interior Krug
said regulations have been com
pleted, after six months of prepa
ration, for the bureau of land
management to dispose of “mate
rials, including but not limited to
sand, stone, gravel, yucca, mes
quite, cactus, common clay, and
timber or other forest products.”
on public lands in Alaska and the
continental United States.
Still outside the provision of
public sale, however, are products
of land in natiohal forests, nation
al parks and mounments, or any
Indian lands or lands set a§ide for
the use of Indians.
Timber sales in Alaska will be
made under Alaskan statutes
whenever applicable, Krug said,
and ’’dead and down” timber or
dinarily is not subject to disposal.

mittee also provides for property
