Truth Society's Task SHOPPING WITH SUSAN Is Fighting for Peace Catholic Group Toils in Spreading Literature to All Corners of Globe ft room are bundles and bundles of them which are drawn upon when orders are received. There's a staff of 14 at the society's headquarters Miss Mary Aletta Pelton. secretary to the Rev. Dr.

Edward Lodge Curran president of the society, and others. But down in the pamphlet room are Miss Agnes Reed, in charge of the books; Miss Anna D. Ray, who next month will celebra'e her 25th anniversary with the society; Miss Muriel Schaeffer atid Miss Rose Giobbi. You may get some idea of the size of this job when you consider that there are 8.000 different title on the pamphlet shelves, representing the output of about 300 domestic publishers and about five foreign publishing houses. These titles cover a wide range of subjects, not all of them having to do with religion of the Catholic viewpoint.

They cover history, biography, morals, civics and government, economics, vocations, conduct of life and, of course, many different subjects pertaining especially to religionexplanations of doctrine. ry rr i is I Eagle 81 all photo THREE AND A HALF MILLION A YEAR That's the number of pamphlets on some 8,000 subjects that go out of this room at the International Catholic Truth Society, 407 Bergen bound for points all over the world. The number of pieces on the free literature list accounts for 2,000,000 a' year. The Women's Auxiliary of the society will hold a benefit card party, reception and dance Thursday night at the Columbus Club, 1 Prospect Park West, for the free literaure list. The organization also gives much of its time to the work of distributing the literature.

Nobody really knows whether every member of the Woman's Auxiliary of the International Catholic Truth Society pays her dues or not. That's because the dues record Is a matter between each member and her conscience. And that's because the only dues they pa amounts to a prayer repeated three times a day and offered for the preservation of peace for this country. The piayer said Is the "Hail Mary." The group was organized three years ago by Mrs. Edna Garde, its president, as a nonfund-raising organization.

The members' contributions consist of faith and works faith in the way of spiritual acts and works in the way of well, just good hard work. The auxiliary is breaking its rule, however, next Thursday night, when It will hold a raid party, dance and reception at the Colum- bus Club, 1 Prospect Park West, to celebrate its third anniversary. which is today, and to funds for the free literature list of the society. Formed to Fight 'Isms' The organization set out with the prlmaty purpose of fighting communism, naziism, and fascism. And the members young, middle-aged and elderly have been known for their militancy in this battle in a quiet, orderly fashion.

But carrying picket signs at communist demonstrations, gathering data against subversive activities, preparing and distributing it has been only one part of their work. A large part of their activity is of a peaceful, peace-promoting character. Tt's rather quiet job. but the sum total of the work is pretty, dramatic. They lend their assistance to the work of the I.

Egypt's Boy King Holds Gateway of ri Cairo (Correspondence of the Associated Press) War put plump, wilful, 20-year-old Farouk, I of Egypt on the spot today eve of the fourth anniversary of his rule-as King of a key country should conflict break out of bounds southeastward. Speculation that the fighting might burst into Rumania, or Russia's Baku oil fields, or Iraq, or Iran, and the tramp of Allied boots from Cairo to Damascus emphasized the importance of Farouk's committments to Egypt's paternal guardian and ally, Great Britain. Egypt, under the determined if closely watched rule of Farouk, holds the Suez, lifeline between Britain and the East.

It also furnishes a convenient and element Jumping off place for troops arid planes into southeastern Europe. Under the treaty of 1936, by which Great Britain granted Egypt at least nominal sovereignty and Independence, Farouk was bound to supply in case of war or menace of war "an facilities and assistance in his power, Including use of ports, airdromes and means of communication." Dealt Hitler Snub Less of a problem from the beginning of his reign than Britain expected of so young and strong-willed a King, Farouk severed diplomatic relations with Germany the day after Britain declared war. Two weeks later the government-dominated Senate voted a state of siege and Parliament quickly ratified emergency powers to implement Farouk's promises to help Britain. Sine then he has given evidence that he is bound by conviction as well as by treaty, the. Allied cause.

His police have raided Port Said, Cairo, Alexandria and other centers to pick lip Germans. In spite of his youth, Farouk has shown himself a smooth politician, able to get along' with his own people and with the British. Educated in England, he was in that country studying when his father, King Fuad, died on April 28, 1936. Farouk hurried home to Cairo and ruled under a regency until he reached the age of 18. He was invested July, 1937, and one of the first things done by his cabinet then was the authorization of big Increases in the estimates for the army and defenses of Egypt's frontiers.

Jewish Sanitarium To Celebrate Its 15th Anniversary Culminating 15 years of chari- table medical service, during which it has cared for about 3,500 men, women and children, the Jewish Sanitarium and Hospital for Chronic Diseases at Rutland Road and E.

He named Aly Maher Pasha, former cabinet head and one of the original members of the Wafd (Egyptian Nationalist party) as his political advisor and head of his private cabinet.

The party representatives of the G.O.P.-controlled rural areas have fought for years against the possibility of New York City Democratic domination of the Legislature and are today among the strongest advocates of District Attorney Dewey's nomination for the Presidency.

The fight will be directed primarily against the uprooting of the third-term tradition if Mr. Roosevelt enters the campaign again as the avowed nominee or as a candidate drafted at Chicago on the theory the nation needs his guidance as long as hostilities rage abroad. To the President's New York sup porters, willing enough to risk the involvement of the third-term tradition, the campaign represents also an opportunity for the shattering of another tradition which has given their party rivals long years of control over the legislative branch of the State government. AIRPORTS Seventeen thousand employes of the Douglas Aircraft Company will be presented this Summer with special vacation checks and given extra time off with pay, Donald W. Douglas, president of the company, announced.

Cost to the company wnj be $500,000. Capt. E. V. Rickenbacker, president and general manager of Eastern Air ynes, reports that due to popular demand and in anticipation of an increase in air travel to the South during the Winter months of 1940-41, 11 new Douglas 21-passenger Silverliners and two new Douglas 14-passenger Silver-sleepers have been ordered.

Delivery will be made between June and October. In the latter part of 1941 the company will receive eight Douglas 42-passenger super-liners, veritable giants of the air.

Mis Helen Richer, (he first woman flier to get a co-pilot position with a commercial airlane, is staying at the Roosevelt Field Inn and aims to get an instructors rating. At the field Mrs. Barchal K.

Douglas of Oyster Bay made her more intently upon Washington and the secrets held under lock and key in the national capital. In time, before or after the sphinx-like silence upon the third-term issue is broken. New York will be told officially how many inhabitants it has and the tabulation will determine ine state ions- overdue and neglected apportion- ment of its Senate and Assembly districts. Although the mandate has been defied for years because of a partisan deadlock at Albany, the State Constitution requires a readjustment of legislative districts after each Federal decennial census and provides that the apportionment shall be based upon the data pro vided by the Federal enumeration. While the voting power of Democratic-controlled sections of the State has risen and Democratic Gov ernors have been elected to office.

without interruption for 18 years, their party, since 1912, has held full control of the Legislature only once. G. O. P. Holds Power In the long run, because of what Democrats have denounced bitterly as the joker in the Constitution giving the Republicans almost insuperable up-State advantages, the G.

O. P. has succeeded in holding either one or both houses of the Legislature and as New York awaits the unpredictable national campaign the party of Thomas E. Dewey dominates both legislative branches. As far-seeing Democratic leaders fasten their view on Washington they make no secret in private discussions of their hope and misgivings.

Adjusting the situation to present conditions, the No. 1 hope of President Roosevelt's Democratic supporters is admittedly for a third-term race. Hope No. 2 is that the final census figures will show a still more conclusive preponderance of population in centers where the Democratic party is intrenched and make it possible for them to reinforce the long-denied demand for more adequate representation at Albany within the limits of the present constitutional provisions. Puttine aside for the moment their private views on the matter of the New Deal, the practical-minded Democratic leaders, favoring the third-term race in disagreement with the party wing which opposes it, take the stand that the party should reap the advantages of Mr.

Roosevelt's vote-getting powers. If District Attorney Dewey is the Republican nominee for President, the third-term advocates insist, Mr. Roosevelt must head the Democratic ticket to keep the State out of the Republican colu.nn. Hope to Rule on Chanire Linked with the hope or the third-term race is the thought that another sweep in November may put the Democrats in control of both houses of the Legislature and permit the party to put through Us own apportionment and possibly allow the Initiation of an amendment changing the Constitution which would influence legislative control for years to come. When Mr.

Roosevelt swept the State in 1932 by a plurality of nearly 600,000 votes over Herbert Hoover it was sufficient to transfer control of the State Senate from the Republicans to the Democrats while the Republicans retained control of the Assembly by a iiiargin of a single mm Your favorite reefers and dressmaker eoats with every new fashion detail!
