Rabbi Moses Mecheloff I State of New York, who declared the 26th anniversary of the issu-1 will speak on the "Effect of Pal-1 that "now, even more than after " the last war, it is essential that a way be found to open the doors of Palestine." Miss Dorothy Thompson, com- mentator on international affairs, asserted that the first step toward disentanglement of the problems of the Near East "must be a clear- CU t division of the political spheres of sovereignty of Jews and Arabs," as clearly implied in the Balfour Declaration. Declaring that the gathering was an occasion for "joyous re- membrance and mournful reflec- tion," Dr. Stephen S. Wise as- serted that "had the British in- stead of the Palestine government co-operated with us, Palestine today might in every sense be Jewish, as President Wilson said to me in 1918 he expected Pales- tine again to become." He also asserted that "if Jews of influ- ence and power and circumstance such as they who recently withdrew from the American Jewish Conference" had given "their furtherance and their fa- cilitation to the rebuilding of the Jewish national home" there "might have been a Jewish Pal- estine today." Dr. Goldstein, newly elected president of the ZOA, criticized "irresponsible" suggestions pro- posing the transfer of Arabs from Palestine to Iraq as unauthorized by "any responsible Jewish body here or abroad." He said they "emanated" from the same irre- sponsible elements which an- nounced that Rumanian Jews could be saved at $50 a head and which recently brought hundreds of rabbis to Washington on the spurious assurance that the Presi- dent would receive them.

All members of the Beach Zionist District will participate. On Saturday, the services at the Beth Jacob Synagogue will carry a note of sorrow over the plight of European Jewry, and in ins sermon Rabbi Mescheloff will discuss the congregation's obli- gation and moral duty to further the task of creating a national Jewish homeland as a refuge and as a guarantee against the slaughter of innocents as wit- nessed in the last decade. These activities are in accord with a message issued by the Synagogue Council of America, whose president.

The meeting marked the open- ing of a nation-wide campaign against the British White Paper policy in Palestine and was at- tended by more than 3,000 people and an overflow crowd of more than 15,000. Wendell Willkie stated in his message that it was his convic- tion "that the promises contained in the Balfour Declaration must be fulfilled in accordance with its clear intent and "underlying purpose."

F IS MBSJPSTEIN New York (JTA).Resolutions expressing "full support" for the American Jewish Conference and appealing to the British people and government to abandon the White Paper policy were adopted here this week at the closing ses- sion of the 29th annual conven- tion of the Hadassah, which elect- ed Mrs. Moses P. Epstein presi- dent of the organization for the next term. The resolution on the White- Paper also urged the U. S. Gov- ernment and the American pub- lic "to add its voice" in support of the Jewish demand. Another resolution appeals to the "con- science of the democratic peoples and the governments of the United Nations" to help bring about the rescue of 29,000 Jewish children in Europe for whom certificates of entry into Palestine have been promised by the Brit- ish Government. The convention adopted a budget of $1,620,000 to be spent during the next year for medicaL post-war health, child welfare, vocational education, youth, ref- ugee and land reclamation proj- ects. Tribute was paid by the convention to King Christian X of Denmark, and King Gustaf V of Sweden for the heroism with which their peoples have de- fended Jewish citizens and refu- gees in both countries against the Nazis, by announcing the plant- ing of two groves of trees in the name of these monarchs in the Holy Land. Dr. Stephen S. Wise and Dr. Abba Hillcl Silver of Cleveland, co-chairmen of the American Zionist Emergency Council, the chief speakers at the concluding session, concentrated upon a plea for the abrogation of the White Paper, which if implemented would curtail Jewish immigra- tion into Palestine by March, 1944; upon an attack on the Brit- i s h Palestine administration, which was accused of "staging" !the recent arms-smuggling trials, Washington (JTA).

This solemn covenant and undertaking to help in the reestab- lishment of the Jewish National Home in Palestine was subse- quently endorsed by 52 nations, including by unanimous reso- lution the Congress of the United States. They came to a land of past glory but present decay, whose natural fertility had been destroyed by encroaching swamps and desert sands; whose hills had been denuded of trees; and whose cities had dwindled into mean and stagnant townships. In the course of a pioneering achievement unequalled in pres- ent-day colonization, they drained swamps and planted for- ests. They irrigated the dry land, developed agriculture and industry, and built cities. In the years that followed, hundreds of thousands of Europe's Jews found refuge and a home in Palestine." It is altogether fitting as the observance of Balfour Week is noted, that the Miami Zionist District initiated a constructive move that will concretely aid the Zionist cause at a time when it is needed most. At a meeting to be held next week, a proposal to heads of local houses of worship will be made similar to action of syn- agogues in other parts of the country, to enroll the membership of these institutions as a unit in the Zionist organization. The Zionist cause faces its most difficult period in its years of intensive effort in behalf of the National Homeland. The im- portance and weight that the action of any group bears depends upon its strength. In this instance numerical strength is all important. Dr. Stephen S. Wise, this week, at Balfour Day Meeting in New York, aptly said: "This is a day of joyous remembrance and of mournful re- flection; joyous remembrance of the issuance of a great instru- ment, a charter which after the World War gave to the Jewish people a new hope and a new opportunity; mournful reflection because Balfour's England has not presided over the Palestine government throughout the more than a quarter of a century that has passed. Too often, and most especially at this mo- ment, the Jewish rebuilders of Palestine have had not facilita- tion nor furtherance from that Palestine government which may have represented the Colonial office, but has utterly misrepre- sented the spirit of Balfour's England and the English people. Had the British instead of the Palestine government cooperated with us, Palestine today might in every sense be Jewish, as President Wilson said to me in 1918 he expected Palestine again to come. "But one thing more remains to be said. There might have been a Jewish Palestine today, if Jews of influence and power and circumstance had given their furtherance and their facilita- tion to the rebuilding of the Jewish National Home. These have failed us but the Jewish National Home is being created. It will be, provided the Jews of the world over deeply care and greatly help, provided the United Nations act in the spirit of the Atlantic Charter." With manpower shortage as prevalent and the innumerable additional channels in which the civic, patriotic and spiritual minded individual must lend his efforts, makes mandatory planning to do the most with the least effort. All the religious organizations are firm believers in Zionism and that for which it stands. Co-operation to effect the enrollment of the member- ship rosters of our local institutions must be given. Jewish Religious Education By RABBI SIMON APRIL Spiritual Leader Congregation Schaarei Zedik (Kditor's Note: This iM another in a mHm of artlclea by the Hiiiritual loaders of fJrater Miami.) "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom." Psalm 111:10. "The goal of wisdom is re- pentance and good deeds."Tal- mud Brachoth 17a. Jewish religious education calls for two things, earnest considera- tion and concerted action. Israel's kingdom is a kingdom of the spirit; and Israel's history is not a story of fire, whirlwind or earthquake, but of the still, small voice, the voice of conscience, the voice of God. Religious educa- tion alone can rear the spiritual ramparts of that kingdom and insure a continuity of the Jewish spirit. "As long as the sound of little children repeating the Shema or Shemang is heard with- in the walls of Jewish schools and synagogue," say the Rabbis, "all the Balaams and Hamans in the world cannot prevail against Israel." Where Jewish schools are, alas deserted and Jewish children are prevented from learning the Shema. as the Ha- mans have succeeded in doing first in Germany, later in many other countries, the outlook for Israel is dark indeed. More than to any other people or church, religious education is a question of life and death to the congre- gation of Jacob. In the past, the Jew had trans- lated literally the words of the Mishnah in Peoh, 1. "Talmud To- rah K'neged Kulom" which means that the study of the To- rah is equal to them all; the study of the Torah outweighs all the ethical precepts enumerated in that Mishnah, because the Torah is itself the sum and concept of all ethical law. The duty of re- ligious education is emphasized in the Shema ("and thou shalt teach them diligently to thy children") and it is thereby placed on the same level as the proclamation of the Unity of God and the command, "Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all they soul and with all thy might." Today more than ever before religious education has become of paramount. Never before has the school been of such vital impor- tance; the school of today will decide the future of our race. Within a few years our youth will be men and women If, in their case, the battle for Judaism is lost during their school life, what hope have we to keep them within the ranks of Israel, loyal and true in the days to come? The religious factor in educa- tion is the strongest of all mo- tives that make for moral strength, self control and char- acter. The weal or woe of our children thus depends upon the religious equipment with which they start on the journey of life. It is, therefore, the duty of every Jewish father and mother to understand at least the founda- tion of Jewish religious educa- tion as well as the aim toward which wo are to train our chil- dren in the way they should go. One brief verse of the Psalmist, restated in various forms by the Biblical sages, wonderfully ex- presses the foundation of Jewish education: "Reishes chochmoh yiras od hosheim""the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wis- dom." Judaism maintains that the wisdom of man is a sheer and utter vanity, unless it is con- ditioned by "the fear of the Lord," unless it is accompanied by reverent submission to the will in the service of higher things. The Jewish child was. and should therefore be taught to look upon life as a discipline de- manding unconditional obedience to Divine commandments. Thou salt, and thou shalt not. involv- ing a constant sacrifice of selfish inclinations for the sake of prin- ciple. In such discipline lies the road of educational salvation out of the moral chaos in our own age. Only by inculcating in the souls of our young loyal obedience to Divine laws that are absolute and unchangeable can we hope to stem the waters of animalism and heathenism that today threaten the higher life of man. Listen to the words of two out- stand men. One of the great statesmen of our age says. "Our youth of today, perhaps more than ever on account of the mis- ery that we have been reaping now for the sowing of a few years ago, requires a discipline which is more severe, more drastic, more hardening in spiritual things, than has been called for by any generation in the last century." The other, an illustrious Jew- ish scientist, Professor Haffkine. says, "Jewish youths are often under the impression that re- straint is tyrannical and illiberal. The stores of observation and thought accumulated by far- sighted elders which arc essential for guarding the destinies of a nation are not perceivable to the young, because they lack the ex- perience and above all the neces- sary knowledge." These two opinions are best il- lustrated by our prophet Jere- miah in the words "tov lagever ki yiso ol binoorov""it is good for a man that he bear the yoke in his youth." It is a vindication of the basic principle of Jewish education: "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom." If the fear of the Lord is the foundation of Jewish religious education, what is its purpose goal and aim? The goal in the training of our youth is not the acquisition of skill, power or wealth. These things may be good in their place, but they arc not the primary ends either of education or of life. The primary aim fit Jewish education is the consecration of the Jewish child to Judaism, and his preparation for a life of beneficence for Israel and humanity.

Yet the local Hebrew press ignored this biographical fact... The Hebraists who have delved in Jewish politics cannot forget that Reuben Brainin, during the last years of his life, administered some public spankings to them for their reac- tionaryism Probably they would have tempered their eulogies of Tchernichovsky if they had known that the He- brew poet left instructions for the posthumous return to the Finnish government of the decoration it had bestowed upon him Brainin and Tchernichovsky saw eye to eye on inter- national affairs Strange, but true: The Norwegian Nobel Prize winner, Sigrid Undset, now living in this country, wrote a splendid article on anti-Semitism after the war ...

(Concluded from Last Week) The reconstruction program included the work i two units of social service experts who studied st-war conditions in London, Paris and other large rrnDean cities and visited internment and refu- s' camps. Between 1920 and 1923 more than fiSOOO individuals were given aid at the great port lies and helped to become naturalized American citizens. The Council endorsed the entrance of the United i States into the International Labor Organization d the League of Nations and consistently sup- ' oorted social aspects of the league. At mat time, Councils had been formed in Australia, Greece and Turkey, and the Council was active in England, Holland, France, Italy and other European countries. With' the deepening of the depression, social and welfare services were greatly increased. The Council's program included creation of employ- ment, financial relief, emergency training courses, special free classes for the unemployed, participa- tion in stay-in-school campaign and in the feeding of undernourished children. The Council joined the National Peace Confer- ence and gave its support to trade agreements to ease economic tension and favored the embargo on war materials to aggressors. The Council petitioned President Roosevelt to take a firm stand on the Jap- anese question, to impose sanctions on Italy, and to aid the Spanish Loyalists. During the early days of Hitler's regime, the Council's Port and Dock workers helped about 2,000 refugees annually through their first difficult hours in a strange land. This number increased to 16,225 by 1939. When American was again involved in world war the Council's president, Mrs. Maurice L. Gold- man issued an appeal to American Jewish women to carry on the CouncU's fivefold program while bending aU energies to win the war. The social weUaie program was expanded to include war activities. The Council is now represented on the advisory committee of the Office of Civilian De- fense, the Treasury, the Office of Price Administra- tion, the Women's Interests Section of the War De- partment and other governmental agencies. The fight still goes on for legislation for social security, better housing, health, wage and hour legislation, and against lynching, the poll tax, and any infringement of civil liberties. The Council is among the leaders of a campaign for American participation in a post-war world order that will set- tle international problems without recourse to war. Through the aid of Port and Dock workers, many refugees and stateless families have been able to find relatives or friends in this country. During the year ending July, 1942, between ten and eleven thousand Jewish immigrants were admitted to me United States. -. More and more emphasis is being placed on the naturalization and Americanization oi aliens al- ready in the United States. The Council has re- sponded to the request of the government m ex- tending its naturalization service to many com- munities never reached before. Perhaps the most interesting feature of ^e serv- ice to the foreign-born is the gigantic master file at the Council's headquarters. This file contains in- formation from the 48 states and from all corners of the earth relating to families disrupted by war and Nazi persecution. This file was begun years ago when the Council undertook the task of locating relatives of Jewish families scattered from their na- tive villages in pogroms and other pennons. With sections in eVery part of the United States, the Council is able to gather information from even remote villages. Unquestionably, this master me will be of inestimable value in the post-war perioa. when a united effort wUl be made to locate and bring together the victims of concentration ana labor camps.

U. J-- Chemistry Building. As he went in he looked ai the symbolic figures of the elements curiously then ruefully shook his head. "I don't think.Ura- nium stands a chance carrying all that weignti The week was full of surprises. The two that stand out, of course, were the announcement by the American Jewish Committee withdrawing from the American Jewish Conference and the sudden resig- nation of David Ben-Gurion from the Jewish Agency. Mr. Ben-Gurion's resignation, tendered at a session of the Zionist Actions Committee, was re- jected and it is probable that Mr. Ben-Gurion will continue in office. Palestine newspapers, speaking of the resigna- tion, say that an internal crisis within the Jewish Agency has been brewing for some months. It all began, it seems, following Ben-Gurion's return from the United States. The Executive while refusing to accept Ben-Gurion's resignation have decided, says the report, to ask Dr. Weizmann, president of the Agency, to proceed from London to Palestine "as soon as possible." This would seem to link Dr. Weizmann in some manner with the trouble. The withdrawal of the American Jewish Commit- tee from the American Jewish Conference brings to an end the hope of that unanimity in American Jewry which ensued following the conclusions of the American Jewish Conference last August. At the end of the last war, the various factions of Ameri- can Jewry were able to make a united front, which seemingly is impossible of achievement now. The action of the committee in seceding from the American Jewish Conference was quickly fol- lowed by groups which opposed this action, seced- ing in turn from the American Jewish Committee. Hadassah, which met in national convention this week, adopted a resolution withdrawing from the American Jewish Committee membership. The Rabbinical Assembly of America also adopted a resolution severing its affiliation with the American Jewish Committee. The resolutions of the American Jewish Conference were also approved during the week by the executive committee of the Central Conference of American Rabbis at a meeting m Cincinnati. ,, So the issue is sharply drawn and we shall see what we shall see. Hadassah at its convention urged the inclusion of Jewish representatives in any United Nations conferences called to deal with Jewish matters and the immediate shipment of food to feed the starving survivors of the ghettos. Pierre van Paassen, who has just written a new book dealing with Palestine, addressed the Hadassah convention. He charged that "British Imperialism" had never in the course of Britain's mandatory regime sought for AraO- Jewish reconciliation, but has systematically sabo- taged every effort in that direction. 9 Argentina seems determined to offend al decent sensibilities. This week it was announced that the aovernor of Entre Rios province has issued an order banning all Jewish welfare and mutual aid groups "This action." says the report, "on the heels of the' recent ban on the Jewish press is part of a campaign to impress the people that anything.out- side of Catholicism is un-American e *" ential newspaper Prensa this week protested against auempts to ^traduce religious intolerance into ^The British section of the World Jewish Congress at itiT meeting in London this week adopted a IMO- STlB5P^Xi Red Army had SSbSa more than anything to the solution of these vicforieT This was the happiest aspect of SftaX in Germany behind the scenes. moth Re* ^^er reCurring attacks of malaria. a. a 5dn corner about that incident.

The Jewish Front: The withdrawal of the Ameri- can Jewish Committee from the American Jewish Conference may be just the first step in the direction of independent action by the Committee on Jewish matters concerning which no unity can be achieved . The storm raised by the withdrawal will not subside for a long time This at least is what Zionist leaders believe Zionist groups are de- termined to extend the fight against the American Jewish Committee throughout the country They are urging provincial Jewish leaders to make the withdrawal of the American Jewish Committee an issue in each of the local Jewish communities . The situation may become even more aggravated should the Jewish Labor Committee follow the ex- ample of the American Jewish Committee and also withdraw from the American Jewish Conference__ Such a possibility is not excluded, since the Jewish Labor Committee has for the time being refused to be represented on the executive body of the Interim Committee of the American Jewish Conference... Though not opposing Palestine, the Jewish Labor Committee is chiefly interested in the situation of the Jews in Nazi-held Europe and in what must be done immediately to alleviate their situation . This, Jewish labor leaders say, was not dealt with sufficiently by the American Jewish Conference ... The final decision of the Jewish Labor Committee is to be expected within the next week or so . The eyes of everyone interested in these develop- mnts are, naturally, directed toward the B'nai B'rith . Meanwhile, the fight between the American Jewish Committee and the American Jewish Con- ference is attracting unprecedented attention in non- Jewish circles One can say that the full-page advertisements in the metropolitan press by certain Jewish organizations have not attracted as much attention among non-Jews as the publicity given to the present internal Jewish strife. Mission to Palestine: The Hadassah convention which just concluded in New York discussed many subjects relating to its work in Palestine One subject, however, was not revealed to the delegates . We mean the resignation of Dr. J. L. Magnes from his post as a sort of a high commissioner of the American Hadassah in Palestine Few per- sons in the United States know that Mr. Magnes is the head of a committee in Palestine authorized to supervise the distribution of Hadassah funds there . Even fewer know that some leaders of the Ha- dassah in America have indicated to Dr. Magnes that his political views cannot be considered as going hand in hand with Hadassah interests . The result was a letter from Dr. Magnes to the Hadassah offering his resignation This letter, however, was not brought before the Hadassah convention for decision, though the Hadassah Board discussed it Can it be that the proposed trip to Palestine of Mrs. de Sola Pool has something to do with Dr. Magne's offer to resign? We understand that travel priorities for Mrs. de Sola Pool were sought even before the national board of Hadassah decided to send her to Palestine . Speaking of Mrs. de Sola Pool, we want to empha- size that many Hadassah delegates regret the fact that she is no longer the president of the organiza- tion ... It is acknowledged by all Zionists that she has done a very good job during her term of office. Ladder of Progress: No Jewish reader interested in the early progress of Jewish culture and civiliza- tion can afford not to read the book "The Ladder of Progress in Palestine" just published by Harpers . The author of this highly fascinating volume is Chester C. McCown, former director of the Ameri- can School of Oriental Research in Jerusalem, a leading authority on archaeology In an account of Palestinian archaeology, written chiefly for the lay reader, he gives a vivid picture of the develop- ment of Jewish culture both in the pre-Christian and Christian eras Though the subject treated in this book is scientific, each chapter makes easy and captivating reading ... The volume leaves no doubt as to the great role which the Jews played several thousand years ago in the progress of the world and substantiates many episodes of the niSie by scientific fdcts ... At the same time the author claims that certain facts in Jewish history, as de- scribed in the Bible, are not correct Th lj as- serts, for instance, that the fall of the walls of Jericho was due to nothing else but an earthguake ... He believes that archaeology does not discredit the Bible as a record of religious faith, but that it does orove that not all historical statements in the Bible are literally true ... To him archaeological research and historical study together make the Bible mtel- liaible and correct false notions about it. Archae- oloav is the handmaiden of history and interpreta- tion, the author says Whatever his views as a V ' II. * PAGE SIX vJmisli fhridOan \ FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 5, m AS CHAIR MA II OF JEWISH AGENCY (CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1) left his place at the presidium table, the meeting was tempo- rarily adjourned while the execu- tive committee of the Jewish Agency held a special meeting to consider the resignation.

NnTMT^MTTSIiIJlSoBUTLT- E' ALBERT PALLOT NOT LIKE ITMAY SEEM WRITES OF SCHOOLING Jewish Welfare Board work- ers occasionally receive odd re- quests, but Milton Kulick. JWB director in the Abilene. Tex., area, claims that the strangest yf*. was a recent demanrd made of him to furnish soldiers' fami- lies with live skunks. Seems a certain Pfc. J. R. Bin- nion called at the Fifth Street USO Club in Abilene and asked if the JWB would be good enough to forward a few skunks to sev- eral soldiers' families. Binnion's unit had collected the skunks, as well as several raccoons and armadillos, while on bivouac. Somehow the folks back home had got wind of the striped little stinkers, and were demanding them as pets. One time on bivouac Binnion and his men spied a mountain lion at a watering place but, says Mr. Kulick, some instinct re- strained them from taking that one home as a pet. "The skunks, unfortunately, have not been de-scented." Mr. Kulick points out, "and they will be shipped to the families who requested them in their full primeval glory. "Who would have thunk." he wants to know, "that the JWB would be asked to provide a skunk?" Ci.mbing steadily and rapidly n the ranks of the U. S. Army is Stanley Kolber, son of Mr. and Mrs. Abraham Kolber. 1244 Penn- sylvania Avenue. Advancing to a lieutenancy within nine months after entering as a private at Lamp Blanding, Fla., Lt. Kolber was one of the youngest among we graduates of the OCS at Ump Davis. N. C, being only 20 years of age. The former honor ?juaent of Miami High and the University of Miami received corporal stripes at Camp Haan. }'. before being selected for "CS. Lt. Kolber left Miami Sat- urday, after spending a 10-day leave with his family, to take up Ml new duties at Camp Stew- art. Ga. Cpl. Raymond Budman, 23. of Philadelphia, is the recipient of the Legion of Merit in recognition of his "initiative and sound judg- ment" in action on Guadalcanal. Serving as an assistant driver in a battalion pioneer section, Cpl. Budman is lauded for his will- ingness to engage in "any kind of work at any time, contributir/ materially to the successful op- eration of his unit." The citation accompanying the award to Budman relates how Budman, after his battalion had moved across the Matanikau River and proceeded over diffi- cult terrain in tropical heat to a designated point, voluntarily ac- companied a detail seeking much- needed water. Returning from the water hole, the party was ambushed and several men shot down. Despite the sudden ter- ror and confusion, Cpl. Budman "retained his presence of mind and was instrumental in leading the remainder of the group to safety." His suggestion that an automatic rifle be carried by one member of all small detachments was adopted for all operations on Guadalcanal. "His untiring ef- ficiency and his coolness in m\ ments of stress were of valuable assistance to his unit." S Sgt. Abe Beiman. 29. of Johnstown, Pa., a member of the Army Air Corps for the past five years, is being held a captive in the Philippines. Capt. Samuel Bloom, 33. of Brooklyn, is a prisoner of the Japanese, captured when Corregi- dor fell.

S. O. TO MEN IN CASABLANCA The following letter was re- ceived by Nat Blumbcrg this week from Lt. (j. g.) E. Albert Pallot upon receipt of a New Year's resolution containing greetings from sixty-odd of his local friends. Lt. Pallot served as president of the YMHA and the B'nai B'rith. Dear Nat: To say I am thrilled at receiv- ing the wonderful New Year's letter from you plus the endorse- ment of Jack and sixty-three of my friends, is placing it mildly. Doris and Roxane join me in wishing all of you the happiest, most prosperous and successful New Year, devoid of sorrow and full of good health and joy. I am getting along very well and thoroughly enjoying my training. Finish this, my fourth school, shortly. First, Dartmouth College; second, Princeton Uni- versity; third. Armed Guard School at Boston, and when I leave here I go to Shell Beach, La., for anti-aircraft practice. Upon completing that course, to Armed Guard School at New Or- leans for two months, after which I expect to be placed in command of the gun crew on one of the new Victory ships. For the past few weeks I have been instructing enlisted crews in gunnery. Until I can personally see and thank my friends, please extend to all of them my New Year's wishes. Sincerely, Al. TRI-POWER PRAYING IS HEARD AT CAMP DAVIS When it comes to inter-faith accord, you can't beat Camp Davis, N. C. If you visited Chapel No. 4 at Camp Davis one day recently, you could have watched a Catholic conference and a Protestant lecture going on at the same time, and you would have heard the loud, clear note of a Shofar in the background. Chaplain Ralph Blumenthal was sounding the ram's horn as part of a High Holy Day service he was conducting for soldiers in the center of that auditorium. In another room of the same chapel a group of Catholics were conferring on plans and projects under the leadership of Chaplain Bernard McLaughlin, while a group of Protestant chaplains listened to a lecture by Chaplain V. F. Perry. WAR RECORDS COMMITTEE NAT ROTH, Chairman FRED SHOCHET MRS- GEORGE M. COHEN MAURICE GROSSMAN JENNIE H. ROTFORT NATHAN ROTHBERO J. W. B. Director OFFICERS SAM BLANK, CHAIRMAN MONTE SELIO.

He liked soldiers, especially American soldiers, and he hung around them. Down in Casa- blanca soldiers get lonesome. They like to have kids around. Cpl. Sol Peshkin named him "G. I.," and all the boys in Sol's company began setting some money aside from their pay- checks each month for "G. I.'s" education. When the men changed barracks, "G. I." packed up and moved along with them. "G. I.," according to a letter Cpl. Peshkin sent home recently, has had strict military training from the men. He wears G. I. clothes. He has worked himself up through the ranks to sergeant. When he /alutes. it's pretty snappy, and recently he stood at attention like a veteran while a good conduct medal was pinned on him. He is also a little USO club in himself when it comes to enter- tainmenthe can lead a band like a professional, and he can dance. "He's a bright, versatile lad." in Cpl. Peshkin's words, "and there isn't anything he can't do. There isn't a soul in this camp who doesn't think he's wonder- ful." "G. I.," an African boy, is eight years old. Lt. Morton Macks, of Oakland.

Shubin shot down two and then found himself alone as the other three American planes were forced by lack of ammuni- tion and damage to retire. For three-quarters of an hour Lt. Shubin fought five Zeros and "with brilliant maneuvering and frugal use of ammunition" pro- ceeded to demolish them one by one. With a single burst he shat- tered one Zero and then from a steep spiral dive scored a full de- flection shot on another, destroy- ing it. An aeronautical engineer be- fore he joined the Air Corps two years ago, Shubin is a Phi Beta Kappa alumnus of Kenyon Col- lege (Ohio) and is affiliated with Rodef Shalom Temple of Pitts- burgh. Lt.

"I am deeply conscious of what I am fighting for and would not sit at home if I could. What I fight for is not an abstraction to me. (It is) man's intense desire to protect those he holds dearest . the fact that I may die while I am protecting you does not ap- pall me in the least." Assistant Engineer Ira Simon Mason. 42, of Newport, R. I., pre- viously listed as missing and for a time reported dead, is a pris- oner of the Japanese, although his vessel was torpedoed by the Germans. Previous to his entry in the Merchant Marine, Mason was an employe of the Texas Oil Co. and had been serving as as- sistant engineer on an oil tanker. PAGE EIGHT v.kwisl-ncrtdtotn FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 5, NOTES OF Y. M. #/. A -by- SAM SILVER Gee, it's swell to see the lights turned on again in the downtown area! It has been ages since the city looked so bright. Let's hope and pray that the lights will be turned on again "all over the world" real soon. By the way, speaking of lights-brings to mind that it would be fun to have some night baseball games at the "Y" now that the dim-out restrictions have been lifted. How's about it? Youth Rally Those of you who didn't spend some time at the "Y" last Sunday really missed a treat. The "Y" and the Youth Council put on an all-day youth rally which was tremendously successful. Approx- imately one hundred young pen- pie participated in this affair There were Boy Scouts. B'nai B'rith girls. A. Z. A. boys. Tn Betas and Independents among the participants. Mr. Raymond Reese, boys' secretary oi the Y. M. C. A., was the guesl speaker at the luncheon. His subject was "Teen Troubles" and he spoke so enthusiastically that he kept the audience spellbound Mr. Reese stressed the necessity of a normal life for teen-agers, and expressed the belief that much racial hatred and bigotry was the result of abnormal con- dition.-such as war time, de- pressions, and the like. In the afternoon. George Chertkof, chairman of the Y board of directors acted as moderator in a forui i on juvenile delinquency and the curfew. This was per- haps the first time such problems have been presented to the young people of this community for dis- cussion and. believe you me. it was a wise move because some of the youngsters offend some practical and rational solutions to our local juvenile situation In addition to the cultural aspects of the program, social and ath- letic events were held. Three A. Z. A. teams and one Inde- pendent outfit participated in a basketball tournament, with Mi- ami Chapter No. 322 defeating Royal Palm Chapter. Miami Beach. 33 to 22. in the finals. Murry Spill of Royal Palm Chap- ter won the handball tournament, while Band of Miami No. 322 won boys' ping pong, and Band and H. Berkowitz of Miami No. 322 won horseshoes. Then were also girls' volley ball and t contests. Thanks of the Y are extended to Lester Lasky, George Chertkof. Alex Cohen. Sirs Alex Cohen. Marx Fcinberg. Maurice Grossman, Mrs Maurice (ir man.

SHOCHET, Managing Editor Subscription1 Year, $2.00 Six Months, $1.00 MIAMI, FLORIDA, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 5, 1943 CHESHVAN 7. 5704 VOLUME 16 NUMBER 45 THE BALFOUR DECLARATION 'Twenty-six years ago in the midst of a world at war, the government of the British Commonwealth of Nations, looking to the day when peace would be restored and inspired with the desire to right an ancient wrong, issued the Balfour Declaration. This solemn covenant and undertaking to help in the reestablishment of the Jewish National Home in Palestine was subsequently endorsed by 52 nations, including by unanimous resolution the Congress of the United States. They came to a land of past glory but present decay, whose natural fertility had been destroyed by encroaching swamps and desert sands; whose hills had been denuded of trees; and whose cities had dwindled into mean and stagnant townships. In the course of a pioneering achievement unequalled in present-day colonization, they drained swamps and planted forests. They irrigated the dry land, developed agriculture and industry, and built cities. In the years that followed, hundreds of thousands of Europe's Jews found refuge and a home in Palestine." It is altogether fitting as the observance of Balfour Week is noted, that the Miami Zionist District initiated a constructive move that will concretely aid the Zionist cause at a time when it is needed most. At a meeting to be held next week, a proposal to heads of local houses of worship will be made similar to action of synagogues in other parts of the country, to enroll the membership of these institutions as a unit in the Zionist organization. The Zionist cause faces its most difficult period in its years of intensive effort in behalf of the National Homeland. The importance and weight that the action of any group bears depends upon its strength. In this instance numerical strength is all important. Dr. Stephen S. Wise, this week, at Balfour Day Meeting in New York, aptly said: "This is a day of joyous remembrance and of mournful reflection; joyous remembrance of the issuance of a great instrument, a charter which after the World War gave to the Jewish people a new hope and a new opportunity; mournful reflection because Balfour's England has not presided over the Palestine government throughout the more than a quarter of a century that has passed. Too often, and most especially at this moment, the Jewish rebuilders of Palestine have had not facilitation nor furtherance from that Palestine government which may have represented the Colonial office, but has utterly misrepresented the spirit of Balfour's England and the English people. Had the British instead of the Palestine government cooperated with us, Palestine today might in every sense be Jewish, as President Wilson said to me in 1918 he expected Palestine again to come. "But one thing more remains to be said. There might have been a Jewish Palestine today, if Jews of influence and power and circumstance had given their furtherance and their facilitation to the rebuilding of the Jewish National Home. These have failed us but the Jewish National Home is being created. It will be, provided the Jews of the world over deeply care and greatly help, provided the United Nations act in the spirit of the Atlantic Charter." With manpower shortage as prevalent and the innumerable additional channels in which the civic, patriotic and spiritual minded individual must lend his efforts, makes mandatory planning to do the most with the least effort. All the religious organizations are firm believers in Zionism and that for which it stands. Co-operation to effect the enrollment of the membership rosters of our local institutions must be given. Jewish Religious Education By RABBI SIMON APRIL Spiritual Leader Congregation Schaarei Zedik (Kditor's Note: This iM another in a MHM of artlclea by the Hiiiritual loaders of fJrater Miami.) "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom." Psalm 111:10. "The goal of wisdom is repentance and good deeds."Talmud Brachoth 17a. Jewish religious education calls for two things, earnest consideration and concerted action. Israel's kingdom is a kingdom of the spirit; and Israel's history is not a story of fire, whirlwind or earthquake, but of the still, small voice, the voice of conscience, the voice of God. Religious education alone can rear the spiritual ramparts of that kingdom and insure a continuity of the Jewish spirit. "As long as the sound of little children repeating the Shema or Shemang is heard within the walls of Jewish schools and synagogue," say the Rabbis, "all the Balaams and Hamans in the world cannot prevail against Israel." Where Jewish schools are, alas deserted and Jewish children are prevented from learning the Shema. as the Hamans have succeeded in doing first in Germany, later in many other countries, the outlook for Israel is dark indeed. More than to any other people or church, religious education is a question of life and death to the congregation of Jacob. In the past, the Jew had translated literally the words of the Mishnah in Peoh, 1. "Talmud Torah K'neged Kulom" which means that the study of the Torah is equal to them all; the study of the Torah outweighs all the ethical precepts enumerated in that Mishnah, because the Torah is itself the sum and concept of all ethical law. The duty of religious education is emphasized in the Shema ("and thou shalt teach them diligently to thy children") and it is thereby placed on the same level as the proclamation of the Unity of God and the command, "Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all they soul and with all thy might." Today more than ever before religious education has become of paramount. Never before has the school been of such vital importance; the school of today will decide the future of our race. Within a few years our youth will be men and women If, in their case, the battle for Judaism is lost during their school life, what hope have we to keep them within the ranks of Israel, loyal and true in the days to come? The religious factor in education is the strongest of all motives that make for moral strength, self control and character. The weal or woe of our children thus depends upon the religious equipment with which they start on the journey of life. It is, therefore, the duty of every Jewish father and mother to understand at least the foundation of Jewish religious education as well as the aim toward which wo are to train our children in the way they should go. One brief verse of the Psalmist, restated in various forms by the Biblical sages, wonderfully expresses the foundation of Jewish education: "Reishes chochmoh yiras od hosheim""the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom." Judaism maintains that the wisdom of man is a sheer and utter vanity, unless it is conditioned by "the fear of the Lord," unless it is accompanied by reverent submission to the will in the service of higher things. The Jewish child was. and should therefore be taught to look upon life as a discipline demanding unconditional obedience to Divine commandments. Thou salt, and thou shalt not. involving a constant sacrifice of selfish inclinations for the sake of principle. In such discipline lies the road of educational salvation out of the moral chaos in our own age. Only by inculcating in the souls of our young loyal obedience to Divine laws that are absolute and unchangeable can we hope to stem the waters of animalism and heathenism that today threaten the higher life of man. Listen to the words of two outstand men. One of the great statesmen of our age says. "Our youth of today, perhaps more than ever on account of the misery that we have been reaping now for the sowing of a few years ago, requires a discipline which is more severe, more drastic, more hardening in spiritual things, than has been called for by any generation in the last century." The other, an illustrious Jewish scientist, Professor Haffkine. says, "Jewish youths are often under the impression that restraint is tyrannical and illiberal. The stores of observation and thought accumulated by farsighted elders which arc essential for guarding the destinies of a nation are not perceivable to the young, because they lack the experience and above all the necessary knowledge." These two opinions are best illustrated by our prophet Jeremiah in the words "tov lagever ki yiso ol binoorov""it is good for a man that he bear the yoke in his youth." It is a vindication of the basic principle of Jewish education: "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom." If the fear of the Lord is the foundation of Jewish religious education, what is its purpose goal and aim? The goal in the training of our youth is not the acquisition of skill, power or wealth. These things may be good in their place, but they arc not the primary ends either of education or of life. The primary aim fit Jewish education is the consecration of the Jewish child to Judaism, and his preparation for a life of beneficence for Israel and humanity. Jewish education must not end with the Bar Mitzvah ceremony FRIDAY, NOVEMBER S, -TIDBITS FROM EVER iPJhicJtbj, Confidential -By PHINEAS J.

JEWISH NEWS The Zionist Emergency Committee, now clicking on all cylinders under the leadership of Dr. Abba H.

All the publicity distortions notwithstanding, the decision of the interim sessions of the American Jewish Conference, concluded last week, amounts to this: The Conference has been put on ice and will function through its several constituent organizations until the next session What happened to that slogan of "Unity"?

LITERARY DEPARTMENT Now that Pierre van Paassen's new. book, "The Forgotten Ally," is sweeping the country, we may tell you that before its publication efforts were made to suppress it ... It is a matter of record that it was the late Hebrew literary critic, Reuben Brainin, who discovered and sponsored Saul Tchernichovsky, the Hebrew poet who recently passed away .. Yet the local Hebrew press ignored this biographical fact... The Hebraists who have delved in Jewish politics cannot forget that Reuben Brainin, during the last years of his life, administered some public spankings to them for their reactionaryism Probably they would have tempered their eulogies of Tchernichovsky if they had known that the Hebrew poet left instructions for the posthumous return to the Finnish government of the decoration it had bestowed upon him Brainin and Tchernichovsky saw eye to eye on international affairs Strange, but true: The Norwegian Nobel Prize winner, Sigrid Undset, now living in this country, wrote a splendid article on anti-Semitism after the war ... Yet in her conclusion, when she appeals for support to destroy anti-Semitism, she carefully avoids mentioning Russia Could it be true that Mme. Undset is, as we have heard said, violently anti-Soviet?

Machtei, who has lived in and served the Jewish community of Greater Miami for the last 13 years and intimately familiar with the problems of the Jewish community and of its citizens, has accepted the invitation of Mount Nebo to become its director and to administer its affairs, it was announced this week by cemetery officials. In a statement issued at the Mount Nebo office, 914 Olympia Building, Rabbi Machtei said: "Every man prides himself on being his family's champion. He stands between them and all their problems. He wouldn't cause them an unnecessary moment of anguish, the shedding of an extra tea In fact, his life is devoted and dedicated to sparing them any and all anxiety, pain or anguish. "In my work I have observed the anguish of widows and of children who were suddenly Faced With immediate need of B burial plot for the head of the house. I have noted their confusion because the 'provider 1 had overlooked providing a future home for the family, in advance of need. When Mount Nebo invited me to become its managing director, I accepted in the hope that I could be of service to my neighbors, for I know from experience that the emotional strain of the family in its darkest hour can be eased by intelligent advance planning. "Mount Nebo fills a definite need in the community and renders a distinctive service, respecting the religious scruples of all shades in Judaism and emphasizing the bonds of the family group at all times." The burial estates of Mounf Nebo located at West Flagler Street and 54th Avenue, located ten minutes from the heart of Miami, are beautifully landscaped and accessible by bus.

NOVEMBER 5. 1943 1,1 I PAGE FIVE FJJ. by MARTIN SILVER IT MODUS. WEEK BY MILTON BROWN Copyright, 1943, Jewish Telegraph Agency, Inc. BETWEEN YOU AMD ME BY BORIS SMOLAR Copyright, 1943, Jewish Telegraph Agency, Inc. (Concluded from Last Week) The reconstruction program included the work i t wo units of social service experts who studied st-war conditions in London, Paris and other large rrnDean cities and visited internment and refus' camps. Between 1920 and 1923 more than fiSOOO individuals were given aid at the great port lies and helped to become naturalized American citizens. The Council endorsed the entrance of the United i States into the International Labor Organization d the League of Nations and consistently sup' oorted social aspects of the league. At mat time, Councils had been formed in Australia, Greece and Turkey, and the Council was active in England, Holland, France, Italy and other European countries. With' the deepening of the depression, social and welfare services were greatly increased. The Council's program included creation of employment, financial relief, emergency training courses, special free classes for the unemployed, participation in stay-in-school campaign and in the feeding of undernourished children. The Council joined the National Peace Conference and gave its support to trade agreements to ease economic tension and favored the embargo on war materials to aggressors. The Council petitioned President Roosevelt to take a firm stand on the Japanese question, to impose sanctions on Italy, and to aid the Spanish Loyalists. During the early days of Hitler's regime, the Council's Port and Dock workers helped about 2,000 refugees annually through their first difficult hours in a strange land. This number increased to 16,225 by 1939. When American was again involved in world war the Council's president, Mrs. Maurice L. Goldman issued an appeal to American Jewish women to carry on the CouncU's fivefold program while bending aU energies to win the war. The social weUaie program was expanded to include war activities. The Council is now represented on the advisory committee of the Office of Civilian Defense, the Treasury, the Office of Price Administration, the Women's Interests Section of the War Department and other governmental agencies. The fight still goes on for legislation for social security, better housing, health, wage and hour legislation, and against lynching, the poll tax, and any infringement of civil liberties. The Council is among the leaders of a campaign for American participation in a post-war world order that will settle international problems without recourse to war. Through the aid of Port and Dock workers, many refugees and stateless families have been able to find relatives or friends in this country. During the year ending July, 1942, between ten and eleven thousand Jewish immigrants were admitted to me United States. -. More and more emphasis is being placed on the naturalization and Americanization oi aliens already in the United States. The Council has responded to the request of the government m extending its naturalization service to many communities never reached before. Perhaps the most interesting feature of ^e service to the foreign-born is the gigantic master file at the Council's headquarters. This file contains information from the 48 states and from all corners of the earth relating to families disrupted by war and Nazi persecution. This file was begun years ago when the Council undertook the task of locating relatives of Jewish families scattered from their native villages in pogroms and other pennons. With sections in eVery part of the United States, the Council is able to gather information from even remote villages. Unquestionably, this master me will be of inestimable value in the post-war perioa. when a united effort wUl be made to locate and bring together the victims of concentration ana labor camps. Secretary of the Treasury Henry u Morgenthau has appeared so often on the radio that he feared he might be violating some union code. 80 *?F plied, through the usual channels, for membership in the American Federation of Radio Artists When the august secretary's name came up. the astounded board instantly voted him honorary membership in the AFRA. George Jessel was chairman of the panel on "Humor and the Films" scheduled in the U. U. J- Chemistry Building. As he went in he looked ai the symbolic figures of the elements curiously then ruefully shook his head. "I don't think.Uranium stands a chance carrying all that weignti The week was full of surprises. The two that stand out, of course, were the announcement by the American Jewish Committee withdrawing from the American Jewish Conference and the sudden resignation of David Ben-Gurion from the Jewish Agency. Mr. Ben-Gurion's resignation, tendered at a session of the Zionist Actions Committee, was rejected and it is probable that Mr. Ben-Gurion will continue in office. Palestine newspapers, speaking of the resignation, say that an internal crisis within the Jewish Agency has been brewing for some months. It all began, it seems, following Ben-Gurion's return from the United States. The Executive while refusing to accept Ben-Gurion's resignation have decided, says the report, to ask Dr. Weizmann, president of the Agency, to proceed from London to Palestine "as soon as possible." This would seem to link Dr. Weizmann in some manner with the trouble. The withdrawal of the American Jewish Committee from the American Jewish Conference brings to an end the hope of that unanimity in American Jewry which ensued following the conclusions of the American Jewish Conference last August. At the end of the last war, the various factions of American Jewry were able to make a united front, which seemingly is impossible of achievement now. The action of the committee in seceding from the American Jewish Conference was quickly followed by groups which opposed this action, seceding in turn from the American Jewish Committee. Hadassah, which met in national convention this week, adopted a resolution withdrawing from the American Jewish Committee membership. The Rabbinical Assembly of America also adopted a resolution severing its affiliation with the American Jewish Committee. The resolutions of the American Jewish Conference were also approved during the week by the executive committee of the Central Conference of American Rabbis at a meeting m Cincinnati. ,, So the issue is sharply drawn and we shall see what we shall see. Hadassah at its convention urged the inclusion of Jewish representatives in any United Nations conferences called to deal with Jewish matters and the immediate shipment of food to feed the starving survivors of the ghettos. Pierre van Paassen, who has just written a new book dealing with Palestine, addressed the Hadassah convention. He charged that "British Imperialism" had never in the course of Britain's mandatory regime sought for AraOJewish reconciliation, but has systematically sabotaged every effort in that direction. 9 Argentina seems determined to offend al decent sensibilities. This week it was announced that the aovernor of Entre Rios province has issued an order banning all Jewish welfare and mutual aid groups "This action." says the report, "on the heels of the' recent ban on the Jewish press is part of a campaign to impress the people that anything.outside of Catholicism is un-American !" e !" ential newspaper Prensa this week protested against auempts to ^traduce religious intolerance into ^The British section of the World Jewish Congress at itiT meeting in London this week adopted a IMOSTlB5P^£Xi Red Army had SSbSa more than anything to the solution of these vicforieT This was the happiest aspect of SftaX in Germany behind the scenes. moth Re ^^er reC urring attacks of malaria. a. a 5dn corner about that incident.

The Jewish Front: The withdrawal of the American Jewish Committee from the American Jewish Conference may be just the first step in the direction of independent action by the Committee on Jewish matters concerning which no unity can be achieved The storm raised by the withdrawal will not subside for a long time This at least is what Zionist leaders believe Zionist groups are determined to extend the fight against the American Jewish Committee throughout the country They are urging provincial Jewish leaders to make the withdrawal of the American Jewish Committee an issue in each of the local Jewish communities The situation may become even more aggravated should the Jewish Labor Committee follow the example of the American Jewish Committee and also withdraw from the American Jewish Conference Such a possibility is not excluded, since the Jewish Labor Committee has for the time being refused to be represented on the executive body of the Interim Committee of the American Jewish Conference... Though not opposing Palestine, the Jewish Labor Committee is chiefly interested in the situation of the Jews in Nazi-held Europe and in what must be done immediately to alleviate their situation This, Jewish labor leaders say, was not dealt with sufficiently by the American Jewish Conference ... The final decision of the Jewish Labor Committee is to be expected within the next week or so The eyes of everyone interested in these developmnts are, naturally, directed toward the B'nai B'rith Meanwhile, the fight between the American Jewish Committee and the American Jewish Conference is attracting unprecedented attention in nonJewish circles One can say that the full-page advertisements in the metropolitan press by certain Jewish organizations have not attracted as much attention among non-Jews as the publicity given to the present internal Jewish strife. Mission to Palestine: The Hadassah convention which just concluded in New York discussed many subjects relating to its work in Palestine One subject, however, was not revealed to the delegates We mean the resignation of Dr. J. L. Magnes from his post as a sort of a high commissioner of the American Hadassah in Palestine Few persons in the United States know that Mr. Magnes is the head of a committee in Palestine authorized to supervise the distribution of Hadassah funds there Even fewer know that some leaders of the Hadassah in America have indicated to Dr. Magnes that his political views cannot be considered as going hand in hand with Hadassah interests The result was a letter from Dr. Magnes to the Hadassah offering his resignation This letter, however, was not brought before the Hadassah convention for decision, though the Hadassah Board discussed it Can it be that the proposed trip to Palestine of Mrs. de Sola Pool has something to do with Dr. Magne's offer to resign? We understand that travel priorities for Mrs. de Sola Pool were sought even before the national board of Hadassah decided to send her to Palestine Speaking of Mrs. de Sola Pool, we want to emphasize that many Hadassah delegates regret the fact that she is no longer the president of the organization ... It is acknowledged by all Zionists that she has done a very good job during her term of office. Ladder of Progress: No Jewish reader interested in the early progress of Jewish culture and civilization can afford not to read the book "The Ladder of Progress in Palestine" just published by Harpers The author of this highly fascinating volume is Chester C. McCown, former director of the American School of Oriental Research in Jerusalem, a leading authority on archaeology In an account of Palestinian archaeology, written chiefly for the lay reader, he gives a vivid picture of the development of Jewish culture both in the pre-Christian and Christian eras Though the subject treated in this book is scientific, each chapter makes easy and captivating reading ... The volume leaves no doubt as to the great role which the Jews played several thousand years ago in the progress of the world and substantiates many episodes of the niSie by scientific fdcts ... At the same time the author claims that certain facts in Jewish history, as described in the Bible, are not correct Th lj asserts, for instance, that the fall of the walls of Jericho was due to nothing else but an earthguake ... He believes that archaeology does not discredit the Bible as a record of religious faith, but that it does orove that not all historical statements in the Bible are literally true ... To him archaeological research and historical study together make the Bible mtelliaible and correct false notions about it. Archaeoloav is the handmaiden of history and interpretation, the author says Whatever his views as a V PAGE 1 PAGE TWO *Jewist noridian FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 5, I SOCIAL ITEMS AND PERSONALS LI_-_'I.I.I ..........-^^. xyxyi ACTION UNDERWAY TO RESCUE RABBIS *%^^*%fr^%l%S%0l>fr PAGE 1 II.

Ben-Gurion's resignation has stirred up much discussion here in the press and among Zionist circles, official and otherwise.

JWB director in the Abilene. Tex., area, claims that the strangest y f*. was a recent demanrd made of him to furnish soldiers' families with live skunks. Seems a certain Pfc. J. R. Binnion called at the Fifth Street USO Club in Abilene and asked if the JWB would be good enough to forward a few skunks to several soldiers' families. Binnion's unit had collected the skunks, as well as several raccoons and armadillos, while on bivouac. Somehow the folks back home had got wind of the striped little stinkers, and were demanding them as pets. One time on bivouac Binnion and his men spied a mountain lion at a watering place but, says Mr. Kulick, some instinct restrained them from taking that one home as a pet. "The skunks, unfortunately, have not been de-scented." Mr. Kulick points out, "and they will be shipped to the families who requested them in their full primeval glory. "Who would have thunk." he wants to know, "that the JWB would be asked to provide a skunk?" Ci.mbing steadily and rapidly n the ranks of the U. S. Army is Stanley Kolber, son of Mr. and Mrs. Abraham Kolber. 1244 Pennsylvania Avenue. Advancing to a lieutenancy within nine months after entering as a private at Lamp Blanding, Fla., Lt.

Serving as an assistant driver in a battalion pioneer section, Cpl. Budman is lauded for his willingness to engage in "any kind of work at any time, contributir/ materially to the successful operation of his unit." The citation accompanying the award to Budman relates how Budman, after his battalion had moved across the Matanikau River and proceeded over difficult terrain in tropical heat to a designated point, voluntarily accompanied a detail seeking muchneeded water. Returning from the water hole, the party was ambushed and several men shot down. Despite the sudden terror and confusion, Cpl. Budman "retained his presence of mind and was instrumental in leading the remainder of the group to safety." His suggestion that an automatic rifle be carried by one member of all small detachments was adopted for all operations on Guadalcanal. "His untiring efficiency and his coolness in m\ ments of stress were of valuable assistance to his unit." S Sgt.

An aeronautical engineer before he joined the Air Corps two years ago, Shubin is a Phi Beta Kappa alumnus of Kenyon College (Ohio) and is affiliated with Rodef Shalom Temple of Pittsburgh. Lt. (j.g.) Wallace M. Bonapart. 26, of Los Angeles, a naval officer serving in the South Pacific, has been killed in action. A letter he wrote to his parents as a "last testament" received national prominence in the press recently. "My primary thoughts out here are of life," he wrote. "I am deeply conscious of what I am fighting for and would not sit at home if I could. What I fight for is not an abstraction to me. (It is) man's intense desire to protect those he holds dearest the fact that I may die while I am protecting you does not appall me in the least." Assistant Engineer Ira Simon Mason. 42, of Newport, R. I., previously listed as missing and for a time reported dead, is a prisoner of the Japanese, although his vessel was torpedoed by the Germans. Previous to his entry in the Merchant Marine, Mason was an employe of the Texas Oil Co. and had been serving as assistant engineer on an oil tanker.

It has been ages since the city looked so bright. Let's hope and pray that the lights will be turned on again "all over the world" real soon. By the way, speaking of lights-brings to mind that it would be fun to have some night baseball games at the "Y" now that the dim-out restrictions have been lifted. How's about it? Youth Rally Those of you who didn't spend some time at the "Y" last Sunday really missed a treat. The "Y" and the Youth Council put on an all-day youth rally which was tremendously successful. Approximately one hundred young penpie participated in this affair There were Boy Scouts. B'nai B'rith girls. A. Z. A. boys. Tn Betas and Independents among the participants. Mr. Raymond Reese, boys' secretary oi the Y. M. C. A., was the guesl speaker at the luncheon. His subject was "Teen Troubles" and he spoke so enthusiastically that he kept the audience spellbound Mr. Reese stressed the necessity of a normal life for teen-agers, and expressed the belief that much racial hatred and bigotry was the result of abnormal condition.-such as war time, depressions, and the like. In the afternoon. George Chertkof, chairman of the Y board of directors acted as moderator in a forui i on juvenile delinquency and the curfew. This was perhaps the first time such problems have been presented to the young people of this community for discussion and. believe you me. it was a wise move because some of the youngsters offend some practical and rational solutions to our local juvenile situation In addition to the cultural aspects of the program, social and athletic events were held. Three A. Z. A. teams and one Independent outfit participated in a basketball tournament, with Miami Chapter No. 322 defeating Royal Palm Chapter. Miami Beach. 33 to 22. in the finals. Murry Spill of Royal Palm Chapter won the handball tournament, while Band of Miami No. 322 won boys' ping pong, and Band and H. Berkowitz of Miami No. 322 won horseshoes. Then were also girls' volley ball and t contests. Thanks of the Y are extended to Lester Lasky, George Chertkof. Alex Cohen. Sirs Alex Cohen. Marx Fcinberg. Maurice Grossman, Mrs Maurice (ir man.

Seriously. it's a play being presented by the Sigma Rho Chapter of A. Z. A. this Sunday evening. The boys have put a lot of work into "Zygomyotous." and I think it will be worth your while to watch the young Barrymores perform. Immediately following the play, the Youth Council will hold a dance.

And from his first column we note that his predecessor Harry Schwartz, kept the column going for six years. We haven't the pleasure oi knowing M r Schwartz, but having put uj j trick of holding up a column for a fraction of his six years we have a vague idea of wnat it entailed. And if the average individual doesn't stop to think of what it means to pass a deadline week and week out, when news is plentiful, and things are as dead as doornails and words must be ground out with as mucn effort as would be required to dig a ditch, we do. Some how, there is always some one to pick up where we leave offwith a bagful of good ideas and intentions. Once in a while we get a pat on the back and buckle down to the typewriter with renewed vigor and enthusiasm. More often than not we grind out the weekly stint without knowing whether the effort is worth the candle, or whether any one reads the column. So here we have a word of commendation for Mr. Schwartz, from a fellow-drudge, and a word of cheer to Sam Silvermay his news never run dry, and his pen never falter. m A E E T N R Tluuiu for REST CONVALESCENCE onjCHRONICCASES ONElAlDAY VITAMIN JSLTABLBTS THINK mt Ml Tow mln* Ian d4llr rwulmmau of A an4 D Vitamin* or of B Cenplex VitamisM. la m leaeaat tafcUt RnMtabar tfce Mm OKB-A-DAT (brand) Vitamin TaMota. un Ray Park Health Resort SIMOFOK OOKUT( Ml US NERVINE f|0 TENSK ~Jo Wekefel.

Rabbi Moses Mecheloff I State of New York, who declared the 26th anniversary of the issu-1 will speak on the "Effect of Pal-1 that "now, even more than after the last war, it is essential that a way be found to open the doors of Palestine." Miss Dorothy Thompson, commentator on international affairs, asserted that the first step toward disentanglement of the problems of the Near East "must be a clearCU t division of the political spheres of sovereignty of Jews and Arabs," as clearly implied in the Balfour Declaration. Declaring that the gathering was an occasion for "joyous remembrance and mournful reflection," Dr. Stephen S. Wise asserted that "had the British instead of the Palestine government co-operated with us, Palestine today might in every sense be Jewish, as President Wilson said to me in 1918 he expected Palestine again to become." He also asserted that "if Jews of influence and power and circumstance such as they who recently withdrew from the American Jewish Conference" had given "their furtherance and their facilitation to the rebuilding of the Jewish national home" there "might have been a Jewish Palestine today." Dr. Goldstein, newly elected president of the ZOA, criticized "irresponsible" suggestions proposing the transfer of Arabs from Palestine to Iraq as unauthorized by "any responsible Jewish body here or abroad." He said they "emanated" from the same irresponsible elements which announced that Rumanian Jews could be saved at $50 a head and which recently brought hundreds of rabbis to Washington on the spurious assurance that the President would receive them. Zionist District. The program of activities includes late Friday evening services dedicated by the Miami Beach Jewish Community Center to the district, with Rabbi Lehrman preaching the sermon on "Palestinea Glorious Venture." All members of the Beach Zionist District will participate. On Saturday, the services at the Beth Jacob Synagogue will carry a note of sorrow over the plight of European Jewry, and in ins sermon Rabbi Mescheloff will discuss the congregation's obligation and moral duty to further the task of creating a national Jewish homeland as a refuge and as a guarantee against the slaughter of innocents as witnessed in the last decade. These activities are in accord with a message issued by the Synagogue Council of America, whose president.
