New York (JTA)—Rabbi Frederick A. Dopplet of Temple B'nai Israel, Klmira, N. Y., was cited by former President Herbert Hoover as not only one of the most active workers for the Finnish Relief Fund in upper New York State but as being ready to endure hardship himself in the drive for funds for the aid of Finland.

Rabbi Dopplet, is was diclosed at Finnish Relief Fund Headquarters, first made a radio appeal in Elmira which raised $200.

He then wrote Hoover that he had "underestimated the innate sympathy and regard" that Americans of all faiths had for Finland, and enclosed a check for 11,0 00 representing further contributions.

He was so successful, in fact, that a committee from the neighboring towns of Van Etten and Spencer — which contain numerous Finns — asked the Rabbi to address their mass m e e t i ng to raise further funds. The Rabbi, Mr. Hoover disclosed at h e a dq u a r t e r s here, had to drive through a blinding up-State blizzard to address the meeting.

By BORIS SMOLAK JTA CHIEF CORRESPONDENT" Paris (JTA)—German decrees drafting all able-bodied Jews in Nazi Poland and 80,000 Jews In Berlin were declared by well-informed quarters here this week to be connected with a project for construction of a llerlln-Moscow automobile highway tlirough oland.

Plans for the road have been completed, it was said, and the highway will be important in accelerating shipment of Soviet commodities to Germany by truck, sunlementing Russia's inefficient railway system.

An o f f i c i a l announcement broadcast by German radio stations said all able-bodied Jews in Nazi Poland would be liable for two years' service in labor battalions to be set up tor carry out special tasks. (The decree authorizing the draft was issued by Dr. Frank, Governor-General of Nazi Poland, from his headquarters in Cracow, according to advices reaching Amsterdam.)

A second radio announcement said: "Of the 100,000 Jews still in Berlin, 30,000 will be organized for public works." (Twenty-two thousand Jewa have already been put to work in Berlin at snow removal and street cleaning, according to a British newsbroadcast and other sources. It is understood they are being paid at a small hourly rate.)

To ensure the effectiveness .of the draft, Nazi newspapers announced that Jews in the Reich who did not work would not be permitted to receive relief. Relief for Jews is financed by the Berlin Jewish Community.

Paris (JTA)—The Nazi authorities have acted to begin expulsion of 90,000 Jews from Bohemia-Moravia on February 1 by sending to Prague a leader of the Gestapo, Herr Klein, who organized the removal of Jews from Ma«risch-Ostrau to the Lublin Jewish "reservation" in ! Poland, accordto advices reaching Paris.

Funeral Rites URGE ALASKA Hold for Himon Goldberg SOVIET FOR REFUGEES Sec Need of Immigration for Growth of Territory Washington (WNS) — There is lesB racial and religious prejudice in Alaska than in any section of the tlnited states and the citizens of the Far North -will gladly -welcome refugees to increase the population "so long as they have the same rights to become citizens as any other immigrants and are economically able to sustain tkemfielves," said Anthony J. Dimond, Alaska's -voteless representative in Congress on his return from a flying tour of his immense territory.

"We want more people, but we don't want Alaska to become a dumping ground," he said. "I talked to hundreds of our citizens •who are worried about only one flection of the proposed hill to open up Alaska to refugees and that is the section which would prevent them from having all the rights and privileges of other American citizens."

From Elsewhere Pointing out that most of the present residents of Alaska came there from other places, many from northern European cuntries, he said there is no prejudice •gainst aliens. "We take a man for what he is and not for what his forefathers were or where they came from," he declared. "Americana must not underestimate the difficulties of Alaska for coloniza- tton," Dimond' said, "immigrants must receive complete support for one year and partial support for two years more.

"But if we could make use of our tremendous tlmberland for pulp mills," he said. "We could take care of many-thousands immediately. The European war may cause a situation by which Alask*n pulp mills could compete with the mills of the Scandinavian countries in supplying pulp for this hemisphere."

.rice Bisgyer In till* warta woed»piclfflre, Mr. Bisgjter, Secretary at B'fi&i B'rtth, and frieud of Captain Harry Badt, whoai tie .Inducted into B'naJ B'rkit Meo&eeskip last' week« tells Use story of tiue . career and exploits •©! the Jewish teaman wb© rescued the. crew of the scattled EmzJ liner, the Columbus.-—IHE EDITOR.

to carry President Roosevelt on iiis test CsE&disa cruise, which was made without mishap despite coHEtact fog and storm.

Badfs officers later said that for days on end during tliat Toy&ge, the Captain kept to the bridge, spending many sleepless Bights so that his ship would bring its pr&cious haman cargo safely to port. Previously, the had also been eliossen for the South American good-wll) cruise while some time before Badt had gone to the Aleutian Islands to survey uncharted waters.

B'nai B'tith Member The writer had the unique privilege last week of Inducting Captain Badt into membership in B'nai B'rith. Mrs. Badt, who has for many years taken her husband's place in communal activities while he was at sea, looked on proudly as the Captain became a member of the oldest and largest Jewish organization in America, following in the footsteps of many another great American army and navy hero.

It was the Argo Lodge of B'nai B'ritb, in Washington, of which Captain Badt is now a member, that had the. unique pleasure of being the first visible audience to hear his first-hand account of the rescue of the Nazi seamen.

Sitting spell-bound as the naval officer told the story without dramatics, the B'nai B'rith audience heard for the first time the full text of the now historic message sent to the Navy Department reporting the rescue in the customary naval terms. The text of the message reads as follows: "10:80—About fourteen fif-

"It took a Columbus to diseov• er America, but it took Captain . Harry A. Badt to discover tJie Columbus." That's what Y/ashington circles are now Baying as - they talk proudly of tbe rescue of 576 of the crew of the scuttled German luxury liner, Columbus, without the loss of a single life among those "wlio abandoned the ' ship.

To a world weary of war aud racial hatreds, this daring exploit of the United States Navy assumes special significance, for the commander of the rescue ship, the U. S. S. Tuscaloosa, is a Jew. The other night, as a few of us, friends of Captain Badt, gathered 1 around the fireplace of his Washington home and listened to his simple and straightforward narra- tive of the German liner's scuttling and his thrilling rescue, we • mused over this irony of ironies.

Fate must have been in a satiric mood when she threw the lives of 576 Nazis into the'hands of a < Jewish sea captain. Adolf Hitler could' veil turn to his god in Valhalla and ask: "What jest is this that my pure-blooded Aryans should submit themselves tq the compassion of a Jew?" But the steel-blue-gray eyes of the Navy captain seemed to look far beyond us, and the voice that knows best the simple elements of wind, sea and sky interrupted our thoughts with the clear-cut statement; "Our first idea was to save lives."

• • ' Texas Born Perhaps the 576 German seamen now sharing the warmth, peace and plenty of an Ellis ' Island dormitory, will think for a moment of the tens of thousands of. men, women and children freezing and starving and dying in the cold and desolation of the no-man's lands of Poland, by reason of their Fuehrer's "hnmanltarianlsm." But for a brave man who is kin to those who Buffer at the hands of the Nazi Fuehrer, theso Nazi seamen might have suffered a like fate.

Toe story of Captain Bad't career is in itself an epic of the opportunities afforded by our free democracy. Barry Badt -was bora in the town of Tyler, Texas. His father, Joe Badt, is one of lead• lag citizens of Jit. Pleasant, Texas -—Danker, merchant, cotton buyer ' and adviser to his neighbors about the countryside. . . When Harry's name was first proposed for appointment to the United States Naval Academy at Annapolis, tie deliberately stepped [ aside to permit one of his friends to receive the coveted designation.' But the following year, Con. greasman Morris Sheppard, now the senior V. 8. Senator from Texas, appointed him to the United States Naval Academy, and Badt accepted the appointment, ' graduating, in 1908.

Through the next 31 years, Badt achieved the.highest rating 1 as a navigator. He rose steadily in rank from ensign, lieutenant, • lieutenant-commander and finally to commander during the World - War, serving on the U. S. S. Arizona, Minneapolis and Minnesota. ' During theiast war he had the hazardous and responsible job of - convoying cargo ships across the Atlantic. As commander of the now-famous stream-lined TuBcai'loosa, Captain Badt has been honjored by having his ship selected

possessed" the Arabs; they bought every Inch of land they settled on from Arabs, and even during the civil wars Arabs continued freely to sell land to Jews, often at fancy prices.

Under Dr. Weizmann the Jews brought the contemporary world to Palestine; they brought hospitals, schools, scientific agriculture, capital, a literary revival, a higher standard of living. The remarkable town of Tel Aviv rose near Jaffa, the only exclusively Jewish municipality in the world. Swamps were drained, and irrigation and water power projects pushed forward. The Zionist pioneers settled on the soil and produced gardens wheer for centuries had been only arid desert. Result: Arab hatred, Arab jealously increased.

The Arabs became alarmed early, even though they benefited by Jewish enterprise. Riots occurred as early as 1920, although King Feisal and Dr. Weizmann made a preliminary entente, and in 1829 came a savage outbreak following

Backward wanderers, with no experience of Western administration (having been governed for centuries by Turks), largely illiterate, they were no match for the' educated and hustling Jews. They began to organize. A youthful leader, Haj Amln el Huseini, who was president of the S u p reme Moslem Council and Mufti of Jerusalem, became the spearhead of the Arab nationalist movement.
