Chicago (JTA) — The highlands of Central Africa offer "tentative hope" for settlement of 10,000,000 refugees, ex-President Herbert Hoover declared at a dinner inaugurating the 12,250,000 campaign of the Chicago Jewish Welfare Fund, it was announced that 11,000,000 had already been subscribed. .

"Whatever else may result from the present war," Hoover said, "I have no belief that we will not again have to meet tlie forces of economic desperation, of hate and Intolerance. These forces are not lessened by war. We shall have millions of evicted people seeking refuge where they can live Jn freedom and hope. , "For 150 years America was this refuge. The leaders are agreed that A m e r i c a cannot openv its doors in the face of our own unemployment and suffering. It haal been felt that somewhere there must be opened a place in a temperate climate where 10,000,000 white men, women and children can build a civilization. The tentative hope seems to be in the highlands of Central Africa."

The State Coals remained In third place, although losing two to the Tretiaks, who jumped into a tie for fourth with the Shrlers, after the latter dropped t h r e e games to the Pioneers. The Smith Motor five won two over t h e Wardrobes to put these teams in a tie for fifth position.

There were but eight 500 series in all. There were four 200 games, Jim Burroughs topping the group with 219. Others were George Schaplro, 204; Paul Steinberg, 202, and Doctor Platt, 200.

The CHcquots set the stage for their victory with a slow start in the form of a 757 total game, 57 pins better than the vanquished Empire Cleaners. T h e second game hit 858, while the competition bettered by 112 pins.

The steam was off again in the third round, as the E s k i m o s slipped by with a 770 to trim the Empires by well over a hundred pins. Following Schapiro'a high of 547 were Ben Shapiro with 516 and Dr. Platt with 512.

The Wardrobes,'starting with a nice 847 game, the highest in the match, lost their strength and the second game by 137 pins.

After nine even frames in the third game, the weakness struck again, and the third was lost by 36 pins. Paul Steinberg led the losers, as usual, with 543, with Aaron Epstein second, totaling 492.

Predictions for next week Indicate that the Clicquot Clubs and Empire Cleaners will retain their present positions after meeting the Smith Motors and Wardrobes, respectively.

The State Coals should he due for a win over the suddenly revived Pioneers, and the Tretiaks and Shrier Paints will break their tie in the fourth match. N e s t Tuesday's round will begin the last month of the league's howling season, with but four weeks remaining.

The Pioneers turned in a nice performance w i t h o u t pushing their reserve energy to the limit, as they walked away with three games from d weak Shrter Paint team.

Puzzling news items include the one about the Italian gold medal brevet, a high military decoration, being awarded to Lieutenant Bruno Jesi, counsellor of the Union of Jewish Communities of Italy, and the announcement that Hitler has awarded the Grand Cross of Distinguished Service of the German Eagle to explorer Sven Hedin, who Is frankly proud of his 25 per cent of Jewish blood . . . Rumor hereabouts has it that General Werner von Blomberg, former German war minister, has shared the fate of the late General von •Pritsch, together with whom he was demoted a couple of years ago because of opposition to some of Hitler's policies . . Neal O'Hara claims that an inmate of an American jail gets more to eat than a "free" German citizen nowadays . Subscribers to Punch are still chuckling over the Low cartoon which shows Hitler and Stalin playing poker, with Hitler saying: "I'll raise you a neutral" . . . So hard up are the Nazis for "evidence" for home-front consumption, that America likes them that recently they cited the Pittsburgh Tribune as favoring their side . .

• Their error being that this paper doesn't like Nazism and has said so editorially, and in any case couldn't by any stretch of the imagination be expected to be proNazi, being.an organ of those ultra-non-Aryans, the P i t t s burgh Negro community . . .

COMMENTARY

The Question that interests us is who was supposed to be supplying the $150,000 which the unAmerican Col. Emerson promised

William Dudley Pelley if he would line up 15,000 pro-Nazis in this country . . . Recently, by the way, a story reached our ears that what started Pelley on his anti-Semitic path was his dismissal from a lucrative writing post In Hollywood quite some years ago . . . It soured him on the Jewish movie moguls, and in his big-hearted way Dudley soon included all Jews In his hate . . . Winchell declares that the reason why Unity MItford, long ballyhooed as Hitler's ideal of Nordic womanhood, shot herself is that she grew despondent when the realization finally dawned on her that the Nazis were trying to use her to win over English public opinion . . . Have you heard the rumor that the . c a n cellatlon of that recent Coughlin b r o a d c a s t was due, not to political reasons or, ecclesiastic censorship, but to the circumstance that the good Father, who had just returned from a rather lively excursion into Canada, was incapacitated from facing the microphone? . . .

WE'LL TELL tfOU

We did tell you, in a recent column, about that famous painting

by Max Band depicting the Nazi pogroms of 1938 ..." It may inter' est you to know that: the French Art Gallery, where he is having a one-man show during t h e first three weeks of March, has prohibited the e x h i b i t i o n of this painting . . . This solicitude for Nazi susceptibilities by a French gallery is beyond us . . . Leon Bloom, who is no relation to, the former French" prime minister, but one of our finest pianists and musical pedagogues, is o p e ning a school In New York'. . . H e will give ten scholarships each year to the most talented, p u p i l s who study, with him . . . This reminds UB that Friedricli Schorr» the German cantor's son who is now with the Metropolitan Opera Company, is planning to branch out as a teacher of future opera stars . . .

Have we told you that Louis Adlon, scion of Berlin's Hotel Adlon family, plays the part of a bellhop (Continued on page 12.)

Paris (JTA) — The F r e neb Government has granted citizenship to Dr. Eduard Jacobs, German Jewish refugee p h y s i c i a n , who is collaborating in a treatment for cancer termed by French medical specialists as the most effective yet developed.

Dr. Jacobs, who worked with Dr. Ferdinand Blumenthal in a Government laboratory in Berlin on cancer r e s e a r c h for many years, was discharged when the Nazis came to power in l%Zi and both were obliged to leave Germany. Dr. Blumenthal is now in Estonia, while Dr. Jacobs found refuge in Prance. , Despite many handicaps and i n adequate funds, Dr. Jacobs continued his experimentation in France.

He reached the point where he was convinced he could report his findings to the French Academy and other French medical experts.

A leading French cancer specialist became interested in his work and brought it to the attention of the French medical authorities, with the result that the Government set up a special laboratory for him.

Careful observation by the leading French specialists has led to the belief that Dr. Jacobs has discovered the most startling treatment of cancer yet found.

Abraham de Toledo was physician to Alphonso of Castillo (12621282) and was instrumental in having the Bible translated into Spanish.

Society Editor MORRIS AIZENBBRG—Sioux City Correspondent

"The Light That Failed" The current "Readers Digest" repriuts a pro: vocative editorial from the magazine "Fortune," In which the shortcomings and failure of religious Institutions in America are recounted. Aptly entitled, "The Light that Failed," the article points out that organized religion instead of being the spiritual leader, has actually lagged behind the people it should have helped.

Unfortunately the comment is true, and is as much the problem of the Jews as that of Catholics and Protestants. Our rabbis may inveigh against those who do not enter the Temple or Synagogues, but perhaps the fault lies not with those who should be occupying the empty pews.

At a time when men are in desperate need of spiritual comfort, they are not finding it, and it is not because of any perverse nature of human beings. Religious leaders have failed to gauge the needs of their peoples, perhaps in part because of their own inability to understand those needs. ' They have not brought out the best in man, because they have not bothered to rise above the evils of the world.

Religious organizations have accepted, almost •without question, the standards of a basically materialist society. Success to our ministers is as much the outward success as the financial achievements of the business executive. Synagogues justify their existence on reports telling how marfy members belong to the congregation; how many attend services; how many attended this dinner and that book review; this synagogue function and that card par* ty.

The sucfess of a rabbi is represented by the magnificent physical plant his congregation builds or maintains for him—not the expression to charitable acts or gracious behavior.

Religious sucess can never be measured by statistical or.financial reports. Nor can a religious life be encouraged by congregation rivalries and Internecine feuds. . .

If present circumstances continue Judaism will go on only because of tradition and' sentiment, but not because of the spiritual reservoir it can offer Its followers. Our ministers may be gentlemen and scholars; they may be forceful and eloquent orators; they may be well-informed on the events of the day and profoundly moved by the in Justices of the times; they may fulfill the function of agents of good-will. But'yet their primary duty la to assist the layman in understanding the spiritual experience that will bring him into harmony •with the life he must lead.

Results of An Abuse :

serious infringement of the right of free speech is expected by this action. But it is a reflection on us of this generation — that we were unable to live up to the high expectations of the founding fathers.

Since last November when the National Association of Broadcasters promulgated its code to deal with the disseminators of hate propaganda, fifteen stations of the sixty that carried the Coughlin broadcast have canceled their contracts. Another large network, which is the Coughlin outlet in New England, will carry: on until its contracts expire, but until then will turn over the payments to charity.

The $350,000 Coughlln allegedly spends each year on his broadcasts is a large plum for ladio stations, but to prevent the air waves from becoming the arena for crack-pots of every variety, the Broadcasters have been forced to forego this sum.

Father Coughlln has done more than attack the Jews in his broadcasts; he has done more than undermine the authority of the priesthood by his irresponsible ravings; he has done more than give voice to lies and hate; more than inflaming once again the fear of the Catholic Church. He has com* mitted a grievous sin against this country by dealing a damaging blow at the American doctrine of free speech.

Americans have come to pride themselves on their freedom of speech. They have, over a period of a century and a half, held up that doctrine for all the world to see. Unfortunately Coughlln did not understand that freedom of speech entailed some measure of responsibility.

He recognized no responsibility. And because lie did not, he inspired a campaign of terror — happily nipped in the bud. Debasement to the human spirit grew out of preachments supposedly religious in nature.

Because the good name and security of a people, have a right to be. protected against the falsehoods of a demagogue, radio broadcasters have deemed it necessary to adopt a stringent code. No

Gems of the Bible and Talmud

'AH must die you say. Yes, no truth is so familiar, so logically familiar.' Never morning wore to evening, but some heart did break.

But all must live! One dies but once, one lives all one's life long. Life is paramount. It is our supreme task and occupation. It but perplexes us how to live, what to do with our life, with life in general. "What Will He Do With It?" the title of Charles Reade's famous novel, we apply to our life. Each one has one life here on earth—what will be do with it! He passes this way but once— what will he do on his unique journey? What sights •will he see? What pleasures will be enjoy?

What activities will be engage in?

There is but one supreme object and purpose in life: And that is to make it as rich and full as possible, for oneself and for that larger company of selves that we call 'others.' Rabbi Hillel, the jneek, kindly, wise Rabbi that lived just at the outbreak of the Christian Era, expressed it, it seems to me, superbly, in words that might be deemed the ripe expression of even our much thought-plowed, scientific, modern era: "If I am not for myself, who will be? But if I am only for myself what am I? And if not now, when?"

Each must be for 'himself,' even as he is an individual, with his own life to live, which no one can live for him; with his own special character and personality; just as each star must shine for itself, even in a galaxy of the stars, thus helping to make up the stellar company and to enhance the splendor of their celestial light. Each flower must bloom for itself and mingle its fragrance with the odorous whole. -Each must be for itself, as it Is a separate and unique individuality.

But it must not be only for itself. It has been created to increase the total glory. So with man; he must live for himself; but only BO that he may add to the 'richness and fulness' of the entire life Thorkelson has been a headof humanity. To be 'only for himself would be ache not only to the Republican to be exclusively, supremely selfish. It would leadership and the Congress as a whole, but to the Senators from moreover be impossible, as one would wither and his own state.

Youth Hailed as Champions of Refugees Provide MAX F i i PACT RATIFIED FinnishDemocracy

by Jr. B'nai B'rith Jobs in England IT JUDGE

BY DOMINICA London (JTA) — Home Secretary Sir John Anderson stated in Commons that refugees who had been allowed to start factories and businesses had brought increased trade and employment to the country.

The Home Office has appointed a committee to sit as a tribunal to examine the cases of 6,000 "friendly aliens," Czech, Slovak and Sudeten r e f ugees who had been exempted from appearing before the alien enemy tribunals.

Preparations Are Made to Receive First Colonists Ciudad Trujillo (JTA) — Officials of the Dominican Republic Settlement Association, following congressional ratification of the association's c o n t ract with the Gorernment for colonization of refugees expected u 11 i mately to . number 100,000, this week made preparations to receive the first 600 refugee families for settlement on the 24,000-acre Sosua tract.

In Washington ,the A s s o c 1 atlon, aided by the Intergovernmental Committee on Refugees and the State Department, was seeking to make a r r a ngements with a Government agency, preBumably the Shipping Board, to charter an American ship to transport the first grpup of refugee Bettiers from an Italian port to the Dominican Republic. D O B inican Minister Andres Pastoriza made public a cablegram from his Government reporting action of the Congress and s t a t ing that the "Dominican people enthusiastically await the beginning of the settlement." * Await First Settlers The first group of settlers will be received as soon as the formalities of their selection, assembling and transportation can be arranged; it was stated by Dr. Joseph Rosen, vice-president of the D. R. S. A., and his associate, Dr. Frederick Pearlstein. Formal transfer of the Sosua tract, which w a s contributed by Generalissimo Rafael L. Truiillo, former President of the Republic, has taken place.

The contract, which was signed here on Jan. 30, was unanimously ratified by both Houses of Congress at a special session. Congress also Toted laws giving free entry to settlers, their goods and equipment and exempting the association from taxation.

Ex-Premier Paul van Zeeland of Belgium, president of the Coordinating Foundation for R e f ugees, who arrived here by Pan-American Clipper, met G e n er a lissima Trujillo with whom he planned to visit Sosua.

INDIANS BAN USE OF SWASTIKA SYMBOL Tucson, Ariz. ( J T A ) — Because the swastika has now become a symbol of Nazi "acts of oppression," four Arizona Indian tribes, Which used the design in their baskets and blankets for years before Hitler was ever heard of, this week held a solemn ceremony foreswearing any further use of the hooked cross.

Collecting a blanket, basket and decorated clothing b e a r ing the swastika in a pile, the Indians sprinkled colored Bands over the heap and set it afire. The four tribal chiefs then issued the following proclamation: "Because the ornament which lias been a symbol of. friendship among our forefathers for many centuries has been desecrated by another nation of peoples: "Therefore, it is resolved that henceforth from this date and forever more our tribes renounce the nse of the emblem c o m m o n l y Jtnown as swastika, or fylfot, on our blankets, baskets, art objects, and paintings and clothing."

Help forthe Uprooted

By Robert Dreux Editor's note: The following article is a translation from the French Newspaper "L'Ordre" and appeared on January 20th, 1040. It deals with the constructive work that is being done for the refugees in France by the ORT.) During the great present upheaval we ask ourselves what has become of those human beings whom we refer to as "The Uprooted." They are those who have been uprooted from their homelands in Eastern and Central Europe and thrown out of their liberal and other professions, seeking in our French climate, a climate of honest work and human dignity, to remodel their lives and to render themselves useful to the country upon which they had become a charge.

The work of readjustment, of preliminary vocation retraining, has for many of them been made possible by the ORT Union, a society for the Promotion of Industrial and Agricultural L a b o r among the Jews, which has its home in Paris. ORT is an admirable organization to which clearsighted statesmen have given their support.

The Ministry of Labor and the man who guides its d o s t i n ies, which are now of capital importance for the salvation of the country, have accepted the spontaneous and generous offer of the French ORT to place at the disposal of our National Defense its training workshops and its e n g i n e e r i n g school which is a model of its kind. « A generous offer, indeed, since the ORT not only demands nothng from our public resources, but, on the contrary,, spends the important contributions of its followers and its committees in order to provide its institutions with a most perfect equipment and a selected staff of Instructors.

Usefulness Whoever has seen these courses and workshops In action and the spirit which animates them, leaves hem with the comforting feeling that these human wreckages of yesterday and these children facing with anguish t h e i r future, these people of different age and social formation, will become of incontestable usefulness for our country at the crossing of their roads which will bring them at ast stability.

A similar feeling is inspired hy he results which ORT has obtain;d In the sphere of agriculture.

Whether it Is a question of liraitd experiment as t r i e d out at Ihellea (S-et-M.) where French peasants who know and lore their soil have taught foreigners coming rom different lands and different professions to cultivate the land; or whether we refer to an initiative of a larger scope embracing, ~h the south-west of France, a number of farms which foreigners 'have awakened from: their pro"bund slumber, —- the work deserves our active sympathy.

'ORT has selected one after another the farmers capable of dong the job; ORT has partly financed this e n t e r p rise which argely exceeds' the resources of hese farmers. -

-At this moment ORT is about to establish in one of the estates of Lot-et-Garonne a training farm whose results will no doubt Influence the whole region and the development of its agricultural settlements. And why not publish the spontaneous spirit with which the ORT proceeded, immediately after the beginning of the hostilities and the departure of the men for the front, to a minor mobilization of its own and directed, in the midst of the vintage season?

Columns of refugees came to the vineyards of Alller to help the wives of the winegrowers who are now mounting guard at our frontiers.

The same spirit of solidarity and assimilation is felt in the training workships and In the engineering school of the ORT where turners, locksmiths, millers and other specialists are being trained in order to forge, hand in hand and shoulder to shoulder with us, a victory and better times.

France has her memory as well as her heart in the right place.

She will remember t h o s e who were with her in the dolorous hours of the great trial and who, recalling the debt of hospitality for the country which gave them refuge, are joyously p r e p a r i n g themselves to' contribute to her safety.

First meeting of Omaha lodge of B'nai B'rith in the month of March will be Monday, March 4, at the Jewish Community Center.
