Refugees Be

The Hague (WNS) — Twentyone Dutch Nazis have been arrested in Holland as a result of the state of siege regulations, it was announced in a broadcast by Premier D. J. Geer. The Premier said, In his address, that "the Government regrets to announce that there Is absolute proof that certain of our compatriots' mentality Is s u c h that they form a danger to our country and that special measures had to be taken against them." One report, which could not be verified, said that M. M.

Paris <JTA) <— The urgent necessity of evacuating German Jewish, refugees from Belgium and- the Netherlands because of the possibility of a German inva sion was stressed Ity Sir Herbert Emerson, League of Nations high commissioner for refugees and di rector of the Intergovernmental Refugee Committee, after a tour of the low countries, There are approximately 20,000 refugees in the Netherlands and 22,000 in Belgium, Conferring with Jewish relief organizations here, Emerson said he considered it their principal duty at p r e s e n t to facilitate speedy emigration of the maximum number of refugees possible from the two countries. This task must be put above all others, even above emigration of Jews from the Reich, Emerson said, because it Is clear that if these refugees again fall into the Nazis' hands they will suffer more than the Jews in the Reich.

Protected by U. S. in Oslo While in Paris, Emerson was also acquainted by the HIAS-ICA Emigration association with the situation of the more than 8,000 Polish Jewish refugees now In Lithuania.

Warsaw continues w i t h no relief in sight. One report stated that Jews are compelled to march through the main streets of Warsaw elioutiag, "We Jews wanted war." Tfae practice of seizing young Jewish girls and shipping tliem to military brothels has been intensified. Young Jewish women have been ordered to report to designated offices for "compulsory labor." Most of these women are never seeo or heard frooi again. The Jewish community lias every reason to believe that the girls were sent to the war zones and forced into brothels. It was learned here that 172 Jews have committed suicide in Nazi Germany in the last 14 weeks, 46 of them iu Berlin, 12 in Hamburg and 18 in Frankfortou-the-main. This figure furnishes au indication of the number of Jewish suicides in t h e Nazi-held territories where conditions are generally worse than in Germany. The presence of neutral diplomats and newspaper men has always served as a restraining influence on the Nazis in Germany. Passover week saw the renewal

of the "ritual murder" charge. The viciously anti-Semitic weekly, Der Stuermer, published by Nazidom's No. 1 Jewbaiter, featured a story under huge headlines, disclosed the alleged murder of a non-Jewish girl in Bohemia. The Nazi publication raised every ancient and disproved charge imaginable aud promises t h a t the "murder" will be revenged. "The revenge win involve the whole Jewish people," the paper stated.

Immediately following the occupation of those two countries the Nazis began rounding up both the refugees and the native Jews. Many of the refugees have been sent back to Germany. The German high command has issued a decree forbidding Jews to leave those countries even if they have or are about to receive visas to other lands. A group of 370 young Jews, sons and daughter* of Jewish refugees, en route to Palestine were immediately affected by the decree.

Jews in that country were branded as false here by Dr. Alfred Bilmaais, the Latvian Minister, in behalf of his Government. The r e p o r t , emanating from Kansas, Lithua&ia, stated that the Latvian Govermaeiit contemplated a levy of 5,000,000 lats to be imposed on wealthy Latvian Jews. This sum, the report said, was later reduced by one-half. "As taxes in Latvia have never been levied in accordance with the nationality of a citizen," Dr. Bilmaais said, "but only in accordance with his or her income, this legation was highly skeptical of the r e p o r t and immediately

cabled its Government as to the truth &f it." "Having received a reply to Its cable, the Lativan Legation is now in a position to state authoritatively that t h e r e is not the slightest bit of truth in this rumor from Kaunas. There is one law for all Latvian citizens, and the Latvian Government has n e v e r even considered l e v y i n g a tax upon any national minority. As formerly, ail taxes in Latvia are levied according to incomes."

NAZI ACTIVITY HERE FOLLOWS VISIT OF RED GROSS LEADER

New York (WNS) — The refcent visit of the Duke of SaxeCoburg-Gotha to Chicago ostensibly to raise funds for the German Red Cross, has served aa a signal for Increased activity among Nazi Germans in the Middle West, accdrding to The Hour, anti-Nazi weekly. The publication stated that "at meetings behind closed doors the Duke reproached the Nazi leaders In this country for their failure to rally the Mid-Western Germans around the flag of N a z i Germany." Hitler's aide was reported to have distressed over " the confusion and strife which he noticed even among the Nazis, who, he said, should know better than to fight among themselves in such an anti-Hitlerite country as America." ••••,.••• While in Chicago, the Duke was guest of honor at several receptions including one-arranged by the president and officers of the Germanla Club at which several hundred persons paid $3.50 cash each. Of this amount, $2.00 went to the Duke 'for the needs of the German Red Cross." Meanwhile, it was reported that Special offices have been opened in Chicago, Cleveland, Pittsburgh and Philadelphia to collect money for the German Red Cross. Other branches are. expected to bo opened shortly.

Passover New York (WNS) — That democracy can defend itself against attack as long as religious liberty is upheld was stressed in a radio address by Governor Herbert H. Lehman. The governor spoke from Albany over the NBC-Blue network on a program sponsored by t h e Synagogue Council of America to commemorate the 285th anniversary of the celebration of the first Passover in America in the Dutch colony of New Amsterdam. Referring to Europe, Governor Lehman said, "Not only is freedom of worship dying in many communities, but all religion is being attacked by godless rulers, because they know that true religion is the fountain-head of the democracy which dictators fear. In Europe, millions of Jews eat their bitter herbs and their unleavened bread In greater slavery than their ancestors knew under the Pharachs of Egypt; thousands of Jews do not even have the solace of these familiar things this Passover. T h e i r fate, however, is no worse than that of their Catholic and Protestant brothers, w h o s e churches are often closed a n d whose leaders-face imprisonment or death it they daro ignore government edicts." , Stating .his belief in the victory of religion and democracy, t h e governor added, "Men of g o o d will, standing together as did the religious leaders of the N e w Amsterdam colony 285 years ago, will triumph over all the forces of evil. There is a faith t h a t makes us free, no matter h o w strong the attack may be." Governor Lehman's address followed a dramatization of events leading up to the first Passover in America in 1655.- He was introduced by Rabbi David De Sola Pool, president of the Synagogue Council of America and Rabbi of the Spanish and Portuguese synagogue in New York, founded in 1655 and the oldest synagogue in America.

Publish Omahan's Education Article Miss Blanche Kleiman, Educational Director of the Jewish Community Center and Instructor at Temple Israel Hebrew School, has c o n t r i b u t e d an article to the April Issue of THE J E W I S H TEACHER, The quarterly magazine for Jewish religious Schools which is published by the Union o t American Hebrew Congregations. Iu "A Hebrew Club Paper as a Teaching Technique," Miss Kleiman describes the s u c c e s s ful launching of a club and a paper in the bi-weekly Hebrew School of Temple Israel. "The Club paper gives every member an opportunity to use his creative skill in some way," Miss Kl'jiman state. "It motivates int e r e s t and cooperation with a group participation."

HUNGARIAN PAPER BLAMES JEWS FOR SPREADING OF M R

Budapest (JTA) — A new antiSemitic drive by the Nazis and their sympathizers began when Stephen Milotay, editor-in-chief of the Government party's organ UJ Magyarsag, editorially denounced "tendentious news" in the Budapest press and r a d i o , blaming Hungarian Jews in particular and "international Jewry" in general. Quoting the recent Nazi White Book, Milotay said it proved that Jews were seeking to extend the theater of war in order that Gentiles on both sides might "exterminate themselves and leave the Jews in power. At the same time the weekly newspaper Hetfo, pro-G o v e r nment organ, attacked expatriate Hungarian journalists, especially the editors of the Parlsl Kurlr, for "poisoning" the atmosphere1 by smuggling into Hungary proAllied propaganda. Hetfo concluded that despite the two "Jewish laws," the "hundred-headed hydra Is more active than ever." \ Meanwhile, newspapers supporting the Arrow-Cross Party, Hungarian Nazi organization, demanded the suppression of the liberal, pro-Jewish Estl Kurir and Count S t e p h e n Bethlen's conservative anti-Nazi newspaper 8-Orai Ujsag, accusing them of being "hysterical and anti-Hungarian" by hinting that Hungary and other neutrals were endangered by the German conquest of Denmark a n d London (JTA) — More than Norway a n d referring to Hun120 industrial establishments em- gary's military weakness. ploying some 6,000 persons have been founded by refugees, either alone or In collaboration w i t h Britons, the House of Commons was informed by Home Secretary Sir.

A $5,000 bequest from the lat« Mrs. Nathan L. Dauby, of Cleveland, will form the nucleus of a fund to enlarge Beliefaire's pre* sent service to include both institution and foster home care for Jewish children in the region outside of Cleveland. At their quarterly meeting on Sunday, April 21st, the Board of Trustees and Directors designated the Bessie Braham Dauby Memorial Fund to be used for "the care of non-Cleveland c h i l d r e n in boarding homes and holding together of family units, where institution care is not indicated." While for some y e a r s , the Home's rules have permitted the subsidizing of children in their own and foster homes as well as institution care, lack of funds has allowed very little of this type of service. , In speaking of the need to embark actively on a complete pro* gram of child care, the president, Fred Lazarus, Jr., of Columbus, and the superintendent, Michael Sharlitt, pointed out that the only way to insure a child's receiving the kind of care he needs is to make available to him both institution and foster home placement or subsidy in his own home. The addition to the Bellefalre staff of two new members who have had training and experien6e in both types of child care service will expedite the new program.

Note

A Holiday in Palestine JERUSALEM The weather p r o phet of the Palestine Broadcasting S e r r ice was utterly wrong, more so than usual: Instead of a nice, warm, sunny and cheerful day for Purim, as was promised, we have a rainy and gloomy, windy and dull one. The only excuse for the weather-cock is the possibility of the Almighty having in mind other arrangements for this gay holiday. We deliberately say "Holiday," thought there is a s a y i n g the world over that "Fever is not a malady and Purim is not a HoHT day." But what may be right for the World is wrong for Palestine. Here fever is a dangerous malady and Purim is a grand holiday- — it took the Jews tens of years to eradicate malaria from c e r t a in spots in Palestine, and it took no less time for Purim to b e c o m e what It recently was. But because Palestine is not in such a feverish state, it was only right to expect from our'Lord a pleasant' Purim with e a r n ! vals, and street-dances, with all the silly child-like funny-m a k 1 n g noise which Is typical of our Purim. No News We can only guess that he probably worked hand-in-hand with the Vaad Leumi and P a l e stine Government •— both strong opposera of Purim c e l e b rations this year. The G o v eminent did not want the noise, objected to the children's habit of firing toy-pistols and threatened transgressors irith military court, w h i l e the .Vaad Leumi opposed in general any gayety at this time. "It does not suit the present gloomy moment in our history, (stated the Vaad L e u m i ) and there shan't be any festivities at a time when we have to- mourn the persecutions of our brethren all the world over and the establishment of a ghetto in our Homeland." There "was, therefore, the real danger of having a Haman-less and cheerless Purim. And there was also a real danger for scores of people for whom Purim is not so much a merry-making as a money-making time. T h o s e , of course, protested against the ban on Purim festivities. Their protests "were so strong and so loud that the Vaad Leumi was c o m p e l l e d to issue some "modifications," otherwise some festivities might very well have been arranged without their permission. Hundreds of applications poured into the o f f 1 c es of the Highest Institution of the Yishub demanding the revocation of the order and asking for permission . to arrange festivities in closed premises. Others did not even wait for the Vaad Leumi's permission but Simply published announcements In the press and posted notices on street hoardings that "A Purim Ball! with the knowledges of the yaad Leumi, will take place" . . . Note the expression: "with the KNOWLEDGE of the VL," not "with the APPROVAL." Protest of Frivolity Those few Purim bails caused another downpour of letters to the local press protesting against such frivolity and lack of national discipline on the part of their organizers. Some of the correspondents advised the Yishub to take an example from the Arabs who were able to carry on their rebellion for years despite the tremendous ~fend,tragic losses of life, property and business. Others referred to the small but courageous Finns, "Who fought so bitterly and splendidly knowing before hand that gave a miracle they were bound to lose. Their national discipline dictated their d i s r egard of any sacrifices. "Only the Jews in Palestine," the corresponds complained, "could not stand a s i n g l e day's loss." . Such, and many other letters, "Were published In the local press calling on the Jews to comply with the order of the Vaad Leumi and to adhere to the line adopted by the : highest institution of the Yishub. Others called upon the Yishub to boycott the balls. < * • Rain These protests challenged counter-protests and justifications, and ft letter-duel "pro-andrcon-Purlm" is still going on.

mighty Himself must have decided to cloud the clear blue skies of Palestine, rouse a violent wind and pour down stormy rains. The rains and storms upset the plans of the merry-makers, but the agriculturists were d e 11 g hted and blessed the Lord for His gift. . I can remember how Palestine celebrated Purim for the past sixteen years. Some of the festivities were splendid, gorgeous, drunken with youth, joy and fine weather. I shall never forget the Purim I took part in some eight years ago when we danced until dawn with Miss Henrietta S z o 1 d, the late Haim Nachman Bialik, M e s k i n and others from the "Habima" in the streets of Tel Aviv, the late Melr DIzengoff m a r s h a l l i n g the Feast. ; Downfall of Oppressor There were other less splendid. less beautiful Purlms, but all were young and gay and cheerful. Even when the Arab terror in the country was at its heights the Yishub celebrated Purim. This year there were not to be any public festivities, but some would nevertheless be held in Tel Aviv. It would be a "nuss u nus3", as the Arabs say — a fifty-fiftyone and it was . . . But even these "nuss u nuss" indoor f e s t i vities did not lack

some amusing and tragic moments. An incident is told about one particular ball in which Anzac officers took an active part. When the ball was about to end, one of the officers heartily thanked his hosts on behalf of himself and of his comrades for the good time and splendid entertainment they were given for Easter (this year Purim coincided with Easter.) The hosts were then compelled to explain to the Anzac officers that this was a celebration commemorating the down fall of Hainan, the biggest enemy of the Jews in olden times, just as Hitler was nowadays. The officers were grateful for this i n f o rmation, though apparently surprised that Hitler was not the only Jewish persecutor. At another ball a young couple comically masqueraded, d r a n k and danced, enjoying themselves immensely. In an interval between dances the young lady noticed a strip of old newspaper near their table with some names printed on it. When she began reading it, out of sheer curiosity, she suddenly screamed and fainted. She had read in that strip a report that her father had been killed in a concentration camp in the Third B e l c h . . .

David was from an orthodox Jewish home and such things were not for him! Licensed as Operator Nevertheless, he went from elementary school to Pratt Institute and enrolled in a special course in electrical engineering. 'At 15 he became a messenger boy for the Commercial Cable company and gave the pittance he made almost entirely to his struggling family. In 1907, David Sarnoff was only 16 years old. He was licensed as a junior telegraph operator In 1908 he was 17 years old. Seventeen years old and the wireless pperator at Slasconset Station, Nantucket, Mass.

spector and a chief inspector for radio. But the heights to which radio could climb were not measurable. The rise was rapid and sharp and it didn't level off to a plateau anywhere along the line. So David Sarnoff moved from a chief inspector's position to membership in the pubescent Radio Corporation of America. President of R. C. A. In 1930 David Sarnoff became president of R. C. A., the greatest radio enterprise in the world; the peak for the man and the peak for the idea. Then the world began to recognize the radio pioneer of the Titanic disaster. The United States Army has given him the rank of colonel in the Signal Corps Re* serves. In 1924 the Polish government awarded him the Order of Polonia Restltuta. He is a member of the French Legion of Honor. Doctor of Science from St. Lawrence university and Marietta college. Doctor of'Literature from Norwich university. These constitute his recognition by our centers of learning and culture. Turn your dial on any night Music, lectures, plays and information. A rich pattern of convenient education and relaxing entertainment with all the complete satisfaction of confinement within the four walls of your own home. This is radio today. Or at least one important aspect of it. Today it Is a great American institution without which America would not be America where opinions of every shade have equal opportunity in the Town Hall of the Air.

Two years later David Sarnoff was a commuter between t h e United States and the Arctic Ocean. He had deserted his position at Siasconset to t a k e the wireless operator's job on a sealing vessel and made several voyages to the land of ice and seals and polar bears. After the Titanic disaster David Sarnoff placed his foot on the second rung. And radio moved forward and up, From all parts of the country young men came to learn about this new voice that covered the earth and could be heard in any of its corners. These eager pioneers came to the Marconi Institute where David had been engaged as an Instructor. But just as radio grew Sarnoff knew he had to grow too. He became successively and successfully an in-

By Richard Kallman In 1912 a boat on the high seas floundered, shuddered as if mortally wounded, paused for a brief space and then plunged beneath the waves with its cargo of human lives. Several hundred people were lost in that disaster which to this day remains a challenging secret closely guarded In the Impenetrable fastnesses of the sea. We all know about the S. 8. Titanic. That unsolved tragedy has been recounted again and again in virtually every corner of the earth. Today we all know about it and, if you please, are a little skeptical about, and annoyed with, the authorities who apparently were so flabbergasted as to be unable to make proper provision for the unlucky passengers on the ill-fated steamer. This is cruel judgement. Cruel because we are measuring an emergency of 1912 in terms of the safeguards of 1940. Think of radio. Compare the many interlacings in the ether today with the comparatively few threads that were flung loosely through it in 1912. Radio was young then and unpredictable. And the Titanic was martyrized so that the world would appreciate the need for radio and help it to grow.

When the. Titanic floundered her wireless operator was playing af ran tic tattoo on his keys, over and over again his fingers briskly tapped out the little dots of sound that went madly shreiklng into the ether. For long, anguished moments no answer came and no aid. The steady staccato pattern still left the little wireless cabin of the fast-settling ship. Radio was young and its ear not fully developed. * But somewhere a young pioneer heard the message of distress — picked it right out of the ether. S-O-S—S-O-S. He answered briefly and located the ship. Then he notified the authorities. A total tragedy was foiled and the sea forced to make a half-nod to the miracle bf the radio. The Titanic went down to the bottom. And radio began its climb to the top. The young pioneer who first heard the stricken vessel's message held tenaciously to radio and made the climb with it. Today they are both perched at the top: Radio and David Sarnoff. . David Sarnoff was born in Russia not quite 50 years ago. He came to America when he was 9 years old in 1900 and entered
