trees has been lflanted in Palestine as
a memorial to the late Adolph Sier-
oty, his friends learned here today.

and friends contrit)uted the fnnds for
the grove.
Mr. Sieroty, who died March 1,
1937, was a resident of Southern
California for 44 years, active in Jew-
ish communal and Zionist affairs.
Mrs. Sieroty served as president of
the Los Angeles Hadassah chapter

"Stereotypes" In Films
Hit As Propaganda
NEW YORK (W. N. S.)--The
manner in which the movies depict
certain ra('es, nationalitic and mi-
nority groups helps to strengthen ex-
isting sterotyI/es and to prevent
critieimn of them, the Institute of
Propagan(la Analysis declare(1 this
week in its March letter.
Analyzing the five types of stero-
t:,,pc i, tl.e mo,.,io.: pl,ying signifi-
cant parts in conscious and nllcon-
seious propaganda, the Institute
poinl.s nut that certain races, na-
tionalities, or minority groups are
portr'yed in the movies as being
comical or dullwittcd or portraying
tr.fits "that mark them as greatly
different from 'rod inferior to native
white Americans.
"Studies of the stetotypes head by
eollcge students show that many in-
fluences have been at work in pro-
ducing grossly inacurate portraits of
races and nation,tittles."
The Institute was founded 1)y the
late EdwaM Filene, merchant prince.
and liberal.

tion shouhl damage our faith, it wouht
be a curse instead of a blessing."
