Palestine Only
Haven, Declares
Mrs. Silverman
Mrs. Archibald Silverman, of
Providence, R. I., former national
vice-president of Hadassah and the
American Jewish Congress, dra-
matically portrayed the homeless-
ness of the Jew today in an address
before a joint meeting sponsored by
the Seattle Zionist District and Ha-
dassah at the Talmud Torah last
Tuesday evening.
"I did not wait for England to
give me permission to work for
Palestine." Mrs. Silverman said, at
the meeting, which observed the
25th year of the Balfour Declara-
tion. "I have been an active Zionist
for 35 years."
Palestine Only Refuge
"Every high government official
to whom I've spoken, says that
there is no other place for the Jews
of the world where they may be
able to go, but Palestine. The only
way to have an open door in Pales-
tine is to come to the Peace Confer-
ence and say 'we have the land,
here it is, and here we are.' We can
buy land in Palestine and are con-
tinuing to buy land.
"In Peru, Bolivia, Paraguay, Cen-
tral America and every land that I
have visited, I have found the Jew
hungering for Palestine, with the
desire to colonize there. We must
prepare for the peace -- we must
buy more land in Palestine.
Bombs Teach Lesson
"The Jews in England are giving
to Palestine as they've never given
before. It is unfortunate that bombs
have to teach us the lesson that we
must prepare a place for our chil-
dren. Must we in America wait? I
hope not!"
Rabbi Jacob Cohn, Educational
Director of the Talmud Torah,
briefly reviewed the history of Eng-
land's policy in Palestine since the
Balfour Declaration.
Mrs. Samuel Levinson, president
of Hadassah, presided. The speakers
were introduced by Sol Esfeld.
BANQUET
(Continued from Page 1)
frantically organized a committee
of women to sponsor an affair, the
proceeds of which would go to aid
the unfortunate youngsters.
Raise $1,000 or More
Next Sunday evening in the Tal-
mud Torah Auditorium, a capacity
crowd will gather around banquet
tables. Every cent of the $2.50 each
diner paid--S1,000 or more-will be
forwarded to New York.
The women on Mrs. Luban's com-
mittee donated and will prepare all
the food. Officials of the Talmud
Torah made the auditorium avail-
able without cost. A sympathetic
community enthusiastically re-
sponded by buying tickets at a rate
which made the women fear at-
tendance would tax the hall's
capacity.
The banquet, which is scheduled
to start at 6 p. m., will be conclud-
ed by 9:30 p. m., so that those who
desire may attend the community-
wide dance sponsored by the Coun-
cil of Jewish Women at Temple
Center.
Rabbi Levine Speaker
Rabbi Raphael Levine will be the
principal speaker at the banquet.
The other rabbis of the community
will be guests of honor.
The committee of women in
charge includes Mrs. Myer Aron-
son, co-chairman; Mrs. Abe Nelson
hostess chairman; Mrs. L. Meltzer
ticket chairman; Mrs. N. Anches
treasurer; Mrs. M. Genauer, public-
ity chairman; Mrs. S. Boguch, re-
ceptionist, and Mrs. Saul Porush.
In addition, more than 50 women
have volunteered to serve the din-
ner.
GERSHWIN HONORED
NEW YORK (JPS) -- A unique
honor to the memory of George
Gershwin, who died in 1937, was
paid by Arturo Toscanini when he
opened his season with the NBC
Symphony Orchestra Sunday by in-
cluding "Rhapsody in Blue" on the
program as among the greatest
music written by Americans. This
will be the first time that Toscanini
has played the favorite composition
of the late Jewish composer. -

leave his house after a certain hour,
to buy his specially reduced rations
at hours and places other than those
prescribed by the police. In ad-
dition, the last remnants of his
earthly possessions were taken from
him: Money not kept in the bank
(on blocked accounts!), jewelry,
silver, gold (tooth-fillings graceful-
ly exempted!), any article of spe-
cial value, furs, woolen things, lin-
fen, cutlery and similar household
goods exceeding a certain number
or quanitty.
Real Persecution Begins
Meanwhile Poland had been over-
run and the real persecution of the
Jews, the large scale persecution,
not against some hundred thousand
but against several million, had be-
gun.
You have heard the words: "Ghet-
to of Warsaw"--"Ghetto of Riga"--
"Transport to Lubin," but do you
know what they mean?
The Ghetto walls in Poland hide
the most hideous crimes ever com-
mitted by man's brutality. Slow
death for millions by hunger, filth
and disease; sometimes quick death
by shooting or hanging; slave labor
in barracks for those who are still
able to work, especially for boys
and girls from twelve years up-
wards who have been taken away
from their parents and are not al-
lowed to write to them; a piece of
black bread and a watery soup their
only nourishment. The Germans
are in no way ashamed of the word
slave labor. I have seen postcards
written from such a camp which
has the officials address: "Zwang-
! sarbeitslager No.-- in ."
All this is beyond description.
Use your imagination, please. Think
of the half-forgotten incident of
1938, remember what I told you of
the "facts behind the facts."
There are still Jews left who
might escape slave labor or death
by starvation--the only alterna-
tives for Jews under Hitler. So
the yellow badge was introduced.
Now you can catch the Jew wher-
ever he may be, in the street or at
home. The yellow badge must be
borne not only if the Jew leaves
his house but also if he opens the
door of his flat or if he crosses
the inner courtyard of an apart-
ment house.
It must be borne by men, wom-
en and children from six years up.
It is now borne by the Jews in
Poland, "Greater Germany," Hol-
land, Belgium and occupied France.
With the exception of Denmark
and some slight alterations or
modifications here and there, all
the anti-Jewish laws and regula-
tions of Greater Germany are now
in force in all the German-oc-
cupied countries of Europe, and
they have been imitated by the
German-controlled Governments of
Rumania, Bulgaria, Slovakia and
Croatia.
There are--until now--two curi-
ous exceptions: Hungary and Italy.
They have, of course, their anti-
Jewish legislation, which makes
life difficult and humiliating
enough for the Jews of these coun-
tries.

articles will appear in the Nov. 16
issue of THE TRANSCRIPT.)

Bolivia Opposes
Anti-Jewish Bill
WASHINGTON (JTA)--The Be-
NEW YORK (JPS)--Five years
ago a refugee in the United States
from Hitlerism in Germany, Ser-
geant Julius Schellenberg has re-
paid with utmost devotion his debt
of loyalty to his new homeland,
America, receiving for his exploits
in battle the coveted Order of the
Purple Heart. He is believed to be
the first refugee serviceman to be
decorated since Pearl Harbor.
The story of Schellenberg's brav-
ery under fire is told by the Jew-
ish Welfare Board in its latest com-
pilation of Jewish heroes render-
ing distinguished service to their
country.
The 26-year-old sergeant was
decorated because, with other vol-
unteers in New Guinea, he entered
an ammunition dump to remove
explosives when they were threat-
ened by a grass-fire. To his sister
!in Brooklyn, Schellenberg, a na-
tive of South Germany, wrote:
"I'm tickled to death I got into
: action."
Staff Sergeant Joseph Locker,
New Brighton, Pa., has been cited
for valor under fire during the
i Jap attack on Pearl Harbor.
Killed In Action
The latest list of those killed in
action includes Lt. Jacques Sa-
phier, U. S. N. R. Medical Corps,
27, Brooklyn, killed in action while
i attending to the wounded directly
behind the front lines at Guadal-
canal in the Solomon Islands; Pi-
lot Officer Seymour Schatzberg,
New York, who enlisted in the R.
A. F. and met his death during air
operations on September 19 near
Kent, England; Radioman Joseph
Davis, U. S. N., Brooklyn, who
died when the American ship on
!which he was Operator Chief was
torpedoed by the enemy, and
Meyer Kashkin, New York, Mer-
chant Marine quartermaster, killed
when his ship was sunk in the
Caribbean Sea near Aruba. Ra-
dioman Jake Sachter, Portland,
Ore., Naval Air Corps, has been
reported missing in action "some-
where in the Atlantic."
To those killed in the line of
duty were added the names of
Lt Robert Mariam, Los Angeles,
killed in an air crash at Dale
Mabry Field, Florida; Second Lt.
Lewis H. Cohn, 22, New
killed in the crash of a Barksdale
Field bomber near Vinton, Calif.,
and Lt. David H. Kaufman, 27,
Army Signal Corps, who died in
the crash of a training plane off
the coast of England while work-
ing with the R. A. F. in electronics.
FINED BY JAPAN
GENEVA (JPS) -- Twenty Jew-
ish capitalists in Japan have been
fined 1,000,000 yens each, according
to an announcement by the Tokyo
radio. The fines, whose cause is not
stated, will be devoted to Japanese
charities.
of children will be selected under
standards established by the Chil-
dren's Bureau of the United States
Department of Labor.
In refusing to confirm the figure
of 5,000 children which Vichy an-
nounced would be permitted to go
to America, Acting Secretary
Welles stated however that the sug-
gested figure of 1,000 is inaccurate.
"Every step possible is being
taken in accordance with immigra-
tion laws to bring refugee children
from France to this country," Mr.
Welles said. "Every citizen of the
United States views with the ut-
most sympathy the desperate situa-
tion of the unfortunate children left
destitute in France by the deporta-
tion of their parents to Germany.
The United States government has
already protested vigorously against
the deportations."
The estimated cost of transferring
1,000 children is approximately $1,-
000,000 or $1,000 per child. It is esti-
mated that there are about 8,000
Jewish children in France today
whose parents have been delivered
to the Nazis. Discussions are under
way with other western hemisphere
countries for admission of some of
the children.
BECOMES SOVIET GENERAL
KUIBYSHEV (JPS)--Among the
29 newly-appointed Russian gen-
erals is Moisei Levin, who has be-
come a general in the Russian Air
Force.
Livian Government opposes the re-
cent bill introduced in the Chamber
of Deputies which would bar the
admission o{ Jews to that country,
it was made known through the
Inter-American Jewish Council.
The bill was introduced by pro-
Nazi elements in order to embar-
rass the Government. It is not like-
ly that it will be passed by the Sen-
ate and, in any event, will be ve-
toed by the President of Bolivia,
the council was assured.
Anti'American
Speeches Given
BUENOS AIRES (JTA) -- Anti-
American and anti-Jewish speeches
were delivered here at a mass-
meeting arranged by the pro-Axis
Nationalist Youth Alliance. The
meeting was attended by more than
18,000 people. General Juan Bau-
tista Molina, an Alliance leader,
was among the speakers who at-
tacked the Jews and the United
States.
RETURN TO CITIES
GENEVA (JPS) -- The Jews of
i Kobe Yokohama and other im-
i portant Japanese cities who were
;evacuated soon after the outbreak
of the war have been permitted by
the Japanese government to return
to their homes, it is reported here.
