^ Orchids lo Philip Lee Bush and Mrs. Lloyd Dinkelsplel, members of the San Francisco Board of Education . . . Both refused to be .Intimidated and, aa good Americans conperned with the malntenace of abso¬ lute separation of churfch and state, voted with the majority of the non-Jewish members against the adoption o{ release time for religious Instruction for public school children . . . They are right, of course . . . Heligious in.structlon belongs not In the American public school system but to the chur¬ ches and synagogues . . Besides, they know that antl-Semltlc hooliganism on the part of the minors occurs most frequently in such .spots In the Union as have adopted release time . . Our hats Is off to Harry V. Op¬ penhelmer, who has been a lead er in the succe.ssfu! fight lo end ,lim Crow restrictlon.s at Syden ham Hospital, the first New York voluntary hospital to erase the color line In the appoint¬ ment of doctors and nurses . . . Cornelius Vanderbllt, who gets around among the 400, reports that "certain of the wealthier, older coupon clippers are vit- rlollcally anti-Semitic ... To hear them talk you would think you were listening to conversa¬ tions at Berchtestaden" . . . Very interesting . . .
OVERSEAS REPOUT . . .
1^ We may hope that by the time you read this all of Holland will have been liberated from the Nazi yoke . . . But in the meantime we want to pass on the report that in the city of Zwolle the Nazis, after getting rid of all the living .lews turned their attention to the Jewish dead — and transformed the local Jewish cemetery Into a re- crealion gi'ound . . . The tomb¬ stones, we may add, were sent to another city, where they were sold on the open market . . Dr. Sven Hedin, the great Swed¬ ish scientist and explorer, who Is a rabid pro-Nazi unto this day, is partly Jewish, and if he had lived in Germany he would have been one of the four mil¬ lion Jewish victims of the Nazis . , . When Manfred von Killlng- er, self-confessed expert In poli¬ tical murder, was the Nazi Con¬ sul General at San Francisco, we protested against his pres¬ ence in this country, and never thought that the day would come when we would approve one of his acts . . . But now we give him the posthumous award of our approval of his machine gunning of a number of Nazi representatives just before his recent suicide at Bucharest
P. O. W. — WOW .
1^ The ne plus ultra In gall was recently exhibited by a Nazi prisoner of war at present In this countiy . . . The Nazi, Leon^ ard Lyons tells us, had been a painter in civilian life, and as such had known quite a few art dealers . . . When he reached America the P. O. W, learned that a Jewish dealer, despoiled by the Nazis, had managed to establish an art gallery In New York ... So the Nazi wi'ote to this Jew, recalling their ac¬ quaintance — and asking for paint and canvas, plus the prota Ise of an eventual one-man show In the refugee's gallery (Continued on Page 8)

Thru it, the creation ot a richer com¬ munity life, the preservation of Jewish values, and the defense of Jewish dignity ran become truly an expression of the com¬ munity as a whole, irrespective of other doctrinal differences.

NKW VORK (WNS)—A five- point program of clearance and coordination on Jewish Civic protective work in the United Stales was adopted here at the close ot a three-day conference ot the National Community Re¬ lations Advisory Council. The conference, attended by repre¬ sentatives of six national and eighteen local community civic protective agencies, elected Da¬ vid Sher of New York as chair¬ man ot the Council.

In his report as executive di¬ rector, Isaiah Minkoff revlew- otl tlie activities of the National Communily Relations Advisory Council since its inception on March Kith of this year, and ex¬ pressed his belief that "the in¬ dividual agencies should con¬ tinue the functioning end ot the job, and the NCRAC should con¬ cern it.s^lf with the task ot eval¬ uating, analyzing and (|uestion- ing".
