N We  are     reliably     infnn-ned that the Moyne murclCT is being used by the British Qolonial Of¬ fice, -with Win.ston     Churchill's sanction, as a ju.9liflration    for freezing Zionist demands  foi'  a commonwealth  ...  A  number of Christian friends of Zionism are preparing a blast against the British  Prime  Minister,  taking him to task for exaggerating tli£ political significance of the Moy¬ ne assas-slnatlon .  .  .    One    of .America's most brilliant jurists —• a non-Jew — has been asked to study the Moyne case with a view to help the defen.se . . . The press didn't give much space to news,  but  we think  It's  quite Important   to   know   that   Mar- shal"srito abolished all the anti .fewlsk laws In Belgrade exact¬ ly six Ihours after he had enter¬ ed the city . . . Thank.s'   to    a Renter's  correspondent    named John  Evans,  a  violin  concerto written by a victim of the Luli- lln  concentration  camp  Maida- _ neck has been saved for poster Ity, we hear . .  . Evans found the manuscript among the mis¬ cellaneous relics the Nazis pre¬ served of their victims . . . He forwarded   the   concerto   com¬ posed by a young man Ernst J. Weil, to the OWI, and Joseph Sxigeti may give it Its first pub¬ lic performance ... WBTEN HBRE . . . m Few men keep their ears as close to the ground  as 'Walter Wlnchell.      Walter  senses   the slightest   rumble   emanating from  subterranean    subversive headquarters here . . . The oth¬ er' day he told us that anti-Semi¬ tism had received a shot In the arm from the political hooligan groups that fought Roosevelt in the recent campaign . . . No-w more than ever vigilance and counterattack are needed Wal¬ ter warns . . Keep In mind, too, that the KKK is not disbanding in the South . . . Several of Its most potent political groups are mobilizing for total war on lab¬ or — or, to be exact, on the AFL unions  in  their  territory  .  .  . A hopeful noted reaches us from Detroit, however . . . Out of the 850,000 votes cast in that city on November    7th,    G«rald  L.  li. Smith's   America   First   party polled exactly 625 .. . The vfetei-s of Detroit, It seems, preferred not to clear It -with Gerald . . . But as for the printer who puts out Smith's "The Cross and the Flag" -.- he must feel like a rat . . . For he Is one of the people ¦whom   the   Reverend   Smith wants to sterilize. INTEKIM HEPOBT , . . pai Frederick Heath, who attack¬ ed Rabbi S. Steinberg on a rail- ' road train en route to Stamford Conn., has been sentenced to six months in Jail and a $100 fine ... To us the sentence seems rather mild . . .
