Indeed, the Army Is alleged to have removed Jewish officers because of Nazis protests . . . When this story breaks It will violently rock the boat In which some of our officials recline so complacently . . . The reason why Leon Blum and other Allied statesmen are still alive in Ger¬ many is that the Nazis are hold¬ ing them against the day of re¬ tribution, when they wlJl serve as hostages . . .

NEW YOBK (JPS)—Israele ZoUl, former CWef Rabbl of Rome, who, with his wife and daughter was converted to Cath- olism, told correspondents that his conversion was "concerned with heating voices and receiv¬ ing rays", according to George Brla, Associated Press corres¬ pondent cabling from Rome.
He is quoted as follows: "No, I shaji never stop loving the Jews, r did not abandon the Jews to become a Catholic. I did not compare the Jewish religion to Catholicism and abandon one for the other.
¦ "This has been going on In me for years, tens ot years. It is the great tragedy of my Ufe.
"It you have a deiecate, ex¬ quisite religious perception you will understand my conversion. It was entirely internal. It was concerned with hearing voices and receiving rays. In that way I slowly, almost imperceptibly, became a Christian and could no longer be a Jew. I could no longer be dishonest to my flock".
The Union of Orthodox Rabbis of the United States and .(ianada revealed that Dr. Zolli was not an orthodox rabbi, and Dr. Jacob Hoffman, prominent refugee rabbi, said that Dr. Zolli was a known opponent of Zionism.
Dr. Kieinlehrer, Italian-Jew¬ ish writer, asserted here that Dr. Zolli, whose name originally NVas Zohiner, was "humble be¬ fore fascism", and that he is er- roneou.siy described as Chief Rabbi ot Rome, because there were no other rabbis there. —Bny W.'ir Bonllii—
