Is there any possible connection be¬ tween General Charles II. Shcrrill's pro- Olympic projKiganda and his life-long ambition to be United Stales ambassador to tiermany?...Any cliance the General ever had to rc[)resent Uncle Sam iu Ber¬ lin is now gone forever. ..Ilclcne Mayer won't admit it but thc real reason that she finally accepted the invitation to rep¬ resent Germany in the 19311 Olympics was thc terrific pressure brought to bear on her by her mother who is a pure Aryan-.. It is curious that Hclenc's brother, who is also a crack swordsman, has not been asked to fence for Ger¬ many, .. Incidentally Miss Mayer has been deluged with letters both congratu¬ lating her and bitterly criticizing her for accepting that invitation...High govern¬ ment officials in Washington have re¬ ceived at least 1,000,000 letters from va¬ rious parts of thc colmtry demanding the elimination of Jews from public oflice...

Personalia Congratulations are in order for Mor¬ ris Margulics, popular secretary of the Zionist Organization of America, who re¬ cently eloped...No one knew about it until Morris* absence from thc last inecL- ing of the Zionist Administrative Com¬ mittee attracted attention.. .Since he ne\cr misses a nieeting, his little .secret (luickfy came to light.. .Maurice J. Karp, one of the American members of tlie Jewish Agency Executive; js creating considerable talk in Zionist circles by his mysterious mission to Biro Bidjan...The tour o£ tiic American Ballet was can¬ celled suddenly because its manager, Alexander Ma>erovitdi, went insane and had to be put in a straight jacket...The gtie-ils at that party that Motly Bitingon, fur magnate^ threw for Max Reinhardt, could easily h.i\c imaginc<l themselves at a League of Nation*, meeting hccause almost every Icnown language was si>oken at the bloivout..,.
Sports Cbatf Just so you won't be surprised wc're^ telling you now that a group of promi- ucin American athletes, all fanious for their achievements in one particular sport, are readying a hot statcnicnt ou the Olympic situation.. .Buddy Myer, second baseman of tljc Washington Sena¬ tors and American League batting cham¬ pion, will be wearing Yankee livery next season...And Phil Weintraub will be drawing his meal tickets from the Phil¬ lies, , .Milt Galalzcr, Cleveland outfielder, is a bang-up cartoonist aud is now branching out into oil iiainting..

Rabbi Nathan Zelizer Elected Pres. Cok. Zionist District

The Exccu- tiv e Board will consist of the above named officers and twelve additional members to be -chosen by the officers during  thc coming  week.
XIlW YORK—Or. Stephen S. Wise yesterday politely informed Brigadier- General .Sherrill and Mr. Avciv Briinddge ihat the Jewish people would not be intimidated by their threats of anli-ScmUibni and the American people hj their attempts to distort the Olympic issue into an effort to deprive the .Ameri¬ can athlete from an opportunity to par¬ take in intcrnattoiial athlclic contests.
Speaking as rabbi of thc Free Syna¬ gogue in his pulpit at Carnegie Hall Sun¬ day afternoon, Dr. Wise came to grips with thc American representative on the International Olympic Committee and the President of the American Olympic Committee, informing them that Jews as other Americans wouid continue to fight for the preservation of the Ameri¬ can traditions of sportsman ship and fair play and would refu.se to be intimidated. He attacked the allegation that thc issue involved in the question of American nonparlicipation in the Olympic Games in Nazi Germany is a Jewish issue, and discussed Gen. Sherrill's warning, "that a great anti-Semitic movement will he at hand if Jevvs proceed in this fight", in the following terms:
"If this cxtraordinaiy prediction of -Mr. Sherrill's be true as I believe it to be false and insuUing to thc iutelligcncc and the character of the American peo¬ ple, then neither he nor wc would be able to avert such an anti-Semitic move¬ ment.

TKMPLE FORUM MEETING
Leim Gelimaa
Ihe Teniple Forum meeting will be held Wednesday, Nov. I'MU, 8:00 p. m. at the Bryden Rd, Temple. All incinbcrs are urged lo be present. 1
I wonder", asks Dr, Wise, "whether anyone will think it fair and sportsman¬ like to quote a letter written in June, 193^1 as expressive of a state of mind which must needs obtain 2% years later and after thc incredible change for the worse which has hapi>cncd in Nazi Ger¬ many, There arc certain tliing.s which Gen. Sherrill oinit<;, things which have shocked the civilized world, things which hapi>ened to the lasting shame  of Ger¬
many, in  Xurcmberg while Gen. rill was present."
He reminds Gen. Sherrill lliat thc dis- criininalion in sjiorts has been extended from the Jews lo include Catholics and Protestants as wcll\ that thc free and in- depeiidciil character of sports in Ger¬ many has been crushed, that athletics have been placed niidcr thc control of N'a/i ofiicials; that race and politics arc now tests of athletic prowess, that the Olympic Games arc controlled by tlic Na/i Government to further its own ends.
Relurning lo the allegations direct and implied, made by Gen. Sherrill ai}d Mr. Brundage that this i^ a Jewish issue, Dr. Wise declared, "If ever there was an American issue it is at stake here and now. For in the presence of Gen- ShcrriU thc NSzi regime at Nuremberg did not so much insult aud offend and hurt Jews, as it violated everything Americans hold dear. To say a.s these gcntlcnieti do that Jews are asking the American people to pull their chestnuts ont oi the fire is to imply that 1^0 mil¬ lion Americans have no judgment of their own on moral problems of the first or¬ der, and that nothing is involved except the possibility of saving the amour propre of Jews, This is pre-judgment of thc gravest character, for it is an attempt to distort thc entire case in the sight of the -American people."
Pie challenges the use by Sherrill of the words of General Ulysses S. Grant at Apiwmattax. "General Grant", Dr. Wise pointed out, "said 'let us have peace*, after a war to liberate slaves. General .Sherrill say.s, 'let us have peace', in the midst of a savage war to en.slave the free."
Thc acceptance by Hclcne Mayer of the invitation to participate in the Olym¬ pics as a member of the German Olympic Team is no cause for peace as Gen. Sher¬ rill woul^ have the world believe, as¬ serted Dr. Wise. "One would like to know under what compulsion Miss Mayer acted. Has she relatives in Germany? Was she free to decline? What would have been the fate of Iter kinfolk if she had declined?"
He derides Uie attempts of Mr. Brun¬ dage to, invoke the counsel of George Washington to the American people to refrain from interfering in foreign af¬ fairs to apply to the Olympic Games, and points out that Mr. Brundage refuses to take into' accoimt thc violation by Nazi Germany of every moral cqde of humanity. He a.sks whether if the In¬ ternational Olympic Comniittee were now meeting to determine thc place of the Olympic Games, it would dream of giv¬ ing the Games to Nazi Germany.

COMMUF
BERLIN (WNS)--On thc alert to discover new avenues into which lo ex¬ tend the anti-Jewish crusade, the Nazi Labor Front has instructed all of its members who may be tenants of Jewish landlords to move as quickly aa possible. Factories throughout thc land were placarded with po.ster5 announcing this new measure against the Jews. Jewish war veterans were also the subject of a new Nazi Order when the director of the Prussian state lottery office announced thc immediate dismissal of all Jewish employe^. Jews, like Christian employes in the lottery office, are all wounded vet¬ erans who have' liecti certified as at least 7-'! percent incapacitated. A new means (if speeding'up the elimination of Jews from' tlie country's economic life was evolved by a court Jn Franfort-oii-Main when it ruled tlut an Aryan who buys out a Jew may aniibunce that he will .not employ Jews and thus avoid the legal uec<t^sity of giving such employes llirce months notice. Still another blow was dealt to the Jews in the economic field when it bccante known that tbe ^ ministr>' of commerce was preparing a law to regulate thc rights of stock cor¬ porations. This law is to be trained in a manner as fo facilitate the elimination of JewishVstockholders. Meanwhile the Slchwarze Corps; official organ of Hit- ler^s blackshirts, called on German firms to take immediate steps to replace tiieir Jewish agents abroad with Aryan repre¬ sentatives.
A concrete step toward the establish¬ ment of the ghetto was taken when the new Jewish Intellectual Institute, created by Propaganda Minister CioebbeU, was officially opened under the direction of Dr. Joachim Prinz, Zionist leader. The Institute will be forced to use the Jew¬ ish calendar. In his opening address Dr. Prinz said ' that "the anti-Semitic laws ban us from German culture. We'col¬ laborated with it for centuries and fur¬ nished such inen a^ Heinrich Heine and
-Mendelssohn. We feel in comnuinion with it, and I think that it is impossible to distinguish the Jewish part from the German part. That is as much as to tell you how difiicult it is to create a sjiecifically German Jewish culture. Eighty percent of us no longer know how to read Hebrew. We are not a national minority, but we are treated as such. At thc same time, the incasiireE taken against us have provoked a sharp defensive reaction among our young jieo- jile. More than 10,000 students have registered for our Hebrew courses. Eighty-five sections have been organized. In order to meet the demands for the re-crcaliou of a German Jewish culture, we will turn to the past and seek a Pales¬ tinian renaissance."
Many Suicides LONDON (WNS)—A veritable epi¬ demic of suicides among middle-aged and elderly persons is sweeping German Jewry, according to reports in the Social- Demokrateu, organ of German emigres. On thc basis of letters received from corrcbjiondents in Germany, the paiier says that the wave of epidemics is par- ticulurly heavy 111 the provincial towns. Tile obituary columns report these sui¬ cides as ordinary deaths but the relatives of the victims know the truth. Even the Jewish burial societies are suppressing the news of the suicides out of fear.
