Hadassah Meeting Next Tuesday at Temple
NEW-YORK (WNS)—"My drama, T'lie Road of l^romi.se,' is my answer to the World for all its accusations against thc Jewish people,". Franz Wcrfel, world- famous poet, playwright, and novelistj told the Seven Arts Feature Syndicate on his arrival here for his first visit to the ,United States.. ' Emphasising that his forthcoming biblical, spectacle, which will he ^produced by. Max Reinhardt, will be the strongest, exposition of everything dealing with .Jewish problems. Werfel saitl.that he had,recently steeped himself in the lore of the Kabbala and the Tal¬ mud and had devoted a great deal of time to studying Jewish theology. On the basis of the inspiration drawn from these sources the "Road of Promise" will show what the Jews have contributed to the world and how the world reacts to those achievements. . Describing the "Road of Promise" as a "Jewish Passion Play," Werfel explained that it is based on the Old Testament,, that its heroes are figures from the Bible who will use biblical I.an- guage.
Recalling tha:t he had visited Palestine iii 1924 and 1929, Werfel said thit his Tuesday. visits to Palestine brought hitn closer to the Jewish people and their traditions and convinced him that it is. God's wish that the Jews shall build.Palestine as a Jewish homeland. He expressed the opinion that the peojpie who gave the Bible to the world have their futui-e in Palestine. Re¬ vealing that he l^d written a number of articles oh this point aild that he had done some work for the Keren Hayesod, the great literary genius called those who work for Palestine "soldiers of the BiGle." Werfel also said that he was very familiar with the work of Bialik, Asch, Peretz, Ansky and other Jewish writers.;. "The gi;eate^t production on the world stage is the life and work of the Jews in Palestinei;" he asserted^ "My latest work, 'The Road of Promise' was inspired by the achievements of the JeWs in -Palestine."
Although he declined to discuss politics, Werfel took, occasion to point out that there was no danger of Austria going Nazi because the Austrians were an in¬ dependent people ,who:would'neVer toler¬ ate German domination. For this, reason arid also because the.present governmenl thete was led by men of culture there was little chance.of Austrian Jewry .suf¬ fering the: fate of German.; Jewry, he said. .Werfel also took occasion to em¬ phasize that he had been living in Vienna for many years and that he had not,been in Germaiiy. since im-1. Nevertheless, his hooks are banned in, Naziland and he has been expelled from the German lit¬ erary societies. He.will remain in this country only a short time but will not leave until: after the premiere of "The Road of-Promise" on December. 23'rd. SCHANFARBER TO ADDRESS JUNIOR HADASSAH GROUP

.NEW   YORK   (WNS)—Usurpation of the right of the  Anicrican-athlete to decide   for  himself whether  or  not  the Olymiiic code is being observed jn Nazi Germany,   betrayal   of   the   standards   of American  sportsmanship, an "attempt to throttle  free discussion  of the  Olympic issue and  an effort to  intimidate those who   oppose   American   participation   in tlic  Olympic  Games  were   the  charges hurled by Judge Jeremiah, T.

NEW YORK (WNS)—Pending final wortj from Washington, approval pf ah order for German steel to be'used in the construction of the great Tri-Borough Bridge is being held up as a result of the natipn-wide protests against the Pubr lie \Vorks Athninistrator's policy of au¬ thorizing- the use of. government relief funds for the purchase of German steel. .¦\lthoiigh .Robert Moses, executive ofticer- antl secretary of' the Bridge Authority, which i.s builVhng the span with PWA funds, refused "to get steamed up" over  .lie iltsclosnre that 500 tons of German steel have been ordered for the-bridge, Nathan Burkan, another^ member of the Bridge. Authority; took the lead in protesting. Similar protests- were voiced by the Iron and, Steel- In¬ stitute'; josc[)li P. Ryan, chairman of the Central Trades aiid Labor Council and president of the Tnternatiohal Long¬ shoremen's Associ;ttion; David Dubinsky, vice-president of-tlie American Federa¬ tion of Labor; Eugene Larkin, presidept of the 77th Division Association; Con- gressmah.Andrew L. Soiiiers; the Non- Sectarian Anti-NaKi League, Bernard S. Deutsch, president of the Board of Alder¬ men; and Borough Presidents Lyons, Levy and Harvey, of the Bronx, Man¬ hattan and Queens, the, three boroughs to be linked by the bridge. All of the protests emphasized that the order' for German steel'-was discrimination against American labor and industry and de¬ manded that the contract be cancelled. Spokesmen for PWA-tlefendcd the con¬ tract on the ground that the rules pro¬ vide that foreign bids on orders of more than $10,000 may be accepted if they are 15 percent less- than domestic offers. American steel niainifacturcrs and Amer¬ ican labor leaders contend, however, that (hey can't compete with, German con¬ cerns on these terms because of low labor costs in Germany and government subsidies to Nazi gteel manufacturers. These factors result in dumping by Ger¬ man concerns doing business in this country, • .
Arthur   Brisbane,   in   his   syndicated
tests when he said that "this country does not want to finance HitJerisni." "It is actually true that .spenders of taxpay¬ ers', money engaged in constructing New York'.'! Tri-Borbiigli Bridge decided to buy steel for that in Germany," he de¬ clared. -"A saving of money is involved, naturally, since wages in Germany are below Ainerician wages. But what about .American workers and .-Xmerican-wages? The government is spending thousands of ¦milljons giving work to the idle.' Must it spiend more millions in Gerinany to i:

•Accusing the American aiid Interna¬ tional Olympic Cpmniittees bf "acbm- plete unwillingness ,-, to remember the pledges exacted , from- .Nazi Germany" and charging the American Committee witir "making a determined effort to pre¬ vent American athletes and the American people fi-oiri learning the true facts' con¬ cerning the violation of those pledges" and \vith seeking "to obscure the issue by making unscrupulous attacks upon those who favor American withdrawal from the Olympic Games if they are held .in Germany," Judge Mahoney declared that "Messrs, Brundage and Sherrill have reduced the Olympic Gaines to the level of a junket to Europe for a few hundred American athletes and have squeezed out of them all chivalry, all.fair play and all sportsmanship.'
Referring to the Olympic Cominittee's recent pamphlet entitled "Fair Play for American Athletes" in'which.the Commit¬ tee sought to defend, its position, Judge Mahoney  called  thJxt pamphlet  "an  ap-
play arc nut the cause of athletes, then thictcs have no caiisc whatever except victory, and all the talk of the American Olympic Committee abpiit thc high stand¬ ards of .sportsmanship is sheer hypocrisy. , Why shouldn't the 250 athletes who, will make up the U. S. Olympic team be, asked to give up a trip to Europe, if thereby.; they will, be defending the principles of sportsmanship'and Americanism?" ,
Charging that "it is an insuh to believe as Messrs. Brundage, and Sherrill believe that American athletes are less Ameri¬ can, less intelligent,, less courageous than any' other   section   of   bur   population," Judge ¦ Mahoney said that "for our part, we refuse to believe that American ath¬ letes value the pi^oVtunity to compete in the games more dearly than they value' fair   play"   and   "as   for  the   American Olyihpic   Gommittee,   they   have   clearly  - ruled themselves out as leaders bf Ameri¬ can sportsmanship by their un-American. .perversion of the principles and the facts relating to the Olympic Games."    Judge Malioney also pointed out that both the American    and    International    Olympic Committees have niade an about-face on the  question -since,-1933 withotifhavirig , obtained the opinion of a full ineeting of those committees in the pasf two years. Judge Mahoney woiind up this  blunt attack by declaring that "for our part, we refuse to believe that American ath¬ letes are less able than'the lawyers, phy-  . sicians and, business men. who comprise the American Olympic, Committee to de-" cide this momeritoijs question for them¬ selves in an American'way.   That is why, despite all  the efforts' df the American Olympic Committee to curb free discus-, siqn, the question of whether or hot the United . States . should participate  in the Olympic Games will come up before the' rational convention, of the Amateur Ath-^ letic. Union wherein the athletes, are rep¬ resented. : There, American athletes will have an oppoirturiity to¦ decide for them¬ selves, ^vhethe^ or not they wish to an¬ swer the summons of Adolf Hitler."      ,   .

And do not those ' that would spend taxpayers' money to buy German steel know that they would thus give business approval to Chancellor Hitler's shameful and cowardly religious and raciar persecution?

Will this country use taxpayers' money to* build tip German industry and. supply funds to peri>etuate a government based on cruelty, super.*!tilion and cowardice, under a dic¬ tator who is not a German?

WASHINGTON (WNS)~PWA of¬ ficials here believe tliat Germany is pre¬ paring a wast scheme, to dump German steel in this country in order to get some of the business from the $327,000,000 PWA building program.

After rer calling that in- BCW, Messrs. Brundage, Kirby - and Sherrill. had talccn the lead in demanding that Germany give guaran¬ tees that she would observe the Olympic code as a. condition of American partici¬ pation, Jiidge Mahoney charged Brundage with concealing evidence and Sherrill with having fallen a victim to Nazi propaganda. Judge-Mahoney also pointed out that if it was hot mcddlihg in Ger¬ man domestic affairs in 1933, for the American and International Olympic Committees to demand pledges "why is it meddling In German domestic affairs fqr Anierica to withdraw from the games in 1935 because these very same pledges have been broken?"
Reviewing in great detail the evidence of Germany's discrimination against Jew¬ ish, Catholic and Protestant athletes and her flagrant violation of her pledges, Judge Mahoney asserted that the Ameri¬ can Olympic Committee accuses "those who oppose American participation" of "attempting to make athletes martyrs to a cause which is not their own" without "[producing a single bit bf evidence to show there is no discrimination and that^ the Olympic code is being upheld,"- He <leclared that "if sportsmanship and fair
German Jews Are Told tio Prepare for Mass Exodus
, BERLIN (WiNS)—Emulating the ' example of l^ith century Spain, the Hit- Ici" "government has served notice on German Jewry, through the leaders of ' the Berlin kehillah, that" it must leave the country, and that it would be advisa- . hie. for the Jews themselves to: make plans no\^r tci carry out this, mass emigra¬ tion.
