Little did the 133 seniors ot the Bexley High School grad¬ uates realize at the commence¬ ment exercises held Thursday night, June 6, that thfey had in their midst a National Scholar¬ ship winner at Harvard College. Neither did Richard Yalman, son of Mr and Mrs. Ben G. Yal¬ man, 2662 E. Broad St. But this week young Yalman, age 17, was officially notified as win¬ ner ot this coveted prize by the officials of the Harvard Nation¬ al Scholarship committee.
There are only 15 of these Harvard Scholarships awarded In 1940 to Incoming freshmen residing and attending schools In twelve states ot the union. They carry a stipend sufficient¬ ly large, if necessary, to meet all of the student's essential col¬ lege and Uving expenses. Suc¬ cessful, ^ppUcants,.. who ,^maln-
cohtmue tb htild their scholar¬ ships throughout their college course and, in some cases, throughout graduate study.
It is interesting to note that Richard ranked second In his class of 133 at Bexley High School. He was a member of the Senior Honor Society and National Honor Society for high school students. In his freshman year he won first In the district and state in biology. In his JuiUor year Richard was first In the district emd state In chemistry and in his senior year ranked first In the district In phjrslcs. In the state-wide aU-senior examina¬ tions held March 30, he rated second In the district and 20th in the state in general scholar¬ ship. There were 5600 seniors In Ohio taking these examina¬ tions in five subjects.
Richard attended the Bryden Road Temple reUglous school and also studied Hebrew under Rabbi Nathan Zelizer of the East Broad St. Temple. He has a brother, Maurice Lee, age 19, a junior at Ohio State Univer¬ sity In the coUcge of commerce, and a sister, Marjorle, age 13, an eighth grade pupil at Bexley Junior High.
The OMo Jewish Chronicle congratulates Richard upon this high honor as do we his parents, Mr. and Mrs. B. G. Yahnan, and wish for him a glorious future as a scientist, an achievement which no doubt will shed lustre upon hhnselfand his people as well.
LONDON (WN.Sl—An Inrll- cation that the lo.'ise.q .suffered by the Nazi Army .since it.s in¬ vasion of the Low Countries' must be enormous wa.s furnish¬ ed by two report.s reaching here. One report stated that the Nazis had ordered the release of all Jewish doctors imprison¬ ed in concentration camps throughout Greater Germany and recently acquired Nazi ter¬ ritories. German doctors are unable to cope with the number of wounded soldiers, the report said, and Nazi authorities found It necessary to call upon Jewish doctors for service.
AU Jewish doctors in Austria, Poland, Czechoslovakia, the Scandinavian and Low Coun¬ tries, in addition to those in Germany itself, have been or¬ dered to report to Nazi mllltary hospitals. Jewish physicians in concentration camps have been released for war duty. Se¬ vere penalties have been an¬ nounced the report said, tor Jewish ¦ doctors to refuse to work In military hospitals.
The second report said that Nazi authorities, alarmed at the extent of the German loses, are considering drafting Jews for active miUtary service, a rever¬ sal of the Nazi decree of 1938 which barred Jews from the army.     Since the licginning of
Meanwhile, the official Nazi radio and newspapers have launched a concerted attack on Jews In the United States and Argentina, charging that the the war, last September, Jews have been conscripted into labor battalions but have not been re¬ quired to serve with the army. (Continued on rage 3)
