Congratula¬ tions to the Exide storage bat¬ tery people on the Ajds repre¬ sentative they are featuring in their ads — an individual with Hitler forelock and mustache, the Hirohito eyes and teeth and the Benito chin and jowls . . .

It .seems that the German Jewish    statesman    whom    the Nazis   murdered   while  he   was serving as Minister to Foreign Affairs in the Weimar republic, had once flirted with the idea of' Zionism   to  the  extent  of  sub¬ scribing to Die Welt, the Zionist publication  which  Herzl  edited, . . . An editor writes in to say that that headline about "'17,000 Jews     in   Palestine    All-Jewish Regiment Poised to    Strike    at! Axis", to which we objected lastl week on the grounds that it is misleading,   was   taken  from     ^ United Palestine Appeal release, . . . He adds that he still doesn't! believe us when we tell him that| there are hardly 10,000  Jewish soldiers from Palestine Ip Brit¬ ish combit units . . . Well, he's right when he says we made a mistake on that point . . . Actual-; ly there are less than 6,000 of thei enlisted Palestinian Jewish boysi in combatant service outside of| Palestine . . .

A report card    dating from Adolf's school days is fea¬ tured in Ludwig Wagner's new book, "HlUer: Man of Strife". The item that  interests  us on that report is one reading: "Penman¬ ship—Disagreeable" . . . That, it seems to us, adequately sums up the  Fuehrer's  personality  .  . .
