HEINRICH HIMMLER COMPLETES PLANS FOR MASS "EXTERMINATION" OF POLISH JEWS $30,000 Year Earned By N. Y. Jewish Broadcaster NEW VORK (JPS) — The dream of every "luftmensch" to achieve success through his in¬ genuity has been realized in the case of C. Israel Lutsky, who, as "The Jewish Philosopher" dis¬ pensing pills of wisdom in Yid¬ dish on the Forward's Radio Station WEVD, earns $30,000 a year, putting him among the "big-time" earners of Anierica,n radio, it is reported by Variety, theatrical weekly. Lutsky, .said to be the highest paid foreign language broadcast¬ er in American radio, has 15 programs a week, the principal ones of which are Contented can ned milk and Camay soap. A Ukrainian Jew, who was brought to the United States when he was 5, Lutsk.v started broadcast work many years ago. 11 was not until he cqncelved the idea of doing a Yiddish "Voice of Ex perience" that success began to come lo him. Lutsky is now do. ing so well as an announcer, newscaster and ''pbilosopber' that his brothpr, Jack Luth, de¬ votes ail his lime to the job of being his business manager. GENEVA (JPS)—The shadow', of another hangman now lies over the Jews of Nazified Po¬ land, as reports reaching here from Wars:iw disclosed thai Helnrlch Himmler, Gestapo chief, had spent a week in the former Polish capital and had worked out detail.^ of a plan aim¬ ing at the "mass extermination" of the .lews of Poland. Swiss corresjmndents state that the campaign of legalized murder is to be hailed as a "pun¬ itive" attempt to "pacify" rest¬ less Poland and to clear anti- Nazi guerrillas out of the coun¬ try. The .lews are alleged by the Nazis to ho the ringleaders of these saboteurs anfl are, there¬ fore, feeling Ihe weight of a reign of brutality such as the outside world is likely to disbe¬ lieve because of the immensity of ils horror. The Nazi Governor of Lublin, Herr Zorn, announced that 2(>,- 000 Jews recently transferred to Maidan Tatarsky ha<l all been shot. Xn Rgdom, 47 .lews were slain. All German Jews who had recenlly been deixirled to Minsk from R. A. F.—^ravagetl Ham¬ burg were reported shot to death. The Swiss newspapers publish¬ ing these reports declare that as many as 110,000 Jews have lost their lives in Poland during the ,last,,two mc)pthSi,alone,, ¦'-These-; wholesale i ^'punlUve'; executions are apart from the indlscrlmihiite pogroms of Jews which the Nazis initiated in the Warsaw ghetto during the past t^o weeks. Bands of Black Storm Troopers are raiding the streets of the Warsaw ghetto, ar¬ resting Jews for "deportation," a new Nazi term for execution. Jews protesting against their ar¬ rest are shot on the spot. In Warsaw and throughout Poland the de.spair that has grip¬ ped the Jews is unprecedented ince the Nazis first invaded the land. Wholesale family suicides are frequently reported. Their persecutors are not orty the im¬ ported Storm Troopers ot Ger¬ many but Latvian, Lithuanian and Ukrainian Fascists who have been given this special as¬ signment of dealing with "anti- Fascists." , According to the Nazi version, which is reported in the Swed¬ ish press, the "deportation" of .lews to unspecified destinations has started on a large scale in Warsaw. Lodz and other cities which Germany has decided to annex to the Third Reich. An illu.stratlon of the brutal¬ ity with which the Nazis treat the Jews shipped to Poland Is provided by a Stockholm news¬ paper, which reports that on March 2fith 145 German Jews were pul on a sealed freight train destined for Pinsk. Owing to starvation, congestion, expos¬ ure and unhygienic conditions typhus broke out among the ex¬ iles. Instead of removing the few typhus cases trom the car, the Nazis left It standing on a track at a small village near Brest-Ll- tovsk, with the words "Danger— Tjiphus—^Don.'!;, Touch,", prmpln.- peasants of the vlllage''teportea'- to the Nazi authorities that a terrible stench was coming from the van. A few days later Ger¬ man sappers opened the locked vehicle and found all 145 exiled Jews dead and in advanced stages of decomposition. All the iKxlies were burned in one funer¬ al pyre. Call For Workers In Advanced First Aid Mrs. Robert Levy, 78 S. Drexel Ave., dislricl leader of the Bex¬ ley Emergency Medical Corps under Ohio Civilian Defense aus¬ pices, has Lssued a call for work¬ ers trained in advanced First Aid. Those not yet having this training are urged to sign up for classes as soon as possible. The Bexley Corps met Monday evening at Bexley High School at which time Dr. C. C. Sher- bourne explained the extreme necessity of forming such units, Mrs. Levy pointed oul the patrio¬ tic duty Involved and is request ing volunteers to call her for further informalion at FA. 8420.

WILLS $0(1,000 TO THREE UNIVERSITIES NEW YORK (JPS)—Columbia, Princeton and Harvard Univer¬ sities will each receive $30,000 from the estate of the late Mrs. Ludwig Stross of| New York, it was announc-ed here by the executors of the estate. Mrs. Stross, who died on July 18th, left an estate val¬ ued at some $310,000. Her be¬ quests to the universities were largely for cancer research. DETROIT (JPS)—An innova tion in English-Jewish journal¬ ism has been announced hy the Jewish Welfare Federation of' Detroit, which has accepted the Jewish News, local English-Jew¬ ish weekly, as its offical publlca tlon for its 18,000 subscribing! Jewish families. The pledge form of the Allied Jewish Campaign of Detroit has been revised so that every con trlbutor to the drive automati¬ cally subscribes lo the publlca tion. PeUey Says Some of His Best Friends Are Jews INDIANAPOLIS UPS) .— Chanilng the old, old refrain of all anti-Semites, William Dudley Pelley, Silver Shirt leader de¬ clared al his sedition trial here that "1 have many Jews as friends" and that he is nol ami- Semitic, in spite of his long career as a Jew-bailing rabble- rou.ser and editor of a Jew-hat¬ ing newspaper, the Galilean. Denying that he has heen se¬ ditious, insisting that he is a patriot, rejecting the charge thai he is anti-Jewish. Pelley swerved sharply from his long acknowledge<l anti-Semitic stand when he said: "I have never held any animus against individual Jews. 1 have many Jews as friends. But i condemn those general practices of the Jewish race as they apply lo oui civili¬ zation and way of life." He ac¬ complished what most anti-Sem¬ ites do when he linked Judaism with Communism when he sta¬ ted that "Judaism and Commun¬ ism are synonymous. Rabbl Stephen Wise brags about it. I've found that the Conununlst movement is a plot of leaders of world Jewry to control the Gen¬ tile world." It was at this point that the Judge halted him With the admonition not to deliver a speech on the witness chair. (Continued on Page Eight) ;j ¦I
