Tldblta From Bvorywhere By Phinoas J. Biron
YOt; SHOCLD KNOW ...
te Recently we saw the results of a Gallup poll which will never be published .... It dealt with the qtiestlon of religious, nation¬ al and racial groups In this country . . . One of the ques¬ tions read: "In your opinion, what religious, nationality racial groups in this country are a threat (menace) to America " . . . The answers, which we can- hot give you, would make your hair stand on end ... They prove conclusively that In cer¬ tain parts of the country antl- Semltlsm has reached a new high ... We have been told that various governmental agencies which are sending men lo North Africa are rejecting Jews for such missions, to avoid "Irritat¬ ing" General C}iraud . . . How ever, we have personal know ledge of Jews being sent across— all of them, of course, men of the highest qualifications . . , Gen¬ eral A. F. Lorenzen, retired, ¦writes In lo let us know that he is the chairman of Appreciate America, Inc., a not-for- profit, non-sectarian, non-political, pure¬ ly patriotic organization which is the publis.her of the diaries for servicemen to which we refer¬ red a couple of columns ago . . . Now that our question Is ans¬ wered the diaries—called "My Days in the Service" — no long¬ er constitute a mystery. . WE'RE TELLING YOU . . . Bat Of the British commando raids in' the Middle Easlcnone have been more daring and he¬ roic than those carried out by volunteer Jewish groups from Palestine . . . Some day, when the full story of these raids will ' bo told, they will make the Yugo¬ slavian guerrilla warfare look like a pink l(>a . . . The Ben Hecht-Billy Rose pageant "We Will Never Die", sponsored by the Committee for a Jewish Army, was such an unciuallfled succe.ss that many Jewish lead¬ ers who heretofore have been aiitagimlslic loward the commit- Pee now have come lo realize that this group knows how to do thing.s, aittl are courting Its co operation . . . This year's Israel Orphan Asylum iieneflt show marks the 30th anniversary ot that institution, whose annual entertainment has become a tra¬ dition In New York . , . Did you know. Incidentally, that Mrs. Gustave Hartman, widow ot the Asylum's founder and now Its president, was the superintend¬ ent of the home al the age of twenty-two, only two years af- tc?"she started working there-as a bookkeeper? ...

"In view (if the fact that chil dren lately have been frequently abandoned the German author! ties, have announced that in the future ail such children will be considered Jewish children and will be placed in appropriate in¬ stitutions", reads, a statement recently issued In occupied Hol¬ land . . . Which just goes to show how incapable the Nazis are of ' understanding the psychology of the Netherlanders . . . For, of course, the .. children whom Dutch mothers abandon are the progeny ot occupation troops who, in accordance with their Fuehrer's principles, are eftdeav- orlng lo Nazify the Hollanders by providing a half-German younger generation . . , So that
