Any¬ way, the good doctor insists that Hitler will meet a dreadful end sometime around his fifty-fourth year — and as \dolf will be fifty- four this month, we can hope for the best . . , those of you who possess a copy of Nostrad¬ amus' forecasts for our day probably have read It yourselves —but, anyway, the French Jew¬ ish physician did, among other " things, say that "the conference with Franco will be of no avail". Maybe somebody ought to tip off the State Department? . . .

Bishop McConnell ^ Says Jews Should Be Admitted As Nation
NEW VORK (WNS) — The Jewish people should be grant¬ ed official standing as a member of the United Nations and should be given a seat at the peace con¬ ference that Is to follow an Al¬ lied victory, Bishop Francis J. McConnell of the Methodist Church declared in an article ap¬ pearing In the current issue of the Jewish Mirror, a new mon¬ thly magazine.
The Bishop cited the existence in Palestine of a "Jewish-Com- monwealth-ln-the-maklng", as a basis for the recognition o{ the Jews as a nation. He added that to force Jews to remain con¬ tent with representation by the government of which they are at present nationals, would in cer¬ tain cases place their fate "in the hands of persons and govern¬ ments guilty of committing the gravest injustices and crimes against the Jews in recent times."
Join The Zionist Organization Now!
The plight of millions of our co-religionists in Nazi-occupied countries of Europe, is a chal¬ lenge to every self respecting Jew in America. As free men and women, we cannot shirk our responsibility in finding a solution for this grave problem. A situation where three quarters of our population is In slavery and the remaining here in Amer¬ ica are free, cannot long endure,
. It is for this reason the Colum¬ bu.s Zionist l:)istrict is appealing to ihose who have not as yet joined the Zionist Organization of America lo -enroll now. By so doing, they will be helping Ihou.sands of Jews to settle.in Palestine which to date has been the only refuge for these perse¬ cuted and ravaged people.
Contact Ben Grossman or any officer of the Zionist group for fiu-tlier  information.

Halilil .lames G. Heller of Cin¬ cinnati, president of the Cenlnd Conference of American Rabbis, emphaslzetl Ihal "If ever there was a time, when the voice of religion was needed to speak with indomitable tongue of tho prophet, that time is now."
"This Council meets for the first lime since our beiovetl land was treacherously attacked". Rabbi Heller continued. "This Council ought lo speak as one of the mosl eiotiuent antl t:our- ageous of the voices of our faith aild peo|ile.
"It meets for the firsl time since the full weight antl metiii- ing of (his war have begun to lie" apparent. II meets also ul a time \vlien the futiu'e is neither as clear nor ;is certain as all men of good will would have it. "Ignoring, our own se7iarate concerns tuid differences, we iiiiist unite our first task which is to join wilh men of faith of all ci-eeds in striving to imdcr- siaml the present, and to creule the futmc. Rarely has ihe task been hedged tilioul with gi-e;iter or more numerous perplexities". Presidiug at the .s.vijiposium on "'rhe Healing of Humanity", Roger, W. Straus said that there is every evidence that there is renewed interest in religion among tho American peojile, antl "this is especially true in the armetl forces".
"This inleresl is' genera! a- moiig Catholics, I'rotestants antl .lews', declared .Vir. Straus, "It is the duty of all religious mind¬ ed people lo iielp in revitalizing the religion they profess. It is certain thai when Ihis war Is \\dn the peace theretdter must be one iiirliucd witli iind conlroll- ed hy the .ludaeo-Christian tra¬ dition. The emphasis must be upon Ihe worth ol tiie individual who has been cretited with a soul given by Gtid which makes GotI the father of ull human be¬ ings. They in lurn must learn to act towards each other as lirolhers. This is the ideal and without it as a governing factor we will fall to progress toward human happiness. We are given the opportunity to take a great stride forward. We cannot fall. We will not fall. We are pledg¬ ed to our sons In the armed for¬ ces lo succeed".
