te With 1942 a page in iiistory, let's glance back at- the projphe- cies the late Erik; Jan Hanussen, , Hitler's Jewish soothsayer, left for that year.. Bight on the nose was his prediction that 1942 would see the complete collapse of iSygnce as a great power and her loss of all her colonies . . And not so far off- was another prognostlcatio'n stating that May 23, 1942, would witness "the fall of the man who wants to be ruler of the world by brute force" . . . True, neither Hitler nor Benito nor Hirohito fell on that day . . But Walter Darre, Nazi Xg- rlculture Minister, who had quite ambitious plans for himself, was .' deposed from office on that day, and hasn't been heard from since ... As for Hanussen's pre- dicllons for 1943—we'll give you a couple, and if it amuses you yoii can check up on them a year from now . . . One concerns th6 present war, and declares that the "biggest . sea battle of all times" win take place in the South Sea sometime thia year . . And the other says that the most terrific earthquake in many years will occur in Japan during 1943

CINCINNA'W (WNS) — The immediate creatl«n_ofa World council of ChristiwiitySMjrud- aism to "mobilize their s resources and speak. in one mighty voice for the application ofi the universal Ideas of right¬ eousness and brotherhood In the post-war world", was advocated in a statement adopted at the closing session of the American Institute of Judaism on a Just and Enduring Peace.
The four-day conference, at¬ tended by leading rabbis and laymen from all parts of the country, urged also world-'wlde recognition of {he right of Jews to a home-land In Palestine and the creation of conditions which would facilitate as large a post¬ war Jewish immigration to Pal¬ estine as possible. .
The Institute's declaration c(?i Jewish post-war reconstruction stated that "the assistance of the United Nations is Imperative in order to achieve this reconstruc¬ tion, since the task is on a scale beyond the capacity of the sur¬ viving    Jewish    communities".
The Institute pointed out that post-war reconstruction woiild have to meet these needs:
1—Homes must be made avail" We for the millions of homeless . Jewg. They must be granted the opportunity either to .reset¬ tle in their former homes, remain wherever they are, or find new homes where they may be free.
2—Together with all other men, Jews nrust be guaranteed political equality, full economic opportunity and a chance for complete spiritual self-realiza¬ tion. \
the Institute Wncluded: "Af¬ ter the war condRlons must be created to permit as large a Jew¬ ish immigration to Palestine as possiljle, in accordance with ob¬ ligations assumed under the Bal¬ four Declaration and the Pales¬ tine mandate. Now more than ever the nations Of the world must be given fullest recognition to the right of the Jews to a homeland In Palestine, and they must help facilitate in every way the work of rebuilding that land."
