Senators Endorse Blocked Palestine Resolution
TmNGS TO WATCH . .
te The case of the resignation of Rabbi EnglaniJer of Kingston N. Y., ¦will rock Je-wlsh circles Tvhen the circumstances are made public . . . There's a-n un¬ savory story of Intimidation of the trustees of his congregation — of threats that their busi¬ nesses would be boycotted if they did not disavow their Rab¬ bi .¦. . The Rabbl'jB only crime -was his protest against the teachlng''of Christian prayers to Jewish pupils In the public schools . . . The' reason why an advertisement telling of'the An- muth beating case of Philadel¬ phia was rejected by the Phila¬ delphia Record Is that pressure was, applied by a group of Jew¬ ish leaders . . . These gentlemen do not believe in publicising antl-Jewlsh outrages . . . 'Vir¬ tually every Jewish community in the Unlted/fetates reports an . inccepse in/'anti-Semitic inci¬ dents . . . ndt the policy of our defense orainlzatlons is to keep this situation fr.om the public eye. . . We're told, incidentally^ that the American Society for y the'Control of Cancer has one- X^^ unbreakable rule: No Jew on Its ^vboard....
JBEHIND  THE  ZIONIST /FRONT ....
'teThe crisis in Zionist leader¬ ship is very acute . . '. Basically the issue Is thlfe^ Should .the Zionist.trust In Roodevelt's pre¬ election promise on Palestine? . . The Stephen S. Wise group says Yes . .. . The Abba -H. Sli¬ ver group says No . . . That's why Dr. Silver pressed for the rS-introductlon of the Palestine Resolution which was tabled by order of the State Bepartment . . . Don't be surprised If both Dr. Wise and Dr. Silver resign from the co-chairmanahlp of the Zionist Emergency Council.

' ^ No matter how Jiard he tries. Hitler can't keep out of the Newspapers . . '. One report has it that he's convinced the war ' is over and is busy mapping out plans for reconstructing the German cities destroyed by Al¬ lied bombs . . . This version adds that'he reads a special newspaper printed only for hhti and edited so as not to destroy any of his delusions . . . Then there's the story of how, after hearing of the latest AJliiid ad¬ vances, Adolf stared ^loodlly at his favorite work of art — a porltult of himself — and asked of nti'wjfefclwi'ticular'.

Largest Turnout At Hadassah Event
Record Vote Predicted for B'nai B*ritli Election
Abraham  Gertner
No contest for Guardian of Zlon Lodge, B'nai H'rilh, In over twenty yea'rs can comjiare with t>ie one being conducted this year 'byvthe three candidates, Abrahirtn Bertner, David Cheses and Ben Yenkln, la the opinion of local observers. From the standpoint of local, state and national political campaigns, the Columbus contest which of¬ fers no glittering rewards but the opportunity tor rendering greater service to America's largest Jewish fraternal organi¬ zation, has overlooked nothing whatever in vote geftlng stra¬ tegy. Each candidate has clr- ouiarlzed the entire community and even the some 150 B'nal B'rith men on the far-flung bat¬ tlefields of this great wpr. Per¬ sonal calls and the telephone have been used to get out the vote, and to climax this big ef-

The Ohio Jewish Chronicle's policy of not endorsing any one candidate    for    the    office  of

Guardian will again prevail. It so happens that all three .si'uking the much coveted oftite, are aipabie. energetic young men wlio are worlting tor the best Interests oT Zion Lodge.
