officials of the American Jewish
Congress and the American Fed-
eration of Labor have been in
communication with Willie in
Green, the Federation's president,
in an endeavor to work out a
joint program of action.
Dr. Stephen S. Wise, honorary
president of the American Jewish
Congress, and former Congress-
man Nathan D. Perlman, vice-
president, conferred with Presi-
dent Green in Washington and an-
nounced to him the readiness of
the Congress to act in co-operation
with the American Federation of
Labor.
Mr. Deutsch called upon Amer-•
can Jews and all organizations
prosecuting the boycott in this
country, to pool their plans, re-
sources and actions with the A. F.
of L., and commended Mr. Green's
instructions to the membership of
the A. F. of L. as a courageous
and exemplary upholding of hu-
man rights.
Untermyer Gratified,
Samuel Untermyer, president of
the Nonsectarian Anti-Nazi League
to Champion Human Rights, ex-
pressed gratification at the step
taken by William Green, presi-
dent of the American Feedration
at Labor, in Washington in ask-
ing that the boycott be more
strictly applied to German im-
ports.
Mr. Untermyer declared that the
boycott is becoming more effective
with recent resolutions of Ameri-
can buyers to refrain from pur-
chasing wares made in Germany.
Mr. Untermyer began an inves-
tigation of Nazi propaganda activi-
ties which are designed to incite
race hatred against the Jews.
Stickers, profusely distributed over
the city, urge the boycott of Gen-
tiles. Artistically designed, the
stickers bear large black print
reading: "Buy Jewish — Boycott
Gentiles," That there be no doubt
is to the authenticity of the
kickers, their makers have in-
ecribed the star of David in the
center of which is the law of
Moses, and other trappings sym-
bolic of Jewish traditions appear
in the stamp.
Dutch Social Democrats, Unions
Push Boycott.
1
The Dutch Social Democrptic
party and the Trade Union Center
In Holland have set up a central
boycott committee and local com-
inittees for boycotting goods made
in Hitler Germany, according to
the press reports of the Interna-
tional Federation of Trade Unions
(IFTU), The aim of the commit-
tee is to engage young people
principally in the propaganda ac-
tion required. The Dutch labor
movement is spending large sums
Of money to make the boycott as
effective and fruitful as possible.
Since the boycott Is based on
Individual, personal activity, the
labor movement lays stress on in-
fluencing the Dutch consumer, the

trations on the boycott are printed

lications affiliated with the move-

ments. No references are made

and reviews published in the Ger-
man press. The union press con-
tinually publishes lists of German
goods and the substitutes for
them. And also mass meetings
Ire arranged and boycott agita-
tion is carried on there.
Proposed Nazi Investigation.
Samuel Dickstein, chairman of
the House of Representatives Im-
migration and Naturalization Com-
mittee, who has been conducting
an investigation into Nazi affairs,
announced that he would make no
request for the chairmanship of
a special committee expected to
be appointed shortly after Con-
gress resumes in January.
In Jewish circles Dickstein's
attitude is interpreted as a con-
cession to the feeling that the
value of the Nazi investigation
would be impaired by having a
Jew at the head of it. In recent
months Dickstein has been the
target for criticism from many
sources in this respect.
Non-Sectarian Anti-Nazi Group.
A new organization has been
formed by the American League
for the Defense of Jewish Rights
which will have as its purpose to
launch a campaign against the
spread of Nazi propaganda in this
country as well as to conduct the
boycott, according to Samuel Un-
termyer, president of both or-
ganizations. The new group will
be known as the Non-Sectarian
.Anti-Nazi League to Champion
Human Rights.
Mr. Untermyer announced that
the reorganized body will continue
to concentrate upon the boycott,
which he characterized as "the
only effective weapon in defense
of basic human rights and for the
preservation of democratic insti-
tutions, religious freedom and the
inalienable rights of man against
medieval barbarism, which has
seized control of Germany, throt-
tled its free institutions and is
threatening the peace and free-,
dom of the world."
Mr. Untermyer is president of
the reorganized League. Other
officers are Rabbi A aba Billet Sil-
ver of Cleveland, first vice-presi-
dent; Victor J. Dowling, former
Presiding Justice of the Appelate
Division, First Department; Ar-
thur S. Tompkins, Associate Jus-
tice of the Appelate Division;
James W. Gerard, former Ambas-
sador to Germany; Dr. A. Coral-
nik, associate editor of The Day,
vice-presidents; J. David Stern,
publisher of the New York Eve-
ning Post, national areasurer;
Louis Myers, acting treasurer, and
Ezekiel Rabinowitz, secretary.

the Temple was given by John I).
Rockefeller, Jr.
Brainbridge Colby, former secre-
tary of state, referred to political
affairs in Germany as an "unbe-
lievable aberration.'
Nathan Straus, Jr., former state
senator and an outstanding leader
in Jewish affairs and philanthro-
pist, made a plea for "study of the
other man's view-point," adding
that an understanding of other cul-
tures and other beliefs leads to to-
lerance.
Byrnes MacDonald, son of the
Papal Marquis, declared that the
persecution of the Jews in Germany
"has been so hateful, so ugly, and
so contrary to the social and civil
precepts in so many lands that one
is justified in stating that the pres-
ent regime has tried to suppress
political freedom and deny to men
the right to think and express their
thoughts freely."
The American Good-Will Union
sponsored the program.
Nation's Honor Roll.
The annual roll of honor com-
piled by The Nation In its current
issue features along with a list of
eminentpublic figures who were
engaged in national recovery, the
recognition of Russia, the repeal
of prohibition, six others who are
enumerated for special recognition
under the title: "Hitlerism Com-
bated."
In an introductory, paragraph,
The Nation says: "The most dread-
ful page in the history of 1933 is
the cruel and Irrational fury which
the Nazis vented upon Jews and
radicals in Germany." Then follows
a list of well-known names cited for
their achievements, including Ed-
gar Ansell Mowrer, "for his forth.
right insistence upon the right of
the press to gather and send the
news of Fascist outrages;" Arthur
Garfield Hays, "for his attempt to
get justice for the defendants in the
Reichstag fire trial;" George S.
Messersmith, "for upholding the
rights of American citizens in Ger-
many;" Alvin S. Johnson, lir
bringing a group of ousted German
professors to this country and es-
tablishing them as the staff of the
University in Exile; Sherwood
Eddy, "who as a leader of a group
of American educators visiting
Germany seized the occasion of a
reception by the Carl Schurz So-
ciety to denounce Nazi policy and
state what bad effect it was having
on world affairs;" Calvin B. Hoov-
er, "for his revealing book 'Ger-
many Enters the Third Reich.'"
Jews who through outstanding
achievements were selected' for
honor by the magazine, including
Mr. Hays, are the following:
Samuel S. Llebowitz, "who un-
der the threat of bodily harm has
twice conducted the Scottsboro de-
fendants through their trial."
Morris L, Ernest, "who for years
has led the legal fight against cen-
sorship, who has just successfully
defended Joyce's Ulysses, and
who, more than any other one per-
son, is responsible for the changed
attitude of the courts.
Magistrate Benjamin Greenspan,
"who dismissed the case brought
by the Society for the Prevention of
Vice against Erskine Caldwell's
'God's Little Acre,' and who ruled
that the opinion of recognized lit-
erary critics was more relevant
than that of the professional smut
specialist."
Sam H. Harris, for efforts to con-
trol under NRA ticket speculation
in the theater.
Edward J. Bromberg, "for his
interpretation of the role of the old
doctor in 'Men in White.'"

P II I L A DELPHIA.—(JTA)—
The ultranationalistic policy of the
Hitler government, with its race
hatreds and persecutions, was sai-
led "distinctly anti-Christian" by
Dr. Rudolph M. Binder, professor
emeritus of sociology, New York
University, at a meeting of the re-
ligious section of the American So-
ciological Society.
"St. Paul was the first advocate
of race equality and of the prin-
ciple as • fundamental of the Chris-
tian religion," Dr. Binder declared.
"Race prejudice is removed by
Christian love.
"Anti-Semitism and national ha-
tred,' in Europe are distinctly anti-
Christian. Hitler and his cohort,
confess this when they claim that
the Germans should return to the
worship of the ancient Teuton gods,
and when in their frenzy for Ars
yaniem they try to deny Jews ad-
mittanceto the Christian church,
"Persecutions by the churches of
non-Christians have always been a
violation of the spirit of Jesus and
of St. Paul, both of whom make
love and kindness the test of true
religion," Dr. Binder concluded.

Protest Against Use
Or German-Made Goods
At New Year's Affairs
Back from Honeymoon.
Numerous complaints have
been made through The Detroit
Jewish Chronicle against a
number of Jewish organizations
in this city at whose New Year
Eve functions German-made
souvenirs and noise-makers
were used.
Upon investigation it woe
found that in every instance
the use of these materials was
unintentional, in some instauces
having been used by hotels as
left-overs from last year's New
Year parties.
All against whom the com-
plaints were directed were
apologetic and expressed assur-
ances that these mistakes will
not be repeated.
SLATKIN BROTHERS
MANAGERS OF NEW
DEXTER CHEVROLET
MRS. SAMUEL SANDLER
The Dexter Chevrolet Company,
formerly doing business under the
name of Faber Chevrolet, Inc.,
11634 Dexter boulevard at Bur-
lingame avenue, is the develop-
ment in another field by Slatkin
Brothers, Joseph B. Slatkin and
Adolph Slatkin, who, in concen-
trating their activities in the auto-
mobile business, have met with
unusual success in merchandising
and servicing the Chevrolet car.
Associated with the Slatkin
brothers are men capable and ex-
perienced in the automobile line.
Claire DeVine, sales manager, has
long been connected with Chev-
rolet, and in no small measure has
contributed to the good-will of
the many patrons that have been
well satisfied with the purchase
of their cars from the Dexter
Chevrolet Co.
Their modern up-to-date service
station, equipped to handle every
phase of mechanical repairs,
bumping and painting, together
with the newest development in
scientific car washing, combine to
make it a most satisfying arrange-
ment for their customers. George
Woodward, with 20 years of Chev-
rolet experience, is in charge of
service.
