Drs. Abram Corolnik and Dimi-

quaintaance the other day ... Dr.
Coralnik, as you should know, is
now one of the editors of The Day,
national Jewish daily, while Dr.
Marianoff is not only the son-in-
law of Mrs. Albert Einstein (now
quite ill at Montefierce Hospital,
New York—send her a card) but
also a leader of a Jewish agricul-
tural movement ... Back in 1917-
18 the two had quite a run-in in
Kiev, Russia, where Marianoff was
a Soviet commissar and Coralnik
the head of a Kerensky-ite school

in New York the two are the best

Ben Zoma said, "Who is wise?
He who learns from all men, as it

mighty and he that ruleth over

'When thou eatest the labor of

NEW YORK (WNS)—Only
Anglo-Saxon Christian students
will be eligible for the schol-
arships to be established at
Yale University from a bequest
of $1,000,000 left to the Uni-
versity by the late Charles
Howard Warren as a memorial
to his son, Lewis Baker War-
ren, it was disclosed with the
filing of the will for probate.
A former treasurer of the Mu-
tual Life Insurance Company,
Warren provided that the schol-
arship awards should serve as
a memorial not only to his son
"but to the Anglo-Saxon race,
to which the United States owes
its culture, and as a means of
maintaining the best ideals and
traditions of that culture, I di-
rect that such beneficiaries shall
be confined to those boys who
shall be judged to best exem-
plify such ideals, qualifications
and traditions, and who shall
be the sons of white Christian
parents and Anglo-Saxon, Scan-
dinavian or Teutonic descent,
both of whom were citizens of
the United States and were
born in America."

Through Warsaw
Office of HIAS

The following cases taken from
the records of the HICEM (IIIAS-
ICA Emigration Association) of -
fice in Warsaw, Poland, are typi-
sal of the services that have to
be rendered to Jewish migrants.
The stories were included in a
report of the Warsaw office ac-
tivities received by the Hebrew
Sheltering and Immigrant So-
ciety (IIIAS) 425 Lafayette St..
New York City.

The American

"Millionaires."

Mrs. G. B., a 60-year-old wo-
man who had lived in America a
long time, having saved several
thousand dollars, decided to pay
a visit to Poland. Coming there
she said that she had money and
her landsleute dubbed her the
American millionairess. She be-
gan to do business and it was not
long before her money was gone
and the American "millionairess"
became blood poor. There was
nothing else for her to do but to
return to America. Her erstwhile
friends would have nothing more
to do with her and eo the old
lady went to the Warsaw office
of HIAS-ICA (HICEM) and ap-
pealed for help. IIIAS, New York
was communicated with and the
result is that the "millionairess"
is back in New York a poorer
but certainly, a wiser woman.

"For Political Reasons"

A 14-year-old boy who had re-
stained behind in Warsaw was to
be sent to his parents and the
other members of the family in
Argentine. For some reason or
other the boy could not go at the
time when the entire family with
the exception of himself left for
their new home across the seas.
The parents who had now firm-
ly established themselves, were
very anxious to have the little
boy with them and they applied
to the Argentine office of HICEM
(HIAS-ICA) for help. The War-
saw office being communicated
with, took prompt action. In or-
der to leave Poland the boy had
t o apply for a passport and the
Warsaw office made the necessary
application in his behalf. To the
great surprise of the officials the
answer came that no passport
could be granted to the boy for
"political reasons," The head of
the Warsaw office could not for
a moment imagine what these
"political reasons" were. He
asked the Ministry for details
but was told that the "secret"
could not be divulged. However,

he was determined to find out
what had happened and, after

making very careful inquiry, it
was established that the political
reasons really had reference to
an older brother who was long
since a resident of Argentina.
The lad got his passport and has
gone to join his people.

He Was • Soldier But Had Never
Beon Born
He had served in the Polish
army but since he had never been
born how could he have been ■

soldier. This is the question the
Argentine consul in Warsaw asked
Michael Eidenbaum who had ap-
plied for a Vial to enable him to
go to Argentina, the Hebrew Shel-
tering and Immigrant Aid Society
reporta.
In accordance with the regula-
tions the Consul demanded a cer-
tificate of birth. Michael did not
have one as his parents had neg-
lected to register him at birth. In
lieu of this document Michael pre-
sented his discharge papers from
the army but the consul merely
shook his head and dryly remarked
Never mind about these papers,
I want evidence that you were
born."
In his quandary Michael went
to the Warsaw office of BIAS-
ICA (HICEM) and presented his
problem to the officials there. Af-
ter a number of conferences had
been held with the consul of the
Argentine Republic that gentle-
man finally agreed to accept MI-
timers discharge papers as evi-
dence , that he had really come

Ben Aronin resorts to trans-
porting his hero, David Perez,
from New York of our time to the
Spanish Cordoba of the 15th Cen-
tury, in order to develop his
theme in "The Moor's Gold."
In a simple way, the author
causes his hero to lose his mem-
ory while in the process of being
moved from one locale to another,
in order best to describe the 15th
Century occurrences in Spain and
the persecutions of the Jews. An
American college student, David
returns from classes one day to
find his grandfather, Rabbi Eliezer
Perez, in deep conversation with
a stranger who asks the rabbi's
forgiveness for w r ongdo ing
against the Jewish race; and he
asks David a favor. When the
stranger burns a little incense,
David awakes from a dream to
find himself in the Spain of the
Inquisition period, in the house
of his father, Fernando de la
Torre, an officer in the King's
Guard. He now knows himself
only as Juan de la Torre, the son
of a converso, or converted Jew,
who is able to retain his position
by being nominally a Christian,
although at heart faithful to the
Jewish people. A secret chapel
Is maintained by him. With the
son never baptised there is a
strong affection between father
and son as a result of loyalty to
the faith. Later Fernando is be-
trayed to the Inquisition by the
Moor who built the chapel for
him. He dies under torture while
Juan is killed in battle with his
father's captors. The Moor, re-
pentant, roams about seeking
peace and forgiveness.
The story has many dramatic
elements, and is interesting par-
ticularly in view of the renewed
interest in Spain which has re-
opened its doors to Jewish immi-
gration.

British Boy Scouts Drop Swastika
as Emblem

LONDON (WNS) — Following
the example of the British army,
which last summer removed the
swastika emblem from artillery
vehicles and replaced it by a four-
l eafed clover, the Boy Scouts As-
sociation Council has announced
that the swastika will no longer
be used on British Boy Scout
badges because it is the symbol of
Nazism. "Thanks" badges pre-
sented to people who are not
scouts but who have rendered serv-
ice to the movement, and the
medal of merit, awarded to scouts
for conspicuous service, have
borne the swastika emblem for 16
years. Persons holding these
badges and medals can now ex-
change them for badges with a
new design.
