Peiser Will Explain
Campaign Causes in
Radio Talk March 31

Kurt Peiser, executive direc-
tor of the Jewish Welfare Fed-
eration of Detroit and of the
Allied Jewish Campaign, will
outline the campaign purposes
and the various causes to which
the Federation makes financial
allottments, in an interview
over the Jewish Radio Forum,
on Station WJBK, from 8:30
to 9 p. m. next Wednesday,
March 31.
James I. Ellmann, one of the
associate chairmen of the
speakers' bureau of the Allied
Jewish Campaign, spoke on the
Jewish Radio Forum program
on Wednesday, March 24.

JERUSALEM. — (WNS-Palcor
Agency)—As violence mounted
within the Jerusalem city limits,
the government proclaimed a cur-
few over the municipal area, or-
dering all citizens to be indoors
between the hours of 7 p. m. and 6
a. m. The District Commissioner
later lifted the curfew on Jeru-
salem but tension continued never-
theless. A rumor was spread
among the worshippers attending
the Mosque of Omar that a Jew
had been arrested in possession of
a bomb in the vicinity of the
Mosque. Later an Arab near the
Mosque of Omar, carrying a bomb,
was seized by the police.
The curfew followed the prema-
ture explosion of a bomb among a
group of Arab laborers engaged
in building work near the Jewish
quarter. Three of those injured are
believed to be Arabs who were pre-
paring to throw the bomb. Pre-
viously the Jewish community had
been deeply stirred by a bomb ex-
plosion on the main Jaffa road, in
which 19 Jews and one British
soldier were injured, several of
them seriously. The explosion,
which occurred at the terminus of
the Egged Co-operative Bus Com-
pany, in the center of the city,
opposite the cafes, a movie house
and the shopping district, created
a panic in that section of the city.
One Arab dead and seven others
wounded was the toll of four bombs
thrown into two Arab cafes, one
near the Jaffa Gate and the other
near the Arab village of Lifts.

voted at a rally held under the
auspices of the Vaad Leumi. In
an effort to find those responsible
for the bombing of the Arab cafes,
the police conducted searches in

ise that they are concerned with

There is nothing on earth more pathetic than the suf-
fering of children. That is why wa have advanced more rapidly

field.
Nothing ever agitates -us more than the unhappiness of
youth. That is why the entire world was shocked sad moved
to sorrow by the horrible tragedy in Texas which robbed •

dren were killed with one blow, while the children in Germany
are slowly being strangled.
Compare this tragedy with the horror s that are being
visited upon the Jewish boys and girls in Germ•ny, and the
despair of our youths assumes proportions which have never
been equalled in all the history of mankind.

14-PAGE ARTICLE IN
PAGAN NAZI STUERMER

That Jesus Christ was not only
no Jew but an anti-Semite "the
greatest opponent of the Jews in
all history," the founder of a re-
ligion which "is fundamentally an
anti-Jewish movement and reli-
gion" and that Jesus sacrificed
His life to frustrate the Jews'
plans for a world revolution and
that Hitler has been providentially
sent to prevent another such Jew-
ish plot is the burden of a spe-
cial issue of Julius Streicher's
Stuermer. Widely advertised
throughout Germany, the issue
seeks to reinterpret Christian doc-
trine and history in terms of anti-
Semitism and is regarded as an
attempt by Germany's number
one anti-Semite to set himself up
as the leader of the pagan Nazi
section of the Protestant church.
The I4-page article in the Stuerm-
er declares that the masses of peo-
ple in Palestine in Jesus' time
were not Jews but victims of Jew-
' fah oppression. Jesus, it Is alleged,
was one of these non-Jewish vic-
tims and his mission was a rebel-
lion against Jewish domination of
Jerusalem.
"Jesus," the article declares,
" was born into this world full of
Jewish deviltry, hatred and lust
for blood. He created a religious
movement mild to non-Jews, but
ruthless against the Jews. That
Jesus Christ created a movement
against Jewish tyrants is parti-
cularly apparent in St. John's Gos-
pel. Christ saw He was lost. He
knew the Jews would murder him.
But He also saw terrible danger
for the non-Jewish world. lie saw
it was threatened with falling un-
der the Jews' mastery. He knew
that only the sacrifice of His life
would change the course. He sacri-
ficed himself fully with a spirit
that no Jew could possibly show,
He did not want to combat the

awakened
and led against the

Jews their criminal faith in a
Messiah and their plans for a

BERLIN (WNS) — An un-
equivocal denunciation of Nazi
theories of blood and race as trea-
son to the oath pledged by Chris-
tian baptism was contained in a
vigorous encyclical by Pope Pius
in which he warned the Nazi gov-
ernment that its war on Catholic
schools and religious rights was
a violation of the concordat be-
tween the Vatican and Germany.
Read In all German Catholic
churches, the Pope's encyclical was
believed to foreshadow a definite
break between the Catholic church
and the Nazi regime.
"God is our witness that we have
no more earnest desire than the re-
establishment of real peace be-
tween state and church in Ger-
many," the Pope said. "But if such
peace is not to come, we are pre-
pared to defend our liberties in the
name of the Almighty, whose arm
has not been shortened.
