POLISH BIGOTRY HIT
BY BISHOP OF DURHAM
Women's Division of Jewish
Congress Holds Inter.
Denominational Rally
GENEVA — The World Jewish
Congress early this week made
representations to the League of
Nations against a law being pro-
posed In Rumania which would
make racial quotas the basis of
employment.
Dr. Nahum Goldmann, chair-
mann of the administrative com-
mittee of the world Jewish Con-
gress, represented the congress in
presenting to the League of Na-
tions the opposition of the organ-
ization and the disclosure that
the bill as proposed is in viola-
tion •of the Peace Treaty signed
by Rumania and the principal al-
lied powers, including the United
States.
Contravention to Treaty
The law as proposed would
make it mandatory for industrial,
professional or commercial enter-
prises to employ a minimum of
75 per cent of Rumanians of "eth-
nic' origin. The remaining 25
per cent may be 20 per cent Ru-
manian citizens, irrespective of
their origin, with the remaining
6 per cent those who are not Ru•
manian citizens.
In representations made to the
League of Nations it is pointed
out that the law, if passed, would
be in direct contravention to Ru-
mania's undertaking in the peace
treaties—that there should be no
discrimination against Rumanian
citizens on account of race, reli-
gion, creed or language.
Inspired by Anti-Semites
Informed circles point out that
this measure has been definitely
inspired by the anti-Semitic for-
ces now on the upsurge in Ru-
mania, and may be regarded as a
concession to the anti-Semitic
views of the Iron Guard. It is
further pointed out that unem-
ployment in Rumania is not very
large, with the total number of
unemployed approximating 30,-
000, and the bill for the Protec•
tion of Rumanian labor cannot,
therefore, be regarded as a meas-
ure to reduce unemployment. I
Since Jews, for historical reasons,
live for the most part in large
cities, they are principally en-
gaged in commerce, industry and
the professions and would bear
the brunt of the attack should the
bill become law. There is a dan-
ger that despite the fact that the
Rumanian parliament has adjourn-
ed and new elections are set for
the Fall, the government may ex-
ercise the emergency powers con-
ferred on it to enact the bill into
law by decree.
It is further pointed out that of
the total population of Rumania,
approximately 60 per cent are Ru-
manians of "ethnic" origin; about
20 per cent are Rumanian citi-
zens of German and Hungarian
origin; 4 to 6 per cent are Jews
and the remainder comprise var-
ious nationalities.

•
In Our Ranks
The crucial test of the liberality and the giving
power of the Jewish community of Detroit is being
applied this week as a preliminary to the Allied
Jewish Campaign proper.
In view of the large demands upon the commu-
nity necessitated by the extremely difficult situation
in world Jewry today, it has become necessary for
the executive committee of the General Division of
the Allied Jewish Campaign to start solicitations in
advance among the larger contributors in order to
assure an encouraging beginning for the drive when
it officially opens on May 2.
A great deal is at stake at the present time. It is
absolutely essential that the efforts of the executive
committee should meet with success. The commu-
nity at large is watching every move we make at this
time and the success of the efforts of the executive
committee will make for success in the efforts of
the entire drive.
Our executive committee must pave the way for
a successful campaign. We are the advance guard
that is striving for triumph for humanitarian efforts
by Detroit Jewry.
The burden of responsibility at this time rests
upon this advance guard, and we therefore appeal
to prospective contributors to strengthen the hands
of this committee and to give us the encouragement
that is essential in this crucial hour.
We call upon the Jewish community of Detroit
to set the high standard for philanthropic service
that is demanded by the present hour. The result
of our efforts will be analyzed as a test of this com-
munity's liberality. We furthermore appeal to De-
troit Jews to welcome our solicitors with kindness
and to encourage them in their work. Our volun-
teer workers are not only giving of their time, but
also of their. own monitary contributions. By re-
ceiving your encouragement, they will be in a posi-
tion to approach other contributors with greater
faith in their mission.
We ask Detroit Jews to respond liberally and
promptly and to assure the 47 agencies included in
the campaign that they will receive the pledged
amounts that they need for their sustenance.
In the hands of the Jewish community of De-
troit lies the destiny of thousands and in the name
of these distressed we call upon our people to give
us the encouragement we need in this campaign.

Play Ball!
A Jewish Who's Who of Big League Baseball
By IRV KUPCINET
Serer. Arts Sports Editor
(Bertram Jona., Pinch-Hitting)
This Is the time of year when a Jewish sports writer has to
call the roll of Jewish ball players in the big leagues. Not so
long ago there was no roll to call, but things are different today.
It wasn't so many years ago that the Jew in baseball was • freak.
Press and public made a great to-do over every Jewish rookie. And
if he had a name like Cohen or Levy he was a seven-day wonder.
But today Jewish boys have done so well in the big leagues that
they are taken for granted. A Hank Greenberg will stir up a lot
of enthusiasm for a year but then he becomes just another base-
ball star. That's why we want to call the roll for you, to remind
you who's who among Jews on the big league diamonds. Green-
berg, of course, is still the shining example of a crack Jewish ball
player, but there are others, too. So here's the list:

JERUSALEM (WNS — Palcor

Arabs against Arabs as well as
against Jews left in its wake over
a 24-hour period a toll of three
dead and at least five wounded.
The quiet precinct near the
Mosque of Omar in the Old City
of Jerusalem was thrown into a
turmoil when a Bedouin opened a
volley of gunfire at Arabs leav-
ing the Mosque. Four were ser-

The Bedouin, who is believed to
have acted from political motives,
was captured by bystanders im-
mediately after the shooting, but
members of the Mufti's family
intervened and aided his escape.

Einstein vs. Landsteiner
A Character Study of Two Jewish Nobel Prize Winners
(From the complaint filed by
Dr. Karl Landsteiner, Jewish•
born Nobel Prize winner in
medicine, for an injunction to
restrain the publisher of "Who'.
Who in American Jewry" from
Including hi s biography in the
New editioa):
"It will be detrimental to
me to emphasize publicly the
religion of my ancestors; first,
as a matter of convenience;
and, secondly, I want nothing
that may in the slightest de-
gree cause any mental anguish,
pain or suffering to any mem-
bers of my family, because any
suffering on their part would
be my suffering.
"My son is now 19 years of
age and he has no suspicion
that any of his ancestors were
Jewish. I know as a positive
fact that if my son were to see
the book that Is about to be
published it would be ■ shock
to him and might subject him
to humiliation.
"Since I baye• migrated to
this country I have adapted
myself to the customs and Ideas
of the American people. I want
to avoid any publicity which
might segregate me from my
American friends and Mace me
in • category which I do not
desire."
(From a letter by Dr. Albert
Einstein, Nobel Prise winner in
physics, to Joseph Brainin, edi•
for of the Seven Art. Feature
Syndicate.):
"Dr. Landsteiner's attitude
unquestionably is deplorable--
indeed, pitiable. It proves that
technical ability is by no means
always associated with charac-
ter and dignity.
"For us Jews, however, such
occurrences are, in a way, some-
what edifying. The external
pressure that has weighed on
our community for many cen-
turies has brought about, from
time to time, the self-exclusion
of weak-charactered individuals
from our group.
"As such spiritual traits us-
ually are hereditary, oar com-
