JEWISH AGENCY CONDEMNS ACTS
OF RETALIATION; REVISIONISTS
SENTENCED; CONDITION IMPROVED

(CONCLUDED FROM PAGE ONE)

The one seriously injured suc-
cumbed late this afternoon in the
Hadassah hospital as a result of
a brain concussion. He was Ova-
dish Mizrachi, 32 years old, a Kur-
dish Jew.
The heaviest toll of deaths cen-
tered around an Arab bus in the
Romema quarter. As the bus
passed through Mahneh Judah
quarter, shots were fired at two
Jewish girls, one of them 15 years
old, wounding both of them, Sub-
sequently a fusillade of shots was
directed at the bus. Three Arabs,
including two women, were killed
by the gunfire and four Arabs
wounded, one of them seriously.
Among those wounded was the
Arab driver. A Jewish youth was
arrested Sunday in connection
with the shootings when two Arabs
pointed him out. A little while
later a bomb was hurled into an
Arab cafe near Romema, the ex-
plosion injuring six Arabs slightly.
Jewish cars passing through
Romema were stoned by Arabs
and Arab cars were • stoned by
Jews, with several victims on both
sides. Samuel Katzabl, a Sephardic
Jewish youth whom Arabs mobbed
and atoned as he cycled through
Romema, had to have his eye re-
moved by an operation at the hos-
pital. These were the main high-
lights of two hours of the worst
series of incidents the city has ex-
perienced. As tension spread
throughout the city, Jewish and
Arab road laborers working in
mixed quarters left their work.
Shops near the Jaffa Gate wefts
closed by their owners in self-pro-
tection. The vicinity of Romema
and Lifts was Immediately taken
over by police and troops with
mounted machine guns. Police also
took over the escort of all busses.
A number of Jews and Arabs were
arrested during the day In connec-
tion with some of the incidents.
Two Jews were apprehended for

the slaying of the Arab in Rehavia
and an Arab in possession of a re-
volver was seized in connection
the death of Ovadiah Mizrachi.
Another Arab was seized after he
had thrown a bomb on King
George Avenue. No damage was
caused by the explosion.
An Arab was wounded and then
arrested during the night when he
was found on Jericho road with a
rifle by a police patrol. Several
Arabs were wounded in an Arab
cafe near Lifta when a bomb was
thrown from a passing car, which
escaped. A Jewish youth was seri-
ously wounded when he was
stabbed with a dagger and then
stoned. Jewish vehicles passing
Arab sections were heavily stoned,
including the bus taking students
to the Hebrew University. During
the night a bomb had been hurled
at the Nissan Back synagogue in
the Old City, No damage was done.
Unrestrained condemnation of
Jews participating in attacks on
Arabs was the keynote of editor-
ials appearing in the Hebrew
press. 'The blood of innocent Arab
and Jewish victims cries out to us
from the soil," says the Haaretz
in commenting on the violence.
The attack on peaceful Arabs is
not only directed against them but
against the Jewish position in the
country. Since the government has
taken drastic steps to uproot ter-
ror, yesterday's incidents may be
regarded as a provocation to vio-
lence, delighting Arab terrorists."
The Dever, Hebrew labor daily,
asserts that the incidents are
"liable to fan a new menace which
had been diminishing. It is the
duty of the Yishuv to fight ir-
responsibility whose sequel Is
death and chaos." "Whoever were
the perpetrators of these crimes,
the Yishuv regards them as dan-
gerous enemies of constructive un-
dertakings of the Jewish way of
life in Eretz Israel," the Palestine
Post, English daily, comments.

UNCLE SAM'S HOUSEBUILDER

ICONCLUDED from EDITORIAL PAGE)

those famous milk demonstrations
which were eventually to revolu-
tionize the health problem and save
countless lives. He still remem-
bers how he accompanied his
father on a visit to a town near
Heidelberg, where the coroner and
gravediggers were out of work be-
cause pasteurized milk was reduc-
ing infant deaths so miraculously.
Upon his return from Germany, he
entered Princeton as a student of
government under the tutelage of
Woodrow Wilson. There he earned
real money for the second time In
his life, ;15 as second prize in an
essay contest on the commission
form of city government.
As the son of a wealthy man
he could have dabbled in the pur-
suits usual to the scions of million-
aires. But following his own In-
clinations, he joined the now-
defunct New York Globe as a cub
reporter, Than came the oppor-
tunity to buy Puck, the humorous
weekly. And in pursuit of his am-
bition to shine in literature, he
grasped it, Is was as publisher of
Puck that Straus's sense of duty
to his people found first expres. -
sion, when he launched a series of
articles whose principal aim was
to show how much the Jews had
contributed to the upbuilding of
America. It was probably the first
series of its kind In an American
magazine, and was Straus' way of
scotching the venemous anti-Sem-
itic attitude of "Life." In 1916,
President Wilson sent his former
student a cordial note thanking him
for the series, saying, "exact and
impartial justice is not often given
by the historian, particularly by
the national historian." While
Straus owned it, "Puck" often in-
veighed bitterly against war. In
1913, it published an editorial en-
visaging its possibilities. Later,
Wilson expressed his appreciation
to its publisher for the way in
which it had supported his disin-
clination to war. But when the
Unit e d States declared war
against Germany, Straus enlisted.
By then "Puck" had been built up
from a circulation of 18,000 to
105,000. He never tried to explain
away the conflict between his
vociferous pacifist preachment in
"Puck" and his service as chief of
the wartime cable censorship, ex-
cept to say, "I was just as bad a
lunatic as anyone."

Quits Paper in Protest

The war over, he returned to
the Globe as assistant to the edi-
tor. But in 18 months he was out.
The Globe had bitterly assailed
Wilson and the League of Nations.
A strong partisan of Wilson,
Straus quit when he could not al-
ter the paper's views. The reac-
tion to Wilson's internationalism
gave the nation Harding and nor-
malcy, and also introduced young
Straus to the arena of public af-
fairs. Offered the Democratic
nomination for state senator in
t h e overwhelmingly Republican
"silk stocking" district of New
York City, Straus accepted and
shocked the politicians by crashing
through to election with a plural-
ity of some 4,000, despite the Re-
publican landslide in state and na-
tion: That was in 1929.
Six years in the State Senate
earned for him the reputation of
being hard-working, intelligent
and liberal. In that period of
laissez-faire and lush prosperity,
Straus harassed the stand-patters
with his progressive bills. Ile led
the fight to prohibit landlords
from discriminating against fami-
lies with children. He sponsored
the co-operative marketing law to
eliminate waste and speculation in
the marketing of agricultural
products. He championed the bill
to limit women's labor to the
eight-hour maximum. He fought to
'eat women on juries on terms of
equality with men. He initiated
legislation to curb fraudulent
dealings in the security market
He was the author of the first bill
embodying the plan of compulsory
compensation insurance for all
motor vehicles and fathered the
bills creating the state-wide park
development He was one of the

allies of Governor Smith in ham-
mering through a reactionary leg-
islature humanitarian legislation
and in furthering the power pro-
gram,
Familiar with Housing Problem
From 1926, when he left the
Senate, until 1933, when he was
nominated for presidency of the
New York Board of Alderman, his
chief public activity was the presi-
dency of the New York Park As-
sociation, a movement initiated by
his father. For years he was the
chief defender of New York's open
spaces against those who would
encroach upon them. Ile accepted
the nomination of the Recovery
Party four years ago with reluct-
ance. A Fusion victory against
Tammany was in the cards and
he was the candidate of a hastily
created third party. Opposed to
him were two other Jews, one the
lige Bernard S. Deutsch, who was
his personal friend. His defeat
was followed by an appointment
as New York State director of en-
forcement of the NRA. He accept-
ed cn condition that he be free to
resign when an efficient state-wide
compliance machinery had been
built, In September, 1934, he felt
he had achieved that and resigned
to devote himself to completion of
the privately-owned Hillside Hous-
ing Project, an undertaking which
provided model homes for 6,000
people, of which he is president.
His experience with this home-
building program won him an ap-
pointment to the New York City
Housing Authority last year. On
a trip to Europe in the summer
of 1936 he carried with him cre-
dentials identifying him as the of-
ficial agent of New York, author-
ized to study European methods of
acquiring land for municipal hous-
ing, methods of estimating land
values, financing these operations
and the manner in which the proj-
ects are administered when com-
pleted. Ile paid his own expenses.
On his return, his report revealed
that he had become thoroughly
familiar with all faces of low-cost
housing, knowledges of which will
stand him in good stead as ad-
ministrator of the United States
Housing Authority.
T h e same keenly developed
sense of duty that enlisted him in
community service also explains
why Straus, who could so easily
have escaped the burdens of Jew-
ish communal leadership by plead-
ing the pressure of personal con-
cerns—he has for years been the
owner of the largest hotel and res-
taurant equipment concern in the
country—not only identified him-
self completely with the Jewish
people but became one of their
ablest leaders. Prior to 1932, his
role In Jewish affairs was mostly
a matter of having his name on
letterheads. His father had been
dead only two years and his shy
nature made him hesitant lest he
be intruding on his father's do-
main. But in 1932, when he accept-
ed the chairmanship of the Amer-
ican Palestine Campaign in New
York, he assumed specific respon-
sibilities. That was the first time
he had taken the leadership of a
money-raising drive. Since then
he has been a vice-president of the
Zionist Organization, president of
the Night of Stars, the annual
benefit of the United Palestine
Appeal, and a nationzil chairman
of the American Palestine Cam-
paign.
Taking hold of Palestine fund-
raising at • moment least auspici-
ous for getting money, Straus re-
vealed that his interest in Zionism
and Palestine were not affiliations
sprung from his father's attach-
ment. That merely introduced him,
but his own conviction that Pales-
tine is the paramount cause in
Jewish life bound him.

Always aa Independent

As muds of • realist in Jewish
affairs as he is practical idealist
in social welfare, Straus firmly be-
lieves that there is no middle
ground for the Jew. One must will-
ingly align himself with his peo-
ple and take a substantial and
forceful interest in its people, or
he automatically outlaws himself.
Such is Straus's philosophy of be-

hemorrhage in Jewish life, through
which some of the best of our
young people were being lost be-
cause of indifference or hostility.
In 1933 Bnai Brith took the
initiative in forming the Joint
Council of the American Jewish
Congress, the American Jewish
Committee, and Bnai Brith, be-
cause the Nazi control of Ger-
many had caused such transcend-
ing Jewish problems that unity in
American Jewry was the crying
need of the day.
In 1935 Bnai Brith launched the
most extensive survey ever made
of conditions among Jewish col-
lege students, because it was ob-
vious that many professions and
trades were overcrowded and there
wee a need for intelligent voca-
tional guidance of Jewish youth.
The Bnai Brith Research Bureau
covered nearly 1400 colleges and
universities, discovered that Amer-
ica has 105,000 Jewish students,
learned how many were studying
medicine, law, engineering, etc.,
and determined what fields are
overcrowded and what fields still
offer opportunities.

Boat Brith Palestine Colony

In 1936 Bnai Brith established
a 1100,000 colony in Palestine,
through the Jewish National Fund,
because German and other Jewish
refugees were crowded into Pal-
estine with no place to rest their
heads, no place to start life anew,
no land on which to he productive.
Thus it can be clearly seen that
Bnai 'frith meets Jewish needs as
they arise. We huve seen how the
order has met those needs in the
oast. and how it is meeting them
at present: •The needs at present
are great; they may be even great-
er in the future. It is therefore
the duty of every Jew over the
age of 21 to join Bnai Brith and
support it.

has shown a willingness to tackle
the toughest problems in Jewish
life as he is now tackling the vital
problem of housing and slum clear-
ance.
In his career as a public serv-
ant and a leader of Jewry, Straus
has always been an independent
who refused to be guided by tra-
dition alone. In identifying himself
with the Jews, he has devoted
himself to their interests without
self-glorification and without seek-
ing self-advancement. His political
record reveals the same trait of
courage and progressive thought.
Political position was a trust and
not an honorary title. In dealing
with the Jewish community as in
his relations with the public he
never condescends but regards
himself merely a cog in a great
mechanism. Blessed with genuine
modesty bordering on reticence, he
has seen himself not as a lord
bountiful distributing largesse and
service out of the goodness of his
heart, but as the heir of a great
tradition of civic welfare and hu-
man betterment. Always opposed
to ballyhoo in politics and In Juda-
ism, he has been the champion of
forthright action in both spheres.
Today, Nathan Straus h a
emerged from the shadow of his
father's enveloping name. Under
the stimulus of time and achieve-
ment, he has grown to importance
in his own right as a Jew and as
a civic leader. He has courage and
