1,000 Jews Under Arms for Defense CONVICT 6 NAZIS
IN NEW YORK FOR
Of Yishuv; To Suppress "Lunatics" CIVIL LAW ABUSE
Who Are Harming Jewish Position

Clergy Urge Probe of
Rev. Gerald Winrod,
the "Kansas Hitler"

TOPEKA, Kansas. (WNS)—
Alarmed at the increasing po-
litical strength of the Rev.
Gerald Winrod, fundamental-
ist minister and anti-Semite,
who is seeking the Republican
senatorial nomination in Kan-
sas, a statewide committee of
religious and educational lead-
ers here have appealed to the
Dies Congressional Committee
on Un-American Activities to
investigate Winrod's record.
"We appeal to the Dies com-
mittee to investigate Winrod,
his record, the sources of his
lavish expenditures and his
Fascist connections," the com-
mittee said. "The swastika
must not fly over Kansas."
Rev. J. C. Cleveland of the
First Congregational Church
in Kansas City, Kan., chair-
man of the committee, said
Winrod had forced the Nazi
issue upon Kansas and had
attacked many Protestant de-
nominations, the Catholics,
Free Masons, Jews and the
Y. AL C. A. The committee
quoted excerpts from Winrod's
magazine, "The Defender Mag-
azine" and asserted that "in
fact the pages of his periodi-
cals frequently read like pages
from Hitler's 'Mein Kampf.'"

JERUSALEM (WNS—Palcor Agency)—There are
7,000 Jews under arms, engaged in day and night duty
to defend Palestine Jewry, Moshe Shertok, head of the
political department of the Jewish Agency Executive,
told a nationwide conference called to discuss the secur-
ity situation. At the same time he called upon the Yishuv

to "reframe its attitude against the lunacy of the past few days"
which, he held, has imperilled the Jewish situation.
Previously, Isaac Ben Zvi, president of the Vaad Leumi, had
emphasized that "irresponsible elements are stabbing the Yishub
in the back. The necessity of curbing Jews who, allegedly, have
been responsible for some of the recent acts of violence was one
of the principal themes of the e'

Maximum Fine of $10,000

Imposed Upon Offending
Nazi Organization

EIVERHEAD, N. Y. — The
maximum fine of $10,000 was im-
posed upon the German-American
Settlement League, Inc., for vio-
lation of the New York state civil
rights law.
It took the Suffolk County jury
less than two minutes on Tuesday
to find the six officials of the
league guilty of abusing the law
and to convict them of the crime.
Judge L. Barron Hill, in met-
ing out near maximum sentences,
said that he would ask the Dis-
trict Attorney's office to forward
minutes of the trial to Washing-
ton.
He characterized certain actions
of the defendants at the trial as
"amazing," referring to one of
the defendants who gave the Nazi
salute to the American flag in
the court room and when asked
if that was the American salute,
replied:
"No, but it will be!"
The specific charge accused
leaders of the league—an affiliate
of the German-American Bund,
which claims 400,000 members—
of conducting a secret oath-taking
society without filing a list of
members with the secretary of
state.
Judge Hill imposed the maxi-
mum fine of $10,000 against the
league and sentenced Ernest Muel-
ler, league president, to serve oee
year in the county jail and fined
him $1,000.
The other five defendants were
each fined $500 and given sus-
pended jail terms of one year,
pending good behavior. The five
are Henry Hauck, manager of
the camp; Herman Schwarzmann,
Bruno Ilaehnel, Henry Wolfgang
and Adds Bielefeld.
Fritz Kuhn, national leader of
the Bend, who was in court when
the jury returned, said the verdict
would be appealed. Under this
verdict Kuhn and officials of the
Bund are also liable to prosecu-
tion since the Bund has not filed a
membership as required by the
law. Roy P. Mondhan, state corn-
niander of the Disabled American
Veterans of the World War, was
the complainant against the six
Nazis.

Benjamin Nathan Cardozo:
Noted as Jurist and Jew

By BERNARD POSTAL

(Copyright, 'III, Seven Arts Feature Syndicate)

Men seldom spoke or wrote
about Benjamin Nathan Cardozo
without resorting to superlatives.
When he was an undergraduate
at Columbia University, a profes-
sor said of him: "there goes the
man who writes the most powerful
English of any Columbia student
since Alexander Hamilton." Ila
boiled lawyers who pleaded cases
before him compared him to a
saint, a medieval scholar and
Abraham Lincoln. Chief Justice
Charles E. Hughes called him the
best qualified man ever to head
the bench of New York State. Be-
fore his appointment to the Su-
preme Court he was widely ac-
claimed as "the most distinguished
American jurist not on the Su-
preme Court." On the occasion
of his departure for the Supreme
Court, his colleagues on the New
York State Court of Appeals eu-
logized him as "the one man who
could best carry on the great
Holmes tradition of philosophic
approach to modern American
jurisprudence." Card ozo ap-
pointment to the Supreme Court
vacancy created by the retirement
of Holmes in 1932 was met with
universal approbation unparalleled
in the memory of any living mem-
ber of the American bar. Charles
Evans itughes, Jr., when he was
Cardozo's secretary in Washing-
ton. was asked if the job was a
difficult one. "It is the grandest
in the world," he replied, "but
you might as well be secretary to
an enclyclopedia." After his ele-
vation to the highest court in the
land, so eminent an authority as

on Sept. 1, in time to assist in
planning for the High Holy Days
and for the next school year
which will commence after Rosh
Hashonah which will be observed
on Sept. 26 and 27.
Rabbi Adler had graduated
f r o ni the Jewish Theological
Seminary of America with the
highest honors, winning first
prizes in Bible, Hebrew and
Homiletics. He received his acad-
emic training at the College of
the City of New York. For three
years he served as rabbi of Con-
gregation Emanu-El, Buffalo, N.
Y. He is the present president
of the Buffalo Zionist District and
was one of its delegates to the
41st annual convention of the
Zionist Organization of America
held in Detroit July 1 to 5. In
the popular elections for the
American Jewish Congress Extra-
ordinary Session to be held in
New York in September, he was
elected one of the Buffalo dele-
gates. He is a member of the ad-
ministrative committee of three of
the Bureau of Jewish Education
in Buffalo and is a member of
the board of governors of the
Buffalo Jewish Federation.
His father, Rabbi Joseph Ad-
ler, is a rabbi in New York and
is the dean of Yeshivah Trefereth
Jerusalem.
Rabbi Adler was recommended
for the Shaarey Zedek post by
Dr. Hershman from a field of sev-
eral candidates who appeared be-
fore the congregation during the
winter months.

ikon Roscoe Pound of the liar-
yard Law School, said that Car-
dozo ranks with John Marshall,
Joseph Story and Oliver Wendell
Holmes among the 10 greatest
judges in American judicial his-
tory. Liberals and conservatives
both saw something to applaud in
his record and attainmente. Even
the most bitter critics of the "nine
ld men" and the power they
wielded over the political and eco-
nomic destiny of the nation spoke
softly of Cardoso.
Yet, of all those with whom
he served on the Supreme Court,
Cardozo was the least well known
to the American people. Most of
his colleagues had come to the
Court with well-established rein,
tations earned in the highest
strata, of public life and were no
strangers to the headlines. Car-
dozo's road to the Supreme Court,
however, had been marked by
nothing more startling than a repu-
tation as one of the nation's great-
est jurists and legal scholars, ac-
quired through two decades of
service on the New York Court
of Appeals. Until President
Iloover elevated him to the Su-
preme Court, Cardozo was known
only in the comparatively limited
academic circles of the law among
his fellow judges. His five years
on the Supreme Court, marked as
they were by even more brilliant
accomplishments, did not bring
him into the limelight that focused
on the other judges. Even the
historic controversy between the
Supreme Court and the Roosevelt

of the value of their property with them on condition that the conference worked out a program
for getting all Jews out of Germany and Austria within live years. At the same time the American

ZIONISM'S NEW LEADER

Dr. Solomon Goldman, New President of Zionist Organization of America, Is an Out-
standing Scholar, Brilliant Orator, Author of a Number of
Important Books

By PHILIP SLOMOVITZ

opyriaht. 1938. eaten Art, Feature Arndlcste)

At Detroit at the close of Inde-
pendence Day, a new era began
for the Zionist movement in
America with the election of the
first mid-westerner as president
of the Zionist Organization of
America.
Dr. Solomon Goldman holds the
distinction of being the first man
to be elected to that high office
by popular vote of the delegates
at the annual convention. and
that, significantly enough, is one
of the symbols of the approaching

era.

Essentially a democrat, loyally
devoted to the idea of popular
action in Jewish affairs, a believer
in the nationality-personality ideal
as the symbol of Jewish existence,
Dr. Goldman will undoubtedly be-
come the idol of the Zionist
manes. As a great scholar and
Hebraist—he has to his &edit
more than a dozen books of es-
says, literary criticisms and school
textbooks—he was first advanced
as a candidate for the presidency
by the cultural groups within
Zionism; but as the brilliant in-
terpreter of the democratic ideal
of Jewish nationalism and as an
orator who has swayed thousands,
he is certain to become the favor-
ite of the people—of Am Israel.

In his acceptance speech in

the early hours of the morning

on Tuesday, July 5, a few min-
ute. after the great demonstra-
tion hailing his ascendancy to
the presidency of American
Zionism, Rabbi Goldman told •
story that explains his prema•
turely gray hair and the genius
of his personality. H. told
th e audience of his background
—"I was born into Zionism,"
he said— and said that his
grandfather. Rabbi Joshua
Grossman of Kishineff, had slept
for 40 years using • stone for
a pillow as • mark of mourn-
ing over the deltruction of the
Temple. Hi. own ■ ppearance,
which is belied by his 44 years,
gives the impression a• if he,
too, Lad used • stone fee •

pillow becaus e he cannot rest

stroy his people and because
he had dedicated his life to the
Zionist movement.

commission be empowered to deal
with all refugees wherever they
come. The British and French are
insisting on restricting the com-
mission's field exclusively to Ger-
man and Austrian refugees and
are also anxious to subotdinate it
to the League of Nations. Under
the American plan the commis-
sion would have its own adminis-
trative and technical staff and di-
rector, with James G. McDonald,
former League High Ceinmissione--•
er for German Refugees, regarded
as the logical choice.
An

committee which is to meet

representatives of the 32 par-
ticipating governments •s the
parley adjourned its meeting
until Aug. 3, when it will meet
again as a permanent agency
in London, with the diplomatic

Kennedy, United States am-
bassador to Great Britain, will
represent the United States.

Meanwhile, spokesmen for 10
more countries and Sir Neil Mal-
colm, present League High Com-
missioner, were heard by the con-
ference at its tnird public session.
Mexico agreed to furnish "asylum
to foreigners who are afraid for
their lives" and promised them
opportunities for both agricultur-
