Separated by sub- ject, the books mentioned for adults deal with the Bible, Jew- ish History, Religion and Jewish Customs, Jewish Literature, the Jews of Today, Jewish Educa- tion, Jewish Fiction and Poetry, and Jewish Music.

In some communities Jew- ish Centers have taken the initi- ative in enlisting the cooperation of the local library authorities as well as Jewish and general cultural agencies in sponsoring community-wide observances of Jewish Book Week. Mothers' Day will be observed by Jewish Community Centers, Y. M. H. A.s and Y. 'W. H. A.s on Sunday, May 14. Jewish Publication Society An- nounces 1939 Publications In connection with the current annual celebration of annual Jewish Book Week, the Jewish Publicatio Society is making public its list of publications for 1939. The first book to be released, about May 20, will be the "Ship of Hope," by Ruben Rothgiesser, translated from the German by Felix N. Gerson. This is a story about 100 boys, children of a Spanish-Jewish community, who were driven from their native city during the 15th century persecutions, and who found pitiable refuge near a city on the coast of North Africa. They are lured aboard a pirate cara- vel by offers of food and are taken away to be sold as slaves in Egypt. The boys finally land in Venice, and the Venetian Doge sends three members of the Ve- netian Jewish Community, in- cluding Abravanel, to North Af- rica to invite the entire commu- nity to find homes and protection under Venice. This book will contain 160 pages, plus four full page black and white illustra- tions. "The Jew in the Literature ei• England," by Montagu F. Modder, of Beloit College, will be ready on June 1.

(WNS - Palcoi Agency)—Following close upoh a night of arsoning and pillaging and bombing, in which an Aral. woman was killed and two Jew- ish railway guards were wounded, the moderate Arab Opposition issued a manifesto denouncing the terrorism that has engulfed the Holy Land for the past three years. Released in Jaffa. the mani- festo summarizes the results of the three years of disturbances and points out the complete devastation that has overtaken the Arab economy because of terrorist activities. It emphasizes the ruin of both the town and the port of Jaffa, and denounces the murder by Arab brigands of their compatriots, including aged women and children. "Is this a struggle for free- dom?" the Opposition asks dra- matically, recounting the extor- tion of money from the Arab peasantry and townsfolk and the general demoralization of the Arab population, the majority of which the Opposition believes is law-abiding, helping the brigands only through fear. T ism Unchecked That Arab terrorism has not yet been checked either through British military intervention or the efforts of the Arab Opposi- tion was amply illustrated in two attacks in northern Palestine— one in historical Nazareth and the other near Degania, oldest of the kvutzoth. A large Arab gang raided Nazareth and raged through the town for three hours, pillaging, arsoning and cutting telephone wires. One Arab woman was killed by the gang, and the Dis- trict Offices and two Arab houses were burned. The military, en- gaging the brigands in battle, re- pulsed them and inflicted caa- ualties on them.
