Nazi Radio Amuses
Jews Who Sing
Old "V" Song
LONDON—A Jewish soldier of
the Palestine Auxiliary Pioneer
Corps relates the following re-
garding the evacuation from
Greece:
"A small group of us were mak-
ing our way under heavy bomb-
ing from Thrace to Athens, hop-
ing to find our unit on the way.
We reached our objectives, but
found that the unit had been
evacuated. Thereupon we com-
mandeered a small vessel and
made our way along the southern
coast of Greece. Enemy planes
sank our craft, but we managed
to land on a small island and
succeeded in rigging up a radio.
"The first thing we heard was
an enemy broadcast describing
the hour and conditions under
which our craft was sunk, but
the imaginative Nazis made a
mountain out of a mole-hill, or,
shall we say, a battleship out of
a motor-boat, and a company out
of several scores of soldiers.
"This broadcast amused us so
much that we threw caution to
the winds; we laughed and sang
the Hatikvah at the top of our
voices, which, incidenally,' at-
tracted a British destroyer. We
were taken aboard and then, at
the invitation of the ship's com-
pany, we sang the first two verses
of Hatikvah again. Our non-
Jewish friends asked us to in-
terpret it to them and were sur-
prised to learn that it is an old
Jewish V song."

Defense of Democratic Ideals

chell of Radio Station WJR that a new program, "While
America Sleeps," will go on the air for a short period
beginning at 9:30 p. m. next Friday, Aug. 22.
This program is a thrilling and impressive call for
defense of democratic ideals. It is being presented by
Station WJR as a public service.
Detroiters are urged to listen in on this program
and to comment upon it.
Mr. Mitchell made his announcement through Rabbi
Joshua S. Sperka, vice-president of the Detroit Chapter
of the American Jewish Congress, to whom he made the
statement that he and Station WJR were exceedingly
pleased to be able to render service to the cause of
democracy in this fashion.
ZIFF HONORED
BY AVIATORS
WASHINGTON (JPS) — The
International League of Aviators
has voted an honor diploma to
William B. Ziff, Chicago publisher
of aviation magazines, for his
contribution to popularization of
flying knowledge. Mr. Ziff was
at one time a leader of the Re-
visionist-Zionists in the United
States.
Attack Against World Zionist
Leadership Deplored
NEW YORK (JPS)—Declaring
that it has noted a tendency on
the part of the present leadership
of the Zionist movement in Amer-
ica to challenge the authority of
the authority of the World Zion-
ist Organization, the Jewish
Morning Journal stated editorially
that only after it had demonstrat-
ed its capacity to carry out a
constructive program could the
Z. 0. A. leadership make any
bid for control of the policies of
the world organization.
The Yiddish newspaper deplores
the criticism levelled at the older
leaders in American Zionism and
the outstanding personalities in
world Zionism, maintaining that
the opposition is based on personal
grounds rather than on any ideo-
logical differences. There is no
place for such partisan strife at
the present time, the editorial
warns, adding that no evidence
has yet come forward of any
constructive achievements of the
organizations which have been
taken over by the "new" leaders.
"That these leaders now wish
to minimize and discard certain
forces, and especially those which
have all this time drawn their in-
spiration from the world leader-
ship, which in essence repre-
sents a truly Jewish source, and
then take steps against the world
leaders alone in order to replace
them with some colorless form of
American Zionism, is certainly
not to be recommended," the Jew-
ish Morning Journal said.
Such action cannot be condoned
on the ground that Washington
has assumed greater importance
than London as the center for fu-
ture negotiations regarding the
status of Palestine, the editorial
asserts.

LONDON.—(JPS) — Increas-
ing evidence that the Germans
contemplate the early use of gas
on the eastern front, if their
offensive bogs down is given in
the latest outpourings of the
Nazi press, which charges that
"Jewish Bolshevik leaders" are
urging the Soviet Government to
use gas against German troops.
The Jews, according to the Nazi
invention, are eager to employ
chemicals because a Jewish sci-
entist in Soviet Russia, Jakub
Trachtenberg, has discovered a
new method for countering the
effects of gas.
