Fram to Review
A Timely Warning
Shirer's Book at
Against Quislings
Home Relief Rally Several months ago, Double-

day-Doran published an import-
ant book, "Fifth Column in
America," by Harold Lavine, edi-
torial director of the Institute
for Propaganda Analysis. The
volume exposes Coughlinism,
Bundism, Communism, the Amer-
ican "fuehrers" and their asso-
ciates.
This volume is as valuable to-
day as it was when first pub-
lished. It reveals the destructive
elements in their true colors. Its
warnings should be heeded and
the book should prove a valu-
able asset in moulding American
Public opinion. A large circula-
tion should therefore be built
for Harold Lavine's "Fifth Col-
umn in America".

Moscow Reports Vilna

Rabbis
Call Stalin "Redeemer"

NEW YORK (JPS) — A Press
release by the Inter-Continent
News Service of Moscow de-
clares that when the city of Vilna
was under attack by the Nazis
the Rabbinical Council of that
city issued an appeal to the local
Jewish population and to Jews
elsewhere calling for resistance
to the Germans and terming
Stalin a "redeemer" of the Jew-
ish people.
The "call" of the rabbis re-
ferred to Hitler as the new Ha-
man and asked long life for those
fighting him, especially for the
Red Army.

Ghetto Building Halted By Labor
Shortage

GENEVA (JPS) — Due to the
shortage of labor on account of
the Russian campaign, the Slo-
vakian government has been ob-
liged to suspend further work
on the construction of the Bra-
tislava ghetto. Instead, Jews
themselves must now build tem-
porary barracks and huts and
repair old houses and factories
to accomodate the Jews.
The Slovak government has
also reduced the bread ration
allowed Jews from 140 grams
(approximately 4 ounces) to 70
grams a day.
