DETROIT JEWISH CHRONICLE and the Legal

New Year Greetings Posted by
N. W. Congregational Church
ANTI-SEMITISM
Among the unique Rosh Hashonah messages to the Jews of
Detroit was one from the North Woodward Congregational Church
on Woodward and Blaine. Dr. Charles H. Myers is the pastor
of the church.
Posted prominently on the church's outdoor bulleting board
was the following message:
refused to right of citizenship in
expressing themselves.
The problem of what to do
about Lindberg was shaking the
very foundations of the America
First Committee. A minority
meeting of the Committee in Chi.
cago late last week decided that
Lindbergh's speech was not anti-
Semitic, that the Committee is
not anti-Semitic, and that Jew.;
are invited to work with the
Committee to prevent American
entry into the war. The vote was
10 to 1, with the only dissenting
voice that of John T. Flynn, of
New York. It was enerally as-
sumed that this minority session
will provoke a heated debate in
the ranks of the Committee as
at whole.
If public fury rises further,
some statement will doubtless
be drafted to assuage the pub-
lic. But if the fires die down
soon, it can be taken for granted
that the majority will find a
convenient straddle like the one
already taken at Chicago.
This does not mean that all
individual members of the Com-
mittee fully subscribe to anti-
bemitism. Une has already re-
signed elf protest. She is Dorothy
Dunbar Bromley, New York wri-
ter. Another, Herbert K. Hyde,
Oklahoma State chairman of the
group, has threatened to "get
out" if Lindbergh's speech ac-
curately reflects America First
sentiment. He called the talk
"un-American."
Then there was General Hugh
Johnson, who minced no words
in making himself understood.
"I am on record repeatedly, in
my column, before a Congres-
sional Committee and elsewhere,
as opposing many of Lindbergh's
views and specifically as oppos-
sing any attempt to link Ameri-
can Jewry with warmongering."
"LeShono Tovoh! Friendly greetings to our Jewish neighbors
for their New Year."

Vitamin Takes Gray Out of Hair
BOSTON (JPS) — As a result
of tests conducted by Dr. Ben-
jamin Sieve at the City Hospital
here, the vitamin known as para-
amino-benzoic acid was found to
remove the gray color from hu-
man hair. The degraying action
was usually completed over a
period of two months.

Pitcher, Feldman
NEW YORK (JPS)—The New
York Giants, still remembering
the late John McGraw's dictum
that a good Jewish player would
fill the Polo Grounds every time,
are boastfully describing tne pro-
wess of Harry Feldman, 21-year-
old pitcher from the Bronx, be-
cause he fanned six Pirates last
week 'during the New Yorkers'
foray into the Middle West.
Taken from the Jersey City
farm, Feldman made his big-
league debut at Pittsburgh witn
tesuits so striking that he is be-
ing tagged for special attention
in a triant tryout in 1937 and
next season. he was first noticed
was given to such teams as
Greenwood, Fort Smith and Jer-
sey usy for training in the mi-
nors. it was because he won 12
games for the Jersey City ball
club early this season that Man-
ager 't erry took title to him.
Althuugn Feldman is now re-
ceiving tne bulk of the Giants'
attention, he has three Jewish
team-mates—Sid Gordon, a fellow
rookie from Jersey City, Hank
Dunning, veteran catcher, and
Arnovien, rabbi's son from Wis-
consin who is a Giant outfielder.

William Allen White Attacks
Lindbergh Speech
EMPORIA, Kansas. (JPS)-
"Shame on you, Charles Lind-
bergh, for injecting the Naii race
issue into American politics,"
William Allen White, famous lib-
eral editor, wired to the former
idol who has proved to have feet
of clay.
Lindbergh's anti-Semitic speech,
said White, was "moral treason.
Why was it necessary to defend
an honest, patriotic cause by the
indefensible injection of Hitler's
anti-Semitism into the issue?" he
asked.

What Does Wheeler Say?
Senator Wheeler, who has said
"Who, me?" to the charge of
anti-Semitism, refused to place
himself on record this time. But
he went to the trouble of de-
fending Lindberg'h right to be
heard, and was the target of a

Outstanding New Cast, Under Direction of Mischa

major factor in pushing us in

editorial.
"It is notorious that the South
is the most war-crazy part of
the United States today . . .
Yet the influence of the Jews
down South is almost negligible.
. . . Here's another fact. In the
first World War, the Beast of
Berlin, then labeled Kaiser Wil-
helm, was friendly toward the
Jews . . . and German Jews in
the United States were as gen-
erally pro-German, before we
went into the war, as were Ger-
man 'Aryans' in the United
States . . . Yet we went into it."
"The Jews neither forced us
into that war nor kept us out of

Graham, president of the Uni-

said : "The two most un-Ainerican

The Non-Sectarian Anti-Nazi
League telegraphed members of
the Senate and House Military
Affairs Committees, asking that
the "Nazi propaganda line" par-
roted by Lindbergh be investi-
gated by Congress as "aid and
comfort to the Nazi war strat-
egy of terror aimed at the Uni-
ted States."
Attorney-General Francis Bid-
dle drew a fine line in describing
Lindbergh's remarks. He called
the utterance "un-American" but
"not seditious."
