6 DETROIT JEWISH CHRONICLE TWO NEW PALESTINE COLONIES WILL SPUR FOOD PRODUCTION and the Legal Chronicle MARRIED TO DETROITER Roosevelt Tells The Moses Story WASHINGTON (IPS)—The Demand for Agricultural Supplies for Middle Eastern Army Results in Launching Large Settlements in Southernmost Palestine NEW YORK.—Two new Jewish settlements were established in the Holy Land last week as part of the program of the Jewish Agency for Palestine to spur food production for the local popula- tion and for the British and allied armies garrisoned in Palestine, ac- cording to a, cable from Jeru- salem. Housing refugees from Germany, Poland, and Yugo- slavia, the colonies, located in southermost Palestine. were fi- nanced by the United Palestine Appeal, American Jewry's cen- tral agency for the rebuilding of the Jewish homeland. On Wednesday 137 young refu- gees occupied 1,500 acres of the new colony Manof, on the site of ancient Gath, where Goliath the Philistine was born and to which David fled from Saul. On the same day, 132 other refugees set- tled on 2,500 acres in the new colony of Habone near Ruhama. Both new settlements are in the direction of the Egyptian frontier. In making public the cable- gram from Dr, Arthur Hantke, director of the Palestine Founda- tion Fund in Jerusalem, Dr. Abba Hillel Silver, national chairman of the United Palestine Appeal January 2. 1 9 42 famous story of Moses and the Red Sea was at last taken up by President Roosevelt when, asked during a press confer- ence what he thought of the German bombings of Red Sea shipping, he said that one of the few prominent Jews still left in Germany was approach- ed by Hitler, who declared that if he could reveal how Moses was able to make the waters of the Red Sea part so that the children of Israel could cross in safety, the German Jew would be allowed to re- main in the country. Recently S. A. Lozovsky, the Russian spokesman, used the same story to the effect that Hitler was looking for the secret of the Red Sea crossing but that the stick which Moses, had used to part the waters was in the British Museum— and unreachable. and the United ewish Appeal, said: "In the establishment of these two new settlements on Dec. 23, an additional contribution is be- ing made by Palestine Jews to the strengthening of the coun- try's capacity to serve the war effort. The Jewish Agency for Palestine, supported with the funds of the United Palestine Ap- peal, has achieved remarkable successes in increasing food pro- duction by 40 per cent since the beginning of the war. This saves valuable shipping space for tanks and airplanes. The Jews in Pales- tinc are rendering a significant service by producing food sup- plies, manufacturing and repair- itig the machines of war and by enlistment in the Jewish units in the British forces."

Spanish Library Spreads Anti- Semitism in Schools NEW YORK (JPS) — Spanish Mrs. Morton L. Snyder Re- Elected President of Neu- garten Sunshine Club propaganda, much of it anti- Semitic, has been sent to stu- dents of the Spanish language in New York's high schools by the Spanish Library of Information, the official mouthpiece of Gen- eral Franco's government, it is charged by PM, New York tab- loid. The viciously anti-Jewish Span- ish newspapers which were sent to Spanish students here were noticed by an alert teacher who took away the "literature" from his class. One of the magazines sent out by the Spanish Library of Infor- mation, Espana Nueva, carried a story, under this headline: "Jew- ish Applause? . . . Foxy, Foxy:" The story reads as follows: "That Jewish press, whose mis- sion is none other than Marxist and Bolshevik propaganda, per- sonifies the international clique which applauds or hisses at Mos- cow's command. The champions of Stalin, those who conferred Zionist honors on Roosevelt, those who take tea with Mrs. Roosevelt, those who applauded . . . the robbers of the Spanish treasury and the assassins of the Spanish people . . . must logically attack and defame Franco and the . . . ideals . . . which he represents."

GENEVA (JPS) — Because she posed as an "Aryan" and did not disclose her Jewish orig- in, Chaja Sarah Mlava has been sentenced . to death by a Nazi court in Koenigsberg.

The tremendous pressure being put on French Jewry by the Nazis is highlighted in the order by the Nazi Commandant in Paris, General Heinrich con Stuelpnagel, that the newly created Union of French Jews, which has not yet been completely organized, ar- range that the Jews pay the Ger- mans a milliard-franc fine in full. Although the method of obtain- ing the fine is not clear, it seems that one of the schemes is to confiscate Jewish property an sell it to non-Jews. The money realized from this transaction is to go into a bank in the name of the owner, after a 10 per cent tax from the sale of the property is put aside for needy Jews. 95 Jewish Hostages Slain, Five Others Reprieved Held as hostages on charges of having attacked Germans in oc- cupied France, 95 Jews were exe- cuted, it was reported to La Suisse, Berne newspaper, by its Paris correspondent. Five others, non-Jews, seized at the same time were released "for lack of evi- dence," the report stated. Ghettos for Rumanian Jews Lead Off New Restrictions The new calendar year opened on a blacker note for the Jews of Central Europe and the Balkans as the Rumanian Government an- nounced that it is preparing to establish new ghettos for Jews within Rumania itself. The first of these will be erected in Con- stanza and in Giurgiu by Feb. 1. In other directions Rumania, Bulgaria and Hungary empha- sized that they intend to follow and improve on the Nazi anti- Semitic lead. Thus, as of Jan- uary 1st, Rumanian Jews were forbidden to purchase cigarettes, cigars and other tobacco products. Even though virtually all films shown in Rumania and Bulgaria originate in the United States and Great Britain, it has now been decided to discontinue the showing of films in which Jewish actors appear or which have been pro- duced by Jews. The exclusion order will be gradual in order not to shut down the movie houses at once.
