Well, after Daniel had been an
enlisted man in the Navy for a
year he was admitted to Annap-
olis. Took an examination and
passed the highest of all, and
the commanding officer wrote Mr.
Weintraub: "Daniel shows the
makings of a man."
"Do you remember him grada.
acing from Annapolis?" Mr.
Weintraub asked. "That was in
1927."
The local newspapers had a big
piece about Daniel that time and
about Mr. Weintraub in particu-
lar. Mr. Weintraub had laid off
work in the cloak factory and
had gone with his wife to see
Daniel graduate . . . The Secre-
tary of the Navy was calling up
each graduate by name to pre-
sent him with his diploma.
"Daniel Weintraub."

son! By his character lie had

Mr. Weintraub couldn't hold
himself in any longer. He stood
up in the big hall, among the ad-
mirals, the captains and the com-
manders, and shouted "That's my
boy!" People looked up. startled
at the interruption, as if to ask
what does this mean? Only Mr.
Weintraub and his wife under-
stood everything that Ensign
Daniel Weintraub signified in this
hour.

Halevy Will Rehearse
at Central High School
In order to help its members
conserve their automobile tires,
the Halevy Singing Society has
moved its rehearsal headquarters
to Central High School, Tuxedo
and In Salle, where was held its
first meeting Of its 18th year of
activity last Tuesday evening.
Halevy Musical Director Dan
Froham was in charge of the
choral singing, while plans for
the ensuing year were discussed
by president Morris Shatzen,
vice-president Eugene Franzblau,
and musical committee chairman
Max Levy.
It was announced that this
year's program will include the
oratorio "Tzvei Brides' (Two
Brothers) with music by Jacob
Schaefer written to a poem by I.
L. Peretz. Permission to use this
work was obtained from the Jew-
ish Music Alliance of New York.
Vice-president Franzblau, who
is also chairman of the member-
ship committee, stressed the ur-
gency of obtaining additional
members, and replacements for
many who have had to forego
their Halevy activities becabse of
absence in service and war work.
Applicants for membership are
invited to attend the next re-
hearsal on Tuesday, Sept. 29, in
Room 317 of Central High at nine
o'clock when auditions will be
given. Following rehearsal, they
are asked to join all Halevy mem-
bers in an informal meeting and
get-together at the home of Mr.
and Mrs. Joe Russell, 11825 Ham-
ilton Ave. Refreshments will be
served..
LAVAL ARRESTS CATHOLIC LEADER AS
WARNING TO CHURCH FOR AIDING JEWS
Protests Compel Vichy to Desist from Policy
of Separting Deportee Children from Parents
BERNE (WNS) — The belief
that Vichy's pro-Nazi chief of
government, Pierre Laval, has
bitten off more than he can chew
in ordering the arrest of a French
Catholic leader as at %yarn ing to
the Catholic Church against fur-
ther interference with the Vichy
anti-Jewish program, was wide-
spread in diplomatic circles here.
The arrest of Father Chaillet,
a member of the staff of Pierre
Cardinal Gerlier, archbishop of
Lyon, who has repeatedly de-
nounced the round-up of thou-
sands of Jewish refugees in Un-
occupied France for deportation
as slave laborers to Nazi-occu-
pied Europe, was accompanied by
a thinly-veiled ultimatum to the
Catholic Church to confine itself
to religious matters.
The temper of the French peo-
ple, who have not yet recovered
from the shock of Laval's an-
nouncement of conscription o f
French men and women workers
for work in Nazi munitions fac-
tories, was reported to have
leached the boiling point when
the Vichy fuehrer replied to the
mass protests against the treat-
ment of Jewish refugees by in-
terning the popular Catholic
leader.
At a press conference in Vichy,
Laval issued the following state-
ment: "The Catholic cardinals
and bishops have intervened, but
every one is a master of his (Anl
trade. They handle religion --- I
handle government affairs.
"No man and nothing can sway
me from may determination to t id
France of foreign Jews and send
them back where they originated.
I'll take no lessons in humanitar-
ianism from any country.
"I am applying to Jews the
same treatment prescribed cen-
turies ago by the Catholic
Church. I cannot say I will never
change my mind, but at present
I have no intention of extending
the anti-Jewish laws of the Ger-
man occupied zone to free
France—including the obligation
‘ to id., NN , Taii the yellow ::tar of Da-
back where they came from," La-
val said.
At the same time Laval uo-
loosed an Organized propaganda
against the Jews for the avowed
purpose of showing that the
"Jews are responsible for the de-
feat of France." The Vichy radio
launched the anti-Jewish cam-
paign with this announcement:
"At a time when France is
weak and disorganized from war
wounds, when the whole future
of France and the world is un-
certain, it is surprising to see
Frenchmen excited about a few
Jews. We do not deny that from
a purely humanitarian standpoint
some Jews are to be pitied. From
our national standpoint, however,
the Jews are responsible for our
decadence and defeat."
• Meanwhile, the Vatican is con-
tinuing its protests against the
expulsion of Jewish refugees. The
Vatican City radio, condemning
the Vichy persecution of Jews,
pledged to "do everything in our
power to help these unhappy peo-
ple," and then added: "What
right has ohe section of humanity,
after 20 centuries of Christianity,
to tamer with the freedom of
the children of God?"

finally filmed the part of Maxim
Litvinoli will probably be played

ducer.
