DETROIT JEWISH CHRONICLE and The Legal Chronicle

..STRICTLYCONFIDENTIAL• • •

by Phineas J. Biron

WAR ECHOES
Just before leaving the coun-
try on a secret Navy mission Wal-
ter Winchell pointed out to us
that the Nazi massacres in Po-
land are like the wholesale kill-
ings of dangerous witnesses in
which the prohibition gangsters
used to indulge . . . But, Winchell
added. the Nazis can't destroy the
evidence against them in that
way . . . The government-in-
exile have enough proof of Nazi
criminality to convince any jury
. . Ex-Governor Lehman, they
say, is already studying ways ant
means of feeding the Italians
after their collapse, which is ex-
pected before 19-13 is more than
a few months Old . . . Congratu-
lations to the Exide storage bat-
tery people on the Axis represen-
tative they are featuring in their
ads—an individual with the H't-
ler forelock and mustache, the
Hirohito eyes and the teeth and
the Benito chin and jowels . . .
Quite a combination . . . Hun-
gary is one of the Axis nations,
but Neal O'Hara reports that
the good people of Budapest ex-
press their feelings on this poli-
tical affiliation by making it a
point to exercise their dogs in
Hitler Square and Mussolini
Square . . . Have your young-
sters told you that "Superman"
has become a one-man army
fighting against the Nazis and
bidding fair to run them out of
existence? . . . It isn't a coin-
cidence that this military career
started just about the time when
Jerry Siegel, co-creator of this
legendary figure, was settling his
affairs to become one of Uncle
Sam's soldiers.
JEWISH AFFAIRS
Some interesting and hereto-
fore unknown correspondence be-
tween Theodor Harzel and Wal-
ther Rathenau has come to
light . . . It seems that the Ger-
man Jewish statesman, whom the
Nazis murdered while he was
serving as Minister of Fore'gn
Affairs in the Weimar Republic,
had once flirted with the idea of
Z'onism to the extent of sub-
scribing to Dic Welt, the Zionist
publication which Herzl edited
. . . An editor writes in to say
that that headline about "47,000
Jews in Palestine All-Jewish Reg-
iment Poised to Strikes at Axis,"
to which we objected last week on
the grounds that it is misleading,
was taken from a United Pales-
tine Appeal release .. . He adds

that he still doesn't believe us
when we tell him that there are
hardly 10,000 Jewish soldiers
from Palestine in British combat
units . . . Well, he's right when
re says we made a mistake on
that po nt . . . Actually there are
less than 6,000 of the enlisted
Palestinian Jewish boys in com-
batant service outside of Pales
tine.
READER'S GUIDE
If you want the inside dope on
IliCer and his aides, get a copy
:if Bella Fromm's "Blood and
Banquets" . . . M'ss Fromm, a
refugee now in this country, kept
a diary for years in Berlin, and
then managed to smuggle it out
. . . A report card dating from
Adolf's school days is featured
in Ludwig Wagner's new book,
"Hitler: Man of Strife." The
item that interests us on that
report is one reading: "Pennutn-
ship—Disagreeable." . .. That,
it seems to us, adequately sums
us the Fuehrer's personality . .
Congratulations to Abraham Ro.
gatnick for his blunt, unre-
touched interview with Harvard's
Professor Harry A. Wolfson of
Harvard, which appeared exclu-
sively in the New York YMHA
Bulletin . . . A forthcoming bio-
graphy will describe the career
of the late Dr. Joseph Goldber-
ger, the scientist who did such
important work on pellagra . . .
"Continuous Performance," Mrs.
A. J. Balaban's biography of her
husband, the showman, recalls
that fourteen years ago Musso-
lini tried to get the Shuberts to
produce a play he had written,
and, what's more, insisted that
he should get a half million dol-
lars in advance royalties ... And
are the Shuberts glad they didn't
take him up!
SCIENTIFIC INTERLUDE
Professor Jacques Hadamard,
who delivered that most interest-
ing address on "The Psychology
of Invention in the Mathematical
Domain" before the Scripta Math-
ematical Forum this week, knows
about such things, for he has
some amazing mathematical in-
ventions to his credit . . . Until
war conditions forced him to
leave his native France, where
his family has been prominent
for generations, Prof. Hadamard
was one of that country's most
esteemed mathematicians, a mem-
ber of the French Academy of
Science, etc. . . . 78 years of age,
he has been living in semi-re-
tirement for quite some t'me
now . . . Old-timers, however,
may remember that back in the
90's he was one of the organiz-
ers of the Dreyfus defense—and
this not only because of his na-
tural desire to fight anti-Semit-
ism, but because he was in a po-
sition to know that Dreyfus was
innocent of the charge brought
against him . . . For Hadamard
knew Captain Dreyfus very well
indeed, since the Captain's wife
was the mathematician's sister.
. . . Returning to Scripta Mathe-
matica, the quarterly published
by Yeshiva College, we thought
you'd like to know, as the cur-
rent year 1942 rolls toward its
end, that, according to a compli-
cated Hindu calculation briefly
described in the magazine's latest
issue, our old mother earth is
now 1,972,949,040 years old.
STAGE AND SCREEN
Moyer W. Wiesgal is very proud
these days . . . His son Emanuel,
a student at Harvard, has the
male lead in the University's
production of the play "Mashen-
ka," and critics have hailed him
as a genuine discovery . . . Kurt
Weill and Ira Gershwin are hav-
ing conferences concerning a new
operetta, for which Weill will
write the music and Gershwin
the lyrics . . . Otto Preminger,
top-notch stage and screen direc-
tor is very much in demand as
an actor . . . He—whom his
teacher, Max Reinhardt, used to
call a "softie"—has been typed
to play ferocious Gestapo parts.
. . . An operetta about General
Mikhailovich and his Chetniks is
in the making, with Sigmund
Romberg doing the score . . .
Paul Muni is doing quite well on
Broadway with his revival of
"Counsoilor-at-Law," but Holly-
wood is already trying to lure
hint hack for a role in a film to
be called "Soldiers Never Die,"
which will deal with the Russian
scene.
ABOUT PEOPLE
That official position for Ber-
nard M. Baruch is still unan-
nounced, and Washington is
wondering whether the announce-
ment is being delayed until a de-
cision has been made as to wheth-
er his brother, Dr. Herman Ba-
ruch is to become the next Gov-

at 8 p. In. All the food neces-
sary will be contributed and the

for freedom. Every An rican dol-
lar is equivalent to twenty
Chinese dollars so the public is
urged to help in this cause. One
course of the meal must be a
rice dish so the menu for the
evening will be based around
this course.
The raffle, which was post-
poned from its original drawing
date, was drawn after the recep-
tion, concluding a very full and
enjoyable evening.
