Declaration "Not Good
Enough" Says N. Y. Post
NEW YORK. (WNS) — The
joint declaration issued by the
United Nations in protest against
the Nazi mass murders of Jews
was described as "good, but not
good enough," in an editorial
this week in the New York Post,
which urged more forceful action
to halt the Nazi ruthless massa-
cres of Jews.
"It is not good enough be-
cause it won't stop the extermi-
nation," the N. Y. Post said.
"The serious purpose to ' stop
the extermination should result in
a serious plan capable of doing
so. The proposal to deal out
'retribution' after the war, to
those responsible for the mass
murder does not meet the con-
ditions for a serious plan. It
merely draws the murderers
closer to their employer and in-
stigator, Adolf Hitler."
The N. Y. Post advocated "the
immediate outlawing of the en-
tire top apparatuses of both the
National Socialist Party of Ger-
many and the Fascist Party of
Italy" as the beginning of a
serious reply "to the incredib'•
outrages now being committed."
The newspaper continued: "TM
proclamation that theso function-
aries are regarded as outlaws,
now, and without trial, is the
way to separate them from the
people in their countries, and
to start the process of disobedi-
ence to their bloody commands.
"That should be backed by the
specific threat to wipe out fas-
cist cities, in retaliation for the
murder of any innocents—not
Jews alone, but Poles, Serbs,
Croat 'Czechs, Frenchmen, Hol-
landers, Norwegians, Greeks. Our
policy should be that we are
against the shooting of any hos-
tage, prisoner or captive, of any
nationality, that we propose to
take serious action in regard to
these murders."
Leading newspapers throughout
the nation joined iin condemning
the Nazi scheme to exterminate
the Jewish population of occu-
pied Europe. The New York
Times made this comment: "The
most tragic aspect of the situa-
tion is the world's helplessness
to stop the horror while the war
is going on. The most it can do
is to denounce the perpetrators
and promise them individual and
separate retribution. But at least
this we know: that there can be
no compromise with this evil
force. It must be driven from
the face of the earth."
British Jews Hope
Declaration Will Halt
Nazi Massacres of Jews
LONDON. (WNS)—The hope
that the joint United Nations
declaration would serve as a
warning against the continued
slaughter of innocent men, wom-
en and children, and "save hu-
man lives from the process of
extermination," was expressed in
a resolution adopted by the
Board of Deputies of British
Jews.
Expressing the gratitude of
Jews throughout the world at the
joint statement, the resolution
added: "The process of exter-
mination is still going on. The
most pressing need is the saving
of as many human lives as pos-
sible from ever-present catastro-
phic danger. We hope that the
United Nations will be able to
concert practical measures with-
out delay for asylum in terri-
tories under their control and
also to secure the good offices of
the neutral lands in the rescue
work."
A statement issued by the
Jewish Agency for Palestine said:
"Jewry hears in this verdict the
voice of conscience of man. Ac-
tive measures to counter the Ger-
man policy flew from it in moral
sequence. We appeal to all free
nations to give refuge to the
homeless Jews. We appeal to
the British Government, as trus-
tees of our National Home, to
let the half-million Jews in Pal-
estine fullfil their duty by re-

.
Auxiliary of the United Hebrew
Schools.
The Donor event will take
place at the Congregation Shaarey
Zedek on Jan. 27 at 12:30 p. m.
The various committees are dil-
igently working to make this af-
fair a success.
The project is most worthwhile
as the funds raised are used to
pay for the maintenance of the
buses which furnish transporta-
tion for the children to and from
the Hebrew Schools.
The next regular meeting of
the Auxiliary which is to take
place at the Rose Sittig Cohen
Branch of the United Hebrew
Schools on Wednesday, Dec. 30,
at 1 p. m. will be a dessert
luncheon.
At this meeting the program
committee will present Aaron
Rosenberg, prominent Detroit
attorney and author, who is well
known in both Yiddish and Eng-
lish speaking cultural groups in
the community. Mr. Rosenberg
will present a selection of Yid-
dish interpretative readings.
Members are invited to bring
guests.
Mrs. Jack Tobin is president
of the auxiliary and Mrs. Max

children, now grown to man-
hood in his artistry, though only
fifteen. It was as a member of
the Junior Music Study Club that
Seymour Lipkin first won recog-
nition by winning the Michigan
Federation of Music Club's state
piano contest at the age of nine.
Then came in rapid succession an
appearance with the Michigan
Symphony Orchestra over WXYZ,
an appearance on "A Chance of
a Lifetime" program, on a na-
tional hookup from WLW, Cin-
cinnati, for which he was chosen
from the National Music Camp,
at Interlochen, Mich., from hun-
dreds of contestants. At eleven,
he won a scholarship to the Cur-
tis Institute of Music in Phila-
delphia, which he is still con-
tinuing. At this, one of the finest
musical institutions in this coun-
try, he has received every form
of musical training, including
harmony, theory, sulfege, cham-
ber music, orchestration, opera,
etc. His academic work has also
been of the highest caliber. Un-
der private tutelage he has com-
pleted all courses required for
high school graduation, and, with
the cooperation of the Board of
Education, he plans to graduate
from Northwestern High School
this coming June.
Seymour has been spending his
summers at various music camps.
For three summers he was part
of the National High School Or-
chestra at Interlochen, Michigan.
Last summer, however, he was
at Berkshire, Mass., where Dr.
Serge Koussevitzky conducted the
Berkshire Music Center Orches-
tra. It was after he had served
as official pianist for this orches-
tra that Dr. Koussevitzky said of
him, "Seymour revealed an ex-
ceptional and brilliant gift as a
pianist."

cution. The Germans call this the
'liquidation of the Jewish ele-
ment'."
At the premier's request, the
audience rose and maintained a
minute of silence in honor of the
victims of Hitler's barbarism.
Benjamin Graubart greeted
Premier Sikorski in an address
that was enthusiastically received
by the audience. Mr. Graubart
emphasized that more than any
other people the Jews have con-
stantly defended their right to
live independently and to develop
their own national culture and
personality, even as European
minorities are now dedicated to-
wards maintaining that same
right. As Jews we can therefore
appreciate keenly the valor and
significance of the struggle of
Poland.
On Friday Mr. Sikorski grant-
ed the representatives of the
Federation for Polish Jews a
special interview and discussed
with them a number of subjects
affecting Jews, and particularly
the possibilities for extending to
Jewish refugees of practical as-
sistance in the form of food and
clothing.
Over Station WJBK, during
the Jewish Hour conducted by
Harry Weinberg, weekly reports
may be heard concerning activi-
ties of the local district of the
Federation. The next bulletin
sent to members will be released
shortly.

The Music Study Club wishes to

mons Scholarship Fund and to
the philanthropic work of the
club.

Senator Norris Pays
Tribute to Brandeis
Senator George W. Norris said
at a Supreme Court memorial
service last Monday for the late
Justice Louis D. Brandeis that
the famous liberal jurist was "the
embodiment of a philosopher
which uplifts and guides strug-
gling mortals along the pathway
of life toward an ideal where
justice tempered with mercy
reigns supreme."
Addressing a meeting of law-
yers who have been admitted to
practice before the Supreme
Court, the 81-year-old senator
added:
"The life of Justice Brandeis
has been a guiding star and an
inspiration to untold numbers of
his countrymen who are happier
and who are better citizens, bet-
ter fathers, and husbands, because
Justice Brandeis lived.
"His words of cheer for the
downtrodden and his words of
hope for the afflicted, will con-
tinue to bring new courage to
all struggling mortals. His life
shines as a beacon light in the
world of hope."
Paul A. Freund, a special as-
sistant to the Attorney-General
and one time law clerk to Jus-
tice Brandeis, said the jurist "had
his own formula for success;
Brains, rectitude, singleness of
purpose and time."
Justice Brandeis, the first Jew
to serve on the Supreme Court,
died Oct. 5, 1941, at the age of
89. He retired from the court
Feb. 15, 1939, after serving 22
years.
ceiving their brethren and sis-
ters in the one place where
Jewish refugees cease to be
strangers."
The joint declaration was
broadcast in 23 languages over a
world-wide network by the British
Broadcasting Corporation in Lon-
don. Reports received here said
that the Moscow radio similarly
broadcast the Allied warning to
Nazi Germany.
