back?
4—Benny Lom once tackled his
own teammate and for that
play was cheered by 90,000
people and became the most
talked of man in the country.
How come?
5—Who is Stan Chesney and why
is he so well known to sport
fans?

Now for the answers:

1—Johnny Kling who made his
major debut in 1900 was tho
first Jewish ball player in the
big time. He was considered
the greatest catcher the game
knew. Today he is a million-
aire owner of the Kansas City
Blues.
2—Mushy Callahan, Jackie Kid
Berg and Barney Ross were
the numbers 1, 2 and 4 hold-
ers of the junior welterweight
title of the world. Berg beat
Callahan and lost to Canzon-
eri—no 3 and Ross avenged
Berg's defeat.
3—Smukler gave up a football
and a $10,000 a year contract
so that he would not become
"a football bum". He entered
the army when the services
paid 21 bucks per month. To-
day is a lieutenant in the air
force.
4—Loin tackled Roy Riegels in
the Tournament of the Roses
Bowl game 15 years ago when
Riegels picked up a fumble
and ran the wrong way. Lom
sprinted down the field and
tackled Roy to stave of a
touchdown for the wrong
team.
5—Stan Chesney is considered
the greatest soccer player in
this country. The dapper five
foot six inch Jewish athlete
is also the inventor of the
six man indoor game which
was played to a packed house
at Madison Square Garden
some 18 months ago.

Jews Barred from Paris
Streets on Bastille Day

LONDON. (WNS) — Nazi
police officials in Paris issued
a decree barring Jews from
all public places during the
celebration of Bastille Day, it
was reported here this week.
The order warned that any
Jew found on the streets on
that day would be severely
punished.

Palestine Industry
Faces Crisis When
War Orders Cease

JERUSALEM (WNS)—A re-
port appearing in the Palestine
press this week revealing that 75
percent of Palestine's industries
have been founded since the out-
break of the war and that many
of them will be forced to liqui-
date after war orders cease.
In connection with this situa-
tion a delegation representing the
Palestine Industrial Association
visited the High Commissioner
and appealing to him for action
by the government to open new
markets for Palestine products
in neighboring countries.
The delegation pointed out that
the opening of the Mediterranean
has already had an effect on Pal-
estine industry. Many products
which were formerly purchased in
Palestine are now being shipped
to the British armies in the Mid-
dle East directly from England.
The industrialist warned the High
Commissioner that a grave eco-
nomic crisis and consequent large
scale unemployment will follow
unless the Government acts.
This problem was also discussed
this week at the 50th convention
of the Histadruth, Palestine Fed-
eration of Labor. Speakers dis-
cussed specific measures that or-
ganized Jewish labor must take
to meet the threat of post-war
unemployment.
The report in the press re-
veals that about 90 percent of
the capital invested in Palestine
industry since 1940 is Jewish and
that 77 percent of the labor is
Jewish. It points out that Army
contracts totalled $5,000,000 in
1940 and reached $50,000,000 in
1942. Through the United King-
dom Commercial Corporation im-
portant supplies have also been
sent to Turkey, including boots
for the army, canvas for tents
and heavy harbor equipment.

DETROIT JEWISH CHRONICLE and The Legal Chronicle

Words and Music

David Alter, publisher of the
Jewish Criterion in Pittsburgh,
has relayed a query about war
songs written by Jewish song-
writers.
Well, sonic of the best of a
current poor crop are by Jews.
They include:
Irving Berling — "Any Bonds
Today?" "Arms for the Love of
America," and many others, in-
cluding the hits from "This Is
the Army," such as "I Left My
Heart at the Stage Door Can-
teen," "This Is the Army, Mr.
Jones," etc., etc.
Frank Lesser—"Praise the Lord
and Pass the Ammunition."
Sam Cahn-Julie Steyn — "Vic-
tory Polka."
Red Evans-Johnny Loeb—"Un-
conditional Surrender."
Harold Arlen — "God's Coun-
try."
Al Goodman--"Johnny Dough-
boy Found a Rose in Ireland."
Eddy Silvers — "When the
Lights Go On Again."
Mack David—"Johnny Got a
Zero."
Walter Kent—"The White Cliffs
of Dover."
Nat Burton—"Russia Is Her
Name."
E. Y. Harburg — "Remember
Pearl Harbor."
Sonia of the best of a bad crop,
I say, because the really good
songs remain still to be written,
and Tin Pan Alley knows it. A
great quest is one. Down around
midtown New York the air is
heavy with cogitation and the
frantic hunt for the inspiration
that will lead to THE song of
this war.
So far the accent has been on
quantity rather than quality. It
is estimated that some 1,0110
songs were written in the first
24 hours after Pearl Harbor. Pro-
duction has continued at a high
level, but the songs have been,
for the most part, shoddy and
cheap or overly sentimental or

luridly belligerent or just re-
writes of time-worn themes.
Tin Pan Alley knows what the
ingredients of the great war song
must be. It must have pathos in
it, without being maudlin. It
must have an affecting tune. It
must, without being blatant, have
something in it of what we are
fighting this war for. Several
such songs emerged from the
last war, songs like "Over There"
and "Tipperary". It remains to
be seen how ninny will be writ-
ten during this war. that will be
remembered in years to conic.

Anti-Semites in Hungary
Object to Decision to Allow
Jewish Doctors to Practice

GENEVA. (WNS)—The recent
decision by the Hungarian au-
thorities allowing Jewish doctors
to resume practicing because of
the shortage of physicians has
aroused much opposition in sec-
tions of the Hungarian press and
from prominent anti-Jewish physi-
cians.
Sonic Budapest papers reaching
here this week carry editorials
assailing the government's act anti
protesting the fact that "Jews
still retain too much influence."
One paper publishes an article by
Dr. Lajos Fabry, a prominent
Budapest doctor, warning that
"the difficulties encountered in
the transition period must not be
allowed to be used to smuggle
back the Jews."
These same papers disclose that
the Hungarian "Chamber of Ac-
tors" has decided to bar all Jews
from membership, thus making it
impossible for them to secure
employment in any theater. At
the same time the chamber has
arranged with the managers of
all theaters to discharge all Jew-
ish actors and other Jews now
in their employ.
