Demands Reprisals
Against Germans for
Atrocities Against Jews
LONDON (WNS) Emannuel
Szerer, Jewish representative in
the Polish National Council here
last week demanded that the Al-
lies proceed with immediate re-
prisals against the Germans for
the atrocities they are still com-
mitting against the Jews in Po-
land.
Arguing that "reprisals can be
carried out now," Mr. Szerer
stated: "Immediate repirsals, or
at least the threat of immediate
reprisals, can result in forcing
Germany to cease the anti-Jew-
ish crimes." He l es° declared that
it was "a fatal error to assume
that there are no Jews in Po-
land," and that a way can and
must be found to send food to
the Jews in the ghettoes through
the Red Cross.
One of the first youth alyahs of the religious laborers establish
a prosperous settlement. It has in it now about 600 children. Miss
Henrietta Szold, when visiting this colony some years ago, expressed
her delight with the manner in which the colonists combined labor
and religious observances.
Refugee Revives an Abandoned Corn Belt Industry
and Brings New Prosperity to An Iowa Town
The talk of the mid-West corn
belt today is the achievement of a
54-year-old refugee in establish-
ing a new industry, revivifying the
economic life of an Iowa town,
and creating a new market for
farmers.
The newcomer is Albert Flegen-
heimer, and the town which is the
scene of his accomplishment is
Waverly, Ia. An old sugar mill,
which had been closed for more
than 20 years, has been reopened
by Mr. Flegenheimer, converted
into a plant for manufacture of
corn products, employing 100 of
Waverly's 3,000 inhabitants.
Mr. Flegenheimer is one of the
many victims who are repaying
America's hospitality by contribut-
ing their experience and skills to
the enrichment of this country. Ad-
justment of most of these newcom-
ers to American life has been
made possible by the National
Refugee Service, whose work is
supported by the United Jewish
appeal.
Before the rise of Hitler, Mr.
Flegenheimer occupied an out-
standing position as an interna-
tional leader in Europe's sugar
refineries which had languiShed
after the first World War, and
making them pay. In Germany
alone he managed a company
which operated 21 refineries with
a capacity of 300,000 tons a year.
He also had holdings in Italy and
Belgium.
Even after Hitler came, Mr.
Flegenheimer might have remain-
ed in Germany and continued his
industrial operations. The Nazis
offered to cancel all restrictions
aganst him and to give him hon-
orary "Aryan" status. These con-
cessions left him unmoved, how-
ever. Abandoning his holdings in
Germany, though they were worth
a fortune, he emigrated first to
Italy, and later to America.
Mr. Flegenheimer hopes some
day to repeat in Iowa some of
the things he accomplished in Eu-
rope. The abandoned Waverly mill
offered a challenge he was ready
to meet. He purchased the mill
with the help of friends and re-
equipped it for the manufacture
of malt syrup, with cattle fodder
as a by-product. With its present
equipment the refinery will pro-
duce from 250,000 to 300,000
pounds of syrup and from 30 to
40 tons of fodder a day.
