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. Sincere Chanukah Greetings!
