New York for London last week,

But Dr. Tartakover declined the

net unless the Polish government
gives more tangible proof Of its
opposition to anti-Semitic trends

EPISODE:

At the recent hearing before
the House Foreign Affairs Com-
mittee on the Resolution to Res-
cue European Jews, the following
dialogue occurred between Rep-
resentative Karl Mundt and Wil-
liam B. Ziff: The Congressman
asked, "What are fhe Jews—a
religion, a race or a nation?" Ziff
embarked on an involved explana-
tion, which, however, failed to
enlighten the Congressman. So
the latter interrupted to ask:
"What kind of a Jew would you
call Congressman Bloom, for in-
stance?" Whereupon . au mbar-
rasing pause fell over the hear-
ing . . . And somewhere in the
room a newspaper reported lean-
ed over an I (. whispered to his s
neighbor: "That answer wouldn't
be fit to print."

BACK THE ATTACK!

The Time—THIS YEAR

Your money goes into battle every
time you invest in War Bonds—goes
up to the German lines in the form of
tanks, planes, assault boats as pic-
tured here in the Mediterranean

area.

Success of our troops depends upon
the help they get from the home
front. Bullets fired yesterday won't
win tomorrow's battle. War Bonds
bought last month won't pay for
our next offensive. Give your dol-
lars action: Buy More War Bonds.
