Phi Sigma Nu Sells $138,425 in War Bonds

When final figures are tabulated on the Fifth War Loa
Drive, the achievement scored by the Phi Sigma Nu Fraternity
will undoubtedly rank among Detroit's top efforts.
The Phi Sigma Nu was recently organized by six high school
boys with the chief purpose to help the war effort. Their first
project was to make a pledge to Frank N. Isbey, chairman of
Michigan's War Finance Committee, to sell $15,000 worth of
bonds in the Fifth War Loan to buy a trainer for the Army Air
Corps. However, after achieving their original goal, they stepped
up their efforts and sold a grand total of $138,425 in bonds.

tary; Howard Keyes, treasurer.

German People Are Responsible for Mass
Killing of Jews, Declares Brendan Bracken

LONDON (WNS).—When the
time comes to punish the crim-
inals responsible for the mass
slaughter of the Jews in Europe,
the German General Staff will
be the first to be dealt with,
it was asserted here last week
by Brendan Bracken British
Minister of Information, who de-
clared that "the responsibility
rests not only on the Nazis, but
upon the entire German people
and particularly upon the Gen-
eral Staff".
Mr. Bracken made the state-
ment at a meeting of the Kisch
Memorial Committee, at which
plans were made to organize a
memorial for Brigadier General
Frederick Herman Kisch, the
noted Zionist, who was killed it
North Africa while serving as the
chief engineer of the Eighth
Army, and to raise $400,000 to
establish a colony in Palestine
for demobilized Jewish soldiers.
Declaring that the Germans
were setting up abbatoirs in Eu-
rope "into which are shepherded
thousands of Jews" and "dis-
patched with the sort of brutal
efficiency in which the Prussian
delights," the British Minister
of Information asserted that
when the day of reckoning conies
the German General Staff will
be the first to be dealt with.
"These men," he said, "will pay
the price for the bestial cruelty
against the Jews." He said that
not the flying bombs, but the
tragedy of the Hungarian Jews
has been the occupation of the
government during the last two

Jews in Hungary
Face Extermination

JERUSALEM (WNS). — In-
formation indicating that the
final stage in the tragedy of the
Hungarian Jews is rapidly ap-
proaching has reached here from
most authoritative circles in Tur-
key.
These sources report that up
to June 17, 400,000 Jews had
been sent from Hungary to death
camps in Poland and that the
remaining 350,000 Jews in Hun-
gary who are being rounded up
by the Nazis are expected to be
put to death in Polish camps by
the end of this month.
A cable received here from the
Polish Telegraphic Agency in
i
New York, quoting the Polish
underground radio SWIT, said
that the Germans had begun de-
portation of more than 100,000
Hungarian Jews to the notorious
Oswiecim concentration camp in
Poland on May 15, when 62 rail-
road carriages, filled with chil-
dren from 2 to 8 years old, were
sent to Poland. Adult Hungarian
Jews were sent at the rate of
six trainloads a day. The report
said that most of the Jews, after
being informed they would be
exchanged in Poland for pris-
oners of war, had been put to
death in gas chambers at Os-
wiecim.

weeks," and promised that the
Quisling government in Hungary
will be held responsible for the
crimes against the Jews and for
the setting up of abbatoirs to
exterminate the victims.
"This is the biggest scandal
in the history of human crime,"
said Mr. Bracken, "and the re-
sponsibility rests on the German
people. They may later say, 'Oh,
the wicked Nazis,' but the Ger-
man people have the responsi-
bility and also the General Staff,
who could have stopped it.
"What delights me so much
today and would have given so
much pleasure to Brigadier Kisch
is that the Russian general who
is most likely to take his troops
first onto German soil is a very
distinguished Jew."

Confiscated Jewish
Property Restored
Speedily by Allies

ROME (WNS). — A move to
speed and facilitate the restora-
tion of all property that was con-
fiscated from the Jews in Italy
by the Mussolini regime and th,.
Nazi despoilers was taken this
week when the Allied Military
Government in Rome announced
the establishment of a special
committee to deal with the prob-
lem.
The committee, whose composi-
tion is expected to be announced
soon, Will aid the authorities in
facilitating the restoration of all
confiscated Jewish property by
registering all claimants and by
passing both on the merits of
their claims and the extent of
the damage they suffered.
In the meantime the Allied
Military Government has taken
measures to house the homeless
Jews in Rome by providing them
with temporary shelters. When
Rome was liberated many of the
Jews who returned to their
homes found them so wrecked
and sacked as to be untenable. In
Many instances patriotic Italian
Christians offered to share their
dwellings with their Jewish fel-
low-citizens. More than 800 Jews
who fled Rome when it was occu-
pied by the Nazis and hid them-
selves in rock-shelters in the
mountain regions have returned
here this week.
With life in Rome rapidly as-
suming a degree of normalcy.
Jewish communal life is showing
signs of revival. Several Italian
Jews who had been active in the
Zionist movement here held a
meeting this week and mapped
out plans how to reorganize the
now defunct Zionist Organization.
The group decided to renew publi-
cation of the Zionist magazine
"Israel", which appeared in Flor-
ence for many years until Mus-
solini banned it.

"I betiere Mr. Ford has the solu-
tion of the problem of the popular
automobile."

PRESIDENT TAFT GAVE THE STARTING SIGNAL

irT is June 1, 1909. For weeks the
.11. papers have carried the exciting
news. Now, before New York's City
Hall five "horseless carriages"--
Acme, Shawmut, Itala and two
Model-T Fords—stand hub to hub.
Anxiously mechanics make final
adjustments. Then, from the White
House, President Taft flashes the
signal. And America's first trans-
continental auto race is under way.
West of St. Louis seven-day rains
had turned the country roads into
quagmires. Across the prairies and
in Colorado average speeds were cut
to ten miles an hour.
At Cheyenne, Wyoming, the big
Itala quit the race. The others

plowed on. Near the summit of the
Cascades they fought their way
against towering snow drifts.
Days later, Ford Car Number 2
—the winner—entered the gates of
Seattle's Alaska-Yukon-Pacific
Exposition. It had crossed the con-
tinent in 22 days and 55 minutes,
with New York air still in the two
front tires!
As he awarded the trophy cup,
Colonel M. Robert Guggenheim
said: "Mr. Ford's theory that a light-

weight car, highly powered . . . can go
places where heavier cars cannot go,
and can bent heavier cars costing fire
and six times as much, on the sleep
hill or on bad roads, has been prored.

The proof of that no longer rests
in a single car which won a race,
but in the 30 million cars and
trucks Ford has built. And today
millions of them are providing
reliable, economical transportation
for wartime America.
Meanwhile the inventive genius
and the precision skills associated
with the name Ford continue to
serve the nation in the mass pro-
duction of giant aircraft and other
means to victory.
In the days of peace ahead, Ford's
resourcefulness will again produce
soundly-engineered motor cars,
priced within the reach of the
largest number of people.
