Scheduled for Sept.

Because early September is
considered to be an ideal time
for cruising the Great Lakes,
the Detroit and Cleveland Navi-
gation Co. has scheduled four
cruises to northern waters for
this period, according to D. L.
Rodgers, general passenger agent.
These cruises, scheduled to leave
Detroit on Sept. 1, 4, 8 and 11,
promise to be among the most
popular of the entire season, he
said.
Two of the cruises are week-
end and two mid-week, it was
explained. The week-end cruises
will leave Detroit on Friday,
Sept. 1 and Friday, Sept. 8, visit
Harbor Springs and Mackinac
Island on Saturday and Sunday
and return to Detroit the follow-
ing Monday morning at 7 a. m.
The mid-week cruises will leave
Detroit Monday, Sept. 4 and
Monday, Sept. 11, at 2:30 in the
afternoon and return on the fol-
lowing Friday morning. Stops
will be made at Harbor Springs,
Mackinac Island and at Midland,
Ontario in the Georgian Bay
Region.
"Because most vacations arc
taken in July and August so that
families with children may re-
turn home for the opening of
school, many cruise enthusiasts
have never experienced the de-
light of cruising in this area in
early September," Rodgers ex-
plained. "An Indian SUMMC•
cruise in early September on the
Great Lakes is a delightful ex-
perience that one never forgets,"
he concluded.

At the end of life the soul
goes forth alone; whereupon only
our good deeds befriend us.

If they may cause by it the

is highly esteemed by the right-
eous, as if it were gain.

Lt. Philip S. Denenfeld of 107
Tyler Ave. has been awarded the
Distinguished Flying Cross "for
extraordinary achievement," it
was announced this week by
Brig.-Gen. Thomas 0. Hardin,
commanding the India-China
Wing, Air Transport Command,
USAAF.
Lt. Denenfeld received the cov-
eted award, says the citation, for
"participating in more than 300
hours of operational flight over
the dangerous and difficult As-
sam-China air routes, where en-
emy interception and attack
were probable and expected."
These routes lead across the for-
midible "hump" of the Hima-
layas, and for some time have
formed virtually the only life-
line of military supply to Free
China.
He enlisted April 1, 1942, just
before his graduation from the
Highland Park High School. He
graduated in June, 1944 with
credits earned in the Army
School. Lt. Denenfeld is the son
of Mr. and Mrs. S. Greenberger
of 107 Tyler Ave., Highland
Park.

War Refugee Board to
Find Havens for Jewish
Children in Hungary

WASHINGTON ( W N S ) —
John W. Pehle, executive direct-
or of the War Refugee Board,
announced here this week that
he was making plans to secure
havens for all the • Jewish chil-
dren in Hungary who can be
rescued under the terms of
Regent Nicholas Horthy's recent
offer to the International Red
Cross. Mr. Pehle made the dis-
closure following the receipt by
the War Refugee Board of
Regent Horthy's communication
to the Red Cross offering to re-
lease all Jewish children under
the age of 10 who can secure
visas to reception countries, and
all Jews in Hungary holding en-
trance visas to Palestine.
Horthy made the offer last
week to the International Red
Cross in Geneva. The Red Cross
transmitted the note to its rep-
resentatives here, who in turn
forwarded it to George L. War-
ren, the State Department's liai-
son officer with the War Refugee
Board.
The Red Cross communication
reads:
"Following on the steps taken
in Budapest by the International
Red Cross Commission in Gen-
eva, the Hungarian authorities
have given the Commission offi-
cial assurances that transporta-
tion of Jews beyond the Hun-
garian frontiers has ceased and
that the International Commis-
sion are authorized to furnish re-
lief to Jews who are interned or
enforced residents in Hungary.
"The Commission is further-
more empowered to cooperate in
the evacuation of all Jewish chil-
dren under 10 years of age who
are in possession of visas to re-
ception countries and all Jews
in Hungary holding entrance
visas to Palestine will receive
permission from the authorities
to leave for that country."

He who stints the profit he
has made, his wealth will soon
be spent and lost.
—Fo-sho-hing-tsan-king.

Rather will I fall headlong
into hell . . . than do a deed that
is unworthy.—Jataka.

The wrongdoer, devoid of rec-
titude, . . . is full of anxiety

Allied War Crimes Commission Lists
Nazis Guilty of Killing Jews in Latvia

STOCKHOLM (WNS) — A
list of 24 Latvians who partici-
pated in the Nazis' massacres
of Jews in Latvia was on its way
to the Allied War Crimes Com-
mission in London after submis-
sion to a relief organization here
by a Jewish woman who escaped
and has just reached Sweden
after hiding from the Gestapo
for one and a half years.
The list is topped by two men
who between them are accused
of responsibility for the murder
of 7,000 Jews. One is Feliks
Ditietis, to whom the killing of
3,000 is laid. The other is Peter
Seglitis, an interpreter for the
Gestapo, who participated in the
slaying of 4,000. Also prominent
in the list is Pilot Cukurs, who
was known in Riga as "the Jew-
killer."
The woman who submitted the
list to a representative here of
the Federation of Jewish Relief
Associations, with headquarters
in London, is Mrs. Selma Ander-
son, who was rescued from the
Riga ghetto Nov. 26, 1941, on
the eve of a massacre, by the
man she subsequently married,
Alexander Anderson. At the out-
break of the war she was a stu-
dent in the English College at
Riga.
In the Summer and Fall of
1941 during the first weeks of
the German occupation, Mrs. An-
derson said, 26,000 Latvian Jew:;
were murdered in the provinces
and the remainder fled to Riga,
where more thousands were
killed. Only a thousand were left

when the Nazis established the
Riga ghetto.
Fifteen thousand Jews were
said by Mrs. Anderson to have
been shot in a wholesale mass•
acre that took place in the court.
yard of a rubber factory .outside
Riga on Nov. 27, 1941. Several
thousand others were killed in a
second massacre on Dec. 7.
After those two massacres,
only war workers remained in
the Riga ghetto, which was final-
ly liquidated in the Fall of 1043.
when survivors were taken to
Kaizerwald. Their fate is not
known.
