Terrace Casino
.• STRICTLYCONFIDENTIAL 6 e • Grand
Changes Its Name

by Phineas J. Biron

SIDELIGHTS:
Orchids to Father George Ford
o f the Corpus Christi Catholic
Church . . . When his attention
was c alled to certain reading
matter appearing on collection
envelopes used in his church, he
ordered the envelopes destroyed
and new ones substituted • .
The reading matter under criti-
cism was non-conducive to good
will between Christians and Jews
Two columns ago we predict-
ed the defeat of the Liberal
Party in the Canadian Province
o f Quebec . . . Now it has hap-
pened . . . The election results,
which place the Union Nationale
party in power, will create prob-
lems that Jewish leadership in
this French - Canadian province
will have to meet forcefully .. .
It is up to the United States
Jewish leadership not only to
watch developments but to en-
operate as much as diplomatic
conventions permit . . . Biro-
Bidjan, which will be in the big
news before long, is larger than
Holland and Belgium combined
, . The climate of this autono-
mous Jewish territory in Siberia
is approximately that of our
North Dakota . .. The Kiplinger
Washington Letter, which reflects
the inside knowledge of Big Busi-
ness, states confidentially that
the European war may be over
by Labor Day and will surely
have reached its end by Nov. 1st.
RELATIVELY SPEAKING:
The publication of the new Ein-
stein biography recalls some
characteristic stories regarding
the famed professor . . . There's
the one concerning the time when
Albert Einstein was introduced
to a beautiful movie star . . .
As the news cameras flashed and
reporters recorded this meeting
between science and Hollywood,
the lady exclaimed: "It's such a
thrill to think that I'm talking
to the one man who knows more
about stars than any other living
person" . . . To which Einstein,
with a gallant smile, retorted:
"Not quite . . , No one can pre-
dict what a star will do to get
her name in the papers" . . .
Another story tells of a friend
remarking to Einstein, during his
Hollywood visit: "Aren't you
surprised that nobody stops to
stare at you? . . . If Lana Turn-
er were walking down this same
street every one would turn to
look—but nobody seems to notice
you" . . . And Einstein explained
this phenomenon: "Lane Turner
has a great deal more to show
than I have" . . . To leave the
realm of anecdote for that of
factual reporting, we want you
to know that Dr. Einstein is re-
sponsible for the record sales of
sear bonds under the auspices of
the Book and Author rallies . .
The only existing holographs of
his "Theory of Relativity" and
The Hi-Vector .Field" brought a
total of $11,500,000 into your
and Dr. Einstein's Uncle Sam's
war coffers .. .
THIS AND THAT:
Tennessee Thrush Dinah Shore
is now warbling for the boys in
England—b y special request . . .
Novelist Lion Feuchtwanger re-
cently met Patrick Hitler at a
Hollywood party . . . "And how
did your mother feel about your
Uncle Adolf's theory of Aryan-
ism and non-Aryanism?" Feucht-
wanger asked Adolf's nephew .. .
".My mother," answered Patrick,
"onc e played in a German com-
pany presenting 'Abie's Irish
Rose . " . . . The Jewish Post of
Indiauapolis, published by Gab-
riel Cohen is introducing two new
-

columnists ... One is Rina Gross-
man, a young lady of colorful
background, and daughter of
Meir Grossman, the well-known
journalist . . . The other is Carl
Alpert, former editor of The New
Palestine . .. Rina and Carl will
set a high standard . . . Both
have style, spunk and observing
eyes . . If you want to listen to
the Bible instead of resoling it,
you can now do so . . . The
Library of Congress has just
completed a recording, compris-
ing 169 discs, of the King James
version . . From Palestine
conies a reminder that Dr. Simon
Bernstein, director of the Pales
tine Immigration Bureau of the
Zionist Organization of America,
is an eminent Hebrew scholar
. . The most prominent, writers
of Eretz Israel have formed a
committee to celebrate Dr. Bern-
stein's 60th birthday . . . He
passed that important milestone
this week.
ABOUT PEOPLE
Have you ever heard of Dr.
I). L. Weiss, a New York den-
tist? . . . We'll bet you didn't
. Well, in the files of the Was
Department Dr Weiss is listed
as one of the nation's niost bril-
liant creators of precision instru-
ments . . . He works for war in-
dustry 16 hours a day . . . An-
other one of America's unsung
heroes is Tech. Sgt. Robert Blum-
stein of the Bronx, who has to
his credit 65 combat missions
over the hottest targets in the
South Pacific . . . We're told that
this number of missions consi-
tutes a record . . . Our belated
congratulations to Moishe Cohen,
also known as General Ma of
the Chinese Army, on his mar-
riage to stately Judith Clark, pro-
prietor of a dress shop in Mon-
treal . . . Boake Carter, the for-
mer columnist is ml radio com-
mentator, is now concentrating
on his religious life . . . The once
elegant frequenter of exclusive
drawing-rooms now sponsors a
long beard and wears sandals .. .
Too bad that - actor Danny Kaye
has decided to have his nose re-
modeled . . . As God made it his
fact had character . . . Altered,
it will make him look like any
cigar-counter clerk.
WEEKLY GIGGLE:
From Spain conies the story of
the boastings of an American, a
Frenchman and a German who
were leaning on a bar in that
neutral territory . . . The Amer-
ican bragged about the wonderful
view we have from the top of
the Empire State Building in New
York . . . The Frenchman coun-
tered with a graphic description
of the panorama of Paris as seen
from the Eiffel Tower . . . But
the German had them both beat
. . . "That's nothing at all," he
said ... "Today anybody can see
all of Berlin by just standing on
a chair."

To The Latin Quarter

Norman Ross, director of the
Terrace Casino located on East
Grand Blvd. just off Woodward
Ave., announces the change of
home to Latin Quarter. He ex-
plained the reason for the
change of name in the following
statement:
"After several weeks of nego-
tiation we have been successful
in securing the services of Lou
Walters, Wally Wanger, Nat Har-
ris and Arthur Rozen, famous
for their unexcelled record in
presenting shows, food and serv-
ice in Latin Quarters located in
Boston, New York and Miami.
In acquiring the services of
these highly trained men and in
associating ourselves with tlw
Latin Quarter systems as now
established throughout the coun-
try we believe that Detroit for
the first time in its hisory will
have a theater-restaurant befit-
ting the fourth city of the Unit-
ed States.
The selection of the above
men was made by the officers of
the Grand Terrace, Inc., after
a thorough seat'os throughout
America to find the proper peo-
ple capable of creating a theater-
restaurant that will appeal to
everyone at a cost that is rea-
sonable and within the reach of
the general public.
The building will be decorated
in an environment of luxury that
will befit the type of productions
that Lou Walters is famous for
throughout the world.
The kitchen is being stream-
lined so that Nat Harris, famous
for food in America and Europe,
will have ass opportunity to pre-
sent the Detroit public with un-
equaled food properly served.
The Latin Quarter will open
its doors early in the Fall and
we believe that with our new
policy of first class shows, good
food and service at a reasonable
price, Detroit will welcome an
old enterprise under a new sys-
tem enthusiastically."
Its accepting these positions:
Lou Walters states: "Every de-
vice of modern stagecraft will
be employed to provide these
luxurious and breath-taking pro-
ductions—every seat will offer
a full unobstructed view in ass
environment unequalled in Amer-
ica."
Wally Wanger states: "In my
16 years of producing shows, I
have selected over 4,000 of the
prettiest girls in the world. Lou
Walters has given me explicit
instructions that the girls for
Detroit's Latin Quarter must
exceed all my past records for
beauty, loveliness and talent."
Nat Harris states: "Our qual-
ity of food and rhythm of serv-
ice will be unexcelled."
Arthur Rozen •states: "Our
budget will be rigidly controlled
so that Detroit can have a first-
rate theater-restaurant at thy
lowest possible cost."

American Jewish Committee Seeks Equality
For Jews of Every Land in Peace Terms

NEW YORK. — Following a
precedent established after the
last war, the American Jewish
Committee will seek to secure in
the peace terms "re-affirmation
of the fundamental principle that
Jewish citizens of every land,
fulfilling their obligation of com-
plete loyalty to their respective
countries, shall be guaranteed
the correlative right of complete
equality," former New York
Supreme Court Justice Joseph
M. Proskauer, president of the
committee, announced here. The
first step in what he termed
"this essential endeavor" has
been taken, Judge Proskauer dis-
closed, in a letter to Secretary
of State Cordell Hull, proffering
to the government the coopera-
tion of the Committee in the
formulation of peace terms
which will help meet the postwar
needs of the shattered Jewish
communities overseas. He said
also that the Committee had filed
with the Department of State a
Declaration of Views setting
forth the basic premises for the
maintenance of Jewish rights.
Simultaneously, Judge Pros-
kauer announced the formation of
a Committee on Peace Problems
of the American Jewish Commit-
tee to study and draw up meas-
ures for the rehabilitation of
Jews and the restoration' of their
civic and economic rights.

Members of Committee

that after the last war the Com-
mittee devoted its efforts to se-
cure in the peace terms provisions
to prevent the infraction of the
rights of Jews in any part of the
world, to give assistance and to
take remedial action in the event
of threatened or actual restric-
tion of such rights, and to obtain
for all Jews equal civic, economic
and educational opportunities. At
the end of this war, he wrote to
Mr. Hull, it is the Committee's
aim "to aid in the formulation
of peace terms which will secure
a world in which Jews, like all
others, are, its a phrase admirably
used by you, 'free to abide in
pence and in honor'." lie cited
the Committee's; Declaration of
Views filed with the State De-
partment that "we have a spe-
cial concern with the salvation
of suffering people and the pres-
ervation of the Jewish commun-
ity as a spiritual force."
Judge Proskauer's letter em-
phasized that the aid requested
of the State Department to place
the Committee's program before
the peace planners "shall be con-
sistent with our government's
aims."

250 Jews Drown as Nazis
Sink Turkish Refugee Ship

ANKARA (WNS) — More
than 250 Jewish refugees who
were on their way to Istanbul
from Constanta, Romania, per-
ished in the Black Sea last week
when the Turkish refugee schoon-
er Mafkura was sunk by a Ger-
man submarine seven miles off
the coast of Turkey. All but
four of the passengers were
drowned. The Mafkura was
heading for the safety of Ig-
neada, 45 miles from Istanbul,
when she was torpedoed.
Although the torpedoing of the
Mafkura is believed to be the
first act of retaliation by the
Germans against Turkey's break-
ing off of diplomatic relations
with the Reich, there is mount-
ing evidence that the sinking
was but another act of Nazi bru-
tality against Jews. The Maf-
kura was one of several Turkish
ships that was engaged solely in
transporting Jewish ref u g e e s
from Romania to Istanbul and
other ports.
This is the third major dis•
aster to ships carrying Jewish
refugees from Nazi Germany.
When the Struma sank in the
Black Sea in 1942, more than
750 Jews were drowned. In the
same year approximately 200
Jews lost their lives when the
Patria sank off the coast of
Haifa, Palestine.

Comprising Jewish community
leaders from all parts of the
country, the members of the
Committee on Peace Problems
are: Honorary chairman, Abram
I. Elkus and Judge Irving Leh-
man, New York; chairman, Jos-
eph M. Proskauer, N. Y.; asso-
ciate chairmen, Jacob Blaustein,
Baltimore, and George Z. Mada-
lie, N. Y.; secretary, Morris D.

trian, N. Y.;. James H. Becker,

more; Waldo Frank, N. Y.;

In his letter to Mr. Hull,

Judge Proskauer pointed out is happiness.—Udanavarga.
