Mayors in 300 American Cities Urged to
Ban Race Issue from Political Campaign
NEW YORK (WNS) — The
mayors of 300 cities in the U.S.,
with populations of more than
300,000 persons, were called on
today by the National Conference
of Christians and Jews to issue
a proclamation urging political
leaders in their communities to
ban the injection of racial and
religious issues in the current
campaign.
The conference asked the may-
ors to issue such statements dur-
ing the week of Oct. 8. The May-
or of Baltimore has already
agreed to do so, it was learned.
In a letter to the mayors, the

Rev. Dr. Everett R. Clinchy, Con-
ference president, said:
"The campaign managers of
the two major political parties,
Robert Hannegan and Herbert
Brownell, Jr., on Sept. 14 com-
mitted their parties against the
injection of racial and religious
animosities into the current po-
litica I campaign.
"This was an unprecedented
event in our political history but
it. is essential that the influence
of all American leaders be exert-
ed to keep this campaign free
from hate and bigotry.
"We now turn to you and to
all other members of the U.S.
Conference of Mayors for assist-
ance. We are confident that a
proclamation along these lines
from you to the people of your
city would prove to be . of im-
measurable significance.
if you will do so you will be
making a vital contribution to
the integrity and security of the
American system of government."

Jewish War Veterans
Oppose Immigration Bar
NEW YORK (WNS) — Oppo-
sition to shutting the door to all
immigration was expressed in
resolutions adopted at the 49th
annual encampment of the Jew-
ish War Veterans of the United
States now being held at the
Commodore Hotel. The resolu-
tions ask that this country con-
tinue to offer haven to the peo-
ple of foreign lands "within the
framework of our present immi-
gration law." Another resolu-
tion urged a program of com-
pulsory military training.
President Roosevelt and Gov-
ernor Dewey sent letters to Na-
tional Commander Archie E.
Greenberg paying tribute to the
valor of American Jewry.
DON'T JUST ASK
FOR ASPIRIN
—always ask by name for St. Joseph
Aspirin. You can't buy aspirin that
can do more for you. There's none
faster, none surer, none more depend-
able. And it's the world's largest seller
at ten cents. 36 tablets, 20e; 100 for

The observance of the 18th
annual education month, which
began with the month of Tishri,
will soon come to a close, which
means that the formal observ-
ance will end, but the work which
was begun by the United Hebrew
Schools during this month will
be continued throughout the year.
The gist of this project is to
constantly remind the parents
that they owe their children a
Jewish education — a knowledge
of the fate, the history and the
culture of their people, and the
process of reminding the parents
of their greatest and most sac-
red duty will be continued.
Last Saturday evening, a brief
radio talk, in Yiddish, was de-
livered over Station WJLB, Alt-
man's Hour, by Joseph Haggai,
a member of the staff of the
United Hebrew Schools. The fol-
lowing Sunday morning, Joseph
Colten, an alumnus of the school
and a member of the hoard of
the United Hebrew Schools, was
the speaker.. Saturday evening,
Oct. 14, Solomon Kasdan, prin-
cipal of the Rose Sittig Cohen
Branch of the United Hebrew
Schools, will be the speaker on
Altman's Hour.
The Hebrew Teachers' Organi-
zation of the United Hebrew
Schools is ready with the publi-
cation of a Parent-Teachers' Bul-
letin, in Yiddish and in English.
The bulletin contains a good deal
of information about the schools,
and many excellent articles on
the problem of education of our
children in the United States.
This bulletin will be mailed to
all the members of the schools,
as well as to the parents of pupils
attending the school.
