testant faith to the Joint Dis-

ment notified the Paris office of
the American relief agency of
the bequest, made by Mlle. Marie
Louise Wilner-Hofteufel, w h o
died in a sanatorium at Vance
on May 15, 1944. In explaining
her reason for bequeathing her

to leave my fortune for the
aid of these who I feel are
the poorest among the poor
because they are persecuted
for their faith."

Yivo Adopts $200,000
Budget for the Year

NEW YORK (WNS) — The
19th annual conference of the
Yiddish Scientific Institute clos-
ed its three-session here with
the adoption of a $200,000
budget to finance its activities
here and in Europe during th's
year.
Addressing one of the ses-
sions, Jacob Lestchinsky, re-
search secretary of the section
of economics and statistics of
the Yivo, that no more than 3,-
500,000 Jews in Europe have
survived of the 9,500,000 of
1939. Of the 6,000,000 Jews
who perished, he said, 5,000,000
had lived in the countries under
Hitler's domination. He said
about 60 per cent of the Jews
in the German-occupied areas
had been killed and that the vic-
tims constituted the most vital
part of the Jewish people.
A report of the research work
of the Yivo was presented by
Dr. Shlomo Noble, assistant re-
search director. He pointed out
that over 1,000 pages of printed
material was issued during the
year, including the second vol-
ume of the "History of the Jew-
ish Labor Movement in the

' More Revisionists
Kidnaped in Palestine

JERUSALEM (WNS) — The
kidnaping last week of two mem-
bers of the Revisionist Organiza-
tion by men who invaded their
homes by posing as police offi-
cials, bringing the total abduc-
tions without recent weeks to
seven, is proving a major prob-
lem to the Palestine police who
have so far been unable to un-
cover a motive for the crimes.
The first kidnaping occurred
when Daniel Anowsky, an em-
ployee of the Jerusalem Jewish
Community Council, and an ac-
tive metilber of the Revisionist
Organize Lion, was taken from his
home by three men, two of
whom were disguised as British
policemen.
The second victim was Mor-
dechai Korngold, 17, a member
of the Revisionist Orthodox
Youth Organization. Young Korn-
gold was forced from his home
by a group of three men, all of
whom were dressed as British
policemen.

Music Study Club
Recital A Success

Miss Eugenic Fichtenova, a
most talented violinist, was pre-
sented in a recital Wednesday
night at the Detroit Institute of
Arts by the Music Study Club
of Detroit. She showed a rare
quality of strength which was
almost masculine in her perform-
ance. Her technical command of
the violin was that of a well-
seasoned artist.
The program Miss Fichtenova
presented was a most difficult
one and called for all of the re-
sources of the violin for its per-
formance. A well attended audi-
ence showed their appreciation
by continued applause, in re-
sponse to which Miss Fichtenova
responded with three encores.
Included in the varied program
was the "Nigun" by Ernest Bloch,
reflecting the spirit of Jewish
lamentation and ritual song in
its composition.
The Music Study Club wishe.,
to thank the many patrons
whose response helped make the
concert an outstanding success.
The net proceeds will be divided
between the Sylvia Simons Mem-
orial Scholarship Fund and many
other wartime activities.
