Puzzle: Where
Did Brown Jews of
India Originate?
Magyar Athlete
Accused by Jews
BUDAPEST (WNS) — Charges
that he ordered the torture and
shooting of 150 Jewish prisoners
and upon occasion used Jews as
human footballs were brought
against Franz Binder, an Austrian
soccer player and one-time com-
mander of police at Kiskunhales
labor camp, 80 miles south of Bu-
dapest.
Beni Israel, a tribe of dark-
skinned Jews In present-day Bri-
tish India, have puzzled historians
for years with their strange cus-
toms and their mysterious origin.
Of Indies 25,000 Jews, more than
half are Beni Israel who have
lived in coastal settlements near
Rangoon, Calcutta and Malabar
for over two thousand years.
To explain their presence histo-
rians have advanced several theo-
ries; among others, the ever oc-
curring legend of the Lost Ten
Tribes, and the more plausible
conjecture that they are the de-
scendants of refugees from the
persecution of Antiochus Epipha-
nus of the second century B.C.
Despite their dark complexion
and their primitive religious tra-
ditions, which can be identified
with Judaism only with difficulty,
they claim to be racially pure, a
contention which finds some sup-
port in the circumstances.
They have been considered un-
touchables by the• Hindus and
therefore undesirable for inter-
marriage.
In recent times, because of out-
side influences, the Beni Israel
have made their religious prac-
tices conform to the Sephardic
ritual.
The charges were made by a
number of Jews formerly impris-
oned at a labor camp near the
Austrian border when it was re-
ported that Binder had been ac-
quitted of a charge of massacring
Jews in the labor camp.
At the same time, it was dis-
closed, Hungarian Jews are bit-
terly resentful over the acquittal
and reduction of sentences of per-
sons responsible for the Kunma-
dares pogrom. Lazio Stockier,
president of the Jewish Commu-
nity Council, told members of the
press that the cancellation of the
death sentences places the coun-
try's Jews at the mercy of the
anti-Semitic mobs.
A resolution enfranchising wo-
men over 20 years of age in all
community elections was adopted
by the Budapest Jewish Commu-
nity.
It was also reported that local
police had 'denied a group of so-
cial workers of the Hungarian
Zionist Federation and the Joint
Distribution Committee the right
to hold a meeting here.
There is still plenty of time to
make potato latkes, the tradi-
tional delicacy for Chanukah.
Here is a tried recipe:
6 medium potatoes grated
2 eggs
1 41 cup of flour
1 grated onion
% tsp. salt
Shortening or salad oil.
Squeeze the grated potatoes be-
tween the hands to remove liquid.
Add other Ingredients and mix to
a smooth consistency. Heat the
shortening in a deep frying pan
and drop the batter with a large
spoon forming flat pancakes.
Fry till crisp and brown on ur-
derside before turning with a fork
or pancake turner. When brown
on both sides, lift out and drair
well of excess fat. Serve hot with
applesauce, sour cream, cranberry
sauce or just plain.
For a Chanukah candle salad,
try the following.
Use ripe bananas, cut in half
and place upright on sliced can-
ned pineapple nestled in a bed of
shredded lettuce.
Top each banana point with a
red or orange gumdrop, or a cran•
berry, to represent the flame, ant'
pour a little sweetened mayon-
naise dressing over the tip and let
it run down the sides to repre-
sent melted wax.
League Launches
Scholarship Drive
NEW YORK — Three hundred
women, representatives of the To-
rah Scholarship Fund sponsored
by the National Women's League
of the United Synagogue of Amer-
ica, held their third annual con-
ference and luncheon here inau-
gurating the year's fund drive for
$150,000.
Money will be used to provide
scholar- ships to train rabbis, teach-
ers, community leaders and direc-
tors of youth activities for careers
in American Jewish community
life.
JERUSALEM (Palcor) —An ar.
theological discovery, changing the
entire conception of Jerusalem's
historic boundaries, was made in-
directly in the center of the city
as the result of the government's
requisitioning of Jerusalem's busi-
ness district following attacks las )
summer.
Because of considerable business
losses due to the government's
requisition, a number of mer-
chants sought to establish a new
commercial center in Jerusalem.
Two contractors, one Jew and one
Christian Arab, leased property
from a Syrian Orthodox convent
in the lane leading to the Street
of the Prophets, near the Broad-
casting House.
When digging began on the
property, workers uncovered the
foundation of a tower with a mo-
saic floor and reservoir. The tow-
n is believed by archaeologists of
he Hebrew University to be part
of the third wall of ancient Jeru-
salem where, according to Jose-
ohus Flavius, the "Tower of Pse-
'hinus" was situated, at the
northwestern corner of Jerusalem.
The tower was begun by Herod
Agrippas who halted construction
on Roman orders. According to
Tosephus all parts of the Jewish
Kingdom could be seen from its
turret. The excavation lies in the
heart of new Jerusalem.
2,100 in Reich Fear
Loss of U. S. Visas
BERLIN (WNS)—Increasing un.
-est over the possibility of losing
'heir U. S. visas has been reported
among the 2,100 displaced Jews
.who have been waiting In Bremen
for several months for passage to
the United States. The Jews,
-nany of whom had expected to
Sail in August or September, are
'acing cancellation of their visas
under existing regulations lapsing
all visas not used within four
months after issuance.
The recent shipping strike In
the United States and unforeseen
accidents, it was declared here,
are partially responsible for the
delay.
