"WH AT'S THE USE?" com-
ment opponents of the Cin-
cinnati Jewish Center.
This statement of futility by
other members of the Queen
City Major AAU league sums
up their respect for the potency
of the Center
quintet.
T h e Jewish
lads have play-
ed 12 games
this season.
They have also
won 12 games
'this season.
Last year the
story was
much the same.

cagers participated in 35 con-
tests. They were winners 34
times.
Such a record is to be ex-
pected from the champions. Vir-
tually every man played in col-
lege circles at one time or an-
other.
Max Wharton, the 6 ft. 4 in.

ne need for a continuing fight to maintain and extend civil
rights for all groups in America,
and the dependence of those rights on the maintenance of free democratic governments in
Western Europe were stressed at a public session concluding the 41st annual meeting of the
American Jewish Committee in New York. Speakers were, left to right, Judge Joseph M.
Proskauer, newly elected to his sixth term as committee president; Attorney General Tom C.
Clark; Gen. Omar N. Bradley, Chief of Staff designate; James B. Carey, secretary-treasurer of
the CM; and Jacob Blaustein, reelected chair nan of the executive committee of the
organization.
Shown at the left are Marek
and Sasha Bitter, with their
son Urich, who have arrived
from Poland in order that Mrs.
Bitter may study nutrition at
the Pratt Institute of Brooklyn
on a one-year scholarship pro-
vided by the National Council
of Jewish Women. When she
returns to Poland, Mrs. Bitter
will organize a school of home
economics.

Ace Brinn, Hal Schneider and
Al Bunis, all erstwhile Univer-

It's news when a team wins
46 out of 47 games. But the big
news will come if and when the
Center aggregation is finally
beaten.

Tenenbaum. Signed
Promoted by District
TEMPERAMENTAL Sidney
Tenenbaum has been signed by
the New York Knickerbockers.
Thus ends much of the tur-
moil and confusion that has
plagued Sid's basketball career
since his graduation from New
York University.
ELIZABETH SHAPIRO,
iary president; Arlene Rhodes,
Ruth Schreiber, Louba Lupiloff
and Rose Cantor represented the
department at the women's pa-
triotic conference on national de-
fense in Washington.

NATIONAL COMMANDER
KLEIN, in a statement, con-
demned British "iniquity in arm-
ing an aggressive majority against
a peace-seeking minority" in Pal-
estine and urged the United
States to press for speedy action
by the Security Council to en-
force peace in the Holy Land and
to lift its embargo on the ship-
ment of arms to the Yishuv's de-
fenders.
Delegates .Rally
tolionist Parley
The former All-American was
barred from the National Bas-
ketball League when he refused
to play for Minneapolis because,
reports said, team owners were
unable to provide an apartment
for him and his wife.
Unger and Cranados
to Address Sessions.
Delegates from all over the
State are rallying to the Mich-
igan Zionist region conference
here, Feb. 15, Saul Gottlieb,
new regional director, has an-
nounced.
Commissioner Piggy Lambert
finally relented, however, and
announced that Sid could play
in the NBL—if he wished.
Tenenbaum was with Jersey
City at the time—but he did
desire to shift to Minneapolis.
To make a long story short,
the Knicks secured his services
from the Minnesota team, much
to Sid's joy, and now the New
Yorker is starring in the old
home town.
EDWARD E. COHN (above),
who for almost nine years
served as field secretary of
District Grand Lodge No. 6,

Gottlieb said.
Discussing the conference and
the Simon Shetzer Memorial
Institute which will conclude
events, Morris M. Jacobs, presi-
dent of the district, said:
It is particularly fitting that
this meeting of Michigan Zion-
ists will conclude with a trib-
ute to the late Simon Shetzer,
for it was he, more than any
other man, who made possible
the growth of the Zionist phil-
osophy in our State.

Lerner Paces Temple
IT'S A GOOD thing for Tem-
ple University that Eddie Lerner
was persuaded to remain in
school rather than try his hand
at professional basketball.
Kentucky, one of the nation's
top teams, will attest to Eddie's
outstanding ability,
It was Lerner who played the
dominant role in Temple's start-
ling 60-59 victory over the
Southerners, a victory which, in-
cidentally was the first of the
year for the visitors.
All Eddie did was rack up 22
points—more than a third of his
team's total.

As the S. S. Sobieski came within sight of the Statute of Lib-
erty recently a son was born to Rabbi and Mrs. Isaak Schwarz,
survivors of Nazi concentration camps, who arrived here with
the aid of United Service for New Americans. Within the
past six months, three other children were born to refugee
couples arriving on the same ship from Italy and France.
The boy was named Samuel. Shown above are Rabbi Schwarz,
