old Rosen was
a third base-
man with Ok-
lahoma Cit y

ting a lusty
.350 and win-
ning his loop's
most valuable
Beckman
player award.
In the Indians' initial intra-
squad game at Tucson, Ariz.,
recently, Al banged out a triple
and two singles to lead the B's
to a 10-1 victory over the A's.
Later, he hit a long homer and
knocked in two .runs as Cleve-
land outslugged the New York
Giants, 13 to 8.
During the off-season, Rosen
attends the University of Miami.
He now makes his home in
Florida.

"THE RECENT reversal on
Palestine partition by our
own beloved United States was
a cruel blow at the hopes of
the 600,000 Jews of Palestine
and in a sense a betrayal.of the
6,000,000 Jewish martyrs who
died in the death camps of
Hitler," Dr. B. Benedict Glazer
told the 350 women assembled at
the Ladies Auxiliary's communi-
ty relations dessert luncheon,
Monday at Kern's Auditorium.
Speaking on the topic, "Can
the United Nations Keep the
Peace?" Dr. Glazer said if the
United Nations falls down on 4E,
moral obligations, the world IA-
much to fear. IL)
"Weakness does not help us
in the international situation,"
said Dr. Glazer, He added that
he was in complete accord with
the President's /program to have
a strong America, one prepared
to make democratic ideals live.
He believes appeasement of
evil leads to war and that an
international code of moralit,
must be enforced to make the
UN succeed.
Present at the luncheon were
delegates from 25 patriotic and
veterans organizations in Michi-
gan representing over 70,000
women.

Boxing Newcomer

THE JEWISH BOXING circle
has a newcomer who may go a
long way in the puglistic world.
He is Alfred Kohn, 20, who
recently won the 175-pound open
crown in the New York Golden
Gloves.
Kohn, the only Jewish boy to
reach the finals, scored a tourna-
ment record by disposing of four
opponents via the knockout
method.
Al came mighty close to not
winning the title, or, for that
matter, ever - appearing in the
ring. When he was a kid of 11,
he decided to run away from
home. He had a good reason.
There was a bully around
who didn't care much for Jews,
a bully with the power to make
things miserable for Al and his
brethren.
So the bewildered ybungster
escaped from Germany and Hit-
lerism and went to Shanghai.
After a few years there, he came
to the United States.

C'tnon, Hank

a

PAT SEEREY is one man who
is hoping fervently that Hank
Greenberg will sign with Cleve-
land.
The rotund outfielder is con-
fident that Greenberg can cure
him of his "strikeoutitis," which
has hampered an otherwise ex-
emplary baseball career.
"I didn't talk with Hank more
than five minutes," Seerey said,
"but I know that he can teach
me more about hitting in a few
weeks than I've learned in all
my years with the Indians."

Zion Writer Gets
Stolen Car Back
With "Orchids'

TEL-AVIV--One evening re-
cently Shalom Gottlieb, of the
editorial staff of the Tel Aviv
newspaper 'Yedioth Achronoth"
(Latest News), finished his daily
shift and wanted to drive home
for supper.
To his dismay he discovered
that his car had disappeared.
Since Gottlieb is not a irn
who gives up easily, he ins „
an ad in his newspaper, re-
questing the "gentleman who
found it necessary to requisi-
tion"‘ his car to return it as
soon as possible.
The ad said "I am a journa-
list and must have my car to
do my duties."
The following morning, just
as Gottlieb reached his desk, the
phone rang and a pleasant fern-
;nine voice assured him: "Sir,
this is the underground calling .
We are very sorry. We did nol
know that the car belonged to
a newspaperman and we shall
return it at once. Please wail
15 minutes from now at the
Ranah movie house. Your cai
will be parked there."
Just as the pleased journalise
was'about to hang up the youni
lady went on: "May I tell you
that I like very much you
serialized novel which is no
being published by Yedioth-
really can't wait to see wha
happens next to your hero."
