Giants' Property
Throughout Europe, Jews will celebrate the Passover holidays
in scenes similar to the one above in the Rothschild Hospice,
a shelter for transient Jews in France. For Passover, Europe's
Jewish survivors will receive 6,500,000 pounds of matzoh and
other Passover items provided by the Joint Distribution Com-
mittee. The JDC receives its funds from contributions to the
United Jewish Appeal, supported in Detroit by the Allied
Jewish Campaign.
KAUFMANN is also a chattel
of the Giants. He is an infielder
who batted in the astronomical
figures while playing sandlot
ball in his home town, Columbus,
0. Much of his baseball experi-
ence was obtained while in the
army.

Making 4th Bid
LAST BUT NOT least is Isaac-
son, who is making his fourth
bid in organized ball. A member
of the Miami Beach Flamingoes,
Julie, a pitcher, has been hin-
dered by a back injury which
thwarted his three previous
trials. At 22, Isaacson is an "old-
timer" as rookies go. His career
was interrupted by the war, dur-
ing which he served in the mer-
chant marines.
An 11-year-old Jewish boy, shot by an Arab during a recent
attack in Palestine, is carried from the scene. The reversal
of the United States on partition has encouraged attacks from
Arab states resulting in a mounting loss of life. Despite
heavy casualties, the Yishuv keeps right on fighting to build
the Homeland.

This is a member of the Ha-
ganah's Palmach, the striking
force of the Jewish defense
army in Palestine.
