Seized Nazi Loot Sold to Aid Refugees

40 Are Named
to Masada Board

Outing Scheduled
on Aug. 8 at Rouge

THE EYES of 359,063 base-
I N ball
fans, Sid Gordon of the

New York Giants is the best
third baseman in the National
League.
They said so by casting votes
for Sid in the balloting for
the All-Star teams.
Gordon didn't see action in
the 15th an-
nual contest,
but he did
make the
squad, which
using the fa-
vorite words of
Republican
and Democra-
tic convention
delegates, is a
"distinct hon-
Beckman
or" in itself.
Sid's rise from the bench to
the etnpyrean of stardom this
season has brought him mucn
well-deserved acclaim.
Most cogent testimony to the
esteem he has won was pre-
sented at "Sid Gordon Day"
early this month at Ebbets
Field.

A membership meeting of Ma-
sada, young Zionist organization,
this week elected a full slate
of 40 members to the board of
directors.

The session also made planks
for an outing to be held Aug.
8 at Middle Rouge Park. In
addition to sports and refresh-
ments, the affair will feature dis-
cussions on current develop /
ments in Israel.

Silver and gold household articles, jewelry and gems, seized from caches of Nazi
loot in
Germany and Austria and turned over to the International Refugee Organization, have
been
sold in New York for $188,435. IRO will use the money for resettlement of refugees who
survived Nazi persecution. At left, a woman st ending beside a case of silver dishes examines

.OVER 18,700 Brooklyn fans
turned out for the game and
cheered lustily as Sid was given
various gifts, including an auto-
mobile, traveling bag, watch, set
of golf clubs and nylons and
flowers for his wife and- mother
They cheered even louder as
he belted out two home runs.
This is really something when
you consider it is almost hereti-
cal fur a Brooklynite to applaud
against his hometown Dodgers.

Rotblatt Cools Tigers

MARV ROTBLATT's initia!
appearance in a major league
contest was very successful.
Called in to pitch the last
two innings of the first game
of a doubleheader against De-
troit July 4, Rotblatt, former
Illinois star, allowed only one
hit, a single to George Kell.
Eddie Lake, the first batter
he faced, rolled out, as did Dick
Wakefield and Hoot Evers. In
the ninth, Pat Mullin and George
Vico flied out and Bob Swift
grounded out.

Just before leaving for Europe
this summer, Eddie Cantor,
Amirica's beloved comedy-
star, recorded a number of
radio appeals for the 1948
fall campaign of the SOS
(Supplies for Overseas Sur-
vivor s). The transcribed
"spots," with those of other
leading personalities of stage,
screen and radio, will be
used by SOS committees ap-
pealing for canned foods for
Europe's needy Jews. Above,
Cantor points to a typical
SOS sack used in a house-to-
house canvass in Providence,
R.I. SOS supplies supplement
the purchases of the JDC for
its overseas relief programs.
Detroit will conduct a one-
day campaign Nov. 14. (See

NEW YORK (WNS)—Despite
the Quinn-01111Te law, which
took effect July 1, outlawing dis-
crimination by educational insti-
tutions, d8 of New York State's
37 non-sectal ian4 colleges and
universities still ask for informa-
tion in !heir application for ad-
mission blanks as to the appli-
cant's race, religion, color, ances-
try or.national origin, it was re-
vealed in a survey by the Ameri-
can Jewish Congress.
Leo Pfeffer acting director of
the AJC Commission on Law
and Social Action, pointed out
that the presence of such ques-
tions on application blanks does
no , conclusively establish that
the institution is guilty of racial
or religious discrimination. Nev-
ertheless, Pfeffer said, the Presi-
dent's Commission on Higher
Education has reported that "it
can almost be said that the re-
quest for certain information on
t.pplication forms constitutes an
all but prima facie case that
such information is likely to be
used for discriminatory pur-
poses."
Pfeffer said the American Jew-
ish Congress will request the
State Department of Education,
which will administer the Quinn-
Oltiffe law, to rule such ques-
tions illegal.

TRIBUTE WAS also paid to
Gordon by Tony Kaufman, third
base coach for the St. Louis
Cardinals.
Said Kaufman: "I always
thought Jack Lohrke owned the
best arm in the league today,
but Gordon's got him beat.
"What makes Sid's throwing
all the more impressive," Kauf-
man added, "is that he can un-
leash the throw at full speed
without winding up. Most in-
fielders with good arms have to
rear back, wind up and then let
go."
