Sammy Renick
Makes $3,650

Bulletin

—or Does He?

By MITCHELL TENDLER
ROUNDS for Taking the Gas-
pipe Dept.: A short while ago,
the former Jewish jockey Sammy
Renick paid a visit to the Bel-
mont Park race track.
Sammy's kid brother, Joey, had
a couple of
mounts going
that day. One of
the horses that
Joey was riding
4 was a plater
lame of Orange
• fun who was en-
tered in the
fourth race.
For sentiment-
al, or other reas-
Tendler
sons, which is no
concern of ours anyway, Sammy
plunked in a 50 dollar bill on
Orange Sun. •
When the shouting had died
down, and the "official" sign had
flashed on the tote board, mak-
ing the $147.20 payoff on Orange
Sun legitimate, Sammy toddled
blithely over towards the $50
cashier's window, emptying his
pockets on the way to make room
for the $3,650 to which he was
entitled for the splendid job he
had done in doping out Orange
Sun.

Lt. Eli Levin Post has complet-
ed plans for its annual past com-
manders dinner. The combined
dinner will include the past
auxiliary presidents. The affair
is set for 6 p.m., Oct. 9. at North-
wood Inn. Guest speaker will be
Tony Weitzel. Tickets are $9 per
couple and can be obtained from
Post Commander Harry Mayers.
For information, call UN. 3-9926.

Where, Oh Where—?

SAMMY REACHED THE win-
dow, and inasmuch as there were
only two $50 tickets sold on
Orange Sun in the whole of Bel-
mont Park, he had no line what-
soever to contend with.
With visions of sugar plums and
$3,650 dancing in his head. Sam-
my reached down to where the
ticket was supposed to be, and
whadyouknow? Yup, no ticket.
Sammy reported the matter to
the Belmont Park officials and
since there were only the two $50
tickets sold (the other holder hav-
ing cashed his in and gone by way
of Sandusky long ago), a report
made the rounds that Sammy
would be reimbursed next April
after the books had been tabbed.

• • •

No Tickee, No—

THIS REPORT, however, turn-
ed out to be wishful thinking. Ac-
cording to state tax and treasury
department officials, Sammy will
not receive the $3,650—unless he
can produce the ticket.
So you want to beat the ponies,
hmmmm?

Sid Hitting .295

N. Y. GIANTS third-baseman
Sid Gordon is playing hide-and-
seek with the .300 mark. Sid hit
in the neighborhood of .315 all
year, only to fall into a late-sea-
son slump, dropping to .295.
To top it all, he twisted his
knee and was out for two weeks.
While the teams who are hope-
lessly out of the running are ex-
perimenting for next year, how-
ever, Sid should be able to pick
up the hits needed to bring him
above the coveted .300 mark.

Rotlatt at 7-7

MARV ROTBLATT, the form-
er University of Illinois star left-
hander, has won seven and lost
the same number for the seventh-
place Memphis Chicks of the
Southern Association. He is the
property of the Chicago White
Sox.
Hal Saltzman chalked up his
18th win as against 11 losses for
Portland with a six hit, 6-3 de-
cision over Sacramento, making
him almost a lockup for a 20
P" game season.
Saul Rogovin has now won 14
for Buffalo. lie has lost five.

Aid U.S. Youth 80 Pro-Nazi
in Israeli War Newspapers

WASHINGTON—(WNS)—Two
congressmen are leading the fight
for legislation to aid eight Ameri-
can Jews awaiting trial in Los
Angeles on charges of smuggling
aircraft and military equipment
out of the U.S. to Israel. They
are Rep. Franklin D. Roosevelt.
Jr., New York, and George A.
Smathers, Florida.
Roosevelt and Smathers are
rallying support for a bi-partisan
bill introduced in Congress on
July 26. The bill would grant
amnesty to those who fought in
the Near East or who shipped
arms to the countries affected
by the United Nations arms em-
bargo.
Loss of citizenship may be the
penalty fur allegiance to a foreign
military command while the ship-
ment of arms is a criminal offense.
RESTORE CITIZENSIIIP
The bill provides that those
who served with the Israeli or
Arab armies could regain their
citizenship by taking a naturali-
zation oath. Those who shipped
arms would be relieved from
prosecution. Penalties would be
waived for the time between Sept.
15, 1947 and Jan. 31, 1949.
The proposed immunity period
would not only save the eight
California Jews from prosecution
but would also cover the cases of
Irwin Schindler, New York, and
Charles Winters, a former army
pilot, of Miami.
Winters faces a $10,000 fine and
a long prison term. He has en-
tered an appeal. A plea of guilty
was entered by Schindler and he
received a suspended sentence.
TRIAL IN OFFING
If the amnesty bill is not pass-
ed, the trial of the eight will be
held in Los Angeles on Sept. 27.
Those indicted include Adolph W.
Schwimme•, Abraham J. Levin,
Leon Gardner, William Sosnow,
Herman Greenspun, Ray Selk, J.
Leonard, and Elynor Rudnick.
The defendants are charged in
the main indictment with con-
spiracy to export aircraft and
aircraft parts to Israel without
proper license.

American Rabbis
Number 4,500

NEW YORK—(WNS)—A great
flourishing of faith seems to be
in progress in America. Dr. Harry
S. Linfield of the Jewish Statis-
tical Bureau, which is completing
a Jewish Directory, reveals that
it will list 4,500 Rabbis. In the
last previous census, only 1,751
Rabbis were enumerated.
The directory will list the offi-

Get 'Go' Sign

MUNICH—(WNS)—As a re-
sult of the abolition of the Amer-
ican military government's li-
censing laws, 106 German-lan-
guage newspapers, including
about 80 pro-Nazi ones, are ex-
pected to appear in Bavaria soon.
The pro-Nazi newspapers will re-
tain the names under which they
published during the Hitler re-
gime.
Included among the new news-
paper publishers will be Max
Willmay, who was the publisher
of the Jew-baiting paper "Der
Stuermer," whose editor, Julius
Streicher, was hanged at Nurem-
berg as a war criminal.
Pro-Nazi publishers, it is re-
ported, have organized an asso-
ciation with a capital of two
million marks for the purpose of
driving out of business the more
liberal publishers who have been
licensed by the American mili-
tary government since the war's
end.
The pro-Nazi publications,
which have hitherto been on the
American "black" or "gray" list,
are expected "to revive chauvin-
ism, rabble-rousing, f eeling
against displaced persons, anti-
Semitism and anti-Americanism,"
declared an American military
spokesman.

a gracious note of thanks from

Israel to Start
Reforestation

TEL AVIV — (Special) — A
large-scale reforestation project
to rebuild the barren areas of
Israel is being started, the New
York Times reported.
The plan, which is being
launched under the auspices of
the Jewish Agency by the Jew-
ish National Fund, is designed
to provide a widespread oppor-
tunity for employment of new
im migrants.
The agency also plans to con-
vert most of the immigrants'
camp, into work districts for the

ahle bodied, by the establishment
of industries and citrus groves

nearby.
Those unable to work will be
transferred to other areas in
order to relieve the housing
shortage. It is hoped that by
March of next year all families
and individuals will be living un-
der normal conditions with com-
plete privacy.
