Maurice Aronsson's Hospitality and
Generosity, Are Symbols of His
Devotion to His People

by David Deutsch

STRANGER THAN FICTION
The anti-Administration, Axis-
condoning New York Daily News
reaches 4,000,000 people on Sun-
day and over 2,000,000 daily with
its sabotage—because it makes a
mint of money from the over-
whelmingly Jewish advertisers
who pour wealth into its fat
pages. If these Jews removed
their ads, the News would col-
lnpse like a pricked balloon.
Best example of how brains
adjust themselves to situations is
brainy Max Lerner, professor of
politics at Williams University
and former pacifist,, who is one
of the lecturers in the four-month
course being given by the Army
School of Military Government
at the University of Virginia.
Lerner is making a great con-
tribution to the people's under-
standing what the war's about
... And talking of the war, won-
der how Field Marshal Sir John
Dill, who is in Washington to
represent the British Chiefs of
Staff of the Combined Chiefs of
Staff, feels about a Jewish Army
in Palestine. The famous former
G.O.C. of Palestine, who helped
put down the Arab riots, used
to tell the brass hats and "Col-
onel Blimps" in London he
thought a "reliable" army of
Jews would be a great help in
the Middle East.
Shake the hand of Philadel-
phia's J. David Stern, who, un-
like another Jewish publisher in
New York, accepted the ad of
Birkhead's Friends of Democracy

aurice Aronsson of 2254 Chicago Blvd., reached the age
f Bar Mitzvah last Saturday, the hundreds of men and
omen who came to greet him were welcomed by a cake
