In Nazi-Held Territories
HOLLAND—
An announcement that all 150,000 Jews in Holland
will be deported to Nazi-occupied territory in Eastern
Europe was made this week over the Nazi radio station
in Amsterdam.
Reports from Holland state that the Dutch popula-
tion there is prepared for the shock of seeing all the
Jews deported from the country. Nazi authorities in
Holland try to lessen the effect of the news about the
forthcoming expulsion of all Jews from the country by
"explaining" that even Dutch "Aryans" will be sent to
Nazi-occupied Russian territory and that a German-
Dutch Colonization Company already has been formed
for that purpose.

court sentenced them to two months' imprisonment.

STOCKHOLM (JTA)—Ridiculing the Nazi racial
theory, the Swedish press this week reports how
Nazi scientists, after taking a blood test of a twin
boy and girl, decided that the boy is half-Jewish and
the girl is "pure Aryan." The twins are 20 years old.
The father of the twins is a Viennese Jew. The
mother is "Aryan". Separated from her Jewish hus-
band, she insisted that the real father of the twins
was a "pure Aryan."

nounced in Parliament this week that he may receive

in the Near East, but indicated that the British Govern-
ment remains opposed to the creation of such an army.

Sharp words were exchanged in the House of Com-
mons this week on the question of alleged anti-Semitism
"in certain units of the 't olish Army", it is reported by
Reuters, leading British news agency.
The question was raised by Miss Eleanore Rathbone,
Independent, during a debate on a measure allowing
the British Government to conscript allied nationals.
"I know that the Polish Premier and Chief of the
Polish Army, Gen Sikorski, has protested against it,"
Miss Rathbone said, stating that "there has been griev-
ous anti-Semitism in some units of the Polish Army,
although not many."
Lord Winterton, Conservative, declared that there
was no truth in Miss Rathbone's assetrion and that she
has shown a great lack of responsibility. Her statement
was calculated to do great mischief, he stated.

"UNDERGROUND" APPEAL
The Polish government also
received a heart-breaking appeal
from the underground movement
Poland asking for adequate
and immediate reprisals by the
United States and Britain in or-

of innocent civilians. The appeal
also demands that the Vatican

the nations under German dom-
ination.
The Polish National Council

national law will be applied for
the barbarities which the Nazis

Many Well Trained Refu-

Here, He Points Out
In a statement issued Wed-
nesday, Fred M. Butzel, presi-
dent of Parkside Hospital and
one of Michigan's outstanding
community leaders, condemned
in strong terms the action of the
State Board of Registration in
refusing to waive citizenship re-
quirements for refugee physi-
cians who wish to practice in
Michigan.
Mr. Butzel pointed to the
shortage of doctors, to the cut-
ting of hospital staffs all over
the country by 50 per cent and
to the desperate need for
medical practitioners throughout
the land. He called the action of
the State Board of Registration
a sad commentary on our
humanity and democratic prin-
ciples in the present hour of
national crisis and the battle
against Hitlerism.
Emphasis was placed by Mr.
Butzel on the presence in Mich-
igan of many experienced and
well-trained physicians who are
refugees and who could step into
service immediately.
