Kressman Taylor, whose "Ad-
dress Unknown" you will remem-
ber as having made short story
history a couple of years ago,
has just published a new novel
which tells of the underground
anti-Hitler fight of German
churchmen . . . Mrs. Taylor ex-
plains that the main episodes in
her book are based on actual
events, fictionized for the protec-
tion of the protagonists.
JEWISH NEWS
Don't miss next week's news-
reel feature about the Jewish
Army . . . It's in the form of a
debate between Pierre van Paa-
ssen. national chairman of the
Committee for a Jewish Army of
stateless and Palestinian Jews,
and Stanley High, one of the edi-
tors of Readers Digest . . High
snaps at the plan very aggressive-
ly, but Van Paassen, in a dis-
pasionate and convincing tone,
appeals for justice for the most
persecuted of Hitler's foes.
This fall's , Zionist Convention
may provide an unexpected bat-
tle between the old guard and
the present administration.

Fred A. Ginsburg, long promi-

most active and enthusiastic mem-
bers of the Detroit Committee
for the Chaim Weizmann Re-
search Foundation. Abraham
Cooper, chairman of the local
committee, attributes much of the
interest and support of this pro-
ject to the personal efforts of
Ginsburg, who has devoted a con-
siderable portion of his time to
this work.

WASHINGTON NOTES
Credit for discovering Franklin
D. Roosevelt is now given in
Washington to Herbert Bayard
Swope . . . In 1912, after Wood-
row Wilson was elected, Swope
traveled with him, as political
correspondent, on a tour over
New York State . . . Wilson
asked Swope to recommend a
progressive for appointment in
his administration . . . It was no
easy matter to find a progressive
Democrat, but Swope looked
around and found "a young fel-
low named Roosevelt" . . . "All
right," said Wilson, and appoint-
ed Roosevelt to the post of As-
sistant Secretary of the Navy.

between the Zionists and non-
