Mussolini Through,
Ludwig Predicts
Jewish Monthly, published by
Bnai Brith. Dr. Ludwig was in-
terviewed by Edward E. Grusd,
the publication's managing edi-
tor.
The author, in the interview,
warned German refugees on the
danger of returning to Germany
after the war. "There are many
thousands in Germany," he said,
"who are fine, decent people, who
abhor the Nazis' anti-Semitism,
but millions approve of it."

power by the end of this year,

ment made by Emil Ludwig, the

dent of the lodge and chairman
of the membership committee, re-
ports that the membership drive
to honor Bnai Brith's 100th birth-
day is now in full swing. Pisgah
Lodge's quota was set at 850 new

Soviet Warns Against
Hitler Lies on Poles
WASHINGTON; (JPS) — The
Hitlerites "invent some imagin-
ary Jewish `comissars' who al-
legedly participated in the mur-
der of 10,000 Polish officers,"
the Soviet Embassy here points
out in quoting from an editorial
in Pravda, which gives the lie
to the Nazi assertion that 10,000
Polish officers were slain by the
Bolsheviks, a charge which the
Polish Government has asked the
International Red Cross to in-
vestigate.
