ed by the Amateur Fencing
League of America, held on May

Fencing team won two honors.
Shirley Schechter was third in
the women's foil competition, and
Edith Bernett came fourth.
Reva Geer, a member of the

cause of illness.

State tournaments as the Center
men's fencing team, are now . in

Dr. Wise had communicated
with Secretary of War Stimson,
calling attention to an order is-
sued by Gen. Giraud, under
which former Jewish commis-
sioned and non-commissioned of-
ficers who were discharged by
Vichy in 1940, were to be drafted
as reserve officers and assigned
to non-combatant labor units, "in
order to prevent all Jews in York.
Algeria from acquiring the status
of combat veterans, thus preju-
dicing the future legal position
which would be granted to them
after the. war."

Secretary McCloy's reply read
in part: "In the Ordinance of
March 14, 1943, general measures
were taken abolishing all racial
discrimination in admission to,
and exercise of, the professions,
and a further order of May 5
stipulates that government em-
ployes and agents whO had been
dismissed because of Their Jewish
origin are to be restored to their
full rights."

ways have existed between Jews

that such a relationship would
be restored in the second.
