`Why the Looting

Of Jewish Stores?'

A number of communications
and telephone calls from readers
of The JeWish News ask - the
question:
• "Why did .Negro mobs loOt
Jet, ish stores in Hastings, Oak-
land • Westminster,- Gratiot and
other sections while Negro-own-
ed stores were not touched? The
.riots Av-ere - not a fight 'between
Jews and Negroes. Furthermore,
Jews have always fought for just
rights for the Negro."
Negro leaders, approached to
answer this question, pointed out
that there: - are hoodlum's among
white as well as colored people,
and that the Negroes were inci-
ted to the trouble by the whites.
The question we have just re-
corded is one with which the
committee • on inquiry into the
riots should concern itself.

Plan. Quiz of Anti-Semite
Attending Army School

LONDON (JPS)—Leslie Hore-
Belisha, former British Secretary
.of State for War, was re-elected
by his congregation, The Spanish
and Portuguese Synagogue, to
serve as its representative on the
British Board of Jewish Depu-
ties.
Offered the opportunity to
serve on the Praesidum of the
Board, he declined on the
grounds that his pre-occupation
with British politics prevented
his devotion of sufficient time to
the work required of him.

.0f Marines on Guadalcanal

Pvt: Handelsman, Home on FurlOugh, Describes Treachery
of Enemy in Shooting Parachutists and Hurling
Grenades After Fake Surrender

Clinging to the oft-repeated
saying, "The only. good . Jap is a
dead Jap,'.' and relating his eye- ,
witnessing ac-
counts of their
treachery, Mar-
ine Corps Pvt.
Jay Handelsman,
son of Mrs.
Annie Handels-
man of 2545 Tay=
for Ave., is home
from six months
o f fighting o n
Guadalcanal on
a convalescent J. Handelsman
furlough, after recovering from
malaria fever. He arrived in De-
troit, recently, after resting at a
United Nations base.
Seeing a fellow Marine mach-
Me-gunned while bailing out - of
his plane was only one of the
treacherous acts Jay had the dis-
pleasure of watching. He recalls
the instance when a medical man
went to the aid of a wounded
Jap officer and was fired upon
when the squinty-eyed foe pulled
a gun. Then there was times
when, after raising their arms to
surrender, the Japs would flick
grenades, concealed in their
hands, as the Marines approached.
Attacked by Veterans
When they were attacked at
the Tenaru River, it was by the
Japanese Imperial Marines, the
pick of the Jap forces and veter-
ans of Manchuria, China, Hong
Kong and. Wake Island. Jay re-
lates that they kept coming with
blood-curdling yells and were
wiped out completely. They were
like fanatics, says Jay, not know-
ing enough to retreat or fall back.
According to Jay, the Japs
thought they were invading the
United States when they landed
on Guadalcanal.
On Aug. 7, when the Marines
landed, the Japs took to the
hills and food was still warm on
the tables. =Jay smilingly states
that the huge amount of beer
and Saki, left behind by the flee-
ing Japs, was enjoyed by all.
One Marine, relates Jay, drank a
pint of Saki, the Japanese drink
with a kick which is made with
rice, and started to run off to
lick the whole- Jap army by
himself.
- Break Up Services
The Japs broke up Rosh Hash-
onah services . at which 15. Mar-
ines were attending, "but they
paid for it," says Jay.
Someone established contact
with a Jap pilot, said Jay, who
said that he was once a taxi
driver in Detroit, mentioning the
Book-Cadillac Hotel and East-
v-ood Gardens.
Gets Major's Coat
Jay's souvenirs consisted of an
all-rubber Japanese rain coat,
once worn by a Japanese major,

a Jap rifle, Jap money and some
occupational . notes which the
Japs had planned to use in
Australia. Since foreign arms
were not permitted to be brought
back to the States, Jay sold his
before leaving. He is searching
for a Japanese catalogue in pre-
paration for a buying tour in
Tokio with his Jap money.

by the President of the United

for downing more planes than
any other battery except those
on Malta.
