"The Port of Precious Possessions" * Weekly Review of the News of the World 237 GRATIOT AVE. * It (Compiled From Cables of Independent Jewish Press Service) AMERICA "The nation being at war, and the ex- igencies of the naval service requiring the full-time effort of all personnel, the grant- ing of leave to personnel of the Jewish faith to permit them to observe the High Holy days and other Jewish holidays can- not consistently be authorized as has cus- tomarily been done in peacetime," it is stated in a circular letter issued by the Navy Department to all ships and stations, in connection with the approaching Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur holidays .. • The following paragraph then says that "commanding officers will, whenever practicable, grant suitable liberty to men of Jewish faith in order that they may attend services in locations nearest their stations." A book recording the good-will mission in America of Prof. Solomon Mikhoels and Lt. Col. Itzik Feffer will be presented to the Soviet Jewish emissaries as "a token of Soviet American friendship," it was announced by Sholem Asch, president of the Committee of Jewish Writers and Ar- tists, sponsors of the delegation's nation- wide tour. Emil Ludwig, noted German Jewish author and member of the ExecutiVe Com- mittee of the Emergency Committee to Save the Jews of Europe, declared in an interview that since self-respecting Jews would not wish to return to a land where they are not wanted, Palestine must be the Jewish haVen_ after the war. He said that it was. his opinion that a plebiscite should be conducted in each European country to determine whether Jewish refugees might return to their native lands. • "The Jews of Great Britain expect American Jewry to take a positive and unequivocal stand in favor of a Jewish Commonwealth in PaleStine," it was de- clared by Mrs. Archibald Silverman, Zion- ist leader, upon her return to this country following a tour of the British Isles in the interest of the Palestine Foundation Fund. PALESTINE The Yishuv observed the fourth -anni- versary of the invasion of Poland by the Nazis, designated as Polish Jewry Day, with various commemorative services.

Our Film Folk By HELEN ZIGMOND (Copyright, 1943, Jewish Telegraphic Agency) When ... and if . . . the bloody Nazis are ever brought before a World Tribunal, Actor Kurt Katch would like to ask Goering and his actress wife, Emmy Son- nemann, one accusing question— one which opens up the whole story of Nazi torture of the Jews. The question Xis: Where is Lelly Corvan? Prior to 1933 Katch was an actor in the Munich Kammer- spiele. He knew Hitler person- ally as a comic rabble - rouser, whom even Goering and his gang didn't take seriously. At that time there was an actress, Emmy Sonneman, whose name was linked with Hitler's before she married Goering. Every summer this Sonnemann used to vacation at a resort at Sulz. She herself couldn't afford this out- ing, but she had a very good friend, a well-to-do Jewish wo- man, Lelly Corvan, who paid the way. Many presents also went from Lelly to Emmy. But in 1933 Lelly Corvan vanished. . . has never been heard from since. Goering had bought the resort . . . and the whole place belonged to Emmy Sonneman, THE LEAST WE CAN DO FOR HIM— OVERSEAS The Nazis have introduced into Den- mark the anti-Jewish laws which prevail in all Nazi-occupied countries and which the Danish government had consistently refused to enact. All Jewish institutions and business enterprises have been closed. The Bucharest Porunki Vromi demands the "eradication" of those Jews who are allegedly continuing to conduct their busi- nesses under the names of their non- Jewish partners. The latter should also be eliminated, the anti-Semitic sheet urges. The sale of "Mein Kampf" in Sweden has been prohibited by order of the gov- ernment. It is reported that the Swedish government has withdrawn 150,000 copies of the book which were in circulation. The Hungarian government has granted permission to Yiddish theatrical groups to give performances in the provincial towns of Hungary. They are -still prohibited from performing in Budapest, hoWever. The works of Jewish artists are among those now on display at the all-Soviet ex- hibition of Russian artists currently being held at Alma-Ata, the capital of Kazak- stan. Algerian Jewish leaders have made arrangements for special Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur services for Jewish soldiers in the Allied forces stationed in North Africa and Sicily. Schechita, the ritual slaughter of ani- mals, which had been prohibited in Italy under the rule of Benito Mussolini, is now permitted '-in the city of Trieste, according to an official statement issued by the Trieste. chief of police. The -American Jewish Conference has received much attention from the German press . and radio. Voelkischer Beobachter declared that the Conference is a "Jewish victory conference," at which Jewish lead- ers have assembled to decide the fate of defeated Germany. The Stockholm Nydag, in an article -by a Latvian Jew, M. Jablinsky, who escaped to Sweden, states that 80,000 Jews were massacred in Latvia. It is reported in Kuibyshev that when the Red Army recaptured Taganrog not a single Jew was found alive in the city. All the Jews who failed to escape from Taganrog were exterminated by the Nazis. . then his wife. So Katch would like to know: Where is Lelly Corvan? And whose money did Goering use to buy the place at Sulz? * * Alexander Granach succeeded as an actor only after he had had his legs broken three times. Born knock-kneed, he couldn't seem to impress European stage directors with the seriousness of his intentions because of those funny knees. He went to a hos- pital . . . submitted to a surgeon breaking his legs three times .. . came out with straight legs after a year of treatment . . . and thenceforth achieved his ambi- tion to be famous in the theater. * * * B. 0. — but colossal: 'In its coast-to-coast premieres at 107 theaters, "This Is the Army" grossed more than one million dollars. The openings on the west coast alone yielded a half million. Which is something be- yond adjectival exclamation — even for Hollywood! * * * Selznick's "Gone With the Wind" has grossed $31,000,000 in the U. S. alone during its four years of exhibition. Has played to 6,000,000 ticket buyers! Its foreign releases have broken all precedent. In London it has run continuously at one theater for four yearsl BROWN & BIGELOW Remembrance Advertising (Reg.
