increasing the productivity of

by ex-Premier Maurice Duples-
sis to bolster his charge that the
Jews were conspiring in the elec-
tions in Quebec province, was
branded a forgery by Morris
Hart, sole Jewish member of the
Quebec legislature.
In one of his campaign ad-
dresses ex-Premier Duplessis
read a letter which he said was
addressed to Rabbi Schwartz by
"H. L. Raskowitz" of the "Inter-
national Zionist Brotherhood."
Hart shows that "International
Zionist Brotherhood" is a ficti-
tious name, that the address giv-
en for the "Brotherhood" is the
address of the Federation of Jew-
ish Philanthropic Institutions.
An investigation failed to re-
veal any Jew in the Province by
the name of "H. L. Raskowitz."
Duplessis has not replied to the
challenge that he produce the
letter. The ex-Premier used the
letter to support his contention
that the Jews had promised fi-
nancial aid in the elections to all
who would promise to sponsor a
plan for settlement of 100,000
Jews in Quebec.
RALPH SEIGEL
Hitler drove Ralph Beigel out
of Europe, but after five years
he went back. This time he
brought his buddies with him—
members of his division in the
U. S. Army that landed in Italy.
In the fight that followed, Pvt.
Beigel was wounded. He was also
awarded the Order of the Pur-
ple Heart. The decoration and
news of his recovery from his
wounds have just been received
by his parents, Mr. and Mrs.
Martin Beigel of New York,
When Pvt. Beigel came to this
country he turned for advice and
assistance to the National Refu-
gee Service which is financed by
the United Jewish Appeal.

NEW YORK—Declaring that
the present Jewish world tragedy
transcends all past needs, Paul
Baerwald, honorary chairman of
The American Jewish Joint Dis-
tribution Committee, announced
that leaders of American Jewry,
will gather on Sunday, Dec. 5,
at the Commodore Hotel here,
to confer with the officers of the
J. D. C. on the problems of im-
mediate and post-war rescue and
rehabilitation of millions o f
Jewish sufferers from war and
persecution overseas.
The meeting, he said, will pro-
vide for American Jews "a forth-
right answer to their many ques-
tions as to what can be done in
general and how the J. D. C. can
enlarge its services to meet pre-
sent and future needs."
The Joint Distribution Com-
mittee is the major American
agency for relief, emigration and
reconstructive aid to Jews
abroad.
