Improved Situation
The improved employment
situation and severe restrictions
on travel have reduced the clien-
tele of the House of Shelter to
neglible proportions. In line
with these changed conditions,
the House of Shelter modified
its program without, however,
diminishing its traditional serv-
ices to homeless and transient
men.
Under the new policies, meals
are no longer served at the in-
stiution. Instead meal tickets
are issued to men for use at a
Jewish restaurant. Lodging con-
tinues to be available at the
House the same as previously.
For men who must have Kosher
food, special arrangements are
made in private homes observ-
ing the dietary laws.
Maintain Program
The House of Shelter will
continue to maintain its old pro-
gram of feeding and housing
homeless men as well as pro-
viding meals for Jewish prison-
ers during Passover week and
on the high holy days period.

The adoption of this program
will bring about a saving of
more than 50 per cent to the
Allied Jewish Campaign which
supports the House of Shelter.
At, the same time it will keep
the institution intact and make
it possible to expand the serv-
ices quickly should post-war
conditions require it.

NEW YORK (JPS) — Patrol-
man James J. Drew, admitted
friend of pro-Nazi rabble-rouser
Joe McWilliams, was cleared of
charges that he had improper
dealings with persons engaged in
un-American activities by Police
Commissioner Lewis J. Valentine.
A verdict of guilty would have
meant the patrolman's dismissal.
Patrolman Drew's exoneration by
the Police Commissioner aroused
the ire of New York City Investi-
g.:.tion Commissioner William B.
Herlands, who described it • as a
"major defeat on the home
front."
Patrolman Drew, whose beat is
a Jewish section in Brooklyn, was
suspended from duty last May
following a lengthy report from
Mr. Herlands charging him with
"un-American" associations. The
Commissioner's report charged
that James Drew had contributed
funds to at least four organiza-
tions which were under Federal
indictment for seditious activi-
ties. The report also charged that
he had contributed to the defense
funds of three persons indicted
by a Federal Grand Jury on
charges of criminal sedition, and
had had "improper dealings"
with a person awaiting trial in a
criminal seditio'n case. Herlands
named "small-time Nazi" Joe Mc-
Williams as among Drew's associ-
ates.
John Roy Carlson, author of
"Undercover," an expose of Nazi
activities in this country, who
testified at Drew's trial said that
the officer once told him that Hit-
ler was "doing a good job in Eu-
rope." He also testified that Drew
had been distributing copies of
the Protocols of the Elders of
Zion. Drew admitted to Carlson
that he was "unofficially" con-
nected with the Christian Front,
having attended their meetings in
Brooklyn and the Bronx.
Another person mentioned as
an associate of Drew was Col.
Eugene N. Sanctuary, an author
of numerous anti-Semitic tracts.
On hearing the outcome of the
case, Commissioner William B.
Herlands said, "In my opinion the
Police Commissioner's decision is
contrary to the evidence and
sound public policy."
Drew was restored to duty even
before the verdict was rendered
and will receive back pay for the
period of his suspension.
