I-HAS Convention Asks
U. S. to Rescue Jews

NEW YORK, (JTA)—A reso-
lution appealing to the U. S. gov-
ernment and to the United Na-
tions for rescue of Jews in Eu-
rope was adopted here at the con-
vention of the HIAS Council of
Organizations, held at Hotel Dip-
lomat, and attended by more than
2,000 delegates representing 1,000
Jewish fraternal, religious, labor
and welfare bodies.
The convention was addressed
by Newbold Morris, president of
the New York City Council, who
demanded that the U. S. take the
lead in rescuing Nazi victims.
Other speakers included Abra-
ham Berman, president of HIAS,
John L. Bernstein, Isaac L. Asof-
sky, Judge Jonah J. Goldstein,
Harry Lang, S. Dingel, William
Edlin and D. L. Mekler who re-
ported on the work of the HIAS
and urged support for the $1,000,-
000 campaign being conducted for
its 1944 program. A resolution to
support this drive was adopted.

Kisses for
The Censor

By BEN SAMUEL

(Copyright, 1943, JTA) •

Lt. Seymour Karp, who cen-
sors outgoing mail at an Eighth
Air Force fighter station in Lon-
don, recently received a box of
salt water taffy from Miss Olive
Brooker of Mercerville, N. J.
Lt. Karp did not know any
Miss Olive Brooker, but a note
accompanying the package soon
cleared his clouded brow.
"These kisses," said the note,
"are in appreciation for all the
little holes you've cut in Sgt. Bob
Miller's letters."

Play Depicts Last
20 Minutes Of Nazis

Jewish Center
Activities

A play entitled "The Last
Twenty Minutes of Hitler, Goer-
ing, Goebbels and Himmler" has
been written and copyrighted by
William R. • Schneider, 705 Olive
St., St. Louis, Mo.
The play is based on the thesis
that when the Nazi leaders real-
ize that their end is approaching
they decide to take poison.
The interesting angle in the
play is that Hitler tries to shave
off his moustache and to escape,
but is caught in the act.

By HELEN. ZIGMOND

The movie theaters of Holland,
according to the Netherlands In-
formation , Bureau, are bristling
hot-beds of resistance to the
Nazis. Only German-made or
German-supervised Mins can be
shown, but so "touchy" are the
audiences that the Nazis are
forced to censor their own pro-
grams in order not to spark the
sullen anger into a blaze. The
Rembrandt Theater, one of the
oldest in the city of Amsterdam,
premiered the life of Rembrandt,
depicting him as a Nordic with a
Kaiser Wilhelm moustache. The
picture had a very short run—
the theater was burnt to the
ground . . During the showing
of a film at another theater in
Amsterdam, a ship's bow bear-
ing the name of Orange appear-
ed for a fleeting moment. As one
man the audience rose to sing
the national anthem, "Wilhel-
mus." The house lights went up,
and a flustered manager im-
plored the audience to be quiet.
The picture resumed, but
through an "error" of the pro-
jectionist, the ship's bow again
appeared. For the second time
the audience rose. A Nazi officer
jumped on the stage and de-
manded to know who started the
riot. The people shouted, "The
Jews!"—the last of whom had
been deported to Poland many
months previous.
