NEW YORK, (JTA)—A 22-year-old Jewish officer, from
New York, Lt. Abraham Condiotti, who comes from a Se-
phardic Jewish family, was the commander of the first wave
of small assault boats in the invasion landing between Cher-
bourg and Le Havre, while another New York Jew, Robert
Halperin, was one of the first Americans—perhaps the very

An

Eisenhower Story

How the Supreme Commander
Of Invasion Rebuked- Anti-Semites

The Invasion of France recalls
an interesting story about Gen-
eral Dwight D. Eisenhower, su-
preme commander of the Allied
n\Tasiorx forces.
. About a year ago, Quentin
Reynolds, the noted correspon-
dent, reported that General
Eisenhower had asked a group
of newspaper men whether they
listened to the German radio.
"Yes," they replied, and told
Eisenhower that one Nazi com-
mentator said:' "It is typical- of
the Jew Roosevelt to send the
Jew Eisenhower to North
Africa."
The General laughed: "That
reminds me of my brother Mil-
ton, -who works in Washington.
A dowager recently remarked to
him: 'What a wonderful family
the Eisenhowers are . . . one
brother r died at Bataan, one is

the head of the American Army
in Europe, and you have a big
job in Washington. What a pity
you are Jewish.' Madame,' re-
plied Milton Eisenhower, 'What a
pity we are not."
