Pound Hiding Out
in Northern Italy

ROME (JPS) — Ezra Pound,
poet leader in the revival of
American poetry over a quarter
of a century ago, indicted by the
Federal GoVernment on a treason
charge for broadcasting for the'
Fascists, is believed hiding . in
German-occupied northern Italy.
Pound, who lived as an expatri-
ate from his own country for
many years, was .notoriously anti-
Semitic and had been in corre-
spondence with William Dudly
Pelley, convicted Silver Shirt
leader, now on trial for sedition.

Our Letter Box

From the Italian Front
Editor, The Jewish News:

I enjoy every word of the con-
tents of The Jewish News. Read-
ing • about those who have had
babies,' those who have gotten
married and those who are en-
gaged in the fight for liberty
made me feel as if I were back in-
good old Detroit. And I mean
good old Detroit—in 'spite of its
Gerald L. K. Smiths. and Cough-.
lins.
- We here overseas have a great
job on - our hands to' destroy fas-
cism and its intolerance and . are
accomplishing a job.. You at
home have' an equally important
job—to cornbat and expose the
spreaders of. hate. For if we de-
stroy fascism here - and 'return
home to find Coughlins • and
Smiths sowing seeds of hate, this
great sacrifice shall have been in
vain.
To the anti-Semites and to
those who doubt the part played
by our people in this war, I am
proud to -make known the. fact
that Jews are well represented
in our division.' Many of our able
company 'commanders are' Jews.
A good percentage of our boys
have been decorated for valor. In.
the cemeteries among the far-
too-many white crosses the Star
of David is prominently dis-
played.
You may be interested in the
reaction of our men preparing to
go to the lilies. It is just another
incident in their army routine
and they treat it casually. Al-
though there is an_ unmistakable
tension in the air, there doesn't
seem to be a worry in anyone's
mind. They know that they are•
superior to the, enemy and the
whole thing doesn't seem to .phase
them.
