That which has become known as the ruthlessness of the Nazi military machine finds its coun- terpart in the intrigues exposed in the soothsayer's role in Ger- Nazis' Soothsayer, Feuchfwanger's Novel Is a Brilliant Explanation of Hit- lerite Witches' Revel The famous two lines from Shakespeare's "Macbeth" "Double, double toil and trouble; Fire burn and cauldron bubble." served to inspire the title for Lion Feuchtwanger's recent novel, "Double, Double Toil and Troub- le,' recently published by the :Viking Press. This is another of the magnifi- cent Feuchtwangerian searches into the basis causes of the evils which dominate the world today. In this stirring novel, Mr. Feuchtwanger exposes the ma- chinations of the soothsayer, the powerful Zauberer, as the novel was entitled in the original Ger- man, who dominated the life of Hitler. It is aparent that the magician in the novel—Oscar Lautensack- may have been a very real per- son who influenced Hitler's life. LION FEUCHTWANGER The soothsayer and magician played an important role in many, It is a story which adds Nazism, and the Feuchtwanger evidence in condemnation of the novel therefore assumes consid- cruel Nazi machine. erable importance as a revelation Naturally, the Jew is cne of the victims of the soothsayer, as he is of all other elements in the Nazi state of terror.

HaPoel HaMizrachi Social Wednesday Eve Samaritans Pray For Rescue of Jews Detroit chapter of HaPoel Ha- Mizrachi will begin its fall activi- ties with a social get-together next Wednesday, at 9 p. m., at River Rouge Park. Members, friends and sympathizers with the movement will meet at the bath house and then proceed as a group to the social. HaPoel HaMizrachi is a world- wide organization connected with the League for Religious Labor in Palestine. The organization now maintains over 30 settle- ments of workers who conduct their life in accordance with the letter and spirit of Jewish tradi- tions. Allies Have No Plans For Homeless, Charge NEW YORK (JPS)—Pointing out that at the recent London meeting of the Intergovernment- al Committee on Refugees "the word Jew was seldom heard and the word Palestine never," Lewis S. Gannett, cabling from London to The Nation, liberal weekly, calls for specific action in behalf of "possibly a million Jews" who will still be homeless at the end of the war. Reporting that for the first six months after hostilities cease the army will be in charge of re- patriation, and for the next six months, the UNRRA will take over, and that the Intergovern- mental Committee will step in on the third phase, to deal with the stateless persons, Mr. Gan- nett says that none of these ag- encies deal with Jews as a sep- arate problem. "His eternal bliss. He needed a beautiful word. a noble thought, for the hour when he would be gathered to his fathers. Which fathers? His Jewish or his pagan fathers? Those who lay around on bearskins and were always having one more drink, or those who had written the Psalms and -the Sermon on the Mount? The Jews had a beautiful phrase for the hour of death. For two thousand five hundred years they had cried out on their death beds, "Shema Yisraelhe Eternal is one," and for him, Paul, P the confession of faith had always meant: the Idea is one and indivisible and permits no compromise. That wouldn't be such a bad last word. . `"So I have a choice,' he thought. 'I have freedom of choice.' Freedom, freedom. I can put my head in the noose myself, or others will put it there. Freedom. 'Proclaim liberty throughout the land.' That was from the Bible again. It had a revolution- ary ring. He had been delighted when. in his second year at the University, he had done a little work in Hebrew and had come across that sentence. `Dror,' was the word for freedom in that passage. It was feally a trumpet- call of freedom, Deroorr. It rolled and thundered. One could actually hear the trumpets resound." "Double, Double Toil a n d Trouble' deserves a large circu- lation. It is not only an expose, but also an augury: for just as the soothsayer in this novel died a deserved death so it becomes evident that all of Nazism will soon meet its doom. rage Twenfy-seven JERUSALEM (JPS-Palor) — The gulf that has separated them for centuries was somewhat bridged when the small surviving Samaritan Community at Nablus and representatives of Jewish Palestine joined in prayer for the salvation of the Jews perish- ing in the Nazi-occupied terri- tories. The prayers were offered- at a special function for the Samari- tans arranged by the Associa- tion . of the Sons of Jewish Palestine under the chairman- ship of Dr. Israel ben Zeev, who surveyed the history of the Samaritan Community, pointing out that they were pure Israel- . ites from the seed of Joseph and the tribes of Levi, Ephraim and Menasseh, and that their law was the Law of Moses. Yaacov Ben Uzzi Hacohen,. a Samaritan notable, replying in Hebrew, appealed to "the chosen representatives of the Jewish people" at Jerusalem to save the Samaritan Community, to- talling 258 individuals, from na- tional 'and spiritual extinction. He stated that since the closing of the special school for the Sa- maritans, which the National Council (Vaad Leumi) had es- tablished at Nablus in 1921, most of their children attend Moslem and Christian schools, and sixty children do not receive any schooling at all. At the close of the meeting, the participants—Samaritans and Jews—prayed in unison for the salvation of the Jews in the Dia- spora, and the Samaritan High Priest Avishai ben Pinchos ben Eliezer ben Aaron Hacohen, who claims to trace his lineage from Aaron Hacohen, founder of bib- lical Jewish priesthood, read the Ten Commandments from an an- cient Samaritan Pentateuch.
