Orders Ban
on Proposal in Chicago
Superintendent
Despite Endorsement
CHICAGO (JPS)—A plan for
combatting anti-S e m i t i s-rn in
Chicago public schools has been-
abandoned, despite endorsement
by leading organizations, by or-
der of William. H. Johnson, su-
perintendent of schools. -
The plan was proposed by L.
Day Perry, principal of the Van
Steuben High, following a beat-.
ing administered to Jewish stu-
dents from his school by students
of the Amundsen High. He had
obtained the support of the prin-
cipals of eight other high schools,
,a committee of representatives
of Jewish organizations, the
Chicago Sun, and Ira-Latimer of
the Civil • Liberties Union who
proposed that the plan embrace
the entire school system.
Proposal Abandoned
But at the first meeting of the
eight principals, Mr. Perry's
plan was discarded for a "good
sportirnanship" program, on or-
ders of Johnson, who was repre
sented at the meeting by John
W. Bell, .superintendent of Dis-
trict 1. `•
The Chicago Regional Com-
mittee of the "Protestant" maga-
zine, made public a letter to
Mayor .Kelly and school author-
ities in which 22 protestant min-•
isters charged that anti-semitism
is wide-spread in the schools.
The signers of the letter urged
the..Chicago 'Board of Education
to inaugurate the teaching of
religious and racial equality. •
Strong opposition is develop-
ing to a bill soon to be introduc-
ed in - the Illinbis Legislature'
providing "release time for re-
ligious education in 'the public
schools.
Dangerous Diirisive Force -
Mrs. Walter Heineman, mem-
ber of the' Chicago Board of
Education, declared - that religi-
ous education in the pUblic -
schools would become a- danger-
ous divisive force in the educa-
tion of school children.
The Rev. Claude Williams of
Detroit is organizing, in co-oper-
ation with many local clergy-.,
men and labor leaders, a Chic-
age Council of. Applied -.Religion,
an inter-ratial and inter=denom-
inational organization* "to sup-

Food Transport
Reaches Lublin
$ I ,250,000 Raised'
LUBLIN (JTA)--:--The first
transport of supplies for Jews in
liberated Poland arrived here the
week of Feb:---12 from Palestine.
The Central Jewish Committee,
which will distribute the sup-
plies among Jews freed- from
German 'camps in the liberated
areas, acknowledged the arrival
of the transport by wiring a mes-
sage of thanks to Jewish leaders
in. Jerusalem.
Broadcasting over the Lublin
radio, a Jewish partisan leader,
Avrom Abel Berman, disclosed
that Jewish underground groups
in Poland fought the Germans for
more than three years, with
varying - success:
This group disintegrated after
its , leaders were captured and
murdered, but its units formed
the basis for a new fighting or-
ganization established under the
aegis of the Jewish National
Committee, which compriSed the
Democrats, Zionists and SoCtal-
ists. When it became clear that
Hitler planned to exterminate all
the Jews, hundreds of recruits
flocked to join . the partisans.
More than 100. units were formed
in Warsaw alone, and many in
the provincial cities.
The Pioneer Women's Organ-
ization raised over $1,250,000 in
the past two and a half years
since its last national conven-
tion, it was repOrted by 'Miss
Dvorah. Rothbard, National Sec-
