Agency for Palestine with the
registration of 10,000 servicemen
and women for settlement fol-
lowing their demobilization, it
was announced by Rabbi James
G. Heller, national chairman of
the United Palestine Appeal.
As the American agency pro-
viding the financial resources for
every phase of the reconstruc-

extensive program of aid in agri-

that has been drawn up to as-

"It can't possibly," insisted

The World's Quaint Villains
Here's another version of a
current story going the rounds
about three of the world's out-
standing villains.
Hitler and Goering decided to
escape, and disguised themselves
—Hitler with a white beard and
a white wig, Goering as a buxom
blond woman. To test their dis-
guise they visited a restaurant
and ordered a meal.
"Thank you, mein Fuhrer,"
said the waitress when Hitler
paid her. Goering explained to
the fidgety Adolf that the girl
had merely used those words in
order to be polite. To make sure
they ordered something else.
This time, Goering paid, and
the waitress said, "Thank you,
Herr Reichsmarshal."
Visably disturbed, the pair
called the waitress back. "How
could you possibly see through
our diguise?" asked Hitler.
"I'm Goebbelsr came the
husky whisper.

To provide the necessary land
for the soldier settlement pro-
gram, the JNF, which is corn-
bined with the Palestine Founda-
tion Fund in the UPA, is plan-
ning to purchase several hun-
dred thousand dunams of land
on which 3,000 families of serv-
icemen are to be established.
Five such land areas acquired
by the Jewish National Fund in
Galilee and in the Jordan Val-
ley are now being developed by
the Palestine Foundation Fund
for a number of the soldier's
settlement units. One of these
will bear the name of Dr. Chaim
Weizmann, president of t h e
Jewish Agency for Palestine and
of the World Zionist Organiza-
tion.
Sons of Last War Vets
Another project t h a t has
aroused wide interest in Pales-
tine is the establishment of a
settlement by Jewish soldiers
who are the sons of veterans of
the first World War. The latter
founded their own cooperative
settlement in Palestine following
their demobilization 25 years ago.
The Jewish Agency for Pales-
tine is granting 200 scholarships
for soldiers who interrupted
their education to enlist.

Einstein-Steinmetz Discovery
On his arrival in this country
from Germany, some years ago,
Albert Einstein was invited to an
unceasing round of dinners given
in his honor by wealthy admir-
ers. Most of these affairs were
intolerably boring to him, but
he attended them all uncomplain-
ingly rather than offend his hosts.
One of the affairs was especially
boresome, and Einstein suddenly
began writing something on a
slip of paper and stealthily pass-
ing it to Dr. Charles. Steinmetz,
who was equally
bored by the
r
proceedings. Several slips of
paper were p^ssed between them
in this way, a2c1 the hostess, see-
ing him from afar, was sure that
they were evolving some great
new mathematical formula. The
dinner finally over, and all the
guests gone, she hurridly picked
up one of the papers from the
floor—to discover to her dismay
that the two renowned guests
had been playing games of tick-
tack-toe to while away the time!

were discussed at a meeting here of the punishment of the war

among the most timely analyses
of the question is "War Crim-
inals: Their Prosecution and
Punishment" by Dr. Sheldon
Glueck, professor' of Criminal
Law and Criminology at Harvard
University.
This volume, which has just
been published by Alfred Knopf,
New York, has special signifi-
cance due to the emphasis it
places on the crimes that were
committed against the Jews by
Nazi Germany. Dr. • Glueck comes
to the following conclusion:

world today, is one in which the
United Nations must present a

Major Source Material
It is no exaggeration to state
that Prof. Glueck's volume ought
to serve as major source ma-
terial for those leaders among
the United Nations who will have
to deal with the violations of
laws of decency by the Axis
powers.
The volume also ought to be
read by students and teachers
alike in order that they may
understand the issues involved in
the present war. Properly under-
stood, Dr. Glueck's evaluation of
these issues ought to lead defi-
nitely toward punishment of the
world's worst criminals.
