IRVING W. BLUMBERG

Rabbi Sam Cohen Dies;
Well Known in Detroit

across Bernard Shapiro, the in-
ternationally famous 'Orientalist
and Bible critic, one of many
hundr e d s daily beleaguering
these offices for Palestine im-
migration permits. :With the
British White Paper still in ef-
fect, the Jewish Agency has a
limited number of certificates
still available. These are reserv-
ed for younger people. But the
venerable scholar would hear of
no deferment. "If I'm 'not in-
cluded in the next transport to
Palestine, I shall make my way
by foot to the homeland," he
said.
He is working, at present, in
the Bibliotheque Nationale here.
Although he has lived in Paris
for 40 years, Dr. Shapiro was
interned by the Nazis almost
from the first day of their oc-
cupation, and moved from camp
to camp, which undermined his
health. His only son has never
been seen since the Nazis snatch-
ed him; his private collection of
masterpieces was transported to
the Reich and remains unlocated
to date. Bernard Shapiro was the
founder of the famous Jewish
Museum in Cairo and was a
candidate for a professorship at
the Hebrew University at Jeru-
salem in 1939, when the war
severed his contact with the out-
side world.

The new edition of "Fighting
For America," ' published by the
National Jewish Welfare Board,
makes available in book form
the story ° of Jewish participa-
tion in this war from the time
of the Italian campaign to the
invasion of France.
The book is a sequel to the
first edition published in 1943.
Recounting the sometimes thrill-
ing and always asborbing story
of the part played by American
Jewish citizens in liberating the
continent of Europe and forging
ever closer to the homeland of
Japan, "Fighting _ For America"
affords glimpses of the most
dramatic exploits of infantry-
men, marines, seamen and air-
men of Jewish faith.
The excellent text is enhanc-
ed by a section devoted to photo-
graphs of American Jews in the
armed forces — pictures gleaned
from every part of the world.
Adding to the volurn
s e's value
as a reference work Part II con-
tains long lists of those decorated
for valor and those killed and
wounded in action. These lists
are not complete. They repre-
sent the names of those Jewish
servicemen and women whose
records have been fully' authen-
ticated and recorded by the Bu-
reau of War Records. A com-
plete record will not be avail-
able until the Bureau has com-
pleted its work, which will prob-
ably be some time in 1946.
The statistical chapter also dis-
closed that more than half of the
rabbis in America have volun-
teered their service to the chap-
laincy, and that as of October,

1944, there were 262 Jewish chap-
lains in service, 109 of them
were serving with troops over-
seas, 40 in the Navy and Marine
Corps, 221 in the Army and one
in the Maritime Service. Six
Jewish chaplains have died in
service and their stories, as well
as the moving accounts of the
experiences of many other chap-
pains, are told in the chapter de-
voted to the Chaplains Corps.

Any way you look at it, the "New Trend"merits its
name! It's different from any hat you'Ve seen. The
brim is short in front for a youthful look ... wide at
the sides for casual, sweeping flair. The shorter front
snaps easily without obscuring your vision. Come in
and try it on.
