Urge U.S. Back

Veterans of Two Wars De-

By Danny Raskin
TWO THOUSAND years is a
long time to go back in history
. . . but the Maccabean struggle
of that age produced the spirit
of Hanukah and presents us with
the symbolic realization of the
part played by Jewish boys in
the recent war.
* * *
THEIR FIGHT Was not only to
maintain the democratic ideals
of their fellow' Americans, but
also the preservation of Jewish
principles for which the Macca-
bees fought to preserve . . . The
Maccabees fought in defense of
their altar and the right to wor-
ship God in their own way . .
No tyrannical attempts by their
enemies could halter them.
* *
IT WAS FOR the boys of to-
day to be called upon again to
fight for this cause . . . and it is
for these same fellows to con-
tinue their' battle . . . this time,
without the use of arms, but with
a weapon many times stronger in
this case . . . a sense of realism
so necessary for united efforts
in the Jewish cause!
THE PRESERVATION of the
Jewish people hinged on loss or
defeat by the Maccabees . . . The
countenance of their rights as a
free peoples is at stake today!
. . . No one can absolve themself
of their God-given duty to feel,
"I am a Jew and proud of it!
Whatever the cause be, it is a
common one and I offer my all in
its achievement!"
ATLANTIC CITY, N. J. (JPS)
—A resolution asking U. S. sup-
port for the establishment of a
Jewish State in Palestine was
adopted by the Jewish War Vet-
erans of the U. S. at their 15th
anniversary encampment here.
Veterans of World War II led
the drive to get the resolution
through.
Norman Zellner, a wounded
veteran, who was brought to the
convention from the Atlantic
City Veterans Hospital, was
among the delegates who ad-
dressed the encampment in favor
of the Jewish State resolution.
His plea was backed by Dan
Kaufman, Past National Com-
mander of the JWV, who was
awarded the Congressional Med-
al of Honor, the nation's highest
military award, after World War
I. Maj. Maxwell Cohen, fo Bos-
ton, was elected national com-
mander and Mrs. Alice Gilman,
of Malden, Bass., was named na-
tional president of the women's
auxiliary. Major Cohen is a vet-
eran of both world wars.
Also adopted was a resolution
demanding the impeachment of
Senator Bilbo (D. Miss.) on
grounds that he used the floor of
Congress "to express sentiments
which were un-American and in-
tended to create racial and reli-
gious prejudices," in order "to di-
vide the American people." Oth-
er resolutions adopted urged the
establishment of a permanent

T/5 PHIL TEAL, local lawyer,
is home with a lot of firsts to his
credit . . . Fought with the First
Division .. . his platoon took the
first town in Germany . . . he
was in the first combat team to
make a breakthrough after the
battle of St. Lo . .. his unit was
the first to enter Liege, Belgium
. . . he was the first man in his
platoon to kill a German . . . and
it was the first shot he fired over-
seas.
Along with another buddy, Phil
holds one of the shortest prisoner
of war records . . . three hours
. . . It happened after the Amer-
icans had taken a hill in the
Hurtgen Forest . . . He was a
platoon runner at the time and
was with a medical aid man when
the Nazis came up the hill in a
dawn counter-attack . . . Both
were• taken prisoners . . . until
the fighting was over . • . Their
G. I. buddies took good care of
the situation . . . When the shoot-
ing had ceased, the only Germans
alive were the few yelling, "Kam-
erad!" and waving everything
that looked white to them.
Phil was shoved into the infan-
try when Normandy was invaded
and received bayonet wounds in
the Hurtgen Forest . . Refused
a job as civilian lawyer with the
War- Crimes Commission because,

already! Enough is enough!"

President Truman, in a mess-
age to the convention, paid tri-
bute to the "patriotic services
rendered by our citizens of Jew-
ish faith" and emphasized that
he considers the Jewish War
Veterans "the living answer to
those who would confuse our
people with the evil doctrines of
bigotry and hatred." The Presi-
dent expressed his hope that the
Jewish War Veterans "will grow
in strength, so that together with
other responsible veterans' organ-
izations, it can render maximum
service to our fighting men as
they return to peaceful pursuits."

THE STRUGGLE of the Mac
cabees is the struggle of the Jews
of today .. . and it is the privi
lege of every youth to be a mod
ern Judah and lead the way.
* * *
DURING THE many many
years since the Maccabean strug-
gle, the Jewish people have often
been threatened with extinction.
More often the threat has not
been to wipe them out but to
disgrace them and degrade their
souls . . . Each time, some small
group has stretched its hands
toward unaccustomed tools, and,
urged by the impulse which turn-
ed salesmen, professional men,
business men and others into an
army, changed themselves to
meet the threatening emergency.
AS LONG as Jews are sincere
and loyal, the light of Judaism,
will not dim. It is for youth to
lead the way! * *
