:ierver on the vast problems fac-

Achieved Fame in 1939
Former European correspond-
ent for International News Serv-
ice, Brown achieved fame in 1939
with a world beat on the death of
Pope Pius XI. In 1940, with a
series of international radio
broadcasts from Rome for the
Columbia Broadcasting System,
he ran into serious trouble with
the Mussolini censors and was ex-
pelled from Italy. His expulsion
came just in time for him to wit-
ness the Nazi invasion of Yugo-
slavia, during which he was cap-
tured by the Germans and later
released.
After assignment to Cairo as
CBS correspondent, to cover the
Syrian campaigns, Mr. Brown was
sent to the Far East. His radio
reporting from that theater
brought two journalistic awards;
the Overseas Press Club's prize
for radio reporting and the award
of Sigma Delta Chi, national jour-
nalism fraternity, for the best
news reporting of 1941.
Aboard Torpedoed Ship
Mr. Brown was aboard the
British battleship Repulse when
that warship was torpedoed by
Japanese aircraft and witnessed
her sinking and that of the HMS
Prince of Wales. His story, re-
ported from Singapore by radio
Leveral hours later, made journal-
istic history.
After this feat, he stayed on in
Singapore where his broadcasts
or the progress of the war
brought him into conflict with
British censorship. The British
felt that his broadcasts, though
factual and true, ‘vere too "pessi-
mistic."
When the British banned his
broadcasts, he went to the Neth-
erlands East Indies and was there
during much of the fighting
against the Japanese.
Mr, Brown is now a regular
commentator for the Mutual
Broadcasting System and is a fre-
quent contributor to the nation's
leading magazines. His wide ex-
perience in Europe, the Middle
East and the Orient especially
qualifies him as an analyst of
Jewish distress in these sections
of the world.
Palestine Mandate
Transfer Urged
LONDON, March 15 (JTA)—
Transfer of the Palestine Man-
date •from Britain to the United
Nations Organization is urged by
the Soviet trade union publica-
tion, "Trud," the Moscow radio
said today'. The newspaper de-
clared:
"British Foreign Secretary Bev-
in's statement that a decision on
the future status of Palestine
would have to await the results
of the Anglo-American Commis-
sion of Inquiry satisfied only a
few people at the UNO Assem-
bly. Surely the appointment of a
commission from two countries
does not exempt the British Gov-
ernment from transferring Pales-
tine to the UNO," Trud concluded.
UHS Pupils Begin
Study of Passover
According to tradition, the
study of a holiday is to precede it
by 30 days. This tradition is fol-
:o wed in the United Hebrew
Schools in connection with Pass-
over.
The study is not limited to the
history, laws and regulations of
the holiday, but it includes the
study of that portion of Chumosh
which deals with Passover, the
learning of the Haggadah and
everything pertaining to Pesach.
The Hebrew Schools are pre-
paring to accommodate new pu-
pils during this period. The pe-
riod of Passover has always been
known as a Be'n-Hazmanim, a
period when pupils were admit-
ted to the various places of learn-
ing. Classes for beginners will be
open in every branch of the Unit-
ed Hebrew Schools. Accommoda-
tions also will be made for more
advanced pupils.
