THE JEWISH NEWS
Don't Forget Jews
In the Peace, Plea
Of Prof. Einstein
By HASKELL COHEN
(Copyright, 1946. Jewish Telegraphic
Agency, Inc.)
Makes Appeal at N. Y. Meet-
ing Marking Publication
of Jewish Black Book
NEW YORK (JTA)—A plea to
the nations of the world not to
forget the Jewish people, "who
as an entity has suffered so deep-
ly," particularly when the prob-
lems of the peace are discussed,
was voiced by Prof. Albert Ein-
stein, addressing a huge mass
meeting at Madison Square Gar-
den,
The occasion was the publica-
tion of a Jewish Black Book re-
cording the Nazi crimes against
the Jews in Europe, by the Jew-
ish National Council of Palestine,
the Jewish Anti-Fascist Commit-
- tee of the USSR, the World Jew-
ish Congress and the American
Committee of Jewish writers and
Artists.
"Let justice be done through
the fulfillment of the solemn
pledges concerning the further-
ance of the upbuilding of Pales-
tine," Prof. Einstein pleaded.
"And may all national minorities
be assured, on a supernational
basis, of that degree of protection
which is indispensable for the
preservation of peace."
Prof. Einstein emphasized that
"the protection of human beings
is more important than the sov-
ereignity of states." Pointing out
that in the last decade the Ger-
mans had systematically killed
off about half of the Jewish peo-
ple, and that the facts are pre-
sented to the world in the Black
Book, he charged that all nations
who witnessed "this collapse of
human - conscience" could have
prevented the catastrophe if they
sincerely wished to do so.
Other speakers were Rabbi
Stephen S. Wise, chairman; 'Dr.
Maurice L. Perizweig, head of the
political department of the World
Jewish Congress; Judge Anna M.
Kross; Albert E. Kahn, author of
"Sabotage"; and Reuben Saltz-
man, author and lecturer. Forty-
five cantors from New York's
synagogues chanted prayers for
the Jews exterminated by the
Nazis.
Herman Heads HIAS

Abraham Herman, chairman of
the board of the National Con-
tainer Corporation, has been re-
elected for the 21st time as presi-
dent of the Hebrew Sheltering
a n d Immigrant Aid \ society

- Picking an All-American Jew-
ish basketball team is a hazardous
task at best. To pick an all star
basketball club seems impossible,
but it can be done conceivably
with the help of coaches, writers,
and sportcasters. The J.T.A. has
selected its All-American club
with the aid of a board of ex-
perts including Eddie Gottlieb of
the Philly Sphas, Abe Saperstein
of the Harlem Globe T N..ters, L.
I. U.'s Clair Bee, Ray Mt.,yer; De-
Paul coach, Red Wolfe, former
Spha star and ex-L.I.U. mentor,
and of course the writer.
Our team has height, shooting
ability, and is alert on defense.
Three of the players, Goldsmith,
Boykoff, and Tanenbaum, were
selected by True Magazine's board
of experts for the closest thing re-
sembling an official All-American
squad.
Goldsmith Best Shot
Experts are agreed that Jack
Goldsmith is the best set shot in
the country. His coach Clair' Bee,
avers Jackie is the greatest set
shot of all time. Nat Holman and
Joe Lapchick, famous pros now
coaching in New York, agree with
Bee.
Irwin Alterson at the second
forward berth virtually kept
Cornell in the Ivy League race
all by himself. It was no fault
of his that Dartmouth nipped the
Ithacans in the final game of the
season for the loop title. Irwin
led the league in scoring as he did
last season.
Harry Boykoff at center is not
the player he was before he en-
tered the Army. But—he is still
head and shoulders above his
competitors. Harry specializes in
the pivot shot. Of course, with
his height of 6'9", he is tough
under both the defensive and of-
fensive boards, snaring defensive
rebounds and tapping in team-
mates' miscues. He was second
to Goldsmith, in scoring, in the
Met area.
Tanenbaum Defense Wizard
Sid Tanenbaum, third highest
scorer in New York City, is
pound for pound the best all
around player in the country. Sid
is a play maker, a shooter, and a
wizard on defense.
Chuck Allen, the bespectacled
DePaul University guard, was the
playmaker on the team which
built its offense around the Great
George Mikan. Coach Ray Meyer
says, "Allen is one of the most
underrated players in the mid-
west, his play is so consistent
from game to game that few of
the fans give him a second
thought."
Former Governor HAROLD E.
STASSEN of Minnesota joined
Henry Monsky, president of Bnai
Brith, and Joseph M. Proskauer,
president of the American Jewish
Committee, in opening the 1946
campaign of the Joint Defense
Appeal for $5,000,000 at a dinner
held April 4, at the Hotel Wal-
dorf-Astoria, New York.
Samuel D. Leidesdorf was
chairman of the event.
The Joint Defense Appeal na-
tional goal of $5,000,000, which is
43 per cent. more than the amount
raised last year, is required to
support the expanded programs
of the American Jewish Commit-
tee and the Anti-Defamation
League in combating racial and
religious bigotry.
Bnai Brith Girls Hold

Brith Girls Council will select

The committee includes Alvira
Rothschild, Jeanne Cohen, Mar-
ion Aaron, chairmen: Shirley

ash, publicity; Beverly Levine,

N. Y.—Jerusalem 2 Boys Sentenced
TWA Air Service For Beating Sister
Opens April 25 Of Gestapo Agent
NEW YORK—The dawn of a
new period of American-Palestine
trade cooperation was heralded
with the announcement that
Trans World Airways would
commence its regular New York-
Jerusalem service in April. The
service will be inaugurated with
a flight for the Palestine Eco-
nomic Bureau of the Zionist Or-
ganization of America, 41 E. 42nd
St., New York City, on April 25.
The maiden flight of TWA's Con-
stellation plane will carry a
group of American industrialists
and businessmen on the first post-
war trade tour of the Holy Land.
The tour has been arranged for
30 men by the Palestine Economic
Bureau to demonstrate Palestine's
mounting importance as an eco-
nomic trade center for. the entire
Middle East.
The plane will leave La Guar-
dia Field at New York and is ex-
pected to complete the flight to
Palestine in 36 hours of flying
time. There will be short stop-
overs in Europe and the bureau
is attempting to arrange meet-
ings with representatives of Euro-
pean Jewry and to discuss ways
and means of aiding them. The
cost of the trip by plane will be
about $1,450 (including federal
taxes). In Palestine a tentative
rate of $20 a day will cover all
expenses, including hotels and
trips. The party will spend about
30 days in Palestine returning
about May 27.

FRANKFORT (JTA) — T h e
AMG court here imposed one-
year sentences upon Andor Horo-
witz, 18, and Bei. Blum, 21, Ro-
manian Jewish survivors in con-
centration camps, on charges of
beating Kristenz Diedl, sister of
the Gestapo agent who murdered
Horowitz's father.
Capt. Alan Fraser, acting in-
vestigator, prosecutor and judge,
said he sympathizes with the boys
but "two wrongs don't make .a
right."
The court ignored the testimony
of Blum as passive in the alleged
attack and doubted Horowitz's as-
sertion that the woman hit him
with a washboard. The incident
occurred Feb. 11 when the youths
searching for the Gestapo agent
demanded to know his where-
abouts from his sister.
Kurt Kathe, the defense lawyer,
plans an appeal to the higher
AMG court.
