SAUL ROTH, genial gent of
the pedal pounding fraternity. is
back driving a bus after • a bit of
action with the 4th U. S. Cavalry
(mechanized) ... called "Bloody
Joe's Outfit" after their husky
colonel came out of the Norman-
dy landing with his clothes look-
ing like Sad Sack had painted the
wrong house.
SAUL says a bus driver has
many amusing experiences . .
Before going into service, he had
a run which went by a temporary
garbage refuse deposit . A lady
passenger had brought along a
bottle of lavender salts which she
held to her nose . . . As the odor
began getting stronger and
stronger and the coach reached
the heart of the dump, a man
across the isle shouted, "For
God's sake, lady, close that
bottle!"
OH, FOR THE LIFE of a bus
driver . . . The stories they come
across are more precious than the
-head of hair Saul doesn't have to
bother combing anymore.

Reparations Committee OK's
Fund for Rehabilitation
of European Survivors

Notorious Hungarian Gesta-
po Aides Discovered on
lmmigraht Train

JERUSALEM (JTA)—The In-
tergovernmental Committee on
Refugees has decided to allot $25,-
000,000' for the rehabilitation in
Palestine of displaced Jews from'
Europe, it was anounced by Dr.
Bernard Joseph, legal advisor of
..e Jewish Agency. The sum was
made available by the Allied
Reparations Committee.
Dr. Joseph said that the Jewish
Agency considers the $25,000,000
to be only a small fraction of the
reparations due the Jewish peo-
ple for property looted from Jews
in Europe. The Agency is de-
manding all German property in
Palestine as part of the repara-
tions, he revealed. A memoran-
dum to this effect has been sub-
mited to the Allied Reparations
Commission through the Pales-
tine Government, he stated.
Dr. Joseph also disclosed that
private Jewish organizations in
Palestine, such as settlers' associ-
ations of Jews from Germany,
Austria, Czechoslovakia, Poland
and Greece, have undertaken sep-
arate action, supported by . the
Jewish Agency, to secure repara-
tions for Jews in Palestine who
lost their property in the countries
from which they escaped.

BUDAPEST (JTA)—A num-
ber of Zionist officials have been
arrested here in an attempt by
Nazis and members of the anti-
Semitic Arrow-Cross organization
to smuggle themselves out of
Hungary in a train carrying Jews
bound for Palestine.

Torczyner Heads National
Shekel Campaign of ZOA
NEW YORK—Jacques Torczy-
ner, of New. York City, member
of the national 'executive of the
Zionist Organization of America
has been named chairman of the
National Shekel campaign of the
Zionist Organization of America,
Dr. Abba Hillel Silver, president,
anonunced.
Mr. Torczyner, a member of a
distinguished family of Belgian
Zionists, is also secretary of the
Manhattan Zionitt Region.
The Jewish War Veterans of
the United States are giving their
support to the Shekel Campaign
of the Zionist Organization of
America, and are urging every
American Jew to become a
Shekel buyer.

The Zionist Federation here is
not involved, and the train with
the Jewish immigrants was per-
mitted to proceed after some of
the railroad personnel and 14
passengers recognized by intel-
ligence officers as Arrow-Cross
members were arrested.
The Budapest radio made the
charge that the Zionist organiza-
tion in Hungary "is accepting
large bribes in dollars to smuggle
out members of the Arrow-Cross
party" who cooperated with the
Gestapo in deporting Hungarian
Jews to Poland for extermina-
tion.
The broadcast said that when
the intelligence officers stopped
the emigrant train and checked
the identity cards of 235 pas-
sengers, they established that
only 28 of the emigrants were
Zionists, while the others were
either German Nazis or former
members of the Hungarian Ar-
row-Cross organization.
