Succeeding Hillman
MANY INQUIRERS ask why the
column should be campaigning for
cleanliness in the community and
why the job isn't done by a dele-
gated body of community leaders
. . . A good question, deserving
of an appropriate answer which
we do not have.

SHERMAN
GIT •IS, now a
scenario writer for Republic Pic-
tures, writes from the coast that
all is well . . . Sherman and Mrs.
Gillis (Barbara Selter) are par-
ents of two sons, the more recent
addition to the family having ar-
rived two months ago . . . The
older, Manny, is a trifle past four
and smart as a whip. . . A few
weeks ago, he was being readied
for a tonsillectomy and Barbara
asked him if he was going to be
a. brave boy .. . Little Manny re-
plied, "Yes mommy, Ill be brave;
but I dont want no crying baby
like they gave you at the hospital
•
I want a pup!"

GEORGE DRAPKIN, noted so-
ciety photographer, likes to relate
about the instance when a girl,
who was sitting for a portrait, took
mind to his remark that she look-
ed fine and, in all sincerity, stat-
ed that she had never seen her-
self through the lens of a camera.
. . Before George could say any-
thing, she got up and began walk-
ing over for a looksee. . . . Sud-
denly, her face colored with em-
barassment as she realized her
faux pas and went back to the
seat. . . . The poor. girl didn't
say another word for the re-
mainder of the sitting.
His brother, Jack Drapkin, a for-
mer Army lieutenant with two
purple hearts, is joining George in
his new "'out of this world" ultra
modern studio that will open soon.
. . . Ed Cann, technical advisor
of the Eastman Kodak Co., took
one look at the studio and stated
that It is one of the finest cam-
era and portrait set-ups in the
country, and I've seen just about
all of them."

be has been working hard on mak-
ing, original sketches and draw-
ings for the scenery and publicity.

HEAR YE, HEAR YE! . . . By
the good graces of God and the
undaunted courage of a last re-
sort, we found another 12-inch
double-sided recording of Carmen
Cavallero's "Enlloro" to replace
the disc our friend sat on .. . But
don't get excited . . . We didn't
buy it in Detroit ... With brother
Marvin, we dared enter the same
shop in Sandusky, where the sales-
girl previously had "Only one left."
• . . She finally sold us the "last
orke" just to get us up off our
bendsd knees .. . What is Detroit
coming to when a life-long citizen
with nary a semblance of a pnlice
record has to journey 120 miles to
buy the finest recording on the
market . . . Marvin and your re-
porter will hold. open house for all
unfortunates who can't get the
disc. • •

wood's "glad ta' see ya' " funny
man, Phil Silvers. is even more of
a rib-tickler than he is on stage
. . . and that's saying a lot. . . .
Phil was in town for a day, and
whether it was at late lunch or a
short walk, he always managed
to break an air of seriousness with
a whiff of joviality.
. Asked
if a certain actress was going to
divorce her husband, he replied,
"Of course not. Why, she hardly
knows him." Speaking further
about the actress, he said he has
known her for a long time—"In
fact, since we were the same age."

THOSE PEOPLE who escape
the heat of stuffy apartments by
sitting outdoors during the even-

they sit on, ice-cream wrappers
and refuse from fruit, are the
ones referred to in a letter from
a housewife who writes . . .
live on Pingree between 12th and
14th and for the first time in my
life I am becoming ashamed of
it. People who sit outside at night
leave the ground looking 'like a
tornado had struck, despite warn-
ings by the caretaker of the build-
ing."
WE'RE PROUD of our commun-
ity. Help keep it clean, so that we
may be proud of its appearance.

Pogroms on Dead
BY BERNARD LERNER
The Polish American Congress,
which to the best of our knowl-
edge has not been known to raise
its voice against ghetto-benches
in pre-war . Poland's universities
or against the pogroms under
Polish Governments ever since
1913, published large advertise-
ments in the New York press
blaming the Soviets for the po-
groms in Poland. The Congress
needless to say, opposes the pres-
ent Polish Government. So do the
pogromists in Poland. Which does
not mean, or course, that we
ascribe to the Congress any relaL
tionship with the present. day
Polish-pogromists. But if we recall
correctly, General Haller, notor-,
ious Polish pogromist and at one
time member of the Polish govern-
ment in London, was enthusias-
tically greeted by the Congress on
his arrival here some years past.
Please, gentlemen of the Polish
Congress, don't use Jewish mar-
tyrs as a pawn in your political
game. Stop desecrating our dead
—the martyre of pogroms, in the
traditional Polish pattern,'in Kiel-
ce, Lodz and wherever Jews con-
stitute a majority. You, of the
Polish Congress—we won't permit
pogroms on our dead !

Windsor Jewry Is Roused
Against Palestine Policy
The Jewish community of Wind-
sor has been roused to action
against "hostile" British policy
against the Jewish citizens of
Palestine, in a special four-page
Bulletin published by the Windsor
Jewish Community Council this
month.
This particular Bulletin, printed
as a result of the action of the
British government on June 29 in
arresting leaders of the Jewish
Agency and other prominent Pal-
estinian Jews, appeals to the Jews
of Windsor to make their voices
heard.
It states in part "Windsor is a
small Jewish community, it is true

Honor Jabotinsky's
Memory This Sunday
The Haskarah memorial prayer
will be chanted in a number of
local synagogues in tribute to the
memory of Vladimir Jabotinsky,
founder of the Revisionist Zion-
ist movement, on Sunday; July
28, the 29th day of Tammuz—the
sixth yahrzeit of his death.
. Jabotinsky's Detroit disciples, in
a statement issued this week,
stated:
"Only now, after the unparall-.
eled tragedy which the Jewish
people have suffered, do we recog-
nize the truly prophetic vision of
Jabotinsky.
"It was he who was called, as far
back as 16'37, for the evacuation
of the Jews from Eastern Europe.
But unfortunately his was a voice
in the wilderness.
"Militancy shown by the Yishuv
today, in resisting the dastardly
acts of the British imperialists,
is due to men there who have
learned the teachings of Vladimir
Jabotinsky.
"He was a man of deep religious
convictions and in honoring his
memory today we pay tribute to a
hero and a saintly, faithful soul."

Urguayans Protest Attacks
MONTEVIDEO— ( JTA) —More
—yet it is an important commun-
ity among the many that go to
make the bodies of the Canadian
Jewish Congress and the Canadian
Zionist Organization.
"We are tempted to ask this—
What effect can the opinion of
Windsor's Jewish community
have?'—and it answers 'Take into
consideration, too, the organiza-
tion of the several million Jews in
the U.S., and our co-operation
with them for our mutual benefit,
and we DO have a voice."
On the editorial page of the
Bulletin Rabbi Benjamin Groner
of Windsor lists a seven-point
"Primer for Mr. Bevin" (British
foreign secretary), a restatement
of a few elementary considera-
tions regarding Palestine:
1—The Balfour Declaration still
stands; it has not been negated
either by the Mufti's Nazi loyal-
ties, or by Arab oil concessions.
2—Mr. Bevin's government re-
tains only a mandate over Pales-
tine; the Holy Land is not a co-
lonial outpost of Number 10
Downing St.
3—The Jews in Palestine will
defend themselves against brutal-
ities. Irrespective of the racial ori-
gin of the latter.
4—The only true friendship the
British enjoy in the Middle East
is that of the Jewish people. It
may not, however, be maintained
indefinitely.
5—The Jews in Palestine will
not surrender their arms.
6—One hundred thousand Jews
and 10 times one hundred thou-
sand will enter Palestine, whether
Mr. Bevin wills it or not.
7—The hands of the Jewish
people are clean; what about the
hands that were supposed to cre-
ate a homeland for the Jews in
Palestine?
