by Justice Robert H. Jackson
Warren Rovetch, Wayne Uni-
versity student who was honored
by being selected as one of the
American delegates to the Inter-
national Student Congress held in
Prague, CZechslovakia, has for-
warded a report on his tour de-
scribing his • experiences on his
travels abroad and the reactions
of his fellow - delegates to world
conditions.
Mr. Rovetch sent his report to
Mrs. James V. Browne of 1931 Cal-
vert, president of Youth Educa-
tion League, one of the groups
that cooperated in sponsoring his
tour.
In his first report on the Con-
gress and his tour, he states in
part:
"The American delegation sailed
from New York, July 16, on the
S.S. Brazil. The trip was made
doubly interesting by the presence
of Dr. Stephen Wise and his wife.
"We arrived in Southampton on
the 24th. From there to London
and four days of seeing Piccadilly,
Parliament and all the rest of the

housed families. And I met and

I really learned about England. I
think now I am able to under-
stand just a little more about them
--how and why they fought so
gallantly during the war. I am
not talking now about the British
armies. but about the people who
stayed home—during the blitz the
first year of the war—and then
buzz bombs.

streets with open cafes and then
the narrow dirty ones where the

From there the train through
Germany and now Prague. I have

In order to help Jewish carriers

serve the High Holy days, the
Union of Orthodox Jewish Con-
gregations of America has issued
an appeal to send New Year's
greetings as early as possible.
Under no circumstances should
any mail be sent on Wednesday,
Sept. 25, (erev Rosh Hashanah) or
Oct. 4, (erev Yom Kippur).
All New Year cards should be
mailed by Friday. Sept. 20. If
cards are sent after Rosh Hash-

This is the conclusion reached in
the study, "The Nuremberg Trial
and Aggressive War," by Dr. Shel-
don Glueck, professor of criminal
law and criminology at Harvard
University, just published by Al-
fred A. Knopf.
Mr. Justice Robert H. Jackson,
in his foreword to this important
book, concurs with the author's
conclusions and commends Dr.
Glueck's "scholarly research and
persuasive analysis."
Prof. Glueck's study is an indis-
pensable work for all who are in-
terested in the subject and for all
students of international law.
His book, although condensed in

J. L. Meltzer, eminent Jeru-
salem correspondent for Ameri-
can newspapers, relates that the
curfew imposed on Tel Aviv did
not completely dampen the spirit
of the inhabitants, and there was
an exchange of humorous stories.
He tells the following story about .
one of the Tel Avivians:
He was one of the many thou-
sands who craved for a slice of
bread and a drop of cold water.
Two soldiers of the Sixth Air-
borne Division were stationed near
his house. He tried to communi-
cate with them, signalling through
the window, but they paid no at-
tention. If he put his head out.
there was a danger he might be
shot. But during the first two-
hour break, he approached the
