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 Eights tourists see. Rows and rows of what once had been homes. Empty burned out shells that once housed families. And I met and talked with the ordinary people on the street. It was from them 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.

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.

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.
