I Hebrew Critic, Chaplain
I Receive Ussishkin Prize

Taft Doesn't Like Smith

Senator Robert Taft, candidate for tenancy in the White House
at Washington, is very unhappy about the endorsement he got from
Gerald L. K. Smith, the notorious anti-Semite ... Writes the Senator:
"I'm told that I have been called 'a very fine man and a courageous
statesman' by that person . . I do not reciprocate these sentiments
and do not welcome approval from that source" . .. Senator Taft's
statement deserves wide publicity, to which we are glad to con-
tribute our bit.

The Score

According to official Jewish statistics, 42 Jews, 81 Britons and
59 Arabs have fallen at the hands of the Irgun in the eight months
from August, 1946, to March, 1947 . . . Commenting on this, the
Hebrew daily Davar of Palestine writes: "42 Jews have been killed
in eight months . . . They were not murdered by Nazis nor by
'goyim' but by Jews in Eretz Israel, at the hands of Jewish boys
and girls Are we descending to such great depths?"

Miscellany
A book of Jewish heroes is in preparation ... It will present the
full story of Jewish anti-Fascist underground fighters in World War

It is not true that the film version of "Gentlemen's Agreement"
will underplay the anti-Semitic theme .. . We're informed that the
movie script is stronger than the book.
Maurice Schwartz, the eminent Jewish actor, is busily trying
to organize an international Yiddish Art Theater, which would play
in all the large cities of the world.
Dr. Weizmann's visit to this country, originally set for this Sep-
tember, will be postponed to 1948.
You haven't heard much about Pierre van Passen in the last
few months because he is writing a new book, his first novel.
There's a possibility that the Moscow Jewish State Theater will
make an American tour, starring Solomon Michoels in "King Lear."
"The Voice of Fighting Zion," Irgun's broadcasting station in
Palestine, has launched a ruthless campaign against Dr. Weizmann
. . . So violent is the language that is being used that the Haganah
now insists on providing a strong bodyguard for the Zionist leader.
The World Jewish Congress reports donations to its treasury in
memory of Bronislaw Huberman, the great violinist and conductor
. . . People who knew Huberman are aware that he cherished the
work of the World Jewish Congress above all.

True Story Behind the Exodus

Stop O'Donnell

John O'Donnell, of Patton incident fame. rides again . . . He's
brand;shing the torch of prej'udice with zest and gusto . . . You'll
remember that a few columns ago we called your attention to an
O'Donnell column about a forthcoming Roosevelt film . . . On that
occasion initiated and executed by Jewish big shots of Washington
... This time, as of August 15, Mr. O'Donnell "takes apart•' the case
of William Dudley Pelley, the notorious anti-Semite ... But to good
old John of the Daily News Polley is "probably the best-known of
publishers sent to jail in World War II," and all that is wrong with
Pelley is that he is "a ranting opponent of Moscow, Franklin D.
Rooseveit -and Jews" . . . Well, well, isn't that smartly put . . . So
many people hate Moscow and Roosevelt and Jews—so why was
good old Pelley, that distinguished publisher. put in jail for hating
what most of "us" hate? .. ;That is the tone of O'Donnell's apologia
for one of America's most notorious hate peddlers . . . And don't
think that O'Donnel's defense of Pelley was just one of those abbera-
tions that the best of us may be subject to once in a lifetime ... The
day before he wrote the Pelley piece O'Donnell wept a full column's
worth of tears, bitter tears for the defendants in the mass sedition
trial of 1942 ... He described them as "small people" who "had one
thing in common ... They didn't like Roosevelt's foreign policy .. .
Most of them distrusted Pal Joey in Moscow" ... These two columns
of O'Donnell's are an indication that the Jewish issue will flare up
in the forthcoming Presidential election campaign—unless political
writers of the O'Donnell type are called to order now. before the
campaign hysteria sets in.

JACOB FICIIMAN
JERUSALEM, (JTA) — The
Ussishkin Memorial Prize was
awarded to the well-known He-
brew author and critic, Jacob
Fichman, for his critical study of
the late Chaim Nachman Bialik,
foremost Hebrew poet. Rabbi
Jacob Lifshitz, who served as
chaplain of the Jewish Brigade
during the war, also received the
prize for his "Book of the Jewish
Brigade."

U of M Hillel Among
Top Fund Collectors

WASHINGTON, D.C.--7Student
Welfare Fund campaigns, con-
ducted by Bnai Brith Hillel
Foundations on 56 college cam-
puses throughout the nation
raised more than $135,700 toward
the support of major Jewish wel-
fare agencies, Dr. A. L. Sachar,
national director of the Hillel
Foundations, announced.
The total amount collected dur-
ing the 1947 drive represents a
subscription of $33,500 over and
above the $102,000 goal establish-
ed at the outset of the campaign.
Final campaign reports reveal
that the University of California
(Los Angeles) led the nation
with a total of $21,373 collected.
Other schools in the top fund in-
eluded the University of Mich-
igan with $6,095.

Rabbi Rosenblum Made
Member of UNESCO

WASHINGTON, (JTA)—Rabbi
William F. Rosenblum, president
of the Synagogue Council of
America, has been appointed a
member of the U. S. National
Commission for the United Na-
tions Educational, Scientific and
Cultural Organization, UNESCO,
it was announced by the State
Department.

Here's what's behind Britain's deportations of the Exodusers to
Germany: She hopes that Haganah's shocktroopers among the DPs
and her immigration chieftains, might be provoked into a large scale
offensive within the British zone, including uprising by the DPs.
etcetera. Such actions would expose, she hopes. the entire network
of Jewish underground traffic and 'ive British intelligence an oppor-
tunity to ruthlessly destroy it. The press Britain has received in the
past three weeks because of the Exodus, has been so bad that she
stands to lose nothing from additional ruthlessness. On the other
hand, given the excuse for full-scale operations in Europe, she might
dispose once and for all of the DP leadership and Haganah's agents.
We are confident she will fail, as she has failed in Palestine many
times before. There, too, by means of arrests on June 29. 1946, and
mass raids on Jewish settlements, she hoped to draw Haganah's
shock troops, trained in partisan war techniques, into open warfare
for which they are 'distressingly unequipped and untrained and
which would lead to a wholesale massacre of Jews. Britain's troops
tore houses apart, ploughed through fields, but failed to achieve their
purpose. Haganah will choose its own time, and its own means. In
Europe and in Palestine. Britain, however, entertains other hopes.
That's the true story behind the Exodus deportations to Germany.

Flying Dutchman

This is not aimed at any single Jewish organization. although it
excludes very few. We think American Jewry is becoming sick and
tired of the "observers," "delegates" and "consultants" of American
Jewish groups who shuttle back and forth to "study" the plight of
Jewry, participate in emergency meetings. etc. They are a new ver-
sion of the "flying dutchman," but while the dutchman was accursed,
these men and women are blessed. Only a few of these shuttlers at
Jewish expense are competent students and surveyors and indispensa-
ble to the consultations to which they rush by boat and plane. Were
a statistician to compute the monies spent by these "volunteers"
for travel and hotel expenses, American Jewry would be shocked to
learn how much money needed for truly constructive projects, is
wasted to make these "flying dutchmen" as comfortable as possible
on their "trying" trips in behalf of Jewry. At the same time our
highest regards for men like those who compose Chicago's UJA
delegation, businessmen who neglect their own business to travel at
their own expense on Jewish missions.
