BIRON (Copyright, 1947, Seven Arts Feature Syndicate) 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. Heard in the Lobbies By ARNOLD LEVIN (Copyright, 1947, Independent Jewish Press Service, Inc 1 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. • . . . . _. . . b. 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.
