'The Imaginary Jew'
Highlights `Spearhead'

The short story "The Imaginary
Jew" by John Berryman, a non-
Jewish writer, is the highlight of
the 604-page collection of stories
and poems in "Spearhead," pub-
lished by New Directions, 500
Fifth Ave., New York. The con-
cluding paragraph of the story is
significant:
"In the days following, as my
resentment died, I saw that I
bad not been a victim altogeth-
er unjustly. My persecutors
were right: I was a Jew.- The
imaginary Jew I. was was as
real as the imaginary Jew hunt-
ed down, on other nights and
days, in a real Jew. Every mur-
derer strikes the mirror, the
lash of the torturer falls on the
mirror and cuts the real im-
age, and the real and the imagi-
nary blood flow down togeth-
er."
Nine of the 49 authors whose
works appear in this anthology
are Jewish. Their works are mod-
ern classics gathered from 10
years' annuals of New Directions.
"Spearhead's" sub-title is "Ten
Years of Experimental Writing in
America."
Paul Goodman's "The Facts of
Life" is another of the more sig-
nificant selections in "Spearhead."
Muriel Rukeyser's poems, Samuel
Greenberg's "Manuscripts," the
works of Gertrude Stein, David
Kerner, William Saroyan, Karl
Shapiro, Delmore Schwartz and
the others make this book stand
out as a very earnest collection
of the works of our moderns.

Non-Contraband Cargo
Shipped to Jewish Agency
By Material for Palestine

NEW YORK—Material for
Palestine, Inc., shipped its first
cargo of non-contraband material
for the Jews of Palestine Feb. 25.
Medical supplies, tents, blank-
ets, sand bags and water distilla-
tion units, consigned to the Jew-
ish Agency for Palestine, formed
the bulk of this first cargo,
aboard the S. S. Flying Arrow of
the Isbrandsten Line.
Material for Palestine, Inc., ac-
cording to Officials •of the new
organization was organized to
channelize the flow of non-em-
bargoed materials which the Jews
of America are offering to the
Palestine Jews in their struggle
to implement and carry out the
decision of the UN.
It was explained that Material
for Palestine, Inc., whose offices
are at. 250 W. 57th St., New York,
is not engaged in fund raising
but is seeking donations of spe-
cific goods or articles directly
from dealers, manufacturers and
retailers in fairly large lilts.
Representatives point out that
collection and shipment of Andi-
vidual items such as socks and
blankets would not be practical.

Displaced persons seeking welcome and a

Henry claims that other nations ought to
bring the DP's cheer,
But he doesn't lift a finger to extend their
welcome here.
