Edouard de Rothschild,
Famous Banker, Dies
PARIS, (JTA) — Baron Edou-
ard de Rothschild, financier,
philanthropist, Jewish commun-
al worker and sportsman, died
here. He was 81 years old.
A member of the world-
famous/ banking family, the
Baron was active in top bank-k
ing circles in France for many
years. When the Nazis overran
France, he fled to the United
States with his wife. He later
was deprived by the pro-Nazi
French Government of his citi-
zenship and his property was
confiscated by the Vichy regime.
In the United States, where
he arrived in 1940, he was active
in war relief work, including the
raising of funds for the Russian
people. As preSident of the Con-
sistory of the Jews of France he
pressed the fight to restore the
Cremieux law, which • was abro-
gated by Vichy. The law, pasSed
in 1870, guaranteed French citi-
zenship to native-born Algerian
Jews. When the Allied fordes
restored the Free French to
North Africa, Gen. Henri Gi-
rard, French High Commission-
er,. formally abrogated the Cre-
mieux law again. Baron de
Rothschild protested to the
State Department and became
embroiled in a controversy with
the then Undersecretary of
State Sumner Welles- who de-
fended Gen. Giraud's decree.

1 Try and Stop Me
By BENNETT CERF-
.1 4 , MERICA'S leading composers of popular music have one
thing in common. When surrounded by convivial com-
panions, all of them love to sit down at the piano—and play
their o w n compositions.
(IM A L/777E
Truth to tell, they cannot
BoThiERED BY
hero themselves. Should
VAT CRACK
they ever protest that they
KAUFMAN
are "not in the mood" they
MADE
are accuseeeof being ingrates
and spoil-sports.
The composer who needed
least urging was the late
George Gershwin. . He frankly
delighted in playing his songs
on all possible occasions—and
how he could play them, too!
I remember one dinner party
at George Kaufman's house
go;
where not only Gershwin, but
Irving Berlin, Richard Rodgers
and Arthur Schwartz were, present. We were having, dessert in the
ground-floor dining room when
w
Kaufman . rose and announced dra-
matically, "When I give the signal, all composers can make a break
for the • piano on the second floor. The one who gets there first
can play his own songs for exactly one hour."
Everybody laughed and settled back for more tklk. When we
finally did climb back to the second floor, however, there was George
Gershwin seated at the piano, happily improvising the theme of
"Embraceable You." "I'm a little bothered by that crack Kaufman
made downstairs," he confided to me. "Do you think he was kidding?"

God Bless You, Dear Israel
By Rev. C. Thomas Foster, Jr.
6133 Iroquois, Detroit
Though persecuted for many years,
Your brave race calmly stood;
You wandered far away with tears,
• But now you're home for good.
The God of faithful Abraham,
Gave promise long ago,
That He would not forget your race;
No matter where you'd go.
Though pressed through trials of every.
kind,
And subjected to distress ;
Your people settled in their, minds,
Through hardships - they would press.
Until the day you would be free,
And go back home to stay;
For in Palestine you longed to be;
You visualized that day.
Now Israel you're a nation too,
You're happy and were glad.
I see the works of God. don't you?
No longer are you sad.
Yes. Israel, now that thou art one,
Your dreams have now come true;
Oh. praise the Lord for all He's done,
Brave Israel we're for you.
America is real proud of you,
Our prayers for you shall be;
That Cod will bless and prosper you.
And keep you Safe and Free!
