Refugee Develops , New Jet Engine
CINCINNATI (JTA)—The first
United Sates supersonic bomber
will be powered by a new jet
engine, developed by a Jewish
refugee from Germany, Gerhart?
Neumann, at the General Electric
Evandale plant here.
The 38-year-old e n g i n e e r,
whose father was a manufacturer
in Frankfurt-an-der-Oder, won a
prize for building a wind velocity
indicator at the age of 13. He
gr a d u a t e d from engineering
school in 1938.
Hearing that the Chinese Na-
tionalists wanted engineers, he set
out for China, only to be in-
terned in Hong Kong later as an
"enemy . alien" by the - British
when the war broke out. Facing
internment in Ceylon, unless he
could find a country to accept
.him, Neumann met an American,
White Cross Painted
On U. W. Hillel Building
who took him to Kunming, China,
as a mechanic.
Eventually he met Claire L.
Chennault, commander of the
"Flying Tigers," and wound up
serving with them.
When the United States en-
tered the war, Gen. Chennault got
special permission from the- Pen-
tagon to have- the "enemy alien"
given a sergeant's rating in the
Air Force. Later Sgt. Neumann
switched to service in the top-
secret Office of Strategic Serv-
ices, but even its commander,
Gen; William Donovan, could not
circumvent the rule barring
"enemy aliens" from a commis-
sion.
Sgt. Neumann went back to
China
to serve as a B-25 gunner.
•
Just as he returned to the U.S.
after the war, President Truman
signed a special bill granting him
citizenship. -

MADISON, Wis. (JTA) — The
University of Wisconsin's Hillel
Foundation building, now under
construction here, dedication of
which was marred • by the fact
that its corner stone had been
stolen and broken was the target
of malicious destruction again,
when a white cross was painted
on its wall, directly above the
spot where the broken corner-
stone had been deposited after its
recovery by police. -
Police attributed the cross
painting,' which was discovered
by a workman, to Halloween
"pranksters." The police had alsO
resorted to the "prankster" the-
ory as the explanation for the
removal of the cornerstone.

Va riety's Editorial
Classed as Hate
NEW YORK (JTA)—The di-
rector of Philadelphia Inquirer
Charities has branded a Variety
editorial charging "one man con-
trol" by a Jewish publisher, in
the Philadelphia concert field,
describing it as "hate mongering
inuendo." • In a letter to the
editor of the show business trade
newspaper, Harry C. Coles, Jr.,
said that he was "shocked" at
the article and denied any anti,
German bias on the part of
either the Philadelphia Forum
or the Philadelphia All Star
Concert Series bothcontrolled
by Inquirer Charities. Walter H.
Annenberg is publisher of the
Inquirer.
Mr. Coles said that a variety
of considerations had been in-
volved in the failure to book
the Berlin Philharmonic or the
London Philharmonic—both un-
der the direction of former Nazi
Herbert von Karajan. He noted
that the Philadelphia Forum had
booked another former Nazi,
pianist Walter Gieseking in the
same session - as the - Berlin Phil-
harmonic tour took place, and
added that the State Department
was the proper agency for the
determination of the moral ac-
ceptability of artists. Once an
artist had passed the depart-
ment's tests, he said, "we would
not conceive of going into the
problem afresh. -We conceive and
execute our series with in,
tegrity."

Tunisian Jews Close
Their Shops Early
To Bar Gang Attacks
TUNIS (JTA)—Following re-
peated attacks at the hands of
Arab nationalists, Jewish mer-
chants in the Hara Quarter
have decided to . clOse their
shops at dusk. Groups' of young
Jews 'here are Organizing a self-
defense corps - to protect JeWs
and their property from attacks.
The extremist Arab press con-
tinues a violent attack against
Albert Bessis, Jewish member of
the new Tunisian cabinet. The
newspaper of the Vieux Destour
nationalist movement, which fol-
lows the Moslem Brotherhood
line, complained that M. Bessis
is ignorant of the Arabic lan-
guage and demanded that he be
replaced in the cabinet by a
"Moslem Arab."
A secret Tunisian committee
has been set up here to collect
funds for the Egyptian arms
fund campaign. Leaders of the
'Vieux Destour movement are
directing the committee which
is also supported by Sallah Ben
Youssef, former secretary of the
Neo-Destour organization.

CLEVELAND, 0., (JTA) — A
bronze plaque bearing the like-
ness of Ernest Bloch has been
dedicated at the Hebrew Cultural
Garden here. The dedication was
the opening event of a civic pro-
gram planned in tribute to the
composer on the occasion of his
75th birthday.
The plaque, the work of sculp-
tor - Frank L. Jirouch, bears
themes from one of the compos-
er's works, "Schelmo." It is in-
scribed with a passage from one
of the Psalms: "Awake, Psaltery
and Harp."
The dedication ceremonies in-
clude selections from Bloch's
Sacred Service as performed by
the chorus of the Cleveland In-
stitute of Music. The general
celebration of t h e composer's
birthday will include a special
program of Bloch's work at the
Institute, as well as programming
of some of his works by the
Cleveland .Orchestra.
