MANY PEOPLE KNOW Sidney
Nickin as a department store head
(Adelman's- in Windsor) or for his
famous breakfasts given the Tfilin
Club at Cong. Bnai Moshe . . . But
Sidney is now becoming quite
noted as a magician . . . especially
among charitable groups to whom
he offers his services and wide
range of material free of charge
. . . If necessary, he'll even bring
his own stage with him . Sid-
ney's shepherd dog, Brownie, is
part of the act, too . . . Nothing
magical, Brownie does real tricks
to Sid's commands and performs
with all the poise of a seasoned
veteran . . . Last week, we em-
scee'd a show at the Detroit Reha-
bilitation Center in which Sidney
was the star . . . He gave the pa-
tients a wonderful time with his
thrilling performance . . . Sidney
also brought a youthful rock 'n
sock 'em rhythm trio .. . And, of
course, Brownie.

SIX MONTHS AGO, Roz and
Norton Fine were "midwives" in
the middle of the night when one of
their poodles gave birth to nine
puppies .. . This time, it happen-
ed during the day that their Su-
zette made history by giving birth
to 10 offsprings with Roz and Nor-
ton again standing by . . . As a
result, the two have ventured into
a side business of breeding poo-
dles . . . They go under the name
of RoNo Kennels ... After the or-
deal, Norty said he'll leave the
business up to Ro from now on,
because it's easier to sell furni-
ture! . . . If anyone is interested
in a puppy, call Roz at LI 5-6496.

Far-Left-Leaning 'Morning Freiheit'
Condemns Anti-Semitic Propaganda
(Direct JTA Teletype Wire
to The Jewish News)
NEW YORK—The Morning Frei-
heit, the Daily Yiddish newspaper
of the far-left-wing attitude, sharp-
ly criticized Wednesday the con-
tinuation of anti-Semitic propa-
ganda in the Soviet Union, declar-
ing that "it seems that, among the
anti-religious propagandists of the
Soviet Union, there are many ig-
norant
persons, often among them
poisonous anti-Semites."

"It is high time that such propa-

the abolition of all national bound-

all antireligious propaganda of a
vulgar and harmful nature. Anti-

In an editorial, the Frieheit
noted that ,earlier this week, the
American Jewish Conference on
Soviet Jewry published a report
about an article in "Zviazda," of
Minsk, largest daily in Bielorussia,
which had conjured up canards
about alleged Jewish ritual prac-
tices, condemned Judaism as a re-
ligion that "defends what is rotten
and dead," and charged that
American Jewish organizations are
headed by such leaders of big busi-
ness as Guggenheim, Morgenthau,
Harriman and Rockefeller. (The
latter two are not Jews).
The editorial stated that the
Freiheit would ignore a report
of this nature if there had been
indications of trial and punish-
ment of other anti-Semitic au-
thors in the USSR, like a Prof.
Kitchko. who had authored the
infamous anti-Semitic w o r k,
"Judaism Without Embellish-
ment."
"The report from Minsk," stated
the editorial, "Would not be ac-
ceptable to us if we had heard
about action against the other anti-
religious books. To our sorrow,
we know from experience that, in
the Soviet Union, antireligious
propaganda is often carried out in
inept and ignorant fashion. Such
propaganda convinces no one. On
the contrary, we know of many
(Jewish) religious men in America,
rabbis and others, who play an out-
standing role in the struggle
against racism and war, and re-
ligious Jews in the Soviet Union
