Read Things Into Sermon

Read Things Into Sermon
There Is large element Of Jewish
people who are dissatisfied with the
address because of certain things which
they have read into it and which DIR.
Wise had no intention of saying. Every
body who knows him knows well that
the last thing in the world he would do
would be to advise Jews to create a
movement among Jewish people to en-
brace Christianity. He has always
been n strong protagonst of Jewish
personality and the Jewish religion
one Of the strongest of any Of the rabbis
Of the country although he is. as
everybody knows. extremely liberal in
his views.
This whole thing. ] repeat. is
mainly due 10 misintcrprctation of his
views. DR.. Wise ia first and foremost
a Zionist and interested in the progress
and advancement of the Zionist ideal.
There is nothing in the world mere
dear 10 his heart than this
Mr.. Lipsky said that the matter
would probably come before the Execrl-
tive Committee of the United Palestine
Appeal at II meeting to he held at some
early date--probably next week.
AS for the report that the Zionists of
Canada had decided TO recall an invi-
tation they extended 10 DIR. Wise Ia
address them in January. Mr.. Lipsky
said that the invitation had already
been declined by DIR. Wise last week
before the present discussion arose.
That statement is, therefore, unfoundcd,
he said.
II was learned that the Administra-
tive Committee Of the Zionist Organ
izaiion of America had considered the
protests against DIR. Wise's sermon at
n meeting held Nesctrdny and declined
to ask for his resignation. This dcci-
sicn was voted unanimously.

HOBO CREATES new
MODE OF TRAVEL
Young Tramp Steals Airplane
Ride From Las Vegas to
Los Angeles.

Los Angeles, Aug. 18.-The blind
baggage of a passenger train may be
good enough for most hoboes, but
when Jack Richman found himself up
against it for transportation at Las
vegas, New, he grabbed the wing of
an alrpiane and beat the best rail
road time into Los Angeles.
The plane Jack clipped as it was
taking eff, was piloted by Major G. c..
Moseley, head of the California Ma
tlonal Guard air force, and the weight
OF him hanging onto the outer edge
OF the wing nearly sent the plane into
a disastrous sideslip.
Neither Major Moseley nor Ser
geant Chestnut Wood, accompanying
him, saw their unlimited passenger

and having difficulty coaxing the
craft into an even Keel. When they
did glimpse him, they motioned him
to crawl in toward the fuselage. He
obeyed and thereby, Mcseley related
later, saved them all from a crash.
Wind tore Jacks shirt to shreds be-
fore the plane alighted at Griffith
park airport here, so Major Moseley
made him a present Of an army shirt.
They noticed that the aerial hobo had
not forgotten, during his ride on the
wing, to tie his beddiU.s roll securely
to a strut.
Jack told newspapermen he was II

Paper Passes Out of Ex-

The Westby News ceased publica-
ton a few days ago, The reason for
its demise was given as lack Of sup
port. For a time the Westby News
was run as an Independent paper
which supported the farmers strug-
gle for freedom. The editor, how
ever, got to hobnobbing with the bust
nessmen and bankers, who promised
him all kinds of advertising if he run
"a clean paper" and was not radical"
and other stock phrases of small town
bankers and their dependents.
Soon after the paper assumed a
milk and water attitude and lost sup
port continuously until the the time
of its death.
1t is understood that some of the
plant is being shipped to North Da-
kota, where the father Of Mr.. Paul
son, the editor, gets out two papers,
which print much comment on things
in Montana and particularly in Sheri-
