AN D Nj E
BY PAUL A. PETERS

GRAMMAR: NeateSt grammati-
cal note to emerge from the So
called war to date comes from
the portals of the British Foreign
Office Relayed by the British
mag Time and Tide, it was a pur-
ported summary of the cOckeyed-
est shift i'm the continents ideO-
logical alignment which was eli
NAKED by the Red-Nazi pact
Snow" the F. B. o. sOlemnly re-
marked, "all the isrms are Wasms."
REALTY: The famous Adolf
zukor estate at New City, N. Y,
which has on it one of the finest
18-hole golf dourses in the coun-
try, may soon be cut up for
family home development A
deal to that end is being promoted
by Sid Grammar, Pacific Coast
pix man.
TARGET: If the British anti
aircraft batteries show deadly ac-
curacy in bringing down enemy
planes over London some day, part
of the credit will have to go to a
pretty 24-year-Old Jewish girl,
Mona Friedlander Daughter
of a London financier, she took
her plane alOft almost nightly
during the pre-War afraid drills
and played target for the anti
plane popguns and spOtlights.
MINYAN: Embarrassing groups
are called on to do many peculiar
things Take, for instance. the
case of small community where
the Jews have difficulty raising a
minyan To swell the funds
Golfers, its agents conceived the
bright idea of supplying the need
ed men to make up the minyan-
at so much per head for the fund.
WHOLESALE: One of our ge-
nitl Jewish leaders was approach
ed the other day by a panhandler
+. Who asked for three cents
for cup of coffee "Since
when," the leader asked reaching
into his jeans, "can you buy a cup
of coffee for three cents ?"
"WhO," the panhandler retOrted
"buys retail?"
WARRIOR: Britain's first war
rior, Leslie Hore-Belisha (See Vic
BienStock's swell pen portrait OF
him in another part of this paper)
has a rapier wit A London
columnist tells this tale in illustra-
! ton Shortly after the war
broke out a prominent lawyer
called on the War Secretary to
offer his services Asked for
what post he considered himself
best suited, the lawyer replied:
II must leave that to you. You are
aware of my qualifications" /.
To which Hore-Belisha retorted:
That's just it. You see, we do
not intend to cross-examine the
Germans. We intend to fight
them" Incidentally, we saw
somewhere pix of the War Sec
that must have been taken not
long after he emerged from his
teens And in which he bears
a striking resemblance to an old
JTA employ named Pat McGrady,
who is now with the Associated
Press.
STENOGRAPHY: A remark
heard in LOndOn's streets these
days indicative of the feeling a
bout the boob of Berlin: "He'S
been debating long enOugh-nOw
we're going to take him down."
SCENARIO: Plans are afoot to
film the dramatic life of the late
Cesare Lombroso, world-famous
italian Jewish crininologist and
anthropologist who wrote Genius
and Madness" His grandson,
Enrico Lombroso, is writing a
scenario which he hopes to place
with some enterprising Hollywood
producer Enrico, who is now
living in Geneva, is playwright.
Upon his marriage in Rome
not long ago, the italian Royal
Family, despite the racial laws.
sent him personal congratula-
lions.
