Medals Preserve
Fame of Jews

The field of Jewish medals is a
new one to the United States, but
European communities for many
centuries have commemorated out
standing achievements and signal
events by issuing commemorative
coins. When a new synagogue was
built in Vercelli, italy, in 1873, a
medal was struck. When the twen-
ty-fifth anniversary of Henri Loeb
as Grand Rabbi of Belgium was
reached in 1859, his likeness was
preserved on a medal. When the
great statesman and diplomat, Ru-
fus Daniel Isaacs, died in England,
his memory was honored by a med
al designed by A. Lowenthal. In
this way we have an unusual rec
ord of Jewish history in these med
ais.
Mr.. Samuel Friedenberg, a mer-
chant in New York City, has been
searching the world for the past
four years for Jewish medals and

established a community there
long before the Barbarians ar
rived and undermined the Roman
Empire, before even Christianity
was established in the lands of the
West. What they have contributed
to the growth of Cologne, what
they suffered at the hands of the
Crusaders, where they lived and
how they managed their internal
affairs is all told simply and lu-
cidly in the pages of this volume.
Even after bigotry combined with
internal politics to expel them
from the city proper, DR.. Kober
reveals that their relations with
the city were not completely dis
rupted.
With equal interest, the reader
will follow the growth of the mod
ern settlement of Jews in Cologne.
Step by step, beginning with the
French occupation of Cologne late
in the eighteenth century, the
Jewish community struggled for
human rights, while contributing
to the cultural and commercial
growth of the city out of all pro-
portion to it's members. It was an
uphill fight against blindness, BIZ
gotry and bureaucracy, but it was
won through merit which no one
could deny. It was left to the pre-
sent German government to des-
troy all that had been built and
deny all that had been achieved.
It is understandable that DR.. Ko-
Der, though recently arrived in the
United States, says little about the
last few years, but he says enough
for the reader to sense the tragedy.

AOOnAAAS AuS MOnU-COdCM JOD at IT,
NY. Which reminds us that
If Friedman can do the excellent
job that Dolly Stark is doing in
the major leagues of baseball or
the magnificent job that Dave To-
hey has been doing in the pro
and amateur basketball circuits he
will round out perfect trio. :.
Stark and TObey are considered
tops i'm their respective fields. :.
Stark's repute is international
while TObey hasn't been doing so
badly for himself either. His
histriOnic and thespian antics at
a collegiate game have delighted
the court fans for years. Not
only does TObey call 'em but he
acts out everything he calls.
"Slapsie" Make Rosenbloom
who, believe it or not, once held
the worlds light-heavyweight
championship, is considered one of
the smartest business men in Hol-
lywood. Make, however, has
been capitalizing on his dumb
ness at his night club (Which he
owns outright), on the airwaves
and on the screen. The cauli-
flowered young man is proud of
his boxing record of some years
back. 'Slapsie' always endea-
vored to beat his rivals in the ring
by the decision route and over
thirty-four fights always slapped"
his opponents dizzy and invariably
was awarded the duke :. In one
of his last fights striving desper-
ately to maintain his record-Max-
lie slapped rival and was the
most surprised man in the arena
when his rival fell to the canvas
for the count. "Slapsie" even
tually lost his title to his stable
mate Bob Olin, also a Jewish ring
warrior. Of course, the howl
the boxing commission in forty
seven states raised when they
learned that Olin was not only a
mate of Rosenbloom's but that
Rosey also owned a considerable
part of Olin was heard throughout
the world. Eventually, though,
"Slapsie" was able to convince the
moguls of the boxing associations
that the fight was on the up-and-
up and Olin held the light-heavy-
weight championship for one whole
year before he in turn was de-
throned by John Henry Lewis, the
colored boxer from the West. :.
Another boast of "Slapsie's" is
that he never trained for a fight
but that he spent all his gym time
in night clubs, and if you've ever
seen Make fight you'll remember
that his was no idle boast. How
ever, strange as it may seem, Ros-
enbloom is in the six-figured in
come brackets these days.
Speaking of fighters reminds us

looming as one of the ADLER refer
ees in the prize-fight racket today
