Once in the presence of God
I began forthwith as follows: God
of my forefathers and of their
forefathers before them, why do
you permit the determination of
the people of Israel? I come to you
not merely with prayers, not
merely with tears and lamenta-
ton, I bring you a token-a hand
of a Jew who once lived in peace
and happiness in a place called
Wieliczka. This hand was cut off
by the bestial Nazi murderers be-
cause its owner belonged to the
blood of Israel. I bring you also
the souls of many parents who
compelled by the Nazi Torque-
madas to dig graves for their own
children while these were still
alive, and the souls of those Jew
ish daughters who died or COM
mitted suicide rather than SUBJ
NIT to the violence of the Nazi
gangsters.
Why do you not cause heaven
and earth to tremble, God, at the
sight of these unspeakable crimes
and evils that are visited upon
the innocent children of Israel I?
Why do you not stay the hand Of
the murderer? Why do you not
put kindness and goodness and the
spirit of mercy and justice in the
hearts of people so that they may
cease these evils? And why, Oh
God, do you not arouse those
children of Israel who live in the
more peaceful parts of the world
as America, to a sense of theil
responsibility toward their af-
flicted brthren in Poland and Othel

sections that have fallen under the
iron heel of the OppressOrs?
I cannot believe, God, that it is
your will to have us thus perse-
cuted. You are God of mercy and
wisdom, then show us at least
how to defend and save ourselves
from the wrath of the inhuman
fiend, Hitler, who seeks to de-
stroy us once and for all. Cause
the world to come to our aid in our
desperate struggle for survival.
And if the world refuses to do so,
perhaps it were better that you
brought total destruction upon it,
for verify, God, life as it is now
has become uncomfortable.

ally because of fielding deficiency.
But McGraw continued the hunt
for a Jewish player, convinced
that a real star would be worth
his weight in gold.
And then came Andy Cohen. The
kid was a graduate of the Univer-
;sity of Alabama and had been a
crackerjack collegiate competitor.
Remember, too, that we spoke
about his debut at the Polo
Grounds. Because of this impend-
ing debut, the nation was divided
on April IL, 1928, more so than
at the outbreak of the war be-
tween the States. To add fuel to
the fire, the Giants were to open
against the Browns, who had pur-
chased the cOlOrful HOrnsby and
who were using the star second
Sacker at his favOrite spot against
the tyrO, Andy Cohen. The day
was all Andy COhen's. Jews and
Gentiles alike carried Andy off the
field on their shoulders for the
young Jewish LOchinvar had de-
hVered three hits to HOrnSby'S
one scrtach single. Moreover, Co
hen had scored the first run of
the season, had hand in four of
the five runs the Giants had scored
and had played a perfect game in
the field.
McGraw hailed Cohen as the
greatest Jewish ball player of
all time after that opening game
But alas, Andy Cohen was just a
morning glory. He slumped at the
plate and fiZZled in the field. He
was benched in mid-season and
sold down the river to the minors
at the winter-trades. McGraw was
bitterly disappointed and the Jew
ish baseball fans heartbroken. But
one thing was certain. Cohen's de-
but would never be forgotten.
When John j. passed on, his
managerial mantle was draped
around the shoulders of Bill Ter.

some three years ago and has

have flOcked to the Polo Grounds

star his inaugural promised but
ne remembers, too, that in his
fleeting hour Andy was as idol
lied as any ball player who ever
wore a Giant uniform. So it's with
this thought in mind and with the
thought of future success that
Terry is giving plenty of attention
down in the Southlands to another
young Jewish boy-a kid from the
big city named Stanley SchwCd.
"He's a better prospect than
Cohen ever was" Terry remarked
when he learned the lad was of the
Hebrew faith, and went on to add
that he thought Schwed, who had
attended the High School of Com
merce in N.Y.C. and played semi
pro baseball and had an excellent
chance of becoming a regular Sec
Ond baSeman. (And our scouts
down in the n-drenched climes
have informed us that the kid
has a natural side-arm throw,
covers a deal of ground and knows
how to make plays at the key
stone. For a kid of twenty, they
add, he is husky lad, covering
his five-feet-nine-inches with 100
pounds.
Closer checking reveals tn a t
Winter Haven, Florida, is not the
first place Terry has seen young
Schwed. The kid tried out several
times at the Polo Grounds. That
was when he was working in his
uncle's shop selling ladies' coats.
His uncle generously gave him
time off because he wanted to see
the young man prosper as a base
ball player. Finally tanley
thought he was taking advantage
of his kin and decided he would
have as much money as he could
and, in one grand fling, show Ter
ry what he could do right down
there in Florida where a mana
gers eyes are always rowing the
lot for likely youngsters. The kid
paid his own bus fare, rented a
room and contracted to get his
meals. Then he went to the park
got a uniform and started to work
as soon as Terry reached there.
1t turned out to be more than
a mere profitable investment. He
got into better condition to play
here than he ever had been wher
he was dividing his time between
selling apparel to the ladies ant
selling himself to Terry and Pan
chO Snyder at the Polo Grounds
The players, too, are more in
terested in him down there. Bur
CESS Whitehead has given hin
several valuable tips on how Il
play second and Herschel Bob
and John Heving, minor League
managers have taken him asid,
and shown him his faults. Finally
Bill Terry noticed him, put him il
game with the pitchers and tn,
catcherS and re m a r k e d tina
Schwed was a ball player to watch
Said Terry, Zone or two years il

We're expecting an Air-Mai
special from young Stanle!
Schwed informing us of the an
nouncement Terry has made con
corning the minor league clul
to which he is sending the youns
man for his apprentice work. II
all events, it's fairly definite, i

Jackson Says Counter Espion-
age Much More Effective
Than Many Arrests

NEW YORK, Sept. 1o.-R-At-
toney General Robert H. jackson
said today that ''conter-espionage
is much more effective from our
point of view than a number of
arrests" and disclosed that tn e
government was keeping all Nazi
and groups under sur
v%eillance.
THAT is said to be an infringe
ment on civil liberties, but l don't
believe that because we are a toll
Grant people, we also have to be
ignorant" he told convention dele
gates of the U. S. Conference of
Mayors.
He said his department was not
interested in sensationalism or in
tips from excited volunteer Wig
ilantes. The attorney general said
the mayors and community figures
of good character were the best
scIeces of information the depart
ment of justice had in its sabot-
;Ce prevention work.
You are closer to the people
than your government in Washing
ton can be-" he said.
Another speaker, H d O..
Hunter, acting commissioner of the
WPA, predicted the S., 900, 900, 900
in defense appropriations for fis-
cal 1871 would increase private
employment by between $500, 900
and 5000, 900 persons. More than
$500, 900, 900 had been spent by the
WPA in five years on national de-
tense projects, mostly in construc-
ton of airports and development
of highways. he added.
Earlier, Mayor F. H. La Guardia
conference president, expressed a
belief. I'VE have an 80 to IS per
cent possibility of avoiding war
if we proceed with our national
defense program"
But if we are weak in any point
we will find this country in a diff
