has already been taken.) There has
been little comment in the press
on the statute except for publica-
ton of the explanatory statement
issued by the official Havas News
Agency with some slight varia-
lions.
The newspapers LIE Jour and Je
Journal call former Premier Leon
Blum the ''true author of the Jew
ish Statute" They give fantastic
figures regarding the number of
Jews in France, claiming there
are now 100000 in the country.
LIE Journal states that Jews num-
bered 100000 before the 'big in
vasion of 1936-1939." While exact
figures are not available, compe-
tent sources indicate that the num-
Der of Jews in European France
never exceeded 100000, foreign
ers and refugees included.
Meanwhile, the Jewish popula-
ton is stunned by the severity of
the new restrictions and panic
reigns among foreign Jews, who
fear wholesale transfer to special
concentration camps. A census of
foreigners in Toulouse was COM
pleted Tuesday by the local au-
thorities, who required registrants
to state their religion.
The Jewish statute, promulgat-
ed in the Journal Officiel, bars all
Jews from high Government posi-
lions and key posts in such pro-
fessions as the press and cinema
and limits lesser public positions
to Jews with war service.
An official spokesman told
newspapermen that the Jewish
statute was motivated by purely
internal French reasons and was
not brought about by any extern
al pressure" The 'Messianic" ten
dency of the Jews in public af-
fairs had proved dangerous for
France and led to the crusade for
war and disaster, he said. France
must take measures to defend its
interests, which had been neglect
ed by Jewish politicians, he stat
ed.

B'nai Birth Has
Waived Dues of
Men in Service

WASHINGTON, D. c. =
B'nai Birth, oldest and larg-
est national Jewish service
and fraternal organization,
has waived membership dues
for all of it's members who
have been or will be called
into the armed forces of the
United States, it was an
nounced here yesterday by
Henry Monsky, president of
B'nai Birth.
Mr.. Monsky explained that
dues will be waived for all
who enlisted or will enlist as
well as those called into
service through the conscrip-
ton act and the mobilization
of the National Guard and
reserve contingents of the
Army and Navy. Such MEM
bers will be exempt f r m
dues payment for the dura-
ton of t h cir service, Mr..
Monsky said. He added that
"of course such members
will continue to enjoy all the
rights and privileges of
membership in B'nai Birth"
In the case of members
whose dues are paid beyond
the time at which they are
called into service, they will
be credited with such pay
ments after they return to
civilian status, Mr.. Monsky
said.
In 1917, at the time of the
first World War, B'nai Birth
took a similar step.

Job, but also in terms of making
it possible for other Jewish job
seekers to get work. Although it
may be unintelligent for employers
to think that what one Jewish
worker does is true of all Jewish
workers, many are thus inclined.
You, therefore, have this special
responsibility of making it posi-
BILE for other Jews to get employ
ment. You, in your job, are act
ing as a living advertisement for
other Jewish job-seekers."

LONDON (JTA) The maya

EA0A 412U&N -
The blight of anh-Semltlsm
snrood in southeastern Europe as
tEa German army's march through
pumania to the s h ores of the
Rlack Sea deepened the threat OF
major hOstiIities in or around Pal
estine. Military experts at Wash
ington predicted that before the
ond of winter Jewish legiOns re-
cruited in Palestine and British
forces would lock in battle with
the Nazi shock troops.
Tn the midst of the new ferment
caused by the sudden Hitherto ac-
tion. the Hungarian and Yugoslav
Governments carried out import
ant anti-Semitic moves.
Parliamentary circles in Buda-
nest admitted that the prepare
tion of a new Hungarian anti
Jewish code was under way. The
basic principles of the new code,
which would not merely be third
anti-Jewish law, as previously
contemplated, but an entirely new
system of legislation, already had
been agreed upon by the cabinet,
it was understood.
The law would define as "Jews"
all persons with more than one
Jewish grandparent, all Gentiles OF
either sex who were married to
Jews. Baptism of any sort, on any
date, for whatever motive, would
not make a Jew a Christian in
the eyes of the law. The new law
was expected to eliminate Jews
from all executive positions in bus
mess and industry and liquidate
all Jewish property holders, how
ever small, and also remove Jews
fro m all professions influencing
public life, such as the theater and
radio.
There was little doubt, even
among the more optimistic OppO-
nents of anti-Semitism that the
new code, when enacted, would be
as severe as any anti-J6wish leg
islatiOn anywhere in Europe.
simultaneously, the newspaper
Ljubljanec, organ of Father Anton
Koroshets, Yu goslav Education
Minister, said the Belgrade Gov
eminent was preparing new anti
Jewish legislation which would
ban Jews from the press, theater,
radio and all professions influence
ing public opinion.
The minister was the father Of
the first YugOslay anti-Jewish
law, issued Sept. ~, which inn
posed numerous clausus on Jews
In middle and higher schools. A
second law was passed removing
Jews from the wholesale food
trade, as precautionary meas
ure" to prevent possible anti-Sem-
luc demonstrations in the face of
one OF the worst food shortages in
many years. Some YugOSlav cab
met members were reported to
nave threatened to resign if the
government embarked on a large
scale ant-Semitic program.
Humania also moved forward
m Its anti-Semitic program with
az order forbidding Christian pu-
plls to buy books from Jewish
stores and forbidding publishers to
sell books to Jewish book vendors.
me order also forbade Christian
authors to obtain contracts from
Jewish publishers.
Intense speculation prevailed

Clusters Rugged Horse
To Get Beauty Treatment

Comanche, the rugged horse
which alone survived the Custer In
dian massacre of 1876, is going to
receive a set of beauty treatments
from KLAUS Abegg, a Swiss taxi
dermist.
The horse, feature exhibit in the
Dyche museum at the University Of
Kansas, survived the massacre of
the Little Big Horn without scar,
but dust, rain and leaking roof
combined to make the mounted ex-
hibit come apart at the seams.
Abegg said that the mounted steed
needed a complete overhaul job
which includes stitching of the
cracked places in the hide and an
old-fashioned rundown to remove
dust and mold.
Comanche, veteran horse in the
Seventh cavalry, was returned to
the army outpost at Fort Riley,
Kan, after the battle and was &C.
corded military honors. Later the
animal died and was removed to the
museum here many years ago.

M. B.-I have been reading your
column and enjoy it fine. Tell me
please, sir, why is it my grand
daughter can't stay anywhere she
goes? What is the matter with
her?
Answer - Nothing. She's one
young lady who believes in living
her own life and to live it as she
pleases. She thinks nothing of
moving from place to place any
time the notion strikes her in
other words, she doesn't use good
judgment and doesn't care if she
doesn't. Don't humOr her but
let her know that if she wanted to
settle down and try to make some
thing that she could.
B. P. P.-I am planning a trip
for this coming summer and I want
to know if should get married be-

Answer-Carry out your plans
to make the trip north put off
the marriage. After this trip you
will have a different attitude to-
ward the fellow you are going with
in fact you won't want to
marry him at all.
