pace and when Mauri made the
turn, only our eyes accompanied
him. Stomach ct al seemed to sail
straight ahead and you can get
a very mild picture of what hap
pened to us by remembering the
last time you were in an elevator
that stopped suddenly on its way
up. Only ours was hundred-mile
pace. Yessir, that was our first
and only trip in a racing chariot
and believe it or not we couldn't
go near an automobile wheel for
months after that little "spin."
Incidentally, Mauri was the first
American across the line during
the actual race even though he
finished sixth to Europe's six fore
most riders. For this feat, along
with some other commendable rec
ords, Mauri was awarded the COW
eted Number One Driver spot by
the A.A.A. as we've pointed out
before.
We do hope he wins the Me-
mortal Day Rave next year and
then quits the speed racket for
ever. The guys too nice to wind
up as a battered hulk on some
slab in a county mOrgue.
ADD ITEMS
Rose, by the way, wasn't the on
ly Jewish driver to qualify for the
event on Decoration Day. Rene
Dreyfuss, a Frenchman on leave
from the French Army, likewise
qualified, but too late. The mex
orable rules of the track specify
that the first thirty-three to hit
the qualifying speed are automat-
ically in the race. No one else,
regardless of speed rates attained
can come in. Thus with Dreyfuss.
His speed was second to none and
his car an American product, but
he was the thirty-fifth man to
come rearing down the stretch on
ly twenty-four hours before the
starters gun. Dreyfuss, neverthe-
less, plans to tour the saucers and
dirt tracks of America before get
ting back to the front lines where
he is in command of seventy-ton
tank.

Countries Stirred
By Nazi Activities

LA PAZ, Bolivia (JTA)-With
'Nazis intensifying their activities,
the press is urging the Govern
ment to exercise more careful sur
veillance of the fifth column in
Bolivia.
According to newspapers, the
German school in La Paz. which
is attended by some Bolivian chill
dren. as well as Germans, is a CEN
ter Of Nazi activity. Several DAYS
ago a celebration was held in the
school during which a teacher de-
manded that the pupils give the
Hell Hitler" salute. An attempt
was made in the school to replace
portraits of Bolivar and Sucre.
Bolivia's liberators, with a picture
of Hitler.
In a cafe, a Nazi shouted:
Down with Bolivia! Long live
Hitler"
Several anti-Semitic newspapers
supported by the Nazis are con-
Quoting violent propaganda for ex-
pulsion of the Jews. These papers
deal in various sorts of anti-Jew-
lsh allegations, such as that Jews
bring social diseases into Bolivia.
Bolivian newspapers, especially
La Razon, warn the Government
to watch the illegal Nazi party.
German business men operate i'm
portant enterprises here. In 1884,
a group of Nazis asked the Pres
ident to legalize the Nazi party,
but he refused. Since then the par
ty has been conducting it's ac-
tivities secretly.

This Weeks Sedrah
By Rabbi DAVID B. ALPERT

'May God cause the light of his
cOuntenance to shine upon thee
and give thee peace. :" (Num-
bers ~; p NassO)
Would we be strong? Then our
strength must start from within.
If we would be at peace, that peace
must radiate from within. Our
security, that all seek, must gen.
crate from within.
These simple axiOms have been
forgotten in recent years. Many
people have sought peace and Sc
curity as something to be imposed
from without: by legislation, by
stronger defenses, by external as
surances. Why doesn't God inter-
vene and come to the rescue in
the present world situation: that
question is heard from many peO-
pie nowadays as their only COM
mentary upon the world scene. But
the failure is not Gods; the fail
ure is human and moral. The dis
aster is due to the moral break
down among men, in which we
have trusted and placed our reli-
ance upon external measures for
our strength and peace and Sc
curity.
The haftarah from Judges deals
with the birth of Samson, the hero
of brute physical power, lacking
any depth of spiritual insight. The
life of Samson is symbolic of much
recent history: surprise attack;
swift and merciless answer to tor
mentors; revenge ia ken swiftly
as the only vindication; strength of
force and attack without any in
ner and strong power.

The service of the priests was
in human relationships, assisting
people to find their strength and
peace within. The priests were on
active duty at the Temple for not
over twenty years, from age thir-
ty to fifty. Under that age, they
were in training. Above that age,
the prieEts were relieved of active
duty but unofficially remained a.
strong influence among the people.
The leper and the anti-social per-
son could not remain in the camp;
in the judgment of the priests, an
ti-social people might be excluded.
The task of the priests was impor-
tant in domestic relations, in seek
ing to re-establish the harmony of
husband and wife, and to remove
jealousy from the hearts of men.
The service of the priests was to
confirm people in their inner good,
to help them find the peace within
which is basic to any peace in
their human affairs.

DEFYING DEATH WITH MATRr
ROSE

"Death-defying" has become a
trite term since the circus ring
master grabbed his phase to des-
cr1be the parlor tricks of the tight
rope artist high above the sawdust
arena. But believe you me, these
indoor aerial acrobats are but
playing tiddly-winks when COM
pared with a rousing dash down
the speedways at a 13O-mile clip.
We know what it feels like and
we have an idea what Mauri must
feel for it was this same Mauri
Rose who gave us our first and
only spin" with a racing chariot
eer.
The Roosevelt Raceways on
Long Island was having it's inau-
gural ceremonies with a five hun
dred mile race over the most dam
gerOuS course in the land. Our
first sensation on viewing tn e
blueprints of this fantastic layout
was that of pretzel on a hinge.
We couldn't add much after our
first trip around. Sixty of the
worlds leading drivers had as
sembled for this opening event
and Mauri Rose won a qualifying
spot. And as he was the only Jew
iSh driver i'm such an illustriOuS
field we had gone down to pay
him homage. Now Mauri never
says much and no sooner had we
expressed wonder on how it feels
to ride in a juggernaut than Rose
said, "COme on"
Anybody who has driven a car
on a lonely patch of highway must
have succumbed at one time or an
other to the definite hypnotism
about high speed and opened the
family buggy wide open. At sixty
or seventy or even ninety miles an
hour, it is you who are rushing
through space like comet. But
at velocities beyond that it is ex-
actly opposite.
AS Mauri pushed his gas pedal
to the floor, we felt as though we
were suspended, shaken, ratified,
and half chOked in stationary
object that is the center of an ut
terly mad and terrying attack by
ordinarily immOvable obi &c S.
Trees, houses, walls, bridges. roads,
grandstands, leaped at us with in
credible ferOcity.
At 100 miles an hour over the
Roosevelt Raceways, it was a
world gone mad. Objects in the
distance first seemed to crouch
as we started down the straight
away, then they began to creep
forward and suddenly they sprang
at us with a terrifying "PAH"
Fortunately, and we repeat this
word now with thankful amens,
the track is so constructed that
the car has to be slowed down to
a snail's pace in order to make the
many and intricate turns of this
pretzeI-bending course. But even
at this speed, the sensation is ter
rifle. Our body had been travelling
straight ahead at an abnormal

Bedtime Stories

Curiosity Is . funny thing. There
Is nothing in the world which 20
often leads people to do foolish
things q does curiosity. Everybody
knows what Z timid chap Peter
Rabbit Is. He Is is so timN that
he Is always being laughed ct by
lis neighbors. Yet every orce In
. while Peter will do something
that not even the boldest Of his
neighbors would dream Of doing.
Curiosity and nothing else Is the
cause.
When he had seen that terrible
flying giant come down on the
Green Meadows and run straight
toward the dear Old Briar Patch
Peter was absolutely sure that that
giant was after him With his heart
In his mouth, as 1t were. he had
hurried to join Mrs. Peter In the
underground house which they kept
open for Just such q time In the
heart Of the dear old Briar Patch.
Down to the little room at the
very end of the long hall they
hurried and there they sat side
by side as close as they could get,
hardly daring to breathe.
But nothing happened. OF course
nothing happened. After a while
curiosity began to take the place
Of Peters fear. He wondered II
that terrible giant had flown away.
If he hadn't flown away. what was
he doing? Peter stood 1t just as
long as he could, then, despite all
little Mrs. Peter could say, he crept
up and peeped out Of his doorway.
The dear Old Briar Patch was
Just as usual. Peter waited q few
minutes and listened. He could
hear some queer sounds over toward
where he had last seen the terrible
stranger. He knew that those sounds
were outside the dear Old Briar
Patch. They made him more curl
Gus still. He stole along one Of
his private little paths and then
listened. He stole a few steps
farther and listened. He did it all
over again. He kept doing it until
he was at the very edge Of the
dear Old Briar Patch.
Just as he got there Peter saw
something that he just knew he
couldn't have seen right. Out of
the back of that terrible flying giant
jumped man! Peter rubbed his
eyes. He looked again and there
was the man standing beside the
terrible giant. Once more Peter
rubbed his eyes. He wondered if
they were playing him tricks.
