Speaking
By PAT FRANK

V'SNS'N''N'''%'S'NSS'SSS'
We hate to talk about him so
much because he isn't really worth
the space, but we want to call at
tentiOn to the latest attempt of
William Dudley Pelley, Americas
wOuld-be Hitler, to wreck Ameri-
can Jewry.
Pelley now has dropped his
frontal attacks. He has announced
that his Silver Legion is disbanded
lit never was much more than a
letterhead organization anyway
and, in his particularly willy man
ner, he is attempting to goad Jews
into attacking Martin Dies.
The latest issue of his publica-
ton, Liberation" is devoted from
cover to cover to praise Dies and
the Committee Investigating un-
A m eri can activities. And the
theme of the issue is: "AlI good
Silver Shirts listen-Dies is going
after the Jews now, so let's all
string along with him."
You have to remember that this
is published in sheet that a year
ago was attacking Dies in the
most scurrilous fashion. And you
must remember that Dies has
categorically labelled anti-Semi-
tism as un-American, and direct
challenge to the integrity of the
Constitution.
But a Jewish reader, not well
Informed as to PelIey's unscrupu-
lOus tactics, might be led to be-
lieve that Policy really did adj
mire the man who exposed him,
and that Dies really was a silent
partner in the schemes of Policy
and his ilk. Policy would like moth
ing better than for American Jew
ry to believe this, and to attack
the Dies Committee. Then (PeIIey
figures) Dies would indeed lean
towards anti-Semitism, and the
elusive little man with the gOatee
would have made for the Jews a
powerful enemy.
Of course it isn't going to work
out like that. No man with sense
believes that Dies has taken Pei
ley under protective wing, as
Policy would have you believe. In
fact, the action of Policy in diving
under Dies coattails has infuri-
ated the Texan, who realizes that
Pelley's honey is spread to smear
him with a Nazi-Fascist label.

Bowling! Yessir, it's Americas
most popular individual indoor
winter sport as opposed to the ma
tons favorite team game of bas-
ketball and more than any other
sporting pastime, the game be-
longs just as much to the ladies
as it does to the guys who pay for
their game. Bowling in the last
decade has proved to countless
millions that it can be a fascinat-
ing, spine-tingling, zippy, exhil-
arating business of forgetting.
As we've just said, it's really a
one mans game although the two
man teams and the five-man units
as well as the mixed doubles are
rapidly winning hold on bowlers'
affections. Is it catching on? Well,
practically every local Jewish COM
munity house in the country has
at least two bowling alleys in the
basement and the delightful Juror
