JEWISH WOMEN JUDAISM HOPE
Rabbi SheinkOpf Gives Im- pressive Address Before
 Beth Israel SisterhOOd

Rabbi Moses D. Sheinkopf, speak ing before approximately 200 people at last nights annual supper of the Beth Israel sisterhood in the He- brew Institute, said: "The key to religious JudiaSm and Jewish edu- cation of the young lies in the hand of Jewish women"
 What she regards herShelf, what she will be, these will be the des- tiny of the next generation, said the speaker. Industrialism prom ises no relaxation but offers instead an intensification of mans ener- gies. Because of this, school life and the tenor of public life will come to depend more upon the woman. If Judiasm is to survive in this land, said Rabbi Sheinkopf, the Jew isn woman must again play 8 his toric role in Jewish life.
 The meeting was opened by Mrs. Nathan Rosenberg, president of Beth Israel sisterhood. Abraham $. Fucker acted as toastmaSter.
 Other speakers on the program included: Simon Goldman, preSl- dent of the Beth Israel synagog; Morris Siller, chairman of the cul- tural committee of the synagog; Mrs. Rosenberg, and Mrs. Moses B. Sheinkopf, wife of Rabbi Shein- kopf.
 Morris B. Kaplan, Harry Stro- gatz, and Maurice Gelman ren- dered vocal selections and led in conversational singing.

 She even keeps secret that she's going to have baby, when she learns he is going to marry a society girl. But despite her sacrifice and clear thinking she can't forget him and that leads to the absorbing climax of the picture when, years later, she has to choose between running off with him or marrying a young doctor whom she respects but hasn't loved.

TREE SERVICINC
 RECRUITS SOUGHT
Permanent Positions As= sured By Nationally
 Known Company

With national defense work so much in the inrelight these days, many desirable employment oppor- tunities in peacetime industries are going thrilled because of a lack of attentiveness on the part of the job-Seeker.
 This is particularly true ill the field of servicing shade trees, ac- cording to Martin L. Davey, former governor of Ohio, and president of the Davey Tree Expert company, Kent. Ohio.
 MT. Davey says that while the tree servicing work is necessarily strenuous, 1t offers permanent po- sitions and rapid advancement and the attractive prospect of extensive travel to those who can qualify.
 And I must add," MT. Dayey says, that no employment is more healthful." Just now the, company is conducting it's annual campaign for recruits in it's school of tree service. Application is made by writing to the Dayey company at Kent.
 The present head of the Davey company, now the largest tree servicing company in the world, organize dthe business founded by his father, the late John Davey, in to an enterprise of nationwide proportions. The father wrote a book setting forth his theories on tree care that han an instant ap- peal. The son left college to peddle these books, and was so fired by the possibilities offered through a tree service, he took over the busi- ness and made it highly successful. Once the company was firmly es- tablisfled, Martin Davey entered politics, first as mayor of Kent. Then for nine years he served as a congressman after which he was governor of Ohio tor four years.

vised or released as scheduled on Feb. 15 is a matter which probably will be settled by one of the bit- terest undercove- campaigns in the history of Mcvietown shenanigans.
 Early developments point to a campaign of suppression. A Hol- lywood trade paper which previ- ously praised Welles suddenly blasted hin editorially as a costly failure and menace to Holly woods progress. But no charges were made which could be an- swered by Welles. Meanwhile the film colony hears the powerful head of major studio has thrown his full weight against release of the picture fir the best interests of the whole industry"
 Welles has said all along he was not referring to the veteran pub fisher. He las insisted he was only delineating an American type, a composite of the iapulous few who rose to great wealth and enormous power early in this country.

been given as to what causes ab- normal behavior. He hopes to lm- earth some ideas that will throw light on these puzzling human breakdownS.
 This psychologist, Dr. Norman R. F. Maier, has some $50 rats in a special laboratory. There he is at- tempting to make for his rats frus- trating situations which parallel those of humans, making careful study of all reactions.
 He has found that some of these little animals have severe break downs when they are placed in a situation which produced conflict. These are situations where the anil nal must act, but it cannot act as it has been doing ill the past. All of its previous ways of getting out of a conflicting situation no longer work, and it is thrown into a panic ill its attempts to get out of the dilemma.
 Dr. Maier has found that these panics or breakdowns are produced easier in some animals than in oth- CTS, and that there may be a ten dency for the breakdowns to run in families. He has also found that some animals have much more Se- rious disorders when confronted | with the same illustrations than do other animals-again, as with hu- mans.
 Dr. Mainer and his assistants care for their 300-odd rats almost like babies. Every day the animals are | given a mixture of some six foods, and on Wednesdays and Sundays, special dinners of salmon are served.
 The rats live in a large room away from all outside noises. Rows of spotless steel cages line one side of the room, each built in stories like apartment houses, and each apartment housing families of about four rats. Each apartment has a floor of fresh cedar shavingS and a drinking fountain-Small amounts of iodine crystals are added to the water occasionally to aid the thyroid glands of these well-cared for anil mals.
 These rats, like all laboratory anil malS, are tame, and they are much like the white rats children some- times have for pets. When Dr Maier walks past the row of cages, the friendly animals crowd to the front and make interesting clicking noises which suggest the purring of kittens. The animals that are hav- ing experimental breakdoWns, how ever, stay in back corners of the apartments and show no interest either in people or in other rats.
 Some of the apartments have spe- cial apparatus under their floors SC that an automatic record of the activity of the ones living there may be made.
 pr. Maier has always had deep interest in people and their mis- fortunes, so his study of the un- deriving causes of their break downs is natural step. He often visits in slum communities, his sym pathetic blue eyes observing all the misfortunes there as closely as he watches the experiments in his lab- oratory.

HARRISON IN HOLLYWOOD
BY PAUL HARRISON CNEA Service Stan Correspondent

HolIywood-It looks as if Man from-Mars Orson Welles has struck again. this time spreading panic among some of the jumpy -nerved citizens of Hollywood.
 The movie colony might have suspected that the past two years were an ominously quiet period in the normally eventful life of Or son Welles, even with all the pro-and controversy which have buzzed around him and his long delayed picture, Citizen Kane" " But nobody knew the nature or extent of the excitement that was brewing.
 It may not sound exactly mo- mentous when it is explained that a publisher named William Ram dolph Hearst seems to have taken notion. that young Welles has been impersonating him in a movie.
 But there's more to it than that. Plenty. It may mean Orson WelleS' career.
 A CHILLY
 ATMOSPHERE
 It is likely to put quite 8 strain one the collective courage of the motion picture industry, several executives of which already are hiding in bomb-proof shelters or behind impregnable walls of silence
 It is likely to bring Welles through his familiar medium ot the radio, into vocal opposition to 8 silent array of Hearst influence
 Recently, when national mag azine came out with story and pictures pointing unfaltering par allels between the story of Citi- zen Kane and the career of w. R. Hearst, a couple of attorneys, one of whom is an officer in the Harst corporation, appeared in the RKC studios and were allowed to view a rough cut of the film.
 The atmosphere in the projec- tion room during the showing was grim enough to have given an attack of the bends to ordinary people.
 Immediately afterward, though the representatives of MT. Hearst sprang into action and began pull ing wires with the speed of 8 troupe fo carillion players. Il soon became clear that every inn portant figure in the industry was being asked to aid in the squelch- ing of Citizen Kane" and George Schaefer, president of RKO, who has been 8 staunch supporter oi the trouble-wooing Welles.
 That was when quite a few o1 the boys went home with chilL and fever or sped to hideouts ir the desert.
