Refugee Immigra'

Percent Lower

An estimated number of $500
Jewish refugees have arrived in
the United States in the four
months since new visa control
regulations were put into effect by
Washington on July LIST, it is re-
ported by the National Refugee
Service. About 1000 of these
came in October, while $500 ar
rived in July, August, and Sep

1t was pointed out that the Z
500 refugees who managed to
escape to the United States in
the last four months, despite all
the difficulties of emigration, rep
resent a number only rs percent
below the refugee immigration for
the same period last year when
there were fewer obstacles to
overcome.

to bring it into? And Avram
talked on and explained that if
the children of Israel were to
know a better future, why they
had to be born first. Jewish par
ents were not receiving bonuses
for the production of offspring; it
was too holy a mitzvah, too i'm
portant task, to be compensated
by money.
And the funny part of it all was
that until the time he heard his
lips uttering those words, Avram
had hardly realized the import
ance of what he said.
The two stopped walking; they
were in front of schul; one
thought had occurred to them
both. Without a word, without a
nod, hands clasped tightly, they
entered and asked the rabbi to
marry them Hands clasped
and their spirits a little lighter,
thew walked off into the distance,
exalted at the idea that they had
within their power the creation OF
a raw in Israers sun of the fu-
turo,

,odies that are feeble, the spirits
thot are low-of what import to
+hem is the brightness of the sun
~ the freshness of the air? They
are still cornered like rats in the
hold of slowly sinking ship.
There is no escape, there is no re-
c,,rgence of hope. Time is all that
matters: for it is time and time
alone that brings the cure-all for
ALL
So when the dawn comes, Jews
of the the ghetto indulge in wish
full thinking; perhaps today they
will be the fortunate ones, per-
haps they will join their ancestors
and follow the road along with
the rest of Israel"
It was early in the morning
when a Nazi armoured car lumb-
cred up lazily to the gates of the
ghetto. The sentry on duty sa-
lutod smartly, for it isn't often
that Nazi officials of any rank
pay a visit to the ghetto. The
automobile came to a halt very
pompously. Two agents of the
Gestapo, recognizable by their
military poise and civilian clothes,
/ dragged out a sickly-looking
youth, an unmistakable Polish
Jew. He was stood up on his two
feet, for any fool was able to see
that the poor boyle couldn't
have been more than nineteen
was either too exhausted or too
weak to stand without assistance.
CURLY the two agents let it be
known that the youth, Avram
Kapelsky, was a new addition to
the ghetto; that he was to be
watched carefully for he was a
dangerous sabateur; and that he
was not to be allowed to die, for
it seemed that the commanding
officer of the Warsaw section
owed a personal debt to the boys
dead father, and that was the only
reason that Avram Kapelsky
hadn't been put to death long be-
fore this.
All said, done, and arranged in
a matter of seconds. In short
order the youth was showed
across the threshold of the ghetto
gates, the sentry saw to it that
the ghetto's Jewish Council, the
Kehillah, was informed of the
new arrival, and the matter was
terminated. The young German
sentry-probably not much older
than Kapelsky- resumed his pac-
ing to and fro, all the while think
ing about the wise words of the
Fuehrer concerning inferior races
and the need for their eXtermina-
ton in the Germany Of Tomorrow.
Avram Kapelsky awoke with a
start. The last he remembered
was falling on a sidewalk after
being pushed forcibly through a
gateway. And now where was he?
Who were those hungry-looking
people all around him? Who
were these old and whitening Jews
with flowing boards? Where was
he?
A sad-looking man with a pale
face patted and soothed the boys
forehead. Avram had fever and
ne needed rest and quiet if he were
to recover, for those were the only
medical supplies they had to Of
Ter him. The ghetto Of Warsaw,
that's where he was, the ghetto :. {.
It took a little time before it all

young man is not the best medium

But, wait: one of the old men was
speaking. He was saying some
