Responsibility for All Jewery Will Fall Upon American
Jews, Dr. Abram Sachar Tells Fifth District nal rh
Youth Must Be
Trained For
Leadership

1.-THE mantle Of responsibility
for world Jewry previously worn
by Palestine, then Babylon, Rus
STA, Poland, Germany, France and
England, now falls upon the
shoulders of American Jews" DR..
Abram Sachar, national direc-
tor of the Hillel Foundations of
B'nai Birth, told an audience of
over 600 visitors, delegates and
guests to the seventy fifth annual
convention of the fifth district
grand Lodge of B'nai Birth Mon
day night in the George Washing
ton Hotel Main Ballroom.
DR.. Sachar was introduced by
Joseph M. Glickstein, master of
ceremonies. Speaking for the
fifth time during the convention
DR.. Sachar told the assemblage
that as the responsibility of world
affairs falls upon the shoulders
of the government and the pople
of the United States, so does the
responsibility for the Jews of the
world rest upon American Jewish
shoulders. And even as no new
leaders of world affairs can arise
from the conquered or victorious
countries of Europe at the end Of
the present war, so will crushed
European Jewry look to the Unit
ed States for leadership. 1--WE
must train our youth for leader
ship" DR.. Sachar said.
Hillel, he said, was not acct
dentally begun when foreign i'm
migration to these shores was
stopped in 1928, and 1924. But
the leaders of the order under
stood that with the stoppage of
new blood to the life stream of
American Jewry American Jews
must look to its young people to
carry on the Jewish banner. IF
we allow this generation to arise
without any understanding of it's
heritage and its responsibilities
our people will suffer from per-
nicious armenia that will be worse
than Hitler's planned extermina-
ton of the Jews. Our worst
enemy is not external violence,
but internal hemmorage," he said.
New Officers Elected
Preceding DR.. Sachar's address
the newly elected officers of the
district were introduced.
Emanuel Lewis of Savannah,
Ca, long active in fraternal,
civic and patriotic activities in
the South, was elected president.

.Kaplan Says Jewish
Life Needs New
Foundation

New York (JPS)-Speaking at
dinner in honor of his Goth
birthday and his 40 years of lead
ership in the Jewish religious and
educational life of America, DR..
Mordecai Kaplan, founder Of
"Reconstructionism declared here
before more than 900 civic, COM

REPORT OF JEWS
UNDER JAPAN
REACHES EUROPE

LISBON (JTA)-The first au-
thentic report since the Japanese
attack on Pearl Harbor depicting
the situation of the more than
10000 Jewish refugees in Shanhai
under Japanese control reached
the Hias-Ica office here this week.
The report states that the num-
Der of Jewish refugees refugees
in Shanghai who depend on relief
has grown from 1000 before ia
pan attacked Pearl Harbor to A.
900 at present. This, the report
explains, is due to the fact that
a third of the Jewish refugees in
the city lost their livelihood after
Japan's entry into war against
the United States.

TT HAPPENED
THIS WEEK
RY MILTON BROWN, JTA

HEYDRICH, HIMMLER, HAMAN
The man who is sometimes call
pd-and with good reasOn-Ger-
many's Hangman, the notorious
Reinhard Heydrich, this week was
the target of an assassin. Hey
drich is HimmIer's first assistant
and when no one quite as cruel as
HimmIer himself could be found,
Heydrich was sure to be sent for.
Among the anti-Semites of his
tOry he stands well in the fore
ground along with Hannah and
Hitler.
ANTI-FASCIST JEWISH RALLY
More illustrations of the new
order" which Nazism signifies
came from the great anti-Fascist
Jewish rally held in Moscow dur
Ing the week. In Vitebsk, accord
ing to the account recited at this
meeting, several thousand Jewish
men, women and children were
loaded into leaking boats on the
Dwinna River, and then guns
were turned on the boats, killing
thousands and leaving the others
to drown.
ZIONIST "FRONT"
On the Zionist 'front.'" there
were interesting developments this
week. Indeed, there was excite
ment in London. The great Brit
iSh BrOadcasting Company found
itself in an embarrassing position
as a result of an address made
over the B. b. G. by Lord Wedg-
wood. In this address, the Labor
lite member of the House of Lords
demanded that America take over
the Palestine Mandate. America,
he said, would convert Palestine
into another free land with open
doors and open hearts," He
openly accused the British admin
istratiOn in Palestine of being
biased against Jews.
WEDGWOOD
There was good deal of COM
motion over the address. England,
1t may be believed, is a little
touchy about surrendering any
thing from her Empire just now.
She has been sensitive of the talk
in Australia about that country
joining up" with the United
States, she sees Singapore lost
and Burma lost. She sees herself
shrinking away, and the Wedg-
wood speech won't calm her.
But WedgwOOd has always been
a very stannch friend of ZiOnism
and the WedgwOOd family has al
ways been rather OutSpOken. In
tne American Revolutionary days,
tnere was an ancestor of the la
DOrlte member of Parliament with
the same given name, Josiah
"edgOwOd, who took the Ameri-
can side of the fight with Eng
land at that time.
GOOD NEWS
But of course, it is by no means
certain that the United States
would take over the mandate for
PALESTINE even if Britain surrend-
RED it. Yet this week, the Zion
iSts did have good news as far as
Tie American government was
concerned. At the American
ralestine Commute dinnr, Sena-
eor Wagner read a letter from
resident Roosevelt indicating
ing sympathy with Zionist aspir-
atoms.
AS you know" the President
states in his letter, 81 have on
several occasions expressed my
."'ereSt in the efforts of those seek
ing TO establish a Jewish national
nome in Palestine. 1 think that
"o all take renewed encourage
Ment in the fact that the imme-
uaee military danger to Palestine
"lucn existed some time ago has

Also Is A
Weapon!

American ingenuity has been SO
applied to transport that reports

quarters today provided a blue
print on successful car-pooling
methods that are widely adapta-
bic. -'-..-
Labor Management committees
working for greater production Of
planes, tanks, guns and sips have
reported that the task of working
out systems for al pooling plays
a vital part in getting all em-
ployees to work on time every
day. Many of the largest war
plants are not on main street car
and bus lines and private thans-
portation is the only means many
employees have of getting to work.
AS irreplacable tires wear out,
and gasoline becomes scarcer, the
sharing of rides is the only means
of transportation.
Many ingenious methods are be-
ing devised to further car pool
ing.

Membership
Means
Business!

The membership of the Master
Electric Local 754 is asking for q
Union shop in their contract ne
gotiations. The plant at Maste,
is well organized, and there is a
feeling among the workers that
only the installation of a Union
shop will completely harmonic
the workers and management in
their negotiations.
The membership meetings have
been unusually well attended, in
dicating that Union benefits have
aroused q deeper interest in or
ganization during this year.
The following members were
elected Sunday, May "a, 1912:
Recording Secretary, Mildred
Milholland; Financial Secretary,
Lester Fahnestock; Board Of

Views
and
Reviews

It has been called to my atten-
ton that the Housing situation
in Dayton has become increasing
ly severe during the past few
weeks. The crowded conditions
and exhorbitant rents are the
cause of great concern among the
War workers of our industrial
plants.
If it is true that this condition
is aggravated by certain selfish
groups of political leaders and real
estate men, it strikes me as though
the group who have the most
to lose in this war, should have
more respect for those who are
defending them.
Letters Of protest against these
conditions are very effective at
all times, and particularly at
such a time as this! Soon there
will be an election and various
candidates will be elected to
important positions. We are ask
ing for Victory candidates. BY
such candidates, we mean men
who will stage an about cam
paign for WINNING THIS WAR!
What is more important IN the
winning of this War, than the
health and living conditions of the
men and women who are produc-
ing the materials that are so
necessary to our armed forces?

"The fight for real collective

OUT iron CdSLulSS ZOE WI
Not long ago the company was
given a wal order for 10000 units.
Production went quietly along at
the rate of 5000 a month.
Last month a Joint labor-man-
agement committee was set up
in the plant. Production Of the
vitally-needed war material inn
mediately skyrocketed to 5,796
units.
Wherever organized labor has
been given a voice in production
councils-whereever joint labor
management committees have
been set up-war production has
increased.
Pennsylvania, with 100 labor
management committees, leads all
states. Ohio is second with So such
committees. New York is third
with 70; and New Jersey fourth
with AZ.
Labor management councils
have long been a basic aim of
both the CLIO and the AFL. Both
Philip Murray, president of the
Clio and William Green, president
of the AFL, have urged members
of their organizations to set up
joint production councils where
eve possible.
There's just one word to win,
the w~ar-teamwork," said a CIO
spokesman. "That is what labor
management production CON-
mittees are and what they are for.
with their functioning thru
out the country, in every plant,
shipyard and job, and with the
representatives of management
and labor placing the war effort
above every other consideration,
and calling upon government to
settle each difference of opinion
as may arise, these committees
represent the real spearhead of
the home front offensive against
Hitler"
Joint committees provide the
machinery for exchange of ideas
and suggestions to promote COM
mittees, according TO President
Green of the AFL.
One of the outstanding examples
of the success of the labor-man-
agement council idea was marked
up this month in Buffalo, N. Y.
After the point committee was
organized, a Buffalo foundry re-
ported that production during
March was the largest in the COM
pany's history and was almost
500 higher than a year ago.

WLB Praises The
Labor Press

E1IllcIACd AdOOE press, C1AS 1aI~
gest in the world, has done a
magnificent job" in keeping its
readers informed on the basic
issues of labor-management re-
lations during wartime, William
H. Davis, chairman of the Nation
al War Labor Board, told 100
labor press editors at a dinner
eliminating a day-long confer
ence of labor editors in New York
City.
The conference, first of several
which will be held in various sec
tons of the country, was called
by the WPB Labor Division and
the NY State Labor Press Associa-
ton.
The daily press was criticised
by Robert Horton, chief of DEM
Information Division for the man
ner in which it has handled labor
news. Horton characterized many
of the industrialists who have ap-
peared before the War Labor
Board as completely unrealistic"
and condemned the attack by
Sen. Byrd on the governments
publicity efforts as dishonest
criticism"
The new and vastly increased
productivity of American indus
try must be kept going for the
common good after the war is
over, Horton said, for if it is not
within IL months time we may
have the man on the white horse
whom we have been fighting
off =.
Afternoon sessions of the con-
ference were devoted to discus
sion of technical problems con-
fronting labor editors civilian
morale, the war production drive,
minorities, wages, prices and pro-
fits, and the government Informal
ton services. Government repre-
sentatives and labor editors led
the discussion on each topic fol-
lowed by general discussion.
Peace comes to those ON Gods side!

Notes
Message from ALI HSP Stewards
to HSP Workers In various
parts of the plant there has been
grumbling going on, and yet the
dissatisfactions have not been
brought to us in the form of
grievances. WHENEVER YOU
HAVE ANY TROUBLE, COME
TO YOUR STEWARD SO that the
matter can be settled! No HSP
worker has to put up with any
thing on his job that he feels is
unsatisfactory, but in order for
the Union to get a settlement, al
must be filed. The
has to live up to its
side of the contract, and in any
case where it is not abiding by
the agreement it's YOUR job
to report the matter to your
steward!
Grievances do get results! A
of the Guards has just
been settled. From now on Guards
will receive double time for Sun
day!
In the interest of better and
more War Production the
company has guaranteed that any
who thinks up a way to
turn out his production faster
WILL NOT HAVE HIS PIECE

Marriage and Bobies'
Topic at Church Mission.
Priest Stresses Seriousness
of WedIoek as voeotion

The Mission at st. Peters
Church continues to attract q
large congregation of women,
this being the women's week.
Last night Father Basil Doyle,
c. E. p. spoke on the topic:
Marriage and Babies"
Marriage is a vocation" he
said, mot merely way to Sc
cure a comfortable living and a
certain social standing. It is a
vocation just as truly as is the
religious life in a convent or
monastery. 1t has certain def
mite duties entailed which clear
ly mark the road TO heaven.
Different from the religious
life, however, it involves a part
ner, in the most intimate union
in life, and the character of the
partner may make or mar the
success of the whole venture.
Hence, care and prayer ought
to be exercised in the choice of
mate, remembering that q
smooth surface is often a delu-
sion and a snare. In the days of
courtship people are on dress
parade. After marriage the false
front is dropped and one comes
face to face with realities, and
sometimes the.' are pretty ugly.
The handsome, well hammered
young man may easily turn out
to be incorporate and as favor
ing a pluralit yof wives. The
tenderness and sweetness of a
young woman may be only a
