It's our not-so-confidential opin-
ion that too many important stars
won't wear glasses on the screen be-
cause they believe it spoils their ap-
pearance. Working constantly un-
der intense lights, a majority of
Hollywood players have become
near-sighted. The moment they get
off the set on go the specs.

Of other comparatively youthful ex-
perts at make believe wear glasses
for reading. Many don them for
street wear.
Much of the anti-spectacles feel
ing has been engendered by studio
heads, who think it's bad business
for a star to be seen wearing glasses
on the street A few years ago a
major studio imported a beautiful
starlet from England, but executives
were annoyed no end when they saw
her walking up and down the lot
wearing specs. The big boss decided
to have a heart-to-heart talk with
the newcomer. She answered the
summons, climbing flight of wood
en- steps to his sanctum.
She was told that in Hollywood
the stars didn't wear glasses on the
street, whether they needed them
or not. I'VE don't want our ac-
tresses to look like school ma ans,
said Mr.. Big. Suppose some one
saw you at Ciro's looking like that
The girl obediently took off her
glasses and put them in her purse.
AS she left the boss office, she stum-
bled on the first step and fell all the
way down. A broken leg was the
result. The actress never appeared
in a picture, hasn't been heard from
since.

NaZiS Force Jewish
War Prisoners To
Dig Own Graves

LISBON, (JTA)-Between 300
and 400 Jewish war prisoners are
being executed each day by the
Nazis in the prison camp at
Chelm, it is reported in a letter
written by a German soldier, con-
firming the fact that the German
military authorities are executing
all Jewish war prisoners taken on
the Soviet front.
The letter, written by the SOL
der to his relatives in Germany
and struggled to Lisbon by a de-
'vious route, describes conditions
at the Chelm camp. The soldier
writes: Naturally we are not
treating the prisoners too gently.
If they will have to stay here
through the winter, half of them
will die. Jewish prisoners are
shot on the spot. They must first
dig their own graves, then five of
them are bound together so that
all fall into the pit at the same
time. About 300 to 400 of these
executions take place daily"

Danish Students
Hail BrandeS
Despite Nazis

London (JPS)-Scorning the OPP
position Of Danish Nazis, liberal
students of the little country
which was overrun by the Ger
mans when the Nazis struck sud-
denly against Norway, celebrated
the Tooth anniversary of the birth
of George Brandes, born Morris
Cohen, noted Danish critic and
philosopher.
Meeting in the University of
Copenhagen, the students marked
the fete with a rousing memorial
to Brandes' contribution to Euro
pean culture and the contribution
of his people to world civilization.
Although Nazi authorities had
previously attempted to intimidate
and hush up any celebrations in
the critics memory as 'hurtful to
Berlin's feeling" speakers and
audience alike made Brandes'
Jewish origin the take-off for
support of Denmark's Jews and
inter-racial solidarity despite adj
verse Nazi pressure.

Anf-Semitic
Groups

New York (JPS)-That the Dies

and the Silver Shirts as well as
men like Charlie COughIin is
charged by the National Lawyers
Guild, which has petitiOned Con-
gress to refuse further apprOpria-
tons to the Dies Committee.
The Guild asserts that on 20
different occasions Congressman
Martin Dies has refused to expose
Nazi and Fascist activities brought
to the attention of his committee.
Pointing out that the Committee
has attacked as subversive Presi-
dent Roosevelt, Price Administra-
tor Leon Henderson and Supreme
Court Justice Frank Murphy and
has shielded Coughlin and Fascist
groups, the Guild advocates that
the Dies Committee be ended.

were those of the dead people,
dragged in and out of the county

the auditorium, denied there was
any racial segregation in the usual
