Try To Burn
Synagogue For
Fourth Time

New York (JPS)-'There are a
lot of Nazis on Staten Island"
Rabbi Isaac A. Miller of Temple
Emanuel of Port Richmond,
Staten Island, told detectives, in
explaining the fires which broke
out simultaneously in the syna-
gogue and his home. Walls of the
house of worship and the Rabbits
home had been soaked in kero-
sene and the Fire Marshal's office
charged that the fire had been
set deliberately. This was the
fourth such incident in the last
two years.
Rabbi Miller said that it was his
belief that the flames had been
started by Staten Island Nazis,
who had been angered over his
anti-Nazi articles which had ap-
peared in a local newspaper. He
has also spoken widely against
the Nazis.

London Urged To
Allow Food To
Jews In Poland

LONDON (JTA)-A dramatic
appeal to the British government
to permit shipments of food to
the starving Jews in the Polish
ghettos, similar to those recently
sent to Greece, was voiced here
this week at session of the Board
of Deputies of British Jews.
The appeal was made by H. A.
Goodman, member of the Board
and spokesman for the world eX-
ecutive of the orthodox Agudas
Israel organization. He requested
the Board of Deputies to approach
the British Government in connec-
ton with securing such permits
sion. Starvation among Jews in
the Polish ghettos is as bad as
that existing in Greece, he pointed
out. Goodman added that he had
good reasons to believe that the
Polish Government would support
such request. He was assured
by Prof. Selig Brodetsky, presi-
dent of the Board, that the matter
would be vigorously pursued.

tions of Jews in occupied coun-
tries. The reply assures Brodetsky
that "the governments taking part
in the Conference are bearing in
mind the persecution suffered by
the Jewish population in Europe.
The Polish government in particu-
lar does not admit any differen-
tiation between the wrongs done
Polish citizens of whatever origin
or creed. The nine governments
have pledged themselves to assure
just retribution, and the claims of
the Jews will receive considera-
ton at subsequent meetings of the
Conference"

Jews In Bulgaria
Ordered To Sell
All Property

ZURICH (JTA)All Jewish-own-
ed buildings in Bulgaria except
those occupied by the owner for
his own residence, must be sold to
non-Jews before the end of this
year, according to a decree issued
by the Bulgarian government and
published in the Donau Zeitung
which reached here this week.
The decree is part of the land
reform act in Bulgaria which bars
Jews from owning land. Foreign
citizens, under this decree, will not
be permitted to purchase the
Jewish buildings unless they Sc
cure a special authorization from
the Bulgarian authorities.
In permitting Jews to retain the
houses in which they live, the de-
cree stipulates that the Jewish
owners must under no circum-
stances secure any income from
the apartments. The value Of the
houses which Jews are permitted
to retain as their personal dwell
ings is also regulated by the de-
cree.

MICHAEL WEIZMANN MISSING
From abroad, there comes to us
tragic note but one showing how
well Jews are doing their part.
Michael Weizmann, son of DR..
Weizmann of Zionist fame, is
missing as the result of an activ-
ty over the Atlantic. It is a griev-
Ously sad loss. Suppose in his
young manhood the father of
Michael had met his fate. The
world would have been much
poorer. Michael Weizmann, it is
said, was the son who most re-
Eembled the Zionist chieftain. He
had brilliant record in chemistry
at college and the world and
Jewry might have looked to Mi
chael Weizmann to ultimately
take the place of his distinguished
father.
The picture of the war this
week was not a pleasant one.
Japan has made gains perhaps
more striking than those of Hitler
in his best days and topping this,
come whispers that the democratic
nations are almost cOnceding the
loss of the Near East as well. At
least, such was the import of a
reported statement of VIM. G. Bull
hit, just returned from the Near
East, where he went as the spe-
cal envoy of the President.
According to Drew Pearson and
Robert S. Allen, the well known
cOlumnists and radio commenta-
tors, Bullitt's report was every
pesslmistic. It was his opinion
mat the Nazis will take not only
