IT HAPPENED
THIS WEEK
RY MILTON BROWN. JTA'

With the Battle for Egypt con-
tinuing and going badly for the
Axis, the German radio stations
have been resuming their broad
casts to the Arabs telling them
what fine friends the Nazis are.
The Arabs are a superior race
lust like the Nazis themselves,
the brOadcasters have been say
ing.
We do not think the Arabs will
like the compliment-especially
right now when the Nazis in
Egypt are on the run.
THE BIRTH OF FASCISM
This month two anniversaries
are being celebrated. 1t is the
twentieth anniversary of the be-
ginning of Fascism. just two
decades ago this week, MussOlini's
Black Shirts started their march.
After twenty years MussOIini has
nothing to show the Italians ex-
cept less spaghetti and more
casualties.
PALESTINE
In Palestine the Mapoi, the
Jewish Labor Party of Palestine,
was holding one of it's stormiest
SESSIONS. Ben-Gurion is being
challenged. There are elements
N the organization that do not
like the Administration policy.
It would be very bad if any seri-
pus harm came to the Jewish
Labor Party as a result.
EUROPE
The liberal British newspaper,
he Manchester Guardian, this
week estimated that ''almOst two
nilliOn Jews have already been
destroyed in Nazi-Occupied Eu-
Ope, excluding those massacred
n the parts of occupied Russia"
Of the original 100000 Jews in
Germany in 1888, there are only
5000 left, it declares.
OF this remnant there came a
eminder this week in a pitifuI
all by the aged Chief Rabbi Of
Germany, DIR. Leo Back. In a.
tatement to the Jews of Ger
nany, published in the organ of
ne German Jewish community,
he Rabbi says that now that the
erman Jews are isolated from
le rest of the world, they must
epend on one another.
The statement is merely a cry
the darkness. What other
cans of relieving grief no longer
e found, there is some satisfac-
on in crying.
The Chief Rabbi, despite the
eight of his age, has several
mes been arrested by the Ge-
apo.
Inc same paper which carries
message of the Chief Rabbi
so carries a Nazi decree, order
the Jews of Germany to sur
noer all electrical household
upment, including flat irons,
CUM cleaners, stoves and mir
RS.
10 what baroness must these
WISH homes without stoves,
tnOut even a mirror be reduc-
To the baroness of collins?
icy are the living dead, these
rman Jews.
TO SIBERIA
II is pleasant to turn from con-
nplation to a report from
pOyshev, telling of the success
resettlement of thousands of
Wish evacuees from the Ukraine
On land in the Soviet interior.

BY WIN MALONEY

AT WILEY GYM last night many
over-excited hoop fans saw the fas.
Crosby Reserves beat the Naugy
team by slim margin of Sc to 49,.
Both teams played their best and
that 3-point loss is not a very black
spot on Naugy's record. Some will
say they lost and that's all that
counts, but basically, that is only
one-half the way to the set goal
The other half is the fight that this
team put up, and this was certainly
evident in last nights game. All
Naugy needs is little more speed
and little more cooperation.
I AS THE CLOCK struck 8 the regu-
lars of Crosby and Naugy hoopmen
put on a show that was we'll worth
seeing. Beginning in the first per-
iod Crosby forged out in front aft
er Naugy had made the first basket
on a foul. But then in the first of
the second through the first part
of the third period the Naugy hoop
men had things pretty much their
own way. This was evident because
every time Naugy had the ball down
in their opponents territory, they
would make a hoop. At this time
Furs and Rely were the two boys
who really put that Naugy team
through its PAGES, by making basket
after basket.
FINALLY, in the last of the 3rd,
Kelly and Fisher recovered and the
Crosby boys could not be stopped.
On the offensive, Reynolds and
Be1anger played as good a game as
any of the first rate players of any
high school team. While D'Agostino,
Kelly and Fisher in the last 5 min
utes diminished the 5-point Naugy
lead to win by score of al to "a.
Furs, Riley and Thurston were the
players for Naugy who showed ex-
ceptional skill in the game last eve
ming.
I GUESS the jinx that says,
Crosby can't beat Naugy," won't
hold water after last night and if
one certain Naugatuck fan wants
me to eat his hat for predicting a
Crosby victory, suggest he try his.
THIS VICTORY puts Crosby in
second place because Harding and
Torrington are tied for first and
can't agree on place to play, so
it was decided to be left a tie. If
they want my opinion, think it's
pretty poor craftsmanship.
ON SATURDAY night Crosby
faces Leavenworth for a second
time and after this win over Naugy.
ought to have an easy time downing
this opponent.

BOROUGH Gets
41-34 SETBACK
AT W|LBY GYM
Last Period Drive Wins for
Locals; Fisher Scores
Is, Dunn Is

Playing "heads up" basketball for
three of the four periods of the
game, Crosby high schools 1941-42
hoop combination clinched third
place in the Naugatuck Valley
League with Al to "a victory over
Naugatuck last night at Wildly gym.
The two teams were tied for the
third slot in the loop standing, and,
when they came together, gave the
large crowd of fans something to
cheer about with nip and tuck
game that was very much worth
while watching.
Only in the second period, did
the Crosby attack bog down. as but
one point was scored, allowing
Naugatuck to come through with an
eleven point barrage and walk off
the floor, 10 to 10 leaders at half
time. Fisher, one of the two Crosby
co-captains was the most effective
player on the floor with eight field
goals and pair of free losses for
an 10 point contribution to a most
worthy cause. Crosby put on a drive
of its own in the third heat, coming
to life with a IS point attack that
had the teams but one point apart
going into the fourth and last quar-
terS
Individuals
AS expected, Naugatuck's Dunn,
Furs and Reilly were very much in
the ball game, scoring 10, 9 and
points in that order; while Crosby's
captain Kelly put in with II mark
ers, D'Agostino and Reynolds add
ing 9 more between them. Naugy
got the first points of the game, two
free losses by Dunn, but Crosby got
going quickly and owned II to
edge, five OF which were made by
Fisher.
In the last period, Naugy tried
hard as usual, but could not locate
the hoops with any accuracy, all
lowing Crosby to come on, finish
strong and win out with a sweet
victory that not only squared the
series between the teams, but gave
the Stockholders third place in the
Valley League for keeps and will
help to send them into the state
tournament really confident club
that may surprise ii it has not been
burned out" by it's recent efforts
against Harding and Naugy.

YANKEES EXPECT

Cash Donations 'Up to
Directors" Says Ed Bar
row; Prick Talks
BY OSCAR FRALEY

United Press Staff Correspondent
New York, Feb. 19.-(UP)-The
New York Yankees fell partially in
line today with the war effort pro-
gram of the Brooklyn Dodgers but
National League President Ford
Prick deprecated the Flatbush plan
as much ado about nothing.
Ed Barrow, Yankee president, yes
terday announced a war; time pro-
gram which was almost identical
with one disclosed earlier this week
by the Dodgers.
The world champions, he said,
would be host to 5000 uniformed
men at each of their II home games
total of $4,000 service men admit
ted free during the season. Barrow
also disclosed that the Yanks had
notified National Physical Education
Director John B. Kelly that coaches,
players and scouts would be avail
able for instruction calls, personal
appearances and any other civilian
duty asked by army and navy off,
Gals.
Yanks At Camps
Eve also will play at camps dur
ing the spring training season and
on off days during the regular sea-
son if we are asked to do so by gov
eminent officials, SO long as the
fields are in playing condition, -
Barrow said.
The Yanks-along with other ma
jor league teams-will pay 10 per
cent of officials salaries in defense
bonds
Also, the Dodgers and their 10
farm clubs will purchase defense
bonds and stamps 100 per cent
president to bat boys-and donate
facilities of radio accounts, bill
boards, loud speakers and score
cards, to promote such sales. They
also will donate receipts of one day
at Ebbets Field and one road game
to national service agency.
Barrow, asked whether the Yanks
would donate any receipts to such
an agency, said that this "is up to
our directors"
One New Idea
Prick said that nearly everything
Larry MacPhail has announced for
the Dodgers has been adopted by
all other clubs in the major leagues"
There is one new proposition in
the Brooklyn program" Prick as
serted. 1T is the intention to donate
the proceeds of one league game to
war charity. Perhaps other clubs also
have this in mind but he Is the first
to express his plan.
1T is not practicable to ask eight
clubs in league to adopt COM
mon scheme of the sort announced
by Brooklyn. There are varying fl
nancial capacities. For example,
John Jones donates $1,000 to the
Red Cross but Joe Smith can give
only Sand with greater sacri-
flee than that made by Jones'"
