In a letter to DR.. Simon FEEDER

wrote:

Jews in Finland are altogether false
and without any foundation in fact.
The allegation that the Jewish
citizens of Finland are in danger
of determination by deportation to
Poland is completely baseless and
untrue, as they enjoy all the rights
and privileges guaranteed by the
constitution to every citizen of Fin

consequently, cannot be deported to

other resolution the following
month specifically saying that it
was not seeking "recreational equip
ment."
Joseph L. Bockovac, chairman Of
the associations School Grounds
Committee, said he understood
there would be 1000 children in
the temporary building, attending
in two shifts. He estimated that
the playground space. located be-
tween the temporary school. and
the occupied part of the property,
would be about so feet by ITO.

said, called for grading, seeding and

Says Whole Site Needed.
Asked whether Fort Greble area
would not compensate for the bal

insisted that the whole site should
be used for school purposes. He re-
peated the argument that it had
been bought for a school site and
that it was needed for a school

Why commercialize on public

added. The people are not salts

The association has been in
formed by a District official that

used for the purpose Of constructing
a public playground because the

demand that the entire site be
made available for the school pur-
poses and that there was "a crying
demand for playground space IN
the community. the resolution de-
nanded that the site be cleared OF
all buildings. 1t claimed that the
neighborhood within the past two
years has developed more rapidly
with owner-occupied homes than
any other neighborhood in the Dis
trict of Columbia. and with no pro-
visions having been made up to this
time for playground space"
The resolution went on to argue
that Nichols avenue and Chesapeake
street were no longer suburban
roadways but boulevards designed
TO accommodate District and Fed

forces of the United States" and
that the amount of traffic made "it

Civic Film Producer Lorentz
Tells How He Got His Start
Boy Scout Jamboree Launched Avocation
That Has Lasted Five Years

Washington's many religious and
civic organizations are profiting to-
day because Henry E. Lorentz was
sitting In his car at the old Wash
ington- Hoover Airport one day five
years ago, for on that day he
watched man make motion pic
ture of an airplane taking off. I'M
pressed with the ease with which
movie camera could be handled.
and particularly pleased when he
learned the pictures could be made
in technicolor, Mr.. Lorentz then
and there adopted the hobby as his
own.
Soon after the completion of his
first film, made of the Boy Scout
National Jamboree that year, he ex-
hibited it, free of charge, to a
church group in his neighborhood.
AS a result of that appearance,
many clubs and lodges, as well as
other churches, lost no time in Sc
curing his services. His collection
of local subjects increased rapidly
and now includes complete reels on
the Presidents Cup Regatta, Cor
rigan in Washington. D. c." The
Circus in Town" and "A Civilian
Defense Corps in Action"
"Shoots" Beauty Spots.
In addition, Mr. Lorentz has made
trips to such places of beauty as the
magnolia and cypress gardens of
South Carolina, and the New Eng
land White Mountains, including
them in his repertoire. Filmed. too,
were the New Orleans Mardi Gras,
the New York Worlds Fair and the
Apple Blossom Festival in Win
chester.
He takes particular pride in the
selection of musical accompaniment
for his films. For example, the scene
showing the Grand Canyon of
Yellowstone National Park has a
background of Ferde Grofe's Grand
Canyon Suite
Mr. Lorentz finds his own happi-
ness in the pleasure of others.

when I show my comic films" he
says, L sit back there and laugh

Just back from a four
months tour of duty in the Pa
cific, Mas said in an interview
that his experiences in combat
zones had confirmed his opin-
ion that such a step was essen

troduce legislation to put it into
effect.
Moreover, he asserted that
Congress should merge the war
and navy departments, leaving
but one cabinet officer to rep
resent both, and that the House
and Senate should combine their
separate military and naval
committees into committee on
war.
