The Southern Jewish weekly. [volume] (Jacksonville, Fla.) 1939-1992, 1942-09-11

The year that brought war to
the nation was an important one
in national affairs for Jews. PO-
itical anti-SemitiSm suffered
heavy blows because of it's almost
invariable association with pro-
Nazi sympathies. Refugees from
European anti-Semitism, on the
other hand, found increased diff
cultieS because of their frequent
classification as "enemy Aliens"
War brought to the Jewish peo-
pie, as to all, its share of sorrow
for lost sons, and more than its
share of just pride in their hero
ism. For the sake of these heroes,
and for the sake of simple COM
mon sense, discrimination against
Jews in the war effort declined,
and the decline was aided by the
activities of President Roosevelt's
Committee on Fair Employment
Practice.
Agitation for a separate Jewish
army dominated the attention of
those concerned with the affairs
of Palestine. Although the pro-
ject won over many in high places,
it remained controversial among
Jews themselves and received no

overt government support.

overt government support.
The year opened on a sad note
with the death of Louis D. Brand
els, the first Jew ever to sit on the
United States Supreme Court.
Tributes to the distinguished jur-
list and defender of human rights
bore testimony to the multitude
of his admirers throughout the
world.
Until Pearl Harbor, members of
the America First Committee,
concerned with keeping the United
States out of the war, moved
closer to outright anti-Semitism.
Senator Burton K. Wheeler 3D.,
Mont.) and Charles Lindbergh
both identified Jews with war
mongers"-and were rebuked for
it by leaders of public opinion
everywhere.
Immediately after the Japanese
attack, the F. B. I. began to watch
anti-Semitic publications more
closely for evidences of sedition-
since the Sedition Act only oper-
ates when the country is at war.
Robert Noble was arrested in Cal
ifornia with two of his associates,
and six months later convicted.
Representative Martin Dies d.,
Tex told the House of Represen-
tatives that his Committee on un-
American Activities had found
anti-Semitic propaganda in this
country to be largely subsidized
by the Nazis, and disclosed that
he had heard witnesses who want
ed to execute, not prosecute"
Jews.
Many leading senators joined in
February's celebration of Brother
hood Week, supported by the
National Conference of Christians
and Jews. In the same month,
the Navy Department ousted
George E. Deatherage, notorious
leader of the knights of the White
Camelia, from his civilian engin-
eering job in the Norfolk Navy
Yard. When the Post Office De-
partment asked to censor William
Dudley Pelley's anti-Semitic paper
THE Galilean," Policy announced
its suspension.
Shortly afterwards, Pelley and

uganda line was similar, were in
dicted by a special grand jury in
vestigating sedition. At this
writing, Pelley has been sentenced
to Jail in North Carolina for vio-
lating the states financial laws
and is standing trial for sedition
in Indianapolis. Christian got
five years for sedition. The grand
Jury has also been investigating
publications of E. ]. Garner, Court
Asher, Charles B. Hudson and
others whose indictments to race
hatred appeared side by side with
their denunciations of the United
Nations and their war effort.
The United States Supreme
Court ruled it libelous to say in
the state of New York that a con-
gresham opposed the appoint
ment of a judge because the pros
pective appointee was Jew. A
group of Jewish organizations had
supported the accused newspaper
on the ground that verdict a.
gainst it would make hazardous
the criticism of public officials.
The Post Office Departments
campaign against seditious publ
cations brought the suspension of
Father Charles Coughlin's Social
Justice event for which he
blamed Jews, Communists and
New Dealers" But satisfaction
was expressed at the action by
leaders throughout the country,
including Archbishop Edward
Mooney, Coughlin's eccliastical
superior.
Harold D. Lasswell, director of
war communications and renown-
ed as a political scientist, testified
at a Post Office Department hear
ing on Court Asher's "J-Ray."
Lasswell named as one of his cri-
terra for a seditious publication
the myth so many of them repeat
that washington is run by Jews"
If any disproof of the statement
is needed, w. M. Kiplinger's best
seller washington Is Like That"
showed that the proportion of
Jews in government jobs is no
greater than their proportion in
the population.
That they reached even that
proportion was due in some part
to the Committee on Fair Employ
ment Practice, which fought dis
elimination against minority
groups in government as well as
war industry. Several times in
the course of the year President
Roosevelt spoke out in opposition
to barring Jews, Negroes, aliens
and naturalized citizens from en-
ployment The committee ordered
ten great corporations in the
Chicago milwaukee, area and eight
in the New York area to end dis
elimination, and it's directives
were complied with in every case.
Among the firms were the Allis-
Chalmers Corporation, the Buick
plant at Melrose, ILL.,, the Stewart
Warner Corporation, Carl L. Nor
den Company and the Fairchild
Aviation Corporation.
Pearl Harbor brought pledges
of the utmost cooperation with
the war program from Jewish or
CARNATIONS everywhere, and those
pledges were soon transformed in
to deeds. For instance, the Jew
ish War Veterans pledged them

selves to sell $25,OOO,OOO in war
bonds, and before six months had
passed, delivered half that amount.
Ralph M. Levy, New York indus
trialist, offered $1,000 to every
crew that sank japanese ship
and paid it.
AS in the last war, when Amer
lean Jews contributed 500 more
men to the armed forces than
was called for by their proportion
in the population, Jewish names
were among the first to appear in
official citations.
There was Corporal Myer Lee
vim, Colin Kelly's bombardier, the
Brooklyn boy who sank the Jap
anese battleship Haruna using an
unfamiliar bombsight.
There was Ensign Stanley Cap
Ian, who took destroyer out of
Pearl Harbor during the Japanese
attack and handled her in "out-
standing fashion for SO hours, ac-
cording to Navy Secretary Frank
Knox.
There was Lieut.. Gabriel Frum-
kin, who downed five of the fiji
teen Japanese Zero planes that at
tackled his bomber, landed it at a
deserted spot in the Dutch East
Indies and waited a week for res
cue.
In March, the Waco (Tex.)
Times-Herald pointed out that six
of the IS Distinguished Flying
Crosses awarded up to that date
! had gone to Jews.
The campaign to permit Jewish
heroes in Palestine to fight under
a flag of their own stood out in
the efforts on behalf of Palestine.
War Secretary Henry Stimson,
dozen senators and three times as
many representatives indicated
their support of the Committee
for a Jewish Army. The commit
tee, headed by Pierre van Paassen,
called for the formation of a
force of 100000 Palestinian and
stateless Jews.
The British authorities pointed
out that thousands of Jews were
already in the Near East armed
forces and auxiliary services, and
refused to create a special Jewish
army or home guard. But senti-
ment was strong for Jewish
army even in Britain, and Lord
Wedgwood went so far as to sug-
gest that the Palestine mandate
be transferred to the United
States. The suggestion was not
received well in London or Wash
ington, but Senator Robert Wag-
ner 3D., N. ", speaking on the

How Fern Blodgett got
10 be "radioman" On a
U-boai-d i-dodging ship

SUOHSE IL pretty uIlDt-
lievable. but it happened.
~ One day she was a girl
stenographer in an insurance Office;
next day she was the radio
operator on a ship running the
U-boat blockade. Impossible2 Well,
that's the true story of hazel
eyed, dark haired, 23-year old Fern
Blodgett.
It all happened, really, because
Fern was lonely. She came to
Toronto from the little town of
Peterborough in Canada's Ontario
province, and after she got her
stenographer's job in the insur-
ance Office she suddenly discovered
she knew almost no one in the big
town. Evenings we're long and UNI
occupied; 80 what to do? Fern de-
cided to take a course in - of all
things - radio telegraphy.
For a year and a half, three
nights a week, she religiously at
tended classes at the radio school.
Bending over the transmitter key,
memorizing the dot-dash codes,
she dreamed dream that went
way back to the days when a small,
wonderstruck girl in pinafores had
watched the Lake Ontario cargo
boats passing and repassing: just
suppose that girl - somehow -
could 20 to sea!
After the course" Fern says,
Il went back TO the empty eve
nings and the humdrum days in
the insurance Office"
Il Happsas
IHEN one day the telephone rang
and voice said: Can you pack
and get to an Atlantic port tomor-
row? There's a ship needs radio

When she trudged up the gang

waiting for her. He was a young

marked:
