American Jewish
Conference Fixed
For August 10Th

New York (JPS)-The Ameri-
can Jewish Conference will take
place on August goth, it was de-
cided by the Executive Commit
tee of the body at an all-day
meeting held here, according to
authoritative information made
available to the Independent Jew
ish Press Service.
1t is understood that a strong
fight was made to postpone the
session of the representative as
sembly until late in November but
this was defeated. One group
urged the postponement of the
Conference on the ground that it
was impossible to predict what
might be said by delegates to the
Conference and that this would be
unwise for the Jewish people dur
ing the period of the war.
A decision was also made to
permit Revisionist Zionists to
come into the American Jewish
Conference. Their entry has been
blocked by several regular Zion
list leaders. It was further voted
to exclude Communists from par
ticipation in the American Jewish
Conference. The decision was
taken on an application for affil-
iation by the Jewish section of
the International Workers Or
der. It was stated that the In
ternational Workers Order was a
general rather than a Jewish body
and therefore was not entitled to
affiliation.
The Executive Committee elect
ed a Preasidium consisting OF
Henry Monsky, President of B'nai
Birth; DR.. Stephen S. Wise,
President of the American Jewish
Congress, and Joseph M. Pros
kauer, President of the American
Jewish Committee. Mr.. Monsky
had previously been serving as
Acting Chairman of the Execu-
tive of the American Jewish Con-
ference.

JEWISH FLYER WHO
SECURED SURRENDER
OF LAMPEDUSA
is HAILED

LONDON (JTA)-Named by
his mates as King of Lamped-
usa," the 22-year old London
Jewish pilot Sidney Cohen, who
single-handed secured the sur
render of the island of Lampedusa,
is hailed today in every news
paper in England as an example
of resourcefullness and bravery.
Cohen, who was a cutter in a
tailor shop in the East End of
London until three years ago, is
now a Sergeant in the Royal Air
Force. Last Saturday he was
flying on a sea rescue mission
with two mates, an Englishman
and a Scotchman, when he no
ticed that the gasoline in his
plane was running low. Com
PEELED to make an emergency
landing, he found himself on the
island of Lampedusa.
"In a moment I knew that I
was in a bit of a fix" he told
correspondents. "Just then we
saw some people waving white
sheets, and two italian officers
approaching. One of the officers
addressed us in italian, and we
discovered he wanted to surrend-
err the island.
"In view of the accidental ma
ture of my mission, this was bit
of trouble. But told him would
have to see the No. L man, and
he took us to high ranking
naval officer. Other officers and
civilians entered the room and l
was just about to receive the Of
fetal surrender when-swish-
everybody suddenly ran out of
that room and left me alone.
They must have thought another
air raid was just beginning, but
there was no sound of gunfire or
bomb explosions at the moment,
and 1 thought the nerves of my
hosts must be getting a little
ragged.
"But in a few minutes I had a
worms eye view of what was
happening. About twelve Light
nings came over and hit the har-
Dor. We fell flat. AS soon as
that was over I and my mates
went out to our plane and began

You Can't Have EVERYTHING!

Helping the young fry take some
of their disappointments is one duty
that often hurts parents more than
1t does the children. Half the fun
OF being a parent is to get and

in the past, have given them much
more than was good for them ard
1t is now necessary to instruct them
otherwise.
This is not going to be easy.

an ice or a sherbet with a bit Of
sponge cake would be excellent. All
in all, this Is an economical meal,
too, because the kidneys are not ra-
toned now, and low in price, too.
About half dollars worth of kid
neys will buy the meat for enough
stew for eight good servings.
And here Is a good old-fashioned
kidney stew recipe.
Soak the beef kidneys for an hour
in salted water. Then cut into small
pieces and remove any unedible por-
tions. In the bottom Of an iron
kettle put two tablespoonsful Of but
ter or use bacon drippings. When
the fat Is hot, add half a cup Of
chopped onion and three table
spoonsful Of -four, rubbing and cook
ing together, to golden brown. To
this add two quarts Of hot water
and then the kidneys. For this much
stew there should be three kidneys
or at least two If they are large.
Simmer for several hours, adding
a little hot water from time to time
if needed. BY dinner time, the kid
neys will be very tender and the
gravy utterly delicious. Merely salt
and pepper for seasoning-and add
that last of all.
The stew is served right on top Of
the waftles and the gravy Is as i'm

added and cooked with the kidneys.
And If the cook be French or Ital-
ian or Spanish, probably there would
have to be a glass Of dry red wine

Small daughter who is an ardent
Girl Scout with many honors to her
credit and really deserves a new
uniform, is also interested in being
a Cadet. This would mean a uni
form and special pair OF shoes
which would use her only shoe cou-
pom. Older brother, for whom the
family had invested in a cadet uni
form the year before, and having
outgrown it, now wanted football
equipment, made his demands also.
Little sister wanted to take dancing
lessons because her little friend next
door was taking them also.
After some discussion it was de-
cided that sister should "let down"
and ''let out" last years scout uni
form to make 1t do for another year.
Brothers cadet uniform could be
sold and the proceeds used to buy
his football equipment, and if
mother made sisters cadet uniform
skirt there would be enough left
over after selling brothers uniform
TO buy her cape and cap. Special,
one purpose shoes, were out-be-
cause we only have two pairs of
shoes a year-and so little sister had
her dancing lessons with a certain
sum that was set aside each week
for her
The fact that each one had their
wishes understood, that grants were
made as far as the family were able
to do so-and the reason for no"
was perfectly plain made this a
workable arrangement.
