JEWISH FATE IN
POLAND CAUSED
ZYGELBOyM'S SUICIDE

LONDON (JTA)-Samuel Zyg-
elboim, the Jewish member of the
Polish National Council who COM
mitted suicide here last week,
took his life in protest against
the Indifference of the democratic
world to the fate of the Jews in
occupied Poland who are being
exterminated by the Nazis with
out mercy, it was reliably learned
this week.
Letters explaining the motives
for his act were left by him and
will be released by the authorities
after this weeks inquest. They
were addressed to the Polish Pres
ident Raczkiewicz and to the
Polish Prime Minister Gen. Sikor-
ski. In these letters Zygelbojm
is reported to have stated that he
decided to take his life not for any
personal motives, but solely as a
means of protesting against the
fact that nothing is being done to
save Polish Jews from Nazi

Jewish circles here were agree
ably surprised at the speed with
which anti-Jewish laws have been
eliminated, at least nominally, in
Tunisia. Before giving way to
unconstrained rejoicing, however,
they would be glad to see the text
of the DEGREES, and reports from
unbiased sources of the spirit in
which they are being carried out.
This scepticism is born of sad
experience. It was four months

Algeria that Gen. Henri Giraud
announced the abrogation of anti
Jewish laws there. Another six
weeks passed before the exact
language of his measures became
available here. The texts con-
firmed what had been suspected
not only were native Jews depriv-
ed of citizenship, but jokers in the
new DEGREES left such matters as
the restoration of jobs, businesses
and properties of Jews to be ar
ranged by former Vichy officials

whose attitude towards their Jew
ish compatriots had CONCEDED
with that of their Nazi masters.
In Tunisia, Resident-General
Gen. Alphonse JUN had hardy
reached his new post, to which
Giraud appointed him, before ne
announced the abrogation OF anu
Jewish laws in his territory.
The simultaneous announcement
that the Jewish Council in Tunls
had been restored, however, called
attention to the fact that Tunisla,
unlike Algeria, is not a part OF
France, but under nominal native
rule. The political set-up in Tun-
isia resembles that of Morocco,
where Resident General AL
guste Nogues is reported to have
said that the revocation OF anti
Jewish measures had to await the
approval of the sultan. Everyone
here with the faintest knowledge
of French colonial administration
is aware that the Sultan OF Nor
Deco and the Bey of Tunis are the
merest figure-heads in the gov
eminent. There is new Bey OF
Tunis, Giraud having summarlly
deposed his predecessor for SYM
pathy with the Nazis, and the IN
cumbent can undoubtedly be
counted on to follow "advlce"
closely.
One reason for the prompt an
nouncement on Jewish rights in
Tunisia is probably the increased
prestige of Gen. Charles de Gaulle
and his Fighting French, who
have taken an uncompromislng
attitude on the elimination of all
Nazi racial measures in French
territory. At the present writing,
de Gaulle and Giraud still dis
agree on a site for their much
heralded meeting, repeatedly be-
cause Giraud fears that his rivals
public support in Algiers would be
an important factor in negotia-
tons held there. Another indica-
ton of de Gaulle's strength has
come in reports from Tunisia,
where the French population
looked on the de Gaulist army OF
Gen. Jacques Leclerc as their lib
orators and appeared hardly to
have heard of Giraud.
Whatever the cause, there are
indications that the position OF
Jews under Giraud is improving,
though slowly. From Morocco
comes the report that the mayor
of the capital, Rabat, and a dozen
colleagues, have been arrested for
trying to maintain Vichy's anti
Jewish policies. In Algiers, stud
ents are said to have been arrest
ed for trying to keep their Jew
ish contemporaries out of the
schools.
Jewish officials ousted by Vichy
are reported to have been rein
stated, with full back salaries
since June, 1910.
Observers here are confident
that these steps are the result OF
continued pressure from British
and American authorities, and
that de Gaulle's influence also has
a great deal to do with them. But
they believe that the final test
of the sincerity of all concerned
will come with the PRONUNCIATION
of DEGREES outlining the method
by which native Algerian Jews
may regain" the citizenship
which both Vichy and Giraud de.
MED them. Under Giraud's de-
cree of March IA, the new regula.
tons must be made public within
three months. At this writing

GEORGE CAN'T Do IT

The illusion that government is
Santa Claus. if not already dis
PEELED, soon will be. The Presi-
dent is asking for more billions
in taxes, and Senator George,
chairman of the Senate Finance
Committee, has bluntly warned
that "any large increases must
fall on middle income brackets
and down to $4,000 and $4,000.
The truth is that of our national
income (now at l40 billions) some
81 billions goes to people in the
lower brackets-2eople whose in
is So, 900 or less.'
Any public official who inspires
the belief that the rich can be
made to pay for the war is doing
a disseryice to his country. This
war must b e paid for by the
whole people. If an attempt is
made to grant tax favors to one
group at the expense of another,
the result can be none other than
disastrous. T h e tax burden is
growing 80 heavy that unless it
is distributed equitably, individ-
ual opportunity and the incentive
to produce will be destroyed. If
that happens, a farce will have

SPankings
Badly Needed
By GEORGE PECK

1t has come to our ears recent
Iy that certain officials occupying
high Offices in Washington have
chided American industrialists
with taking thought Of the NOR.
row" in attempting to make plans
for the postwar period. The
burden of their complaint is that
this is no time to be wasting time
in making plans for peace-time,
and that every energy should be
bent now on winning the war.
No one can quarrel with the
idea Of bending every energy to-
ward bringing about a speedy
collapse of the Axis Powers, but
doesn't it seem a bit adolescent,
doesn't it smack bit of the
ostrich to ignore the emergency
that inevitably will confront this
nation when the shooting stops?
The President, himself, in his
most recent radio speech a i'd
something to the effect that the
time had now come for US to look
to tn future. Apparently he
does not agree with these subor-
dinates who would have US blind
ly purse our way to military vic.
tory on foreign fields and give no
heed t o the equally important
economic victory which must be
won n the postwar period at
home here in America.
We are also bearing in mind
t h at the National Resources
Planning Board spent three years
and over 3 million dollars of our
tax money studying and prepar-
ing plans for the postwar period.
Some months ago it made its re-
port to the President and he in
turn presented it to the Congress.
We are pleased to state that as
we have been able to discover,
the Congress received these plans
with great unenthusiasm.
The NRPB after spending all
this time and all this money OF
ours has suggested that we ape
the economic systems of the very !
enemies that we are now bend
ing every energy to defeat. 1t
advocated among other things
tn socialistic idea of mixed
corporations" with capital n d
management recruited jointly
from individuals and Govern
ment.
On March 2, 1880, Franklin D.
Roosevelt, then Governor of New
York. made a radio speech to-
the American people. H d e.
clared that the Federal Govern
ment has no power whatever I'm.
der the Constitution over the
conduct o f public utilities, oil
banks, of insurance. of business,
of agriculture. of education. of
social welfare. and of a dozen
other important features. InI
these. Washington must not be
encouraged to interfere"
He solemnly warned the people
that if they should ever let the
Federal Government get power
oyer such matters, this would
inevitably result at some future
time n a dissolution of tn Ell

Black Bass
Research Reveals
Eight Types

COLUMBUS, o., May 5.-Ask
any fisherman how many kinds OF
black bass there are and he in.
variably will answer two kinds
small and big mouthed. Yet, fish
research workers in Ohio and other
states now come forward with the
surprising claim that there are
eight varieties instead of two, and
the end is not in sight.
E. L. Wickliff, assistant chief
of the Fish Management Section
of the Ohio Division of Conserva-
tion is the authority for the claim
of eight species, quoting DR.. Carl
Hubbs, Curator of Fishes, Uni
versity of Michigan, as the one
making the original report. Previ-
Gus to 1927, fishermen, fish cul-
turists, scientists and others recog-
nized but two kinds prior to this
date, when DR.. Hubbs threw a
bomb shell into tradition and de-
scribed third species of bass,
called the spotted bass.
Since the original claim of a
third variety of black bass was put
forth, five additional types have
been recognized, as follows:
Northern Spotted Bass (found
in Ohio).
2. Alabama Spotted Bass Ca new
sub-species).
3. Wichita Spotted Bass Ia new
sub-species).
a. Redeyed Bass "a new species).
5. Neosho Smallmouthed Bass
Ia new sub-species).
6. Northern Smallmouthed Bass
(found in Ohio).
z. Largemouthed Bass (found in
Ohio).
8. Texas Spotted Bass Ia new
sub-species).
Mr.. Wickliff in reporting the
eight different kinds of bass re-
ports that the end is not in sight
and several other varieties may
still be found.

Mrs. Herrick
Accused Of
Retording Output

PORTLAND, Me. (FP)-Imme-
diate removal of Mrs. Gilmore NJ
Herrick as the so-called labor re-
lations expert of the Todd ship
building interests has been de-
manded by Local so, Industrial
Union of Marine and Shipbuilding
Workers (CIO) because her anti
union actions are hampering pro-
duction.
Mrs. Herrick, who was frequent
ly found by New York unions to
be favoring the employers when
she was regional NLRB director
there, has refused to allow 10000
workers in New England Ship
building Co. yards to work on Sun
days "in defiance of the U. S. gov
ernment's urgent plea for all-out
ship production" The Yardbird,
Local 90 newspaper, charges.
In column entitled "Orchids &
Onions" The Yardbird presented
Onions to Gilmore Herrick
who has laid long series of rot
ten eggs in her treatment of South
Portland shipbuilding workers."
"Mrs. Herrick," the column
charges, "has consistently refused
to comply with any constructive
efforts of the labor-management
committee With the yards in
turmoil for months because of
mismanagement and the obstinate
lack of common sense in the treat
ment of labor problems, the work
ers of Local so in the interests
of the successful prosecution of
their war efforts, are demanding
her immediate removal"
When Mrs. Herrick left the
NLRB for the Todd job at an un-
disclosed salary, her appointment
was hailed by the reactionary press
of New York, which also praised
her record in the NRB job.

HOLLYWOOD (FP) - Aircraft
plants here are setting up some
work on split shifts so actors, Of
flee workers, newspaper men and
others with regular jobs can take
hand in war production.
The Lockheed-Vega plant has
earmarked 100 jobs on the produc-
ton line for actors, and the Screen
Actors Guild is sending 200
members to handle them in two
man teams. One actor works 4
p. m. TO 8 p. M, the other $3.50
p. m. to 1890 a. m. The agree
ment is that when one Of them
gets call for picture work, the
other works the full shift at the
plane plant.
Hiring Professionals
The war industries are ravenous
for help. They are hiring lawyers,
dentists, undertakers, housewives
and high school kids. Many of
these people do work that requires
no training. At Lockheed there are
$4,000 workers and 10000 Of them
have never seen a plane being
made. They're kept too busy in the
offices.
A lawyer who handles a stock
room job at 75c hourly was telling
me the other day about the tre-
mendous kick he gets out of his
part in Americas war production.
He feels proprietary interest in
every P-38 that ICONS overhead.
"You hand someone a piece of
metal about foot square in the
morning" he says, "and before the
day is over it's flying about the
sky in 20 different planes"
Got $1,000 per Hour
This man says he used to get
$1,000 an hour in the courtroom.
He had offices in Rockefeller Gen.
ter and he used to own Lockheed
stock. Now he's just a Lockheed
worker, and his income tax figur-
ing is lot simpler.
Another plant, in which pop bot
ties are made, hasn't got the ro-
mantle job appeal of war indus
tries-although most of the bottles
go to North African and the South
Pacific. 1t goes in for vigorous
sponsorship of social activities, and
