ANTI SEMITISM IN
ARGENTINE SEEN
STRENGTHENED

Santiago, Chile (JPS)-Anti-
Semitism, strongly fostered by
Nazi forces in Argentina, has
been strengthened by the access
sion to power of President Pedro
Ramirez, it is believed. here
While Ell Pampero, the Nazi
sheet, enjoys unrestricted publica-
ton, other organs of democratic
opinion are severely limited in
what they may say. Ell Pampero
is notorious for it's campaigns a.
gainst international bankers. y
The published program of the
nationalist, cooperative group
with which Ramirez is associated
contains an anti-Semitic plank.

SOMEWHERE IN EUROPE
(JTA)-More than 1000 Polish
Jews interned in Italy as enemy
aliens are faced with starvation
unless relief from Jewish COM
munities in neutral countries
reaches them shortly.
The internees are held in vari-
GUS camps, the largest of which
is situated at .Ferramonti. They
have no funds of their own and
depend for subsistence on what
ever they can get from the italian
authorities. This support is linn
tied to eight Iiras a day for the
head of family and four liras for
each additional member of the in
termed family.
In view of the fact that these
grants from the italian authori-
ties are not sufficient to cover
the cost of minimum food rations,
the interned Jews are all under
nourished and many of them are
ill. tuberculosis is especially pre-
valent. Up until recently Jewish
communities in Italy supplied the
internees with whatever food could
be spared. At present, however,
italian Jews are themselves in a

BETWEEN YOU
AND M E
BY PAUL A. PETERS

PALESTINE ECHOES: Presi-
dent Roosevelt and Winston
Churchill may personally look
into the question of Arab-Jewish
relations 1t is understood
that they consider the Palestine
situation part and parcel of the
International problems which must
be solved before the postwar
world achieves sterilization
1t seems that Churchill does not
agree with the views of his for
eign secretary, Anthony Eden, on
Palestine And Eden'S views
are not encouraging for Jews =
DIR. WeiZmann is contemplating
leaving for London at the end OF
this month, even if this necesSi-
tates his returning to the United
States a few weeks later =
There was a good deal of cOmmO-
ton this week in Palestine cauS-
ed by cables which the MiZrachi
of America sent to their adher-
ents in Jerusalem charging DIR.
Weizmann with being cool to-
wards the RiltmOre Declaration.
These cables played into
the hands of some groups in the
Yishuv which were interested in
spreading a rumOr that DIR. Weiz-
mann is reluctant" to come to
Palestine The result was
that somebody in Jerusalem got
the brilliant" idea of having
four members of the executive
of the Jewish Agency proceed
to the United States in
order Ito compel DIR. Weizmann
to submit to the majority"
1t seems that this idea was born
in the minds of people who APP
parently do not realize that the
Jewish Agency would never get a
priority on four plane seats :
And this at a time when Rabbi
Meyer Berlin, president of the
World MiZrachi, has been stuck in
New York for months waiting for
a priority to return to Palestine.
49, BY the way, what has hap
pened to the two American Zion
list leaders who were chosen some
months ago to fly to Palestine as
a delegation representing Ameri-
can Jews? - Are they still
waiting for priOritieS -

Left Widow, z Girls

HARVE left behind his widow and their two
III grown daughters, both of whom were attend
ing college in Urbana
He also had two brothers-John, who had
left the community; and Emmett the youngest
member of his family, who travelling sales
man and lived in nearby Fairfield.
Now Emmett was strongly attached 10 his
brother Harve and the latters untimey death
came severe blow.
Two months after Harve Hoffee had been
buried in Union Cemetery, Emmett was in Evans
VILE Ind, on business.
He was stunned to see Alva Hoffee walking
into a small hotel arm-in-arm with Charley
Flynn who owned the farm adjoining Harves.
Alva had always been pious woman and
good soul.
Charley Flynn, on the other hand was the
exact opposite type of social creature.
Then on March ID, Alva left Merriam and
the townspeople learned that she and Charley
Flynn had gone to Hopkinsville, KY, to be
married.
Emmett took his problem to States Attorney
Charles w. Creighton.

A TRUE DETECTIVE STORY
@mBy Terry McShane mrmnrmrnrn"nmnrrrlrm

fTNIIS is the story of letter #. penned by
Il woman -. and buried for six years then
exhumed TO disclose the secret of an unholy
romance--and murder.
The month of December, 1880. was a tragic
one for the Hoffee family. who lived on S0-acre
farm in Merriam, Ill particularly for the luck
less Harve Hoffee 41-year-od master Of the
household.
Early in the month Harve received two
mysterious letters that warned him of imminent
death.
The farmer was at first perturbed by these
omnous missives. but he soon dismissed them
the work of some prankster.
Then, on Dec. Ia, he drank some juice sent
him by his mother and for two days was
wretchedly i'll.
A week later he and his 3S-year-old wife,
Alva, were both stricken with a severe stomach
ailment after eating some oysters.
But the couple quickly recovered and al
though bit weak. were able to get about.
On Dec. q, Harve lacerated his hand
while Slaughtering some hogs the next day he
caught cold; and the following afternoon his con-
dition became so critical that three doctors were
called into consultation.
Poor Harve did not rally this time and at
IL a. the next day he died. the doctors
attributing his demise to lockjaw resulting from
the accidental laceration of his hand.
