The broadcast also reported
that a fierce house-to-house bat
tie is still raging in the Warsaw
ghetto and that, contrary to pre-
vious reports, the Nazis have not
as yet succeeded in "liquidating"
the ghetto and in crushing Jewish
resistance. The Jews, SWIFT re-
ported, are fighting against spe-
cial Nazi attachments of picked
S. S. troops supported by artil-
lery and armoured cars.
ION Thursday" the broadcast
from underground Poland contin-
ued, 'the Nazi military dropped
incendiary bombs over the ghetto
and cut off the water supply in
order to obstruct the work of
extinguishing the fires" GA cable
from the Jewish Anti-Fascist
Committee in Russia states that
the Polish underground group,
"Gwardia Narodowa," succeeded
in rescuing many wounded Jews
in the ghetto and in bringing
them to safety.)

PALESTINE GOVERNMENT
ASKED TO SPEED EN-
TRANCE OF JEWS

JERUSALEM (JTA)-Express-
ing deep concern at the fact that
none of the 1880 Jewish refu-
gees entitled to enter Palestine
under the three-month quota ex-
piring June 81 have as yet ar
rived, a delegation of the Jewish
National Council this week called
upon high officials of the~Pales-
tine Government demanding that
some action be taken.
The delegation, composed of
Isaac Ben-Zvi and DR.. Abraham
Katznelson, pointed out that the
developments in the Balkan coun-
tries, from where the Jewish ref
ugees are to be taken, may make
it impossible for the prospective
Jewish emigrants to leave these
countries. It asked, therefore,
that steps be taken Immediately
to secure transportation facilities
for the refugees, so as to make it
possible for them to reach Pales-
tine before June 80.

Huns Threaten To
Bomb Tel Aviv
Out OF Existence"

London (JPS)-The Berlin ra-
dio has broadcast threats that
the Luftwaffe will bomb Tel
Aviv and Haifa out of existence"
in reprisal for the bombing of
the Ruhr Valley dams. Ignoring
the official denial of the British
Air Ministry of the report by
Reuters that a German Jewish
refugee suggested the bombing,
the German press and radio con-
tinue to utilize the Reuters
story as the basis for violently
anti-Semitic propaganda.
The Manchester Guardian states
that the Gestapo and the Storm
Troopers held a special meeting
at which it was decided to liqui-
date all the Jews that remain in
Germany in reprisal for the
bombing. In accordance with
this decision, $4,000 Jews in Ber-
lin have been either shot or de-
ported to Poland, the Guardian
adds.

Your Opinions
LYnchinqs

Editor, The Times: I send you
the following information con-
corning lynchings for the year
1912: I find, according to the
information compiled in the De-
psrtment of Records and Re-
search, there were five persons
[ lynched in 1912. This is one more
han the number 4 for the year
1941, the same as the number 8
for the year 1910, two more than
the number three for the year
1889, and one less than the num-
Der six for the year 1888. One
Of the persons lynched was drag
ged through the streets behind
an automobile and body burned.
A n o I her body was dragged
through the streets behind a
speeding automobile to the edge
of town and hanged from a cotton
gin winch. In one case. the per-
son was taken from the Jail and
hanged.
There were fifteen of instances
In which officers Of the law pre-
vented lynchings. One of the re-
ported instances was in a west
ern state and fourteen of the re-
ported instances were in south
ern states. In thirteen instances,
persons were removed or guards
augmented or other precautions
taken. In one case, a lynching
was restrained by wives Of the
would-be lynchers. In another
case, the sheriff dissuaded the
mob. A total number of seven
teen persons-four white men
and thirteen negro men-were
thus saved from the hands of
mobs.
The states in which lynchings
occurred and the number in each
state are as follows: Mississippi
three; Missouris. one; Texas, one.

, Another Theory Falls

Ever since the American sport of base
ball was taken over by promoters interest
ed chiefly in the revenue, part of the
build-up for the big league teams was
a training camp far from home. New
York, Pittsburgh, st. Louis, Boston, Chi
cago and other teams in that class were
sent to resorts in the south early every
spring. From there the press agents sent
daily accounts of how the team was being
conditioned to knock out all its rivals.
Actually these training camps in the
south were not for the purpose of condi-
tioning. 1t was a part of the public rela-
tons program that has become an import
ant factor in every considerable enterprise.
The psychology of the old favorites gam
boiling over green fields under tropical
sun was supposed to put the public in
proper mood TO see some gamboling around
the bases. That was the only possible
return that could be expected from the
long and expensive trips.
In other ways these trips have been a
detriment. Coming from the mild warmth
of the southern spring to the damp chill
of the north caused colds and other all
ments. That trouble was experienced in
our own home camps. Coming from few
weeks of training in the warm climate of
Southern California to the damp chill of
Puget Sound sometimes produced result
that was near disastrous.
