citizens. which included the U. S.
Consular staff, are now being
badly treated as enemy aliens"
bv Rumanian authorities, it was
reported this week by a Jewish
industrialist from Bucharest who
arrived here after many trials and
tribulations which took him from
Rumania through Germany to
Switzerland.
This Rumanian Jew disclosed
that the Nazi authorities in Buch-
Arrest continue to press the Ru-
manian Government for more
drastic anti-Jewish action. They
are especially dissatisfied that the
present severe anti-Jewish legis-
lation "is not driving the Jews of
Rumania to suicide to the same
extent as in the Reich"
MANY Rumanians, he contin-

A National Council For Statistics
OF Jews Is Formed

The Union of Orthodox Rabbis of
the United States and Canada,
which is not a member of the
Synagogue Council, joined the
new council.
Latest Survey Lists Jews In
400 Cities and villages
The latest survey of the Stats
tical Bureau lists 1884 cities,
villages and rural areas having
Jewish residents, and the number
of Jews in each one. Of these,
967 communities have one or
more congregations; while in the
remaining places the Jews are too
few to have their own congrega-
tions, but they depend on the
neighboring larger communities
for religious and educational wei
fare services. In a similar sur
vey conducted by the Bureau ten
years before, $40 cities, villages
and rural areas reported, of which
number only 81 communities had
one or more congregations. The
Jews are widely distributed in the
country, and it is one of the func-
lions of the Statistical Bureau to
register the movement of the
Jews from the large to the small
cities and villages.

to give him a reSOunding defeat

more important to the Jews than
all the organized political activity

CONFLICT
The French aren't the only ones
who can't agree. There's a par
allel for the De Gaulle-Giraud

was first to create a committee Of
French Jewish exiles to speak on
behalf of the Jews of their home
land. Now the Labor Committee
has come along with its own exile
group. All we need now is for
the American Jewish Committee
and B'nai Birth to show that no
body can put anything over on
them and create two more exile
committees. Multiply four diff
ferent French exile committees by
all the countries in Europe and
you get an idea or what chaos

those not good enough for the P.

And talking about peculiarities,
isn't it strange that although
Mikhoels and Feffer were trump
eted as Representatives of Rus

their Jewish status is ignored in

To complicate matters, Rick was coming to, and the Jap probably would be in few minutes.
 Can you fly this plane?" Brit asked Beth.
 Sorry. They made us every thing except flyers at Des Moines. '
 "Then it's up to you to keep the folks in the back seat under con- trol."
 Beth took care of Rick first. He was kicking around, and it was obvious that the captives' feet would have to be tied, as well as their hands.
 Brit turned the cabin lights op Beth looked for something she could use to tie ankles together The bonds which she and Brit had shed were still back in the bag gage compartment, which was in habited in solitary and finally quiet ingloriousness by Lita Danton.
 Attached to the wall were three parachutes. Beth pulled one them apart and got length of strong cord. borrowing Brits knife to cut the material.
 Then she went to the Jap, She reasoned that it would be better to tie him immediately then struggle with Rick, than to take a chance on having to fight both of them - particularly since the Jap might know some tricks with his feet.
 She put the cord around the Jap's ankles and made it secure.
 Nov it's your turn" she said to Rick.
 Rick Moth eyed her warily.
 Perhaps I should say, Now it is your turn, Herr Von Mothe'," Beth said. whichever you pre- fer, it's your turn"
 There was firm set to her jaw,
 She watched Rick carefully as she neared his feet. This was going to be problem. Then she saw its solution almost as soon as she

it. I think" Beth said. As she spoke, she realized that she and Rick had a great many things in kinship as far as their attitudes toward life were concerned.
 Fine time to talk of death, " Brit laughed, when were staring it in the face" He switched off the cabin lights again so he could get clearer view of the ocean. There's the island, but it's a thou sand to one we'll never be able to come down on it.
 Beth looked down on the island, dark and apparently lifeleSs. She knew that dark as it was, Brit was right. He knew, as commander of that island, that the tiny spot in the ocean bristled with hidden guns which would blast them down un- less they could properly identify themselves It had been daylight when Lita Danton's Americana made Jap plane had first landed, but now it was night.
 You cant get through with the radio?" she asked.
 Tt was plenty of use to the Jap, but none to me. Wrong fre- quency."
 There aren't any flares?"
 Wouldn't do us any ogod. That would bring the guns into action"
 Beth remembered that there were two parachutes hanging on the cabin wall
 Brit" she said, could you fly over the island lengthwise - you know, so we went across it at it's greatest length?"
 Sure" he said "Why?' AS he asked, he swung the plane around so that they were approaching one end of the island.

recognized it's dangers.
 She fastened one end of the cord firmly to the laps ankles. Then she formed a running loop in the blight of the cord
 She started toward Rick.
 Watch out Brit warned.
 Brit did not want Beth to be caught in a situation where Rick could use a threat to her safety as a leverage to regain control of the situation.
 But there was no need to have any fears.
 Beth stepped quickly past Rick, and as he turned to try to trip and kick her viciously, she threw the running loop over his legs and pulled as hard as she could.
 She had the advantage and in three seconds the helpless spy had been caught and dragged so that his ankles were tied to the Jap's.
 It was matter of another few seconds to tie the knot securely. Then Beth rolled the pair away from the center of the cabin and further lashed them to the side of the plane.
 She returned to the front
 Good work, Beth" Brit said. You seem equal to anything I've never seen anyone cooler in the face of danger or possible death"
 "A soldier has to face those things" Beth said, smiling.
 Right" Brit answered. You know, the way I've always looked at it is that when the end comes, it will be just like getting transfer orders. I've been transferred a dozen times in the Army. Some times to bette spot, sometimes to a worse. Only almost always to a better one. There's some thing final about a transfer - it closes the chapter of your life which was spent at the last post. " He stopped a moment. Then he resumed. I've always thought that my final transfer would be that way - final closing a chapter or maybe even the book, and maybe sending me to better post"
 That's good way to look at

She dared not tell Brit her plan So she went back into the cabin and removed one of the para chutes. She got into the harness, and made doubly certain it was securely attached.
 "Goodby, Brit" she said. Stay aloft as long as you can.'
