THE AGRICULTURAL FRONT:
Every jew in America knows of
the Jewish cOlOnists i'm Palestine,
Russia and even Argentina :
But few Jews know that there
are 100000 Jewish farmers in the
United States Gabriel Da-
wilson, executive head of the
Jewish Agricultural Society, has
now done a great service for
American Jewry by publishing this
week a book "Our Jewish Farm
ers" in which he tells very elo-
quently the story of these 100000
Jewish farmers The book,
published by the L. b. Fischer
publishing house, is valuable, not
only as a history of the develop
ment of Jewish farming in Amer
lea, but also as a fine contribu-
ton to general Jewish history in
this country. 1t is remarkably
well written and makes absorbing
reading even for people who have
no interest in the subject of jew
Ism agriculture 1T reveals,
by the way, that the great Russian
writer Leo TOlstOy is responsible
for the establishment of the jew
ish Farm School which now exists
in Pennsylvania Inspired by
a talk concerning the Jews which
he had with TOlstOy in 1894, DIR.
Joseph KrauskOpf, the Philadel-
phia rabbi, returned from his visit
to Russia and lost no time in
founding the first Jewish Agricul-
tural School in America which is
today recognized as one of the
best in the country Mr.. Da-
Wilson's book also contains MANY
other interesting facts of this
kind which are both of historic
and human interest One
learns from Mr.. Davidson that
Jewish farmers in America are
engaged in practically all branches
of farming, and that among other
things they are the best breeders
of turkeys, mink, chickens
Many of them are planting tObac-
co and cotton, while others have
large fields of sugar-beets, pOta-
toes, tomatoes and other Vege-
tables which are so needed now

battlefront -

NAPLES, Nov 3 CUP5-King Vic
tor Emmanuel arrived unexpected
ly today for a visit to Naples which
was described officially as strictly
private but which appeared to carry
potential political significance.
The appearance of the king in
Naples followed closely the visit of
Marshal Pietro Badoglio, during
which he reported that he was in
forming Victor Emmanuel of a
growing sentiment for the abdica-
ton of both the king and Grown
Prince Humberto.
Some observers professed to see
the Italian political situation de-
veloping along lines parallel to
France, with Count Carlo Sforza
playing the role of Gen. Charles de
Gaulle and Badoglio in that of
Gen. Henri Giraud.
A parallel also was seen between
Victor Emmanuel, who reigned a
Fascist government and Marshal
Henri Philippe Petain, inextricably
entangled with the Vichyites.
There also was a resemblance be-
tween Georges CatrouX and Bene-
dctto Croce, the latter with his
scholarly viewpoint tending to act
as q modifying influence ON Sforza
the same as CatrouX exercises res
traint upon de Gaulle.
The parallel ran particularly
close with regard to the question of
urges. In Italy it is a question of
ousting the Fascists who still linger
in power from top to bottom in the

The title of this dispatch should
be "The Moth Ball Girl" or
They've Got Me Buried"
It's a typical Hollywood story
about beautiful young lady who
made a sensational hit in her first
picture and then was completely
forgotten.
All her friends, she says, started
calling her "Thc Moth Ball Girl.
Her name is Lcnore Aubert, and
she was an actress in her native
Vienna before the war. Her boss
Samuel GoldWyn, who is still pay
ing her a nice salary every week,
says she's the most beautiful girl
in Hollywood since Wilma BanEy.
The movie in which Lenore made
a hit was Bob Hopes comedy,
"They've Got Me Covered" She
played spy and some people, in
Guiding your reporter and Goldwyn,
thought she was the best thing in
the picture.
In fact, after the previeW, Sam
called her to his office and said
Young lady. believe in you. I'm
going to give you terrific build-up.
We're giving you nice new con-
tract. You're going to be big star
FREED VACATION
Lenore was very happy. That
was year ago. Since then, until
a few days ago, she hadn't even
seen a movie camera. OF even

Nothing else happened, in fact,
for year. Other studios, she says,
asked GoldWn to borrow her for
their pictures Goldwyn turned
them all down. Lenore says she
went TO Goldwyn and said, "PleasA
MI. Goldwyn, I'm getting tired of
doing nothing" She said Goldwyn
replied, Don't worry. l believe in
you"
Even if GoldWyn did believe in
her, Lenorc and her agents tried to
talk him into firing her SO she
could accept the other roles. Gold

ROUNDABOUT ROUT
How Lenorc Aubcrt crashed Holly
wood in the first place is quite a
story.
AS Hitler rose to power she fled
her native Vienna to France and
then to New York. She arrived in
America with very little money and
went to work as a model. Then
one day she bought a bus ticket TO
Hollywood, hoping to get a job in
motion pictures.
With the little money she had
saved as a New York model,
Lenore enrolled at a Beverly Hills
little theater and played the role
of the actress in THE Man Who
Came to Dinner"
An agent saw Lenore and took
her to see Samuel GoldWyn. Gold
wyn gave her screen test, signed
her to a contract, Immediately cast
her in They've Got Me Covered"
and promised the terrific build
up" which never came off.
Now that she's in front of Il
camera again, we hope Lenore Au-
bert will lose the title of Holly

She's much too beautiful to be
disappearing in motion pictures.

Bridges Faces
Boston SOXS
In Final Tilt
BY WATSON SPOELSTRA

DETROIT, July 2 - H) If
Tommy Bridges can pitch them
to a victory today over the Bos-
ton Red Sox, the Detroit Tigers
would feel much happier about
playing the champion New York
Yankees in a pair of double
headers tomorrow and Sunday.
The veteran Bridges, Detroit s
top pitcher with 4 and 2 rec
ord, was nominated TO face Yank
Terry after the Tigers squeezed
out 3 to victory last night
over the SoX on a pinch single
by Ned Harris in the ninth inn
ing.
Manager Steve O'Neill will
send southpaw Hal Newhouser
against the Yankees tomorrow
in the series opener, but from
then on he'll just dip into the
hat for starters. The Tigers have
another double header Monday,
a neutrality-suspicious. affair against
the Washington Senators.
While beating Boston for the
sixth time in ten games this sea-
son, the Tigers reversed the us
ual formula. Detroit was outhit.
II to 7, but made good use of its
safetics. Moreover, Detroit play
ed its first errorless game in two
weeks.
With that kind of backing,
Paul Dizzy Trout gained his
seventh victory of the season
against six defeats. But The real
hero was Harris, whose batting
average of 1879 had sent him out
of the lineup. With the bases
loaded and none out, ne lined a
hit to left field that broke up a
2 to 2 deadlock and handed LET
ty Oscar Judd his fourth defeat.
Don Ross, who replaced Har-
ris in right field, opened with a
double. Rudy York was passed
intentionally, and Mike Ryba
came in for Judd. Tony Lupien
threw the ball away on Jimmy
Bloodworth's sacrifice, and then
Harris batted for Dixie Parsons.
His single sent in Charley Metro,
who was running for Ross.
The Tigers casualty list mount
ed when Catcher Al Unser went
out with a split finger received
on a foul tip off Barna's bat in
the eighth. He will be out for
week. Doctors who examined
Virgil Trucks ailing right arm
had not declared how long ne
will be out.
