The echo. (Meridian, Miss.) 1942-1960, 1943-04-09

JASPER, MO. - The party line,
yoft-styled rural newspaper, proved
a boon to Mrs. Charles Thomas
shown above, farm woman near
here, when her husband suffered 6
serious accident which left heY
facing the huge task of doing all
their farm work, including a big
dairy herd to milk. A one-unit
mixer was in the barn but Mrs
Thomas didn't know how to use
1T. She remembered a neighboS
down the road who had a mixer OF
Che same type, so using her party
line telephone she called for help
Within 80 minutes, to her amaze
ment, half dozen neighbors with
eleven mixers arrived to handle
this phase of her work, proving
again the "Good Neighbor" policy
works at home as well as abroad
and that the party-line is really
more than just q telephone service.

Service Officer of the goth Infan-

In addition to his regular duties
in which he is charged with the
supervision of morale activities

-Four Million Ghosts

of the week. We hear of confer
ences taking place in Geneva of
representatives of the Jewish
Agency and the World Jewish
Congress about emigration after
the war and Palestine. But if the
reports of four million killed are
correct, where will there be the
Jews who require emgratoin? If
they be true, why all the talk a.
bout Palestine? Where will be
the Jews who will wish to immi-
crate to Palestine? The Jews of
Russia will certainly not go to
Palestine. The number of Jews
from the Anglo-Saxon countries
who may be expected to go is
small. The only possible sources
from which Palestine may draw
fresh immigration are the Balkan
countries and the Nazis have been
busy in those countries too, al
though it is probable that the pro-
gram of determination has not
gone as far there.
Still, hope abides in us. One of
the experts" of the Jewish
Scientific Institute, in a study
just completed, concludes that
many Jews might yet be saved if
the government men entrusted
with the job of rescue really went
at it right and were enough con-
with the problem. This
week a delegation from tn e
Emergency Commission for Res
cuing the Jews appeared before
Hull to urge more dy-
manic action.

BY MILTON BROWN

Is the terrible figure four mil
lion instead of two? All along
we have been saying that the
Nazis exterminated two million
Jews in Europe, but now come re-
ports that the number must be
doubled. A study made by neu-
trail observers, which has just
been received in Switzerland,
gives the number of Jews DELHI
erateIy murdered by the Nazis at
the higher figure of four mil
lions.
IF this number is correct, then
the Jewish dead are the highest
mortality suffered by any OF the
nations at war, with the exception
of Russia. In the case of Russia
to be sure, the greatest majority
killed were soldiers. In the case
of the Jews. it was civilians, men,
women and children, machne-
gunned, gassed, electrocuteo' III
cold blood.
From the Polish underground
there came a report this week
inst how the superior Nazi race
carries on these mass executions
of little children, men and women:
According to this report, the cn,ei
slaughter house is the TremDnn I.Ka

A huge building with long lines of
cells with piping for gas to choke
the victims with the greatest dis
patch. There is a special railroad
siding at the camp, to bring the
people to their execution as speed
ily as possible. The men, women
and children on arriving stare at

Nazi humOr-which reads: "YOu
Can Look To Your Future With

The victims are told to strip;
that they are to be bathed and
deloused for shipment elsewhere.
This, of course, is merely a ruse.
It is simply desired to get the
clothes of the victims with as lit
tie trouble as possible. They are
moor clothes, but then the Nazis
NAV need them to keep the Ger
man soldiers warm during the
winter offensive in Russia.
Sometimes the number of those
brought for execution exceeds the
capacity of the Death House, SO
some must wait near the building,
while others are put to death. AS
they wait, they hear the crying OF
the little children, tie hysterical
waiIing of the women, the deep
breathing of the men as they are
diving. They wait and know that
their turn is next.
