HEBREWS AWAIT

Jewish Purim Festival Re-
calls the Hitler of an
Ancient Day

The Festival OF Purim will be
celebrated in Synagogues and Jew
lsh homes this week with special
interest because the villain Of the
piece, Haman of Persia, bears a
strange resemblance to Hitler Of
Germany. Jews throughout the
world will utter O prayer for the
success Of the Allied forces and for
the repetition of the age-old miracle
the providential deliverance of civil
lization from rising tide Of barbar-
ism.
In the Book Of Esther, which will
be read in the Synagogues on the
eve Of Purim, March 8 and on the
morning of March 8, 1t Is recorded
that Haman, the Prime Minister OF
Persia planned the universal des-
truction of the Jews and, what is
more to the point, the confiscation
by him of their possessions. Ham
ans classic accuSation-'There is q
people In thy kingdom, and their
laws are different; neither keep
they the kings laws; therefore 1t
profteth not the king to suffer
them"-has served every exponent
of intolerance. The triumph oil

London, March 6.--The unending

First came q scientific explanation
Of what the London press described
as 1.-THE many-hued sunsets seen in
Great Britain recently" (The press
omitted to note who had seen such
phenomena, or where) The explana-
ton was that the terrific amount Of
debris hurled into the air by the
round-the-clcok bombing Of the con-
bombing Of the continent hangs in
the atmosphere for days afterwards
and reflects the setting suns light
In a multitude of brilliant colors.

PLEDGE FRIENDSHIP,
UNDERSTANDING AT BIG
INTERRACIAL PARTY

HOLLYWOOD, Sept. 6 (ANP)
Although invitations described
it as IAN evening of pleasure with
HOLLYWOOD Writers and Actors"
the more than 200 colored guests
who were present at the Club Ar
lington had much to ponder over
when it finally ended in the early
morning hours. For in spite of the
absence Of any formahty, the get
together was an epochal event IN
that both groups were drawn
closer in a bond Of understanding
and amity, thus empowered to pass
on the lessons learned from each
other to hundreds of others.
The affair was arranged by Rex
Ingram, noted motion picture star !;
Caleb Peterson, president Of the
Unity Award Committee, and Leon
Hardwick, member Of its board Of
directors and theatrical editor Of
the Los Angeles Sentinel. Ingram,
incidentally, heads the new, strong
organization Of Negro Republicans
for the reelection of President
Roosevelt.
In the conversations and discus
sions that followed the program,
the keynote was the same; that
fascism is the political father Of
prejudice, and the two races must
join hand in hand to spread the
gospel of democracy first to this,
then to all the united nations.

present were: John Howard Law
