Ludwig LewisOhn Declares Rescue of Oppressed
 Jews Important Task

While the rescue of the oppressed Jews and the Zionist movement for the return of the Jews to Palestine are inspearable facts the former because of the present plight of these people Is more imperative at this time declared Ludwig Lewisohn famed author and lecturer speaking before an audience of 200 at Temple 1rsael last night.
 Citing that the Jews are not with out responsibility for their present crisis, the speaker asserted that the Jewish people "are again the wit resses and the martyrs of the down. fall of Christenoom.
 Declaring that the human races is the only true race on the face of the earth, Mir. Lewisohn ridiculed the theory of Hitler's that the Nazi'S are pure "araynism.'
 Zionism he declared is not the result of fleeing from wrath-"a fleeing for ones life"-it was born ill the late 18th century when this world was an open door to Jew and Christian alike. The destiny of the Jew, he declared, is the ultimate return to Palestine.
 Prior to MT. LewiSohn's talk, Mrs. Max Matzkin read passage from the authors most recent novel. Breathe Upon These. Rabbi Will liam P. Greenfield of Beth-El Syna- gogue discussed current Jewish topics and Rabbi David Polish of Temple Israel introduced the guest speaker.
 The lecture was under the aus pices of the Waterbury Zionist dis trict.

 Mr. scott-Smith who spoke on the subject "PoSt-War Planning" cited the fact that at present the mas joFity of the city's downtown park iLg lots came into naturalization because of the demolition of build ings which no longer profitable eon- structions. The result. the speaker said, is that these lots are but a temporary nature and if further building should be undertaken will result in an increase Of the park ing problem.
 Principle endeavor. MT. scott- smith stated. was to turn the aFteF- ial streets back to their original purpose of trafiie movement.
 The importance Of restricting curb parking on one or both sides Of ex. isting aterlal streets should be caEe- fully considered. Mir. Scott Smith continued. To increase the carrying capacity of these streets by widen. ing involves tremendous expense in central business areas where the problem is most acute.

Bowles Outlines Plan
 To Avoid Depression
National OPA Administrator Praises Vigorous Tough.
 minded Approach of Eric Johnson to Postwar Ills

New Haven, Conn, May 9-(UP) Guaranteeing that postwar col- lapse will be prevented" was seen today by National OPA Admins trator Chester Bowles as the basic function of the government of the future"
 Bowles, delivering Yale Univer- sity's Lamont lecture for 1914 last night, declared it is equally plain that the more effective the guar antee, the more widely 1t is accepted , the less will be the positive action which government will be called upon to make good upon its com- rnitments."
 He outlined a three-point pro- gram of government responsibility: To protect and support the level of prices and wages; to insure that no i barrier will stand in the way of a large volume of exports when the war is over; and to prepare a shelf of necessary public works, not just anything that will provide jobs, SC that they may be available at the proper time and in whatever volume may prove necessary"
 Bowles urged recognition now oi the need for government action after the war because, he said, "ti we permit another great depression to overwhelm us, we shall be forced to resort to such bag full of gov- ernment cures that we may entirely lose our character of a free economy and a free people.
 "The function of government ir modern, highly industrializeo economy such as ours must be al all times to sustain the elvel of na- ton income, to insure that markets are available for everything we can
