large numbers early this after
noon. An hour and half later
upward or 5000 mad rur- rr1F- garts

refuge behind our lines.
Many emerged from a single
air raid shelter three stories un-

through the ruins, good number
displayed copies of the American
ultimatum which h a d been
dropped on Aachen demanding
that the city be surrendered or
destroyed. The civilians figured a
copy OF the ultimatum would
serve as a safe conduct pass.
LACK FOOD. WATER
The civilians had been without
food or water several days. There
were 70 and S0-year-old men and
women carrying packs on their
backs that would have taxed the
strength of a seasoned storm
trooper. There were girls in their
teens with fur coats and dis
heveled hair. And there were
little tots, crying and clutching
their dolls.
Even a hardware salesman
had a wagon loaded with pots and
pans TO sell.

wa "ASoA VIZ HAIL.
There is one kindness of fate
for which the Jews can be ever
lastingly thankful, says Sig
mund Livingston in Must Men
Hate" (Harpers: S2.50), and
that is that none by the great
est stretch of the imagination
can call Nazism and all its at
tendant evils a Jewish conspi-
racy." Here at least is one
charge against which the most
libeled group of people in his
tory will not have to defend
themselves.
For an impartial, concrete
and interesting analysis of an
answer TO the many accusations
hurled at the Jew today, yester-
day and the day before that,
read Mr.. Livingston's book. He
breaks down anti-Semitism into
l.. psychological elements, states
cases and facts, offers a possible
solution to a contemporary
world problem. 1t is a book that
no thinking person should miss.
Tracing anti-Semitism as an
emotional attitude conditioned
by certain negative teachings in
childhood which prepare the
mind ito receive hospitality ev-
cry accusation against the Jew"
through the vague fallacies &C.
cepted without thought by the
adult, through the active hate
propaganda propounded by the
Nazis, the author crystallizes
much shrug-of-the shoul d r
hearSay. He points out the orig
inal historical basis for certain
unquestioned attitudes, shows
the actual position of the Jew
in different civilizations, de-
hunks a good many propaganda
hoaxes, indicates paradoxes,
proves that "anti-Semitism as
sumes a conclusion and then in
vents a fictitious premise" He
lists character debts and cred
its, material and spiritual con-
tributions of individual Jews.
BY supplying a wealth of fact
ual material, Sigmund Living
ston goes far toward providing
his own cure for an emotional
mass disease: that every accu-
sation against the Jew can and
should be answered by abso-
lutte truth"

Paula Wharton, novelist and
Hollywood scenarist, pops in.
She's the next tenant, and the

From here on the comedy

her husband Max, who is a fam

the laughs build up strongly be-
fore the Luptons depart. Most
fun in the whole play comes
when Max's c. o., Colonel Fol-
ey, calls with his wife, who is
an avid Paula Wharton fan.
Cow, who wants Max back be-
hind a desk, does his best to
queer him with the colonel, re-
calling an editorial written by
Max called 1.-The Backward
