Atomic Test In Pacific
 Nexi5pring

! WASHINGTON, Dec. IT - The atomic bomb is expected to get it's ocean test in a remote corner of the Pacific sometime next spring. Although the White House an- nouncement that President Truman himself suggested the joint army navy test against warships indicates desire for early action, those in a position to know say the prepara- tions may require as much as five months.
 In addition to selecting and pre- pairing target ships, it will be nec- essary to assemble an array of pre- cision instruments and scientists to work with army and navy officials on the test.
 Then will come what the two ser vices describe as large problems of logistics" moving this gigantic floating and flying laboratory to a distant ocean area and supplying it prior to and during the actual ex- periments.
 Policing of the test area in itself will be major task. Scientists can only conjecture and estimate the results of an atomic bomb explo- sion over or in the ocean. The weather, particularly the winds must be checked closely to deter mine the drift or air charged with radio activity by an explosion. Sim liar guards must be established in relation to the sea, with it's mineral content capable of radioactivity.
 Officials say it is obvious that the bombing range will be located as far as possible from populated coast lines or shipping lanes and also that it will be desirable to keep away from commercial fishing areas where the explosions and radio activity could cause serious damage.

Race Hatred and Intolerance?

the better. We must have eco
nomic equality and a friendly
feeling between all races and re-
ligions. It is surprising how many
of us practice racial intolerance
to a very marked degree. we
make fun of nearly all races and
we don't really realize how hor-
rible it is to condemn someone
sight-unseen because of color or
religion. We are equally as fool
ish when we say certain races
are not smart and that even their
features show sub-normal intel
ligence. Imagine what would
happen if we were to be judged
by our looks. Would 1 be scared!
(And so would quite a few peo-
pie I know. Some of my friends
argue that "they are all happy
let them stay like they are"
That would be the ideal solution
but for one thing: they aren't!
Many seek to rise above or better
their conditions and they have a
very hard time of it; however,
the FEPC has helped that great
deal. If every human being and
also Sen. Bilbo and Rep. Rankin
could realize that Gall men are
created equal and not seek to
keep any of them down, then we
could truly say that America is
a land of unlimited opportunity
for everyone. Many Southern
cities have taken strides to pro-
mote tolerance. I am proud that
Daytona Beach is one of them.

itself to be what it is, an evil
cancer eating at the heart OF our

little extreme, but it is true! We
are always going to have minority

LEGAL CLAIMS AGAINST
GERMANY: Compensation
for Losses Resulting from
Anti-Racial Measures. BY
Siegfried Goldschmidt. With
a Foreword by Morris R.
Cohen. The Dryden Press,
1915. 213pp. $500.
The problem of repatriating
Jews and other non-Aryans who
have suffered personal injury or
property damage resulting from
Nazi discriminatory legislation
and inhuman cruelty is a sub
ject that attracts the interest of
all those interested in the prin-
ciple of justice and humanity for
all peoples of the world regard
less of race, color or creed. It is
question of international law
that is complicated by legal ques-
tions beyond the understanding
of the average layman. It is this
problem which the late DR.. Sieg-
fried Goldschmidt tackled in a
serious and provocative study,
illegal Claims Against Germany"
published by Dryden Press, I'M
der the auspices of the Research
Institute on Peace and Postwar
Problems of the American Jew
ish Committee.
An exiled German attorney who
was widely recognized as one of
the foremost scholars and practi-
TONERS in the field of interna-
tional law, DR.. Goldschmidt, in
a closely reasoned legal argument,
states as his thesis that individuals
have the right, under internation-
al law, to present their claim for
injuries inflicted by sovereign
states. This new concept, which
brushes aside the thesis that in
dividuals can sue sovereign state
only through a sovereign state,
has already received the support
of Jan Masaryk, former Foreign
Minister of Czechoslavakia, and
the eminent American legal phil
osopher, DR.. Morris Raphael
Cohen, who has written the books
preface.
DR.. Goldschmidt's contentious
may we'll be the subject of inten-
sive argument and discussing
among legal scientists, but it is
quite evident that DR.. Cold
schmidt, as Mr.. Masaryk says,
performs "a very useful service
not only to the present-day VIC
tins, but also to the future or
ganization of a better Europe" by
his scientific approach to high
ly emotional problem. - A.J.C.

AS I SEE IT
By JACOB BECKER

Y1VO
do want my friends to be in
formed about this great Jewish
Scientific Institute known as
YIVO for unfortunately the great
masses of our peple know very
little about it.
This institution, housed in the
previous home of the Jewish
Theological Seminary, is situated
in the academic center of New
York. Jewish life in it's entirety
is reflected here in the YIVO
which embodies so many phases
of activity.
It differs from all other Jewish
institutions in that the others are
devoted mainly to rabbinical
studies, while the YIVO strives
to keep alive all trends of Jew
ish culture and traditions, regard
less of their origin. To the best
of my knowledge, it is the only
one where all types of organiza-
tons can meet on common ground,
whether they be the Zionists,
American Jewish Committee, ul-
ira orthodox or free-thinkers,
fanatic Hebraists or rabid Yid-
dishists, or Jews who speak Meth
er of these two languages. The in
stitution offers hospitality to all
shades of opinions as long as they
help to enrich Jewish life and
culture. This was, and continues
to be, the policy of the YIVO
from it's inception in Wilma, Po-
land, March 1925, and it has not
deviated from its course since.
To enumerate just a few of
it's functions; there are the de-
partment for economic and edu-
cational research, history, biblio-
graphy = the recording of literary
productions by Jews in all Ian
guages and by non-JeWs con-
corning Jewish questions-folk-
lorke and other varied branches
of interest to us. It is a veritable
fount dispensing valuable infor-
nation to Jewish and non-JeWiSh
scholars, and frequently, to gov
eminent agencies dealing with
Jewish affairs. Relevancy to cur
rent problems is the purpose of
the undertaking by this institu-
ton and it strives to link the
past to the present and mould the
two with the future in an effort
to preserve our heritage. The
perpetuation of this work by
newly trained scholars is still I'M
solved and the earnestnesS with
which is being treated can be
discerned from a remark made to
me by one of the leaders in a
solemn tone: so far, there are
more professors than students"
Probably this dearth is due to
the fact that financially such a
profession is not a profitable one.
When visited the building, and
viewed the exhibition which
Vishniac depicts so ably in his
art of the life and the struggle
of our late European brethren, I
was greatly moved, for saw in
them the tombstones marking
their graves and crematoriums.
Let us resolve to honor their men,
DRY and though their bodies have
been burned, the flame of their
spirit must be kept aglow. Their
noble work, from which they
were cut off untimely, must re-
main our privilege to continue,
and we here, shall carry the
L1-1I e.

upon the situation in the Middle

Every people has its good and

merely Jewish nationalist who
believe that the means justify the

terror is merely their way of OBJ

Harry Katz (Ben Birth presi-

will you check our list against
the list compiled by the Zionist.
Will you have your secretary
read the names of your member
ship, Willie"
William Silverman: every well,
Mr.. Bialolenki, will you kindly
read the Zionist lists?"
Mr.. Bialonkenki then does a
swift change of hats as he trans
fers himself from the Zionist
secretary to the B'nai Birth Sec

 Five feet, six inches tall she keeps her IF pounds distributed to good advantage by walking at fast clip in the crisp autumn air Walking, she finds, is the best form Of exercise for her. She nearly broke her neck learning to ride bike last summer which convinced her she wasn't the athletic type.
 Being Well-informed on world events is as important to the mod ern girl as being well-groomed Miss Sharaff thinks. Each day she pours over the newspapers and manages time to read current books and magazines, And, of course, she is sharpening her knowledge of French, Russian and German.
