DEAR Mr.. HEARST:

American Legion and its 1921 900 members
including 25,000 World War II veterans.
Again the Legion has had highly sue
cessful year and owes you and your news
papers its thanks for your continued sup
port of its programs.
You gave us much of your valuable space
for the successful Legion-sponsored egs-
lation to provide $3OOOO,OOO for home and
farm loans for World War II veterans
Our efforts to maintain all American
principles and doctrines always have your CO.
operation and support.

newspapers for their progressive steps in aid
ing our fighting men, particularly for your
WAR-WOUNDED FUND and CHRISTMAS

than three years.
The veterans Of both World War I and

upon you.

1t is true enough that the officer
personnel of the American army and

of Pacific warfare, and mastered it in

But America had taken DES-

ways be the same MASTERS of it

Just now concluded.
The existing officer training ia
cilities at West Point and Annapolis
could never produce ENOUGH such
officers even if they were capable of
producing the right kind of officers
which they were obviously and al
most disastrously NOT capable of
doing in the past.
If the American army and navy
are ever to be permanently proficient
in Pacific warfare, they MUST pro-
duce their trained officer personnel
exactly where they produced them
abundantly during the recent Pacific
war-on the Pacific Coast of the
United States, which alone of all the
areas of the United States has the
suitable topography, the favorable
climate and the unlimited range and
variety of space essential to that
purpose.

DEAR Mr.. HEARST:

called to the splendid articles on General Of

Lee Van Alta, writing under the title, From
Bataan 20 Victory"
We feel that these articles are splendid
incentive 10 not only the American public but
also TO our veterans who have played such
large part in this campaign.
They are also an incentive to our other
veterans and it's the type Of journalism that
has always made the Hearst papers stand out
as the veterans friend.
The writer can remember very well the
fight made by the old New York American
and the other Hearst papers since World
War l. and if our lawmakers had needed the
words of your papers and the voice Of the
American Legion this war could not have
happened.
May we as publishers group compliment
you again on your great work. Not only for
the veteran but for every American.
Most cordially.

temptible parent-the one who should be
Stunned and looked upon with scorn by
his relatives and friends-is the one who
makes no effort, makes no sacrifice to
insure his child knowledge Of God.
Let us never forget that solemn ad-
montion of the Master:
''Suffer little children, and forbid
them not, to come unto me; for of such
is the kingdom of Heaven"
1t strikes me that the Youth For
Christ movement opens the door 10 the
children Of our country so that they can
at least get glimpse Of Christs truth,
life and love. Once they get taste of
that, all parental delinquency, all parental
neglect will never keep them from seek
ing that spiritual stimulation they can
only enjoy by famiarizing themselves
with Our Lord, Jesus Christ.

WASHINGTON, (JTA) - The
active contribution made by Jew
ish scientists to the discovery of
the Atomic Bomb, leading to the
"atomic age" is emphasized in
various circles here as proof of
the benefit which the Allied coun-
tries derived from admitting Nazi-
prosecuted Jews. Many of the
scientists responsible for the dis
covery and the development of
the method to release atomic
energy are Jewish refugees from
Europe.
Leading the list is DR.. Lise
Neither, Jewish woman physi-
cist, who was born in Vienna in
The Southern Jewish weekly. [volume] (Jacksonville, Fla.) 1939-1992, 1945-09-01
Jewish Refugees Scientists Lauded
For Their Contribution To
Atomic Discovery

1870 and who since 1922 was a
lecturer in Berlin University. In
1888, when the Nazis came to
power in Germany, she was dis
missed from the University on
racial grounds, but continued for
some time her research for a
method of releasing atomic ener-
gy at the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute
in Berlin. Just about the time
when she completed her discov-
cry, she was exiled from Germany
as a Jewess. She took her secret
along with her denying it to the
NaZiS.
Second on the list is DR.. Otto
Robert Frisch, also born in
The Southern Jewish weekly. [volume] (Jacksonville, Fla.) 1939-1992, 1945-09-01

| Vienna, VINO was ulSInlSSeu do
a Jew from the Hamburg Uni
versity in 1888. After DR.. Neither
was compelled to leave Germany,
she lost no time communicating
the results of her research to DR..
Frisch who was at that time in
Copenhagen, working as associate
of DR.. Niels H. David Bohr, one
of the worlds greatest scientists.
Both DR.. Frisch and DIR. Neither
repeated the experiments and be-
yond no doubt that they had
discovered the long sought meth
cd of releasing atomic energy.
DR.. Bohr, whose mother is
Jewish, was at that time in the
United States. On January "a,
1899, the Meitner-Frisch expert
ment was repeated at Columbia
University in New York by DR..
Bohr and Prof. Enrico Fermi, an
anti-Fascist refugee from Italy
whose wife is Jewish. Three days
later DR.. Bohr and Prof. Fermi,
both holders of the Nobel prize,
dramatically announced the re-
suits of these experiments at a
meeting of physicists at George
Washington University in Wash
ington.
Late in 1899 the possibility of
using atomic energy for military
purpose was brought to the at
tention of President Roosevelt.
He appointed a committee to sur
vey the problem. This resulted in
the establishment later of a spe-
cial laboratory in an isolated area
in the vicinity of Santa Fe, N. M.
This laboratory where the Atom
ic Bomb was "born," has been
planned, organized and directed
by DR.. J. Robert Oppenheimer
of the University of California,
a Jewish scientist, who was born
in New York and graduated from
Harvard in 1925. He later attend
ed Cambridge and received his
Pho. from the University of
Goettingen in Germany in 1927.
"The development of the atom
ic bomb ITSELF" Secretary of War
Henry L. Stimson. said in an of
fetal statement recently, "has
been largely due to DR.. Open
heimer's genius and the inspiration
and the leadership he has given to
his associates" DR.. Oppenheimer
is fellow of the American Acad-
envy of Arts and Sciences, the
American Physical Society, the
American Philosophical Society
and the National Academy of
Sciences.
Credit for helping in the de-
velopment of the Atomic Bomb
was given in a statement issued
this week by former Prime Min
lister Churchill to Prof. Rudolf
Peierls, a Jewish scientist from
Germany who was forced to leave
his native land after the Nazis
came to power there, and who is
now a British subject. Another
Jewish refugee scientist credited
by Churchill with contributing to
the development of the Atomic
Bomb is DR.. Franz Eugen Simon
who was admitted to England
after being forced to leave Ger
manv
