JEWISH REHABILITATION
FUND SET UP

BUDAPEST CWNS)-The pro-
ceeds of property left by heirless
Jews in Hungary are to be used
to rehabilitate Jewish life under
a bill passed by the Hungarian
Parliament this week.
The Parliament voted to estab-
lish a Jewish Rehabilitation Fund
for that purpose. During the de-
bate on the bill, which was passed
without dissenting vote, both
the Small Holders Party and the
Social Democrats and other par
ties disassociated their followers
from anti-Semitism. The Small
Holders Party leaders said Hun
garian farmers were never anti
Semitic" while the other party
leaders stressed that Hungarian
labor had always been opposed
to discrimination against Jews.

BROOKLYN LARGEST AREA

NEW YORK (WNS)-The, bor-
ough of Brooklyn is the largest
Jewish community in the world,
it was disclosed here this week
with the publication of a survey
made by the Brooklyn Church
and Mission Federation.
More than a third of Brook
lyn's 2,000,786 inhabitants are of
the Jewish faith, the report stat
ed, and whereas since 1900 Brook
lyn's population has doubled the
Jewish population has more than
tripled its numbers. The survey
also indicated that not more than
one-fourth of the Jews in Brook
lyn are affiliated with syna-
gogue or temple.

STRAUSS FESTIVAL

Oscar Straus, the eminent COM
poser of melodic operettas and
waltzes, will present a rich and
varied program of waltz music at
the University Auditorium on
Wednesday, October %. In addi-
ton to the 80 piece orchestra
there will be four soloists. His
son, Erwin, pianist and composer
of note, is one of the soloists.
A story is told of Straus and
George Gershwin, who admired
leach other. Gershwin wanted to
write an American light operetta
in the Vienesse style and Straus
had some new scores in mind
which he wanted to convey in
the American idiom. The musical
sessions together resulted in each
giving a superb rendition of
his own compositions. Gershwin
never wrote an operetta a la vi
ensee and Straus never penned a
jazzy composition.
Only recently Oscar and Erwin
Straus learned that a trunk of
priceless manuscripts left in a
Paris Hotel when they fled the
Nazis has just been found. They
had reconciled themselves to its
loss, only to have it recovered
from a hotel basement.
Recognizing that this concert
would have wide appeal to every
one, including youngsters, the
scale of prices range from $3.50
to ST. Willett Meng Ahlgren
management is to be congratu-
lated for bringing this musical
treat to Tucson.

HODGEPODGE
BY Virginia PistOr

HODGEPODGE indeed this
week-and 1 find myself in the
position of actually being a kind
of rowing correspondent at the
moment.
On my first trip to Chicago and
the middle west in more years
than l care to remember, l find
the scene little changed.
Chicago is still a huge and hur-
rying city with high degree OF
glamor, especially in the evening
when the lighted windows of the
skyscrapers give it dream like
quality. There is about Chicago,
nevertheless, a certain indefinable
air of naivete, a quality one feels
but can't explain. For instance,
the shop windows are full OF
smart clothes, but Chicago wom-
en- haven't heightened their skirts
even an inch and many of them
wear an extremely high coiffure
which gives them a slightly top
heavy look with their short skirts.
However, I saw many hand
some suits and lots of good look
ing coats and it was fun for
Tucsonian to see all the lovely
and flattering furs again.
Chicago housewives are having
the same food difficulties we have
in Tucson. Any kind of meat is
practically an unknown quantity;
mayonnaise and fats, along with
Kleenex and toilet tissue are diff
fcult to find. Still, all the wom-
en- with whom talked about food
seemed to approach the problem
with a nice philosophical and
cheerful air.
Speaking of -cheerfulness, was
completely enchanted by the
warmth and friendliness of Chi
cago cab drivers. Without excep-
ton they provided a high degree
of helpfulness as well as salty and
stimulating conversation, so that
it became a positive pleasure to
tip the twenty-five percent I had
been told they expected.
1t was great fun to go to the
theatre in big city setting again.
l was surprised and impressed no
end to find real orchestras in the
pit.
There is something about the
atre orchestra which to me, at
least, puts one into exactly the
right frame of mind for seeing
play, so that as the curtain rises
one is just at the right peak of
excited expectancy to listen to the
opening line with real pleasure
Cor I am being pretty naive too?)
I liked HARVEY, as who
wouldn't. Joe E. Brown, who
heads the Chicago company, did
superb job, right down to a per-
fectly hilarious curtain speech
which was almost as good as the
play.

BrIckman NaLlOnaIIy hHOWH dS
Sports ImpreSsariO, Business Man
and Lawyer.
Lawyer - business man - i'm
pressario of tennis, fights and cir
cuses-eminently successful at all
of them, that's Robert Brickman.
In Tucson his name is linked with
the proposed large hotel on N.
Stone. Recently, together with
Thomas King, formerly of Niles,
Ohio, he purchased the Tucson
Laundry.
Mr.. Brickman continues his
many interests in Cleveland tho
Tucson is now his permanent
home. He has a large law prac-
tice there, and still promotes top
notch prize fights on alternate
Monday nights. His eyes gleam
and his voice quickens as he tells
that Jimmy Bivins is performing
on the 14th and Sugar Robinson
on the 18th, VS.. Artie Levine. Good
fighters all of them! Recently
he used Barney Ross as guest
referee.
He organized mammoth events
during the bond drives. In April,
1943. one sport show alone sold
$1,2OO,OO0 in bonds. His talents
have been directed to promoting
crash stunt driving with such men
as Ace Williams and Lynch.
Asked about the hotel, Mr..
Brickman said he hoped to get
started the first of the year. 1t IS
going to be a beautiful, large
structure on N. Stone between
Drachman and Mabel, To give
expression to his constant crea-
tiveness and ingenuity, he is
thinking ahead to building Tor
Tucson a sporting arena seating
some $500. It will be a setting
not only for fights, professional
and collegiate football, sport
tournaments, but also improvised
for skating rink to present skat-
ing features.
Robert Brickman received his
law degree at the University OF
Michigan in 1925. He became an
attorney for a number of pro-
moters and soon found himself
a partner in some of these enter
prises. This added variety and
zest to the life of lawyer.
Mrs. Brickman and their two
sons came to Tucson in October,
1889, and shortly afterward estab-
lished their home at 2315 E. Haw-
thorne. Melford graduated from
Tucson High and is now with the
armed forces at Casa Blanca. Da-
vid is at Mansfield.
So, Mr.. Brickman feels already
he is an old-timer. He liked Tue
son ever since his first visit and
anticipates spending most of his
time in Tucson hereafter. He
plans to make periodic visits to
Ohio since Mr.. King will remain
here permanently. His son, Tim
othy King, graduate of Notre
Dame, is now looking after the
business interests of his father in
Ohio.
Incidentally, with Mr.. Brick
mans deep interest in sports, it
can be reasonably expected he'll

When Mr.. West first suggested q
lowering of the minimum imprison-
ment. he was sharply denounced by
Mrs. Leslie B. Wright of the FEEDER
alton of Women's Clubs, who said
his objections were picayune and
that persons who were selling mar
Tijuana and other drugs to children
were nothing but vermin and ought
to be exterminated.
Mr.. West retorted that if the
penalties were made too harsh the
courts would be inclined to grant
probation or suspended sentences.
Support for the bill was voiced
by Mrs. Gertrude. Parks, president
and Mrs. Harvey w. Wiley of the
Federation of Women's Clubs.

said.
What about steaks if there weren't
enough to go around? he was asked.
Mr.. Mccarthy paused a bit, then
suggested it might be turned into
stew. Then he added the steaks,
too, might be drawn by lot.
Asked If he thought the inquiry
would be a success, he replied:

For Bureaus Return

The House late yesterday passed
and sent to the Senate a s233 ,l57,-

for the return here of Patent Office
employees and relocation of the
Rural Electrification Administra-
ton in Washington.
Other funds were earmarked to
cover the wage increases granted
Government workers by last July's S
Federal Pay Act.
The 100000 voted to complete

cause Of the continuing acute

Clash on Pearl Harbor
BY the Assoeioted Press

A hot debate over the Pearl Har-
bor inquiry broke out on the House
floor late yesterday between Major
ity Leader Mccormack and two Re-
publican members of the joint COM
mittee conducting the probe.
Mr. Mccormack asserted that Rep
resentative Gearhart, Republican, OF
California, one of the committee
men, had used the investigation to
smear the name" of the late Presi-
dent Roosevelt, and stands con-
victed of it." He, added that he was
not attributing political motives to
Representative Keefe, Republican,
of Wisconsin, the other member.
But Mr.. Keefe, as well as Mr..
Gearhart criticized Mr.. Mccormack
and contended the Republicans on
the committee are only seeking the
truth. Mr.. Gearhart challenged Mr..
Mccormack "to find one statement
in which a partisan inference can
honestly be derived.
Those who cry partisanship will
draw the contempt of the Amer
lean people as they so richly de-
serve" Mr.. Gearhart added.
Mr. Mccormack said Roosevelt
licked the Republicans four times
in life, and since they've raised
the issue now in the Pearl Harbor
case. he will lick them in death
in this years elections.
The controversy f1ared after COM
