WRONG, MIR. FARLEY!
To those who knew Franklin
D. Roosevelt, James Farley's ar
ticles in Golfers don't make
sense Especially unbelievable
are the passages in which Farley
implies that Roosevelt was sub
missive to anti-Semitic trends
and afraid to appoint Jews to Of
flee because he wanted to avoid
displeasing Jew-haters His
appointment of F'rankfurter and
Morgenthau and his close coop
Grafton with Sam Rosenman, just
to mention three examples, con-
tradict Farley's accusation.
FLASH
1t is said that the real reason
for Sumner WeIleS' laSt-minute
cancellation of his speech before
the 5Oth annual Zionist COnven-
ton in New York was this: He is
slated to succeed General Mar
shall as Secretary of State in the
near future, and was advised not
to compromise himself by parti-
cipation in a purely Zionist af-
fair You see, he may have to
deal officially with the UN Com
Missions report on Palestine.
HOLLYWOOD SEES LIGHT
Until a year ago Hollywood
movie moguls were afraid to
tackle anti-Semitism . The boys
who know all about box office re-
action turned their thumbs down
on stories that dealt openly with
the evil of Jew-hatred But
great change has come over the
movie studios Not only is
"Gentlemen's Agreement" being
produced as super-feature but
RKO has already placed on the
market a film titled "Crossfire,"
which is a courageous expose of
anti-Semitism The CONNER
cial-minded financiers of the eel
luloid products have been watch
ing the box office on "Crossfire"
and now they see the light -.
The returns are very satisfactory
. Yes, it really pays to produce
decent films.

It's an outrage and I'm awfu1ly
sorry but that's the way it is. I
could ask them for a reservation
for you but I don't like to en-
barras YOU"
Lest We Forget
Well, that's the way it was all
along the vacation journey Mr..
Zilch was planning =. all the
better places. Mr.. Zilch reported
the whole matter to me in mood
of philosophy "You see," he
said, "there seems to be no vaca-
ton from being Jew and maybe
that's all right too" He said his
wife had complained bitterly, and
she had had a headache about it
all the next day for which as
pirins didn't do any good. The
aspirins having failed, Mr.. Zilch
himself tried to comfort her. Yes,
he told her, maybe we should
thank God for clerks in the better
hotels who don't let us forget our
selves. A Jew may want to forget
it for awhile but there stands the
hotel clerk to remind him that he
is Jewish.
Thus Mr.. Zilch spoke to his
wife. It's all right that we're not
allowed to forget we are Jews,
he went on. He said that Jews
who are made to keep on remem-
bering who they are may come
around to asking what they are
Jews for. If they got the answer
right, they would discover that
they are the original heirs of the
Ten Commandments .. the
moral law . and perhaps they
should be doing something to help
the moral law around in the world
which bad1V needs if "That'S
u.s." said Mr.. Zilch. God bless
the hotel clerks who remind u.s."
Mr.. Zilch's speech didn't do his
wife's headache any good. She
said he couldn't make her believe

PLAIN TALK
by ALFRED 5ECAL 4
PLAIN TALK
By Alfred Segal
ZILCH ON VACATION

! his vacation has started, JeWlSnly
speaking. He says he was hoping
for a vacation in which he could
put away all the cares of being
Jewish, but what does he get?
With him being Jewish is not just
a matter of feeling Jewish on oc-
casion when, Jewishly, he gets
hurt. It's an everyday, all-day
adventure with him. Scarcely is
he out of bed when some one is
calling him at home and telling
him to be sure to be at the meet
ing that intends to do something
about the black Jews of Abys-
sinia "It's luncheon and
don't forget to be there"
He is in his office in the very
midst of making the fall trade a
stimulating enterprise when he
gets summons to rally TO the
cause of needy rabbis in Europe.
His wife calls up to report she
has just had letter from a new
found relative, a refugee in Paris,
and he should send him some
money at once. At 8 Mr.. Zilch
(though his name isn't really
Zilch) has to be at meeting of
the initial gifts committee of the
big campaign. The chairman will
make a speech. He will seem to
stare through and through Mr..
Zilch, as if saying, "And what
are you going to do about it,
Zilch? I hear you've had a good
year."
It's II pm. before he gets home
because he had to attend dinner
preliminary to a campaign in be-
half of a Jewish theological
school. His wife has been waiting
up for him. She asks him what
he has done about her newly
found relative in Paris. Had he
sent any money? No, he had for
gotten that. Mrs. Zilch says he's
just an ego-centric person Z.
always yourself your busi-
ness yourself" She is still in
the midst of her TRADE when Mr..
Zilch composes himself to bed.
Blessed sleep falls on his tired
mind and takes him away from
it all.
Vacation Plans
That has been the pattern of
Mr.. Zilch's daily Jewish life since
last summer. So he was looking
forward happily to vacation time
and escape: To go to distant
places, on top of some mountain,
or to some ocean coast. He would
travel by auto because in trains
he might meet people and pretty
soon he might find himself in an
argument about Palestine. He
would meet some travelling sales
man who would be sure to bring
that up.
No, none of that! Mrs. Zilch,
taken by the perfect serenity of
the journey, might herself dis
cover peace for her constantly
worried soul. ''The first thing we
must do," he said to her, ''is to
get in touch with travel agency
that will arrange all the hotel
reservations. Then we'll have no
trouble ,at all.'
Mr. Zilch wasn't going to stint
himself on this vacation. 1t had
been a hard year, what with all
the Jewish matters he had had
diligently to look after, and he
was going to get as good accomo-
dations as were to be found. AS
he liked to say, you can't take it
with you and you may as well
enjoy it here.
The travel agency had exactly
the right places. He knew a nice

The defense had subpoenaed
Marshall but the Judge pointed

about the summons this morning.
The same no-time-wasting rule

Along The Cape Fear

WILMINGTON'S BIG FIRE-On
February %, 1877, the city was
visited by one of its greatest
catastrophes - a fire which did
an estimated ST. 900, 900 damage.
The fire was started when the
steamer "Bladen'' caught free on
the Cape Fear river. The records
say that the captain made a des-
perate effort to reach the docks
at Wilmington.
He succeeded in doing SO, and
those aboard the ship were saved.
But the flames spread from the
boat to the docks and warehouses
and soon a large part of the water
front was ablaze. The warehouses
and a large number of business
houses and residences we're de-
stroyed.
ANOTHER FIRE - A second
disastrous fire occurred in Febru-
| arv of 1864. It was reported that
