The Southern Jewish weekly. [volume] (Jacksonville, Fla.) 1939-1992, 1947-07-04
Florida's Jewish History

(OOnC1nueO IrOm rage ~
over one thousand books relating
to Florida and to Latin America
were given to the University.
Many smaller gifts have also been
received and many persons have
promised to give the University
valuable papers in the future.
These latter include Governor
Napoleon b. BrOWard's papers
and the papers of Senator David
Levy of Yulee.
Notwithstanding it's excellent
qualities, the Yonge Library still
has many needs. Among other
things, it has been discovered
that of the several religious
groups in Florida, printed mater
ials dealing with the Jews of the
State are entirely missing. Know
ing the important part which
the Jews have played in the social,
economic and political life of Flor
ida, the University library officials
have expressed an ardent desire
that all possible printed material,
from all sections of the State, be
assembled as soon as possible.
Congregational and Organiza-
tiOnaI yearbOOks, newspapers and
newspaper accounts, magazines,
pictures and letters are wanted.
The Southern Jewish Weekly has
already given a complete news
paper file, as has the Jacksonville
Jewish Community Council. Rab-
hi Sanders TOfieId of the Jack
sOnviIle Jewish Center and Rabbi
Sidney LefkOwitz of Congregation
Ahavath Chesed are attempting
to assemble the yearbOOks which
have been published and distribut-
ed by their respective cOngrega-
TONS. There are still many gaps.
The year books from the Jackson
vile Jewish Center for the years
1929-1934 and 1936-1943 are need
ed and all of the year books from
the Congregation Ahavath Chesed
except 1913 are missing. Perhaps
these missing items are in the
libraries or atticS of some of JNck-
sOnvilIe's Jewish citizens who
would be willing to give them to
the University.
Materials are needed from every
section of the State. Before
comprehensive history of the Jews
of Florida can be written it will
be necessary to gather source
material from Miami, Palm Beach,
Tampa, st. Petersburg, Key West,
Gainesville, Tallahassee, Pensa-
cola, Orlando, st. Augustine and
every other city or town where
Jews have lived and have taken
part in community life.
AS a result of many fortunate
circumstances and, the interest,
generosity and cooperation of
FIOridians, the p. X. YOnge Ii
brary of Florida History has be-
come one of the outstanding re-
search libraries in the State. 1t
is one of the best libraries of
FIOridians in the world. When
the proposed general library of
the University of Florida is built,
one whole wing will house the
YOnge collection. Let us hope
that the researcher will find avail
able there complete data on jew

IT, s.Puis Total Reparaiions
From Reich at ITS Millions
BY tho Asseeioisd Press

MOSCOW, Mar. 26.-The United
States has received less than $27s,-
100000 in reparations from Ger
many, according to a statement cir
culated among the other foreign
ministers by Secretary Of State
Marshall.
The statement, evidently intended
to meet Soviet Foreign Minister
Molotov's charges that the United
States has been taking billions in
reparations from Germany, shows
that most of what the United States
Is getting comes from external as
sets Of Germany.
The statement valued industrial
capital equipment received through
the Inter-Allied Reparations Agency
at $4,000; capital equipment re-
.ceived directly at less than $10,-
'000, 900; ships taken over at $5,Ooo,-
900, and external assets at between
$150, ,000, 900 and $3.50 900, 900.
The report listed no valuation for
patents taken from Germany and
declared that no reparations had
been received either from current
production or in gold.

-Oragnized seach for a United
States Army plane which disap-
peared almost two weeks ago ON .
15o-mile flight from Cape Harrison
to Goose Bay has been abandoned,
it was announced last night.
The announcement said planes
flying between here and Cape Har-
rison would continue to keep watch,
however, on the chance Of spotting
the missing aircraft, which was car
rying three men.
Since the plane disappeared search
planes have covered hundreds Of
square miles OF snow-covered ter
rain without finding q clue to its
whereabouts. Ground parties also
have assisted in the search.
Failure to find any wreckage has
led to speculation that the missing
plane may have crashed through
the ice on one of the numerous
lakes in the area.
The men aboard the missing craft
were 1t. Edward league of Bossier,

complaints of a conspiracy among

from Assistant Attorney General

ing that grand jury action is ex-

The printing industry has com

Small Business Committee recently

voluntary solution.

optimistic over the so-called vol
untary plan.'" He quoted Mr.. Berge
as writing him:
For the past several months we
have been investigating complaints
of conspiracy among newsprint
manufacturers operating in Canada
to restrain trade into the United
States. These manufacturers, in
cluding subsidiaries of American
firms, supply approximately 80 per
cent of the United States news

this conspiracy restricts production
