ent and arch foe of fascism, who
recently returned from Europe
where he witnessed the exodus of
Jewish DPS out of the camps to
Israel, will speak Jan. 20 before
the Phoenix Zionist District.
LAMA, now affiliated with the

the renowned speaker to Phoenix.
LAMA, born in Kharkov, Russia,

ficer during World War / and, in
the 1905 was a German journal
list. He lived with Hitler for 10
days while he interviewed the
fuehrer, and lived to tell his story
to the world. He also posed as an
Italian Fascist and worked at the
same desk with Mussolini, then
exposed Italy's Duce.
Hitler's newspaper, Voelkische

After Hitler came to power,
LAMA went into voluntary exile.
Several books and plays have
been written by LAMA, and he has
won praise from top American
journalists, including Dorothy
Thompson and Edgar A. Mowrer.

On May 13, 1948, on the eve
of the Egyptian invasion of Pales-

cree imposed martial law over all
Egyptian territory and appointed
Mahmud Fahmi al Noqrashi Pasha,

governor with almost unlimited

time internment camp for Italian

Many Arrested
From May Is onwards, indis-
criminate arrests of Jews took
place in Cairo, Alexandria, and

large scale roundup of Jews be-
gan on May is. Some of the peo-
pie arrested had been placed un-
der secret police supervision sew
eral days previously.
The arrests were made on the
basis of lists prepared before
hand by the Political Bureau. The
Egyptian authorities made dis
elimination neither between Zion
lists and Jews nor between local
Jews and Jews of foreign nation
alities. Egyptians as well as Brit
ish, Italian, Greek, French and
other foreign residents of the Jew
ish faith were indiscriminately ar
rested.
During the "a hours that fol-
lowed the declaration of martial
law, 1000 Jews (including 160
girls) were arrested in Cairo, 141
(including % girls) in Alexandria
and another SO in Port Said and
Suez. On the following days and
until May 80, at least 1000 other
Jews were jailed.
The men were put in interment
camps and the girls were held in
special places of detention under
heavy police guard. In a letter one
Jewess succeeded in sending
abroad, her internment is

There are at present between
$4,000 and $4,000 Jews in Egypt
of whom 35-4O,000 live in Cairo,
10000 in Alexandria and the re-
mainder in Port Said, Tanta,
Mansura and other smaller towns.
Peaceful and law-abiding, they
have for generations tried to live
in harmony with their Moslem
brethren. Members of such fam
lilies as Cicurel, Cattaui, Mosseiri,
Suares, Rolo and Zagdun have
played prominent part in trade
and industry, banking and public
works and in agriculture.
Only a small minority of the
Jews, however, are Egyptian citi-
zens. The majority, with a status
of '1ocal Subjects" are stateless.
Applications for Egyptian nation
atty, applied for after the Mon
treux convention which brought
an end to the period of capitula-
tions, were refused. Today most
of the Jews in Egypt live in a

INDUSTRIAL LOOKING GLASS
By Allen w. Powell

An interesting side-light on the matter Of labor unions
in their relationship to Negro members was developed re-
Gently in Philadelphia that seems to be worthy Of comment.
While its significance may not reach the proportions that
many would anticipate, the situation does indicate a facet Of
union operators which can be detrimental to the Negro.
Philadelphia has long been acknowledged as the hub of the
catering industry. From the citys earliest beginnings stems
a long history Of the catering services, many Of which have
been Negro owned and operated, and the unsurpassed quality
of food dispensing afforded by these firms has been Internal
ionaIy known.
Through all Of the years it has been considered the in
vioable province Of the Negro waiter and chef to contribute
the backbone Of the industry. whether it be in the hotel dining
room, the exclusive restaurant. or the banquet hall.
In recent years, in view of the 1ucrativeness Of the work
and the comparative dignity of its status, white workers have
seen fit to enter the field, and it was not too long before union
ization was being set into operation. As in many similar cases,
the tendecy became for theunion to displace Negro workers
with the white union members, by the simple expedient of
excluding the colored chef and waiter from membership.
As a result, the plight of the Negro worker in the industry
is becoming increasingly serious, and while there are still a
good proportion OF Brown Americans in the trade, continued
displacement will remove them from the potent status they
have enjoyed. A recent decision by the local Labor Relations.
Board has enabled a Negro unit to maintain its bargaining
rights with one Of the major companies, but it is believed
that the white unions will attempt to make further inroads
into the industry.

|WAA Expects 10 Cut
10000 Employees Off
Staff by June 80

The War Assets Administration
expects to cut its staff to 10000 by
June 30-a reduction of 10000 from
the present total.
The surplus property disposal
agency had peak employment Of
SO 600 in November, 1915.
Administrator Jess Larson last
week told the Senate Executive Ex-
penditures Committee that WAA
should be transferred to the Fed
eral Works Agency. He reported
today the Government had realized
50 ,900, 900, 900 from surplus property
sales up to March l.
Property which the Government
bought for $21 900, 0,00o, 900 has been
disposed Of thus far. About $12,-
400 ,0O0, 900 Of this on the basis Of
original acquisition cost, went by
sale. The rest was disposed OF as
scrap, donations, transfers, leases
and 80 forth.
Sales Of the property originally
purchased for $12, 400, 900 900 brought
about $3,700, 900, 900 in cash. Mr..
Larson said. The sum Of $780,
100000 remained after deducting
administrative operating expenses
of 1894, 10000
"The ratio Of cost to realization
from disposals has been steadily
creeping up," Mr.. Larson explained.
Although operating costs have
been curtailed materially there Is
reason to assume that at some
point in the near future the cost Of
operating will practically equal the
return to the Government"
Besides reducing its personnel
total WAA also has been closing
many of its Offices throughout the
country in recent months. Mr.. Lar
son said only 10 Of the original SO
field disposal regional Offices will
remain by June 80.
