AS family newspaper the Journal should consider
professional standards above the questionable circulation
boost of sensationmongers We Jews particularly dis
essed that this newspaper which otherwise sympathetic
prosecuted Jewry Zionsm and Israel should become
platform from which Pegler the columns has been trum
peng his bes against the Jewish people, meticulously
selecting Jewish for special emphasis in his attacks
personalities in public life with whom he dsagrees and
believing yelled threats against u Jews who do not
hate-to-hate with him.
Recently Peger has singled out Jewish DPS and refugees
particular target for attack alleging that AYrans lost
their lives in World War because they forfeited their rights
to immigration that non ArYans fleeing Hterism might

Jewish DPS made ARBITRARILY under duress and
warned that a consequence. there may some day be
"rsadjustment by impatient demand.
Pegler is calling for persecution of the Jews He is
guilty of disappearing the facts The newspaper which
prints his lies Willingly unwtngy lends its resources
at the feet of scoundre who violates every tradition OF
journalistic decency.
We believe that there would be tears shed by the
large majority of thinking respectable people who
read the Journal should this substitute another
columnist for the hatecrier. Pegler.

Dear Mr.. Moscovitz
Please accept our sincere thanks
and appreciation for your kind
contribution toward Nachlath
Jacksonville which you had made
at the Third Seder and which was
duly turned over to us by the
President of your Zionist District.
We, who have been privileged
to witness the establishment of
the State of Israel in fulfillment
of our dreams and in reward of
fifty years of organized Zionist
effort, will surely appreciate that
many and difficult tasks still lie
ahead.
The greatest immigration and
resettlement program in the his
tory of our people has now been
initiated. Homeless Jews, in sub
stantial numbers, are now eiller-
ing Israel and many more thous-
ands are eagerly awaiting the
earliest opportunity to do so. For
the absorption of this record num-
Der of new arrivals, forty addi-
tional agricultural settlements
must be founded on the land re-
deemed by the Jewish National
Fund.
You, who have devotedly served
and supported our Land Redemp-
ton Program, will, we are sure,
now intensity your efforts and
help discharge the duties that
these historic and crucial times
have imposed upon all of us.
Sincerely yours,

We have watched with interest
the comments to the editor of the

his readers regarding whether or
not to discontinue featuring the
column by Westbrook Pegler. We
have noticed a divided opinion
among his readers. This is to be
expected from newspaper which
circulates among all classes of peo-
pie. The important question is not
so much if people read the infor-
nation perpetrated by Pegler. but
the ethics of journalism. We could

Dear Il:
Your editorial entitled Jewish
Issue Raised in Florida Court"
was read today. I intellectually
concur with your viewpoints. The
editorial was justified and timely
for our pure Fountains of JUS
tice"-the Courts-must perpetu-
ally be kept untainted from any
unnecessary religious views or ex-
lpressions, and maintained upon an
equal basis for all religious
groups, regardless which group it
might be, so as never to create
the impression, either purposely
or innocently, that the Courts of
our land are composed for one
creed rather than another.
1 have been a subscriber and
reader of your paper practically
from the beginning of your jour
nalistic career, and 1 have avidly
observed the continued growth
and improvement of your paper.
You, certainly, have been doing a
good job.
I am happy to write that your
newspaper is favorably received
here by my friends because of the
icandidness and fairness in which
all news is presented.

STOCKHOLM, Sept. 30.-(Air-

tanned from the treatment of tu-
berculosis with a new Swedish
preparation, las, or para-amino-
salic acid, are reported in the
Swedish Medical Journal by two
prominent physicians, Drs. 30
Christensen and S. Sjolin. So far,
the new remedy, which has been
developed by Professor Jorgen
Lehman, head of the clinic labor
atory of the Sahlgren Hospital in
Gothenburg, has proved extraor-
dinarily efficacious against sec
ondary tuberculosis of the bowels
The method, though still re-
garded as an experiment, is fol-
lowed with great attention in
Swedish medical circles. A total
of twenty-five cases of pulmon-
airy tuberculosis of the bowels, all
in an advanced stage, have been
treated. Prior to the PAS treat
ment. all known therapeutical
means had been tried without sue

was in the days of our grandpar-
ents-albeit the rice-porridge, and
the almond hidden in it, have been
scarce during the war and the
postwar period.
During the travel season, in the
height of the summer, we have
had the great joy of greeting old
friends and countrymen on their
visit to Denmark. Unfortunately.
conditions of travel such as we
have been able to offer at the pres
ent time, have not always been
everything that ones heart could
desire. We haven't had quite ade-
quate hotel and pension accommo-
dations to offer when 1t was a
question OF finding room also for
the stream of international tour
lists visiting us at the same time.
But at Christmas, accommoda-
lions are more ample. Hotels and
pensions are ready to serve our
visitors in an altogether satisfac-
tory manner. The rush of interna-
tional tourists has lessened. And
a Danish family will know no
greater Christmas joy than that
which comes through a visit from
old friends or relatives from far
away. Conditions CT travel between
U.S.A. and Denmark have i'm
proved since the war, and the great
lines are arranging festive Christ
mas excursions to the coming
Yuletide.
l believe that the whole Danish
people are in accord with me
when I say that it will bring great
joy into Danish homes when many
Danes abroad pay Christmas Wis
its to their cid country.
They will be received with the
hospitality that for us Danes is
at one with Christmas.

served. In three cases it proved
only temporary, while lasting i'm
provement was achieved in nine

The authors state that PAS may
prove an invaluable aid in chang
ing critical inoperable cases of
pulmonary tuberculosis into a
condition in which therapeutical
collapse surgery may be intro
duced. According to Swedish
newspapers, Professor Lehman
will report the results of his four
years of experiments with the new
preparation to the Anti-Tubercu-
losis Congress to be held in Oslo
next June.

Danish Prime Minister Bids
Danes Welcome For Christmas

No greater joy can come to Dan
1sh families in the Old Country
than a Christmas visit from
friends or relatives in America, is
a message from Hans Hedtoft,
Prime Minister of Denmark.
In statement recalling some of
the old and hallowed Danish
Christmas traditions, Mr.. Hedtoft
assures visitors of that hearty well
come and hospitality which insep-
arably attaches to Christmas. And
referring to the Christmas excur-
sions planned by the great trans
port lines, including the. Swedish
American Line, he points out that
the summer travel seasons rush is
over and that the accommodation
of Danish hotels and pensions will
be ample for Yuletide visitors. The

to Denmark this year, the Grips

follows:
MANY Danes who have settled
abroad and found a new home
there look back with pleasure to
the cozy traditions that attach to
a Danish Christmas. Through rel
atives and friends 1 have received |
the impression that Danish fam

with rice-porridge, gifts and

Contract Valid
Despite Unions
Role With tn

Perth Amboy (LPA)-The New
Jersey Supreme Court last week
ruled that a company must fulfill
its contract with a union whether
the union has complied with the
non-C Communist affidavit provis-
ions of the Taft Hartley act or not.
The non-complying Mine, Mill &,
Smelter Workers Union has two
year contract with the Volco Brass
and Copper Co., with a wage re-
opening clause, which was effective
last March. After several months
of negotiations the company came
up with a 2c-an-hour increase offer
which the membership of Local 673
rejected.
Then the employer broke off
negotiations on the grounds that
the MMSWU hadn't filed the Taft
Hartley affdavits. Altho the con-
tract provided for arbitration, no
help was forthcoming from the
Federal Mediation & Cancellation
Service.
Jersey Supreme Court Justice
Frederick r. Cole said that the
union had bargained in good faith
and that the contract must be re-
spected by the company too. FMCS

1--WE are indeed amazed to dis
cover that this assignment has II
turn been placed under the direc-
ton of DR.. Lewis Merriam whose
writings and expressions in the
field of social security give ample
evidence not only that he is com
.pletely incapable of making the
kind of objective study of this sub
ject which Congress has asked of
your commission but also that his
whole approach to the subject is
known to be so warped by his pre-
dilections in favor of a means-test
relief system that no competent
student will have confidence in his
findings.
"The technical matters of admin
istration under which a program
operates cannot be divorced from
the detectives and social purposes
of the program. 1t is inconceivable,
therefore that DR.. Merriam who by
his own word believes only in a
system of public relief as opposed
to a sound arbitrary social insur-
ance system could possibly make
workable recommendations for the
of a social insur-
ance program.
