Reds in Mukden

Rallies People
Several Explosions
Within Two Blocks
Of u. S. ConsuIotes
BY the Associated Press

NANKING, Nov. 1.-Mukden
was bombed today by Chinese
government planes shortly after
the Communists completed occu-
patton of the city.
There were many bomb explosions,
including several within two blocks
of the United States Consulate.
Casualties and damage were not
known.
The bombing gave immediate
point to the words of President
Chang Kai-shek, who told his Kuo-
mintang governing party Central
Committee that China must accept
the lessons of defeat by the Com
munists and fight on o.
There was no hint of surrender
from the weary Chinese leader,
whose government has been shaken
to its foundation by the wholesale
defeats of his troops in the last
three weeks.
In his first official appearance
since his return from. two weeks IN
the north where the cream of his
armies were destroyed or went over
to the Reds, Gen. Chang declared:
I'VE have had reverses in the
northeast (Manchuria) but the
Communists are not yet in a posi-
ton to directly menace North
China"
Americans Prepare to Leave.
Meanwhile. United States officials
instructed American citizens to pre-
pare to leave North China ~
Authoritative sources here said
the Communists had occupied Muk-
den completely at 3 pm. q am.
EST and that the last government
officials fed from there three days
ago. The government has had no
radio contact with Mukden since 6
pm. yesterday Is am. EST but
the American consulate radio there
lis still functioning and sin COM
munication with American author
tiles here and in Shanghai.
The Chinese navy, backed by the
six-inch guns of its former British
cruiser, Chungking, is guarding the
ports of Yingkiw and Hulutao as
possible escape avenues for what
ever national troops managed to
get out of Mukden.
Commander Praised.
Gen. Chang praised both the
bravery and skill of his North China
commander. Gen. Flu Tso-yi, at
Peiping. He said Gen. Flu has
made ample preparations and been
sufficiently reinforced" to handle
Red threats to that area.
/ The President insisted the "over-
all war situation does not give cause
for worry"
His speech obviously was designed
to encourage Kuomintang leaders
who we're stunned by the news Of
the wholesale defeats.
Neutral observers recalled that
Gen. Flu was in precarious position
in North China since the Commun-
lists had cut the corridor to Suiyuan
and interrupted the normal supply
route through which came the bulk
Of the food for his troops. They
estimated that only the prompt
transfer of the u government di-
visions now sitting" on the Hulutao
beach to Gen. Fu's command plus
rapid flow of war supplies would
permit the northern general to hold
his own with the Reds even tenn
porarily.
Reported Ready to Quit.
An official source in Nanking said
both Premier Wong Wen-hao and
the Minister of Finance, Wang Yum

Travels Far
Here was a totally new world.
He became identified with num-
erous mining developments and
surveys, and travelled as far afield
as Australia and South Africa.
But Arizona proved to be the
real magnet. Few trails in this
state are unknown to Berman, and
he has followed many arduous
miles of them on foot.
In 1922, then past so, he de-
cided to "settle down" and start
ed fur business on Adams Street
near Central Avenue. Jewish resi-
dents in Phoenix then totaled 70 to
80 families. The temple had been
built the previous year. Only for
the high holidays was a rabbi
available, coming from Ell Paso
or San Francisco.
Helps the Sick
With no rabbi or organized
Jewish charities to appeal to, needy
health seekers coming to Phoenix
had to go to the doors of Jewish
residents, begging place to stay,
or the price of a tire, or food for
their children.
Max Berman, as trasurer of
B'nai Birth, undertook to find
rooms and collect charity for the
sick. The community raised ST.
200 and purchased home which
he selected for this purpose.
Last year Berman sold his fur
business to devote more time to
his real Understanding.
He is gifted with fine sense

Book ReUieUs
Israel Music
BY Mae B. KessIer

Scheduled for publication early
in 1949 is "The Music of Israeli"
truly labor of love, and a work
of Herculean proportions. The au-
thor is DR.. Peter Gradenwitz,
Palestinian composer and music
ologist, who attempts survey of
Jewish music and performance
from the biblical era to present
day Israel.
No less than 15 years of re-
search went into the writing of
it. And the field has not been
completely covered yet.
This book commingles the cul-
tural history of ancient and mod
ern society, both East and West.
More than the detailing of spirit
ual and physical life, one meets
here the interrelated problem of
heredity and environment and its
necessary effect upon art, learns
something of the intricacies of
Oriental and Occidental thought,
sees a manifestation of the cul-
tural developments which age go
ing forward so vigorously in Pal
estine today, and senses what
further developments are yet to
come.
"The Music of Israel" favors the
development of a racial and ma
tional art, which will doubtless
bring to the forefront two oppos-
ing schools of thought: the one
wagging a prudish finger at the
narrow nationalistic outlook and
the other exclaiming with joy at
the boundless opportunity afford
ed the artist to release his ances-
tral creative forces.
Strongly showing the effect of
environment upon art, DIR. Ora
denwitz tell how the Jewish re-
ligious and ritual music grew out
of their long attending oppres-
sion and danger.

Unfailingly captivated by the
lure of hidden riches beneath the
earth's crust, Berman can be
found almost anytime driving over
tortuous roads to explore the min
eral prospects of land he may
have recently acquired.
Born in Russia and spending
his youth in England, he migrated
to Ottawa, Canada, 60 years ago.
At first his life was the back

Government, but also by the major
party which has put the Govern
ment in power. The present am
biguous position, where Govern
ment declarations are inconsistent
with Provincial practice, is far
from satisfactory. If the Govern
ment and the Nationalists Party
are genuinely anxious to convince
South African Jews and the coun-
try as a whole that they have
turned their backs on anti-Jewish
discrimination, they must find a
way out from the present equi-
vocal situation and demonstrate
beyond any doubt where the Party
really stands"
Ban Denounced
The "South African Times"
goes even further and states: "The
Transvaal CONGRESSES silence on
this issue is rendered the more
eloquent in the context of the
times. Though Jewish and indeed
all democratic elements were al
ways perturbed at this discrimina-
tory clause, the extremism of the
war years set it in a perspective
less monstrous-though no less OBJ
jectionable in principle-than the
perspective of today, when Nazism
and anti-Semitism have long been
exposed in all their barbarity-
and when the Nationalist Party it.
self, in the election campaign and
after, took steps publicly to dis
associate itself from the charge Of
pro-Nazism. Nowhere else in the
world today is there a governing
party which has retained in the
constitution of even one of its re-
gional branches, a clause banning
Jewish members. :.

In the past, it has often been
characterized by more extreme
line than other provincial divisions
of the Party, and the country was
concerned to see whether, now
that the Nationalists shoulder the
responsibilities of government, the
moderate section could prevail up
on the Transvaal extremists to
modify their outlook. The country
was also concerned to see what at
titude the Congress would take up
on the so-called Jewish question"
The Transvaal section of the
Party, alone of the Nationalists'
provincial divisions, has in its con-
stitution a clause banning Jews
from membership. That clause was
framed in the Hitler years, when
leading elements of the National
list Party were deeply influenced
by Nazi propaganda. When, how
ever, the Nationalists were re-
turned to power last May, it was
generally thought that the Trans
vaal branch would take steps to
withdraw the clause.
No Prejudice Pledged
This opinion was strengthened
by the fact that the new Prime
Minister, DR.. Malan, gave the
country the assurance that his
government would follow a policy
of non-discrimination against any
section of the European (white)
population, and reiterated that as
surance when he received a depu-
tation from the S.A. Jewish Board
of Deputies.
In the Cape, where no equival-
ent ban exists, certain Jews were
welcomed into membership of the
Nationalist Party and have start
ed a propaganda campaign to win
it Jewish support. The Transvaal
Nationalists therefore had every
thing to gain by withdrawing the
ban against Jews, and it was wide
ly rumored that they would do so.
In the result, however, the Con-
gress did not even discuss this
clause. Apparently those who were
opposed to removal of the ban
prevailed upon the Party's Execu-
tive to keep the subject off the
agenda rather than risk an open
controversy at the Congress. The
position therefore is that (for the
present at least) the ban remains,
though there are reports that an
official statement may be made
on the subject shortly.
