MY FATHERS HOUSE

MY FATHERS HOUSE
Author: Meyer Levin
Publisher: Viking Press, IS {.
48th ST., New York IL, N. Y.
Price: $3.50
Reviewer: William Henry Huff. i.
When the Germans marched in
with their machine guns and
herded all the people in Crocow
into the large square, David was
told by his father to run away to
forest, and after the wars end,
theyy would meet again in Pale
slime.
Years full of loneliness pass,
but David still holds on precar-
iously to existence, and finally
gains entry to Palestine along
with other "illegals," and begins
to search for his family.
David's story is tender, warm,
deeply moving inspiring rather
than depressing. ut is alive with
the courage and warmth of the
men an dwomen of Palestine, the
homecomers who, with all the
odds against them and after
years of the deepest suffering
the world has ever witnessed,
succeed in putting on with their
new Hebrew names the garments
of new life.
'Dhe author, .along with this
warm and tender story, has CIV
en- us an authentic picture, more
vivid than any newspaper ac-
count of today's Palestine-the
Jews and the Arabs the great ci-
ties and the settlements, the Pro-
misd Land whr even in the harsh
climate of the moment hope still
| survives"
Meyer Levin, whose most re-
cent and successful novels were
THE OLD BUNCH and lCITI-
ZENS, was assigned, as a war
| correspondent for overseas News
Agency, to find out what had be-
come of the Jews of Europe. The
theme Of MY FATHERS HOUSE
the search of a survivor for
some contact with his family
was inspired by thousands OF
/ stories which he, heard in the
concentration camps as they were
. liberated. Later, in Palestine, he
covered for the news agency the
arrival of an illegal ship in Haifa
! and saw boy very like David
waving from the prov. Many of
the incidents in the book are
| based on actual circumstances.
'fMr. Levin has been five times
to Palestine, where he. spent the
last var writing MY FATHER IS
HOUSE."

Behind The Eight Ball

A basic tenet of law is that man is innocent
until proven guilty. Unfortunately, public opinion
often condemns without justification and the ac-
cused party must prove himself inocent. Such
has been the position of the steel industry Steel
prices lag far behind most commodities, but
steel has had an uphill job explaining it's pro-
blem to the public. Newsweek, describing the
situation, says:
iodays big earnings of U. S. Steel are pos
slble only because its old plants have been writ
ten off to nominal value Of 500 ton annual
capacltl. To replace that capacity today would
cost $500 ton.
'The rest Of inc industry is in similar straits.
On Jones L. Laughlin Steel Corporation books
the investment in steel-producng facilities is
valued at 1894 and employee But Admiral Ben
Moreel, J. & l.. president, believes that to re-
place them at today's prices would cost between
100000 and $40 900 worker
'The steel companies are behind a bigger
eight ball than even many steel excutivs have
fully appreciated. AS long present steel mills.
or, coal, and limestone properties hold out thew
will continue to report comfortable profits But
when these nave to be replaced, steel prices must
jump considerably or the Industry will find itself
deep in the red"

with a salty directness OF one

Chi clubs
pant for
pro crown

The Chicago Cardinals and
Bears are still keeping pace
with each other as they fight it
out for the Western division
championship of the National
Pro League.
The Cardinal squeezed past
the Los Angeles Rams Fl to "a
before 29,031 at Comiskey Park
last Sunday afternoon while the
Bears were having little trouble
routing a mediocre session Yank
team 81 to II before 18,O48 in
BOstOn's Fenway Park.
The Cardinals nor their fans
had an easy moment until the
last minute of play when Nal
Kutner broke up a Los Angeles
scoring drive by intercepting
one of Jim Hardy's aerials on
the Cards 20 yard line.
The Cards showed their usual
ly potent and fast offense fea-
turing Trippi, Harder and Angs-
man mixed up with passes by
Mallouf and Christman. But
their pass defense was another
story.
Ram receivers continually got
behind the Cardinal defenders
and except for some peculiar
quarterbacking by Bob Water
field the results could have been
costly.
The Cards pass defense was
improved when Trippi stayed in
on defense but he can't be ex-
pected to play on defense and
still show the brilliance on Of
Tense which is so necessary to
the Redbird offensive. Unless
something is done to remedy
this weakness before Dec. IL
when the Bears and Cardinals
meet, it is going to be an un-
happy day on the south side.
While the Bears and Cardi-
mails were keeping pace with
each other, the Philadelphia
Eagles, led by Tommy Thomp-
son, practically clinched the
Eastern division title by swamp
ing the Washington Redskins

of the contract must be sub
mitted to the strikers for ratifi-
fication. Agreement on this key
issue leaves still unsettled the
question of wages, vacations
and grievance procedure.
The union and employers had
already worked out nine-hour
maximum work shift, to replace
the old 10-hour limit, with four
hours minimum pay for all men
reporting for work. A wage in
crease of 10 cents not retroac-
tive has been made, but the
ILWU is demanding Is cents
retroactive to June Is, or is
cents not retroactive. Feeling
among west coast m ri t m e
unions, now in their third
month of the strike is, "This
strike has definitely been won.
However, it is not -er yet, so
keep your picket ranks tight"
This attitude prevailed w h e n
the Marine Cooks and Stewards
met with the Pacific American
S h ipow ners Assn. Sunday
mornin.g.
Meanwhile, in New York, the
AL International LOngshOre-
mems Assn, has flatly rejected
compromise plan offered by
ship owners. The owners asked
for "truce" in the three-week
Old strike of some $4,000 dock
workers, but after a three-hour
meeting Union President Joseph
p. Ryan announced that the
proposal "has given us no con-
cessions."
Many of the striking long
shoremen have bitterly criti-
cized Ryan, lifetime presiden,
of their union. The prese n
strike was touched off when
rank and file lockers repudi-
ated a Ryan agreement with the
shipowners. After the wor
stoppage spread to other east
coast ports, Ryan made the
strike official.

SPORTS

Lac ing and passing N. u. might
today be boasting an undefeated
season. The Evanstonians are
plenty rugged ,as California will
find out New Years Day.
Some of the Pacific coast fans
and writers are screaming they
are being robbed because the
Big Nine is sending outfits sec
ond best instead of Michigan.
Boys, take little Vaughn ad-
vice and leave well enough
alone. You've got too much on
your hands now. It's time you
faced it. The days of the great
Stanford and U. S. c. teams are
gone. Your colleges are empha-
sizing education instead of ath-
letics; Drawn is being sacrificed
for brains.
In other words, boys, you are
now amateurs. We are still pro-
fessionals out he, in the Mid
die West. AS long as that condi-
ton exists you are going to have
your brains kicked out each Jan.
1st no matter who we send.
Now don't get us wrong, we
still make our college football
stars stay eligible, we are just a
little more lenient about what
constitutes eligibility.
1t is rumored around these
parts that the National Pro
League is considering taking in
two new teams but they figure
they might be too tough for the
rest of the league. The teams
you guessed it-are Notre Dame
and Michigan.
On a good day N. U. might
have beat them both. Enough

THE football question of the
day-who has the best team,
Michigan or Notre Dame? The
only way to really decide the
issue is on the playing field.
But since it doesn't look like
that's goingto happen un ii
Frank Leahy's grandchild is the
Irish coach, if then, we have to
do the next best thing, look at
past performance and figure
from there.
The Irish seem to have an
edge on defense but the differ
ence is too slight to be impor-
tant. Both have equally strong
receiving attacks.
The onl..- trouble is that strong
defenses and potent running at
tacks are all right against in
ferior teams. But when you
meet your equal, there is one
factor that will decide the WIN
ner. That factor is passing at
tack. The Wolverines have it all
over the Irish in that depart
ment. So we have to 60 along
with the Wolves as the best
team in the nation this year.

Out on street
claim no notice

Two South Side families,
evicted from their homes,
swore in Municipal Court
Wednesday that ''the first
time we knew of a suit was
VIII n we were out on the
ground"
Both families testified tn t
someone was at home all during
the days that eviction notices
were allegedly served by the
city bailiff's office and, they
said, no bailiff appeared, nor
was notice received. Strangely
enough owever, notices of
eviction were on file with the
city, signed as h wing been
served by the bailiff.
When Attorney Irving G..
Steinberg attempted to intro
duce in court testimO--- that a
third tenant of the same land
lord was about to be evicted,
and that he, too, claims he re-
ceived no notice of eviction, the
testimony was barred as i'm
material by Judge Eugene J.
Holland, who upheld the evic-
tiOns.
Neither Judge Holland nor at
torneys for the landlord indi-
Gated interest in questioning the
bailiff's office to explain the
tenants denial that service had
been made.
Meanwhile a spokesman for
the Federal Housing Expeditor
made known that the case is
under investigation with the
possibility of a suit to restore
the tenants to their apartments,
which are already re-rented on
a weekly basis.
Meanwhile Isaac Riley, his
wife, and four children are liv-
ing il homes of various friends.
Their furniture and belongings
are in a neighbours backyard.
Mrs. Ruth Adams and her two
children similarly are split up
among friends and their furni-
ture is in storage.
Mrs. Riley testified in court
that she and her husband had
received notice of non-payment
Of rent. Whereas she had been
paying SIS per month to Ira
O'Neil, landlord, she said she
had been informed by Federal
rent officials that S21 was the
ceiling on her flat. The day
after the receipt of the notice,
she testified, she brought rent
to O'Neil at the rate of S21 for
the period due.
"O'Neil said he didn't want
S21, he wanted $25," she told
Judge Holland. eff I had $25,
he would have taken it."
Then, she declared, she heard
no more about the matter until
the bailiff appeared to put her
furniture in the street Address
