Commentary" that Drew Pear
son was wrong recently when
he said that no Jews have serv-
ed in the us. Senate.
Slomovitz dug through old
records and found that six Jews
were elected to the Senate.
The first Jewish Senator was
David Levy Yulee who repre-
sented the State of Florida from
1845 to 1851, also from 1855 to
1861. Previously, Yulee was a
member of the House of Rep
resentatives from Florida when
it was still territory = from
1841 to 1845.
Other Jews who served in the
Senate were Judah P. Benjamin,
who later became member OF
the Confederate cabinet of Lou
isiana, 1879-1885; Joseph Simon,
Oregon, 1897-19O3; Isador Rayner,
Maryland, 19O5-1912. Rayner also

Roosevelt and Smathers are
rallying support for a bipartisan
bill introduced in Congress on
July 26. The bill would grant
amnesty to those who fought in
the Near East or who shipped
arms to the countries affected by
the United Nations arms embar-
20. Loss of citizenship may be
the penalty for allegiance to a
foreign military command while
the shipment of arms is GRIM
inal offense.
The bill provides that those
who served with the Israeli or
Arab armies could regain their
citizenship by taking a natural
iZation oath. Those who shipped
arms would be relieved from
prosecution. Penalties would be
waived for the time between
September Is, l947 and January
81, 1949.
The proposed immunity period
would not only save the eight
California Jews from prosecution
but would also cover the cases
of Irwin SCHNEIDER, New York,
and Charles Winters, a former
Army pilot, of Miami. Winters
faces the sentence of a $4,000
fine and long prison term. He
has noted an appeal. A plea of
guilty was entered by SCHNEIDER
