Toscanini's baton was on the
auction block last week for the
benefit of the Cleveland Jewish
Welfare Fund, which raises funds
for the United Jewish Appeal in
Ohio's largest city.
The baton used by the Maestro
at a concert the previous night
was given to the highest bidder
at the Welfare Funds closing
dinner. All bids received on the
baton were considered as pledges
to the Fund drive.
Toscanini'S b tons are made
especially for him by personal
friend, who is a practicing physi-
clan, and does woodworking as a
hobby. They are relatively light
in weight and more slender in
design than the usual baton.
At the Cleveland dinner, Tos-
canini's baton led a new kind of
symphony-members of the Jew
ish community acting in concert
in behalf of their less fortunate
fellow-Jews.

Jacksonville, Florida
Dear Mr.. Moscovitz:
This is the first opportunity
that I've had to write and person
ally express my. gratitude and
appreciation to you for the splen-
did interest you displayed in my
campaign.
The result of the election is a
real victory for the people ex-
pressed in our best democratic
form. We should be proud that
our victory was not obtained by
any one man, or any one group,
but by those individuals who
worked on the streets, rang door
bells, worked in campaign offices,
and at the polls. 1t is triumph
of democratic principles over
personalities.
May l again express my sincere
appreciation. humbly accept
your trust and confidence and
shall always strive to be worthy
of your confidence by continuing
to work and fight for the prin-
ciples as outlined during the
campaign.

Indignities Borne Patiently
This Is one Of the chief reasons

the United States. Britain and
other democratic governments and
their representatives. The United
States government has borne with
patience the indignities inflicted
on its representatives and the
more difdcult suffering of those

Bulgarian government would
eventually reach a reasonable
stand.
ut appears, however, that con-
