Appeal to Reason

Perhaps you have already noticed that this is oil
ferent kind of United Jewish Welfare Fund campaign
we're having this year. Very little drumbeatlng very
little tear-ierkng No meetings with Big Names from
HOLLYWOOD or New York trying to pluck melodramatlcay
at our hearts and pocketbooks
Instead the approach this year is quiet, unemouona
matterof-fact In place of the mass meetings ana tne
drums we have been witnessing succession OF mcon-
spcuous little paror meetings There we have gathered
70 explore the problem-and in the explore our
own hearts-and decide then and there how much we
would give Someone has kened these meetings TO the
intimate soul-searchng of the Catholic confessional
This approach not accidental The credit for 1t goes
principally to Newton Rosenzweg, chairman OF the 1921
campaign committee and Hirsh Kaplan, executive drec-
tor of the Jewish Community Council They sensed-ano
accurately we beievehat this not year for drums
and tears The need is too well known to require gh-
flown hsroncs the re-teing of it. This rather was
for quiet reasoning and the confronting OF our own
cOnScienceS.
The strategyf such it could be called-has paid OIL
Our drive is ahead last year. and though we may not
reach our goal have every chance of SURPRISING our
performance of year ago. This speaks well Tor those
who planned the campaign and for the community as
whole Perhaps it signifies that of the Phoenix Jewsh
community are growing up For one sign OF adulthood is
the extent to which the mind and the heart respond when
confronted with appeal to reason

|Nazis Weren't
So Bad After
All, 1t Seems

WASHINGTON - The nations
motion picture industry is being
geared to state department efforts
to revive German military power,
as indicated by the production of
The Desert Fox" a film which
will do much to glorify Nazi Field
Marshal Erwin Rommel.
Another indication is the can
collation. of the filming of "The
WALL" a story of the anti-Nazi
battle waged by the heroic Jews
of the Warsaw Ghetto.
The Selznick film interests,
purchasers of the film rights of
John Hersey's saga of Polish Jew
ry, decided against producing such
an anti-Nazi film. When our gov
ernment is moving heaven and
earth to re-arm Germany and Jail
doors are being thrown open for
SIS. officers and concentration
camp commanders, it is not con-
sidered desirable to remind the
world OF Nazi atrocities by a film
such as "The WALL"
On the other hand, our young
men will soon be marching side
by side with unrepentant Nazis
and a film like "The Desert Fox"
will serve the purpose of showing
that German generals are really
not such bad guys.
OBJECTIONS TO this trend
are met with the explanation that
German cooperation is needed to
save Western Europe from Com
munism. Therefore, if you oppose
the revival of a German military
m h inc, official Washington
might check your loyalty file to
see if you ever had lunch with a
Communist.
Everyone seems to have forgot
ten that it was Rommel who ad-
mired Hitler, trained the Hitler
youth, and was hand-picked by
Hitler to command Der Fuhrer's
personal bodyguard.
