"Do you think you convinced
them? ?" asked his wife.

"Well, if you convinced such a
majority, should think" she said,
"that you would be very happy
over it."
"But you see," said the rabbi,
'the 80 per cent are the poor"

Anything Musical
Mrs. Koussovitzky and Bernstein
have launched Operation Music to
provide Israel's refugee youngsters
with music. Operation Music seeks
anything and everything musical
old pianos, instruments, harmoni-
cas-, records and record players,
sheet music and so on. These will
be shipped to Israel and distributed
so that they will help bring about
the emotional rehabilitation of
children who suffered so terribly
through the Hitler years.
The idea was originally DR..
Koussevitzky's. 1t came to him
during a tour of Israel in 1850. A
month before his death he had ac-
cepted the craftsmanship of Oper-
alton Music. After he died, Mrs.
Koussevitzky took his place.
Contributions, either in the form
of music or money to provide musl-
cal scholarships for Israel children,

Board Counsel William A. Pals

Mr.. Janowitz was the only Com

said were aimed at destroying the
credibility Of Mr.. Janowitz as a

Mr.. Marcantonio asked whether
Mr.. Janowitz ever had been con-
victed Of a crime.

thought Mr.. Marcantonio should
stick to the meat Of the case. At

Reunion of Hitler's
SIS Troops Whites
Gen. Eisenhower

VERDEN, Germany, up - Am
orleans including Gen. Dwight D.
Eisenhower were villified at the
first big postwar reunion of Hit
ler's SIS troopers Sunday night.
They cheered wildly as a former
German general urged the war
veterans to refuse to take up arms
again as long as Allied prisons
still held "so-called German war
criminals"
Hermann Ramcke, the former
general, addressed 1000 one-time
members Of Hitler's "elite guard"
at rally whose announced pur-
pose was to clarity the fate Of
SIS men still listed as missing.
Ramcke, popular wartime
leader, said 'if our soldiers are
convicted as war criminals, then
it was also a war crime when the
Allies bombed unprotected Ger
man cities and when the Allies
now invent atom bombs"
bouts of approval almost
drowned him out. Some Of his
listeners yelled that Eisenhower is
pig-dog. The German word they
use is Schweinhund.
The former paratroop general
- himself released last year from
French war crimes prison
said 1880 German soldiers had
been involved in war crimes and
deNazification trials. He asserted
the prison sentences had totaled
4,166 years.
Another rally leader, former SIS
General Felix Steiner, called a
hurried news conference later and
stressed that Ramcke was a guest
speaker and did not speak for him
and the other SIS veterans.
