Why does a bit of green
Remind me of Heaven?
It may very well be that
In Heaven there is no need for
green
To charm mans eyes with life
giving growth
And make him believe again
In simple beauty.
A frond of green
Savoring the sun
And wants not for a better place
Needs no justification for living.
To grow towards Heaven.
So shall l take heed :.
And while a bit of green
Yet vibrates in the breeze
I'll feast my eyes on that bit of
green
And feel at ease.

Strange to say. the Jewish COM

such. Whether it was fear of anti

charges of segregation. the Jew

of the specifically Jewish needs
of Jewish troops were insignifi-

scattered efforts revealed the in
choate outlines of the worldwide
Jewish morale and religious pro-

Early in the Civil War the Jewish
press echoed with demands for
the establishment of a Jewish
Sanitary Commission" and the
opening Of a Jewish military hos

local Jewish organizations set up
organized home hospitality for
Jewish soldiers and even shipped
kosher food parcels TO southern
Jews held in Union prisons.

by DR.. Korn indicates: It was
close to Rosh Hashonah when
Henry Frank and Isaac Lowen-

John Mayors store in Vicksburg,
Miss, to inquire about services.

There the two soldiers in blue

lists of the Confederacy.
In the Spanish-American war
the Jewish community was still
loathe to participate as Jews in
organized morale work or to
sponsor such work for Jewish
soldiers. II was generous in sup
porting the war program but it
overlooked the strictly Jewish
needs of the 1000 men who
served in the war with Spain.

Appeal From New
Deportation Order
BY The Associated Press

LOS ANGELES. Aug. s.
Singer Dick Haynes. husband Of
Actress Rita Hayworth, again
has been ordered deported after
o rehearing of his case.
Ralph Farb, special inquiry Of
flcer for the immigration and
Naturalization Service. upheld
yesterday the deportation order
issued last March % after Mr..
Haynes first hearing.
The rehearing was ordered
after Mr.. Haynes appealed to
the Board of immigration APP
peals in Washington, contending
he had been the victim of en-
trapment when he went to Ha-
wall in June of last year to visit
Miss Hayworth.
Affidavit Offered.
Mr.. Haynes had supported
his appeal with an affidavit from
Richard r. Cody, former Irnmi-
grafton Service employee here.
Mr.. Cody's affidavit said immi-
grafton officials had instructed
him not to warn Mr.. Haynes he
would be ineligible to re-enter
the mainland, once he left, UNI
less he had special permit.
Mr.. Farb ruled there was no
evidence subStantiating Mr..
Cody's claim and cleared Her
man D. Landon. district immi-
grafton officer here, Of Mr..
Haynes entrapment charge. Mr..
Farb gave the singer 10 days to
appeal again to the Washington
board. and Mr.. Haynes counsel
said they would do so imme-
diately.
The Governments case against
Mr.. Haynes is based on the
singers registration as a neutral
alien during World War II, thus
avoiding military service as a
citizen Of Argentina. Counsel for
the Government contended that.
having claimed neutral status.
MIR. Haynes forfeited eligibility
for American citizenship.
Practice Of Warning Claimed.
Attorneys for Mr.. Haynes
maintained that it is Immigra-
ton Service practice to warn
aliens that they need a special
permit to re-enter this country.
should they leave it.
David Marcus, Mr.. Haynes
attorney here. said MIR. Farb's
order is directly contrary to Mr..
Cody'S affidavit.
"It is preposterous," Mr.. Mar
Gus said, ito place the United
States immigration Service in
the position of implying, through
its hearing officer. that Hawaii
is a foreign place. I don't be-
lieve that Congress, when it
passed the McCarrap Act, in
