Two of these three distinguished scientific stars arc Jews, but their rela tions to the Jews are significantly dif ferent. While Doctor Einstein is known to the world both as a Jew and as a scientist, Doctor Michelson is known only as a scientist. Einstein has gotten into the headlines almost as much because of his Judaism, a virile and nationalist Jewish ness, as because of his contributions to man’s knowledge of the universe. Doctor Michelson has never, so far as is known, been in any way interested in things Jewish. Professor Einstein is a German Jew who is probably the best-known Jew in the world. Professor Michelson comes of Polish-Jewish ancestry and is per haps hardly known as a Jew at all. Doctor Einstein is proud of his Jewishness and takes every opportunity to make it known as witness his outspoken adherence to Zionism, his protests against Hitlerism, and his genuine interest in all Jewish problems. Doctor Michelson, on the other hand, has been conspicuously indifferent to Jewish affairs. He has never ex pressed himself on any Jewish problems and has never participated in any Jewish undertaking. When these two Jewish scientists meet to chart or rechart the universe, what will Einstein, the conscious Jew, say to Michelson, the indifferent Jew? Scien tists would give much to hear the con versation of these two men, but Jews would perhaps give even more. Who Drew That? Somebody’s scrawled a line up there just where we were going to write an ad about A U P. Come on now, who did it? Oh . . . that’s different. You say the line shows how fast the retail price of food had been going down? So it does. And it’s taken quite a slide, hasn’t it? Down to about 1 5% lower than it was in September, 1929, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Better not erase it then; because A UP had more to do with the drawing of that line than anybody else in the United States. For, as growers and producers have reduced their prices, A UP has reduced the price of food in its stores. WeMl just write the ad way down here in a little bit of space. A & P is the strongest influence in the country for keeping the price of food to the consumer low. THE GREAT ATLANTIC & PACIFIC TEA CO.
