Moscow—An appeal to the Jews in
America who hail from Slutsk, Russia,
to disregard the reports of religious
persecution that emanate from the
U. S. S. R. is contained in a manifesto
adopted by the Jewish community of
Slutsk and published in the Ernes,
Moscow Jewish organ. The manifesto
points to the improved position of the
Jews in the country under the Soviet re
gime, ridicules stories of religious and
racial discrimination, and, as a climax,
invited a delegation of Slutsk American
Jews to come to Russia next month to see
for themselves what the conditions are.
Jerusalem—A huge crowd attended
the funeral exercises at Tel Aviv prior
to the burial in Jerusalem of the remains
of Prof. Boris Schatz, who died last
March in the United States. Eulogies
were delivered by Mayor Diezengoff of
Tel Aviv and Dr. Joseph Klausner, the
historian. Members of the Executive of
the Jewish Agency accompanied the
cortege from Tel Aviv to Schatz’s last
resting place in Jerusalem.
New York, N. Y.—Mrs. Mortimer L.
Schiff, whose husband died a little more
than a year ago, passed away at her
Oyster Bay, L. I., home, failing to re
cover from a cancer operation which she
underwent several months ago. Taking
an active part in various charitable and
educational activities, Mrs. Schiff was
one of the outstanding figures in New
York welfare work. She took a partic
ular interest in children and, like her
husband, gave much of her time and
money to the development of the Boy
Scouts organization.

Danzig—The Free City of Danzig has
no use for anti-Semitic agitators, In
terior Secretary Dr. Hinz made it clear
in issuing an order expelling from the
city four German Hitler agitators who
had been advocating acts of terrorism
against the Jews of Danzig and Poland.
Dr. Ilinz’s decision to deport the Nazis
was based on the view that they were
enemies of the public peace.
New York, N. Y.—Jesse L. Lasky, who
as vice-president of the Paramount Pub-
lix Corporation, made that unit one of
the most powerful in the motion picture
industry, has joined the Fox Film Corpo
ration as a producer, it has been an
nounced. It is believed that Lasky’s
recent resignation was in reality an ac
knowledgment that he had been forced
out.
LOUIS HENRY PERLMAN, inventor
of the demountable rim for automobile
wheels and one of the leading inventors in
the automobile industry, died after a
three-year illness at the age of 70. Born
in Kovno, Russia, Mr. Perlman was
brought to this country when he was
three years old. In the ’80’s he launched
a pictorial syndicate which is said to
have supplied the first photograph ever
printed in Charles Dana’s Sun. In the
early part of the century he took part
in stock car races. He then began ex
perimenting with automotive equipment.
The idea of an inflated tire mounted on
its rim cost Mr. Perlman ten years of
litigation, but his patent was held to be
the original one.
LIEUT.-COL. THEODOR DUESTER-
BERG, one of the leaders in the Stahl-
helm, nationalist military group in Ger
many, has officially admitted that he is of
Jewish origin and that he offered his res
ignation to the Stahlhelm praesidium, ac
cording to the Associated Press, which in
terviewed him on the subject. Duester-
berg, who was the Nationalist candidate
for the Presidency during the last elec
tions, is reported to have said: “As far
back as last April some enemy intent on
harming me in iny official position traced
my ancestry and found that my great
grandfather, Selig Abraham Deusterberg,
was a Jew. They also found that my
grandfather, Selig Abraham Duesterberg,
Jewish and baptized a Christian in 1818,
and that he married a Christian woman.
I was wholly unaware of these facts, but
during May I had searches made and
found that such were the facts. My pa
rents never told me. I never knew my
grand-parents.
“I wrote to all the members of the
praesidium of the Stahlhelm offering my
resignation. The offer was unanimously
declined without a vote and I was asked
to retain my post, assured of the fullest
confidence.”
Berlin.—Among the miscellaneous bills
introduced into the current brief session
of the Prussian Landtag is one to tax
Jewish banks and department stores so
heavily that they will be forced out of
existence. It is regarded as certain that
no action will be taken on the measure.
Berlin.—Because Alfred Hugenberg,
Nationalist leader and industrialist, has
thrown his support to the Von Papen
Government, he has become the target of
consistent attacks by the Nazis, who
charge that he had “sold out” to the
Jews. Dcr Anyriff, Nazi organ, asserts
that the official Nationalist organ is
edited by a Jew and that some of the
most important Nationalist leaders have
married into Jewish families or are of
Jewish ancestry. It is a favorite Nazi
pastime to try to ruin an opponent by
charging intimacy with Jews.
SIR OSWALD MOSLEY, former Labor-
ite, and now head of the British Fascist
Party, who has repeatedly asserted that
he has no sympathy with the anti-Semi
tic policies of Adolf Hitler, reversed him
self, however, in a demonstration held in
London’s Strand, where a group of
black-shirted English Fascisti heard their
chieftain explain his creed. Sir Oswald
admitted that he favored aggressive
tactics against Jews, but said that he was
against only such Jews who were or
aided Communists or who pursued poli
cies which might be considered anti-
British.
DR. CHAIM WEIZMANN, former
President of the World Zionist Organiza
tion, is engaging in a “conspiracy” to oust
their party from the Organization, ac
cording to a statement issued by the
Zionist-Revisionists. Weizmann’s action
is motivated by his desire to regain the
World Zionist Presidency, which would
be impossible if the Revisionists re
mained within the movement, they de
clare.
ARTHUR FRIEDHEIM, pupil of Liszt
and Rubinstein and a noted pianoforte vir
tuoso and composer, died here at the age
of 73. Born in St. Petersburg, Friedheim
began his musical career early, making
his debut at the Imperial Theatre when
he was but nine years old. Friend of
Liszt and Rubinstein, who taught him,
and to the former of whom he became
secretary, Friedheim toured most of
Europe and America. He made his de
but in New York in 1891 with the Metro
politan Opera Company. He taught at
the Chicago Musical College from 1898
to 1900 and at the Manchester Royal Col
lege of Music, the University of the West
in Los Angeles and at the Canadian
Academy of Music, Toronto, in subse
quent years. President Taft decorated
him in Washington. There were periods
when poverty almost overwhelmed him,
but he never permitted pride to stand
in his way. There was a time when he
offered to shovel snow, but was saved
from such a fate by a $50 a week job in
a New \ ork movie house. After several
years as a pianist in movie houses, he re
turned to the concert platform, his last
appearance having been at the Hollywood
Bowl in 1928. He was the author of
two operas, “The Last Days of Pompeii,”
and “Die Taenzerin” and numerous
other compositions, as well as articles
in English, German and French on music.
Paris—The Anti-Semitic jour
“Moghreb,” appearing in Paris, ha^
banned from circulation in Fn t ,
Morocco by order of the Military < ,
ernor of the French zone. His a
follows the disturbed race relation
tween Jews and Arabs in Tunis.
Budapest—Premier Julius Goen e *
created a sensation in Hungary w, n
in his first speech before Parliament •>
promised a regime of liberal refonr
whose benefits would include Jews.
Goemboes, long regarded as a reaction
ary and as anti-Semite, completely re
versed his position when, in the course
of his address, he lauded the patriotism
of Hungarian Jews, spoke of their record
during the war, and declared that “I have
reversed my previous views on the Jews.
All Jews who love this country as 1 do
are my brothers, exactly like any other
Hungarians.” His program of reforms
includes extension of the rights of Jews,
tolerance in minority questions and ex
termination of the abuses of officialdom.
He informed Parliament that he is op
posed to dictatorship and in favor of free
competition and a free press.
Berlin—In order to avoid having the
next Reichstag opened by Clara Zetkin,
aged Communist, the Hitlerites nomi
nated 80-year old General Liezmann for
a place in the Parliament so that he
would, by right of seniority, preside over
the first session. Two days after they
placed the General in nomination, the
Nazis were stunned to learn on the most
unimpeachable evidence that Liezmann
is of Jewish ancestry. If he is elected,
as there is every likelihood he will be,
the Reichstag will be opened by a Jew.
The ranks of both the Hitlerites and
the Nationalists were thrown into con
fusion as a result of a political sympo
sium held in Berlin, at which speakers
inferred that Joseph Goebbels, chief aide
of Hitler, and Alfred Hugenberg, in
dustrialist leader of the Nationalists, are
not of Aryan stock as they claim but are
of Jewish origin. Both of the anti-
Semitic spokesmen were in the sympo
sium and, when challenged to prove their
“pure” racial origins, found themselves
at a loss for convincing proof. It is be
lieved that the inferences directed against
Goebbels and Hugenberg are the first
steps in a campaign to discredit them,
and that proof of their “Jewishness b
now being uncovered.
Ann Arbor, Mich.—The university
which gave Benny Friedman to the foot
ball world has provided another sensa
tion of the gridiron in the person or
Harry Newman, star quarterback of
Michigan University, who has been an
important factor in every game so far
in winning victory for his team, whic

ference title this year. In the game

Newman passed and place-kicked ult
extraordinary skill and finished the a >
with a 76-yard run.

won the American Constitution 1
contest earlier in the year, took
place in the international oratorical
test held here.
