cr»’ Union, which enforce* the A. F. L.
boycott on Crerman-made good* to the ex

ber found hanging German wallpaper.
. . . Bruno Lessing's solution of the in
ternational situation includes the sending
of Hitler to Palestine, while Samuel Un-
termyer is to I* transferred to Berlin.
. . . When German Ambassador Luther
found that illness made it inadvisable for
him to make an address at Columbia
University recently the Columbia So
cial Problems Club heaved a sigh of
relief and called off the pickets scheduled
to protest against the Hitler regime dur
ing the address. . . . Arthur Garfield
Hays, Jewish general counsel of the
American Civil Liberties Union, sticks to
his principles by upholding the rights of
Nazis to rally in New York and endors
ing a protest against the manner in which
the Reichstag fire trial is Being conducted
at Berlin. . . . But in Sweden the sign
of the swastika is so unpopular that a
laurel emblem in that shape which
Goering had placed on the grave of his
wife was replaced by a note warning
against Nazi propaganda. . . .
Among the German Jewish exiles here
is George Salter, former teacher in a
Berlin art school. . . . His exhibit of
Iniok jackets is being hailed by connois
seur*. . . . On a lecture tour in this
country, is Prof. Alfon* Goldschmidt
world-famous economic authority. . . .
I)r. Goldschmidt, who used to be the
dean of the economic department of the
University of I^eipzig and at one time was
the editor-in-chief of the Berliner Tage-
blatt, is speaking in the interests of the
Anti-Fascist League. . . . S. Fischer,
publisher of Die Neue Rundschau, the
periodical which sponsored all the author*
who were burned in that famous literary
fire, seems to have come to some agree
ment with the Hitlerites, and still is in
charge of the magazine. . . The Wiener
Allgemeine Zeitung claims that Hitler's
sidekick, Goering, is the adopted son of
a Jew by the name of Epstein, owner of
Maustertorf Castle near Salszburg, Aus
tria. . . . Epstein says that Goering
visited him as late as 1932. . . .
Look out for Shura Cherkassy, young
pianist, just out of his teens, now radio
playing and touring in this country after
some successful seasons in several other
continents. . . . He's an American by
birth. . . . Roxy, the orchestra leader,
pronounces his real name, Rothafel, to
rhyme with Rockefeller minus the last
syllable. . . . We hear a lot these day*
of concerts and funds and what not for
the benefit of the family of Yossele Rosen
blatt, the great cantor who died some
months ago. . . . Well, we know only
that his widow is struggling to support
herself. . . . And it seems to us that
some of these ••benefits” are not above
suspicion. . . . Racketeers and fakers,
beware! . . .The premiere of the mu
sical setting which Ernest Bloch, com
missioned by Gerald Warburg, composed
for the Reform Jewish Service will take
place in Italy in January. . . . When
Jascha Heifetz goes to Russia this win
ter the Soviets will have in their country
two outstanding musicians bearing the
same name. . . . T*he other one is nine-
year-old Margaret Heifetz, who can con
duct Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony with
the l>est of ’em. . . . Margaret is al
lowed to appear in public only twice a
year, and her musical training is paid for
by the Soviet Government. . . . But
eight-year old Ruth Slenc/yn*ki, the in
fant prodigy who so astounded New York
critics by her performances on the piano,
is now embarking on a regular coast-to-
coast concern tour in order to get enough
money to continue her musical education.
. . . Ruth was horn in Sacramento, but
has lived in Paris for the past few years.
(Her father is a Polish Jew). . . . She
doesn’t like dolls, love* Bach and detests
Hitler. . . .
On December 12th, at the Waldorf-
Astoria Hotel in New York City, there
will be a violin recital for which the
performing artist will rrceive a sum
greater than has ever been paid to any
virtuoso. . . . The admission price will
be $200 per ticket, and the event will
receive no publicity either before or after
its occurrence. . . . T*he artist will be
Albert Einstein, who will accept the huge
sum we have indicated in order to help
those of his Jewish friends in Germany
who need relief. . . . One of the broad
casting companies hopes to let u* all hear
Einstein's violin in a string quartet that
will give concerts for German-Jewish
relief. . . . Einstein plays second fiddle
to To«cha Seidel in this quartet. . . .
Joe Jacobs, fight manager, reports that
he had a very good time in Berlin, saw
lots of other Jews doing the same and
found stores owned and operated by Jews
doing good business. . . . What’s more,
he like* the Nazi salute. . . . We refrain
from commenting on this, but let you
draw your own conclusion*. . . . 'I*hey
tell u* that Helen Jacobs, the California
Jewish tennis star, was born in the same
home of the Dr. Will*, who fathered
Helen Will* Moody. . . . John D. Hertz,
of taxicab and Paramount Publix fame,
managed prize fighters in his early youth,
before he found out about his financial
gehius. . . . Max Baer is worried about
the plans being made for him to fight
Schmeling and Camera in the next few
