Girls In The News
BY DIANNA KLOTTS
A number of months ago, 19-
year-old Shirley Fuchs, grand
niece of Sigmund Freud, gradu
ated from Hunter College and has
been preparing to become a po
licewoman. Avid student of her
grand-uncle’s theories concerning
psychiatric treatment of sex and
social problems, Shirley averaged
an A in her social science and
psychology courses, but declared
that though her "uncle may have
specialized in theory—I want to
specialize in practice.’’
like to pitch horseshoes, and am a
pretty good rifle shot.’’
Well, no wonder she’s unmarried
—yet.
Another interesting young lady,
among the 315 women to have
passed the written test for police
women in New York City, is 25-
year-old Regina Epstein, who will
add beauty and personality to the
profession of patroling the Em
pire State if she’s one of the final
27 to be chosen.
Regina’s a boxer—a female box
er. Or at least that’s what appear
ed on h'er application. Regina
herself says: "I studied boxing in
a gym. I never was knocked out
myself, nor did I ever get a black
eye or a cauliflower ear. But now
don’t go calling me a female boxer.
I’m really a school teacher. I
also play baseball, golf, tennis and
ping-pong. I ski and bowl and
play handball and basketball. I’m
good at roller skating, ice skating,
archery and fencing,and I took a
few medals at a track meet. I
Bertha Slosberg, South African
Jewess, bom in Russia, at present
is in England. And just as com
plex as her nativity is her pro
fession, for although Bertha is
well-known as the first South Af
rican woman impressario, origi
nally she was a journalist, she
became deeply interested in the
theater.
Presenting native artists doing
their native songs and dances be
fore prejudiced white audiences,
Bertha Slosberg faced a gigantic
task. When the Johannesburg
press finally acclaimed her work,
Bertha Slosberg had broken the
barrier: The Bantu performers—
her group—became news abroad.
Now she is engaged in film work
in England, but journalism is still
the ultimate ambition of the lady
of many lands and many talents.

Mexico City, Mexico—Nothing
can be done for twenty-one Ger
man Jewish refugees now aboard
the liner Orinoco awaiting entry
to Mexico. Jewish leaders here
were informed by Secretary of the
Interior Ignacio Garcia Tellez. The
21 Jews, who arrived at Vera Cruz
Oct. 16 with tourist visas, did not
get permission to land and re
mained aboard the ship. They now
face possible return to Germany.
Fourteen Jews who previously ar
rived on tourist visas are now in
Mexico City awaiting a decision as
to their fate.
Phineas Biron’s
The Lid Is Off
If certain plans go through,
Cardinal Innitzer of Vienna may
shortly come to these shores to
present his views on recent events
to the American public. That is,
provided the Nazis let him out,
for his views have undoubtedly
changed since he urged the Aus
trians to vote “Ja” for Hitler.
Some of our wealthy people,
anxious to help convert those
German-Americans who err
by believing all the good
things that are said about Hit
ler, now have an excellent
opportunity to do this impor
tant work by supporting the
activity Friedrich Krause has
started in this country now.
If you’re interested in further
details drop us a line.
The defendants in the current
Nazi spy trial are hoping they’ll
be given nice long prison sentences.
They’re afraid that if they go free
they’ll be spirited back to Nazi-
land to fall under the Berlin ax.
One reason for the continued
power of Julius Streicher, whom
even most Nazis can’t stomach, is
that he has all the dope on Hitler’s
private life stowed away in a
French safe deposit vault.
Max Manischewitz, the Mat-
zo King, whose personal inter
ests have included symphonic
music, ballet, and the spon
sorship of struggling artists
and sculptors, under the name
of Max Mann, has created a
stir in psychiatric circles with
a phongraphic record entitled
‘‘Relaxation and S 1 e e p’’—
which actually works!
Then there’s the Oregon car
toon, reported by W. W., showing
Hitler studying the old slogan of
the Old Man of Doom, who in the
days before he started sawing
wood used to talk about “Me und
Gott”. Hitler’s reaction to the
phrase is: “How wordy!”
Senator Borah lost many friends
when he made public his letter to
Dr. Stephen S. Wise opposing
Zionist protest meetings against
England, although the letter had
bee regarded as a strictly perso
nal message. Dorothy Thompson
gained many friends with the re
cent column in w r hich she analyzed
anti-Semitism as a form of witch
lore.
When New York’s ex-May or
Jimmy Walker was asked by visit
ing German flyers to make a
speech in connection with their
presentation of a medal marked
“For Peace and Bravery” to an
oil executive, Jimmy complied
with a speech addressed to the
aviators. “In this room are Pro-
tesetants, Catholics and Jews,” he
said, “and here we have peace.
Go back and tell that to your
countrymen.”
What gives us a laugh is that
with all this talk about the reek
ing Reich’s need for colonies, the
Nazis are now complaining of a
shortage of workers and are plan
ning to drag home German emi
grants to other lands—Aryans, of
course. For our part we’re will
ing to let ’em have all the Nutsies
of Yorkville and points west.

PHILADELPHIA (RNS)—De
spite Nazi propaganda, German
speaking Swiss are “passionately
opposed” to anti-democratic and
racist doctrines of the Third
Reich, according to a communi
cation issued here by the Ameri
can Friends Service Committee.
The communication is signed by
Bertram Pickard, head of the
Committee’s Geneva Center.
“There is no shadow of dobt,”
Mr. Pikard writes, “that the Swis*
people as a whole, and not least
the German speaking majority,
are passionately opposed to the
racist doctrines of the Third
Reich; and are more determined
than ever to remain loyal to their
ancient institutions and tradi
tions.”
