Don’t Be Fooled By Jewish Name;
FROM FAR AFIELD
What is believed to be the only
cross in the world with Hebrew
inscriptions has been discovered
by Aaron D. Abraham of Durban,
South Africa, who photographed
the “Cross of Jesus Christ’’ at
Prague, which has the Hebrew
words, “Kaddosh, Kaddosh, Kad-
dosh," etc., at the foot There’s
a Jewish humorous journal in
Budapest, published in Hungarian,
the editors of which are a Catholic
and a Protestant, both of them con
verted Jews South African in
dustrialists are negotiating with
Jewish manufacturers from Su
deten land to transfer their factor
ies to South Africa—The zoo keep
er in Tel Aviv, we hear, is the
former chief rabbi of Copenhag
en. Italian Ambassador Fulvio
Suvich returned to this country
with the statement that Italy has
100,000 Jews. His figures don’t
jibe with those issued after the
recent official census, which show
ed somewhat more than 50,000
Jews in Mussolini’s land.
DANUBE BLUES
Thousands echoed the senti
ments expressed on leaflets re
cently scattered by a reckless soul
who rushed through the workers'
quarter of Vienna in a speeding
taxi. "Now that we’ve finished
up the Jews,” the leaflets pro
claimed, "we’d like some bread.”
Vice President Fitzthus of the
Vienna police has an impressive
jail record acquired in the course
of his stink-bomb-throwing into
non-Aryan jewelry shops, govern
ment-owned telephone booths and
M-G-M film houses in the pre-
Anschluss days.—Just before Fritz
Gruenbaum, famed cabaret artist,
was sent to the notorious Dachau
concentration camp he was forced,
together with the one-time Aus
trian propaganda chief Adam (an
anti,Nazi) to regale a storm troop
detail with repeated renditions of
the Horst Wessel song, continued
until both the “entertainers ’ had
memorized the Nazi hymn. I aula
Wessely, once a. Reinhardt actress,
finally agreed to let herself be co
ordinated”—but when, at a recent
presentation of a play starring hei,
only seven orchestra seats . were
occupied she decided that if the
Nazis didn’t want to see her act
she wouldn’t try to make them,
and refused to go through with her
performance.
WE TOLD YOU SO
Remember our predicting, way
back last summer, that Pierre van
Paassen’s book on his life as a
foreign correspondent, “Days of
Our Years,” would create a tre
mendous sensation when it is
published? Well, the news hasn't
been made public as yet, but his
book has been chosen by the
Book-of-the-Month Club as one of
its forthcoming selections—which
guarantees it a minimum sale of
75,000 copies.—And remember our
telling you a couple of columns
ago that one of the three brain
trusters of the Arab terrorists is
the son of an American Indus
trialist? Well, Charles Hopkins
Brown, son of Charles W. Brown
of the American Steel and Wire
Company, has just been ordered
by the British authorities to leave
Palestine on the grounds that his
activities have been inimeal to
British interest.

If you are one of those Jewish
football fans who get all excited
over a back with a Jewish-sound-
ing name here’s some good advice:
DON’T DO IT! The country is
loaded down with college players
lugging around Jewish-sounding
names but who are not Jewish.
Just to give you an idea, take
Weiss of Wisconsin. Fogel of Notre
Dame or Siegal of Michigan. All
are non-Jews. Here is a list of
colleges on which teams there are
no Jewish players no matter how
Jewish the names of the players
on those teams may sound. Baylor,
North Dakota, Indiana, Southern
Methodist, Northwestern, Oberling,
Texas A. & M., Clarkson, Dela
ware, North Carolina, Oklahoma
A. & M., Oklahoma, U. of Wash

West Virginia Wesleyan, Georgia,

Marquette, Army, Florida, Ogle
thorpe, Mississippi State, Western
! Maryland, Drexel, Iowa, Utah,
Wisconsin, Tulane, Montana and
I Amherst.
A couple of months ago, when
i Barney Ross lost his Welterweight
j title, we were bemoaning the fact
! that for the first time in years box-
I ing had no Jewish world cham-
j pion. Well, the shivah is over for
Solly Krieger of Brooklyn took
! care of the business of there being
no Jewish champion by winning

Solly, who’s been lighting for

I been within reach of the top, won
j the crown by taking a 15-round

St. Paul, Minn.—An interfaith
digest, entitled, “Religion,” will
make its bow with the December
issue, it has been announced here.
A monthly which will take “the
positive best from all religious
publications," the new digest “will
define the stand of religion before
class-antagonsm, atheism, intol
erance, persecution, race hatred
and all manner of isms.”
“Religion" will be edited by
Jerome Gaspard, assisted by an
editorial board composed of Dr.
Samuel McCrea Cavert, general
secretary of the Federal Council
of the Churches of Christ in
America; Dr. George N. Shuster,
Catholic writer and former Mana
ging Editor of the Commonweal;
and Roger W. Straus, co-chairman
of the National Conference of
Jews and Christians.
In an editorial foreword, the
publication says:
"In America are three groups—
Protestants, Catholics, Jews—who
have something in common.
“In common they have a belief
in God and the conviction that our
democratic form of government
will best conserve both religious
and political freedom.
"In common they have against
them an anti-God movement,
which, should it acquire sufficient
strength, would propagandize God
out of mind, and put an end to
personal liberty.
* "It, therefore, seems indicated
that these three groups should un
derstand each other, and that oth
ers not in any group, should un
derstand their common aim.”
