Huge crowds of Frenchmen, especially students, participated in these demonstrations, according to information reaching here from Vichy. The students, disregarding possible penalties, wore yellow Mogen Dovid inside of which un complimentary slogans ridiculing the Vichy regime were inscribed. Many of them shouted: “The trait or Fernand de Brinon has a Jew ish wife” and ‘‘the French repre sentative in Paris has worked for years for Jewish bankers.” The police were forced to use clubs to disperse the demonstra tors, especially in Marseilles where crowds displayed open in dignation. The property of the de ported Jews is being immediately sold at auction by the Vichy auth orities with the proceeds going to the State. U. S. Airmen Visit Jewish Colony In Palestine JERUSALEM, (JTA) — Sixty American airmen serving with the United States forces in the Middle East visited the colony of Ein Hashofet (Judge’s Well) which is named after the late Justice Louis D.

Gable Swell Guy, Says Roommate PITTSBURG, (JTA)—“He’s a swell guy, and I don’t blame any girl for falling for him,” writes Corporal Hyman Grossman, 25, about his new room-mate at the Air Force Officers’ Training School in Miami Beach. “Gosh, thousands of women gather under the window every morning just to see him march to breakfast. But he’s regular. “You know, when he heard about us Grossmans having six brothers in the army, he actually asked for a picture. Imagine, HE wanted OUR pictures.” Lots of people want to see the Grossman family picture—families of six soldiers are somewhat rare, but when an actor asks for a pic ture, it does seem strange. £>703 Raids Conducted Throughout Southern France It is reported that raids have been conducted in every city in Southern France. Jews, including even those who enlisted in the French Army in 1939 soon after the war broke out, are being ar rested in their homes, in cafes, in restaurants and wherever the po lice can lay their hands upon them. Street cars and busses are being stopped to allow the police to search for Jews among the pas sengers, while travelers on trains must identify themselves in order to avoid being arrested as Jews. * An eye-witness story published in the Zuricher Volksrecht de scribing the raids on Jews in Mar seilles says that all arrested Jews are being herded into freight cars and sent to unknown destinations. At the same time, a report from Paris here predicts that in addi tion to the deportation of Jews who entered France since 1933, the deportation of native-born Jews from France wil^-start soon. The civilian population in France displays great sympathy (Continued on Page 5) The sound of the Ram’s Horn on the New Year is a call to hope and faith for every lew. On this New Year of 5703, the blast of the Shofar rises amid the groans of countless Jews enslaved and the tumult of the worldwide battle for freedom. It summons each American Jew to renew and strengthen his devotion to the cause of survival and rescue of the Jewish people, * which is an integral part of the struggle for democracy. Through the United Jewish Appeal for Refugees, Overseas Needs and Palestine we are called upon to give the fullest measure of support to the Joint Dis tribution Committee, United Palestine Appeal and National Refugee Service, which are hold ing the vital sectors in this worldwide front. New Year Strengthens Faith In Victory- Judge Levinthal Washington, D. C.:—Declaring that the dawn of the new year 5703 “instills in us renewed faith in the triumph of the cause of the United Nations,” Judge Louis E. Levinthal, president of the Zionist Organization of America, in a Rosh Hashanah message to American Zionists, voiced the conviction that the “freedoms we Americans en joy, shall become the inalienable rights of all men everywhere and that the Jewish people shall find permanent redemption in the re establishment of Palestine as a Jewish Commonwealth.” The text of Judge Levinthal’s Rosh Hashanah message follows: "The Jewish year 5703, we fer vently pray, shall usher in a new era of hope and courage for all mankind. America’s entrance into the war has strengthened and ex tended the anti-Axis front, both here and abroad, and has rallied all freedom-loving peoples in the fight against their common enemy. The Jewish people, first in human history to proclaim the concept of liberty and first to bear the brunt of the modern tyrant’s as sault, is heartened by the realiza tion that the enlightened forces of the world are now determined, at whatever cost, to eradicate the scourge which threatened to over whelm humanity. “Led by our inspired and inspir ing leader, President Franklin D. Roosevelt, all the United Nations have joined in an all-out effort to defend freedom and justice, and to crush the attempt by the Azis to plunge the world into darkness.
