THREAT TO DEMOCRACY SEEN
IN SMALL MEXICAN GROUP
BASEBALL WRITERS WILL HONOR
ALSCHACHT AT ANNUAL DINNER
NEW.,. YORK—(Special)—Al
though there' is little racist or
deep-rooted anti-Semitic feel
ing among the masses of people
in Mexico, pro-fascist forces in
that country are becoming in
creasingly active, declared Rabbi
Bernard Lander, associate Direc
tor of the Mayor’s Committee on
Unity in New York City, on his
return this week from a tour of
Mexico.
The great threat and danger
to Mexican democracy and the
Jewish community,” stated
Rabbi Lander, “lies in the in
creased activity and strength of
the Sinarquista.. Officially, they
claim to be a social and religious
organization rather than a
political party.
SI PPORTED NAZIS
“There is, however, evidence
of their facist tie-ups and of
their political plans and goals.
During the war they continually
supported and hewed close to
the Nazi line. Today they con
tinue to speak openly in ad
miration of Franco’s methods
and of the advisability of trans
forming Mexico into a “Spain”
or an ‘Argentina.’’
“A larg section of the Mexican
press,’’ Rabbi Lander warned,
“Is controlled by reactionaries.
An editor of the second largest
newspapr in Mxico is an avowd
Nazi, expelled from that country
during the war for pro-fascist
activities. He is an evample of
the type of ‘journalist’ who re
presents a real menace to Mexi
can democracy and the security
of all minority groups in that
country.”
COMACHO FRIENDLY
Pointing out that the Avila
Comacho go\ernment has been
consistently friendly to the
Jewish population, Rabbi Land
er, who met with Jewish leader
ship as well as government of
ficials while in Mexico, stated
that the Mexican Chamber of
Deputies recently passed a
strong resolution supporting the
struggle against anti-Semitism
on a world-wide scale.
Boycott Disregarded
TEL AVIV <JTAi—Despite the
boycott of Jcwish-made goods
from Palestine proclaimed by
the Arab League, many repre
sentatives of local and foreign
Arab firms as well as of South
Africian firms have visited and
placed orders at a fashion show,
which opened here this week.

By HASKELL COHEN
NEW YORK, < JTA). — The
baseball boys are giving A1
Schacht his just due next month
at tlie New York Baseball lit
ers’ annual dinner. A1 will re
ceive the Bill Slocum award for
meritorious service. For 30 years
A1 has served baseball in sev
eral ways. As a pitcher, A1 was
famous for his “nothing ball.”
Later as coach and comedian,
Schacht sealed the heights for
Washington and Boston in the
American Le’ague.
Popular With Fans
Very few fans throughout the
land can say they haven’t wit
nessed A1 put on his famous dia
mond skits. The Jewish comic
has appeared wherever organ
ized baseball has been played.
What is more, he has added hun
dreds and hundreds of fans to
the daily take wherever he has
appeared. First as partner of
Nick Altrock and later as a solo
act. His rowing act and take
off on a pitcher are among the
numerous skits in his repertoire.
When A1 coached the Red Sox,
his pal, Moe Berg, served as
catcher. A more unsuited paid
could not be invented. A1 was
the rough and ready type, Moc
the erudite scholar. Schacht al
ways knew when Berg was in
the clubhouse. If he spotted a
New York "Times” on a chair,
A1 would shout, “Ah — Berg is
here.”
Praise From Wrigley
As a kid, A1 possessed a lovely
tenor voice. For some time he
sang in a cantor’s choir and for
a while it Appeared he was head
ed for a chazan’s career. But his
love for baseball won out, and
he dropped the choirbox for
pitcher’s box. He hasn’t been
sorry.
It seems the only man who
never heard of Schacht was
P. K. Wrigley, owner of the Chi
cago Cubs. A1 wired Wrigley for
a date during a World Series at
Chicago and was turned down.
A few years later, Wrigley
laughed himself sick watching
Schacht perform in the Yankee
Stadium. “Who is this fellow,”
Inquired the chewing gum king.
“Why don’t we hhe him for the
Cub’s park once in a while.”
Board Meeting
The board of the Federation
of Jewish Social Service will hold
a luncheon meeting Wednesday,
Feb. 27, at 12:30 p. m. at the
Ansley Hotel.
