Jr. Hadassoh-Masada
Dance This Sunday
Junior Hadassah and Masada
have completed arrangements
for their gala spring dance to be
held Sunday, from 9 p. m. to
midnight, at the Mayfair Club.
Proceeds from the scrip dance
will go to aid the Jewish Na
tional Fund and other important
welfare projects in the Holy
Land which are supported by
Masada and Junior Hadassah.
One of the city’s leading or
chestras has been engaged for
this occasion.
It was during the last days of
March that most of the Jewish
lersonnel at Fort Benning began
•eceiving a letter from their
:haplain. The chaplain, Alfred
I. Kolatch, formerly Rabbi of
Congregation House of Peace in
Columbia, S. C., used the letter
as a means of introducing him
self to his new military flock
and also of presenting a noble
undertaking in which he wanted
the men to participate. He spoke
of a meeting that held a few
days after his arrival at which
time those present voted that a
drive be conducted for the United
Jewish Appeal on the post. Those
it the meeting decided that
‘each of us do our best to con
tribute at least five per cent of
lur month’s income” towards the
qver-all national goal of $100,-
000,000.
No high pressure salesman
ship was used. Just that letter
and another which followed as
a remind?) • No quotas were set.
No amounts, nor the names oT
contributors were to be an
nounced. No glory for anyone
Charitableness in its truest sense
was to be practiced.
Nevertheless, the replies began
coming in within very few days.
Contributions from $1.00 and up
began to arrive from men who
received only $50.00 per month
less allotments which often
equalled half of their salary.
Most contributions, however,
were closer to $5.00 than $1.00.
Some wrote a little note or a
long letter with their contribu
tion.
Pvt. Marcus Temkin, of the
paratrooper outfit dashed off a
brief note with his few dollars:
"This is my contribution to the
UJA" he said simply, "I know
there is no more worthy cause.’’
Officer Candipte Jack Edward
Brown, who felt that he wanted
‘o give more than he enclosed
stated: “If circumstances make
it possible you may expect an
additional contribution in the fu
ture.” Others, like Jules L. Zent-
ner of the Third Student Train
ing Regiment, submitted a con
fession with their donation. “I
was in ignorance of the UJA
Campaign, “wrote Zentner, “I
am one of those who possess a
letter on a dog tag an very little
else to deserve it . . . Thank you
for your kindness in writing me.”
In a little less than a week al
most $300 was contributed with
much more promised.
The Chaplain Kolatch, who
vas at Benning for less than a
month, received orders. He was
with the army for three years
and was to be discharged on
April 11. On April 10 he wrote
the men his last letter. “I can’t
say I'm sorry to be leaving,” he
'mid the men, “each of us hopes
r 0 r his April 11." He urged the
men to continue with the drive
despite his departure and made
provisions for its continuation.
From the corporal now in
'■harge. reports have reached us
hat funds are still coming in.
HEARD IN
THE LOBBIES
By ARNOLD LEVIN
WHEN PEOPLE STARVE
Does your bread taste differ
ent lately? It should. Not be
cause they're supposed to be
making white bread a little
darker now. Oh, no. But be
cause you should be aware that
for every mouthful you eat,
someone in Europe is eatiag a
calorie. In Europe they eat cal
ories instead of food. It may
seem odd, but calorie?., can ruin
your spirit, even if they manage
to keep your body alive, if they
are the same calories every day.
Which has nothing to do with
an interesting article in "Lib
erty” by Herbert Zim, entitled
“What Happens When People
Starve.” Mr. Zim tells of 36 men
who volunteered to starve for
science. Says Mr. Zim: “The
experiment over, I talked to a
volunteer . . . ‘Would you sign
up for another experiment if
there were the need?’ I asked.
Certainly, if there were the
need,’ he replied. But do you
think we have any need for
starvation?’ ”
CHAPLAINS OVER AMERICA
The Jewish chaplains did their
bit overseas, but when they re
turned they didn’t feel they had
done enough. They’re traveling,
about, telling American Jews
what is happening to their bro
thers abroad. Chaplains Nadich,
Schacter, H o n i g , Haselkorn,
Goldstein, Goldberg, to mention
but a few, are doing Just this.

Mufti Not A War Criminal,
British Govt. Tells French
LONDON (JPS-Palcor)—The British Government has
told the French Government that Haj Amin el Husseini, ex-
Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, is not in the category of war
criminals, but is regarded only as a quisling, it was disclosed
in Commons. Hector McNeil, Parliamentary Secretary for
the Foreign Office, indicated, in &n investigator and collaborator,
reply to numerous questions,
that the Government will not in “ he Nazi P lans to exterm3 '
i tquest the Mufti’s extradition
tor trial as a war criminal, des
pite the fact that he is indicted
as such already by the Govern
ment of Yugoslavia, where his
Nazi Moslem Legion committed
most of their atrocities against
Jews and others fighting the
Germans.
George Thomas, Labor MP,
asked why the Government
denied that Husseini is a war
criminal, and whether in view
of his activities on behalf of the
Nazis and the part he played as
nate European Jewry, appro
priate steps will be taken to ob
tain his extradition so that he
can be tried. McNeil replied that
the Mufti is not a war criminal
in the technical sense of the
term, since he is. not an enemy
national or a person who served
In enemy armed forces. "Matters
in respect to which he might be
accused would Jbe offenses com

law, while owing allegiance to
the King,” he added.
