national RCA Victor for the re
cording of opera, Polish, Russian
and Yiddish folk music, and Jew
ish liturgy. Cantor Kusevitsky,
probably the greatest living expo
nent of Jewish liturgy, escaped
from Nazi occupied Warsaw, mak
ing his way to the USSR where he
toured the battle fronts entertain
ing the Red Army. He arrived in
the U. S. in 1946. He is managed
by the William Morris Agency.
MOVIE
Thumbs down on Crossfire, Hol
lywood's first production dealing
directly with anti-Semitism. A
grade B product, it is unconvinc
ing, a cheap thriller, and one is
more likely to remember the anti-
Semitic statements by its villain,
than the anti-anti-Semitic utter
ances by the other players. The
treatment is of elementary school
level. Six million Jews die, and not
a single picture has come out of
Hollywood to memoralizc* their
martyrdom.
Then Hollywood moguls got
seared by events on the home
scene, and rushed Into produc
tion something so clumsily prop-
agandfetic as to bring advene
results, if any.
The intellectual "depth” of the
film is illustrated by the warning
that from hating Jews one might
progress to hating "men with
striped neckties.” Rather not have
any films on the subject, than the
Crossfire trash. Incidentally, have
you read some weeks ago Broad
way columnist Earl Wilson's in
terview with Lena Horne? She told
of her own plight, and that the
Jews are "not next, they are there
already, as witness the ‘restricted’
j rentals in Beverly Hills.”
PRESS CONFERENCE
Dr. Emanuel Neumann's first
I press conference with Jewish
: pressmen last week was mostly off
■ the record. Neumann has scored
j high with the press because of his
facile tri-linguality and profound
I knowledge- There is only one other
j American Jewish leader who has
| managed to establish such infor
mal relations with the Jewish
j scribes. He is veteran Louis Lip6ky,
whose style always evoked their
admiration. The scribes are criti-
! cal and can’t easily warm up to
j personalities in official life.
60 Jewish Scouts
Sail for Jamboree
Dr. Harry Lasker, National Di
rector of Jewish Relationships,
Boy Scouts of America, will attend
the Sixth World Jamboree at Mois-
son, Prance, August 9 to 22. He is
serving as a member of the central
staff of the American Delegation
which consists of 1,090 Boy Scouts
and leaders from every state, the
District of Columbia and Alaska.
Among them are more than 60
Boy Scouts of Jewish faith.
Dr. Lasker, an ordained Rabbi,
will arrange religious services for
those of the Jewish faith at the
Jamboree, as well as aboard the
Army Transport "General C. H.
Muir,” upon which the United
States delegation sails from New
York on July 24.

How to Treat an
Eye-Sore'
For over a year that vacant house
on Elm Street has been an “eye
sore” to the community. 1-awn over
grown with weeds; trees and shrub
bery untrimmed; house unpointed
and run-down.
Finally we called on the owner,
and read the riot act. If he didn’t
want to rent the house that was
his business—but it was tAetr busi
ness that he keep it looking decent,
or they’d have it condemned as a
public nuisance.
That got results! . . . like the
Brewers get results with their
prograta of Solf-Kegulattota. When
a tavern keeper lets his place get
run-down ... or fails to obey the
letter of the law, a representative
of the Brewers calls on him and
tries to persuade him to mend his
ways. If that doesn't work (and it
usually does) the Brewers co-op
erate with local authorities to see
that the tavern “gets in line.”
