Tennis Glamour Boy
Dick Savitt, six-foot three-
inch star from Orange, New
Jersey, has blossomed into the
glamour boy class on the tennis
tournament circuit. The ex-
Cornell bright light admits he’s
volleying “better now than I
ever have," and that his whole
game is "on the upgrade." An
important reason for Dick's ad
vance was proferred by an
anonymous informer who con
tributes: "Confidence; that’s
what’s made Savitt, who used
to be a ball boy for fellows like
Gardner Mulloy and Vic Seix-
• as. Until this year he could not
forget it."
The player claims that Dick
always looked upon them with
awe, and now that hd's defeat
ed Don McNeill twice, Earl
Cochell, and Vic Seixas and
won that Pennsylvania crown,
he’s convicod that he’s on a
par with the pack. That’s one
statement that can be made
without fear of disputation.
The bronzed, husky lad, who
came up with his stunning tri-,
umph in last week’s Pennsyl
vania State championships,
swept past his opening of op
ponents in the sixtieth annual
Meadow Club tourney in South
hampton, Long Island, on July
25th.

story—"The Harlem Globetrot
ter Story.”

A1 Rosen, who is creating
quite a furor with his home
run belting for the Cleveland
Indians, has set another record
of sorts by breaking his nose
Jor the ninth time in twenty-six
years, Rosen has a prediliction
for getting his schnozzle in the
way of hot liners of bruising
fists.
As a boxer at the University
of Miami, A1 was wont to get
his beak in the way of flying
leather from energetic team
mates. His most recent break
was sustained when the Jewish
third baseman ran after a pop
fly and lost the ball in the sun.
The apple landed square on his
nose, breaking that instrument
for the ninth time and, in addi
tion, gave young A1 two beau
tiful shiners which he carried
for a week.

American Students Get Blurred Picture
of Jews’ Survey of Textbook Shows
NEW YORK, July 18. (JTA)—
The results of a five-year study
on prejudice in textbooks pub
lished in the U. S. were made
public here today by the National
Conference of Christians and
Jews. The study was conducted by
the American Council of Educa
tion, and its findings are based on
an examination of 267 school
texts, 49 college manuels, and 100
of the most widely read children’s
books.
The findings established that
unconscious prejudices are often
revealed in the too simple gen
eralizations drawn by writers of
history textbooks, especially in
tti^ description of the part played
by Jews in the origins of Chris
tianity, and in the false and frag
mentary treatment of the Middle
Ages.
“Many stereotypes about Jews
are rather generally believed by
unthinking Americans," the sur
vey emphasizes. “From what they
hear outside of classrooms, stu
dents get the impression that Jew's
are: 1. Unscrupulous capitalists;
2. Communists; 3. Unmoral and
promiscuous; 4. Materialistic; 5.
Shrewd and canny; 6. Clannish; 7.
Strange and sinister; 8. Loud,,
crude and socially aggressive; 9.
Intelligently superior and book
ish; 10. Excitable, sensitive and
emotional."
The survey also established that
I most of the material about Jew's
in texts is about the ancient Jews,
j Three-fourths of the space de
voted to them in world history
I texts deals with events before 79
A, D. "Students are left with the
impression that the Jewish relig
ion and Jewish culture have
changed very little since that
time," the report .stresses. “To
make matters worse, many of the
accounts of the Crucifixion pro
vide the basis for the development
of prejudice against the Jews.” •
The report brings out the fact
that modern Judaism is entirely
negltected in American textbooks.
Less than 12'percent of the texts
even mention the existence of the
Jews as a modern religious group.
In the few which do discuss Jew
ish religious developments of to
day, there is usually only a fleet
ing reference to the cooperation
between Jews and non-Jews in
America on some of the . basic
social questions of the day. “No
American textbook makes a ma
jor point of the remarkably close
relationship of the Jewish relig
ious ideal toAmerican democracy,"
the study emphasizes.
When the long distance operator
put my call in for Jan Peerce, the
world-famous tenor, whose home
is in New York, I thought I would
have a long wait. I was pleasantly
surprised at having Jan answer
the telephone . . . not his secretary
or his business manager. Jan’s
speaking voice is as rich and re
sonant as his glorious singing
voice. He was bubbling over with
enthusiasm as he started telling
me about the trip his wife and he
are taking to Israel . . . (as a mat
ter of fact he was packing when
the phone rang.)
Jan told me
that he plans
t o concertize
with the Israel
Philharmonic
Orchestra and
give some reci
tals while in
that country.
The Peerces are
planning t o
| spend about ten days in Europe on
their return from Israel, and do a
bit of ‘this and that’ ... to quote
the famous tenor.
I asked Jan my favorite ques
tion, What was his favorite food
and did he nave a recipe? . . . Oh
yes, he had the "best recipe for
Boiled Chicken in the Pot with
ing portions. Heat a heavy, deep
pot and sear chicken on all sides.
No other fat is needed. Add onion
and stir until onion is light yellow.
Add other ingredients and cook
over moderate heat _until chicken
is tender. Cover the pot tightly.
Cooking time about one and one-
half hours.
Matzoh Balls
2 eggs separated.
Vfe cup matzoh meal
>2 teaspoon salt.
Beat egg whites and yolks sep
arately. Combine, adding salt and
matzoh meal gradually while stir
ring. Refrigerate 30 minutes, be
fore forming into small balls with
a teaspoon or by rolling in the
palms of the hands. Drop one by
one into boiling water. Cover and
cook at a slow boil, lor 20 minutes.
Combine both for Boiled Chick
en and Matzoh Balls.
Matzoh Balls I could ever want.”
Here is Jan*Peerce‘s receipe:
4 to 5 pound chicken
1 onion
3 cups cold water
1 cup shredded carrot
Vi cup finely diced celery
Vi teaspoon salt.
