Twenty-one year old Cadet Eu-
gen M. Landy conferred last Sat
urday with the American Jewish
Congress Attorney Adrian Unger
about his scheduled appearance
before the special board of re
view examining his case. The
Navy’s action in refusing to grant
him a Naval Reserve Commission
has created a national furor. Re
turning from an 11-day trip on
the Tanker Western Sun, young
Landy had this to say: “I’ve won
dered how many cases are like
mine, in which the persons in
volved never said anything be
cause of fear of publicity or not
wanting to involve their mothers
or fathers.”
The Defense Department's Ad-
victory Commute'.' on Prisoners of
War has announced that of the
7,190 American fighting men in

ish boys were among the casu
alties. All told, 1,800,000 Ameri
cans fought in Korea.

veral times through the evening.
The no-decision match was seen
on TV on the DuMont network.
Highly commending the anti-
Communist work of Senator Joe
McCarthy the Catholic War Vet
erans of the U. S. A. adopted a

met in national convention at
New York’s Commodore Hotel.
Returning from a 39-day visit
to Latin-America, Cardinal Spell
man was asked to comment about
the recent nttacks on the Roman
Catholic Church in Argentina.
They were “very definitely or
ganized" by the Government, was
his reply. When asked for fur
ther comment, the Cardinal said:
‘‘Ask the Monsignor (Schultheiss
who had accompanied him) about
the attacks. He went to the hot
spot — I ducked.”
Good news Three scientists of
the College of Engineering, Uni
versity of California — L. Scha
fer, S. F. Mulford and E. D.
Howe — have written an approv
ing “Report on an Analysis of
the Zarchin Scheme for Demin
eralizing Sen Water by Codl Dis
tillation. The inventor of the pro
cess is Dr. Alexander Zarchin,
who has given the Israel Govern
ment first choice in its use.
A Biblical Garden, containing
182 plants mentioned in the Old
Testament, has been created at
Woodbridge, N. J., on a five-acre
tract. Sponsored by the Beth Is
rael Memorial Park as an educa
tional park for the public and a
sanctuary for meditation for the
Jewish population of the Metro
politan New York area, the new
Garden of Israel is the creation
of the renowned botanist. Dr.
Harold N. Moldenke, who has
been aided in his work by his
wife, Alma.
Bernard Trager, NORAC chair
man, announces that the Atlanta,
Ga., Jewish Community Council
has become the 34th community
agency member of the National
Community Relations Advisory
Council. “Discrimination costs
the nation $30 billion each year,’
according to the public opinion
expert, Elmo Roper, N. C. Belth
reports in a recent ADL Bulletin.
M. Bentob Messa president of the
Jewish community of Aden, Brit
ish Arabia, now in New York
City, tells us that the Aden Jew
ish community of 8000 has dwin
dled to 600. “Judaism for the
Modem Age” is the theme of the
1955 national B’nai B’rith Hillel
Summer Institute opening at
Camp B’nai B’rith Tuesday, Au
gust 30.
Dr. Sara Feder, president of
Pioneer Women, reports that the
new year 5716 will see the com
pletion of three decades of serv
ice to Israel by Pioneer Women,
the major women’s Labor Zionist

way Beach.
Menachem begin and his He-
rut party leaders have refused to
pay the traditional call on Presi
dent Izhak Ben Zvi. Mr. Begin’s
refusal, it is claimed, was based
on a deliberate slight. In the past
the President has made appoint
ments to meet the parties in the
order of their numerical size.
Though Herut emerged as the sec
ond largest party, it was the last
to be invited. Meanwhile, David
Ben Gurinn, asked to form a new
Government, finds himself in a
political dilemma.
The election of the formerly
outlawed Shukri Kal-uwatly as
the new president of Syria con
stituted a victory for the right-
wing coalition. Israelis see no
change for the better or worse in
Israel-Syrian relations.
Major General Burns has riot
yet succeded in breaking the
deadlock in the Israel Egyptian
Gaza border talks.
American officials in West Ger
man are gravely concerned over
a new trend toward Nazism
throughout the country. Aden
auer’s own party is riddled with
neo-Nazis and ex-Hitler Jugend
type now grown to maturity in
their own Nazi frame of refer
ence. The Americans seem to
have no method in counteracting
this dangerous trend. What is
further disturbing State Depart
ment officials is Conrad Adenau
er’s impending visit to Moscow.
The Kremlin has already “accept
ed” Adenauer’s “plan” to discuss
’•unity” of East and West Ger
many, according to a late report
from the Soviet capital.
Yiddish recital in Moscow: for
the first time in many years, a
Yiddish singer, Miss Sidi Tal, gave
a concert in the Pushkin theatre.

other popular Yiddish melodies.

nies, in announcing the program,
saluted the surprised audience
with the words "Sholom Alich-
cm.”
Propagandist Dies
NEW YORK (JTA) — Edward
J. Smythe, notorious anti-Semitic
and anti-Catholic propagandist
who was tried for sedition dur
ing the second World War, died
here at the age of 63.
Smythe, who was denounced in
Congress in 1941 as a represen
tative of the “worst forms of un-
Americanism operating an anti-
Catholic and anti-Jewish racket,”
distributed large quantities of
Nazi propaganda in this country
and otherwise cooperated with the
German American Bund and the
Ku Klux Klan. His sedition trial
ended without a decision when
the presiding judge died and the
government failed to press for a
new trial. He was recently giv
en a year’s suspended sentence
for using the mails to defraud.
