Tidbits From Ereixnthere By Phlneas J, Blron
BEHIND THE NEWS . . . Bb Here's something that has come to our attention concerning police officer James Drew of New Yorlt City, who recently was exonerated of charges of subversive antl-emitlc activities . . . His wife. We're told, was the organizational secretary of Amer¬ ica's "little fuehrer" Joe MeWll¬ llams in Brooklyn . . . Drew's house was filled with anti-Semi¬ tic books from cellar to attic . . . Drew, moreover, had a very odd hobby ... To amuse himself he spent hours mimeographing anti- Semitic hate songsfor mass dis¬ tribution . . . But none of this in terferred with his being white¬ washed pf all charges . . . And here is a news story that should have been featured In all the newspapers at the time when the Paie.stine Resolution was be¬ ing discussed . . . It's a dispatch which, as you may have gather ed. wasn't featured at all~re,-id ing: "Two.days after setiinir foot on Palestine .soil, twelve Jewish refugees volunteered in Jewish units of the Britllih forces . They left the immigration camp at Atllth directly for a military tiaining center" .... MILItARY INTELLIGENCE .
