Intermarriage
The ratti of intermarriage between Jtw and non-Jew in Un.ssia is tcrrjffic, Mr, Morri.s Waldman of the American Jew¬ ish Committee tells nie.
Whether 3-011 think that is a good thing or not, depends of conrsc on yonr religious or racial view ]>oints. I do not .¦iet up fis cither a religious teacher or bio¬ logical cxi)ert, .-io ( have no expert opin-. ion to express.
In America, I should say that tlie melting process seems just a littlft bit ex¬ tra-hazardous, to iiBC insurance phrase¬ ology. Of course, I offer this niercly aa an unexpcrt reflection.
A Second Victim But take the recent case of Dr. Thomashefsky, son of the famous Jewish actor, Boris Thomashcfsky. You recall that as the result of the little triangle, in which he was iilayuig the central rote, he was shot and now ties paralyzed for life. But there was a sequel to the story, which was never printed in the news¬ papers. After the shooting, the brother of _ another nurse visited the hospital. This visitor was a non-Jew, whose .sis¬ ter had married a Jewish physician on tlie staff. The Jewish physician and his non- Jewish brothcrTinrlaw, got into a discus¬ sion of the Thomashcfsky case, the Jew- hh physician siding with Dr. Thomas¬ hcfsky, and his non-Jewish brother-in-law arguing for the non-Jewish girl, who did the shooting. The discussion ended with the brother-in-law shooting the Jewish physician. So there are now two Jewish physicians at the hospital, lying in the patients' wards.
Which all goes to prove, that we are all still a little too touchy on the ques¬ tion of, race relations—rin other words, there are still seemingly many pitfalLs to intermarriage.
When Stalin Raged , Talking about Russia, and who isn't these days—there is the story told to tne hy Leo Glassman.
It seems- that one day, the watchrban guarding Tovarisch Stalin's quarters, heard an uproar within.
.Stalin's voice was booming like a cou¬ ple o( cannons. The guard listened and ¦ lie heard Stalin giving someone Hail Co- . Unnbia. ¦
¦'Vou offspring of a piip," shouted StaIin~"you crook, you insect, you blankety-bfank, blank, blank—you ought to be torn from limb to limb. You should go to the earth. You should catch the cholera. Someone ought to give you a soek in the eye—two sacks on your feet., You should be shot at. sunrise— anyway, not later than noon."
So it went on, terrifically, furiously. The guard stood quivering, as Stalin's fury was let loose.
The guard's curiosity was aroused. Who was this'that was getting all this abuse? -He peeped through the door. Tliere was nobody bnt Stalin, He en¬ tered. "Tpvarish Stalin," he said, "yon .sure are giving-that man what he de^ seryed. There was no mincing of. words there. But where is the man?"
"You idiot," shouted Stalin I at him, "don't you know that every good Rus¬ sian must set aside ten minutes a: day for self-criticisin?"
Good^ Milt—Come Again Credit this one to Milton ,W. Goldber- ger of the Memphis Hebrew Watchman. Little Isaac, was crying bitterly on one OJ the main streets of a big ci.ty. His sobs soon brought a large crowd about him. He was a miserable looking little rascal and. hi.s crying was loud and-ter¬ rifying:. An eltlcrly wonian stepped from, the crowd, and placing her arm around the boy, asked sympathetically, "What's the matter, my child, are you lost?"
The, boy sobbed a moment and then paused. He looked around at the large audience he had assembled. Then lifting his voice, he. shouted, loudly, "Yea, Ma'am,' I'm lost. Will somebody please take me home to Jacob Silberstein, the well-known clothier of the west end, who Has just got in his winter stock of spring overcoats, suits, neckties, shirts, hats and umbrcUas, wjiich he will sell cheaper than anyone else m the city."
Brides and Circle.") Dr.^ Bloch, the big chief of the Jewish Division of the New York public library is a sort of national "Ask me another." Many are the curious queries to which he i.^ supposed to know the answer. The other day, a non-Semitic reporter of the Bronx Home News approached his ros¬ trum with the question, "Why does the bride circle the bridegroom seven times at a Jewish wedding ceremony?**
Before the doctor conld answer, his pretty assistant shot forth: "Sore, don't you know, in order zu verdrehen ihr die kopf." The answer howiever proved in¬ adequate to the non-Yiddish compre¬ hending reporter. '* An Inffenious ProfesBur They say it hapiiencd at the beginning of the seme-ster in the Harvard Law , School, in the class of a certain Pro¬ fessor McCullough.
The Prof, ha dnot yet gotten the roll of students at the initiation of his classes, and was in a quandry aa to how to call on his .students. An idea finally struck htm. "Mr. Smith," he called out. There was no' response. "Mr. Johnson," began again the prof. No response again.
"Well, this ought to get a response," said the prof. a.s he shouted, "Mr. Cohen." It did—five of them.

As one might have expected, it appears . that the rage for the Hmpress Eugenie hats is all due to a Jew—none other than Irv Straus, publicity exploiter, , (Continued on page -J)
BE SURE TO TUNE IN ON RABBI TARSHISH SUN¬ DAY MORNING
Disposes of Estate Valued in Excess
Of $20,000,000; Residue to Be
Divided Among Children
PHILANTHROPIES ARE TO BE CONTINUED BY CHILDREN
CHICAGO', Jan. 15—The implicit con¬ fidence which Julius Rosenwald had in his children's ability to continue Iiis tradi¬ tion of philanthropy was revealed today when his will, disposing of an estate val¬ ued ''in excess of twenty million dollars," was filed for probate in the Cook County Probate Court, before Judge Henry Horner.
The will, dated December 12, 1931, makes but a sinVle specific bequest—a sum of iiill,nflfl,000 to the Rosenwald Family Association, the certificate of resolution announcing the incorporation of which was filed today with County Recorder Clayton E. Smith. The Rosen¬ wald Family .\sRociation held its first meeting on December 28th,-just nine days before the passing of the Jewish leader and philanthropist.
, The entire residue of the estate, the will provides, is to lie divided equally among Mr. Ro.scnwald's five children, Lessing J., and William of Philadelphia, Mrs. Marion R. Stern of Chicago, Mrs. Adele Levy of New York and Mrs. Ed¬ gar.Stern of New Orleans.
No provision was made for the widow, Mrs. Adele Goodkind Rosenwald, it was explained, Jje'cause at the time of their (narriage. two years ago, Mr. Rosenwald had settled $1,000,000 on her.
Lessing J. Rosenwald and Mrs. Marion R. Stern are named the executors of the estate. The will stipulates that they are not to be re()uired to give bond.
The expenditure of the .1iIl,000,00O be¬ quest to the Rcsenwald Family Associa¬ tion is left to the discretion of the chil¬ dren, who are directed, however, to make additional provision for the Museum of Science and Industry, which. Julius Ros¬ enwald endowed with *o,000,000. The sum of the Rosenwald Foundation is to be paid by the estate within a period of two years, the will stipulates.
To Continue Philanthropies
The continuation of the vast philan¬ thropies which lie conducted was hiT, sured by Julius Rosenwald in the last day.s before his passing in a conference with Ilis children at his bedside, and in his will, it was learned here today.
The estate of the Jewish leader and philanthropist will go to his children, it is .virtually assured, and special provi¬ sions are made foi- the continuation of the numerous philanthropic projects which made, his name known throughout the world.
Particular emphasis is placed upon the completion of several projects, involving the expenditure of a sum of approxi¬ mately $10,000,000, according to Edwin R. Embreii, president of the Rosenwald Foundation. '
Chief among tbese uncompleted proj¬ ects is the cdlonizatioii of Jews in Soviet Russia, to wliich Mr, Rosenwald pledged $0,000,000, and bf which half remains unpaid, Mr. Rosenwald's last instruc¬ tions provide that the balance be paid by his children.
Another ¦ Jewish project which i mained unfilled -was the building df school in New York for the training of Jewish social workers. This too, the children are asked to carry through,
A gift of $250,000, to Beirut Univer¬ sity, a Protestant institution in Syria, contingent upon the raising of $5,000,000 by the University, is to be paid at once, according to Mr. Roseriwald's directions.
Similarly, the children are requested to carry throngh their father's intention of contributing $750,000 to the building of a women's dormitory at Chicago Univer' sity, in addition to the $750,000 men's dormitory at the same institution.
The children of Mr. Rosenwald, late last nionth, prepared to carry on their father's benefactions when 'they formed the Rosenwald Family Association.
Their father's will, it is understood, sets aside certain funds to be used by tbis association to carry on the projects which enjoined them to fulfill before he died.
The will, it is believed, sets aside an additional sum for the Museum of Sci¬ ence and Industry, which previously re¬ ceived a $5,000,000 endowment, as well as additional funds for the Rosenwald Foundation.
Lessing Rosenwald, the eldest son, now a vice-chairman of Sears, Roebuck ami Company, last week succeeded lns> father as char man of the Board:

WASHINGTON — A delegation of twenty-five American citizens, the wives of husbands, whom they niarried abroad, appeared before the House Immigration Committee yesterday to aijpeal for the adoption of the bill introduced by Con-' gressman Samuel Dickstein to exempt from the quota husbands of American citizens, regardless of the date of niar-
According to tbe present regulation, alien husbands of American citizens, to whom they were married after June 1, lf>28, are entitled only to preference within the quota. Alien wives of Amleri- can citizens, however, arc exempt from the quota, regardless of the date of marr riage.
The women, some of whom were ac¬ companied by- their children, made a dramatic appeal, during which many of them wept, and obviously made an' im¬ pression upon members of the Committee, A number of rcstrictibnist members of the Committee made an unsuccessful effort to contradict the women or to show that their marriages were fraudulent. The State Department, represented by A. Dana Hodgson, Chief of the Visa of¬ fice, sought to show that the luisbands or wives had made false statements, and brought to the hearing voluminous con¬ sular aild special New York investiga¬ tion reports. In all cases, however, the wives had satisfactory explanations to offer.
The women complained against the ar¬ bitrary action of American consuls abroad who they said are refusing to grant even preference visas, although .some have waited as long as two years for them. They pointed-out that their hu-sJiaiuls had been promised vi.sas within three or six mouths, and were refused on the pretext that they may become public •charges, ¦
The testimony 'of the women revealed that they, had bank accounts ranging from :}!l,O0p to ^,000, and that they earn salaries of from^25 to ^40 weekly. The State Department, it was disclosed, con¬ ducts special investigations at regular periods to establish the financial situation of the wives and the bonafidi; character of the marriages.
The plea.of the wives wa,s'siipporled by a numher of representatives of non- Jewish organizations, among tliem Laura M. Berrien, of the N'atiotml Association of Women Lawvers; Elizabeth Eastman. National Board Y. M. C. A. and the For- eign Language Information Service; Nellie Hastings of the National League of Women Voters; Abliy Scott Baker, of the Washington National Women's Party, and Sarah Wcadick, of the Na¬ tional Catholic Welfare conference.
John L. Bernstein, of the Hia.s and Congressman Enianuef Celler, also sup¬ ported the women and urged the adoption of Congressman Dickstein's bill. Tm- migratioii Commissioner Hull, who was present, did not commit hiin.sclf on the measure.
Congressman Dickstein also iiitror duced another bill, for which he asked the committee's apiiroval, aiming to prevent the exclusion of husbands, wives, fathers, mothers, sons and daughters of American citizens on the ground of be¬ coming a public charge. The bill pro¬ vides that the relatives shall be required to furnish a maxiniuni bond of $1,000 to guarantee that the alien will not become a imhlic charge within five years after entry.
AiuJther hearing on both measures will bejield next Tuesday when it is iiossible that action may he taken.

The Jewish physician and his non- Jewish brothcrTinrlaw, got into a discus¬ sion of the Thomashcfsky case, the Jew- hh physician siding with Dr. Thomas¬ hcfsky, and his non-Jewish brother-in-law arguing for the non-Jewish girl, who did the shooting. The discussion ended with the brother-in-law shooting the Jewish physician. So there are now two Jewish physicians at the hospital, lying in the patients' wards. Which all goes to prove, that we are all still a little too touchy on the ques¬ tion of, race relations—rin other words, there are still seemingly many pitfalLs to intermarriage. When Stalin Raged , Talking about Russia, and who isn't these days—there is the story told to tne hy Leo Glassman. It seems- that one day, the watchrban guarding Tovarisch Stalin's quarters, heard an uproar within. .Stalin's voice was booming like a cou¬ ple o( cannons. The guard listened and ¦ lie heard Stalin giving someone Hail Co- . Unnbia. ¦ ¦'Vou offspring of a piip" shouted StaIin~"you crook, you insect, you blankety-bfank, blank, blank—you ought to be torn from limb to limb. You should go to the earth. You should catch the cholera. Someone ought to give you a soek in the eye—two sacks on your feet., You should be shot at. sunrise— anyway, not later than noon." So it went on, terrifically, furiously. The guard stood quivering, as Stalin's fury was let loose. The guard's curiosity was aroused. Who was this'that was getting all this abuse? -He peeped through the door. Tliere was nobody bnt Stalin, He en¬ tered. "Tpvarish Stalin" he said, "yon .sure are giving-that man what he de^ seryed. There was no mincing of. words there. But where is the man?" "You idiot" shouted Stalin I at him, "don't you know that every good Rus¬ sian must set aside ten minutes a: day for self-criticisin?"

An eltlcrly wonian stepped from, the crowd, and placing her arm around the boy, asked sympathetically, "What's the matter, my child, are you lost?" The, boy sobbed a moment and then paused. He looked around at the large audience he had assembled. Then lifting his voice, he. shouted, loudly, "Yea, Ma'am,' I'm lost.

The other day, a non-Semitic reporter of the Bronx Home News approached his ros¬ trum with the question, "Why does the bride circle the bridegroom seven times at a Jewish wedding ceremony?** Before the doctor conld answer, his pretty assistant shot forth: "Sore, don't you know, in order zu verdrehen ihr die kopf."

The will, dated December 12, 1931, makes but a sinVle specific bequest—a sum of iiill,nflfl,000 to the Rosenwald Family Association, the certificate of resolution announcing the incorporation of which was filed today with County Recorder Clayton E. Smith. The Rosen¬ wald Family .\sRociation held its first meeting on December 28th,-just nine days before the passing of the Jewish leader and philanthropist. , The entire residue of the estate, the will provides, is to lie divided equally among Mr. Ro.scnwald's five children, Lessing J., and William of Philadelphia, Mrs. Marion R. Stern of Chicago, Mrs. Adele Levy of New York and Mrs. Ed¬ gar.Stern of New Orleans. No provision was made for the widow, Mrs. Adele Goodkind Rosenwald, it was explained, Jje'cause at the time of their (narriage. two years ago, Mr. Rosenwald had settled $1,000,000 on her. Lessing J. Rosenwald and Mrs. Marion R. Stern are named the executors of the estate. The will stipulates that they are not to be re()uired to give bond. The expenditure of the .1iIl,000,00O be¬ quest to the Rcsenwald Family Associa¬ tion is left to the discretion of the chil¬ dren, who are directed, however, to make additional provision for the Museum of Science and Industry, which. Julius Ros¬ enwald endowed with *o,000,000. The sum of the Rosenwald Foundation is to be paid by the estate within a period of two years, the will stipulates. To Continue Philanthropies The continuation of the vast philan¬ thropies which lie conducted was hiT, sured by Julius Rosenwald in the last day.s before his passing in a conference with Ilis children at his bedside, and in his will, it was learned here today. The estate of the Jewish leader and philanthropist will go to his children, it is .virtually assured, and special provi¬ sions are made foi- the continuation of the numerous philanthropic projects which made, his name known throughout the world. Particular emphasis is placed upon the completion of several projects, involving the expenditure of a sum of approxi¬ mately $10,000,000, according to Edwin R. Embreii, president of the Rosenwald Foundation. ' Chief among tbese uncompleted proj¬ ects is the cdlonizatioii of Jews in Soviet Russia, to wliich Mr, Rosenwald pledged $0,000,000, and bf which half remains unpaid, Mr. Rosenwald's last instruc¬ tions provide that the balance be paid by his children. Another ¦ Jewish project which i mained unfilled -was the building df school in New York for the training of Jewish social workers. This too, the children are asked to carry through, A gift of $250,000, to Beirut Univer¬ sity, a Protestant institution in Syria, contingent upon the raising of $5,000,000 by the University, is to be paid at once, according to Mr. Roseriwald's directions. Similarly, the children are requested to carry throngh their father's intention of contributing $750,000 to the building of a women's dormitory at Chicago Univer' sity, in addition to the $750,000 men's dormitory at the same institution. The children of Mr. Rosenwald, late last nionth, prepared to carry on their father's benefactions when 'they formed the Rosenwald Family Association. Their father's will, it is understood, sets aside certain funds to be used by tbis association to carry on the projects which enjoined them to fulfill before he died. The will, it is believed, sets aside an additional sum for the Museum of Sci¬ ence and Industry, which previously re¬ ceived a $5,000,000 endowment, as well as additional funds for the Rosenwald Foundation. Lessing Rosenwald, the eldest son, now a vice-chairman of Sears, Roebuck ami Company, last week succeeded lns> father as char man of the Board: This Sunday morning, Janu¬ ary 24th, at 11 o'clock.

WASHINGTON — A delegation of twenty-five American citizens, the wives of husbands, whom they niarried abroad, appeared before the House Immigration Committee yesterday to aijpeal for the adoption of the bill introduced by Con-' gressman Samuel Dickstein to exempt from the quota husbands of American citizens, regardless of the date of niar- According to tbe present regulation, alien husbands of American citizens, to whom they were married after June 1, lf>28, are entitled only to preference within the quota. Alien wives of Amleri- can citizens, however, arc exempt from the quota, regardless of the date of marr riage. The women, some of whom were ac¬ companied by- their children, made a dramatic appeal, during which many of them wept, and obviously made an' im¬ pression upon members of the Committee, A number of rcstrictibnist members of the Committee made an unsuccessful effort to contradict the women or to show that their marriages were fraudulent. The State Department, represented by A. Dana Hodgson, Chief of the Visa of¬ fice, sought to show that the luisbands or wives had made false statements, and brought to the hearing voluminous con¬ sular aild special New York investiga¬ tion reports. In all cases, however, the wives had satisfactory explanations to offer. The women complained against the ar¬ bitrary action of American consuls abroad who they said are refusing to grant even preference visas, although .some have waited as long as two years for them. They pointed-out that their hu-sJiaiuls had been promised vi.sas within three or six mouths, and were refused on the pretext that they may become public •charges, ¦ The testimony 'of the women revealed that they, had bank accounts ranging from :}!l,O0p to ^,000, and that they earn salaries of from^25 to ^40 weekly. The State Department, it was disclosed, con¬ ducts special investigations at regular periods to establish the financial situation of the wives and the bonafidi; character of the marriages. The plea.of the wives wa,s'siipporled by a numher of representatives of non- Jewish organizations, among tliem Laura M. Berrien, of the N'atiotml Association of Women Lawvers; Elizabeth Eastman. National Board Y. M. C. A. and the For- eign Language Information Service; Nellie Hastings of the National League of Women Voters; Abliy Scott Baker, of the Washington National Women's Party, and Sarah Wcadick, of the Na¬ tional Catholic Welfare conference. John L. Bernstein, of the Hia.s and Congressman Enianuef Celler, also sup¬ ported the women and urged the adoption of Congressman Dickstein's bill. Tm- migratioii Commissioner Hull, who was present, did not commit hiin.sclf on the measure. Congressman Dickstein also iiitror duced another bill, for which he asked the committee's apiiroval, aiming to prevent the exclusion of husbands, wives, fathers, mothers, sons and daughters of American citizens on the ground of be¬ coming a public charge. The bill pro¬ vides that the relatives shall be required to furnish a maxiniuni bond of $1,000 to guarantee that the alien will not become a imhlic charge within five years after entry. AiuJther hearing on both measures will bejield next Tuesday when it is iiossible that action may he taken.
