"DOWN WITH THE JEWS"
A Columnist Sees America Witliout Jews
By WALTER WINCHELL
This article hy America's bcsVknoivn columnist zvas written exclusively for tlic Seven Arts and ils affiliated publications, among zvhich The Ohio Jezvish Chronicle i.i numbered, ai the request of Benjamin De CassercSt ihe one-man zvar machine against Hitler. Reproduction in zvholc or hi part is forbidden.—The Ildiior.'
I am.indebted to various people of the United States for forwarding clippings oi a inost interesting thesis. It originally appeared in a Dayton, Ohio; newspaper, a letter to tbe editor from a , Christian woman, Charlotte Reeve Conover, one of Dayton's outstandiiig citi?:ens. She is a writer and a lecturer and has traveled widely in Europe and in America. She refers to one.Pelley, organizer of another "shirt" racket, who now is out on bail, imlictcd by the government for fraud.   A
few editors have picked up Charlotte ^^jty of "a Jew. Nor can wc undo the Reeve Conover's spcll-bindliig and cans-' gifare work in the Public Health Asso- tic comment, but let's put it in another L-iation of the late Lee Frankcl, of the 100 newspapers.   It follows: I Metropolitan   Life   Insurance   Company.
Joseph Jastrow in psychology must go, too. Charles Steinmetz, ciilled 'The wizard of the electrical world,* was a Jew. Too bad wc can't obliterate all he did, but let that pass. We can destroy the sculpture of Jo Davidson and Jacob Epstein. We can burn the books of Georg Braiidcs, Ludwig Lewisohn, Edna Fcrbcr, Heinrich Heine, as was done in Berlin because they were all Jews.

Cantor M. Newmark
The officers and board of directors ot the Beth Jacob Synagogue, on Donaldson street, wish to announce tbat they have engaged for Rosh Hashonah and Yom Kippur the services of Cantor M, New- mark of Newcastle, ¦ Pa. Cantor New- mark was cantor for six years iu Can¬ ton, Ohio, and' in recent years servcfl in the same capacity in Pittsburgh at the Ahav Zedck Hungarian Congregation, A choir will also assist Cantor New- mark.
"According to a writer in,a recent issue of a inagaziniiT^ Hitlerism is coming to America. We are going to get rid of the Jews. Also, we have a new kind of shirt for our national wardrobe—Sil¬ ver-/ Shirts—the object of which is to exterminate the Jews and all his works from the body politic. All right. Let us keep up with the times. But let us do it scientifically. Let us make a thor¬ ough job of it.   Let us outrHltler Hitler.
"Let us not be satisfied with any half¬ way measures.' Let us not,only'get rid of the. Jew, but wipe from the pages of history all that he has done.. If wc don't do that he may continue to do some of the pernicious things that he has done in the past. Bleeping alwaysi: in mind that we do this because wc, as Gentiles, Nordics and Protestants, and wc alone, have no disagreeable characteristics; are always polite, hlgli-principled, generous, unselfish and clean, We can afford, to throw stones because we have.no per¬ sonal or racial faults. This being con¬ ceded, we must lay .out our program and act with consistency.
"The next time we go to a concert and the program includes 'Midsummer Night's Dream' let us get up and walk out. Mendelssohn was a Jew. ¦ And if the Philadelphia Symphony Orchestra' comes to town, buy no tickets. Stokowski is a Jew, and what do we want with Jewish conductors? That goes, too, for the late David Belasco in the theatre; for-Oscar Hammcrstein in opera; and for Jascba Heifeta, Mischa Einian, Efrem Zimbalist, Fritz Kreisler, violinists. Come to think of it, our cnisade is likely to decimate the orchestra far and wide> since the major part of the personnel is Jewisl:
"Not only would music .suffer, but medicine. The Rockefeller Institute for the Advancement of Sciences would have missed Dr. Solomon Flexner and his wonderful medical discoveries, and the American Journal of Medicine its editor, Dr. Morris Fishbein; but no matter— tbey are all Jews and we must keep our institutions pure, Seligman in Harvard, Dr. Louis Levine in chemistry and Dr.

"We can turn the radio off when Eddie Cantor and Ed Wynn come on the air, for they are both Jews. And, of cour.'?c, if we are traveling and want to send a radio message from a moving train we will not do so hecau.se it was David Sarnoff who invented that instrument, and he is. a Jew! It was Dr. Louis Cohen, a Jew, who banished static from the radio; and Nikola Tcsia, with Fritz Lewenstcin, who Invented the famous wireless switch wave.

"We can't very'well get rid of "the stars in the heavens that Sir William Herschel and Goldschmidt discovered, be¬ cause they seem to be up there to stay, but we can get up some propaganda against Justice Brandeis and Justice Car- dozo and Judah P. Benjamin, of the U. S. Supreme Court, and the eleven other prominent judges throughout the country. We can biirn Max Rosenthal's paintings and Louis Untermyer's poems and Walter Lippman's politics and OC- tnvus Roy Cohen's fun and Waldo Frank's literary criticism.

20,000 Refugees from Ger¬ many Now Permanently Settled
More than twenty thousand refugees from Germany have already-found per¬ manent homes ill other countries, accord¬ ing to a report from Refugee High Com¬ missioner McDonald to the United Jew¬ ish Appeal, In which he states tbat Pales¬ tine is the principal country of their set¬ tlement. Apart .from the thousands who made their way there directly, Commis¬ sioner McDonald reports about 100 a month are .being assisted to emigrate to Palestine from the countries of refuge.
A .survey of the whole refugee situa¬ tion, made by a special committee of the Refugee High Commission, the report states, discloses that of those dependent, on relief organization abroad about 4500 arc fitted for Immediate immigration to various overseas countries."" The cost oE transporting and maintaining them until they could be absorbed in the economic life of their new countries, Mr. McDon¬ ald's report states, would be about £22i),- 000. "That capital sum," he says, "would give the Refugee Commission the means of liquidating the bulk of the present emigration problem. Meantime, how¬ ever, the aid committees in nearly all of the countries bordering on Germany are sorely pressed for funds to enable them to do their absolutely essential work of relief. This must be continued until those refugees who. are not absorbed in the countries where they are, can be emi¬ grated." ¦ ¦

Cantor  Grodner   in   Atlanta During High Holidays
U.  S.   to   Accept   German
Olympic Bid—Untermyer
Urges Jews to Boycott
Games
NEW YORK (WNS)—An appeal to all Jewish athletes In the United States to abstain from competing for places on the ' IV'M'i American Olympic team, has ijccn issued by Samuel Untermycr, presi¬ dent of the Non-Sectarian Anti-Nazi League. Mr, Untermycr based his appeal the ground that since the 19'JG Olym¬ pics arc to be held in Germany,, Jewish athletes would have to accept Nazi hos¬ pitality. At the same time he attacked the action of American Olympic officials moving to accept an invitation to the games as an attempt to cover up race discrimination.
"My advice to fhe athletes and others of world Jewry," he. said, "is not only not to compete but to keep as far away as possible from any form of participation in the Olympic athletic games to be held in Berlin in Ji^^G. Out of decent con¬ sideration for their race, it Is unthinkable that any self-respecting Jew would ac¬ cept the hospitality of a country tbat persists in so insulting, degrading and persecuting pur people. Any man \vith a Jewish ancestor, with a drop of Jewish blood in his veins, who crosses Germany's border or accepts its hospitality. Is de¬ serving only of tbe contempt of his fel¬ low men,- be they Jews or Christians."
Mr. Untermyer's . appeal followed the publication in the Olympic News of an article by Avery Brundage, president of the American Olympic Committee, in which he not only indicated that he would accept the Gerinan bid to the 1036 games but praised the "tolerance" of German youth. ¦ Brimdagc is. now in Germany to make a first hand study of how the Ger¬ mans are keeping their promise to the International Olympic Committee not to discriminate against Jewish" athletes. His article in the Olympic News, written be¬ fore he sailed, indicates that he had made up his mind befoire he left.       "
Brundage's article did not refer di¬ rectly to the Jewish issue but he called on .American athletes to prepai'e them¬ selves for the Olympics and said that "the German committee is making every effort to provide.the finest facilities and plans to reproduce the Los Angeles Olympic Village. Wc should see in the youth at Berlin the forebears of a race of free independent thinkers, accustomed to the democracy of sport; a race dis¬ dainful of.sharp practice, tolerant of the rights of others and practicing the Golden Rule because it believes In it.".
If Mr, Untermyer's plea is heeded by Jewish athletes American prospects in the 1!)3(3 Olympics will suffer. At the 1932 Olympic' Games Jewisli athletes scored 50 of the points amassed. by the United States. Among the leading Jew¬ ish members of the 1032 American Olym¬ pic team were Lillian Copeland (discus throw champion) ; George Roth (Indian club champion); Joseph Levis, fencer; Ben Eastinan, balf-miler; the late George Saling, champion hurdler;' Al Schwartz and George Kojac, swimmers; Nat Bor, boxer; Sol Furth, jumper. Numerous Jewisli athletes are expected to make the li)3fi team, among them Sam Klopstock, hurdler; William Steiner and Harry Werbin, marathon runners; Milton Sand¬ ler and Ed Siegel, sprinters; and those from the 1033 team.  .
Friends of Cantor Solomon Grodner will be glad to know that be has a pul¬ pit In Atlanta, Ga., with Congregation Ahavath Achim for Rosh Hashonah, Yom Kippur and Succoth.
