Panel  Discussion  to  Feature Sisterhood Meeting Tuesday
At the memorable and inspiring con¬ vention which closed in Cleveland last Sunday, Hadassah Chapters all over.thc country pledged themselves unreservedly to take part .in the youth Aliyah—the im¬ migration of German Jewish youth to Palestine, Henrietta Szold has been ac¬ tive in this movement since, its inception, and now her loyal followers have ac¬ cepted it as part of their duty, in addition to their obligations, to the hospitals and health centers in Palestine. '
This is a serious undertaking ¦ and a sacred task, involving many.problems, so¬ cial, phsychological and financial, since it means transporting young,people from thfi confine's of their parental homes to the - semi-independence of a new and' strange country. However, Jewish and non-Jewish authorities the world over agree that this is the only hope for the German Jewish-.youth. . Hadassah has responded nobly to, thc call—and. it is the sacred duty of every J.ewish woman to take part in this m.o- mentous wbrki, even at a sacrifice. Go¬ lumbus Jewish women can do their part by ' becoming patroiis ' of . the Annual Donor Dinner to be held Sundgy evening Dec. IS.at the Neil House.' The officers of Hadassah through its president; Mrs. Roy Stone, and niemhers, of, the Donor Dinner Committee, urge that every woman who is not yet a'pledge, and who wants to do her share in saving . the children'of her people for'the Jews iind for the world—to get in touch immedi¬ ately with any.member of the committee, or the chairman, Mrs. B. W, Abramson.
."Being a Good Neighbor," is the topic for thc panel di.scussion at the meeting next Tuesday, Dec, 10, at 1 ;30 p. m,,nt the B'road St. M. E. Clnirch, corner Ilroad and Cassinghain,' .to. which the. Rose E, Lazarus Sistcrliood has been in¬ vited by the Ladies' 'Auxiliary' of the Church. . ,    ,

Paul Rojbieson; Negro Singer,
Studies Hebrew—To
Visit Palestine
SEATTLE' (WNS).—Paul, Robeson, one b£ the world's most famous singers and the ,son„of a Negro slave, wants to visit Palestine,-he told Nathan Krems, associate editor of the Jewish Tran¬ script. Revealing that he's learning He¬ brew and that^hc already knows an aleph fr'om a beth, Robeson said, "I've already got recordings of Palcstiniaii songs. The Negro spirituaL and the- Hebrew chant have the same plaintive note. ; Both of our peoples have known oppression'and I :feel at home singing ,in, Hebrew."
Iri'the,first intervievir hehas ever given to- a Jewish newspaper in this country, the noted Negro, baritone,. who'Was a. four-ilctter man at Rutgers,..,membcr of. Phi Beta Kappa and selected by; Walter Camp for. his AU-American team, con¬ fessed he "knows discrimination. After- telling Mr. Krems that he's. been.denied admittance to,hotels in New York be¬ cause he's colored, Mr. Robeson, his rich voice filled, with , emojion, sang "Ovinu Malchainu;" . traditional chant of the synagogue, for his interviewer. "See," he said,-"the same deep feeling as our spirituals. In Hebrew, it meanj 'Hear us, O Lord.'", ,' '       '"*   ,
' "The. Negro and .the' Jew have the same .problem," Mr. Robesqn said. ."Per¬ haps that's why r feel sp close to Jews— that, and the fact that in Londbii and New York both,, my best friends are Russian Jews. Jews have helped me on' thc way up; I'm watching the solution of the Jewish problem because J think iny people can take a lesson from the Jewish people iri self-respect and pride in their culture. Instead of being jiroud that he has something'of his own, the Negro in America despises his culture. He doesn't want rne to sing spirituals or talk of .Africa as our homeland.
"You had the same thing in the early days of Zionism. If only we could have the same' self-respect of the real Jew, who is proud of his culture—that'is our problem. How long will America be able to kick 13,000,000 people around like a itubber ball ?" Lyhchings and dis¬ crimination against Negroes in America, he said, are less important to the world than the persecution of Jews by the Nazis. Russia, Robeson declared, is the only place where Negroes and Jews are treated as human beings, without dis¬ crimination. Eyes glowing, he told how he heard "King Lear" in Yiddish in Rus¬ sia.   "Marvelous," he said.

College,'in bciialf of the signatories to¬ gether with a. statement signed by thc educators^ setting forth their condemna¬ tion of Hitlerism- and their reasons for demanding American withdrawal from the games.   The statement declared:
"As American educators concerned widi the.freedom of the human intellect and the, progress of society, We address ourselves to the Amcricah Olympic Com- niittce and the Amateur Athletic Union to register our view that the American team should be withdrawn from paijtici- patlon in thc ,01ympic Games if held in Nazi Germany. It is our considered Judgment, based upon the. record of events which have, transpired in Germany for the past two and a half years, that the ifiequities and discrimination practiced:' ^gainst Jews, CatlioHcs,,/Protestants, la¬ bor, Masons and all independents, ire perpetuated in the field of sports and in the Olympic Games. We ,believe further that these games arc-beiirg used by-Nazi Germany as an instrument for the propa¬ gation of her idcal-s which represent, the,. destruction of democratic and. progressive . ,society. Because the Olympic Games are iJedlcatcd to the advancement of inter¬ racial comity and the high standards of sportsmanship, and because the Nazi re¬ gime is responsible for the enlsayement of races and the destftictian of all stand¬ ards of fair play, we believe that Amerl^ cans should refuse .to take part in the ¦ Games, and that such refusal will serve to elevate and; preserve sport and the sporting-sjjirit."    ."
