Tells Editor All Alrout His Elimi¬ nation from Olympic Team
By BERNARD POSTLE
Mnnhglntr  Editor of Seven AtIs Feature Syndicate
NEW YORK ,;(WNS)—"It was politics, not prejudice; favoritism, not anti-Semitism; coaches' intrigues, not discrimination; that" prevented me from running in the Olympic Games."
The speaker was Sam Stoller, slight, pallid, dark-haired and soft-spoken Jewish sprinter' from Cincinnati, who together with Marty Gh'ckman of New York was dropped from the American 400-meter relay in a last minute shift. The place was his cabin aboard,the S. S. President Roosevelt, as the steamer carrying the first contingent of the returning American Olympians steamed up the North River. While most of the other athletic. represcn-, tatives of Uncle Sara crowded the docks to pose for pictures, to give vent to their, bitter criticism of Olympic ,Committee officials and to voice glee at being back in a white tnan's coun¬ try. Stoller sat alone in his cabin, shunning interviewers and trying to forget his disappointment and ease -his Jicart-brfeafc by readine letters from his fiancee received at, Quarantine,
Not given to talking, Stoller was reluctant to discuss the sensational in¬ cident of August Bth at Berlin. It was apparent that he viras still crushed by the unexpected blow to his ambi¬ tion: When I entered his cabin h-; greeted mc quietly, seemingly deter¬ mined to make the interview as brief as possible. At first we talked about the Olympic Games' in; general. 1 didn't Avant .to make his obvious anguish any more ipainful. After chat¬ ting for a few minutes about his ex-^ periences in Berlin and his record as a runner, I said to him quite frankly ,"Tell me, Sam, do you believe , you and (Hickman were barred from the 400-nieter rela/ because you were JewsF I vvpuld like a: plain;.answer. Tliierc have been all sorts pf ugly rumors about what happened. You're the only one who:can Jangwer them."
He sat back and ;looked thoughtful fpr a few moments.' I could see he was fighting not tp answer and yet he wanted to tell the whole story of the incident that had broken his htart. But as a good sportsman -he wasv torn betweein a desire to unburden himself and the desire not to be considered a martyr. Finally, he beg^n to talk, half inaudibly, but; rapidly.
"I was given a raw deal," he said. "Until an hour before the race I was assured that I would run/ On the way over Glickman, Mack Robinson, Foy Draper and I practiced as a unit. In the Olympic Village, L^wson Rob¬ ertson, head track coach, congratuJated me on my baton passing. But neither Robertson nor Cromwell, his assistant, had decided on,the makeup of the team. .Theywere waiting,to see how the Americans vvould do in the 100 and 220-meter runs. When Owens won those events, Robertson an¬ nounced time trials for the relay with Glickman, Draper and myself running. I won in 10.4. Glickman was second and Draper a had third. Right after that Robertson told me he would have to break the news gently (0 Draper because he had decided Foy would not run. And Robertson congratulated me on my time trial. It was about this time that Draper suggested we ought to have an all-white relay. Ralph Metcalfe, the colored boy from ]^)arquette, was set for the relay.
"On Thursday, two days before the race, Robertson asked my advice on who should be oh the team. I told him that was a matter for the coaches to decide. On Friday the team had not yet been selected. All sorts of rumors were floating around. Glick¬ man, Draper, Wyckoff, Metcalfe, Rob¬ inson and I were still practicing. But everyone told mei I was sure to run. That same day Owens assured me 1 ha:d nothing to worry about because he had just talked to Robertson and had been told the relay would consist of Owens, Metcalfe, Wyckoff and my¬ self.
"Saturday morning il^bbertson called a meeting of all the sprinters—Owens, Metcalfe, Robinson, Draper, Glickman, Wyckoff and myself. Then he an¬ nounced that the (cam to run would be. Owehs, Metcalfe, Draper and Wyckoff. I sat there stuiined, speech¬ less and bewildered., I didn't know what happened. Even when Robert¬ son asked if anyone had anything to say I was so flabbergasted I couldn't -    (^Continued on page 2) '

20th Week of Disorders Opens With
Death of 78tihi Jew; Arabs Summon
Parley To End Terror
Father  Coughlin's  Organ
Makes Veiled Threat
Against Jews
CHICAGO (WNS)—A thinly veiled threat that Father Coughlin's National Union for Social Justice "wilLnot sit idly by" if the "lower strata of Jews" continue their " sidious propaganda" to "the detriment of the better class of Jews, who out¬ number the former"~"propaganda' to the effect that "Christians are the only malefactors and that only Jews are .hallowed with sartctity"—:was made in the cut-rent issue of Social Justice, the radio priest's weekly or gap. Ostensibly replying to. attacks on.Father Coughlin; because of his re¬ cent .anti-Semitic utterance at the Cleveland convention of his followers. Social'Justice denies the charge of the Detroit Jewish Chronicle that the priest cited only Jewish names in his attacks on the "money-changers'' and emphasizes that he has also singled out "prptninent Gentiles, both; Catho¬ lic and Protestant", ampng them the Rockefellers, Morgans.' and the Bon-' brights;
"Neither he nor the National Union will consent to any program, political or otherwise, launched against any race or creed," the publication says. Referring to the, Jewish question, the Coughlin organ declares it "was cre¬ ated by Christians who had forgotten to practice the first principles of Christianity. There would be no Jew¬ ish question in the United States if certain timid Hebrews would cease searching for the burglar under the bed and if certain other citizens of the Jewish race ., wrere couragedus enough to condemn publicly the un¬ social Jew, together with the unsocial Christian, both of whom have. ex¬ ploited tiie. poor Jew-, and the poor Christian throughout civilization...Is it to be intimated., .that Father Coughlin must content himself with singling out Christians? Is it to be inferred that (Christians are the only malefactors and that only Jews aire liallowed with sanctity? This search under the bed...is more respdnsible for the antipathy against the Jews in this nation than all pther ciirrent forces combined...
¦ "If a repetition of such insidious propaganda is persisted in by, the lower strata of Jews, to the detriment of the better class of Jews, who out¬ number the former, rest assured that the National Union for Social Justice
...will not sit idly by. We do not plain to assail pnly Rexford Tug\yell and the (lentile radicals who dabble in Communism and international hank¬ ing. We also plan.to strike hard and fearlessly at Frankfurter, Ezekiet and the Jewish international bankers, by name and deed, whether the Detroit Jewish Chronicle likes it or not." The article also notes that "many Jews" have contributed to Father Coughlin's radio talks and "have written" to him apologetically" for the hitemperate ac¬ cusations made by fellow citizens of their own race.
JERUSALEM (WNS-Palcor Agency)—The 20th week of violence in Palestine as part of an Arab cam¬ paign to halt Jewish immigration was ushered in with the fatal shooting of the 78th^ Jewish victim of Arab at¬ tacks, the wounding of two other Jews, the'uprooting of 12,000. trees in one Jewish colorty, and an organized attack by 100 Arabs pn another Jew¬ ish colony, which suffered no casual¬ ties. The latest fatality is Joseph Afner, a Sharon Valley bus driver who.was caught in a fusillade of shots froni both sides of the, road as he drove past Sarona, a German colony near Tel Aviv. Thc bullets grazed a passenger who was with Afner, who was killed instantly.
The tree destruction occurred at Ness Ziona, where 25 dunams (about six acres) of 4rees were uprooted by Arab vandals. The Jewish settlement of: Mcnehemia in lower Galilee was subjected to a violent attack' during the night by an organized Arab band' said to have numbered IpO, which sur¬ rounded the colony from all sides and kept up a bdmbardment of bullets that continued for. a half hour. The col¬ ony was protected by ,,a handful of Jewish Ghaffirs and watchmen who held, the attackers at bay until, a Transjordan frontier military patrol arrived. Joining forces, the defenders routed the assailants, who were be¬ lieved to have Suffered a number; of casualties. ..
With virtually a.division of British troops already stationed in Palestine to cope with the current disorders, the defense forces were increased when a battalion of Scottish borders arrived at'Haifa harbor from Maltal An in¬ dication that the battalions , already here expect a long stay was seen in the fact that the same boat brought the wives and children of the officers who arrived here previously. The troops now guarding the, country in¬ clude, in addition to the permanent two infantry battalions comprising the North Lancashire Uoyal Regiment and the second battalion of the Queen*; Own Cameron Highlanders, the 8th King's Royal ;Irish Hussars, the llth Prince. Albert's' Own Hussars, the cavalry and, mechanized troops of the Trans-Jordan frontier force and the additional battalions of infantry brought here from Egypt, including the ' B'edfordghire and Hertfordshire Regiment, Pbrsetshii'e, Regiment, Sea- forth Highlanders, Lincolnshire Regi¬ ment and South Wales Borderers. ThC: latter two battalions liad been brought here previously from. Malta. In addition to these there are the squadrons of the Royal Air Force in Palestine and Transjordan.

posals for the termination of the gen¬ eral strike and the accompanying cam¬ paign of terror was decided upon by the Arab Higher Committee as thc best method pf determining the Arab attitude toward ending the present . deadlock- The Arab Higher Commit- tec is asking the Palestine government to permit such a conference in Jeru¬ salem where the,principal topic of dis¬ cussion will be the proposals submit¬ ted by Nuri Pasha Said, Iraqi foreign minister, after ncgotiatJohs with the Palestine High Commissioner.
That negotiations for the settlement of the Palestine disorders have been conducted; not only by the Arabs of, Palestine biit by representatives of alt the Arab rulers and princes in the . surrounding countries is revealed in a proclamation issued by the Arab Higher Committee -summoning the conference. The proclamation, issued td ."the noble Arab people," declares, "The nation will continue the general strike with the same diligence and faith for which it is well known, with head iiigh ^and faith strong." Thc manifesto was signed by Haj Ainin El Hussoini, mufti- of Jerusalem and chairman, of the Arab Higher Com¬ mittee., "The parleys of the.past few days," the communication continues, "between the committee and Nuri Pasha Said, foreign minister of Iraq, have proceeded in a quiet atmosphere marked by faith'and frankness culmi¬ nating in complete mutual understand¬ ing. AH aspects of the Palestine question are being considered," it; is added, "and there is a calni and con¬ fident willinghessfor mediation on the part of the Iraqi people and tlie Arab kings and princes in the relation^ be^ tween the Arab Higher Committee and the Palestine government. Nuri Pasha Said is therefore conducting the official negotiations required; We await the outcome witK hop?, an out¬ come which will preserve for this hon¬ ored people its foundations, endow its ¦ rights and bring it to its desired goal with God's help," the proclamation , concludes.
'': Two British soldiers were, killed and three .were injured, bringing the toll of dead among the British de¬ fense forces to 10 at the close of the nineteenth week of disorders, when a patrol near Mt. Tabor was set upon by an Arab band; The headquarters here of the Jewish A;gency for Palesr ¦ tine, were the target of an Arab at¬ tack with the assailants being repulsed by the return fire of Jewish watchmen guarding, the building.
biie pf the Jewish guards was shot at, as he was on midnight: duty, from a nearby Moslem cemetery but was unhurt. The other guards then joihed for a search ,of the cemetery area but the attackers had fled.
