In New York hospital corri¬ dors nowadays they whisper about tbe Jewish doctor who some time ago invented a new technique for the delicate ma.s- toid operation ... . The operation was such an improvement over the old method that Its fame spread throughout the worid, eventually penetrating even to the depths of Nazlland With the result that one of tbe outstanding Aryan surgeons of the Dark Continent wrote In to the American .lew asking for the details of the new lecbniqne . . . Our .lewish doctor, of course, felt that even Nazis b.nve some claim to hiuTinnitarian con.-^wir ation. and that therefore be couldn't conscientiously with¬ hold this mcillcai Inronnation from them . . .

WASHINGTON (JPS)—Sena¬ tor Burton K. Wheeler, who has had the anti-Semitic label pin ned on him more than once, has issued a new denial. This time be vigorousi.y declares that he never told Beverly Baxter, British M. P., that England is fighting a "Jewish war."
Baxter, just before he depart¬ ed these shores hy Atlantic Clip¬ per, told New York newspaper¬ men that Senator Wheeler, in a private conversation, bad said "Right aci-o.-js America there is a (ieterminniion not lo lie brought into a war of revenge in behalf of .lews"
¦¦When 1 asked tbe Senator to identify the Jews who brought England into war. he was un¬ able to .'^ay." Baxter asserted, "lie ad(ie<i that he had many friends among the Jews and did not approve of German tieat- ment of .lews."
The version given by the Sen¬ ator in Washington was slightl.v different. He east aside the en¬ tire allegation as "just a plain damn lie." According to bis story, Baxter had posed the question in a leading way. He had asked whether the people of America thought England was fighting a Jewish war.
'Wheeler BaW that he had re •piiieiifthat; 8 few people might'
Prt)m that point on, however, the pattern was familiar. "I told Baxter that unfortunately there was a growing anti-Semitic feel' ing in this country," he quoted himself, "and pointed out that I felt this was partly due to the fact that many Jews favored our entrance into the war."
