Gerald L. K. Smith Wants Reynolds For President
VOr SHOULD KNOW . .
dS Here's a revealing quotation ¦from John Roy CarlRon's-"Un¬ der Cover" which explains much about the anti-Semitic cli.sorders in Boston . . . Francl.-i p. jMoran fuehrer   of  the   New   England Christian Front, gave thl.q advice to Carlson: "The only thing ynu can do now, of course, is to talk about Cominuni.sm and the ,Iews ... You can't touch the war    . A whispering  campaign   is  the best thing now . . . They'd have a hell of a time tracing it . . . Mrs.   Murphy tells  Mrs.   Duffy, and she tells Mrs. O'Tooie, who tells It to Mrs.  Smith.  .  .  Yes, these women can certainly dish it out, and by the time they end up they've got something whlc-H everybody believes . . . It's the safest thing to work nowadays. . The movement has  friends all over the city — a lot of people here think the way I do" ... A new smear  campaign   is  being prepared    against    the    Jewish movie moguls of Hollywood , . . This time the Issue will be "pro- Communist propaganda" .   . The main targets will be the Warner Brothers and Samuel Ooldwyn— all  of whom.  Incidentally,  are fanatically anti-Communists . . . The   "evidence"   against   them will be their production of films about Russia that don't knock ¦QurSovlet allies .... ;iUHWlBa',NJE.WSt,.^.,!.-Ji-. -'A'^-c,,. In The    iibiltrpveray   between Pavid ben Gurlon, Palestine lab¬ or leader, and .Dr. Chaim Weiz¬ mann is assuming alarming pro¬ portions . .      Ben    Gurlon    is standing pat on his ultimatum: Weizmann or I . , . The Poale Zionists In this country are, how¬ ever, hesitating to give him their support. . . They are afraid of a break In the Zionist ranks .— a break that would seriously affect their fund-raising activities . . . And so tremendous pressure Is being exercised on Ben Gurlon by many of his party comrades, asking   him   to   reconsider   his resignation as chairman of the Zionist Executive . .    But in the meanwhile    Ben    Gurlon Is re¬ maining adamant .... A date to watch out for is December 20lh ... On that day headlines will appear throughout the country on a matter of great signilicance to Jews Interested in Palestine .    . Contrary to all expectations, tlie   Jewtih   Labor   Committee will not resign from the Amer¬ ican   Jewish   Conference   .   . Negotiations   with   the   Brllisli government  anent   the   abroga tion of the White Paper are at a standstill . . . THIS AND THAT .. . Pa Broadway's    Lee    Straslierg, we hear, is about lo desert the famed street for Hollywood, to become a movie director . . . We congratulate    Hollywood,    but hope he doesn't stay away from the theatre too long .  . .  Moss Hart's Air Force Show, "Wingetl Victory",   has   had     Its     out-of- town opening, and is being ac¬ claimed  as  a  maslorpiece   .   .   . Particular  mention  is given  to the sets, which are the work of Sergeant   Harry   Horner   .   .   . Horner, If you remember, came to this country only a few years ago as a member of the entour¬ age of. the late Max Relnhardt, who discovered him in Vienna . . On his deathbed, by  the way, Relnhardt expressed a desire to be burled in Palestine . . . Meyer (Continued on Page 8)
