fe Aftermath  of  the  American Jewish   Conferetice:   There's   a possibility of the Conference re^ convening within the next few months, probably In the city of Chicago . . . Clamor will not die as to why the Conference didn't take  up  the  problems  of anti- Semitism In this country . '.  . You may not have known It, In¬ cidentally, but there was a strong group which wanted the Confer¬ ence completely dissolved after this first conclave ... Queen "Wll¬ helmlna of the Netherlands, who celebrated  her    birthday    very quietly in exile a couple of weeks ago  hopes to mark the occasion In her traditional manner next summer . . . The traditional man¬ ner Includes, In addition to any number   of   official   receptions and other functions, a personal visit by her Majesty to the Jo- den Breetstraat (Main Street of the Jews) and other parts of the Amsterdam Jewish ciuarter.   .    . YOU SHOULD KNOW . . Sg Did you know that Otto Lil- ienthal, the German Jewish glid¬ er expert of the nineteenth cen¬ tury, had also designed a. regu¬ lar   motor-driven   airplane,   but was killed in a glider, crash the other day before he was to have made   his   first   flight   in   that plane?  . . .

Mlsselff, the famous   bridge-bulkier,    worked his way through  the Columbia School ot Mines hy writing ar tides for the Yiddish pres.s, ancl in the course of this work Inlro- duced   to   the   Yiddish-reading masses     the  writings  of  Walt Whitman and Henrlk Ib.scn?

N. Y. POST URGES CONGRESS TO ADMIT JEWISH REFUGEES
Lt. TopoJosky wm Relate Experiences In Battle At Attu
NB'W YORK (JPS)—Hailing the step taken by the National Democratic Club and the. Nation¬ al Republican Club In urging Congress "to amend our Immi¬ gration legislation so as to per¬ mit the free entry Into thI.s coun¬ try of any person who Is the vic¬ tim of religious persecution by the Axis", the New York Post editorially declares that "this simple act of humanity and just- Ice should be'listed among the first order of business".
In order fo enable the refugees to e.'scape to the United States, the Post suggests: "Congress can lend the weight or its authority to a program for enlisting neu¬ tral nations and international or¬ ganizations like the Red Cross to aid In getting the Nazi vic¬ tims out of Germany and the satellite countries.
"And It can pa.ss a joint reso¬ lution that American ships carry¬ ing men and cargo into, say, the Mediterranian — now an Anglo- American lake — must not re¬ turn In ballast while men and women in flight from religious persecution wait at the docks for transportation . , .
"These are actions which should be high pp on the Con¬ gressional calendar. And with them.Bhould be^otlon to put the, .'wej'|ht''.oi;,theSeti9te/helilriWrtlw. message of tw6 6f Its distinguish^ ed members —Sen. Wagner, a Pemocrat, and Sen. McNary, a Republican — to the Zionist Or¬ ganization of America canfer- ence at Columbus   Ohio.
"Palestine should be complete¬ ly opened now to provide a ref¬ uge for Jews escaping the Nazi doom, 'and It should be made a national home for millions of Jews after the war with tho sympathetic help of the United Nations', say the Senators.
"We agree. And the first ancl Immediate necessary step is to prevail upon the British Govern¬ ment to rescind Its White Paper of 19.'19 restricting Jewish imnil- grtition into Palestine.
"It is a relic of the clays when Ilrltain was in the mood of ap¬ peasement, before she found her .soul again under fire: when Arab zealots ancl others could exercise Influence to the point of  blackmail.
"The' Senate of the United States is a mighty influence in foreign affairs by virtue ot Its constitutional powers over treat¬ ies.
"Let it speak now in behalf of a decent democratic world. Let It speak In behalf of the 4,000,000 still alive".
Dr. Harry Topolosky. 1st Lieu¬ tenant, In the Medical Corps of United States Army, who was wounded In action at Attu, now convalescmg at Fletcher General Hospital, Cambridge, 0.. will h-? the principal' speaker at the first meeting of the Fall sea.son for Zion Lodge, B'nal B'rith, next Tuesday, Sept. 21st. at 8 P.

According to Bernard Feitling¬ er, president of Zion Lodge, the meetings of B'nal B'rith will take place on the first and third Tues¬ day of each month. This was done to avoid conflict with late closing of stores on Monday nights and also to avoid con¬ flict with other orgtmlzations which may have the second and fourth Tue.sday.s' as their regu¬ lar meetings.
Secretary Sam Topolosky an¬ nounced this week that more than MO Zion Lodge members are in the armed forces of tho U. S. in all parts of Ihe world.

The leaders of the Unllecl Na¬ tions wore urged "to initiate, without further delay, discuss¬ ions with tho .lowish Agency for Palestine" to detormine Pales¬ tine's role "in mooting the des¬ perate needs of the dispossessed, masses of the .lewish people" and "to secure the .lewish Common¬ wealth's rightful place in a po.st- war world", in ccnc of tho major al White Paper of Ut'!!)" con- c-lucling sessions of the 'Ifllh an¬ nual convention of tho Zicmist Oragnization of America held here at the Deshler-Wallick Ho¬ tel.
