United States May Demand Nazis Pub¬ lish Charges and Evidence Against Hirsch
WASHINGTON, D. C (WNS)— High government circlea here believe there is. a great likelihood that the United States will instruct its am¬ bassador in Berlin, VViUiam E. Dodd, td undertake a thorough inauiry into the,arrest, trial, conviction and execur tion of 21-year-old Helmuth Hirsch, the American Jew who iv^as beheaded in Berlin after his conviction oh , a charge of having allegedly planned to as.sassiiiate a' high: JJazi oflicial by dynamite. Officials of the State De- partme^it said that Secretary of State Hull would undoubtedly: empower Ambassador Dodd to. renew his efforts to obtain .a copy of the charges against Hirsch, who died despite the last minute efforts of the American em¬ bassy to get him reprieved, At no time were American officials permitted .to' knowV:tIie' exact., nature of the charges against .Hirsch.
PRAGUE (WNS)-A nine-point memorandum which proves that Hel¬ muth Hirsch was thc victim of a Nazi frameux> has been prepared here by his friends. His friends also insist that Plirsch's last letter to his irar- cuts, written, a few hours before his death and which has been received here, was not written of his own voli¬ tion. This letter says, among other things, that his fate was due to "per¬ sons who exploited mc in a thought¬ ful, irresponsible manner/' and that although he mistrusted those persons tm permitted himself to be misled. His friends further claim that the fact that Hirsch's body was cremated without his family's permission was due to the Nazis' desire to destroy the evi¬ dence of his 'having been brutally" beaten during thc months he spent in
prison.
Thu nine-point memorandum points out that: 1—Hirsch entered Germany on a passport visaed by German con¬ sular authorities in Prague who would not have permitted him to leave Czechoslovakia if they suspected him of planning thc death of a Nazi leader; 2~Hirsch, who ¦ iled from Germany when thc Nazis came to power, could not have returned to the Reich if .the Nazi secret police were not interested ,in getting him there; ;i—His visa identified him as "a state¬ less Jew," hence he could not have obtained the visa unless there were persons who wanted him to get it; 4—When the German customs au¬ thorities examined his baggage at the Czech-German border^ they found no dynamite hut on his arrest in Stttttgart dynamite was allcRedly found in his belongings, indicating it was planted on him; 5—It wduld have been inSane for anyone plotting an assassination by dynamite to cari-y it ^vith him while crossing the border; (i—Hirsch was a known opponent of terrorism, having publicly criticised David Frankfurter, slayer of Wilhelm Gustloff, Swiss Nazi leader; 7—Hirsch was not a member of any political group; fi— Hirsch was arrested w:ith two other men, one of whom was executed" thc same day thc Jew died; but the third, whose name was never made public, was secretly freed; !);—A so-called Communist ccccntly appeared in Paris and publicly buastetl that he and Hirsch belonged to a secret anti-Nazi terrorist group which planned to kill high Nazi oflicials, a boast which would he incredible on the part of a Commuhist unless hc were a Nazi agent provacateur.

KNOXVILLE, TENN. (WNS)— An open appeal to racial prejudice was made by Albert Gossert, personal representative of George L. Googe, Southern representative ot the Amer¬ ican Federation of' Labor, in an ad¬ dress at a rally called to organize war against the Committee for Industrial Organijiation. Speaking at an A. F. of L. organizing meeting in Market Hall, Gossert said "we of the A. F. ot L. in the South arc not going to pull any punches in the fight against the C. I. O. led by the Dubinskys, all the other 'skys' and Jewboys and John L. Lewis."      '
JUST A REMINDER ThU b the Chronicled l«th year of continued terrice to Colomlma Jewry.    Pleue pay your luftBcrlp- tion now.
At tiic last board meeting of thc Columbus Hebrew School Rabbi M. Hirschsprung withdrew, as chairman of it.<; Board of lilducation, au ofhcc which he held during 1930-1937 with a most plau.siblc record of efficiency and alacrity of service. As reason for his withdrawal* thc Rabbi stated with re¬ gret that his multifarious duties as rabbi of Agudath Achim congregation conflict too often with his Hebrew School activities, which are housed in a building not adjacent to his con¬ gregation. Particularly is this true during the whiter semester, when the time schedule of the Hebrew Schdol concurs with that of the Mincha- Maariv services of his congregation.
Th ail informal conversation, which the new Hebrew School administra¬ tion had with l{;ihbi Hirschsprung, an effort was made to prevail on him to accept the office for another term. But the Rabbi insisted that he be released of the responsibility of chairmanship, assuring the new board, however, that he will continue unstintingly to render coiistructive advice and to utilize his many years of experience in the He¬ brew teaching held in other cities for the bcMefit of thc Cohimbus Hebrew School.
During his term of office. Rabbi Hirschsprung has" introduced many in¬ novations in the Hebrew School that placed it on quite a high standard. He made a drastic change,in the fac¬ ulty membership a year ago when the school faced a critical situation in this respect; he laid down a code of ethical standards for teachers; he helped the teachers in rearranging classes, met with the faculty quite often, intro¬ duced periodic tests and examinations, and, as a fitting crowning point, ar¬ ranged for the most impressive com-1 mencement exercises held recently! before the largest Jewish public ever gathered at a local Hebrew' School affair.
The new chairman of the education committee is A. W. Robins, with Leon! Seff, Bert Wolman. and all the local rabbis as members of the committee.
N. S; ANTI-NAZI LEAGUE
PRESENTS EVIDENCE
OF LAW EVASION
Urges   Congressional   Action   for
Strict Control «f roreign
Mcrclinndise
Memhers of thn Ways and Means Committee of the House of Repre¬ sentatives have reccive<l from the Non-Sectarian Anti-Nazi Jjjague (Samuel Untcrmjrcr, president) star¬ tling evidence proving that importers and merchants of commodities made in Nazi Germany liavc been conceal¬ ing and oblitcratin;^ thc "Made in Germany" markings in order to tlefeat the anti-Nazi boycott.
The evidence was presented to the House Coinmittee in Washington dur¬ ing hearings on the new Customs Ad¬ ministrative Bill by Mitchell Salem Fisher, chairman oi tlie Hague's Le¬ gal Committee, who disclosed nation¬ wide violations of our federal laws governing thc markings of origin on all imported merchandise.
Mr.. Fisher who appeared before the committee On behalf ot Samuel Unter¬ myer submitted many articles acquired by the league which revealed the meth¬ ods employed by inariuf<tcturers, mer¬ chants and importers to conceal or obliterate the "Made hi Germany" marking:
Clocks which are made in Germany, excepting their backs wliich arc made iu Switzerland, .-are sold in. America as ot Swiss manufacture. "Made in Germany" stamps on the backs of mirrors are concealed by felt cover¬ ings. "Made in Germany" labels arc attached to cement bags, furs, textiles and similar goods in such a manner that they, can be-easily removed with¬ out di:str9yin8U.'?''--'ia'nimg the goods. These arc but a few of the various subterfuges in use.
One important piece ot evidence presented to the committee was a copy of a letter sent out by a German firm in Stuttgart, Germany, dealing with the fjuestion ot exports between Ger¬ many and the United Statea. The letter tells how the articles manufac¬ tured by the Stuttgart firm "will be refinished in Belgium so that they will come to the United States with the iliark "Made in Belginm."
Before presenting an amendment prepared by the League's Legal' Com¬ mittee to the new Customs Adminis¬ trative Bill, Mr. Fisher stated tliat as a 'result of thc I.eaguc's work, tour major deficiencies have been found it our present law.
"First," he said, "there is a com¬ plete administrative lack of enforce¬ ment of the provision ot the present act that the markings should be con¬ spicuous.
'ISccondly, the German manufac¬ turers and importers finding them¬ selves faced with the situation that thc 'Made in Germany'-niark was not a good mark commercially, have been sending their articles to Holland, Czechoslovakia and Belgium in which they would subject the, articles to some minor form- of processing and .'Lend them out with the marking ot these other countries.

An Open Letter Concern¬ ing; the Relief Crisis In Ohio
New Cemetery of Agudath
Achim Will Be Dedicated
Sunday, July 11
From present indications a large turnout will witness the formal dedi¬ cation ceremonies of the new Agudath Achim cemetery Sunday afternoon, July n, at a o'clodc. According to Jewish tradition, this has always been an awe-inspiring ceremony, recalling tb Israel the memory of all its il¬ lustrious leaders and teachers .of by¬ gone days. In conformity with this hallowed custom. Rabbi Mordecai Hirschsprung has prepared a special ritualin line with the rules laid down by Rabbinic authorities of past gen¬ erations.
Part of the ceremony will be the chanting of appropriate psalms and hymns by Cantor Gellman and an ad¬ dress by an outstanding out-of-town rabbi whose name will be announced iri a forthcoming issue ot the Chron¬ icle. The entire community as well as the Jewish communities of iieighbor- iiig towns are most cordially invited to al(end this solemn event. Special invitations are being majled to all lo¬ cal Jewish organi^tations.
To thc Jewish Public:
Cincinnati is facing a desperate crisis.
Over seven thousand families, con¬ taining '2.5,000 individuals too young or too old'or too ill to work, will soon be without mean,^ of subsistence. Tht Ohio legislature lias stopped provid¬ ing. The law forbids the counties to provide. Certain siiecial funds, just allocated after a cruel stinting and scrimping of other needful services, will .be .exhausted before thc third week in July.
It is true that some of the recipients of relief have been guilty of'"chisel¬ ing." With thousands of cases to watch, lapses and oversights have been unavoidable. But the number of im- posters has hecn trivial. Not ten per cent of those on relief have been people able to perform work of any type. In several instances, proffered employment has been declined because the wage offered was below subsist¬ ence. Can we justly expect people to work for a wage too small to keep them alive? ¦ lEven if some cheating has occurred, shall thousands perish for tht dishonesty of the few?
Private charity cannot take care of those 23,000. Thi cost of the tiniest pittance tor each would be J160,00O a month, or $1,800,000 per year. This is the total the Cincinnati Community Chest raised in thc recent campaign. Helping those 2r),000 with Community Chest funds would require thc closing of every benevolence supported.by the Chest.   To quote a recent statement:
"Certainly no one would suggest that.dependent children be turned out of thc child-caring institutions , and Agencies,, nor .that the -sick, the aged, ahd the 'incurable be turned to thc mercy of the streets, nor fhat agencies for the building of chara(:ter of' the youth of the community be closed, nor famihes now aided by private charity be denied assistance in order that relief might be provided for a few weeks or' months to' those who have heretofore been cared for through.the County Welfare Depart¬ ment. It. would obviously be unwise to create a greater and more disastrous crisis' by wrecking regular programs of social service, for the whole com¬ munity ' iil the effort to shift the re¬ sponsibility for public relief td .the shoulders of thc Community Chest contributors."
Here is an emergency which con¬ cerns Jew, Catholic, and Protestant alike. It is one's religious duty to do somctiiing about it, whatever religion one professes.
Write to the goysnior and to some liiember of thc legislature asking that the state resume relief, or permit the counties, to provide relief.
Still better, write' to several mem¬ bers of the legislature. By, calling this ofTice, you can learn the names ot your representatives and of the mem¬ bers of the House Committee on Re¬ lief Legislation and ot the Senate Committee.
Still better, call on one or more of your representatives in Columbus or at home.
Still better; supplement your action by inducing others to t.i,ke similar action. Get your synagogue and your lodge to act.
Let every Jew hasten to th.e aid, of our suffering fellow citizens.

Untermyer Proud He's Jew As He Marks 79th Birthday
YONKERS, N. Y. (WNS)-'Tm proud to be an intense Jew," said Samuel Untermyer, leader ot the anti* Nazi boycott and a veteran of two generations of legal and civic battles, in an interview on the occasion of his 79th birthday. Mr. Unterniyer's birth¬ day is in March but it is celebrated in June because hc is generally in California or Florida on his natal day. Preparing to leave for a tour-week European trip on July 34, Mr. Unter¬ myer declared "our race has suffered I and has been cruslted innumerable times, and it is almost unbelievable that such things can repeat themselves today in a coimtry Jike Germany. Hit¬ ler has to b« destroyed, and the only way it can be done is by economic pressure. It the boycott is effective, he will be put out of business."
OVER $37,000 IS PLEDGED AT INITIAL MEETING

At Deshler-Wallick Hotel Prelude United
Jewish Fund Drive, June 10 to 25th
LAST Thursday night Columbus .Jewry officially opened its annual United Jewiah Fund Campaign at the Winding Hollow Country Club. The dinner meeting, which was at¬ tended by some 93 men of the special gifts committees, was conspicuous by the absence of music, flying banners, and shaip and imperative orders. However, action was aplenty immediately following the stirring messages of Simon Lazarus, E. J. Schanfarber and Fred Laztirus, Jr. Campaign pledges almost reached the $37,000 mark toward the $50,000 goal set for this year.
wlioijc economic and social position has become a very precarious one, in making available a measure of relict and types of reconstructive aid serv¬ ice for Jews not only in Poland and in Germany but for thoso who are be¬ ing faced with a dire situation in Rou¬ mania, Latvia, Lithuania and other countries of Eastern and Central Europe.
United Palestine Appeal
The funds that are required for the program of activities of the United Palestine Appeal will be used for set¬ tling Jews from various countries on the soil and in the various trades in Palestine, and for providing a great number of Jews from Germany, Po¬ land and other countries with a haven of refuge hi Palestine.
The United Jewish tund of Colum-' bus, point 'out the chairmen ot. the local drive, is raising money in part to aid the .various .organizations, .op¬ erating in Palestine to maintain their educational enterprises, stimulate im- .migration and colonization, maintain their medical activities, increase their urban and industrial work foi-the bet¬ terment of tliose who are in Palestine and for those who will be migrating there, and for undertaking other proj¬ ects designed to improve and advance, its general economic and cultural de¬ velopment.
In addition to those major funds, . retiuired for the programs of activities of the J. D. C. and thc U. P. A., other sums are being sought by the United Jewi.";h Fund for national Jew¬ ish causes, many of which arc most important to our people in America. They arc:
B'nai B'rith Wider Scope Anti- Dcfanintion Lengue, Hillel Foniida- tioiis, Jewish . Orphan Home CClcvdnnd), National Jewish Hos¬ pital (Denver), Lea N. Levi Memo¬ rial Hospital (Hot Springs), Jew¬ ish. Consumptive Relief Aas'n and Ex-Paticnts Hospital (California), American Jewish Committee, Edu¬ cational I,caguo,< (Cleveland), He¬ brew Ihimiptration Aid Society, Jewish Welfare Board, National Council of Jewish Federations and Welfare Funds, Bureau of Jewish Social Research,: Ort Reconstruc¬ tion Fund.
Intercollegiate Menorah, Loan Fund (Superannuated Rabbia)^ Na¬ tional Conference of Jews and Christians, Jewish Chautauqua So¬ ciety, Jewish Braillei Institute, Ex- I'aticnta Home (Denver), Jewish Statistical Bureau, National Ass'n for Jewish Blind, National Home for . Jewish Children (Denver), Jewish Telegraphic Agency, He. brew University, Jowiah National Fund, Palestine Light House.
Thc Ohio-Jewish Chronicle appeals to every .self-respecting Jew'bt this community fo join with this humani- tatriari effort to the United Jewish Fund. In view of increased needs, it asks everyone to give liberally of his time, his energy, his iiitei:est and of his generosity. Give in thc name of Jewish unity here in Columlius, here in America. Give in the name of Jew-
Thc Fund 'army of 1037, according to its leaders, E. J. Schanfarbcr and Simon Lazarus, is dedicated to the promotion of peace—not its destruc¬ tion. Tlie ijcace that it seeks is eco¬ nomic peace tor 5,000,000 Jews abroad whose rights to live have already toppled or,arc being threatened and: an cconouitc peace for the numerous Jew¬ ish iniititutions and agencies in this country which promote Jewish well- being. , The workers will be armed with nothing but tacts and the .sharp reminder, to reluctant givers that "Pity Is Not .Enough."
General 'Chairman Schanfarbcr is fully confident that his drive array will reach its $50,000 quota, one ot the largest in the history of Columbus Jewry. "It's a case of 'must'," hc told his campaign leaders. "Jewish com¬ munities all over the country have conducted or arc conducting intensive drives with quotas set up tar ahead of ' funds previously, sought. The preservation ot their cbmmunal insti¬ tutions and the upkeep of national orphanages, hospitals, protective agen¬ cies, etc., are motivating forces, but it is the relief of Eastern European Jewry and thc upbuilding of Palestine that are most vital and compelling. For Columbns, $30,000 is the minimum fund required to, fulfill our obliga¬ tions. Anything short of that means that we liaVe failed," declared Schan¬ farber.
The Friday noon luncheon meeting was addressed by chairman Schan. farber who explained in detail the great ticed tor increased pledges to the various Jewish institutions and cmcrgeilcies. Prospect cards were dis¬ tributed to the campaign committee composed of the following workers:
Frank Bayer, Harry Ueckman, Troy Feibel, I. W. Garek, Lou Gertner, Arthur Goldberg, Jos. Goldstein, Jack Goodman, Max Hcrzberg, Dr. K. A. Jaffee, Walter Katz, Leonard Kohn, Sanford La¬ kin, Herbert L«vy, Herman Liever- nian, Samuel Luchs, Ben Lurie, Robert Mcllnian, Ben Neustadt,

Wasserstrom, Robert Weiler, A. B. Weinfeld. Si« Weisskerz, Jack Wolstein, Leo YassenofT. Ahe Yenkin, Herman Luckoff.
In accepting the leadership again this year Messrs. Schanfarber and Lazarus did so after conferring per- soiLilly with the active heads of both the J. D. C. iiiid the U. P. A. .-ft na¬ tional conferences held in New York. The quota ot the Joint Distribution Committee for this year is $1,(150,000 and that of the United Palestine Ap¬ peal is>l,500,000, a total ot $0,1110,000, the minimum that will be required to carryforward their respective pro¬ grams,
Joint Distribution Committee
It is the aim of the J. D. C. to aid the Jews in Germany in meeting the disastrous effects on them of the anti-1 Semitic attitude of that country's gov
ernment, in bringing a measure ot aid ish sympathy and solidarity with your to some three million Jews in Poland  fellow Jews over there.
To Elect Delegates
Election of delegates to the Twen-; tieth,World Zionist Congress will be held in. Columbus at the Schonthal Center from 9 a. m. to 8 p. m. Sunday, June 20. All Shekel holders are asked to appear in person and vote on that day.
Joins Anti-Nazi Boycott
NEW YORK (WNS)-Reacting to the Nazi regime's persecution of Catholics, St. Nicholas Catholic Church has mobilized its 6,000 mem¬ bers for the anti-Nazi economic boy¬ cott. St. Nicholas is said to be the first Catholic church in America to enlist in the boycott.
