JERUSALEM (WNS—Palcor Agency)—Unanimous disapproval of any plan for th^ partition or cantoni¬ zation of Palestine or that might in¬ fringe upon the scope of the Jewish National Home was voted by the Zion¬ ist Actions Committee in adopting a series of nine resolutions submitted by the political commission. These reso¬ lutions, in summary, were as follows: (1) The Actions Committee ap¬ proves the line taken by the Executive in the presentation of evidence before the Royal Commission; (2) Jewry's historical , connection with Palestine, recognized .under the League Man¬ date, thc distress of Jewish masses in the Diaspora, the great possibilities of Palestine and the benefits conferred upon thc entire country by Jewish col¬ onization, serve as .the basis for the Jewish, claim upon the Mandatory Power and the League for' full execu¬ tion of the obligations undertaken in the Balfour Declaration and in the Mandate; (3) stresses the Mandatory Power's obligation to place the' coun¬ try under such pblitical, administrative' and economic coilditions as .will ensure thc establishment o£ the' Jewish Na¬ tional ftome. It urges: the Manda¬ tory's assistance, for the extension of Palestine's absorptivity for Jewish im- migraiioti, tlie allocation of lands, for Jewish settlement,' the promotion of industry and the establishment of a legislative and.adininistrative system that- will facilitate a more rapid, de-'- velopment whose benefits will accrue to all inhabitants.
(4) The; Actions .Committee de¬ clares that the Jewish people firmly oppose aiiy attempt to . curtail , the rights,', possibilities and scope of the Jewish National Home, any infringe¬ ment of the obligations in the Mail- date, any ,whittling down of the Bal- iour Declaration, any departure froin the principle bf economic absorptivity, any limitation upon land acquisition, any pblicy of crystallizing the Jewish

Once upon a time there was a girl, So what? So you're right., Being a igirl is nothing, to get excited over and being named Itlce and living in Poland is not much niore. B'ut Itke! plays the violin aiid her father plays the cello- bass, and they-play on the road in the tittle towns, and Itke disguises herself as, a boy so she!ll be safe on the road and she calls herself.

THEY MUST NOT DIE
CINCINNATI, O, —B'nai . B'rith lodges,, which have just been officially ordered dissolved throughout Germany by the German government, have for years been spending a million marks annually for charitable purposes, it was-revealed here by Senator Alfred M. Cohen, international president of the Order.
. This sum was spent tipon dozens of old age, hospital, and orphanage insti¬ tutions, the inmates of which were evicted,by the German state secret po¬ lice. They had been granted three days in which to leave, a period which has just expired. The evicted include ap proximately '200. aged Jews who had contracted with B'nai B'rith lodges for life maintenance and had handed over all their possessions to the Order. Scenes of.' heart-rending distress were enacted a^ the'sick, the lame, the blind, the aged and the hundreds oi orphans were turned into the streets to shift for themselves in a country where the Jew is a "second-class citi¬ zen", with scores of discriminatory laws and regulations, the' latest bf which forbids more than foui- Jews to foregather in public.
B'nai B'rith is an American fra¬ ternal order which functioned in 30 countries, including Germafiy. It still functions in 29 countries throughout North and South. America, Europe, Africa and .Asia. It was founded in New York city in 1843. :The German branches Were established 55 years ago; today, there" are , 103 lodges in
Germany, More than 440 B'nai B'rith lodges function in the 46 states of . America and Canada.
Senator Cohen lias appealed to Cor- dell Hull, Secretary of State, for American intercession in behalf o{ the tiiifortunjite former inmates of B'nai B'rith institutions in Germany. A sim¬ ilar plea for intervention by the Amer¬ ican government was lodged with Sec¬ retary Hull by Dr. Samuel Cavert Mc¬ Crea, general secretary of the Federal Council of the Churches of Christ in America,. and by Dr. Cyrus Adler, president of the American -Jewish Committee.
Senator Cohen said he had received a message from a .reliable source in Lpndbii that 185 B'nai B'rith ofiicials all oVer Germany^.including presidents :iiid .secretaries, had been questioned from morning until afternoon, but that all had been released before nightfall, The message further stated that all: properties, of the, 103 lodges had been confiscated, . including homes ¦, for the aged, child care institutions/ and others.
According to a dispatch from Ber- „ Iin, .the suddenness of the evictions caught the Jewish community by sur¬ prise, and today communal officials were feverishly seeking shelter for the , victims, among whom .were many sick' persons,, children, arid helpless, aged, The same dispatch said that a nuiiiber of lodges in provincial cities had been invaded, arid searched throughout Belr- (Conlinned 'on page 3) •

Well, Yiddle and her father wander from town to town playing in all the market places and courtyards, and such music you have no idea, like the Saturday Swing Club, only better. So who should they meet tip with but Isaac Kalamutker and his son Efrairii, You, know Ike Kalainiitker, the clari- net player and lifraim.. Can that boy fiddle: I'm telling you. Alhiost he is better than 'Yiddle, alniost. At least he thinks so, so you can imagine what happens- Fights and quarrels and niore fights until, I'm telling you, it's something awful. ;
Of course things can't go on this way, so they get together, musically, I mean, and tliey make a quartet. This is better for everyone, and it makes a little extra ."jjelt" besides, so who should kick?
But you know when business is good something always happens,

POLAND has declared war on its three million Jews. That is. the real meaning of the^'pronouncement by the secretary of the new goy- crnment party, the Camp of Na¬ tioiial Unity, that Jews are to be excluded, frbm membership and that th^ ,party is Gominitted .to :_a policy of anti-Jewish boycott and the complete' elimination of Jews from' Polish life.
With this announccmerit the; Jew¬ ish status in Poland, long critical, enters upon ^a state of emergency, The government party's, oflicial proclamation that the Jews are henceforth to be regarded as aliens and pariahs^ to be exterminated as quickly as pOBsibjIe, exposes the Jews of Polahd to-^ the imminent danger of physical violence on an unprecedented scale.
POLAND, the scene of some of the worst pogroms in Jewish his¬ tory, has now formally embraced, the Hitlerite platforrii and'philos- ;ophy. It would be the height of folly to elbse our eyes :ta this fact. The three million Jews of Poland arc noyv in a position far worse than that of their brethren in Nazi Germany. ! The Polish anti-Semites have never manifested oven, that scif-restraint which has character¬ ized the German rank and file in so far as anti-Jewish violence is concerned.
The situation created by the Po¬ lish government calls for immedi¬ ate and heroic measures by those organizations in this country which, seek to defend Jewish rights abroad/ At this very moment Jew¬ ish rights ih Poland are ended; Thc Jews are at the mercy of the mob. It is imperative tliat American Jewry act quickly and aggressively to.mobilize public opinion in this country, which wa& in large meas ure responsible for Polish inde¬ pendence. ,
Upon AMERICAN JEWRY rests a grave reaponsibility. If we foil, then upon us will fall history's ver¬ dict that we permitted three mil¬ lion Jews to be destroyed. The call is for action. Let American Jewry speak as one to the world. We dare not permit three million Jews to be destroyed.

Rabbi Leopold Greenvrald
If we were, asked to enumerate the many virtues of Rabbi Greenwald, we would say that he is intensely liuinan in every aspect of his, life. .That his habits arc characterized by a distinc¬ tive simplicity, which, by contrast, add a fa-icinating charm to the keenness of - his intellect and a Striking brilliancy to. his'. pro found ^ scholarship, Rabbi Grceiuvald is indeed a moral force, in Judaism. His work is done in a spirit ] of true devption to the highest'ideals of orthodoxy,'; Since his coming here twelve years ago, the rabbi has held fast to the strict interpretations of his Eaitli and has given it character, mean^ ing and significance. His fine services and untiring. efTorts asa rabbi and liis aehieveniciits as an author, have had such an influence upon the Beth Jacob congregation as to endear him in the hearts of tlie entire membership.
Rabbi Greenwald has not limited his work to Columbus only, but is inter-r nationally known by his contributions to iiiimerous |ieri.odicals; His articles on- the Talmud and ancient Hebrew culture have gained for. him a high position among modern writers and orthodox leaders. The rabbi is better known, Iiowever, as an author. At the ^ge of 17 he published Iris first work, and since then has written 24 books and 100 articles on Jewish'history and Hebraic literature, The greatest satis¬ faction he finds in his research work to which he devotes considerable tim? and cITort. Rabbi Greenwald is oqe of the most active leaders of the Union of Orthodox Rabbis of Anierica, and for the last ten years has been a member of the executive board.
Sunday evening's program will be¬ gin promptly at li:00 o'clock with Mr, Morris Beim as toastmaster.' Among the prominent speakers who will be heard are Rabbi Eleazer Silver of Cin¬ cinnati, Ohio, honorary president o{ : the Union of Orthodox Rabbis; Rabbi A. S. Katz of Indianapolis.

These reso¬ lutions, in summary, were as follows: (1) The Actions Committee ap¬ proves the line taken by the Executive in the presentation of evidence before the Royal Commission; (2) Jewry's historical , connection with Palestine, recognized .under the League Man¬ date, thc distress of Jewish masses in the Diaspora, the great possibilities of Palestine and the benefits conferred upon thc entire country by Jewish col¬ onization, serve as .the basis for the Jewish, claim upon the Mandatory Power and the League for' full execu¬ tion of the obligations undertaken in the Balfour Declaration and in the Mandate; (3) stresses the Mandatory Power's obligation to place the' coun¬ try under such pblitical, administrative' and economic coilditions as .will ensure thc establishment o£ the' Jewish Na¬ tional ftome. It urges: the Manda¬ tory's assistance, for the extension of Palestine's absorptivity for Jewish im- migraiioti, tlie allocation of lands, for Jewish settlement,' the promotion of industry and the establishment of a legislative and.adininistrative system that- will facilitate a more rapid, de-'- velopment whose benefits will accrue to all inhabitants. (4) The; Actions .Committee de¬ clares that the Jewish people firmly oppose aiiy attempt to . curtail , the rights,', possibilities and scope of the Jewish National Home, any infringe¬ ment of the obligations in the Mail- date, any ,whittling down of the Bal- iour Declaration, any departure froin the principle bf economic absorptivity, any limitation upon land acquisition, any pblicy of crystallizing the Jewish Uniel Players to Present 3 Pn&nal One-ActPlays Thursday Evening Ohio State University's versatile Hillel Players will present three origi¬ nal one-act plays by prominent Jewish students; the winners of the annual Hillel Playwriting Conteat, on Thurs¬ day isvening, May C, in the University Hall Chapei.

THEY MUST NOT DIE CINCINNATI, O, —B'nai . B'rith lodges,, which have just been officially ordered dissolved throughout Germany by the German government, have for years been spending a million marks annually for charitable purposes, it was-revealed here by Senator Alfred M. Cohen, international president of the Order. . This sum was spent tipon dozens of old age, hospital, and orphanage insti¬ tutions, the inmates of which were evicted,by the German state secret po¬ lice. They had been granted three days in which to leave, a period which has just expired. The evicted include ap proximately '200. aged Jews who had contracted with B'nai B'rith lodges for life maintenance and had handed over all their possessions to the Order. Scenes of.' heart-rending distress were enacted a^ the'sick, the lame, the blind, the aged and the hundreds oi orphans were turned into the streets to shift for themselves in a country where the Jew is a "second-class citi¬ zen", with scores of discriminatory laws and regulations, the' latest bf which forbids more than foui- Jews to foregather in public. B'nai B'rith is an American fra¬ ternal order which functioned in 30 countries, including Germafiy. It still functions in 29 countries throughout North and South. America, Europe, Africa and .Asia.

A sim¬ ilar plea for intervention by the Amer¬ ican government was lodged with Sec¬ retary Hull by Dr. Samuel Cavert Mc¬ Crea, general secretary of the Federal Council of the Churches of Christ in America,. and by Dr. Cyrus Adler, president of the American -Jewish Committee. Senator Cohen said he had received a message from a .reliable source in Lpndbii that 185 B'nai B'rith ofiicials all oVer Germany^.including presidents :iiid .secretaries, had been questioned from morning until afternoon, but that all had been released before nightfall, The message further stated that all: properties, of the, 103 lodges had been confiscated, . including homes ¦, for the aged, child care institutions/ and others. According to a dispatch from Ber- „ Iin, .the suddenness of the evictions caught the Jewish community by sur¬ prise, and today communal officials were feverishly seeking shelter for the , victims, among whom .were many sick' persons,, children, arid helpless, aged, The same dispatch said that a nuiiiber of lodges in provincial cities had been invaded, arid searched throughout Belr- (Conlinned 'on page 3) • ADDED FEATURES There will be special added fea¬ tures^ for the children attending either performance of the Third United Jubilee at the Hartman Theatre, Sunday, May 9.
