Bowling this week produced the star of stars, during the match between the leaguo-leaditig Wardrobe clothiers and the Clicquot Eskimos.

Sammy "Weenie" Steinberg, unbeknown to all concerned, went up to the alleys in the afternoon before the bowling, and together with the alley man, painted a f e w so-called "spots" on the wood, to sort of give him a hint as to just where to aim his individual bowling ball.

His personal attention to this matter produced real results, when he broke his all-season Bearing record by putting together games of 182, 235 and 175 for a big GJ>2 series, which topped his team as well as the entire league this week.

Sammy's scores were the big reason the Wardrobes w o n two games from t h e Clicquot Clubs, after dropping the first game.

The double win, firmly entrenched Moe Linsman's boys in first place by a margin of eight games, with only 21 games more left to bowl.

George Shapiro, the southpaw anchor man of the losers, turned, ia a nice series made up of games of 204, 207 and then a miserable 149, which kept him out of the "600" class.

"Nebraska Power Reports on Taxes

"If the.Nebraska Power company didn't pay taxes it could give its customers free service two months out of eacii year." J. E, Davidson, president of the company, said in commenting on the report that an Iowa municipal plant has given its customers ona month's free service.

"In talking a b o u t electric rates,' Mr. Davidson added, "It is well to keep in mind that privately-owned utilities pay taxes and municipal utilities do not. No comparison of their electric rates, therefore, is fair unless this freedom from taxation is considered.

"Our company pays 11,469,000 or more than $4,000 a day, in taxes. Our contribution to the support of government takes 17 cents of every dollar we receive.'

This is more than twice the 8% per cent discount w h i c h one month's free service represents.

Were our company not required to pay taxes, the savings therefore would equal two months frea service to our customers, not just occasionally, but every year.

"If our company were tax-free, our residential rates, which now average 3.6 cents per kilowatthour, would be reduced to considerably leBs than 3 cents.

"The taxes -• we pay are, ot course needed for the support of schools, police, fire and health The big upset of the evening departments, and other govern-

The Academy is an institution built on tolerance . . . on the com plete obliteration of a l l racial, color and creed lines. And for the first time in thirteen years a sour note was sounded which left a bitter flavor. Quontin Reynolds, n e w s correspondent, explaining why the Academy hired auditors to count the 12,000 ballots, said, "They don't think anyone in the industry c a n count to 13,000.

But they're wrong . . . there are some who can count to 12,000.

Even a few producers can do it - > but not in English!" Albeit JVir. Reynolds was only building for a laugh . . . lie must be a very foreign "foreign correspondent" not to know that such pokes are as passe as silent pictures. The scattered hisses that greeted his remark were music in our ears.

David Selznick (who, Mr. Reynolds will be surprised to know, is a graduate of Columbia University and can count at least to three since he has received three Academy Oscars) accepted with modesty and visible emotion the Best Picture award for "Rebecca." The gold doll for Best Original Story went to Benjamin Glazer and John S. Toldy for "Arise, My Love." In accepting alone, Mr. Glazer related that his collaborator must remain incognito under a pen-name because h i s family still lives in the shadow of a dictator. Vincent Korda, brother of Alexander, r e c e i v e d the art achievement award for "Thief of Bagdad." Best musical scoring prize was won by Alfred Newman for "Tin Pan Alley." That was a l l of the Chosen who w e r e chosen.

Cleverest quip by Bop Hope, M. C : "This new method of sealing the award winners in envelopes until the last moment has the press boys in awful suspense.

They are doing everything poasible to find out the names. In fact, when the last envelope was closed, they had to open it up again to let Sidney Skolsky out!"

Kultur a la Nazi: Come reports from Norway that after Norwegian actors of radio, film, and stage refused to nso their talents for the propagation of tho "new order," the quality of entertainment fell so low that audiences lost interest. Immediately t h e Propaganda Minister took action , .ruled that any actor who declined to appear in Nazi-controlled productions would be blacklisted and forever barred from tnq profession.

Plans Discussed

By Theta Lambda For Musical Revue Members of Theta Lambda saTority, at their regular meeting which was held Tuesday, March 11 at the home of Miss Evelyn Waldman, discussed possibilities of sponsoring a benefit musical review to feature and include all the talent of the Jewish community of Omaha.

Realizing the-difficulty of arranging and managing such a huge project, they are anxious to feel they have the full support and backing of the Jewish population. They are asking, therefore, to hear from any and all of you who are interested in participating actively or otherwise contributing to such a review.

Will any individuals who feel they have talent and are willing to give their time and efforts towards making a success of thia enterprise please contact Miss Ethel Kadis, HA 0705.

Theta Lambda will deeply appreciate comments a n d suggestions form the public to indicate their attitude toward the undertaking proposed.

"At the present time, its tempo has increased significantly and it is believed that the full number of persons permitted by law to enter the United States will receiye Visas. At present steamship facilities from Lisbon alone' can accommodate 2,000 emigrants monthly.

"In addition the trans-Siberian route continues to be used, particularly from East European countries. South American countries have seen a steady infiltration of refugees despite many entrance difficulties. -Refugees who have settled in Latin America are now beginning to bring In their next of kin. They look to the Joint Distribution Committee for transportation means.'

"Emigration to Palestine continues. The Joint Distribution Committee today, -as in the past, is paying for. transportation to Palestine of refugees from Hungary, Rumania,, Y,ugps.lavia and Central European countries. It is of interest to note that during 1940 alone, the J. D. C. spent 1636,000, or 10 per cent of its total expenditures in that year, for preparation and transportation of emigrants to Palestine.. ''Over 9,000 people can be emigrated during the first six months of 1941 provided $2,875,000 can be made available by the J. D. C. This is exclusive of emigration from Greater Germany with funds made available with emigration Clearance arrangements."

World-Wide Need Mr. Jacobs went on to outline the needs for relief in various countries as they have been submitted to him by the J. D. C. Perhaps the greatest problem, he pointed out, is in Poland where 1,500,000 needy Jews are crowded into ghett'03; marked by yellow badges, buffeted, spat upon, Imprisoned, harnessed and yoked like beasts in the field, made to toll at every humiliating task and reviled for their pains.

"The J. D. C," it is stated, •'is requested to supply the equivalent; of $3,200,000 for programs of feeding, housing, clothing, medical aid, child care work, etc., in Poland, in German-occupied Poland, Including the areas which have been formally annexed to Germany. Over 2,000 individual institutions and committees in more than 400 localities form a net work for carrying on the J. D.;; C. work in German-Poland.

There are 581 feeding stations alone. With close to 500,000 Jewa being aided dally, a request of'1600,000 monthly from J. D.

A first-hand avcouut of the European disaster was Tuesday evening given a Center audience by Morris Troper, Kiiropean representative of the Joint Distribution Committee, who returned from Lisbon only a few weeks ago.

Troper, who was the last civilian to be named to the French Legion of Honor before the collapse of the Republic, has witnessed nearly every major event concerning European Jews. He was in Berlin on November 10, 1938, the day of the pogroms; he was in the "no man's land" into which Germany expelled Polish Jews at pistol point, shortly before the outbreak of the war; he remained in Paris until the city Was captured by the German army, and he fled with the, civilian population to southern France, He was in the Bordeaux railroad station with thousands of Jewish, refugees when it became the objective of German bombers. together, sick and well, sane and Insane, huddled side by side.

The J. D. C, in co-operation with the Quakers, the Unitarians and the International Y. M. C. A., has formed a Camp Committee to bring a measure of relief to these unfortunates. This Committee has managed to introduce some blankets, warm clothing and medical supplies into the camps.

For the first half of 1941, the sum equivalent to $150,000 is requested from J. D. C. for continuation of this program.

Aid Work Mr. Jacobs also cited the situation in Lisbon, Portugal, the last remaining neutral seaport on the Atlantic which offers the hope of exit for thousands of refugees.

There, he said, the J. D. C. Is giving daily relief to 1,700 people and occasional; assistance to 1,800 more. The work is absolutely necessary if the Portuguese government is to continue transit facilities to refugees.

In Shanghai, he pointed out, 20,000 refugees are living in an "emigre city" where 14,000 have no source of support except the dallyrmeals supplied to them by the J. D. C. at a cost of 4 cents per person. To continue this minimal feeding, the J, D. C. is called upon to provide $165,000 during the first half of this year.

"Cries for help," Mr. Jacobs said, "are coming from the four quarters of the globe. In most cases, the J. D. C. is the only organization to which the sufferers can possibly look for aid. The J. D. C. is straining its rescources to the utmost to cope with the situation. These resources up to now have been tragically inadequate.

It rests with us to decide at this time'Whether the need shall be met."

Out of Sunday's meeting at Lincoln, Mr. Jacobs added, it is hoped will come the impetus for Nebraska, to do its share to enable the J. D. C. to carry on its work. .

THE JEWISH PRESS

By DE. THEODORE H. LEV/IS ' Rabbi, Prcgres&Jwe Syjiagogssft, ESreckfyB, K. ¥«

DAPIM M'PIMiASO HIIEL RABIJA I (PAGES FKOM THE DIARY OF A • KAURI, S 8 » PACKS, RIAX RABIN, 8HULSINGER BKOTJIUKS PRESS, NEW YORK. This Is an Interesting and illuminating commentary on Jewish life in America as seen by the scholarly Reform rabbi of Patterson, New Jersey.

Dr. Ilasin's analysis of American Judaism will be deeply disturbing to those who are concerned about its future. He writes truthfully and fearlessly about certain alarming trends iu Jewish life. If heeded, the %varning implicit in the volume may yet halt the oncoming storm, intimations which are evident in every area of Jewish life, and most emphatically in that of the synagogue.

The autobiographical portion of the volume deals with the rabbinate, and more especially with the Reform rabbinate. Dr. Itasin entered the Hebrew Union College In 1898 and graduated in 1903.

He enjoyed his years at Cincinnati enormously and was stimulated by the contact with the faculty and students of the college.

His impressions of his teachers are fresh and vivid. For the Dr. I, M. Wise, founder and president of the institution, he has naught but affectionate praise - as do all the students who came under the benign * influence of this man. Though admiring enormously Dr. Gotthard Deutcb, Dr. Itasln does not" ignore his deficiencies as an ^author and pedagogue. Dr. Deutch's strong proGerman sentiments, w h i c h in 1917 seriously endangered h i s tenure at the college appear pathetic in view of what the Nazis have done to the Jews.

Ignorance The most seriouB and regretful shortcoming of the Reform Rabbinate is ignorance ol Judaism.

This ignorance, so deep and extensive, has had a most deleterious effect on Jewish life. There is nothing more shameful, and more revolting, than to listen to a Reform rabbi who cannot read even the Bible in the original, not to mention any Rabbinic text, attempting to expound Judaism!

Since congregants can no longer distinguish between a scholarly rabbi and otherwise, the problem , of Am h'Arazuth in the rabbinate - - inoluding the Conservative - is becoming increasingly grave.

Because Dr. Rasin loves Reform Judaism and the Reform Synagogue does he not hesitate to indicate where it has failed. He laments the growing indifference to, and neglect of, Judaism, and the difficulty of attracting worshippers and filling the synagogue. But, and this is important, the indifference and the confusion within the ranks of Conservative and Orthodox circles is as large and as devastating.

Not Specific Reform The ills of Reform Judaism are not specific to Reform - - its critics and fooai notwithstanding.

Similar Ills, and in more threatening form exist within all Jewish religious groups. Reform is stagnating for the very same reasons •which are responsible for the decadence of Conservatism and Orthodoxy, the secular temper of the age, and the absence of religious Interest not to say zeal, among our people.

It is not one particular type of Judaism which is losing ground, but rather Judaism and the synagogue as a -whole which are losing their hold upon the American Jew. Reform Judaism is intellectually honest, and aesthetically attractive. The lack of enthusiasism within its ranks Is not due to any inherent defect,

but to the anniliiliatirtg secularism so pronounced a characteristic of American life in general and of Jewish life iu particular. When a Jewish renafsance in America does occur, it will follow the Reform pattern and basic ideology.

It is difficult to decide which Is the more interesting part of the book, the autobiographical, or the literary where a host of Important themes are discuss&d helpfully, honestly and in a most delightful Hebrew style. The author has something of importance to say upon such diverse subjects as Church and State, the Negro, Rome and Jerusalem, Jewish Education, the Future of Mankind, etc.

J e s u s he discusses several times, and always reverently, and with eelf-respect. The Jewish attitude towards the Founder of Christianity Is summarized thus: 'The problem is not how we shall return Jesus to the Jews a n d Judaism, but how 1o cause- the Christians to return to Jesus and His gospel." What more can, or need, be said about this significant, and to the Jewg painful, subject?

This important quality of selfrespect is again evident in an essay dealing with Christian-Jewish relations, and significantly entitled "Gratitude for Righteousness and Justice." It deserves wide distribution. Is it no.t true that "we lower ourselves, demean ourselves, In the eyes of our friends when we exhibit excessive gratitude for their fair dealing with us?"

Commercialism Denounced A common criticism aaginst the rabbinate is commercialism, a sin which the author denounces in one place most vehemently. In its very ugly forms, however, the vice Is rare. A more modest diseaso afflicts the rabbinate, but one as fatal to personal intercity, namely, the yielding to comfort and the surrender to pleasure.

Moral courage and the fleshpota of Egypt do not dwell together.

Instead of high devotion to the service of God, many in the rabbjnate choose the easier path of

FrisE&y, Marck 14, 1S41

evasion of duty, of expediency, compromise with conscience. Ease and tfce craving luxury are a snare to the rabbi - - as to every holiest person.

Personal reminiscences and contacts with, many outstaEding Jewisn personalities form one of the most absorbing portions of this record. With much pride does the author tell of his friendship with ALad h'arn, and of the stimulating days spent fn Ms company during a vacation in Palestine. The visits with Usishkin, who, to his great surprise, epoke Yiddish instead of Hebrew, with Schwarzbard, who murdered Petlura, and with many others are vividly portrayed. Modern Palestine, of course, was a stirring experience, and the journey to the Wailing Wall on the 9th of Ab is among the treasured memories of the author.

Dr. Rasin's religious faith Is emphasized in a brief essay entitled "Israel's Song of Unity."

The unity of God and the unity of mankind form the twin pillars of Judaism which have given it the strong ethical emphasis so characteristic of the Jewish faith.

Because the volume is in Hebrew, it will reach a small circle of friends and readers. This is unfortunate. Ameiican Jewa need and criticism, the admonition, and the exhortation of this devoted rabbi who has labored In the vineyaid of Israel with consecration. An English translation, at least of the more important articles would be most helpful.

The balance of tae funds raised will be distributed by an allotment committee as in 1940.
