...France want any plan for transplanting refugees to be carried out by existing League of Nations bodies. The U. S., backed by nonLeague Latin American nations, feels that since the conference's first move will have to be negotiation with League-hating Germany for removal of her Jewish and anti-Nazi population, a body completely removed from League influence would have more chance of success...
...disproving the axiom that a burned child dreads the fire. The scalding he got when he protested Louis D. Brandeis' appointment to the U. S. Supreme Court for "lack of judicial temperament" did not deter him from getting himself into hot water again by proposing a quota for Jewish students at Harvard and barring Negroes from freshmen dormitories. He went on to become embroiled in the Sacco-Vanzetti case as the target of libertarians' scorn. Last year, when he demanded that the Government suppress sitdown strikes, Massachusetts Labor sharply reminded him of Harvard's underpaid scrubwomen. Latest...
...study of a group of unmoneyed young New Yorkers vacationing in the Berkshires were that all of the visitors at Kamp Kare-Free were unmistakably denizens of The Bronx and that the author had caught, with sympathy but cruel precision, all the semi-miraculous gradations of Bronx Jewish dialect.

Given the job of killing many of his own best lines, Author Kober did so with purposeful objectivity. He also supplied new ones which were in many cases even better. Consequently, like an enlarged photograph which brings out virtues unsuspected in its smaller original, the cinema version of Having Wonderful Time is a kind of streamlined folk comedy, hilarious not because...
...Naziland, music by Jewish composers, performances by Jewish musicians, are strictly verboten. So that good Germans may know what music and which musicians to avoid, a Nazi Who's Who of Jewish musicians has been compiled. Its title: Judentum und Musik mil dem ABC jüdischer und nichtarischer Musik-beflissener. The third edition of this witching work, which last week reached U. S. shores, showed Nazi inquisitors to be more thorough than accurate. Among the prominent "Jewish" musicians listed: Chicago's retiring Yankee Composer John Alden Carpenter; rotund Danceband-leader Paul Whiteman; lusty, kewpie-faced Wagnerian Tenor...
