Since Der Führer dosed the Fatherland with his anti-Jewish purge, German Jews from Scientist Einstein down to the small-town sausagemaker have been kicked around. Prime exception has been 47- year-old German Jew Arnold Bernstein, head of Arnold Bernstein Line, Red Star Line and Palestine Shipping Co. Hitler, during his four years of dictatorship, has paternally patted Mr. Bernstein's head, graciously welcomed his contributions to German trade. Loudly cheered by Nazis was Jew Bernstein for elaborately equipping "garage ships" and docks with high-speed elevators, enabling cars to be transported at big savings. Loudly...
...additional $9,000 to the academy named after Indian Poet Sir Rabindranath Tagore.

In his early days as Hyderabad's ruler the present Nizam dismissed the Diwan or acting cabinet and directed affairs as his own Prime Minister for some years with such vigor that "The Residency" was often rumored pressing for his abdication. Came the War. The Nizam's $100,000,000 gift to Britain squared many things, and Sir Akbar Hydari now manages to square the rest. However, the Richest Man considered his Royal...
Peeling off their shirts and undershirts in a hearing room in Washington one day last week, a prime collection of mighty-muscled weightlifters offered their prowess and appearance as evidence in Federal Trade Commission proceedings against Robert Collins Hoffman, a strapping York, Pa. body-lover who sells male muscle in the form of lessons, bar bells and a magazine called Strength & Health. Mr. Hoffman had been cited by the Com-mission for unfair competition with his rivals in the muscle-making industry. But the case boiled down to a quarrel between Mr. Hoffman and Charles Atlas, who does business...
