Frankly Speaking
BY PAT FRANK
We were just wondering wheth
er there were any young men
coming up to replace Bob Mar
shall. Here was an American, of
the Jewish faith, born in New
York, who was so passionately
fond of the outdoors —of the con
servation of the great forests—
that his program for the keeping
of the eternal wilderness will be
appreciated# for generations to
come.
Frank C. Waldrop, in The Wash
ington Times-Herald, wrote a
piece about Bob Marshall —who
was chief of the division of recre
ation and lands for the Forest
Service and who was only 37
when he died suddenly here. Wal
drop said:
“He was no reckless amateur,
for he studied at the New York
State College of Forestry and the
Harvard Forest School, and won a
doctorate from Johns Hopkins
in Plant Physiology.”
It might be a good thing if more
of us emulated Bob Marshall and
followed a profession like that of
forestry.

THE WINDMILL
PHILLIPS HIGHWAY, U. S. No. 1
Under New Management James M. (Jimmie) Shields, Owner
are keeping quiet in print, and
saying privately, “I don’t think
he's going to run again . . . peo
ple don’t joke about running for
the presidency—they only joke
when they’re going to step out of
the man-killing job” . . « and one
man I know said: “What will the
country be like—without Mrs.
Roosevelt?”
The State Department—The
Lublin “reservation” has the Eu
ropean Division worried . . . our
men abroad can’t seem to find
out anything definite about the
German plans for the huge, barren
Ghetto . . . Ominous news comes
to the department . . . the Jews
in Warsaw are being confined be
hind barbed-wire barricades . . .
“so they can be found without
trouble when the pogroms start,
I suppose,” said one official who
has no love for the Nazis.
Capitol Hill —The peregrinations
of Martin Dies, notably his setting
up the un-American Committee
for hearings in key cities, have
some of his colleagues worried . ..
he’s grabbing too much glory, and
when he asks for another appro
priation, he may have trouble.
Alaska’s Representative-without-a
vote, Mr. Dimond, is flying to
most of the towns and villages in
the territory, just now, feeling out
sentiment on the projected refugee
colonies sponsored by Secretary
Ickes . . . Dimond, when he left
Washington, frankly doubted
whether refugee colonization of
| Alaska, except possibly on a very
small scale, could be successful.
Embassy Row —The Polish Em
bassy has been getting most of
its news on what goes on in the
interior of Poland from bulletins
of the J. T. A., Mr. Lepkowski,
the second secretary, informs me.
|. . . their own means of direct
communication, of course must
[pass through Germany , , . The
Mendel Mozes stories were partic
ularly impressive, he said.
The Navy Department—There’s
going to be a shakeup of the ad
mirals that will rock the keel,
personally superintended by F. D.
R. . . . Reason, of course, will be
the recently constructed topheavy
destroyers . . . People say that
the President knows more about
the Navy than any of his ad
mirals.

THE SOUTHERN JEWISH^ WEEKLY
the weekly sedrah
BY RABBI DAVID B. ALPERT
“She is more righteous than I
(Genesis 37-40; P, Wayeshev)
Joseph was a dreamer of
dreams. Strange dreams had come
to his father. Today, the inter
pretation of dreams proceeds ac
cording to the definite rules of
science. Not often do they inter
pret dreams in the way that the
Bible presents them. And the
Bible interpretation of dreams tell
something vital about character,
and shows that dreams are really
some of the deep things of human
nature. In that way, too, the
Bible throws light and understand
ing on our contemporary situa
tion.
The dream is the secret of inner
hopes, of an ardent desire to make
one’s life amount to something and
to make something of his life.
Joseph’s dreams show him deter
mined to fill his life with distinc
tion and accomplishment. They
reveal his deliberate purpose to
make his life over keeping tp a
definite life-plan and allowing
nothing to deter him from reach
ing his life-work. The dream may
thus be more than wish-fulfill
ment only in the imagination.
As in Joseph, the dream can be
come the ruling force which mo
tivates life and keeps the ideal
constantly before one.
In order to reach the inner pur
poses of that dream, Joseph and
everyone else must be prepared to
pay the costs. He must yield to
no temptation. Obstacles placed
Sinclair Lewis Calls
Anti-Semitism “Treason”
Anti-Semitism is ‘‘treason to
America”, according to Sinclair
Lewis, famous novelist and winner
of the Nobel Prize for literature.
“Any organized attempt to
spread racial hatred in the United
States,” Mr. Lewis declares, “or
any attack upon individuals or
groups here on the ground of race
or religion is, in the light of the
Bill of Rights—treason to Amer
ica. By the same token, it is a
betrayal not only of the guaran
tees of freedom and equality con
tained in the Constitution, but of
the whole of our traditions and
ideals as a free Republic.
“Anti-Semitism is as anti-Am
erican as any other subversive,
mischievous, and inimical idea.
But outside of the utter injustice,
the baseness that is involved in
all such wholesale charges against
Jews or any other minority group,
it is ridiculous and thoroughly
nonsensical to condemn a whole
race, or to advance that arch
absurdity of superior and inferior
races.”

in his way must be utilized as
additional means toward reaching
the goal. Joseph’s own brother
(as perhaps Joseph knew) dis
graced himself by cheap tempta
tion. And many temptations were
placed in the path of Josephs
attainment: slavery and queens
and hardships and prison were not
part of his original plan, but he
refused them. He was instead de
termined to hold to his ideal, and
to realize it in his life.
Such determined devotion to an
ideal, from which danger and ob
stacle will not move one, can be
come the ruling life-force of a
person or a people. In Josephs
case, particularly, he had much
to learn and to do before he be
came as he wanted. In early life,
he showed himself the spoiled
child who could not get along
with his brothers. Joseph had to
learn how to live in family rela
tionships, and. to know that life is
not always smooth and as one
wishes. The prophet Amos re
minds the Jewish people of the
obstacles they must overcome if
they would reach their dream of
greatness and distinction.
This chapter is read just before
the Chanukah. Can we see in
Chanukah the same thought re
peated for our use ? Let a people
cherish their dreams, never sur
rendering it, but holding devoutly
in determination to the purpose of
their dream, and they will be the
source of greatness and of bless
ing.
can Jewry, he replied: “They must
join up with all the progressive
forces of the country and expose
all the charges against them for
the libels and falsehoods that
they are.”
