The entire community lost one of lh
greatest citizen when Jacob Levy, of Tuc*
s6n, passed away recently. He was held
in deep esteem as a gentleman 'of the
'Old School" and as a successful business
man.
Mr. Levy was born in Peoria, 111. in
1®73. His first employment was selling
newspapers, as a lad of eleven. When a
young boy he went to southeastern Texas,
settling near Houston. Even as a young
man he demonstrated outstanding leader
ship ability and possessed a keen sense
of community responsibility, which he
carried on to the end of his days.
Jacob Levy married Mamie Lapper in
1901. The family came to Douglas, Arizo*
na in 1903, where he entered business
with his younger brother Ben, who died
some ten months ago. In 1930 he came
to Tucson and founded the firm of Levy's
with his two sons Aaron and Leon.
He was a member of Temple Emanuel,
B'nai Brith, Elks and the Old Pueblo Club.
He is survived by his wife and two sons.
Jacob Levy was an asset to Arizona, to
Tucson, and to the Jewish community.
May his soul rest in peace.

"To all my fellow citizens of the
Jewish faith I extend hearty greetings
and good wishes on their New Year's
Day.
"Its celebration this year comes at
a time when the United States and

This task cannot be completed unless
all persons, without distinction of race,
language or religion, are made se
cure in the enjoyment of their in
herent human rights. To this en, the
treaties of peace now being discussed
bind the nations who warred against
human freedom to guarantee to all
their people freedom of opinion, free
dom of expression, freedom of assem
bly and freedom of worship.
"These freedoms are the heritage
of centuries of civilization. All of us
share the responsibility for seeing that
they are extended to all mankind.'

DIGEST OF THE NEWS
EXPULSION OF JEWS REGISTERED AS
GERMANS DENIED BY CZECH
GOVERNMENT
PRAGUE (WNS)— A denial that the
Czech Government was preparing to de
port Czech Jews who registered as Ger
mans in the pre-war census was made
here by the Czech Ministry of the Inte
rior.
At the same time the Council of Jewish

Jews who had registered as German
nationals were marked for deportation but
that the deportation order had been
voided after its intervention by high
government officials.
LONDON (WNS) — The conference on
Palestine opened here this week with a
plea by Prime Minister Attlee to the Arab
delegates that they must look upon the
Palestine problem from the broad view
point of world political issues and with an
admonition that the problem was insoluble
unless they, and the Jews, were pre
pared to make concessions.
Stressing that the Palestine problem
"cannot be treated in isolation but must
be regarded against the wider back
ground of world policy, the British Prime
Minister noted that everything that hap
pens in Palestine "has reactions in a
wider sphere" and that "for a Palestine
plan to ignore those reactions would be
to shut its eyes to reality." He spoke of
the "natural partnership" between Bri
tain and the Arabs, and expressed the
hope that the "harmony of that partner
ship" would not be disrupted by the
"impact upon it of events in Palestine."
