The series opened with a broadcast in the Bulgarian language denouncing the Jews in the usual Nazi terms and stressing that "the struggle against Jewry is in general indivisible. It is impossible to make an exception for the Jews of Bulgaria," the broadcast continued. "There can be no question of any limitation of the anti-Jewish policy or any justification for tolerance or mercy."

At the time, Jewish machinists were rare in America, especially in the automobile manufacturing field.

The employment insurance system should be broadened and liberalized. Finally the U.

S. should support international arrangements for the settlement of short-term balances without precipitating financial crises; the U. S. should also reduce the tariff and thereby help to increase world economic and political stability, promote world trade, and stimulate U. S.

investment abroad. These are the main thesis of Stein's plan. It contains much that is strikingly similar to the Baruch-Hancock plan, recently prepared for the U. S. Government, and there is a good deal that is entirely new and original.

Polish Government Asked to Act to Halt Extermination of Jews London (JTA) Urgent measures by the Polish Government to halt the extermination of Hungarian and other Jews in Poland were asked by Dr. Ignacy Schwarzbart, Jewish deputy, in an address in the Polish National Council.

About 100 servicemen attended this patriotic celebration.

The program consisted of an afternoon of billiards, table tennis, bowling, cards, games and dancing. A hot supper was served at 6 o'clock.

degree. That's when the money will be a godsend." The Major Thesis of His Plan The main thesis of Stein's plan is that, in order to attain full time employment after the war, the level of output has to be about 40 per cent higher than it was in 1939, and that can best be accomplished by stimulation of private expenditure and private enterprise. Government spending as an instrument of economic stabilization should be held down to a minimum. He proposes the following specific policies to provide stable full employment: 1. Remove some of the basic uncertainties which repress the general level of private expenditure and, particularly, private capital expenditure.

2. Remove the powerful factors Kirstein Chair at Harvard University Boston (JTA) Creation of a Louis E. Kirstein professorship in Human Relations at the Harvard Graduate School of Business Administration was announced here by James B. Conant, president of the University.

Myra Dietor and Helen Leosch were the co-chairmen of the party committee. Plans are now being made for an annual picnic or beach party for the servicemen to be held sometime in July. The Victorette Service Club was organized primarily to help the war effort as much as possible and to help each serviceman during and after the war. They have averaged a party a month for the servicemen besides doing Red Cross work, War Bond drives and Blood Donation.

He solved the problem by becoming a dishwasher in a fraternity house. He was graduated from Williams at the age of 20, and that same year his alma mater published Herbert's first lenghty study on "Government Price Policy in the U.

S. During the World War." He was, thus, a full-fledged economist at the age of 20. Washington Call For the next two years Herbert Stein was at the graduate school of the University of Chicago perfecting his knowledge of economic theories and principles. In 1938, he was called for a Government job in Washington, and accepted. He started out with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, then went to work for Leon Henderson under the National Defense Advisory Commission in July 1940, and finally, in January 1942, ended up with the War Production Board.

Personal Future I asked him about the Pabst contest. "There was a lot of discussion in the office about it," he told me, "the idea appealed to me and I decided to try. You see, for years, I have nurtured the major ideas set forth in my plan, but have never set them down on paper. I felt that they were not ripe, but here was opportunity to find out. It took only three or four evenings to prepare.

No, I did not even dream they were good enough to carry off the first prize, but I was hoping for one of the lesser prizes." which discriminate against the assumption of risk. 3.
