LinrK for Memory There's the story about the palm reader in Germany who was reading a certain "aryan's" hand. "This line shows that you love our Fuehrer and are in favor of our war effort." He continued reading ev ry line in hi" palm with similar interpretations. Next day the palm reader had his client arrested as a traitor to the Reich. "But yesterday you said I was a true Nazi." cried the bewildered client. "Quite true." said the palmist.

"But. in your case, I didn't like what I read between the lines" I-onold Ktssler, publisher of the London Jewish Chronicle and now in New York Notable Quotes OF THE WEEK Table Talk as the cornerstone of enlightened civilization." Governor Herbert H. Lehman. sors in recent years has been the study of the newest science called "semantics" A science devoted to the meaning of our verbal symbols A science of accurate thinking Mr. S.

I- Hayakawa, a Canadian of Japan-esee descent and formerly of the University of Wisconsin, has now brought this science to the general reader in a popular, delightful form His new book, "Language in by Harcourt, Brace and company and selected by the Book-of-the-Month club as one of the two best books of this month proves best how confused thinking is responsible for anti-Jewish and other prejudices In his effort to show how clear thinking leads to understanding and cooperation, Hayakawa takes the word "Jews" as an example "Mr. Miller is a Jew" accurate thinking, would naturally realize that their minds are blocked And it is to guide them to accurate thinking that Mr. Hayakawa has written this book. Purely Personal Heartiest congratulations to our friend Dr. Maurice Karpf on the occasion of his being elected to the post of Executive Director of the Los Angeles Jewish Community Council a i i Federation of Jewish Welfare Agencies Dr.

Karpf will be missed by many in New York where he established a well-deserved grat reputation for himself as director of the Graduate School for Jewish Social Work and as one of the leading in the Council and Administrative committee of the Jewish Ag-rcv We 11 i Pan-American There was lots of fun at the Inter-American Jewish Conference in Baltimore Especially when Sumner Welles delivered his address there The Undersecretary of State was obviously ignorant of the fact that Dr. Stephen Wise and the other originators of the conference are opposed to the scheme of settling Jews in the Dominican Rpublie Furthermore, he went out of his way to jfive special credit to James N. Rosenberjj, Dr. Joseph Rosen, and other leaders of the DC who are known opponents of the World Jewish Congress and of the idea to convoke an inter-American Jewish Sratherinir. The platform of the American Jewish Congress suddenly became a tribute from where the very best publicity was piven to the adversaries of the Congress on a subject not supported by the Congress And, to add injury to insult, the address by Sumner Welles was the only one to be broadcast on a nation-wide hookup.

In vain was the effort of Mrs. Archibald Silverman to describe the So-sua settlement as a failure Mrs. Silverman, who just visited the Jewish settlement in the Dominican Republic, gave a gloomy picture of the experiment She, however, did not impress the delegates for whom the words of Sumner Welles meant much more than hundreds of speeches by plain mortals Dr. Stephen Wise, embarrassed by the fighting spirit with which Mrs. Silverman greeted Sumner Welles' speech, tried to elegantly back out of the embarrassing situation Both, the Undersercetary of state and Mrs.

Silverman have laid a baby at the door of the Inter-American Conference, he said Laughingly he added that the was not the product of Sumner Welles and Mrs. Silverman. Table Talk We hear that David Ben Gurion may meet William Bullitt prior to the latter's leaving for the middle east as Roosevelt's special ambassador With the arrival of Ben Gurion in America, talks have been resumed between the Zionist and non-Zionist leaders in the United States regarding various problems concerning Palestine In one of the large New York hotels a private dinner was given to a select group of Jewish leaders at which Ben Gurion spoke of British-Jewish relations and the prospects for Palestine in the present war situation Present at this dinner were not only leaders of the ZOA but also people affiliated with the American Jewish Committee, the B'nai B'rith and other non-Zionist bodies The presence of Ben Gurion in America coupled with the expected arrival of Dr. Weizmann here in December will make the United States the center from where Zionist political work may be directed In this connection it is expected that a pro-Palestine conference may soon be convoked in America which will be different than a Zionist convention. The Military Front While the British government refuses the establishment of a Jewish army, it is worth-while to note that the idea of the formation of Jewish military units to liberate Palestine goes as far back as the 12th century In the 16th century David Reubeni offered Emperor Charles a military alliance of Oriental Jews to fight the Turks In the first half of the 17th century attempts were made by Jews to enlist the cooperation of England in the liberation of Palestine In 1799, while standing at the gates of Jerusalem, Napoleon himself issued an appeal to the Jews of Asia and Africa to join his arrny and march under his banner in order to secure possession of their ancestral soil A similar proposal was advanced in Crarist Russia in 1826 In 1867 Louis Napoleon formed two Jewish battalions in the Netherlands Not to speak of the "Jewish Legions" which fought with the British on the Eastern front during the First World War All these and other interesting facts concerning the history of Jewish military units have just been made public by the Institute of Jewish Affairs in a special study on the problem of a Jewish army.

Miller is not the kind of person one likes to meet socially, although, of course, one cannot help running into "Jews" in business Habitually confused in their way of think ig, such "Christians" consider that Mr. Miller is a man "not to be trusted" If Mr. Miller succeeds in business, that "proves" that "Jews are smart" If Mr. Johnson succeeds in business, it only proves that Mr. Johnson is smart If Miller is strange or foreign in his habits, that "proves" that "Jews don't assimilate" If he is thoroughly American and indistinguishable from other Americans, "he is trying to pass himself off as one of us" If he fails to give to charity, that is because "Jews are tight;" if he gives generously, he is "trying to buy his way into society" If he lives in a Jewish section of town, that is because "Jews are so clannish;" if he moves to a locality where there are no other Jews, that is because "they try to horn in everywhere" In short, Mr.

Miller is automatically condemned, no matter what he does.
