The fierce struggle on the continent and the apparent stiff re-
sistance of Russia has in no way lessened the hardships and the
Cruelties inflicted on the Jewish population of Europe according to
reports eminating from reliable sources. Ghetto restrictions are still
strict despite the prevalence of disease and the possibilities of
epidemics. Hungary is following the lead of Germany wherever
and whenever possible. Wholesale massacres of Jews are reported in
Roumania.
-With the next move of Hitler shrouded in mystery there is talk
of nazi marches on Spain and Portugal. If Portugal falls into the
hands of the nazi war machine it
RUMANIAN POPULATION
REPORTED DEVELOPING
SYMPATHY FOR JEWS .
London — Dissatisfaction with
the Germans in Rumania is run-
ning high among the population
there, and sympathy with the
Jews is growing, according to in-
formation received here by Vir-
gil Tilea, former Rumanian Min-
ister in London, and leader of the
will mean the last hope of refuge
will be closed to Western Euro-
pean Jews. The nazi iron hand is
beginning to be felt in Switzer-
land. Rumblings are apparent in
the Reich and the Jews as well as
the majority of conquered peoples
are heartening to the V campaign.
London — There are 2,000,000
Jews now residing in the part of
Poland known as the Government
General, reports Otto Kreig, a
Pincus Juran, president of Con-
gregation Adath Emeth, an-
nounces that Cantor Max Land-
man, recently resigned from
Congregation Adath Yeshurun,
has accepted a call from Congre-
gation Adath Emeth to serve as
cantor. Cantor Landman will as-
sume his duties immediately.
Mr. Juran also announced that
Cantor Landman is making pre-
parations for the first service
which he will conduct at Adath
Emeth, which at the same time
will be broadcast over station
KTRH. This will be the solemn
Selihoth services which is observ-
ed by orthodox Jewry on Satur-
day, September 12, at midnight.
Cantor Landman will be assisted
by a choir which is being trained
by him. Rabbi Josef L. Herbst,
spiritual leader of the Congrega-
tion, will officiate at these serv-
ices.
The officers and membership of
Adath Emeth Congregation are
highly elated over the acquisition
of Rev. Landman. During the
three years the Cantor has been
associated with Congregation
Adath Yeshurun his reputation as
one of the foremost and most

Free Rumanian movement. . M . __
Speaking last night before the * Nazi writer, in an article in Die
Anglo-Palestine Club, Tilea stated ~
that this information reached him
directly from Rumania through a
neutral country. The Rumanian
people, he said, are becoming
sympathetic to the Jews as it is
now obvious that Germans, ra-
ther than Rumanians, are being
placed-in the positions from which
the Jews have been ousted.
The former Rumanian Minister
predicted in his address that Jews
in Rumania will be restored to
their rights when the war is over.
He urged, however, that a mutual
understanding should be reached
war Rumanian government with
regard to the question of “volun-
tary Jewish emigration" from
Rumania. He pointed out that
Lord Melchett, the British Zionist
leader, made a similar proposal
some years ago, when he suggest-
ed the gradual reduction of the
Jewish population in Rumania to
600,000. The emigration of Jews
from Rumania should be under-
taken under a mutual economic
arrangement with the Rumanian
authorities, while the Jews re-
maining in Rumania should be
allowed to share responsibility for
developing the country on an
equal basis with the rest of the
population, Tilea said.

James G. Heller Named Program
i
Head Of Zionist Convention
Washington, D. C.—Edmund I. Kaufmann, President of the
Zionist Organization of America, today announced the appointment
of‘Dr. James G. Heller of Cincinnati, Zionist leader and scholar, as
Chairman of the Program Committee for the 44th Annual Conven-
tion of the Z. O. A., which will be held September 6-9 in the city
of Cincinnati, Ohio.
Rabbi Heller, has recently been elected President of the Central
of American Rabbis ~
Conference
m
and is considered one of the fore,
most figures in the American
Jewish life. He has played a vital
role at former Zionist Conven-
tions and other national parleys
devoted to the upbuilding of the
Jewish Homeland in Palestine. He
is a member of the National Ex-
ecutive of the Zionist Organiza-
tion of America.
Analyzing the vital problems
that will confront the forthcom-
ing Convention, which will be the
most significant gathering in the
history of American Zionism, Dr.
Heller, declared that the post-war
status of Palestine and the re-
moval of “factionalism in Zionist
life” will be the central themes
of the deliberations.
“The forthcoming Convention
, of the Z. O. A. in Cincinnati—he
slated—for which my community

“Where chaos existed eighteen
months ago, there is now order.
The Jews have been taught tid-
iness and the Poles are working
willingly,” Kreig writes.
Kreig's article is but one of
scores seeking to pacify the rest-
less Poles by convincing them of
the permanency, of German oc-
cupation. The Nazis are advertis-
ing a ten-year plan of recon-
struction stressing the develop-
ment of agriculture. The Govern-
ment General plum to construct
many new buildings in Cracow,
including a railway station.
Geneva — The Budapest radio
broadcast a Government announ-
cement confirming reports that
deportatiton of alien Jews from
Hungary to Nazi-held Poland has
been going on for the last fort-
night
Majority of the expelled Jews
are holders of Polish passports
and Jews who were born in Gal-
icia, though residing in Hungary
as long as twenty and more years.
Many came to Hungary from
Vienna and are holders of Aus-
trian passports.
A report of the Jewish Com-
munity of Vienna reaching here
reviews the relief activities of
1940 for Jews in the former Aus-
trian capital. “Over 30,000 of the
approximately 40,000 Jews re-
maining in Vienna are today de-
pendent upon assistance from the
Jewish Community, which pays
rent for families and single per-
sons. makes cash relief grants, and
maintains fourteen soup kitchens
where 12,000 are fed daily,” the
report says.
Thirty-five industrial and‘three
agricultural courses are maintain-
ed by the Kultusgemeinde, the
Jewish Community for profes-
sional training of young people.
In addition there are special
classes which teach language and
other subjects in preparation for
emigration. Until recently 000
children received their education
through a school supported by
the Kultusgemeinde. Lately, the
Kultusgemeinde has also taken
over school with an enrollment
of 1,200. These 1,800 children rep-
resent the entire remaining Vien-
nese population of school age.
Eight homes and institutions
care for 1,700 aged people under
the supervision of the Kultus-
gemeinde. Some 1,500 of these
people are over the age of 70. In
view of the disproportionate
number of aged people in the
Viennese Jewish community, a
high degree of medical care is
needed. Despite a 72 per cent
reduction in the Jewish popula-
tion of Austria, the capacity of
the Jewish Hospital in Vienna has
had to be increased by 20 per
cent More than $050,000 was
placed at the disposal of the Kult-
usgemeinde by the J. D. C. dur-
ing 1940, the report says.
