Bulgarians Did Not Give Up A Single Jew
Student Barred For Beating Jew
As a result of the attack made last May on a Jewish resident at Iowa City, Iowa, a former State University of Iowa student, who dropped out of school last August, has been barred from re-entering the university.
C. Woody Thompson, dean of student affairs, refused to identify the former student who has been allowed thirty days in which to appeal from the decision to the faculty committee on discipline.
The beating of Elihu Stamm Cooper, teacher in a Hebrew school, was not made public until last sum-,mer. Cooper was attacked by two 'men, who had been making disparaging remarks about Jews in an Iowa City restaurant
The identification of the two men who attacked Cooper was determined only recently by an agent for the Iowa State Bureau of Criminal Investigation, Dean Thompson said.
The State Bureau was called into the investigation on the theory that the attack was the out-growth-ef anti-Semitic feelings at the State University. After the investigation, &. W. Hi

Christian Urges True Story Of Jew
No story of a people has for centuries been so completely "misinterpreted and so completely misread" as has the story ofcthe Jewish people, the Rev. Karl M. Chwor-owsky said in his sermon at the Flatbush Unitarian Church of Brooklyn, 1901 Beverly Road, Brooklyn, N.Y.
"We can start today in our churches and church-schools to teach Jewish history as it is, not as Christian theologians have distorted it," he said. "We can begin now to teach that Jewish history is older, much older than we believed and that it is richer, much richer than we have been told, and that Jews are people like other people. ..."
"Not until we have emptied our minds of the traditional 'fiction about the Jew' and substituted therefor the 'true story of the Jew' will the necessary understanding and appreciation of Jewish genius and Jewish history be achieved."

Of all the occupied countries, Bulgaria is the only one that can boast of not having sacrificed u single Jewish victim to the Nazi Jew-baiters, says a writer in the London Jewish Chronicle. One of the first Nazi measures following the arrival of their Army was to demand the restriction of Jewish rights and the transportation of the Jewish population to the port of Lorn, on the Danube. The Government subserviently issued a law abolishing Jewish rights. In my capacity as the Jewish Chronicle representative, I requested an audience of the late King Boris, and was immediately received. To my categorical questions, the King replied equally categorically, and sincerely. One of his most significant statements was (I record it verbatim): "My dear M. Pipanov, convey my respects to The Jewish Chronicle. I know your father well. He rendered innumerable and signal services to Bulgarja during the first world war. I also had the honour of knowing your late grandfather, the Chief Rabbi. I tell you quite frankly that I shall not permit a single hair of the head of a Jew to be harmed. There are restrictions and Maws' which I am forced to accept, but I do so only for the good of the Jewish people, with the aim, by means of these laws, of protecting them from the extermination demanded by the Germans."
And, in fact, if the Jewish population has been protected, if it has suffered but not been slaughtered, it is thanks to the friendship shown by the Bulgarian people. The
Church, the Army, the progressive elements of the nation as a whole �all helped to save the Jews from annihilation.
At first, the Jews of Sofia were collected in certain provincial towns, and forced to wear "Jewish" armlets, and the men, were mobilized in labour camps. But not a single Jew was surrendered to the Germans. It is true that some Bulgarian officials used the opportunity to seize Jewish property, and that anti-Jewish malcontents sought to arouse anti-Semitism. But it is true also that the Bulgarian people, from peasant to intellectual, all offered help in some measure. The peasants gave asylum to Jewish fugitives, and many Bulgarians saved Jewish property by pretending to acquire it.
In June, 1944, M. Bagrianov came to power, and the yellow armlet was abolished. The revolution of September, 1944, brought the abolition of all anti-Jewish restrictions and the restoration of Jewish rights. Since then, successive Governments have established Jewish equality on all counts.
To-day, there are ,two Jewish deputies in the National Assembly; Dr. Nissim Mevorah, a Jewish Professor of the University of Sofia, has been appointed Minister Plenipotentiary to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs; and Jews are fully active in other spheres of public life. Jewish property has been restored intact; and SO million leva has beet) voted to aid Jewish communal organizations. The Jews are truly grateful to the Bulgarian people who, by their decisive ac-

"THE MUSKRAT" after a painting by Audrey McNau^hton
With its under-water entrance, the home of the muskrat shelters Kim from most oi hi* enemies�but not from the trapline. Closed seasons have been declared by each province to prevent over-trapping. Intelligent, far-sighted trappers realize the importance of observing thes� laws in order that a rich harvest of muskrat fur, the raw material of 'Hudson Bay Seal', may be reaped year after year.
* 'The closing of the fall season for muskrat gave the animals the protection of a shortened open season, and at the same time increased the value of the annual catch by eliminating unprime
fall skins."
