COURT M0SION HELP TO ALIEN RELIEF EFFORTS JewisU^.Resident W\6 "Visited Canada -Needs Coiirt Order to Return
Detroit (J. T. A.).—An important federal district court"decrisionp-granting a restraining- order "permitting! -an alien to return to his family in the United States from Canada and to resume .his business activities in Detroit, ?was handed down here and is considered of value in view of the precedent it establishes in further relieving the.position in which many immigrants find themselves. The restraining oTder was issued by Federal Judge Ernest A. O'Brien in the case of Irwin Rash, who has been a legal resident here since April, 1920. On July 2, 1932, Mr. Bash left for Toronto to visit his parents there. Upon his return three days later he was excluded by the immigration authorities because they were unable to find a record of the payment of his head tax. At three different times the case was reopened and Mr; Rash introduced evidence to show•. that he. had resided here continuously since his original entry in "1920. The bill of complaint filed by his attorneys, Theodore Levin and Nathan L. Milstein, pointed out that the absence of Mr. Rash's record of arrival may be due to its' loss or destruction and does not warrant the exclusion of a resident alien returning from a brief visit in Canada. The attorneys pointed out also that in cases of this kind Congress provided that the Secretary of Labor shall have discretion to re-admit the returning alien. It was Mr. Levin's contention that the Secretary of Labor abused his discretion in failing to re-admit Mr. Sash, especially in view of the registry Act of 1929, which permits* ah alien to legalize his residence if be has lived here continuously since June 3, 1921. During the hearing the government was represented by Assistant Dis.trict Attorney Louis M. Hopping. Following the issuance of the restraining order, Mr. Rash was permitted to return to the United States to join his wife, and daughter, who was born in Cleveland. •: '•

PROF. EINSTEIN OFFEREDLIFE HERE Report U. S. Institute for Advanced Study Makes • Him Proposition Berlin {J. T. A.).—Professor Albert Einstein, wjofcld\ famous physiastr*;ha83>eeii invited to'join the staff of the Institute for Advanced Study in the United States as a life member. The • Institute for Advanced Study was established through a $5,000,000 endowment fund created by Mrs. Felix Fuld, widow of the late Jewish philanthropist and her brother, Louis Bamberger of Newark, N. J., for the advancement of the. study of human relations. The institute is headed by Dr. Abraham Flexner. . Professor Einstein, it is learned, has reached no decision on the matter as yet. " Should he accept the post, it would necessitate his spending five months a year with the institute, although the nature of his work will not be limited. It is expected that in such an eventuality he would settle in Princeton with his assistant, Dr. Walter Mayer. Professor Einstein is still considering the invitation extended him by Mount Wilson Observatory to extend his work there. It is believed that should he refuse the Mount Wilson observatory invitation, he will accept the invitation of the Institute for Advanced Study. In connection with the latter proffer, Professor Einstein is said to have made a gesture typical of his absorption in his work and his indifference to material rewards. When asked the salary he would expect to' receive from the institute he named a sum so small, the institute replied it could not be bound by his wishes. The institute insisted upon naming a larger stipend, stating that a lesser would be under the standards of the organization.
Montreal (J. T. A.).—The antiSemitic Goglu publication, "Le Miroir," devotes its current issue once again to attacks upon the Jews, reiterating its blood ritual murder libel against the Jews, and calls upon anti-Semites throughout the world to use stamps with slogans as. the symbol of their union against the "Jewish pest." The paper devotes the larger part of a page to a .display of slogans for the anti-Semitic stamps, which call for a boycott against the Jews and accuse the Jews of Communism, and responsibility for the depression. Typical examples of the slogans are:•- "Jews Are Responsible for the Misfortune of Russia, Spain and Mexico. Drive Them From Quebec!" ~ "To Abolish War, Eradicate the Jews! War Enriches Only the Jews!" "The Jews Are an . Asiatic Race, a. Combination of the • Yellow; and Black Bases.

Last Monday these speed courts imposed the death penalty upon five Nazis for torturing to death a young Communist. There is no appeal from the decisions of _ these courts except the government itself, according:to the emergency order. . - _ The Nazis, led by Hitler,.threatened reprisals, and in reply the government issued a manifesto declaring that the severest penalties for political violence would be invoked against "every lawbreaker, regardless of person or party." The incident causing these rapidfire events was in no way connected with the Jewish situation - in Germany, but since Naji acts".of terror-, ism have been directed .at Jews as forcibly as against Communists, they are vitally concerned with the outcome.
