rejected appeals against sen-
tences meted out to persons con
victed of responsibility for, or

in Rumania, which was handed
down against ten of the defen-

FAMED “CANTOR OF THE RHETTO” TO PRESENT
CANTORIAL CONCERT SUNDAY, APRIL 3, 8:00p.m.
Hollywood-bound to do a motion picture for M. G.
M., Cantor Bela Herskovits will stop off at Houston April
3rd to sing a CANTORIAL CONCERT at the San Ja-
cinto High School Auditorium.
Before his concert, Bela Herskovits will appear as
guest cantor at Congregation Beth Yeshurun, Friday
night and Saturday morning, April 1st and 2nd.
This Troubador of God, the former Chief Cantor of
Budapest, is a survivor of many Hungarian ghettos. A
recent arrival to this country, he has already become as
famous in America as he had been among his fellow-suf-
ferers in ghettos and concentration camps where his glor-
ious voice and his profound faith made them for many
dark hours forget the terrors surrounding them. For this
he has been proclaimed as the “Cantor of the Ghetto.”
Born in Budapest to a family of renowned Rabbis and
a scion of the wondrous mystic and Rabbi, the famous
Maharal of Prague, Bella Herskovits studied Hebrew Cul-
ture and Talmudic Lore from his scholary father and his
brother, who is the Chief Rabbi of Budapest.
Bela Herskovits is one of the few gifted artists whose
voice combines the dramatic grandeur of a heroic tenor
with a register of three octaves and the captivating sweet-
ness of falsetto, piano, $nd thrilling coloratura.
International fame and recognition for his rare musi-
cal talents and great cantorial art came to Cantor Bela
Herskovits when soon after his thirtieth birthday he was
called to serve as the Chief Cantor of the greatest congre-
gation in Budapest, where he was hailed as the worthy
successor of Kwartin, Bachman and Lazarus, the greatest
Cantors of his native Hungary.
Bela Herskovits is also a composer of note and has
written the music for “Moses” and “God Is One,” two
great dramas produced in the leading theatres of Europe
He is also a journalist of merit, having contributed many
articles for leading European Journals on religion, art,
Jewish melody and philosophy.

CATHOLIC PROFESSORS
ATTACK DR. WISTS CHARGE
THAT LARGEST CHRISTIAN
CHURCH ”18 FOR WAR”
WASHINGTON, (JTA) — A
statement by Rabbi Stephen S.
Wise, veteran Jewish leader
and Rabbi of the Free Syna-
gogue that “the largest of Chris
tion churches is unequivocally
for war,” was denounced here
this week as “false and malic-
ious” by 10 professors .at the
Catholic University of Ameri-
ca. In a statement issued thru
the University's public relations
bureau, the professors called the
“attention of all Americans,
Jewish, Christion and others
.....to the false and malic-
ious character of the state-
ment of Rabbi Ctephen S. Wise
upon the Catholic Church and
war.”
Dr. Wise made his statement
in a sermon from his pulpit
The subject of his sermon, a
protest over the censorship exe-
cuted over the Protestant clergy
men from the Holy Trinity
Church of Brooklyn for the
fact that one was connected
with the Council for American-
Soviet Friendship. Dr. Wise
stated that the two clergymen
see what “I clearly and sor-
rowfully see— that the largest
of Christian churches is un-
equivocally for war; that it is
using its great influence to war
upon the atheism — I do not
say godlessness,—of the Soviet
regime.”
