Continuing the theme of study
for the year, Mrs. Tom White-
head gave a report on the contri-
butions of the Germans to our
American way of life. Tracing the
first arrivals of Germans in
America from the sixteenth cen-
tury, Mrs. Whitehead enumerated
the many cultural contributions
made by them in religion, educa-
tion, journalism, music, and the
arts. Among some of the outstand-
ing leaders she mentioned, Klepius,
a theologian, Peter Zenger, who
fought for freedom of the press,
Carl Bergmann, the first impor-
tant American orchestra conduc-
tor, Carl Schurz, the greatest
German-American, Adolph Ochs,
who made the New York “Times’
.into America’s leading newspaper.
She listed the Wanamakers, the
Rockefellers. Baruch, Wilke,. Wil-
liam Borah, Steinway, Gunther,
Einstein as some of the later Ger-
mans who have contributed so
much to America.

lumbus, Veapucci, Verransano, the
Cabots, and others, Mrs. Alao-
brook listed as occupations in
whieh the Italians engage in thia
country the following: importers
of olive oil, w!he, and prepared
foods, florists, barbers, grocers,
restauranteurs, truck gardening,
masons, and stonecutters. She
mentioned such names as Enrico
Caruso, La Guardia, Jimmy Du-
rante, and Frank Sinatra as some
of these who have contributed to
the arts in America.
The contributions of the Jews
to America was most interesting-
ly discussed by Mrs. Cecil Fay
Donalson. She reviewed briefly the
early history of the Jews with
their coming to the Americas as
early as 1854. She stated that
there were gi-eat migrations of
Jews to America in the nineteen-
th and twentieth centuries, and
that there are about five million
Jews in America.
Contrary to the general belief
that the Jews have functioned
most importantly in business and
the professions, Mrs. Donalson
aaid that ' they have contributed
most to the arts. Especially in
literature, music, and the theatre
have they been leaders. She men-
tioned such writers as Edna Fer-

He said no person was on trial
'n the investigation which j.hus
far has made these points:
1 Smoking regulations aboard
’he Grand Camp were lax and at
least some personnel was not fully
aware of the nature 'of the cargo
which was'being handled, (am-
monium nitrate).'
2. There is doubt regarding the
manner in which officers of the
ship met the problem of fightipg
the fire, which was disedvered at
8:10 a. m. Wednesday, one hour
and two minutes prior to the ex-
plosion.
3. The ammonium nitrate was
