Stories relating Leah Axelrod Walter Roth to Chicago’s West Side are but an example. Harold T. Berc Recently there came to my attention a book Charles B. Bernstein about another aspect of this immigration, lesser known, and unique. Dr. Irving Cutler The book is titled, “Rachel Calof’s Story––Jewish Homesteader Sheldon Gardner on the Northern Plains” (Indiana University Press, 1955). This book, Elise Ginsparg now available in paperback, contains the diary of Rachel Calof. The Clare Greenberg diary, written in Yiddish, was donated to the American Jewish Daniel Greenberg Archives in Cincinnati where it was discovered many years later and Dr. Adele Hast* translated into English by Rachel’s son Jacob. Rachel Heimovics* Rachel’s memoir focuses on her life in North Dakota, between Janet Iltis 1894 and 1904, with her husband of an arranged marriage. Her Bea Kraus diary recalls in vivid detail the lives of the Jewish pioneers of the Joe Kraus northern plains, utterly impoverished, who attempted to eke out a Seymour Persky living from land granted to them by the Homestead Acts under Muriel Robin Rogers* conditions that defy the imagination. Extended families lived in Norman D. Schwartz* shanties of 12’ x 14’ on dirt floors without any of the usual basic Ethel Shulman necessities of life. Needless to say, the plains of North Dakota were Dr. Milton Shulman an extreme challenge. But the pioneers remained, and Rachel bore Norma Spungen and raised nine children. She and her family withstood the droughts, Dr. N. Sue Weiler hailstorms, and blinding blizzards that ravaged their huts. *Indicates Past President “Rachel Calof’s Story” also contains comments by her son Jacob Chicago Jewish History and several scholars. The central theme of the diary stresses the valor Chicago Jewish History is published and bravery of Rachel and her family, and the preservation of their quarterly by the Chicago Jewish lives as they sought freedom and a livelihood.

  • NEWS LETTER, to Let You Know We Haven't Forgotten SECTION You
    NINETY EDITORIAL ALT. Ninety-Bines, attention! We ask y o u r aid NINE for your Sister Flyers! The recent termination of recruiting and train­ ing of additional Women Airforce Service Pilots (WASP) is a matter of sincere regret to all women pilots. This project opened opportunities for women in aviation which have never before been available and offered women pilots a chance to prove that their performance on military aircraft equalled that of TV male pilots. Unfortunately many girls who had been accepted for the June 30th class did not know of its cancella­ tion until they reached Sweetwater, since telegrams notifying them of the order arrived, in many cases, too late. All Ninety-Nines should be cognizant of the facts leading to this cancellation. The Costello NEWS Bill, H. R. 4219, to give military status to the WASP was reported favorably ty the House Military LETTER Affairs Committee. Subsequent to that report but prior to debate on the floor of the House, the July 15, 1944 Ramspeck Civil Service Committee issued a report on an investigation of the 7JASP program which it LEWS LETTER EDITOR had conducted, recommending immediate discontinu­ ance of training, except for those already enrolled. Bettie Thompson, 724 N. 63rd St., Shortly thereafter, H. R. 4219 was killed by vote Philadelphia 31, Penna. of the House. Deadline - 5th of Each Month The WASPs have been doing a commendable job for the Army Air Forces and it was the desire to continue with the WASP training program as well as NINETY- NINES to give military status to this group.

SIDESTEPPING CONGRESS: PRESIDENTS ACTING UNDER THE UN AND NATOt Louis Fisher' The most striking transformation of the war power over the past fifty years is the extent to which Presidents seek authority not from Congress but from international and regional institutions, particularly the United Nations and the North Atlantic Council. Although this pattern violates the U.S. Constitution and the legisla- tive intent of the UN and NATO, and represents an effort through the treaty process to strip from the House of Representatives its constitutional role in matters of war, the trend is unmistakable and continues its course with little interruption from Congress or the courts. Truman in Korea, Bush in Iraq, Clinton in Haiti and Bosnia-in each instance a President circumvented Congress by relying either on the UN or NATO. President Bush also stitched together a multilateral alliance before turning to Congress at the eleventh hour to obtain statutory authority.

To My Parents PREFACE The birth of the State of Israel on May 15, 1948, marked the climax of a vigorous campaign launched some six years earlier by world Zionism in the Biltmore Pro¬ gram. At the Biltmore Conference the Zionists had reason to proclaim openly their political intentions before the American public. Although political Zionism had long pursued the goal of a Jewish state, only the circumstances of modern history compelled the complete unveiling of Zionist intentions.

  • Than a Single Campaign' 281 After November 2, 1948, Had Long Since Been Reached
    CHAPTER 12 a "More Than Single Campaign" LONG BEFORE election night brought the gloomy tidings of overwhelming defeat to the camp of the Wallace Progressive Party, the decision had already been made that this was not to be a single-campaign party like so many minor contenders of the past. As early as mid-September, Henry A. Wallace had publicly declared that his party was "not going to die out in 1948." In the final week of the fall campaign, the presi- dential nominee had promised that this Progressive Party would stay and expand "until the war for peace and abun- dance is finally won." He continued, "We are not fighting a single campaign. We have organized ourselves into a party that will endure until the American people control this land their work has built." on the the And eve of election, the quasi-official party or- the National gan, Guardian, had pointed out editorially that the for "fight peace" was more than a single battle, that "the Progressive Parry, unlike the two old organizations, had its sights fixed on Wednesday as well as Tuesday. 'First battle in a long war' was the way Wallace put it." Consequently, when Cabell Phillips, writing in the New York Times some weeks after the election, remarked that "the Gideon's Army that Henry A. Wallace led through ten months of spectacular campaigning is bivouacked today on the Plains of Indecision," he was voicing better metaphor than fact. The decision to continue the "fight for peace" 280 9 "More Than a Single Campaign' 281 after November 2, 1948, had long since been reached.
