Passover Celebrations Across Community and Military
The Passover festival begins with home observances as Jewish families retell the Exodus in song and ritual. Meanwhile, tens of thousands of matzah and haggadahs are distributed to service members and posts, with furloughs granted to Jewish troops and hospital patients. Immigrant Aid hosts a Bilis Island Passover supper with remarks by Weizmann Einstein and Bernstein. The Chicago Baseball Club canceled a snowed out game. California boosters may push for MLB relocation.

In New York on April 22 Mrs Heler Hlwood Stokes denied from the witness stand charges of misconduct with three co-respondents named by W. S. Z. Stokes in his divorce suit. She and the elderly plaintiff faced off as testimony revealed past relationships, a Denver hotel room mix up, and a claimed motive to challenge his first wife. The court heard her describe the Estes Park trip, nurse denials, and a tense exchange over Roosevelt studio scenes and a painting.
