APPEAL FOR FUNDS

!

Doctor Suggests Union of

Eight Jewish Consump-

tive Hospitals.

ATLANTIC CITY, N. J.—(J. T.
A.)—The consolidation of eight
national sanatoria devoted to Jew-
ish tuberculars was urged by Dr.
Charles Spivak at the closing ses-
sion of the twenty-third annual
convention of the Jewish Con-
sumptives' Relief Society of Den-
ver, in line with the present move-
ment in Jewish life for co-ordina-
tion between Jewish social agen-
des operating on a national scale.
The co-operative effort of Jewish
tuberculosis sanatoria would ef-
fect many economies in adminis-
tration, provide more and better
facilities for the patients and
stimulate more research work,
Dr. Spivak declared.
The eight national sanatoria
have 1,100 beds, the Denver sana-
torium having over one-fourth of
this number, he stated.
Dr. Burnet Stivelman of the
Y ork health department
New
pointed out the woeful lack of fa- •
citifies for Jewish tuberculars in
New York City and throughout the
Eastern states, declaring that with
the least possible accommodations,
there is a shortage of 51)0 beds in
New York City, and a shortage of
580 beds in the Eastern states. Ile
stated that the branch sanatarium
which the Jewish Consumptives'
Relief Society plans to establish
at Goshen, N. jY., if approved by
the State Board of Charities, will
be a great forward step in fighting
the inroads of tuberculosis among
the Jews of New York.
Rabbi Nathan Kress appealed
for funds to enable the Jewish
Consumptive? Relief Society to
build additional buildings in Den- •
ver as well as in New York. lie
urged a league of all nations of
the world to fight • one common
enemy, disease, and said that all
differences over boundaries, eco-
nomic and racial questions, were
purely artificial issues creating
artificial enemies. Nations should •
go to war, but to war against dis-
ease.
The following trustees, all from
Ih•ver, were elected: Morris Rob-
inson, George Reuler, Louis Stern,
Nathan Striker and Dr. A. S.
Taussig.
An impressive tribute was paid
by Dr. Spivak to the late Yehoash
for his lifelong devotion to the
Denver sanatorium, which he had
helped to establish, and in his
memory his widow was elected
trustee-at-large, a position which
Yehoash himself had occupied.
Over $55,000 in cash was con-
tributed by the ladies' auxiliaries
at the close of the convention. Fol-
lowing an appeal by Louis Stern,
the delegate representing the pa-,
tient s, and a well-known Jewish
journalist, over $1,100 was raised
for the publication of a Yiddish
magazine by the patients.
Resolutions providing for an ex-
tensive building program to ab-
sorb some of the largo waiting list,
and to provide additional modern
equipment and facilities, were
unanimously passed.

Yeshiva Asks For
Maintenance Fund

Dope to Secure Annual Sub-
scriptions for Operat-
ing Expenses,

NEW YORK.— A campaign to
secure $50,000 as a maintenance
funil through increasing the pres-
ent membership income has been
undertaken by the Yeshiva College
Building fund, the organization en-
gaged in erecting the Yeshiva Col-
lege buildings and in extending the
work of the academy. The corner-
stone laying exercises for the new
buildings, held May 1, attracted
nationwide attention and were at-
tended by 50,000 people who lis-
tened to the messages of welcome
of many American colleges and
universities.
According to an announcement
made public yesterda • by Samuel
.esy, chairman of the fund, the
Yeshiva, located at 301 East Broad-
way, has at present an enrollment
of nearly 600 students coming from
several European countries and
from Palestine. The annual bud-
get for the maintenance of the in-
stitution amounts to 1200,000. The
$5,000,000 fund which is now being
raised is intended for the erection
of the new Yeshiva buildings. Con-
gregations and individuals, partic-
larly those whohave madeliberal
contribution, towards the building
fund, are now being canvassed to

wards the maintenance fund.
Four classes of membership were
created. The associate member
Is required to subscribe $10 annual-
IY, a regular member $25, a con-
tributor $50. He who will subscribe
1100 annually will be called a
Patron of the Y eshiva.
In accordance with • resolution
adopted at the National Conference
of Orthodox Congregations held at
the beginning of May in New York

Humorously referring to the diffi-

in getting the preliminary arrenge-

the backing of its millions of dol-
lars. "And he almost did it," Sa-

gone toward furthering his case
against Ford has been his own mon-
ey and that raised through a per-
sonal note.
Sapiro paid tribute to his law-

whom he described as "a blue- eyed
Irishman." Referring to Senator

BRUSH LEAVES HUGE
SUM TO SEMINARY

_

.
NEW YORK.-- IL T. Al—
The Jewish Theological Semi-
nary of America receives $1,-
467,113 under the will of Louis
S. Brush. This amount, Mau-
rice A. Stephenson, deputy com-
missioner of taxation and fi-
nance, reported in the transfer
tax appraisal of Mr. Brush's es-
tate, represented the value of
the residuary estate. Mr. Brush,
who died on NOV. 7, 1926, at
the Park Lane Hotel, left a
gross estate of $1,739,129 and
a net estate of $1,634,233.
Mr. Brush provided in his will
that part of the residuary fund
shall be used by the Jewish
Theological Seminary for the
"education, support and main-
tenance of as many worthy and
capable young men as shall de-
sire to avail themselves, so that
students shall be thoroughly
grounded with Jewish knowl-
edge and inspired through such
knowledge with the love of the
Hebrew language and a spirit
of fidelity and devotion to the
Jewish laws."
Another part of the fund is
to be used for the construc-
tion of a fireproof dormitory.

RABBI LEON FRAM

Wednesday night at the Phila.
delphia-Byron Talmud Torah a
group of Detroit Jews interested
in the cause of Yeshiva College
met at the call of I). W. Simons,
Judge Harry B. Keidan and Rabbi
A. M. Ashiosky. Mr. Simons pre-
sided and those present were
Judge harry B. Keidan, Rabbi A.
M. Ashinsky, Rabbi S. Si. Fein of
the Holbrook shul, Rabbi Isaac
Stollman, A. Jacobs, J. II. Ehrlich,
J. Friedberg, D. Robinson, M. H.
Zackheim, E. Rabinowitz, I. Ro-
senthal, I.. Duscoff, I). S. Zemon,
Louis Grant and J. Wetsman.
The ;meeting had been called to
enable Harris Is Selig, chairman
of the Yeshiva building fund, to
lay the Yeshiva request for funds
before Detroit Jewry. In a spir-
ited address, 51r. Selig presented
the cause of Yeshiva ('allege and
requested that action be taken on
the Proper mode of procedure in
raising $100,000 set as Detroit's
quota.
In the general discussion which
followed, it developed that the
most suitable time for such an ef-
fort would be in the early part of
October and that approximate date
was set. All those present assured
the Yeshiva's s representative of
their active support and it was the
sense of the meeting that those
present constituted the nucleus of
a working committee subject to
the cal! of the chairman.
Opinion MIS unanimous on the
usefulness of the Yeshhiva as a
great Jewish house of learning,
and Mr. Selig was assured that
Detroit Jewry will do its share in
the fall.
The text of Mr. Selig's address,
in part, follows:
"Gentlemen, one of our poets
of the old school once wrote that
the reason why his counsel was not
heeded was because he spoke as
a poet and therefore as a poor
man. Ile asks his readers in one
of his poems to listen to him just
once, not as a poet, but as a rich
man, because, as he explained, a
rich man's word is always heeded.
I conic to you tonight, gentlemen,
in a similar frame of mind. For
the Yeshiva, which I have the
honor to represent, does not come

Mr. Lipsky outlined the pions and
reported on the deliberations of

"About two years ago there was
a storm of protest against an at-
tempted partial exclusion of Jew-
ish students from Harvard univer-
sity. I lived in Boston at that
time so I went to see the officers
and the faculty of the school to
find out the facts and see what
could be done. I went from pro-
fessor to professor getting inter-
views on the situation. One of the
greatest scholars of Harvard, a
non-Jew, was the only one who
game nu) anything like a clear ex-
planation of the whole matter.
What he told me was,in sub-
stance this: Why don't the colleges
of America exclude Catholics? If
Jews are not altogether an wel-
come as they should be in Ameri-
can colleges, neither are Catholics.
Why are not they, too, discrimin-
ated against? Ills answer was:
Because they have colleges of their
own. They have a home. There
are in America 49 Catholic col-

phia and Byron to do honor to
their great leader and hear his
message. Mr. Lipsky's address, In

part, follows:
"It is a very important thing for
the strength of the Zionist move-

ment that something be known
about the things that are be-
ing done with the money that is
being given and it is a very re-
gretable thing that no thought is
being given by most Zionists as to
the distribution of money In Pales-
tine, as to Zionist manifestations
of activity, as to the continuous
propaganda going on, in the way

of meetings and press news.
Those giving money for the cause
show no interest in any of the
things representing Zionist plans.

This leads to confusion in the work
of the Zionists themselves and
makes it very difficult. In time of
campaigns there is no enthusiastic
reception on the part of contribu-

tors.
