Sternberg Declares
Arbitration Court
Is Ready T9 Start

All the- necessary preliminaries
have been completed and the new
Jewish arbitration court is ready to
function, Samuel Sternberg, direc-
tor of the court, announced early
this week. The court is the second
of its kind in the city that is open
to the general public, the other one
being sponsored by the Board of
Commerce. There are, however, 12
arbitration courts in the city that
are available only to the members
of particular groups or associa-
tions.
The court will be conducted an-
tler the supervision of A. C. Lappin,
honorary director, Samuel Stern-
weir, active director, and an arbi-
tration committee composed of Ber-
nard Ginsburg, chairman, Julian
William Friedman, Morris
D. Waldman, Abraham Srere, Zel-
la Himelhoch, Nathan Gross, and
A. C. Lappin.
Under the rules adopted for the
regulation of the court, regular
sessions will be held from 7:30 to
2:30 o'clock every Tuesday and
Thursday night in the Detroit Com-
munity Fund building, 51 West
Warren avenue. Special sessions
may be arranged for other times
and places.
Under the present laws, the jur-
isdiction of the new arbitration
body will be just as extensive as
that of any of the courts. Any die-
pate may he settled by arbitration,
providing it is subject to civil ac-
tion in court, except those relating
to estates in fee or for life, in real
estate. An arbitration court has
power to handle matters arising in
any state, and. if necessary, hear-
logs may be held through corms-
pondence. The findings may be en- ,
tered on the regular court records.
There may be one or more arbi•
tern, as the parties mutually agree.
Both parties must agree on all mat-
ters with reference to the selection
of each of these mbn. If there
are two or more, the decision of the
majority, if such can be arrived at,
is binding. All hearings are pri- I
vote, except by mutual consent. !
The rules provide that the award
shall he made within 10 days after I
the final hearing. unless the time is
extended by mutual agreement. In
no event shall the total period of
such extensions exceed 30 days
from the date of the final hearing.
The director, together with the
chairman of the arbitration corn-

LIPSKY OBJECTS TO
BRANDEIS' TERMS

ATLANTIC CITY, N. J.—(J.
A.)—With serious problems con-
fronting the Zionist movement the
world over, particularly affecting
the situation in Palestine, and em-
phasizing the urgent need of reor-
ganization in the American organ-
ization, the annual convention of
the Zionist Organization of Amer-
ica, marking the thirtieth anniver-
sary of its existence, went into sea.
sion late Sunday afternoon at the
Chelsea hotel here.
Seven hundred and fifty-six',
delegates, representing numerous
Zionist districts and regions, as
well as contributors to the United
l'alestine Appeal and Hadassah,
the Women's Zionist Organization
of Amerka, were in attendance.
Of this number 427 represented
Zionist districts, 258 Hadassah,
the Order Sons of Zion and 37 rep-
resenting United Palestine Appeal
contributors who were given rep-
resentation by special invitation of
the administration.
Although no official pronounce-
meet was made to that effect, re-
ports circulated by leaders of
a recently formed oppositional
group, gave the impression to the
tielegates that a return of Louis
I). Brandeis, associate justice of
the United States supreme court,
was an immediate possibility, pro-
vided that certain conditions are
met. These reports gave rise to
heated discussion which found ex-
pression in lobby conversations in
caucuses called by groups of dele-
gates, who were adherents either
of Oaf administration or of the'
oppositional group. The group was
said to be headed by Emanuel
Neumann, executive chairman of
the United Palestine Appeal, and
member of the administrative con-'
mittee of the Zionist Organization
of America.
It was stated that a month ago
Mr. Neumann submitted his resig-
nation from the administrative
committee due to differences which
had arisen between him and the
committee. Others who were iden-
tified with the opposition were Is-
rael Goldberg, publicity director of
the United Palestine Appeal, and
Morris Zeldin, New York director
of the United Palestine Appeal. It
appeared that discussions caused
by the opposition would lead to a
marked division in the ranks of
the Zionist membership.
A calming influence in this di-
rection was the message received
by the convention from Felix M.
Warburg. The message of Mr.
Warburg read, in part, as follows:
"Regretting my inability to be

RABBI M. ZIELONKA
IS GUEST OF HONOR

The fifty-ninth annual conven-
tion of District Grand Lodge No.
6, Independent Order of B'nal
B'rith, will open Sunday afternoon
in th e Crystal ballroom of the
hotel Stotler.

Pisgah Lodge No. 34, I. 0.
B. 13., held its semi-annual elec-
tion of officers Monday night.
The following were elected:
Samuel Sternberg, president;
Henry M. Abramovitz, first vice-
president; Morris Shatzen, sec-
ond vice-president; henry L.
Lieberman, third vice - presi-
dent; Philip Ettinger, treasurer;
harry Yudkoff, secretary; Abe
LenhofT, warden; Rudolph Mey-
ersohn, guardian, and Silas
Feinberg, assistant monitor.
The new officers will be for-
mally installed Monday, July 11.

Two hundred and eighty-seven
delegates, from Indiana, Illinois,
Wisconsin, Minnesota, North and
South Dakota. Iowa, Nebraska and
Michigan and the three central
Canadian provinces are expected
to attend, as are more than 500
other visitors and guests. A re-
ception committee of 100 men and
50 women will be on duty to greet
the delegates all day Sunday, start-
ing at 8 o'clock in the morning.

The outstanding features of the
convention will be a concert by the
only B'nai B'rith Symphony or-
chestra in the country, what will
probably be the most beautiful and
.impressive initiation ceremony
ever held by any fraternal order,
and a convention excursion to Put-

in-ph
aey. concert by the local sym-
The
phony will be the first general
event on the convention program.
Under the direction of Prof. Mark

Gunsburg, the orchestra will pre-
sent an all-Jewish program at 2:30
o'clock Sunday afternoon in the

Crystal ballroom of the Hotel

ter.

&at-

The convention proper will be
formally opened at 7 o'clock Sun-
day night with addresses of wel-
come by Adolph Freund, Mayor
Smith, Governor Green, Bishop
Gallagher and Reverend Hough,
and a response by a grand lodge
official. Julius. M. Kahn of Chi-
cum will deliver his formal mess-
age as president of the district
grand lodge.

At 3 o'clock Monday afteinoon,
the convention will be addressed
by Rabbi Martin Zielonka of El
Paso, Texas, the guest of honor of
the convention, who came into na-
tional prominence through his
handling of the serious situation
of the Jews in Mexico. He will
speak on "The B'nai B'rith and
the Mexican Problem."
After Rabbi Zielonka's address
the delegates will visit the 'S i nai
B'rith Community Center, Pisgah
being the only B'nai B'rith lodge
I in the world that has its own home.
There a memorial service will be
held, with Rabbi A. I,. Laasim of
Chicago officiating. Cantor Elijah
Zaludkowski will render several
musical selections, assisted by
Prof. Mark Gunsburg.
After the memorial services, pic-
tures will be taken in front of the
center by the Detroit News Pic-
torial and the official convention
photographers. At 9 o'clock Mon-
day night, an informal dance will
be held in the Crystal ballroom of
the Hotel Stotler,
The most important feature of
the program for Tuesday, and
probably of the entire convention,
will be the initiation of the Ber-
nard Ginsburg convention class of
more than 200 candidates at 8
o'clock Tuesday night in the Scot-
tish Rite auditorium of the new
Masonic Temple. The combination
of the magnificent new Masonic
Templ e and what will undoubtedly
•be the most stupendous ceremonial
ever presented by any fraternal
order should produce an effect
of indescribable power. Aaron
Droock, Bernard Ginsburg, Rabbi
A. M. Ashinsky and Henry Monsky
will take part in the program im-
mediately following the initiatory
exercises. The public is cordially
invited to attend this initiation
ceremony.
The concluding event of the con-
vention will be the all.d.ly excur-
sion to Put-in-Bay on the steamer
Put-in-Bay, which will leave the
dock at the foot of First street at
9 o'clock Wednesday morning.
There will be dancing and enter-
tainment both on the boat and on
the island. A number of games
and contests have been planned
for the island, including the cham-
pionship baseball game between
the B'nai B'rith and Knights of
The Put-in-Bay
