against Shalom Schwartzbard,
slayer of Semion Petlura, in re-
venge for the anti-Jewish massa-
cres in the Ukraine between 1918
and 1920 under the Petlura re-
gime, whose trial began Tuesday
before Judge Flory. The article ,
provide for the death penalty with
the possibility of the jury recom-
mendation for commutation of
sentence to imprisonment.
The official act of indictment as
published here denies Petlura's
guilt and charges that Schwartz-
bard committed the act with pre-
meditation motivated by malice.
Charge Willful Murder.
The opening of the trial of the
Ukrainian Jew, a French citizen,
for the slaying of the one-time
head of the Ukrainian Republic,
following the crumbling of im-
perialistic Russia, holds the atten-
tion of the French press and pub-
lic and is followed with keen in-
terest by the Jewish communities
in Europe. The act of indictment,
in attempting to clear the name of
Semion Petlura, expresses doubt
in the statement of Schwartzbard
that he committed the set on his
own initiative and that he had no
accomplices.
The indictment recounts the
shooting of Petlura by Schwartz-
bard on May 25, 1925. when the
latter was leaving a Paris res-
taurant and charges that Sehwartz-
bard "willfully murdered Petlura
with malice aforethought."
Press Divided.
The Echo de Paris published a
long article accusing Schwartzbard
of Bolshevism and protesting
against the introduction of ter-
rorism into France. The paper
asks for strong condemnation of
Schwartzbard's act.
On the other hand, Le Petit Pa-
risien and L'Oeuvre recount the
story of Schwartzbard's slaying of
Petlura in an impartial manlier,
giving many details of the anti-
Jewish massacres in the Ukraine.
Einstein to Testify.
Professor Albert Einstein, Leon
Blum, Professor Victor Basch and
Solomon Reinach will be called as
witnesses by the Shalom Schwartz-
bard defense. Maxim Gorky, who
intended to appear as a witness,
will be prevented from coming to
Paris due to illness. Ile will send
his testimony by mail.
The Schwartzbard defense com-
mitte considers Schwartzbard's
trial a Jewish matter because the
Ukrainian circles are denying the
occurrence of the pogroms and the
culpability of Petlura, accusing
Schwartzbard of Bolshevism.

cause of .Isaish education through-
out the United States.
In his statement in the present
-.rate of Jewish education in De-
troit, Dr. Leo M. Franklin, spirit-
ual head of Temple Beth El, said:

"Detroit Is Fortunate."

"Here in Detroit we are particu-
' larly fortunate in that all of our
young people,—whatever shade of
religious opinion they or their par-
ruts may represent, have available
ti them the means of acquiring a
Jewish education. For those of
liberal tendency we have what is
•said to be not only the largest but
; the best equipped Jewish School of
Religion in this country.
Many
!thousands of dollars are annually
, spent upon this institution, which
.provides not merely for the educa-
tion of children but of adults as
well. For those who prefer the
conservative interpretation of Ju-
deism, we have a system of Hebrew
I schools, known as the United He-
I brew Schools, that in equipment
and in educational efficiency takes
!second place to none in this coun-
try. The purpose of Jewish educa-
' tion is in the best sense of the
term a community problem, and
therefore the cause deserves and
should have the moral and the ma-
terial support of the entire Jewish
community.
"Practically all the congregations
in the city have their religious
schools and there are many private
schools of more or less efficient
character scattered throughout De-
troit. If therefore, our people fail
to avail themselves of the opportun-
it). fur Jewish education that is
thus offered to them and their chil-
dren, it betokens' on their part an
indifference which would be very
difficult for them to justify. One
good teacher in the community will
do more for the salvation of Juda-
ism than a dozen attacks upon the
ramparts of anti-Semitism. We
need to meet our problem from
within rather than from without.
If in our children we implant the
loyalty and the enthusiasm and the

Zaskheim Gives Views.
M. H. Zackheim in his statement
emphasized the duty of the parent
and Jewish education as a source
of happiness to the child. Ilia state-
ment follows:
"It is a well known fact that the
Jewish family ties are stronger
those that of s any- other nationality
or race. Jewish parents are ready
to sacrifice themselves and their
means to see their children happy.
"The Jew has always known that
in order to give happiness to his
children he had to give them a Jew-
ish education. For ignorance, and
particularly ignorance of Judaism,
was a reproach. Many Jewish par-
ents deprived themselves of the
very means of their bodily suste-
nance and paid for the education
of their sons. The Jew in the old
world knew the value of .lewish ed-
ucation and what great part it
played in his well-being. But what
a contrast do we see here in Amer-
ica! Jewish parents are willing
and ready to make great sacrifices
for the happiness of their children,
but they overlook the very essen-
tial basis fur their happiness.

Beth El College
Opens On Monday

Rabbi Leon Fram, Director,
Announces New Courses
For Third Season.

The first session of the third sea-
son of Beth El College of Jewish
Studies takes place Monday night,
Oct. 2-I.
The hour between seven and
eight will lie devoted to registra-
tion. There will be a brief opening
assembly between eight and eight-
thirty, and immediately thereafter
the students will go to their regu-
lar classes. It has been the custom
of the college to have very little
opening ceremony and begin earn-
est work at the very first session.
Some of the classes at the col-
lege may be termed professional.

calling on the members of the
boards of the various bodies affili-
ated with the union to co-operate
in a special intensive effort that is
being made during the month of
November to secure adequate sup-
port fur the work of the union.
In this statement Mr. Brown an-
nounces that $150,000 is to be
raised in addition to the income to
meet the deficit of the current and
following years. Every member is
asked to organize his community,
to get squarely behind the union
finances.
"The particular problem con-
fronting us is to raise our income
by $150,000 in order to meet the
deficit of this year and the abso-
lutely necessary expansion of next
year," said Mr. Brown in his mes-
sage.
"There will be working in this
one great effort the alumni of the

organization covering the entire

Last Year From Jews
Of America.

"That Man Heine" will be the
subject of Rabbi Leon Framat lec-
ture Sunday morning, Oct. 23.
The lecture is suggested by the
appearance of a new biography of
Heinrich Heine under the title
"That Man Heine," by Lewis
Browne, which has been given the
special distinction of being desig-
nated an the October book of the
Literary Guild.
Rabbi Fram discussed Heine and
his work and his place in Jewish
history in the course in "Modern
Jewish History," which he gave at
B e th El College last year.
As Heine was a convert to
('hriatianity, the whole problem of
Jewish apostasy and assimilation
is involved in the story of his life
and it is primarily from this v:ew-
point that Rabbi From will discuss
the subject.
An added interest is attached to
the lecture by the fact that Mr.
Browne himself is to he here in the
very near future to defend his own
peculiar view-point on Jewish his-
tory and religion with which Rabbi
Fram has so frequently taken is-

Wants Endorsement,

"I am here in order to try to
persuade the committee in America
to do two things," Dr. Nlagnes be-
gan. "I want it in the first place
to adopt a financial program for
the university that will bring in at
the end of five years from now
about $500,000 a year. This past
year we have expended about $200,-
000 on maintenance aside !rem any
money that we put into buildings.

pend $500,000.
Now that, as the
good calculators here will see, is
the income on about $1 0 .0 0 0 ,00 0,
and we should therefore like to get
if this is in any way posible, an en-
dowment of $10,0011,000, or annual
subscriptions guaranteed fur a
number of years the equivalent of
the income on $10,000,000.
"Our university is being estab-
lished at a most momentous time
in the history of thought and we
are compelled in Jerusalem to do
basic fundamental thinking, and
the question presents itself' Is it
not possible for us Jews to do that
thinking, that hard reasoning, that
facing of ourselves and of all the
problems lif life and of the world
honestly better in Jerusalem than
it is elsewhere?
Why Hebrew School?

"1Ve ask even why it is that the
University in Jerusalem is a He-
brew University. It would be in
many ways a much easier and sim-
pler thing fur us to have a univer-
sity that was conducted in another
of the official languages of Pales-
tine, for example English. It would
bring us a large influx of students.
It would establish our relations
with our neighbors upon an easier
lasting. It would enable us to get
professors more easily than we can
get them now. Nevertheless, this
fundamental undertaking is a lie-
brew University—and why He-
brew? Becalse in our endeavor to
do this basic thinking on Judaism
and on life and on the meaning of
reality, we must go back to our
classic tradition which is an Hebra-
ic tradition."
"Dr. Cyrus Adler said, "For sev-
en centuries sae tDew's have taken
learning from all other universi-
ties. Now, we ought to give one
university back to the world."
James N. Rosenberg said "Jew-
ish Federations of Charities in the
United States anent $46,000,000
annually. If one per cent of this
sum would be given to the Ilebrew
University its budget would he cov-
ered. A committee ought to be
formed to reach the presidents of
all the local fedelafions to get their
help along these lines."

ment of Chemistry.

Society At Pittsburgh Convention

CHICAGO GREETS
CONFERENCE FOR
FOREIGN RELIEF

IMPRESSIONS OF
PITTSBURGH MEET

By

BERNARD ISAACS,

Director, United Hebrew Schools.

It is very gratifying to note that
the convention of Hebrew teach-

es and principles, although it was
composed of pedagogues, "melam-

dim," was conducted in a truly
business-likefashion, with direct-

ness and economy of time. All del-
egates departed with the belief that
they were instrumental in creating
an important and much needed or-

ganization.

Of especial interest was. the Y.
M. and \V. II. A., the headquarters
of the convention. The Pittsburgh

"Y" which is located in the Civic
Center and of which the Iron City
is justly proud, accorded the He-
brew educators a very warm wel-
come.

The "V' besides its recreational
and social facilities has also many
edueatinnal features. In discuss-
ing the problems of a mitten "Y"
with the educational director, Will-
iam Ktoloelny. he emphasized the
new trend of an up-to ♦ date "Y"
which consists not in the problem
of Americanizing Judaism • but in
Juclairine American Jewry. I was
indeed surprised to find not only
classes in elementary Hebrew and
the like, such which you find in all
Jewish centers, but also in ad-
vanced Hebrew and Ilebrew litera-
ture. All Hebrew classes are un-
do' the direct supervision of the
Hebrew Institute of Pittsburgh, the
co-oporation of which is valued
very highly by the directors of the

Discusses Future
Of Foreign Relief

Felix Warburg Sees No Need
For Permanent Work
By J. D. C.

NEWARK, N. J.—(J. T. A.)-t-t
The views of Felix M. Warburg,
chairman of the American Jewish
Joint Distribution Committee, on
the future plans of the Joint Dis-
tribution Committee were made
public in a letter addressed by
Mr. Warburg to Dr. K. Vornberg,
editor of the Jewish Voice Yid-
dish weekly published here.
The enunciation came as a reply
to an editorial published in that
paper in which the Joint Distribu-
tion Committee was urged to con-
stitute itself as a permanent body.
In his letter Mr. Warburg stated:
"The proposition made therein
On the editorial) that the Joint
should become a permanent body
is very interesting and has come
from a number of sides.
I have
stated at a number of meetings my
opinion that the time has come
when the Joint, created An an or-
I ganization for the relief of oar
• sufferers, should go out of exist-
ence as such, but I expressed at
the same time the hope that a
'boay.
democratically OT-
' ganized. should succeed it per-
hapa under the keg... of the Amer.
ican Jewish Committee.
"While it is very flattering to
have this demand come from •
. number of sides, I personally do
not believe in self-appointed com-
mittees, which feel that they have
, the right to speak for Jewry at

large.

I better* that the mandate

I of the J. D. C. to relieve war sof-

, ferers has been filled to quite an
I extent, but there are, of course,
innumerable things which Ameri-
can Jewry can do, not only city-
wide, state-wide or even United
States-wide, but our interest in
the Jewish community abroad must
be kept alive until the waters
abroad have become calmer."
