1,0S ANGELES.—(J. T. A.)—
A decision to organize a Kehillah
to represent the Jewish population
in Los Angeles on the basis of a
broad, democratic platform, was
taken at a mass meeting held here.
A provisional committee was
elected for a term of six months
which was charged with the task of
preparing a constitution for the or-
ganization. One hundred and sixty
three delegates representing 21
congregations, live Zionist societies,
six charitable institutions, five bus-
iness men's associations, four so-
cial organizations land live news-
papers were present at the meeting
which was presided over by M. I.
Grossman.
Sponsored by Jewish Review.
This move, which was opposed
by certain elements in the Lon An-
geles Jewish community, is the
third attempt made here to organ-
ize what is termed a Kehillah. The
first attempt was made nine years
ago; the second four years ago.
An agitation for the organization
of the Kehillah as the spokesman
of the Jewish population was car-
ried on by a number of leading Los
Angeles Zionists sand Was sponsored
vigorously by the California Jew-
ish Review, of which Joseph J.
Cummins of Detroit is publisher.
During the campaign which pre-
ceded the holding of the mass meet-
ing, it was frequently charged that
the Federation of Jewish Welfare
Societies of Los Angeles was op-
posed to the plan.
The provisional committee elect-
ed at the mass meeting consists of
Dr. George I. Saylin, president;
11r. L. G. Reynolds, J. A. 1105011-
erillitZ, Moses Tanenbaum, Aaron
Shapiro, Mrs. A. Melinkoff, vice-
president, and A. Fisch, treasurer.
Zionist Repercussions.
The fight around the Kehillah is-
sue which divided many groups also
had its repercussions in the Zion-
ist group which as a whole appear-
ed to be the sponsor of the move-
ment. Because of these differences
difficulties had developed in the or-
ganization of this year's United
Intestine Appeal in Los Angeles.
Here the fight was on as to whether
the United Palestine Appeal is to
conduct its campaign independent.

was the ease last year when the

Christ. She engaged Shrub and
together they wrote the scenario.
With a view to getting the atti-
tude of Mr. Hays on such a pro•
duction she called on him on June
18, 1924, the complaint says, and
in the following September Mr.
Hays said the manuscript bore evi-
dence of great merit, novel treat-
ment and educatjonal value for the
church and public. He suggested
that she wait until Mr. Its Mille
should be able to consider it.
It is alleged Mr. De Mille re-
ceived the play in December, that
he said he would like to show it to
Miss Macpherson, and that in the
following April he returned it to
Miss Suratt, staying he could not
use it. The complaint asks for an
injunction and an accounting on
the play "King of Kings," which
was produced in May, 1927.

Cooking CI

Have You a
"Wholesale
Privilege"?

Have you been presented with a card enabling
you to buy jewelry or other commodities "whole-
sale"? If so, perhaps you have nibvbled at the
first bait—namely, the opportunity to buy a na-
tionally advertised article at a substantial saving.

After your confidence has thus been bought,
complaints show the "wholesaler" will charge
yoyu 150 to 200 per cent more than the prevail-
ing retail figure for something else.

When you call at the "wholesaler's" and present
your card, a shrugging of shoulders and an inde-
pendence of demeanor on the part of clerks
merely whet your appetite to exercise your
"wholesale privilege,"

This is all just "scenery"—a trick to induce you
to buy "wholesale" at far more than the gener-
ally prevailing figure in bona fide retail shops.

GROSSMAN RESIGNS FR

Why John C. Shields Should

Be Elected Mayor of
Highland Park.

Friends of John
Shields offer,
among others, the following rea-
sons why he should be elected
mayor of Highland Park:
Because, although still in the
prime of life, he has had a wide
and varied training and experi-
ence, as an attorney of 20 years'
practice, as general attorney for
the Pere Marquette Railroad, as
professor in the Detroit College of
Lim, 11S bank director, as a mem-
ber of the Highland Park Hospital

Board, a n d as commissioner of
public works of Highland Park,
and in other fields of private and
public activity, which have famil.
seized him with the tasks and
problems which constantly con-
front the mayor of a modern city.
Because his character is clean;
his ideals are high; and his private
and public life among his fellow
citizens in Highland Park have
won for him a merited reputation
for those qualities of sincerity,
honesty and honor which are so
essential to a true public servant.
Because his election as mayor
will not only be a deserved recog-
nition of the public services which

he has already rendered, but will

also avoid the danger of establish-
ing the unwise precedent of a third
term in this important public of-
fice, with the serious consequences
which may result from such a de-
parture from settled traditions of
American political policy.

ager of Louis Bass, Inc., assumed

LONDON.-0.
T. A.)—M.
Grossman has resigned from the
board of directors of the Jew's!)
Telegraphic Agency and has issued
the following statement:
"After having for eight years
conducted the affairs of the Jew-
ish Telegraphic Agency and its as-
sociated companies which I estab-
lished in 1919, together with Mr.
J. Landau, I have now resigned
my directorship in these compa-
nies and have parted with nay hold-
ings. I declare herewith that
from February 8 I bear no respon-
sibility whatever for the financial
affairs and activities of the Jewish
Telegraphic Agency and its asso-
ciated companies."
Jacob Landau, director of the
Jewish Telegraphic Agency, who
has come to London in order to
take steps for the further develop
ment of the work of the Jewish
Telegraphic Agency, issued the
following statement in connec-
tion with the resignation of Mr.
Grossman from the Jewish Tele-
graphic Agency:
"On the occasion of Mr. Gross-
man's resignation, I wish to state
that the work of the Jewish Tele-
graphic Agency will be continued
on the same lines as heretofore."

E. H. McCarty Named Vice-

E. II. McCarty, for the past six
years general sales manager of the
Nash Motors Company, has been
made a vice-president of that or-
ganization. Ile was elected a di-
rector three years ago. Regarded
as one of the soundest merchan-
disers in the automobile industry,
he will continue to direct the com-
pany's sales organization.
Announcement of Mr. 51cCarty's
election as vice-president was made
by C. W. Nash, president of the
company, who said the 116'11111:e-
meta was a "well merited recog-
nition of unusual ability."
Earl II. McCarty started his bus-
iness life in a humble position in
the offices of a large horse-drawn
vehicle manufacturer and has long
been regarded as a dynamic force
in the merchandising division of the
automobile industry. In any situ-
ation, no matter how trying, "Mac,"
as he is known to Nash distribu-
tors throughout the country, is
found always with two feet on the
ground anal he never loses sight of
the fact that two and two make
four. So it eau not remarkable,
perhaps, that Earl NteCarty should
have risen out of the ranks. His
promotions came from time to lints
and he became one of the directing
forces that influenced the figures on
those ledgers he used to keep.
