Start Legal Action to Compel Payment
of Pledges to United Jewish Campaign

Ne• York Jewish Diamond Merchant Who Signed Pledge
For $1,000 April 6, 1916, Must Answer to Charges
Brought Against Him by U. J. C. Committee.

NEW YORK.—(J. T. A.1—
Legal action to compel payment
of a pledge made to the United
Jewish Campaign
was
taken
against Samuel Lenkowsky, New
York diamond merchant. The suit
was brought by the United Jewish
Campaign on a signed pledge for
$1.000, which Mr. Lenkowsky
made on April 6, 1926. The com-
mittee, of which William Fox is
chairman and David M. Bressler
acting chairman, Was represented
by Jonah J. Goldstein, of Gold-
stein & Goldstein, who is also the
viee-chairman of the committee.
The committee presented to
Judge Edgar .1. Laurer that more
than $6,000,000 had been pledged
in New York City as part of the
national campaign which raised up-
wards of $20,000,000; that defi-
n itecommittments were made and
obl
igations incurred on the
strength of pledges received and
that large sums had been borrowed'
at the bank in order that necessary'

relief work go forward in advance
of collections on pledges.
S. Howard 1mbry, counsel for
defense, acknowledged the pledge
and signature for his client, but
maintained that since pledges were
obtained by the committee prior to
receipt of Mr. Lenkowsky's pledge
and that since the committee
would have continued to solicit
pledges even if Mr. Lenkowsky
had not pledged that consideration
was not given to Mr. Lenkowsky
directly.
Mr. Goldstein announced that
the New York committee had ob-
tained more than $6,000,000 in
pledges during the campaign con-
ducted in April and May, 1926.
The pledges were payable in three
installments. More than $5,600.-
000 in cash has already been col-
lected, and the committee intends
to collect on pledges remaining
unpaid to the fullest extent. Anyi
subscriber who is able to pay and
refuses to do no will be sued.

MEZUZOTH SUBJECT
OF LUBLIN DEBATE

LUBLIN, Poland.--1.1. T. A.1—
Mczuzoth, the parchment inscribed
with the Biblical passage Deut. vi.
4-9 and xi 13-21, sent by mail to
Jews to be placed on their door-
posts, became a matter of grave
concern to the provincial authori-
ties of a town near here.
The question that arose Was
whether the Hebrew inscriptions,
hieroglyphics tee the postoffice au-
thorities, were subject to the cen-
sorship imposed on all printed
matter sent through the mails.
These favoring censorship of
Mezuzoth were opposed by other
officials, who held that the parch-
ments were manuscripts and there-
fore not subject to the regulations
for printed matter. Others, again
pointed out that religious objects
should not be subjected to the
censor's critical eye.
Unable tee reach a decision the
matter was submitted to the Star-
osta (governor of the district 1.
The urban official advised the
small town police officials to tackle
more tangible problems which
await solution for the welfare of,
the republic.
