PRAGUE.—(J. T. A.) —Sharp
and bitter criticism of the present
leadership of the World Zionist Or-,
ganization and condemnation of the
British policy in Palestine was
voiced in a three hour speech de-
livered by Vladimir Jabotinsky,
leader of the Zionist Revisionists,
speaking here Aug. 10, at the open-
ing session of the fourth world
conference of the Union of Zion-
ist Revisionists, the opposition to,
the Weizmann regime within the
world Zionist Organization.
Charging the British government
with not doing its duty toward the
Jew% in Palestine and accusing
the Palestine administration of
creating an atmosphere which en-

Jabotinsky nevertheless expressed
his opposition to the demand that
the Palestine Mandate he trans-'
ferred to some other power from
England.

NEW YORK.— (J. T. A.) —
Twenty-five Jewish butchers with
whom he is acquainted have late-
ly been paying graft to supervisors
of the New York City Department
of Public Markets, declared Oscar
Glassberg, a Brooklyn kosher butch_
er, in his testimony before Commis-
sioner of Accounts Janes A. Hig-
gins. Mr. Glassberg, whose origi-
nal charges of graft in the Markets
Department hail started the inves-
tigation, gave the names of these 25
butchers to Commissioner Higgins,
who said he would question them.
In 1927, Glassberg, declared, his
shop was inspected by three super-
visors of the Markets Department
who accused him of selling non-
kosher meat for kosher, although,
according to him, the meat on which
their complaint Was based was part
of a kosher animal. Ile stated that
after the supervisors left a delica-
tessen dealer of Brooklyn, Sol Le-
vine, told him that he was "playing
with fire," Levine saying that he
was paying $10 a month to a sup-
ervisor for having a kosher sign in
his window when he was selling
non-kosher products.

ago. The memorial service will be
held at Congregation Emanuel,

Rabbi Aaron M. Ashinsky, who
will deliver the eulogy, will be fol-

A call is issued to organizations

On the occasion of the anniver-
