With President Hoover and Gov-
ernor Roosevelt heading the list, •
distinguished group of Jewish and
non-Jewish leaders paid tribute to
Bernard G. Richards as author,
journalist, Zionist, executive, and
until recently executive secretary
of the American Jewish Congress,
at a dinner arranged to mark 25
years of activity, Sunday evening,
at Hotel Edison.
More than 300 persons attend-
ed the dinner, which was presided
over by Carl Sherman, former at-
torney-general of the state of New
York and addressed by Rev. Ar-
thur J. Brown of the American
Committee on Religious Rights
and Minorities; Jacob Fishman,
managing editor of the Jewish
Morning Journal; Rabbi L.N. Lev-
inthal of the Brooklyn Jewish Cen-
ter; Michael Williams, editor of
Commonweal; Israel Matz and Dr.
Max Raisin.
President's Message.
President Hoover's message de-
clared: "I congratulate you most
cordially upon your long and use-
ful career in the service of the
Jewish people and wish for you
every blessing in the years to
come."
Governor Roosevelt stated: "I
wish I could come in person to
the dinner in honor of Bernard G.
Richards, in order that I might
join in this well-deserved tribute
to him."
Criticize Convention Action.
A note of criticism was added
to the festive tone of the occasion
when Louis Lipsky, Jacob Fishman
and Carl Sherman voiced their
protest at the action of the last
convention in eliminating the post
of executive secretary, held by
Mr. Richards for 16 years.

against the decision of the rab-
binate, declaring that it could not
be upon constitutional grounds.
His petition was denied for lack
of legal grounds. This decision
was confirmed b" the minister of
education on the basis of a Czarist
ukase of 1905, which granted re-
ligious liberty with the exception
of the adoption of non-Christian
faiths by native Christians. For-
mer Jews or descendants of Jews
were permitted to revert to Juda-
ism, however.
Raczynski accordingly took his
case to the supreme administrative
tribunal, which reversed the previ-
ous decisions. It based its verdict
on the ground that in the ukase of
1905, the exception referred to
the "Greek Orthodox faith," then
the official religion in Russia, and
did not include the Roman Cath-
olic faith.

While the Jews were not men-

Jews are fleeing from their native
towns, fearing serious troubles will
arise during the elections.
With the elections for the presi-
dent of the German republic only
a week distant, the Hitler tactics
with reference to the Jews sud-
denly revealed a market change.
Coincident with the holding of
the first public open air election
meetings, the Hitler press and the
election pamphlets of th$ Nazi
leader omitted all reference to the
Jews. This, it is stated, is not a
niece coincidence but the result
o forders issued by Adolph Hitler
himself. The Nazi leader, it is
believed, urged this changed policy
during the last week prior to the
election in the interests of his
candidacy.

Emigrate When Hitler Announces
Candidacy.
AMSTERDAM.—(J, T. A.)—A
number of Jewish families arrived
here from Germany, whence they
migrated following Hitler's an-
nouncement that he will be a can-
didate for president.
Among the emigres are two
well known banking families who
settled at The Hague, that of
Jacob Michatls of Berlin and Dr.
Sonderheimer of Frankfort-am-
Main.

Anti-Semitism.
MOSCOW.—(J. T. A.)—The
number of Jews employed in
the transport service of the So-
viet government having grown
aiderably during recent months,
the executive of the Railroad
Workers' Organization has re-
i quested all the professional organ-
izations of the railroad workers to
undertake an energetic campaign
against anti-Semitism. The call is
particularly addressed to the rail-
, road workers of the Ukraine,
where instances of anti-Semitism
among railroad workers have
manifested themselves.
The executive suggests that ad-
vantage should be taken of every
opportunity to bring the Jewish
workers more closely into the
ranks of the rail workers and to
increase their number wherever
possible.

The word "Zhid," the insulting
form of the word Jew, has been
expunged from the Russian dic-
tionary, the judge in one of the
Moscow courts declared when a
case came up before him in which
a Jewish woman, Rachel Wein-
berg, complained that Helena Mar-
zinowska, a non-Jewish neighbor,
had called her "Zhidovka."
"You, Citizen Marzinowska,
should know," the judge said, "that
the word 'Zhid,' which is a heri-
tage from Czarist days, is now
used only by such elements who
desire in that way to hurt the feel-
ings of Jewish workers. A fort-
night's compulsory labor will be a
good lesson to you not to use such
words again."

BUENOS AIRES.—(J. T. A.)—
A party of 34 workers, eight wo-
men and five children, left here for
Bira-Bidjan, the Far Eastern sec-
tion of Russia, where a Jewish re-

The Soviet authorities have an-

that Bira-Bidjan settlement is for

Jaffe's Poetic Justice Aftermath
No Swan Song
When Irving Jaffe of the U. S.
Olympic team won both the 0,000
and 10,000 meter ice skating titles
at Lake Placid a few weeks ago
there was a large measure of
poetic justice in his pair of vic-
tories. The Lake Placid district
is notoriously anti-Semitic. As a
matter of common knowledge Jews
have always been forbidden the
right of entry into the grounds of
Lake Placid Country Club. Its
proprietor is a man of many preju-
dices. He not only cherishes deep
resentment against his Jewish
brethren but was also a fanatic on
modernized spelling. To have a
typically Jewish boy from New
York skate off with the honors
must have been a galling experi-
ence.

You will remember that before
the races Jaffee had announced
that he would take part in a num-
ber of skating meets scheduled In
the near future but immediately
after the Olympics the Jewish boy
headed for New York. His seem-
ingly sudden change of mind was
no mere whim. He was the victim
of a hazing prank played upon
him by his own team-mates the
night before his race in the 10,000
meter event. These young Ameri-
caln elportsmen decided to take
Jaffee out and inculcate in him
some of the old college spirit. It
was an uncalled-for disgraceful
affair, inspired by what suspicious.
ly seemed to be anti-Semitism.
Jaffee took the hazing in good
part, kept his mouth shut until
after the games and then the news
leaked out.
For reasons best known to
themselves the editors of the New
York newspapers, with one excep-
tion, ignored the trouble and not a
line appeared about the incident.
I don't suppose anyone can get
very sore over the pranks of young
boys but in this country, where
sport is taken no seriously it seems
mighty queer that a man's team-
mates were permitted to go un-
punished after subjecting an
almost sure point winner to an-
noyance the night before an im-
portant race. No one can blame
Jaffee for refusing to participate
further. Great credit is coming
to Jaffee for his sane handling of
the situation. Had he raised a
loud holler people would say he
was a whiner. Iris dignity won
the day and made his tormentors
look like a bunch of tin horn
sports.
