Gerard Swope, chairman of the

by Percival Dodge, managing di-
rector of the fund, and leaders of
the campaign organization.
The goal of $2,000,000 set for
this year is $500,000 below last
year's quota. Percival Dodge, di-
rector of the fund, explained the
lower goal was set so there would
be a better chance to go over the
top. Last year's drive was $750,-
000 short of its goal.

of Controversial
Issues
NEW YORK — Two new Amer-
ican agencies have been organized
to raise funds, largely among
Christians, for the rehabilitation of
10,000 non-Jewish refugees who
have fled Germany and are living
in other European countries. The
twocomniittees were formed at the
suggestion of James G. McDonald,
High Commissioner for German
Refugees.
The agencies are the American
Christian Committee for German
Refugees, 287 Fourth Avenue, with
Dr. S. l'arkes Cadman as chair-
man and I rank Ritchie as execu-
tive secretary, and the Emergency
Committee in Aid of Political Ref-
ugees from Nazism, 20 Vesey St.,
with 'Francis A. Henson as execu-
tive secretary. The chairman of the
latter group has not yet been
named.
Two Agencies to Co-operate
The American Christian Com-
mittee will deal with the non-Ary-
an Christians, those of Jewish
origin through one of their parents
or grandparents, who have been
deprived of their posts in Germany.
The non-Aryan Christian refugees,
it has been estimated, number be-
tween 6,000 and 6,000.
The Emergency Committee will
be concerned entirely with political
refugees, regardless of race or
creed. Their number is from 4,000
to 5,000. While the two committees
will handle different aspects of the
refugee problem they will work to-
gether to avoid duplication of ef-
fort and will cooperate closely with
Mr. McDonald.
Campaign Begins ■ at Once
Mr. Ritchie's committee will
start a campaign to raise $400,000
among churches and religious
groups to care for at least 1,600
refugees over a period of two
years, providing immediate relief
and transporting the refugees to
MANIT4 'they C411- become_
self-supporting. The funds will be
allocated to the Society of Friends
in Europe and other accredited
agencies will handle the refugees.
The Emergency Committee will
seek to raise $250,000 from non-
Jewish and liberal sources in a
campaign which also will start this
week. This fund is for a two-year
budget and, with the exception of
an allowance for administrative ex-
penses, will be divided among re-
lief agencies such as the Labor
Chest of the American Federation
of Labor, Socialist and Communist
relief bureaus and other groups
aiding political refugees.
Mr. Ritchie, who returned recent-
ly from a six weeks' study of the
non-Jewish German problem in
Europe, declared that "the plight
of these refugees has been largely
neglected by their fellow-Christians
throughout the world."

WARSAW, — Millions of Jews throughout Poland are greatly
embittered by the unusually severe 'sentence passed on Abraham
Halderstadt, Jewish merchant of Warsaw, for offending Hitler in
Poland.
In an interview with the Warsaw correspondent of the New
York Times this extraordinary Jewish prisoner, who has been sen-
tenced to eight months' imprisonment by a Warsaw court, said:
"I'had no intention of insulting Hitler and was annoyed by the
insistence and audacity of Germans who offered me German electrical bulbs for sale
to Jews in Poland, especially at a time when Jews were so maltreated in Germany. I
didn't even open their letters, as I wasn't interested in the contents. But, moved by
the terrible crimes againt Jews in Germany, I wanted to tell the Germans not to
pester me with their affairs, so I wrote on an envelope, 'While Hitler and his clique
rule Germany, no decent person can have dealings in German goods.' What happened
to the letter later I didn't know until I was summoned by the police."
The case against Halderstadt was instigated by the Polish Government after

To speak of Reading, in terms
other than of awesome reverence,
would be something In the nature

He bears himself with that un-
