NEW YORK. — Eight hundred women
representing all groups of opinion in New
York on Feb. 26 pledged themselves to the
creation of a united front against Nazism,
and support the work in this direction of the
American Jewish Congress through its
Women's Division, at the third annual luncheon of the
organization of which Mrs. Stephen S: Wise is the presi-
dent. The growing terror in Germany was described and
notice was served to Nazi Germany and its defenders in
other lands that an organized defense against the en-
croachments of Nazism is being prepared and extended,
and that not even the desire to*

NEW YORK (WNSI—An or-

division of Mayor LaGuardia's

Richard Whitney, a leader in the

than n score of subscribers have
cancelled their subscriptions. Dr.
Stephen S. Wise also protested.
Members of the Philharmonic
Symphony Orchestra threatened a
strike unless Furtwaengler's ap-

Mr. Hirschmann declared that
the society's action was "a slap
in the face to the kind of free
government represented by ser-
ious-thinking Americans" because
Furtwaengler has accepted the
Nazi philosophy. Recalling that
in April, 1933. Furtwaengler had
protested against Nazi persecu-
tion of musicians on grounds of
race and politics only to "accept
the dictates of philosophy of the
Nazi government" and "work as
one of its officials" when his pro-
test was rejected, Mr. Hirschmann
said it was "unthinkable" that
"an official of the Nazi govern-
ment should be appointed to the

Mr. Hirschmann, "that Furtwaen-

An effort to break the organized

a branch of the DAWA movement
— the D e u t s c h-Amerikanischer

quarters at 2959 llogarth Ave. In

The DAWA movement first made
its appearance in New York about
two years ago and was aimed not
only to encourage trade relations
between this country and Ger-
many, but primarily to boycott
Jewish merchants in this country.
The organization of the DAWA
branch in Detroit Is the first sign
of the revival of this movement
since the lull in its activities soon
after it was originally formed.

On Sunday morning, Marth 8,
Dr. Leo M. Franklin will occupy
the pulpit at Temple Beth El and
will speak on the subject: "A God-

cussion will center around the
Book of Esther upon which the

Continuing the series of Sabbath

Dr. Franklin will, next Friday,

At the Sabbath Eve services,
Dr. Franklin is making the Ten
Commandments the general theme
of his addresses, while Rabbi Leon

of the Prayer Book.
Services continue to arouse
