WARSAW (WNS) — With the support

ganizations have called a one-week strike
against classes in all the Warsaw colleges
and universities, beginning Oct. 11, as a pro-
test against the establishment of ghetto

benches for Jews in all institutions of higher learning in
Warsaw. During the strike the Jewish students will
gather in the Jewish students' homes. Until Oct. 11 the
students attended classes and lectures but did not occupy
the special benches allocated to them.
A delegation of Jewish members of parliament that
called on the minister of educa- •
tion to protest the ghetto benches
was informed that he could do
nothing to revoke the decision to
segregate the Jewish students. Ile
explained that it was in effect a
government decree and hence, a

in force.

PISGAH SYMPOSIUM
ON PARTITION PLAN
Crohn and Becker to Partici-
pate in Discussion on
Next Monday

A symposium on the question of
the partition of Palestine has been
arranged by Pisgah Lodge of Bnai
Brith for Monday evening, Oct.
18, at 8:30 o'clock, In the Maccabee
Bldg.
Louis Schostak, chairman of the
Intellectual advancement commit-
tee of Pisgah Lodge, secured as
the participants in this symposium
the following:
Lawrence W. Crohn, president
of the Zionist Organization of De-
troit, and Rabbi Levy M. Becker,
educational director of the Jewish
Community Center.
Members of the lodge and their
friends are invited to attend this
meeting. It is urged that those
planning to attend come early in
view of the limited seating capacity
of the lodge room in which this
symposium will be held.
Applications for membership in
the lodge continue to pour in fol-
lowing the appeal of Dr. Victor
Droock, chairman of the member-
ship committee for a large class
to celebrate the 80th anniversary
of Pisgah Lodge. Keen interest is
being displayed by practically all
of the members of the lodge in an
effort to secure at least 500 new
members for the 80th anniversary
class. It is expected that this class
will be one of the largest that has
ever been Inducted by the lodge.
Plans for the banquet that will
be held on Sunday, Nov. 21, at the
Statler Hotel, are rapidly nearing
completion, according to the report
of Beniamin F. Goldman, general
chalrsnaa of 80th anniversary cele-
bration. Speakers of national repu-
tation will address the meeting,
man of the convention committee,
announced that the gathering will
bring to a climax a series of cele-
brations that began last March to
mark the silver jubilee of the
founding of Hadassah.

The league's action followed
receipt at its headquarters of nu-
merous complaints from all parts
of the country including New
York City from parents who pro-
test that their children are re-
peating pro-Hitler utterances.
One parent of a student in a
New York City High School in-
dignantly protested to the league
that the child is receiving pro-
Nazi training from a teacher who
is supposed to be teaching biology.
The parent has sent an affidavit
to the league's headquarters set-
ting forth these facts which she
mid she investigated and found
to be true.
Another parent of a student in
a New York elementary school
stated in a letter to the league
that many students in the school
attended by his child salute the
American flag by raising their
arms in the Nazi salute.
Numerous Complaints
Similar complaints have come
from other parts of the United
States and according to the league
point to the possibility of a well-
organized Nazi propaganda mech-
anism to be used among Ameri-
can students.
Following a nationwide survey
of the extent of Nazi propaganda
in United States schools and col-
leges the league will offer a pro-
gram with three objectives: to
discontinue Btu d e n t exchange
plans, involving American and
German students. to prevent visit-
ing Nazi professors from teaching
in American universitlea, and to
keep out 'of schoOl and college
libraries, literature and news-
papers printed in Nazi Germany.

it was said, to have student ex-

Franklin to Speak
at Friday Service
Will Discuss the Subject "Re-In-
terpreting America"
Medicine has always been a favorite choice of professionally-
minded Jewish students and the proportion of physicians among
,Jews has always been relatively high. But no reliable data are
available to indicate the exact proportion of Jewish medical men.
Recently, in view of the many instances of alleged discrimination
against Jewish applicants to medical schools, several attempts have
been made to ascertain the proportion of Jews In this profession.
Unfortunately these attempts cover only single cities and therefore
do not represent the true situation. In New York City, the propor-
tion of Jewish physicians to the total number of physicians in 1902
was estimated at 7 per cent. There were approximately 7,000
physicians in the city then and from four to six hundred of these
were Jews. The Jewish community consisted then of 672,000 in-
dividuals and constituted 16.8 per cent of the total. Thus, the
Jewish community with 16.8 per cent of the population accounted
for only 7 per cent of the phyalcians. Jews were apparently under-
represented in medicine in New York at the turn of the century.
But in the next two decades the number of Jews in medicine rose
sharply in the city. The proportion of Jewish physicians to the
total number of physicians more than tripled by 1923, rising to 22
per cent. The proportion of Jews in the total population of New
York City in 1923 was about 25 per cent. It is apparent that the
number of Jewish physicians in New York City was still less than
would be expected from the total number of Jews in the city. In
1930, the conditions were somewhat different. Jewish physicians
constituted 35 per cent of all the physcians in the city, while the
Jewish population constituted only 30 per cent of the total popula-
tion. More recently Rabbi Morris Lazaron presented data for six
other cities. These art given in table 1.

Rabbi Fram to Address Beth El
Congregational Dinner Oct. 19
Rabbi Leon Fram will deliver
the principal address at a con-
gregational dinner to be held by
Temple Beth El Tuesday night,
Oct. 19.
The men and women of Congre-
gation Beth El will gather that
night to hear Rabbi Fram describe
the situation of the Jewish people
in Europe as he studied it In the
course of his trip last summer
through Germany, Poland, Ruma-
nia, Austria, Hungary and Czecho-
slovakia,
The dinner will be given under
the auspices of the Men's Club of
the Temple and the chairman and
toastmaster of the occasion will be
Irving Hirschman.
Rabbi Fram has made a hobby
of traveling in troubled and dan-
gerous places. He visited Mexico
and Russia while the revolutions
were still going on in those coun-
tries, and he moved about among
the militant Arabs when he visited
Palestine two years ago. It was
at considerable personal risk that
TWO BNAI BRITH YOUTH MOVEMENTS
SERVE AMERICAN JEWISH COMMUNITY 300 ENROLLED IN
BETH EL COLLEGE
By EDWARD E. GRUSD
Editor, Bnai Brith Magaline
EDITOR'S NOTE: The following Is the second of • aeries of articles by the
editor of the Iinal 17.111, 11..Ine, written especially for The Detroit
Jewish Chronicle on the occasion of the 50th anallemary of Pisgah
Lodge of Beal frith. which will be observed in November.
For three generations Bnai
Brith has served American Jewry
in whatever way such service was
needed. During the 1920's, in the
post-war period of disillusionment,
Jewish youth began to drift away
from the faith of their fathers.
Children of the jazz age, they grew
cynical and if they did not actual-
ly sever all their connections with
the Jewish community, they at
least were indifferent to it, and
certainly utterly inactive as Jews
and Jewesses.
If such • condition had con-
tinued, we would have lost some of
our finest young Jewish leaders of
the present day, Bnai Brith sensed
the importance of the problem and
in 1924 sponsored two youth move-
ments which are among the most
important in American Jewish life
today: the Hillel Foundations and
A.Z.A.
There are today 11 Hillel
Foundations in as many great uni-
versities from coast to coast. Each
foundation Is a religious, educa-
tional, and social center for Jew-
ish students. By a wen rounded
program of activities that appeal
to Jewish youth, these foundations,

to Preside
the well-known author of "Good
Earth," Pearl S. Buck, under the
title "On Discovering America,"
Dr. Leo M. Franklin will speak
at the Sabbath Eve services at
Temple Beth El under the title
"Re-Interpreting America."
The essay by Pearl Buck pre-
sents an entirely new approach to
what may be called the psychology
of the American people, and since
it has a direct bearing upon many
problems affecting the Jew, Dr.
Franklin's discussion should call
forth unusual interest.
For the next several weeks Dr.
Franklin will give a series of so-
called "Request Sermons", dealing
with subjects which have been
suggested to him by members of
the congregation.
The Sabbath Eve services at
Temple Beth El continue to call
forth large and enthusiastic con-
gregations. The social hour which
follows the service is under the
direction of the Temple Sisterhood.
in the 13 years of their existence,
have brought thousands of Jewish
college men and women closer to
a love for Jewish culture. Many of
them are today Bnal Brith officers,
Jewl e h women's organizational
leaders, and guiding forces in Jew-
ish welfare funds, temples, and
other constructive Jewish causes.
What the Hillel Foundations
have done for the older youth, the
A.Z.A. does for the younger boys.
There are more than 2,000 A.Z.A.
chapters from coast to coast for
boys between 15 and 21. They have
their own national organization
and their own local programs
which are of a nature to appea
to youngsters and are at the same
time infused with the true Jewish
spirit.
Truly it can be said that if
American Jewry had established
youth organizations like A. Z. A
and Hillel 50 years ago, we would
not be so often perplexed today
when it comes to seeking out Jew-
ish leadership. Through the agen-
cy of Bnai Brith, American Jews
of tomorrow should have capable
leaders and loyal intelligent fol-
lowers.

A new era in efforts for the redemption

the national conference of the Jewish Na-

and all day Sunday, at Hotel Statler..
With approximately 1,200 to 1,500 people
at every session, and with about 1,000 turned away for
lack of room from the opening session which was at-
tended by 1,500 men and women, this conference proved
to be one of the most enthusiastic national assemblies
ever held in America,
Close to 700 delegates were present at the sessions.

In every city except Hartford, the proportion of Jews among
physicians is greater than the proportion of Jews in the total popu-
ation. Considering the entire group of cities as a whole, we find
that Jews constitute 25.4 per cent of the physicians and only 19.7
per cent of the total population in the larger cities. An estimate
of the number of Jewish physicians in the smaller Jewish commu-
nities has recently been made available. The total population of
the town that was surveyed was 20,000 and the total number of
Jews was 629. There were 4 Jewish physicians in the town. Since
the name of the town is not given, no comparison can be made
between the proportional representation of Jews and non-Jews In
he medical profession. But a comparison with the average Eastern
manufacturing town of 20,000 population indicates that the pro-
portion of Jewish physicians is greater than the expected number.
Apparently Jews are engaged in the practice of medicine to a
greater extent than the rest of the population in smaller towns as
well as in the larger cities.,
To what extent are Jews skeline the practice 'of 'medicine?
nformation about the number of Jewish medical students is more
easily available than similar information about Jewish physicians.
But even in the case of students the data are based only on esti-
mates. The proportion of Jewish medical students in the country
at large has been estimated by Dr. A. J. Rongy on the basis of a
questionnaire sent to medical fraternities and by Dr. Harold Rypins.
The best estimate in 1930 seems to be about 17 per cent. Rabbi
Lazaron has compiled data for the last 10 years on the number
