Palestine Jews Favor
Partition; Only Choice

NEW YORK. — (WNS) —
The Jews of Palestine are for
partition because they feel
there is no other choice, Mrs.
Samuel W. Halperin, former
national president of Iladas-
sah, declared on her arrival in
this country for a speaking
tour. Mrs. Halperin, who has
lived in Palestine for the last
three years, said that while
Palestine Jewry is divided on
the partition question and even
those in favor of it would re-
ject the plan if they were cer-
tain England would or could
implement the Mandate, they
feel that partition seems to of-
fer a better chance for the de-
velopment of the Jewish home-
land.

Announcement was made this
week that a survey of the needs
for a Jewish hospital in Detroit
are being conducted by Dr.
Jacob Joshua Golub, director of
the Hospital for Joint Diseases
of New York. The survey is
being conducted under the aus-
pices of the Jewish Welfare Fed-
eration of Detroit.
Dr. Golub brings to his task
a rich and varied experience
culled from medical fields in this
country and abroad. A graduate
of the Boston University School
of Medicine, with a record of
a three-year apprenticeship as
physician in the U. S. Public
Health Service. he enlisted as a
member of the medical commis-
sion of the American Joint Die-

tribution Committee, serving as
medical and health commission-
er in the Ukraine. Appointed
head of the J. D. C. Polish Medi-
cal Unit in 1921, he conducted a
health and hospital survey of Po-
land, which resulted in the es-
tablishment of hospitals, dispen-
saries, nursing training schools
and x-ray stations in that coun-
try, all of which operated under
his direct supervision.
One of TOZ Organisers
Before he left Eastern Europe,
in 1924, Dr. Golub had organized
Poland's national health organiza-
tion "TOZ," which unit took over
the health work of the American
Joint Distribution Committee
when it withdrew from that field.
A consultant in the planning
of the Rothschild-Haddassah Hos-
pital and Hebrew University
Medical School, in Jerusalem,
Palestine, Dr. Golub is a member
of the Board of Hospital Admin.
strative Consultants to the De-
partment of Hospitals in the City
of New York. He reorganized
both the Beth Moses hospital,
Brooklyn, N. Y., and the Ifospi-
tal for Joint Diseases, New York
City, and has been active in plan-
ning and administration matters
of both large and small hospitals.
Dr. Golub has served as assist-
ant director of Mount Sinai Hos-
pital, New York City, and Execu-
