Urges Extra Tax by Jews to
U. S. Government
Editor, Detroit Jewish Chronicle:
It occurs to me that it is time
we abandoned a practice of los-
ing sleep over the Income Tax.
Too many worry over methods
of reducing their legal payments;
in fact, some employ high priced
accountants to manipulate figures
in order to reduce to a minimum
their payments.
We, as Jews and as good
Americans, of all people, should
be willing to pay an extra tax
for the privilege of being under
the protection of the American
Flag. We should tax ourselves an
extra percentage to help our gov-
ernment balance the budget.

This week's news gave graphic
testimony of the work which the
United Jewish Appeal funds are
doing to cope with the emergency
of homelessness and distress in
Poland and other parts of Cen-
tral and Eastern Europe. On
three fronts in Europe, Palestine
and in the United States, relief
and rehabilitation effort, immi-
gratio nand settlement activity,
and refugee integration moved
forward through the programs of
the Joint Distribution Committee,
the United Palestine Appeal and
the National Refugee Service,
whose campaigns are combined in
the single, unified 1940 United
Jewish Appeal.

through 25 provincial committees

1,000 villages throughout the
country; (2) from London news
was cabled of the departure of
the first group of Jewish refu-
gees from Poland for Palestine,
with the aid of the United Pales-
tine Appeal; (3) in New York
the arrival in one week of more
than 600 refugees from Greater
Germany called into action the
facilities of the National Refugee
Service for their adjustment and
integration.
Recognizing that the continua-
tion and expansion of such re-
habilitation and resettlement ef-
fort depend upon the success of
the United Jewish Appeal, Jewish
communal leaders throughout the
country summoned their commu-
nities to act quickly in inaugurat-
ing campaign that will evoke the
widest response.
Who Has Done the Most
for Jewry
The Zeta Beta Tau Fraternity
will shortly announce the award
of the Gottheil Medal for the
year 1939. The world-famous
medal, since 1925, has been pre-
sented annually by this frater-
nity, the oldest and largest na-
tional Jewish college fraternity,
to the American who has done
the most for Jewry.
The Gottheil Medal was es-
tablished by Zeta Beta Tau in
honor of Dr. Richard J. H.
Gottheil of Columbia University,
an outstanding leader in Jewish,
American and international cul-
ture, who passed away in May,
1936. In 1898 he inspired the
founding of Zeta Beta Tau and
for many years was its national
president.
The award for 1938 was re-
ceived by Dorothy Thompson,
famous volumnist, of New York
City. The medal has been award-
ed to Rabbi Stephen S. Wise of
New York, David Brown of De-
troit, the late Felix M. War-
burg, the late Julius Rosenwald,
Governor Herbert H. Lehman
of the State of New York, Rev.
John Haynes Holmes of New
York (first non-Jew to receive
the Gottheil Medal), the Pilgrim-
age Team of the National Con-
ference of Jews and Christians
(the medal was cast in triplicate
and each of the members of the
team, Rev. Everett A. Clinchy,
Father J. Elliot Ross and Rabbi
Morris S. Lazaron, received a
replica). No award was made for
1934; the 1935 medal was pre-
sented to James G. McDonald of
New York City, while President
Franklin D. Roosevelt received
the medal for 1936. In 1937 it
was awarded to Judge Julian
Mack of New York City.
Although Zeta Beta Tau pre-
sents the medal annually, it is as-
sisted in the selection of the
awardee by a representative com-
mittee of the Jewish newspapers,
magazines and press services of
the United States, including the
editor of The Detroit Jewish
Chronicle.
Congratulations to Dr. Hirsh
Rosenfeld of Montreal, who in a
couple of weeks is marrying
Dora Kofsky, the Canadian Jewish
beauty prize winner whose knowl-
edge of Hebrew enabled her to
serve as the late Reuben Brain-
in's private secretary for sev-
eral years.

Urged to Save for Pledges
Detroit's Jewish women were
urged to begin saving toward
their campaign pledges immedi-
ately.
Although Mrs. Welt, Mrs. Ehr-
lich and Mrs. Srere were sure
that many local women's organi-
zations included a substantial
gift from their treasuries to the
Women's Project in their an-
nual plans, they wish to stress
the importance of announcing
their gifts early in the course of
the special women's drive, in or-
der to stimulate increased pledges
from newer groups, and help set
the pace for the coming drive. 1 , ,

Preliminary plans for the 1940
Women's Project of the Allied
Jewish Campaign were outlined
by Mrs. Srere, together with Mrs.
Joseph M. Welt, who served as
general chairman of the Project
when it was inaugurated last
year, and Mrs. Joseph H. Ehrlich,
who served as honorary chair-
man of the 1939 set-up. Together,
they issued a plea for the support
of the women of the community.
"We ask them—secure in their
homes, content with their loved
ones, occupied with many stimu-
lating and pleasant communal
and social activities—to picture
the army of despair, straggling
across Europe, with• tatters for
banners and only bared breasts
for shields. And we ask them to
help in this greatest catastrophe
and greatest emergency the Jew-
ish people have ever faced. We
appeal to them to meet the
greatest test of our humanity in
modern times. Every one of us
must be willing and ready to
do her part to the fullest ex-
tent."
