Gift TO Hebrew Schools' Scholar-
' ship Fund by Bar-Mitzvah
In Honor of Parents
The Hebrew Schools are the
recipients of two scholarships to
the scholarship fund from San-
der Bernstein in honor of his
parents, Drs. Albert E. and Eu-
genia May Bernstein, on the oc-
casion of his Bar Mitzvah.
While the school has been re-
ceiving scholarships for many
years, this is the first time that
a scholarship is being given by
a boy out of his own funds. San-
der Bernstein made this gift tc
the scholarship fund out of the
money which he received as
r•ifts on the occasion of his Bar
Mitzvah.
DETROIT JEWISH CHRONICLE and the Legal Chronicle
ZIONISTS
(Continued from Page 1)
qualified should organize and
permit to be organized commit-
tees to present their virtues and
policies to the Zionists of Amer-
ica. But surely no Zionist, free
from partisanship and interested
only in maximum achievement
for Palestine in the United States
will condone agitation which sac-
rifices Zionism to personal am-
bition, which deliberately sets
up section against section, group
against group, and proclaims far
and wide that the Zionist Organ-
ization of America has been
marked by—to quote language
extensively used—ineptness, in-
efficiency and stagnation. The
belief is being deliberately cre-
ated that there has been no pro-
gress in American Zionism; that
the Zionist Organization of
America has steadily declined in
influence and prestige; that the
sum total of years of activity has
been a failure. It would indeed be
tragic is these statements were
true; if, taking only the period
since 1932, covering the adminis-
trations of Judge Morris Rothen-
berg, Dr. Stephen S. Wise and
Dr. Solomon Goldman, American
Zionist history were a record of
dismal failure. Happily these
statements are not true and those
who circulate them are guilty of
malicious misrepresentations."
Basing its analysis on official
records, the statement shows a
constant rise in the organiza-
tion's membership and influence.
From a membership of 8484 in
1932, when Robert Szold headed
the administration, the enroll-
ment progressed to a member-
ship of 45,558 in 1939 when Dr.
Goldman completed his first year
in the Presidency and when he
expressed high satisfaction with
the results then attained.
Analyzed in the light of the
actual facts, Dr. Goldman's "Re-
organization Plan" is shown in
the statement to contain no fun-
damental changes in policy. Pri-
marily a scheme of departmental-
ization which offered "nothing
new or fundamental" it was pre-
dicated upon the ability of the
Zionish Organization of America
to enlarge its annual budget
from $186,500 to $250,000.

Dr. Joseph J. Robbins of Nashua,
N. H.; Rabbi Joshua Liebman,
Rabbi Joseph Shubow, Coleman
Silbert of Boston, Senator Jacob
Weiss of Indianapolis, and a num-
ber of others.
The plan of action includes,
among other things, an immedi-
ate inclusion of new forces into
the movement. The committee has
surveyed the problem and has
sought suitable figures in Amer-
ican Jewish life who could be
induced to become active in the
leadership of the movement, espe-
cially such personalities as have
been identified with the movement
for many years. In order to draw
these figures into the work, it
has been proposed to name a per-
sonality as representative of such
persons in the position of leader-
ship in the movement. In casting
about for such a personality, the
name of Edmund I. Kaufmann
of Washington, D. C., has been
mentioned. It is felt by the com-
mittee for Zionist action that
every effort be made to draft
Mr. Kaufmann for the leadership
of the organization.
Resolutions urging the election
of Mr. Kaufmann were adopted
by the New York State Empire
Region, by the Seabord Region
and the Mid-West Zionist Re-
gion.
From present indications, the
Detroit delegation to the con-
vention, to be held in Pittsburgh
starting on June 29, will support
Mr. Kaufmann's candidacy.

Receives Gift of
Symphonic Recordings
The Music Department of the
Jewish Community Center has
just been made the recipient of
a gift of symphonic recordings.
The gift came from Mr. and Mrs.
Abraham Cooper and is present-
ed in honor of the graduation of
the two Cooper children, Wini-
fred Cooper from the University
of Michigan, and Harriet Cooper
from Kingswood.
The Second World War will h
bring further economic dislo-
cations that cannot help but
bring new disasters upon world
Jewry but it will neither destroy
the Jewish people nor Judaism
nor will it spell the end of the
Jewish community in Palestine
and the Zionist experiment.
These conclusions were shared
by the two participants in a
symposium on "The Jewish Peo-
ple in the World of Today," Wed-
nesday evening, as one of the
features of the convention.
Dr. Jacob R. Marcus, profes-
sor of history at the Hebrew
Union in Cincinnati, presented a
paper on "Mass Migrations of
the Jews and Their Effects Upon
Jewish Life" while Rabbi Julius
Gordon of St. Louis addressed
the Conference on "Palestine, Its
Part in Jewish Life and Litera-
ture."
"Should the present war spread
to the Eastern end of the Medi-
terranean," Rabbi Gordon pre-
dicted, "the settlement in Pales-
tine would inevitably suffer.
Cities and colonies may go up in
flames. Our youth in Palestine
may be decimated. The economic
and political status of Palestine
may be seriously impaired. But
even such a catastrophe would
not spell the end of the Jewish
community in Palestine. Nor
would it spell the end of the
Zionist movement. The same zeal
which has enabled our people
to overcome insuperable difficul-
ties in the past will help us
build a new •,world upon the ruins
and the ashes of the old."
Dr. Marcus, although he too
maintained that the "Second
World War" will spell calamity
for the Jewish people, was slight-
ly less optimistic about the fu-
ture of Palestine. "One must
face the possibility," he said,
"that Palestine may not in our
generation develop into a cen-
ter for mass flight." The well-
known Jewish historian traced
the mass migrations to which
Jews have been subjected in the
past and concluded that their ef-
fect has invariably been crush-
ing both to the physical life of
the Jew and to the cultural
standards he had built up.
Rabbi Gordon contended that
the events of the past decade
necessitate a reevaluation of the
attitude of Reform Judaism to-
wards Zionism. He cited the
role of Palestine as "a door of
hope" for refugees and declared
that "The significance of the re-
turn to the soil of the land of
our fathers cannot be over-em-
phasized."
