Maurice Sugar's candidacy for
Judge of the Recordtr's Court is
arousing wide interest. It is gen-
erally believed that he has an
excellent chance of election on
April 7.
Born in Brimley, Mich., Aug.
8, 1891, Mr. Sugar was edu-
cated in Detroit schools, Central
It isn't too early to

High School and the University
of Michigan, from which he was
graduated with scholarship hon-
ors, having been selected as one
of the editors of the Michigan
Law Review.
His career as lecturer, in ad-
dition to his law work, dates
back to his college days. His
defense of labor began when he
became the attorney for the De-
troit Typographical Union in
1914. For more than 220 years
he has represented labor unions
in Detroit.
Some of the most important
law suits involving labor were
fought successfully by Mr.
Sugar.

A fighter against Fascism, anti-
Semitism and Negro discrimi-
nation, Mr. Sugar has been the
object of attacks by many
bigots. His friends this week
stated regarding his candidacy:
"By reason of his life-long ac-
tivities in fighting for the rights
of the people and the preserva-
tion of our democratic institu-
tions he has been the object of
poisonous attacks by reactionary
elements, including Gerald L. K.
Smith and the Black Legion. A
few years ago the exposure of
the Black Legion, and the con-
mession of its "trigger-man,"
Dayton Dean, brought to light
the fact that in a prior cam-
paign the Black Legion had
caused the issuance and distribu-
tion of forged leaflets, presuming
to have ban issued by the Com-
munist party, advocating the
election of Sugar on the ground
that he believed in killing peo-
ple, destroying churches, and
other vile and inhuman acts. This
vicious propaganda was intended
to deceive and influence large
groups of people, so that they
would vote against Sugar. The
truth is that Maurice Sugar has
all his life been an advocate of
peace, of orderly democratic proc-
esses, of liberty and equal rights
for all, of complete religious
freedom and tolerance, and of
the perpetuation of the rights
guaranteed to all Americans by
the Constitution of the United
States."

HARRY BRADLIN
1939, Mr. Bradlin broke all stiles
records in Grinnell's for a single
year.
Having been associated with
Grinnell's for only four years,
Mr. Bradlin's record is consider-
ed especially remarkable, since
his achievements in 1939 and
1940 give him a position of lead-
ership in the entire state as an
authority in piano salesmanship.
His geniality and pleasant per-
sonality are being credited with
the main reasons for his success.
Mr. Bradlin is receiving plaudits
from many quarters for his ac-
complishments.

More Support Is Urged
for War Emergency
Drive
An appeal by noted British
statesmen to, American Jews to
support Palestine as stronghold
in Britain's defense in the Mid-
dle East and to promote its up-
problem of the Jewish refugees,
building for the solution of the
was made public by Dr. Abba
Hillel Silver, national chairman
of the $12,000,000 war emer-
gency drive of the United Pales-
tine Appeal. The call for in-
creased aid came from Viscount
Cecil, Lord Snell, the Duke of
Devonshire and Colonel Josiah
Wedgwood, Laborite member of
Parliament.
The measure of American Jew-
ry's support of Palestine in the
current year must be weighed by
the role that "the Jewish Na-
tional Home can play in the pres-
ent war and in the solution of
Jewry's problems after the war",
Colonel Josiah Wedgwood said.
DR. ISRAEL GOLDSTEIN
Dr. Israel Goldstein, one of the
outstanding figures in American
Zionism and chairman of the

as president of the 1941 adminis-
tration of the Jewish National
Fund of America. For his eighth
consecutive term, Dr. Goldstein
will head the administration of
the American branch of the Keren
Kayerneth Le Israel, the instru-
ment of the Zionist movement for
the acquisition and reclamation
of the soil of Palestine as na-
tional and inalienable property.
The vote was cast at an an-
nual meeting held in the fund's
headquarters at 41 E. 42nd St.,
New York City, by the designated
delegates of the Zionist Organiza-
tion of America, Hadassah, the
Women's Zionist Organization of
America, the Order Sons of Zion,
the Mizrachi, Orthodox Zionist
Organization, Poale Zion-Zeire
Zion, Laborite Zionists, and rep-
resentatives of the public at
large. They elected a board of
directors of 51 and an adminis-
trative committee of 16 which
have been entrusted with the tasks
of raising and administering the
financial resources being contrib-
uted by American Jewry for the
furtherance of the Palestine Land
Fund's wartime program. Jacob
Sincoff and I. M. Kowalsky of
New York were chosen co-treas-
urers. Louis Segal of New York,
secretary, and Mendel N, Fisher

Palestine Jewry Contributed
7,000,000 to Rebuilding
Program Since 1936
Although the Jewish commu-
nity Palestine was confronted
with grave economic and politi-
cal problems during the past
four years, it nevertheless raised
a total of $7,293,177 for refugee
immigration, colonization, and
for the general development of
the Jewish National Home. This
sum was contributed by Palestine
Jews during the period from
April 1, 1936, to Aug. 31, 1940.
If American Jews had partici-
pated in the United Palestine
Appeal at the per capita rate
of the contribution made by the
average Palestinian Jew, the
United Palestine Appeal would
have received more than $60,-
000,000. Because of the demands
of the war, Palestine Jewry will
not be able to continue its con-
tributions to the national funds
in 1941. This is merely one in-
dication of how the war made
imperative the $12,000,000 quota
of the 1941 United Palestine Ap-
peal.
Rumania n Jewish Immigration
Into Palestine
Ever since the establishment
of the pro-Nazi regime in Ru-
mania, the position of the Jews
of that country has become
steadily worse. The Rumanian
Jews have, accordingly, first place
in the classification of the po-
tential immigrants to Palestine.
Possibilities of helping the Ru-
manian Jews have, however, been
considerably restricted by the
political events of the last few
months and particularly by the
drastic territorial changes which
involved the cession of whole
provinces, together with their in-
habitants, to Russia and Hun-
gary. The Rumanian Jewish corn-
munity which prior to these ces-
sions, numbered about 850,000,
has been cut off from some 350,-
000 of its members in Bessarabia
and Northern Bukovina, who now
share the fate of Russian Jewry,
and from another 150,000 Tran-
sylvanian Jews, who now belong
to Hungary. There remain 350,-
000 - 270,000 of whom live in
Riga, 45,000 in Rumanian Tran-
sylvania, and 30,000 in Rumanian
Bukovina.
