merit Committee, to be constituted
in the same manner as in 1940.
The Negotiators
The negotiations leading to this
agreement were conducted on be-
half of the J.D.C. by Edward M.
M. Warburg, chairman of the J.
D.C., Harold F. Linder and Dr.
Solomon Lowenstein, vice-chair-
men of the J.D.C., all of New
York, and on behalf of the U.P.
A. by Dr. Abba Ilillel Silver, of
Cleveland, national chairman of
the U.P.A., and Dr. Stephen S.
Wise and Judge Morris Rothen-
berg, of New York, national co-
chairmen of the U.P.A,
The meeting at which the Uni-
ted Jewish Appeal was reconsti-
tuted was attended by Dr. Silver,
Rabbi Stephen S. Wise, Judge
Rothenberg, Mr. Warburg, Paul
Baerwald, honorary chairman of
the J. D. C.; Rabbi Jonah B.
Wise, chairman of the fund-rais-
ing committee of the J.D.C.; Fred-
erick F. Greenman; Isidor Coons,
national director of the fund-
raising of the J. D. C. and Henry
Montor, executive director of the
United Palestine Appeal.
Emphasizing that the leadership
of the constituent agencies of the
United Jewish Appeal had re-
sponded to Jewish public opinion
in America in bringing about a
re-establishment of a combined
campaign for 1941, Rabbi Silver
and Rabbi Wise declared that the
United Jewish Appeal had every
right to expect an enlarged meas-
ure of support "on the basis of
the pledges that have been given
toward the re-establishment of a
unified campaign organization for
three important causes."
Hollander Welcomes 1941 UJA
The agreement for a 1941 Uni-
ted Jewish Appeal will remove
the "befogging issue" and misin-
terpretation which had developed
around the referendum being con-
ducted by the Council of Jewish
Federations and Welfare Funds
on the proposal for a national
advisory budget service, Sidney
Hollander of Baltimore, president
of the Council, declared in a let-
ter to member agencies, notifying
them of the reestablishment of
the U.J.A.
Asserting that local communi-
ties will welcome the decision of
the J.D.C., U.P.A. and N.R.S., to
join hands again, Mr. Hollander
declared that fears of competition
and conflict among overseas and
refugee agencies will now be
eliminated and local welfare
funds will be permitted to de-
vote their energies wholeheartedly
to achieving maximum results in
this year's campaigns.
The break-up of the U.J.A. in
1940, he said, had confused con-
sideration of the referendum on
the advisory budget proposal and
had laid it open to misinterpreta-
tion "as a contest between speci-
tic agencies." Now, he said, mem-
ber agencies of the Council will
be able to consider the matter on
its own intrinsic merit.
Since the J.D.C. and the U.P.A.
have decided on a formula for
dividing U.P.A. funds for 1941,
Mr. Hollander said, the "B" sec-
tion of the referendum, proposing
that a special commission be set
up to consider the needs of the
J.D.C., U.P.A. and N.R.S., is not
of .immediate consequence. He urg-
ed, however, that member agen-
cies take favorable action on prop-
osition "A", that a national ad-
visory budgeting service be set
up to study national and over-
seas agencies appealing to local
communities for support. Without
such a service, Mr. Hollander said,
"the same uncertainties and con-
flicts which were so disturbing
in recent months are likely to be
continued."
(Comments on the reconsti-
tuted drive and the resumption
of unity will be found in the
Editorial and PLrely Commen-
tary columns on pages 4 and
5 of this issue.)

DETROIT JEWISH CHRONICLE and the Legal Chronicle

resided in Canada, asserted that
Palestine Jewry is prepared to put
in the field a force of some 40,000
men to fight alongside the British
forces for the protection of its
frontiers in the remote contin-
gency that the Germans should
break through to Syria.
In his address Dr. Joseph said
that "since the outbreak of the
war there have been two phases
in the development of the politi-
cal and military situation in the
Near East. At the beginning Brit-
ain together with France and al-
lied with Turkey, was in complete
control of the Eastern Mediter-
ranean with no imminent danger
threatening from any point; later
developments — the collapse of
France, Italy's entry into the war
and German pressure in the Bal-
kans—changed the picture com-
pletely. French Syria became a
source of weakness and danger
rather than of strength and pro-
tection. Following the Italian ad-
vance upon Egypt and its at-
tempt at invasion of Greece, Pal-
estine too, was the target of at-
tack by Italian bombers. Then
came the reversal which every
newspaper reader knows so well."
Proclaim Zionist Youth Month
The four-week period beginning
March 16 has been proclaimed as
Zionist Youth Month devoted to
discussions of youth and educa-
tional problems and the holding
of youth rallies by Zionist Dis-
tricts and groups throughout the
country, according to an announce-
ment by the headquarters of the
Zionist Organization of America
here.
Youth Month, which is being
sponsored by the ZOA Department
of Youth and Education, of which
Dr. Samuel M. Blumenfield is di-
rector, will be observed with com-
munity-wide meetings in all large
cities of America, sponsored joint-
ly by Zionist and general Jewish
Youth organizations.
On the occasion of Zionist
Youth Month, Dr. Blumenfield, in
a call to Zionist cultural leaders,
stressed the need for "adult Zion-
ists to take stock of their efforts,
achievements and failures in
bringing Zionism to their chil-
dren and to the children and
young people of their neighbors."

Prof. Mischa Titiev
To Address Shaarey
Zedek Men's Club

The Men's Club of Shaarey will
present an interesting evening on
Wednesday, April 2, in the social
hall of the congregation with
Mischa Titiev, assistant professor
of anthoropology at the University
of Michigan, who will give an
illustrated talk on the subject
of "Physical Aspects of the Jew-
ish Problem." What is a Jewish
Face? Can you distinguish by
facial appearance a Jew from a
Frenchman, Armenian, Persian,
Turk, Arab, Spaniard, Italian or
even a non-Jewish American be-
yond a reasonable shadow of a
doubt? Is there a Jewish face?
Hitler says there is. Anthropolo-
gists say otherwise. If you want to
find out for your own satisfac-
tion how to avoid embarrassment,
attend this illustrated lecture.
Mischa Titiev was born in Rus-
sia and received his academic
training at the Boston Latin
School, 1915-19, his Bachelor of
Arts degree from Harvard Uni-
versity in 1923, Master of Arts
from the Harvard Graduate School
of Arts and Sciences in 1924, and
the doctor of philosophy degree
from the same school in 1935.
He tutored in anthropoligy
1921-23; assistant in anthropoligy
in Harvard Summer Session in
1936 and was appointed instructor
in anthropology at the University
of Michigan in 1936, later being
made assistant professor in the
same department. Prof. Titiev has
done much research in anthropol-
ogy among the Indians in Ari-
zona and New Mexico and has
published his findings in the Amer-
ican Arfiropologist. He is an

Famous Piano Due to Be
Closing Attraction of
Fisher Town Hall Mar. 19

The internationally f a in o u s
piano duo of Jacques Fray and
Mario Braggiotti will be the clos-
ing attraction of the Detroit
Town Hall in the Fisher Theater
Wednesday, March 19, at 11 a. in.
The team was brought to
America by George Gershwin for
whom they played a number of
concerts on the continent, and
several command performances
for the Prince of Wales and the
King of Spain in 1929.
Fray and Bragiotti met and
merged their pianos in Paris 12
years ago. Mr. Fray was a friend
of Maurice Ravel at the Sor-
bonne, and it was largely at
Ravel's insistence that he forsook
the study of banking and finance
to follow music.
These two young men pioneer-
ed against the flat treatment of
two-piano music as exemplified
in two-piano works of even the
greatest composers—developed a
rich, orchestral treatment of their
own. They select their programs
fro mtheir own entirely original
two-piano library which ranges
from Bach to Gershwin.
