include the presentation of char-
ters to the organizations within
the next month, according to Da-
vid I. Rosin, president of the
Grea,ter Detroit Bnai Brith Coun-
cil agency sponsoring the ne,v
groups.

dore Starr, a Yiddish speaking
lodge and a new English speak-

to make a presentation of the
charters at the public meeting
scheduled by the Council for
Wednesday, Mar. 13, at the Stat-
ler Hotel.
With the membership campaign
of the Council in its final stages,
appearances indicate that the an-
ticipated increase in local mem•
hership by 2000 persons, making
a total men's lodge membership
of more than 6500, will be reach-
ed; this will make Detroit's men's
and women's groups in the or-
ganization include more than
9500 persons in the city.
David Kurzman is in charge of
the, Statler meeting, while Sam
Hersch is city chairman of mem-
bership for the men.

Pisgah Lodge
The Father and Son party of
Pisgah Lodge has become an
event to which many members
look forward year after year,
even more so is this true of the
youngsters. It will be held again
this year on Sunday afternoon,
Feb. 17, at 2:00 o'clock at the
Jewish Community Center.
The committee in charge has
arranged a fine program of en-
tertainment for the youngsters
as well as the adults, consisting
of movies and acts of various
kinds.
Monday, Feb. 18, at 8:30 p.m.,
in the auditorium of the Jewish
Center, the lodge will celebrate
Brotherhood Week. The cultural
program committee has provided
three outstanding cultural events
for this occasion.
Dr. Edgar DeWitt Jones, an
eminent authority on the life of
Lincoln,' will speak on the topic,
"Lincoln and Liberty." Lr. Jones
is well known to the Jewish
public for his great oratorical
ability and his reputation as an
outstanding liberal. He has ac-
complished a tremendous amount
of good through his visits to var-
ious camps throughout the coun-
try under the auspices of the
Round Table. As a member of a
team of three representing the
three faiths, Dr. Jones has ad-
dressed millions of soldiers on
the subject ' of 'tolerance and has
thereby made an enormous con-
tribution to this cause.
An unusual cultural event for
a lodge will be provided by the
Catholic Players. The Catholic
Players, an organization of actors
of unusual ability, will render a
short play called "The Storm."
This play depicts the life of Mary
Todd Lincoln, who played such
an important, as well as such a
tragic role in the life of Abraham
Lincoln and, though a very in-
teresting character is yet so very
little known. "The Storm" is a
prize winning play and should
prove extremely interesting.
Finally, to round out a full and
complete evening, the eminent
Henry Seigel and his famous vi-
olin will provide soft pleasant
music for the evening.
In the full spirit of Brother-
hood, Pisgah members are urged
to bring a non-Jewish friend to
this meeting. S.H.F'
(Continued from page 1)
Minneapolis, was elected secre-
tary; Ira M. Younger, of New
York, treasurer, and H. L. Lurie,
executive director. '
A resolution extolling Mr. Hol-
lander for "his courageous, vi-
gorous and independent leader-
ship" was adopted by acclamation
by the delegates.
The Board reelected William J.
Shroder, Cincinnati, as chairman.
Budgeting Attracts Crowd
Admittedly the national inter-
est aroused in the vote on na-
tional advisory budgeting attract-
ed the largest number of dele-
gates in the history of the Coun-
cil. The attendance of delegates,
alternates, and visitors numbered
more than one thousand.
Isidore Sobeloff, executive di-
rector of the Jewish Welfare Fed-
eration of Detroit, who was chair-
man of the Council's special corn-
mittee on financing, reported that
national and overseas Jewish or-
ganizations which raised $52,000,-
000 in 1945 are presenting budgets
that are expected to aggregate
almost $140,000,000 this year.
Overshadowing all other phases
in the situation in which Ameri-
can Jewish communities find
themselves as they survey their
problems at home and abroad,
Mr. Sobbloff said, is the precedent
shattering $100,000,000 of the Unit-
ed Jewish Appeal, which compares
with $35,000,000 raised in 1945.
A serious depression of pro-
longed duration could easily be-
come the basis of a fascist move-
ment in this country, Dr. Isador
Lubin, former U. S. Commissioner
of Labor Statistics, told the dele-
gates, and warned that the next
18 months will determine the
eventual course of American eco-
nomy.
The problem facing us, he de-
clared, is not merely reconver-
sion to peace "but rather recon-
version in a manner which will
make it possible to avert another
depression three or four years
hence." He further declared that
conditions today are more con-
ducive to dangerous inflation than
at the end of World War I.
Joseph Willen, executive vice-
chairman of the New York Fed-
eration of Jewish Philanthropies,
pointed out that few hospitals in
the country are equipped to treat
people suffering from mental and
emotional upsets and urged that
Jewish philanthropy take the
lead in building hospitals to fill
this gap.

versity of Michigan, former Na-
tional Refugee Service director.
Mrs. Levy Presents Program
A comprehensive program for
the relief, rehabilitation and re-
settlement of the 1,400,000 surviv-
ing Jews of Europe to be carried
on by American Jews through
the $100,000,000 nationwide United
Jewish Appeal for Refugees.
Overseas Needs and Palestine was
presented at the first evening
session of the General Assembly
by Mrs. David M. Levy of New
York, chairman of the National
Women's Division of the United
Jewish Appeal; Rabbi James G.
Heller of Cincinnati, retiring na-
tional chairman of the U.J.A., and
Reports on Education
Judge Louis E. Levinthal, vice
president of the American Asso-
ciation for Jewish Education, re-
ported a marked trend toward
the intensification of Jewish re-
ligious education In the United
States. Pointing out that the Jew-
ish educational institutions have
spent more than $10,000,000 in
1945, he predicted an even greater
expansion this year. Many com-
munities, he declared, have In-
creased their appropriation for
this purpose by more than 50
percent.
Other sessions dealt with prob-
lems of veterans, needs of small
communities, regional child care
programs, extension of the Coun-
cil's regional and community ser-
vices.
Daniel Shiman, president of the
Newark Jewish Community Coun-
cil, was chairman of the -Assem-
bly program committee. Judge
William Friedman, of Detroit,
headed the credentials committee,
Henry Wineman of Detroit was
chairman of the resolutions com-
mittee.
