have resulted in the discovery
The 54th annual convention of
the Central Conference of Amer-
ican Rabbis will be held in New
York June 22-27.
Among the highlights will be
the joint meeting with the Rab-
binical Assembly, the theme of
which will be "The Centrality of
the Synagogue in American Jew-
ish Life and Modes of Co-opera-
tion to the Attainment of that
End;" a Round Table discussion
on "The Compatibility of Zion-
ism with Reform Judaism"; ob-
servance of Religious Education
Day, with various reports on
Jewish Education; a symposium
on "Faith of the Jew in the
Armed Forces;" and religious
services on Friday evening at the
Free Synagogue and on Saturday

Explorations of Dr. Glueck
contradicted earlier authorities
since Sir George Adam Smith
who described the valley as un-
inhabitable because of the cli-
matic and health conditions. His
discoveries also confirmed the
biblical narrative in Genesis,
XIII, 10, where Lot described the
Jordan Valley as well watered
everywhere, "even as the garden
of the Lord."
The story of a culture starting
from the beginning of the 5th
century B. C. until the present
can be clearly read along the
banks of the river. It is now
well known that the earliest set-
tlements in Palestine were on the
coastal plains and in the Jordan
valley.
The ancient civilization of the
Jordan Valley is ascribed by
the American archaeologist to ir-
rigation. Undoubtedly tremen-
dous reservoirs of subsurface
water exist in this valley.

British Humor Magazine
Bans Jokes About Jews

LONDON (JTA) — Taking
into consideration the great
Jewish tragedy in Nazi Europe,
the popular London humorous
weekly "Tid-Bits" this week
announced that it will no
longer publish jokes about
Jews. The announcement adds
that its decision is motivated
also by the desire of the pub-
lishers not to furnish any ma-
terial to anti-Semites in view
of the growing anti-Jewish
propaganda in • England con-
ducted by anonymous fascist
elements.

dent; Ralph Wechsler of Newark
