Organization Will Establish
Project in Palestine
As Memorial

NEW YORK—Hadassah, the
Women's Zionist Organization of
America, announced here that Dr.
Yehudah M. Bavly, deputy di-
rector and treasurer • of" the Ha-
dassah Medical Organization in
the Holy Land, died on July 6,
in the Rothschild-Hadassah-Uni-
versity Hospital, Mt. Scopus,
Jerusalem, Palestine, after a long
illness. He was 41.
A few months before his death,
"Dr. Bavly changed his last name
from 'Bromberg' to its current
Hebrew version as a sign of his
deep affiliation with Palestine
and the restitution of the Jewish
people in their own Homeland,"
•Mrs. David de Sola Pool, na-
tional president of Hadassah, said
in making the announcement.
He leaves a widow, Mrs. Sarah
Bavly, who is nutrition director
of the Hadassah Medical Organ- -
ization and head of its emergency
feeding program for 25,000 chil-
dren; and a son and a daughter.
The national board of Hadas-
sah voted $10,000 to establish the
.Bavly. Medical Fund as a memor-
ial. Some project of medical
service in which Dr. Bavly was
vitally interested, will be pro-
vided from this grant, Mrs. Pool

American boys are dying on foreign
battlefields."

Although scores of American commun-
ities have adopted the "release time" pro-
gram providing for religious instruction
off school premises during an hour when
the schools release pupils for this type of
instruction, the Public Education Associa-
tion has issued a report denouncing the
widely spreading system as an invasion
of the "fundamental ideal of separation
of the church and state."

Discussing the effect of the abrogation
by General Henri Giraud of the Cremieux
decree on the eve of the French North
African Administrator's visit to the United
States, Edwin L. James, managing editor
of the New York Times, predicted that
the State Department would restore the
decree, which in 1870 granted citizenship
rights to Algerian Jews, if certain conces-
sions could at the same time be worked
out for the Arabs.

There were 170,120 Jews in Canada in
1941, an increase of 8.54% during the de-
cade since 1931, when the Jewish popula-
tion numbered 156,726, according to statis-
tics which have now been made public by
the Canadian Jewish Congress on the
basis of a study prepared for its Bureau
of Social and Economic Research by Louis
Rosenberg, noted economist and statis-
tician.
