Noted Christian and Jewish Leaders to Discuss-"The Rescue
of the Jews in Europe" at Convention Banquet of
District Grand Lodge No. 6 Next. Wednesday
The annual convention of District Grand Lodge No. 6 of
Bnai Brith, which will be held here from July 7 to 11 at
the Book-Cadillac Hotel, assumes nationwide significance
with the announcement made this week by Dr. Lawrence
I. Yaffa, chairman of the convention committee, that the
convention banquet speakers on Wednesday evening, July
10, at the Masonic Temple, will;
be Earl G. Harrison and Henry
Monsky, national president of
Bnai Brith. They will participate
in a discussion of the theme "The
. Rescue of the Jews in Europe."
Fighters for Justice
Dr. Harrison, dean of the Uni-
versity of Pennsylvania Law
School, former director of immi-
gration and naturalization in the
U. S. Department of Labor, is
recognized today as one of the
world's outstanding authorities on
the problem of the European Jew-
ish survivors. After his mission
to Europe, he issued a scathing
denunciation of the military au-
thorities in Europe for their mis-
treatment of the surviving Jews
and urged the immediate settle-
ment of at least 100,000 Jews in
Palestine. His report aroused
worldwide interest and discus-
sions. His evidence in Washing-
ton before the Anglo-American
Inquiry Committee on Palestine
was considered among the most
effective statements in behalf of
the Jewish survivors.
Other Speakers
Amon& the prominent Bnai
Brith leaders who* will address
the convention here will be:
Dr. Abram L. Sachar, national
director of Hillel Foundations
and Bnai Brith Youth Organiza-
tions.
Dr. Silver and Dr. Wise Cable Organization's Unqualified

distinction of becoming the larg-
est drive in the United States thus
far to oversubscribe its quota for
the $100,000,000 campaign of the
United Jewish Appeal for Refu-
gees, Overseas Needs and Pales-
tine, by victoriously completing
a campaign that raised a total of
$6,051,187 or more than three
times the amount contributed last
year.
The Philadelphia campaign,
conducted under the extraordi-
nary leadership of Leonard B.
Geis, represented a community-
wide effort which brought home
to every person in the city—both
Jew and non-Jew—the issues at
stake in the desperate battle of
survival now being carried on by
the 1,400,000 Jewish survivors of
Europe.

NEW YORK.—The American Zionist Emergency Council,
speaking for the entire Zionist movement in the U. S., announced
its unqualified support for the organized and responsible resist-
ance forces of the Jews of. Palestine, the Haganah.
In a cable to the Jewish community of Palestine, signed by
Dr. Abba Hillel Silver and Dr. Stephen S. Wise, joint chairmen,
the Council declared, "We stand behind you in your - heroic strug-
gle and will give you every support which it is in our power
to render.
"To the organized and responsible resistance forces of the
Jews of Palestine, the Haganah, we send the expression of our
encouragement and admiration. Like the Revolutionaries of 1776,
you are fighting against tyranny and injustice.. The Jewish people,
which has survived Hitler, will survive alike the crassness and
cheap sneers of Mr. Bevin, and the brutal repression and new
appeasements of British imperialism."
$5,000,000 Fund to Aid Jewish Resistance in Palestine Proposed
ASBURY PARK, N. J., (JTA)—The creation of $5,000,000 fund
to aid the Jewish resistance movement in Palestine was suggested

of America, in an address to the 37th annual convention of the
Bnei Zion, meeting here.
Abraham A. Redeiheim of New York was elected president
of the organization, succeeding Louis Lipsky, at the convention's
closing session. Harry A. Pine of Newark was elected vice-presi-
dent; Jacob Ish-Kishor, secretary and Abraham Krumbein, treasurer.
California Police Probe
Synagogue Vandalism
SAN FRANCISCO. (JTA)—
California police authorities have
begun an investigation into a ser-
ies of desecrations of synagogues
and Jewish student clubs which
have taken place in San Francis-
co, Los Angeles and Berkeley.
The first vandalism was re-
ported from Hollywood where
hoodlums entered Temple Israel
and tore an ancient Torah to
pieces. They also scrawled swas-
tikas and anti-Jewish slogans in
German on the walls of the tem-
ple. Threatening letters were
sent to Dr. Max Nussbaum, rab-
bi of the temple.
Several days later the Temple •
Beth Sholom in San Francisco
was desecrated. The vandals
painted a cross and the letters
KKK on the walls. In Berkeley,
vandals damanged the club house
of Zeta Beta Tau, a Jewish colle-
giate fraternity. In LOS Angeles
a cross was -burned oil the lawn
of the same fraternity.
