Two Regional Zionist Conferences Here
Launch 13 States' ZOA Membership Drive
Joint conferences of the North
Central Zionist Region and the
Central States Zionist Region, held
here during the past weekend at
the Zionist Cultural Center, in-
augurated a drive for 10,000 new
members in the 13 states that com-
prise the two regions.
In a major address at the Sat-
urday night session, Arnold R.
Ginsburg of Philadelphia, national
ZOA membership chairman, de-
scribed the urgency of large-scale
membership enrollments as means
of strengthening the public rela-
tions program of the movement.
Guest speakers at the confer-
ence included Jacob Snyder of
New York, national chairman of
the American Zionist Fund, and
Sholem Ettinger of Indianapolis,
co-chairman of the national ZOA
administrative board.
Louis Panush headed the Detroit
arrangements committee for the
conference.
Panush also headed the resolu-
tions committee which prepared
declarations in support of the
membership drive, calling for in-
creased efforts in defense of Israel,
protesting Ritssian persecution of
Hall of Fame
By RABBI SAMUEL SILVER
(A Seven Arts Feature)
The Hall of Fame is a balustrade
in a courtyard of the uptown
branch of New York University
in the Bronx. There we find busts
of famous Americans who are se-
lected by a special committee
every five years.
Up to this year no Jew had ever
been chosen by the committee
(which is not part of the univer-
sity) for the Hall of Fame.
Aaron Rabinowitz, a realtor and
builder who has become one of
the nation's leading philanthropists,
was most eager that the Hall of
Fame should pick Lillian Wald.
Rabinowitz was Wald-minded not
because she was Jewish but be-
cause she was one of the most
, influential personages in the his-
tory of our nation.
Not only had she befriended
Rabinowitz when she was young,
but Lillian Wald, in her Henry
Street Settlement, in downtown
New York, had pioneered in a host
of social service and nursing
ideas.
Out of her immersion in Jewish
idealism, Miss Wald created a
settlement house which not only
provided recreation and education
for the dwellers in ghettoes, but
which radiated out to become the
cornerstone of the New Deal philo-
sophy: the obligation of the haves
for the alleviation of the plight of
the have-nots.
Miss Wald's friends were the
Roosevelts, the Lehmans, the Mor-

genthaus and many others. A spin-
ster, she lived and - died in West-
port, honored by millions.
To get the Hall of Fame folks to
select Miss Wald, Aaron Rabino-
witz mounted a campaign like that
of an election effort, mobilizing
people and printing brochures and
buttonholing all and sundry.
Finally Rabinowitz was suc-
cessful, and the Hall of Famers
voted Lillian Wald into the pan-
theon. At the same time, another
person of Jewish origin (not much
in the way of Jewish attachment)
was honored too: the late Dr. Al-
bert Michelson, a Nobel Prize-win-
ner in science.
Jews and providing added encour-
agement to public relations activi-
ties to refute Arab propaganda and
the dangers stemming from bigo-
try that is being injected on uni-
versity campuses.
Out of town delegates from 10
cities represented at the confer-
ence were guests of the Zionist
Organization of Detroit at the Bal-
four Concert Sunday night.
The conference luncheon Sun-
day was addressed by Ettinger,
Snyder and .Joseph Fremland of
St. Paul.
Morton Wax of Wilwaukee,
presided at the opening session
which was followed by a women's
discussion, addressed by Mrs.
Arnold Ginsburg o fPhiladelphia
and presided over by Mrs. Norma
T. Hudosh of Detroit.
Cantor Jacob IL Sonenklar, ac-
companied by Mrs. Herzl Shur,
provided a musical program Sat-
urday night.
Participants in the sessions on
aliya, youth work, fund-raising,
membership and public relations
included Richard Krimer, Dr. Sid-
ney Z. Leib, Dr. Joel I. Hambur-
ger, Mrs. Philip Slomovitz, Dr.
Elie D. Abonlafia, all of Detroit;

Harold Rosenberg, Dayton; Mr.
