eluding $1,200 donated this sum-
mer by friends in honor of his
50th birthday.
In the past, Dr. Leach says, he,
Mr. Kaufman and Beth El Rab-
bi Emeritus Richard Hertz re-
viewed applications for the
scholarships and designated
awards to recipients.
"Last year, they wanted eight
recipients and I wanted five," Dr.
Leach says. "They agreed to
five."
This year, Dr. Leach says he
was not contacted to review the
applications in a meeting.
Eventually, the committee
worked over the telephone. He
says Rabbi Hertz and Mr. Kauf-
man want to give money to
every applicant. Dr. Leach
wants to give the funds to the
three most needy.

A dispute
over
direction.

"I don't know these people,"
he says. "I just know that $400-
500 can't buy much, but $2,200
can." He also says that two of
the applicants on the temple's
list should be disqualified be-
cause they are not temple mem-
bers.
Thomas Jablonski is Beth El's
executive director. Dennis
Frank, a certified public ac-
countant, chairs the committee
that oversees 120 philanthropic
funds at the temple. Both ques-
tioned the propriety of a donor
directing where the funds would
be used.
"This was getting too gray for
us to handle," Mr. Frank says.
The temple, in a letter to Dr.
Leach, offered to return this
year's $5,000 contribution.
The $1,200, they say, is in an-
other category. "That money was
contributed to the temple and is
not appropriate to return to him,"
Mr. Jablonski says.
"What Dr. Leach is doing," Mr.
Frank says, "is a change from
what has been done in the past.
Once a donation (the original
agreement) has been made, you
can't say what to do with that
money. You can't direct a con-
tribution. Once it's made, it's out
of your control."
Dr. Leach disagrees. For the
last four years he's had his way,
"but now they say, `If you don't
do it our way, we'll just dissolve
the fund."
"My friends say to take the
money and go elsewhere. But my
parents were members here
since they were married by Rab-
bi (B. Benedict) Glazer in 1942.
And I've been a member for 25
years."
The issue will continue to sim-
mer until Herbert Kaufman re-
turns and the scholarship
committee can meet again. El
