The Committee on Extension, whose program was under the chairman¬ ship of the-late Mrs. William Loeb of Providence, R.

Rrown, national chairman of the United Jewish Cam¬ paign, announced yesterday that close to a half million dollars had been re¬ ceived at headquarters during thc past ten days to be transmitted abroad im¬ mediately iu order promptly to afford some measure of relief to the destitute Jews of eastern Europe.
The actual suiy already rcceival is if46-l,W>0.-"iO. forwarded by state and city campair^n committees in response to an "S. O. S." message from Mr, Itrown in which he pointed out that during the past month thc conditions of the Jews in eastern Europe had become greatly aggravated nnd that unless help was afforded immediately many thousands would die, in addtti«m to those who had .'ilready .succumbed to starvatitm. Mr. Brown asked in his "S. O. S.'" that the state and community committees for¬ ward at once at least 10% of their first year's quota of the $1.5,000,01)0 "overseas chest", even if they had to borrow the money.
Among the city and state organizations that have already responded to Mr. Brown's "S. O. S." are Cleveland, Los Angeles, Texas, Chattanooga, Delaware, Douglas, Ariz.; Miami and Jackson¬ ville, Fla.; Springfield, 111.; Alexandria and Monroe, La.; Sumter, S. C.; Sum¬ mit, N.

Rose Brenner Began Her Public
Work at a Very Early Age —
Was but 42 Years Old at
Time of Death
WAS BELOVED BY WOMEN THROUGHOUT COUNTRY
ItKOOKLYN, N. Y.'-- Miss Uo«:e Bi-cmicr of this city, President of thc National Council of Jewish Women since 102ft, ditui on Monday :it the home of her brother, Arthur B. Brenner, HI'* Feiiinmrt' Street, Itruoklyii. Only lortv- iwo yc.irs old when her career came v* an eii'd, she had Ijcen called lo rcsponsi- hilitv in or^i<iiii/ed Jcvvi'-h work at an nnuiually early ;igo. Slie bsid only graduated from Adclplii College when slie was asked to assume a chairtnan- sliip ill (he Itronklvii Council Section ,or whicli she ber\cd a.-) President for a period ftf si.x years,  from 1JU2 to liUi*.
Wlicn she was stricltcn she was spend¬ ing the afternoon of the Passover holi¬ day with her friend and fellow officer, Mrs. ILstelle M. Sternberger, lixecntive Secretary of the .National Council of Jewish Women.
During thc presidency of .\ris5 Mrcn- iier, the X.Ltional Council of Jewish Women attained a world-wide inHnencc that was unparallelf<l in its history. Its membership in the United States and . Canada grew fiom :W,00(> to 5i,O00 dur¬ ing the si^. years of her leadership. The ork   (luring  this   period   in-
years thereafter he was Field Secretary of the National Conference of Jevvi.sh Charities. He also occupied many im¬ portant   executive   positions   on   charit>'

We interesting- biography is at present ap¬ art tremendousl> encouraged by tbis {pearing jilendid   response,   which   indicates  the I     The regular  Sund.iy mnrning  service
determinatiqn of .American Jewry to put this campaign over the lop. It is note¬ worthy that in many communities from which the response has come iu full measure there has "been no drive as yet, and the money was obtained either by thc personal contributiAns of the local committeemen, or by their underwriting loans from local banks.
"Indeed, so great is our encouragemeht that we feel now that we ought to for¬ get that we have asked for $1.5,000,000 and make the goal of this campaign $->5,0(H),000. I am sure that this larger sum will be obtained from the Jews of this country who arc now beginning to realize the full extent of thc terrific tragedy which has overwhelmed mil¬ lions of their coreligionists across thc seas. My only regret is that we did not know all of thc facts when this campaign began—that we did not know the full extent of the need. Had we known this last September, we could have called upon the Jews of this coun¬ try for f5O,00O.OOO, and they would have responded 100%."
