CONGRESSMAN BLOOM IS PREPAHING A STATEMENT
WASHINGTON._'ri.c House' For- ciRti Adair'i Committee at its second Iicari.iK tcgai'diii;; the proposed confer¬ ence for revision- of the, ciUl calendar liearrl Dr. C. F. Marvin, diiet of tlic United States Wcatlicr Bureau, who tes¬ tified at length concerning tie'liijiorical bacltground of the present calendar. Cou- Krciiiman Sol Bloom, a member of (lie connniltee, cross-examined Ur. Marvin rcKarrfing the effect of the proposed change in calendar on the Jewish Sab¬ bath and other religious holidays.
Dr. Marvin admitted that the proposed 13 months calendar would result itl at Iea.st one "floating" Jewish Sabhath dur¬ ing the year, that is to say, (he Jewish Sabb.itli would fall on a day other than the present civil Saturday.
A subcommittee was named to arrange for testimony by various religious bodies, including the Jewish, in opposition to the proposed plaub for calendar revision.
Dr. Abram Simon of Washington, in¬ dicated the "whole-hearted app'rovaj" of the Synagogue Council of America tor participation in an international congress for calendar revision and said:'
"The Jewish people are not opposed to the general problem of calendar rt- forni. They are most urgent, however, in having a provision for a fixed peri¬ odicity of the seventh day Sabbath sp that the regular sequence of the .seven- day week shall ii) no wise be interrupted by the migratory or so-called 3Soth day of the year."
Dr. Simon expressed hope that if the resolution introduced by Representative Porter requesting the President to calf an intern,ational conference for revision of the calendar was [las'sed and approved, the dominant religious bodies in this country should have representation in the

two plans for calendar reform now under discussion was adopted, the effect would be to create a "wandering" or "migra¬ tory" Sabbath.
Mr. Bloom contended that if the bjanlc day at the end of the year shoqid 'fall on what is now Saturday, the next day, which is now Sunday, would under 'the proposed revision be Monday, In other words, both plans project the Sabbath and make its recurrence vary inst^d 'of fixed as at present.
"What is the objection to the change?''- Representative Cole of Iowa asked. ~' "In all the changes that have be^rf made in the calendar in the past, \av9 the week days or the Lord's Day .ever been changed?" Mr. Bloom rejoined.//' "Do >ou think our Sabbath or Simdfty is still identical v;ith creation?" Mr. Cole continued.
"No one has ever challenged it—ab^o* lately," replied Mr. Qloom, ''' '
Dr. Marvin was asked by Represent¬ ative Cooper of 'Wisconsin if he con¬ sidered that Sunday was set asidd through a literal interpretation of Gen¬ esis. Dr. Marvin said he understo^'itf was the result of the Fourth 'Conmtafltl^ meiit of Moses. ,\
Mr. Bloom then suggested tli^t ttie "wandering" Sundays niight be car^ for by saving up the blank j^ays. and (u!dii)if> another w^ek every six years or another mofith every twenty-three years.  ,

CLAIM NUMBER OE JEWISH COMMUNISTS 50,000
MOSCOW-~The Yevsektzia, Jewish section of thc Communist party, known for its ruthless fight against Jewish reli¬ gious institutions in Soviet Russia, has r>O,000 nicnibcrjs, it is stated here in con¬ nection with the tenth anniversary of its existence, which will shortly be celebrated by the Commnnists. . *
It was also staled that the Jewish mem¬ bership i n ' the .Xomsomol, Communist youth organization, reaches a figure of nearly 100,000.
who have recently immigrated there. A center in Havana as recreation quarters for the immigrant men, women and girls and as .i bureau of advice and informa¬ tion, has already Ibeeti established by the CciUro'I<iraclita de Cuba, but adequate housing and protection for newly ar-- ri\ed unacconipaiiied Jewish girls is now being planned. A subsidy will be granted by thc Council's Department of Irnmi- ijrant Aid and Immigrant Education for furthering the plaub of thc Cenlro tsraelita de Cuba for the protection of these girls.
Miss Lasker further stated tliat thq Dei»arUTient of Immigrant Aid and Im^ migrant Education ib at present cO' operating with local Council Sections in E! Paso nud in San Diego in an effort to develop a social program on behalf of Jewibh immigrants btraiuled in Mexico, across thc border of these tw^o cities.
Altliough immigration has been greatly decreased,- the Department of Immigrant Aid and Immigrant lidncalion of the \ation<ii Council of Jewibh Women ex¬ plained Miss Laskcr, has found it neces¬ sary to increase its efforts in behalf of. the foreign Ijorn in the United States, whose educational interests were, neces- barily neglected during the period preced¬ ing the war, when immigration was on such a tremendous scale, and during the period of the war, when many other questions demanded thc facilities and at¬ tention of thc Department and of the Council Sections'with their local com¬ mittees on immigrant aid and immigrant education,
In an address broadcast over Station WMSG, 'Miss Laskcr presented the fol-
agrcenienl juiong those who ha\e given careful tiiought to this question that up to recent years adequate efforts were not made to draw thc foreign born into the structure of our political and cultural life.
"It is  to  the  credit of the  National Council of Jewish Women that it was one of the first private organizations to recognixc   this   situation.     Through   its Depjrtmcnt of Immigrant Aid the Coun¬ cil at its inception initiated a progratn of immigr.int education, accepting the re- bponsibility of helping our foreign born neighbors   to   learn   the   language   and customs of this country, assisting them to become citizens and encouraging them to take an active part in American life. "Special morning and afternoon classes for foreign born women and girls unable to attend regular pu'blic school cvenins; classes have been organized by the Coun¬ cil of Jewish Women in nearly 100 cities in the United States.    During  the past year nearly 12,000 women and girls have attended English and Citizenship classes conducted by Council Sections through¬ out the country.    It is our earnest con¬ viction that by helping tlic foreign born to learn the language and customs  of this  country;" by assisting them to'be¬ come citizens' of thc United States, by encouraging them to participate in every way possible in American life,  we are helping to solve one of the fundamental social   problems   facing  America  today, and  so arc making a real contribution not only to the fordgn born, but to the native born as well.   Who can doubt thc beneficial results to be achieved through efforts of this kind?"
