Yon Shtnild Know
I'he air hereabouts is bu:^zing with a persistent rumor that if the United Jew¬ ish Appeal splits for the next senson, with separate campaigns fur the Zioni-st Or¬ ganization and the Joint DistrilnUion Committee, the dynamic David A. Brown will be in charge of the JDC sector... .'\ novel icfca has been put into play by New York's Federation, which is ex¬ hibiting arti.stic photographs in a local gallery, as well as [lictures by well-known illustrators, showing the work done by some of its afTiIiatcd charhablc organiza¬ tions., .Professor Albert Einstein, now in his .second year al the Institute for Advanced .Study at Princeton, has cx-
' pressed his conviction that what Ameri¬ can Jewry needs is a number of Jewish univer.sities...Which reminds us that it is Yeshiva College which has published a little booklet entitled "The Poetry of ^fatllclnatics and Other Essay.s" by Da¬ vid. K.. Smith, Professor Emeritus of Mnthcinatics .It Columbia's Teachers Col¬ lege..,They tell us that Bernard Kahn, former Imad of the Berlin JDC office, who has returned to Paris from his in¬ spection tour of Biro-Bidjan, is expected on these shores ere long,, .Congratula-
. linns to Pittsburgh's Kabbi Solomon B, Frccbof on his marriage to Miss Lillian Simon of Chicago, where Dr. Freehof occupied an important pulpit until his recent call to the Smoky Town's Rodeph Shalom Temple...
Hitting Hitler
Wc note with interest that the mayor of a Chechoslovakian town, called "a Hitler" by a dissatisfied member of the ..town council, had thq offender hailed into court, where a'fine was imposed on the grounds that the name of the Rcichs- fuchrer was "an objectionable expression,, rcllecting on the authority of the person attacked". ..The Bi-own Press please copy. ..Hitler's bodyguard, always im- pi'essive, has been increased tenfold since the Marseilles assassinations, wc learn... Presumably it is in order to reduce his personal appearances to a minimum that the Nazi government is planning to.make cheap television sets available to the Ger¬ man masscs-:-for.you can't shoot the man whom you see on the television screen... About People Good for Magistrate Anna M. Kross, who wants a new type of court—more humanly sympathetic and understanding —for women brought in- on vice charges ,, ,What these women neeil, .she declares, is a clinic rather than a court. ..Good, also, for Israel Sachs, president of a fur¬ niture company, who is following part , way in the footsteps of President Maurice Levin of the Hearn department stores'when he (Mr. Sachs) sets aside if;20,600 of his firm's profits for distribu¬ tion among its employes,. .The foxy Wil¬ liam Fox has gained another point in obtaining judicial permission to examine William E. Atkinson, president of Fox Theatres Corporation, on an alleged con- ¦ spiracy to relieve him of one of those cool millions...That Broadway columnist who announces that "Samuel Untermycr will acquire a substantial interest in a local gazette" may be interested to learn that the last statement of the ownership of J. David Stern's New York Post listed Mr. Untermyer among the share¬ holders...
The End of Don Juan Let us pause a moment to pay tribute to tbe memory of Lou Tellegcn, protege of Sarah Bernhardt and matinee idol of . a decade or two ago,.,Grown middle- aged, ill and discouraged, he himself rang down the curtain.. .Those of us who remember his as "Don Juan" were deeply shocked by the denouement of his career ...And those of you who never saw him can still learn how he looked in his prinie, for he was the model for Rodin's "Eternal Springtime," which now stands in New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art...
Behind the Scenes Old-timers of Broadway arc getting a thrill these days out of the exhibit at the Museum of the City of New York illus¬ trating the career of Charles Frohman, famous theatrical producer, vvho went down with the Lusitania in 1910...Mrs. Alnia IVforgcnlhau Wiener, sister of Treasury Sec. Henry, is having her trou¬ bles with a suit for royalties for the opera "Emperor Jones" brQUfjht hy Louis Gruenberg, the composer. ..From Macy's basement to the ritziest Rolls-Royce on the coast is the success story of Nonnan Krasna, who has a play called "Small Miracle" on Broadway and is writing for Columbia Pir'ires,. .P, S. He hasn't yet reached ' le tiuarter-ccntury mark.. Now that flicker-star Sari Maritza has, married MGM executive Sam^Katz it (Continued oti page 2)

MiLlnel Sharlitt, superintendent of the Clevd ind Jewish Orphan Home, said last; ^londay, "B'nai B'rith has always cbam- iionod the ideals and principles upon which this country was founded. It has fought with righteous vigor Anti-Semitic niovenichts which tend to subvert the best interests of the.nation's welfare. It has emphasized naturalization and good citi¬ zenship. It has stressed Judaism, as con- coiiiitant of unswerving Americanism..
The B'nai B'rith Membership Cam¬ paign proposes to enlist every Jew in.the army of B'nai B'rith in its constant war against ignorance and bigotry, represen¬ tative of those reactionary and subver¬ sive movements which arc attempting to undermine all that is good and pure and noble in the flag of our land.

"B'nai B'rith is over ninety-one years old and throughout its entire exi.stence has demonstrated its ability to rise to the occasion of offering shelter to the widow and the orphan, protecting the fair name of Judaism, and elevating the metital and m.oral character of .our people. It offers an unlimited field of service—it offers the opportunity to share community re¬ sponsibility—it offers a program of re¬ markable achievements in charitable, cul¬ tural and relief activity."

Baron Edmond De Rothschild
Noted Palestine Patron
Dies at the Age o( 89
I»ARTS (WNS)—The last surviving link between the original Mayer Amschcl Rothschild, founder of the famous family nf Jewish bankers and philanthropists, and the present far-fluiig and multitu¬ dinous tribe of Rothschilds, was broken when the venerable and beloved Baron Edmond James de Rothschild, a grand¬ son of Mayer Amschcl, passed away in his famous nuiscum-like castle in the Parisian suburb of Boulogne-sur-Seine,' surrounded by scores of kinsmen. Baron Edmond was 8f) years old and his death; was attributed to the infirmities of old age. His death was kept secret for nearly five hours in order to avoid any violent. i-caction on the Paris stock exchange, but even after the exchange closed the family issued a denial.
Baron Edmoiid James de Rothschild, who was famous throughout the Jewish world as the princely philanthropist who gave away nearly :?20,000,000 for the re¬ construction of Palestine, was the son, of James Rothschild, the fifth son of Mayer Anischel, and of Betty Rothschild, daughter of Solomon Rothschild, an¬ other son of Mayer, who founded the Vienna branch of the family.. Baron Edmond's mother Was the protectorcss and' patroness of Heinrich Heine during the poet's exile in Paris.
Born, in'1845 when his.father was al¬ ready one of the richest men in Europe, Baron Edmond Inherited a large share of the fabulous Rothschild fortune with its far-flung industrial, banking ¦ and com¬ mercial iiiterests. Until he was '1^ he devoted himself exclusively to tbe Roth-: scliild bank, of which he was president.,' In 188C1 he became interested in Zionisiii and founded the Palestine Jewisli Colo¬ nization Association (PICA), through whicli he invested $20,000,000. His son,' James de Rothschild, a member of the British I-Ionse of Commons, is the head of the PICA. It was Baron Edmond. who established Palestine's wine industry, founded Rishon le Zion, Rosh Pina and Zichron Yacob, the first of the modern Jewish colonies in Palestine. He was never active in the political phases of Zionism, contenting himself with giving lavishly and consistently of his vast for¬ tune to the cause of Palestine. In 1030, when the Passlield White Paper and the Simpson report threatened the entire Zionist structure in Palestine, he broke hi.s silence and issued his first public statement on Palestine. In a letter to Dr. Chaim Weizmann. then president of the World Zionist Organization, the .aged Baron associated himself with the world-wide protests and repudiated the praise given in the. White Paper to the . PICA. When the Jewish Agency for Palestine was created he was unani¬ mously chosen honorary president.
He was always a retiring and reticent figure about whom innumerable legends grew up during the years, but the halo of veneration and love that enshrouded hiEj, name and personality never obscured the personality of the man who was un- . questionably the best loved Jew of his day. To the millions he gave to Pales¬ tine, he added millions more for art, sci¬ ence, literature and medicine. He gave 15,000,000 francs for an institute of phy¬ sico-chemical biology, 10,000,000 francs for an art museum, and innumerable other millions to hundreds oi private and never publicized charities. For years he privately subsidized scores of penurious art students. His art collection, which includes some of the finest known plates and originals by Rembrandt; was his hobby. He spent a lifetime gathering it, and it is recognized as one of the richest in the world. In recognition of his nu¬ merous contributions to art and litera¬ ture he was honored with niembership in.the Legion of Honor, the Institute of France and L'Academie des Beaux Arts. In the past year he had personally helped hundreds of German Jewish refugees to settle in Palestine, During the last few years of his life he also devoted much time to the study of the Talmud,

PARIS (WNS)—With the same sim¬ plicity that marked his entire life, Baron Edmond de Rothschild, the grand old man of Jewry and the father of Pales¬ tine colonization, was laid to rest in the Rothschild family plot at Pere Lachaise Ctn^t'tery before a distinguished gather¬ ing of statesmen, scholars, bankers, phi¬ lanthropists, Jewish leaders and members of the entiiFe Rothschild family. Although the funeral was private ;iiK! few persons were invited, an assemblage estimated at nearly 10,000 crowded the cemetery to pay its last respects to the famous phi- (Continucd on page S?)

Mr. Goodman has for luany years been an active member of the Ohio State Planning Conference. At this meeting Mr. Goodman represented the Columbus .Chamber of Commerce Committee, Baron Edmond De Rothschild Noted Palestine Patron Dies at the Age o( 89 I»ARTS (WNS)—The last surviving link between the original Mayer Amschcl Rothschild, founder of the famous family nf Jewish bankers and philanthropists, and the present far-fluiig and multitu¬ dinous tribe of Rothschilds, was broken when the venerable and beloved Baron Edmond James de Rothschild, a grand¬ son of Mayer Amschcl, passed away in his famous nuiscum-like castle in the Parisian suburb of Boulogne-sur-Seine,' surrounded by scores of kinsmen. Baron Edmond was 8f) years old and his death; was attributed to the infirmities of old age. His death was kept secret for nearly five hours in order to avoid any violent. i-caction on the Paris stock exchange, but even after the exchange closed the family issued a denial. Baron Edmoiid James de Rothschild, who was famous throughout the Jewish world as the princely philanthropist who gave away nearly :?20,000,000 for the re¬ construction of Palestine, was the son, of James Rothschild, the fifth son of Mayer Anischel, and of Betty Rothschild, daughter of Solomon Rothschild, an¬ other son of Mayer, who founded the Vienna branch of the family.. Baron Edmond's mother Was the protectorcss and' patroness of Heinrich Heine during the poet's exile in Paris. Born, in'1845 when his.father was al¬ ready one of the richest men in Europe, Baron Edmond Inherited a large share of the fabulous Rothschild fortune with its far-flung industrial, banking ¦ and com¬ mercial iiiterests. Until he was '1^ he devoted himself exclusively to tbe Roth-: scliild bank, of which he was president.,' In 188C1 he became interested in Zionisiii and founded the Palestine Jewisli Colo¬ nization Association (PICA), through whicli he invested $20,000,000. His son,' James de Rothschild, a member of the British I-Ionse of Commons, is the head of the PICA. It was Baron Edmond. who established Palestine's wine industry, founded Rishon le Zion, Rosh Pina and Zichron Yacob, the first of the modern Jewish colonies in Palestine. He was never active in the political phases of Zionism, contenting himself with giving lavishly and consistently of his vast for¬ tune to the cause of Palestine. In 1030, when the Passlield White Paper and the Simpson report threatened the entire Zionist structure in Palestine, he broke hi.s silence and issued his first public statement on Palestine. In a letter to Dr. Chaim Weizmann. then president of the World Zionist Organization, the .aged Baron associated himself with the world-wide protests and repudiated the praise given in the. White Paper to the . PICA. When the Jewish Agency for Palestine was created he was unani¬ mously chosen honorary president. He was always a retiring and reticent figure about whom innumerable legends grew up during the years, but the halo of veneration and love that enshrouded hiEj, name and personality never obscured the personality of the man who was un- . questionably the best loved Jew of his day. To the millions he gave to Pales¬ tine, he added millions more for art, sci¬ ence, literature and medicine. He gave 15,000,000 francs for an institute of phy¬ sico-chemical biology, 10,000,000 francs for an art museum, and innumerable other millions to hundreds oi private and never publicized charities. For years he privately subsidized scores of penurious art students. His art collection, which includes some of the finest known plates and originals by Rembrandt; was his hobby. He spent a lifetime gathering it, and it is recognized as one of the richest in the world. In recognition of his nu¬ merous contributions to art and litera¬ ture he was honored with niembership in.the Legion of Honor, the Institute of France and L'Academie des Beaux Arts. In the past year he had personally helped hundreds of German Jewish refugees to settle in Palestine, During the last few years of his life he also devoted much time to the study of the Talmud, Lancaster Benefit Dance SIMPLE RITES MARK ROTH¬ SCHILD'S FUNERAL The B'nai Israel Sisterhood of Lan¬ caster, Ohio, take this opportunity of in¬ viting all their friends to their annual benefit dance and card party which will take place in Lancaster on Sunday, Nov. 18tli, at K, of.p.

PARIS (WNS)—With the same sim¬ plicity that marked his entire life, Baron Edmond de Rothschild, the grand old man of Jewry and the father of Pales¬ tine colonization, was laid to rest in the Rothschild family plot at Pere Lachaise Ctn^t'tery before a distinguished gather¬ ing of statesmen, scholars, bankers, phi¬ lanthropists, Jewish leaders and members of the entiiFe Rothschild family.
