'Coming for a similar intniosc arc al.so George Landaiicr of the' i-oiidon oflice of the Central liureau for thd Settlement of JcwS, and Martin Uo.'icnhiucth of the Jerusalem office of tliat organization. . . . From Tel Aviv, Palestine, where he lives for five or six niontlis each year, Maurice Samuel is re¬ turning, for a lecture tour. . . . Hia re¬ ception, wc- understand, will be very warm indeed. ,. . . At least, numerous ladies of our acquaintance have expressed to ns the intention to tell Samuel a thing or two—because of the unflattering im- liression he conveys to Uieir sex in his new novel, "Beyond Woman." . . . From
I Paris the new year will bring us Pro- fes.sor Georg- Bernard, famous German Jewish editor and political - economic authority who, exiled from Germany by the Nazi regime, now puts out tlic Pariser Tageblatt, Baily organ for German emi¬ gres. . . . And from Jerusalem, again, will collie Gershon Agronsky) founder and editor of Palestine's only English daily, The Palestine Past, with a scries of lectures on the Homeland and the gen¬ eral situation in the Middle West. Nazi Notes You have read, of course, of the libel suit which former, M'agistrate Joseph Goldstein won against the local Friends of the New Germany organ, the Deutsche Zeitting, and how that paper, in order that its editor's prison sentence be sus¬ pended, not only published an apology but changed its entire policy. . . . But what you may not know is that Mr. Goldstein's suit was backctl by the Brookjyn Jewish Democracy and that before Samuel'Un¬ termyer, the trial lawyer, was called into the case it had been directed to an ad¬ vanced stage hy Brooklyn's own Samuel Leibowit?:. ... , Now the Nazi influence is attempthig to enter the amusement field too. . . . At least, they say that S. N. Behrnian's new play, "Rain from Hea¬ ven," won't star Ina Claire because her fiance, Prince Liclitenstcin, objected to her playmg in a drania one of whose characters makes derogatory; remarks about fhe Nazis. . . It is interesting that Storm .Trooper. Prince Hohenlohe, who was in New York for a while to testify" in the Gloria Vanderbilt custody case, no't only took special pains to' be nice to Jewish .reporter's, but ate all his meals at Solomon's Restaurant.' , ... ,The Boycott Committee of the American Jewish Con¬ gress is rumored to have lost Dr. Joseph Tennenbaum as its chairman. . . . Scientific Department From Scripta Mathematica, Yeshiva College's niatheinatical quarterly, we glean the curious fact that Dr. Chaim Weizmann, who on November 27th will receive many messages congratulating him on his  sixtieth birthday   (you can ad-
' drcBS him at Rehoboth, Palestine)., was born on the 120th anniversary of the death of the great mathematical Abraham Dc Moivrc, . . , The current issue of Scripta, w'lnch, incidentaUy, completes the second volume of the periodical^ also contains an interesting biographical sketch of Victor Aincdec Mannheim, the French Jewish army officer who, while still in his early twenties invented the slide rule that bears,his name. . , . We don't know whether or not to ciivy Marvin Goodman, l?-ycar-old Philadclphian, who recently had the pleasure (?) of viewing a movie of a major operation in which he acted as the principal: ...
About People We note with interest that Howard S. Cullman, member of die tobacco family and the. N. Y.

"Peace Meeting" NovT 26
Off to a fine start with the largest at¬ tendance at the opening meeting in years and witii increased amounts subscribed i:omi)arcd to last year, the more than 3,000 workers in tlni Comniunity Fund arc enthusiastic and contend the goal of ^fi82,500 will be reached. Report lunch¬ eons will continue to be held each day at the Southern Hotel until Thanksgiving or until the goal has jjccn reached..
"The response of the citizens generally is an inspiration lo the workers," Gen¬ eral Chairman Austin McEIroy.said to¬ day. "The only thing necessary is for the workers to complete the solicitation of the firms or territories assigned them, and we are all confident they will do that," the chairman continued..
Vice Chairman I£. P. Leonard is opti¬ mistic also, contending that the start made .. insures a successful campaign if all will continue to function. "The experiences of everyone the last few years has mclr lowed individuals into realizing that they have a responsibility to the less fortu¬ nate," Vice Chairman Leonard said. "Everyone is convinced that 'they must share what they may even need them¬ selves with diose who need it more."
Chairmen of the various divisions are expected to complete the solicitation work as soon as passible. E. W. Hillman, chairman of the Industrial division, re¬ ports the employees of the plants are re- .sponding readily and that the subscrip¬ tions reported in tbat division doubtless will exceed the totals of last year,
H. S. Stephan, chairman of the Com¬ mercial division, who, by the way^ is showing reports more nearer 100 per cent of their quotas than most, declares,,' there will ¦ be .siibstantial increases. all along the line and that there also will be an increase in the number of subscribers. W. C. Newton, chairman of the Pub-, lie Utilities and Railroad division, reports similar good news concerning the em¬ ployee subscriptions while the firms them¬ selves are reporting greater support than last year.
Depew Head, chairman of the Business division and Mrs. Carl L., Braun, chair¬ man of the Women's Territorial Division, with larger organizations than last year, report better restdts.
Excellent reports also are made by George Trauthian, chairman of the pub¬ lic employee division, who declares the su))scriptiDns from his group will exceed those in previous years. Frame Brown, chairman of the County division, declares the chairmen named in the various com¬ munities arc working hard and reports that a novelty program is being carried : out in Brown township where farmers are to donate Hye stock, grain and what have you. These donations then are to be olTcrcd at auction and the proceeds subscribed, to the fiind. The auction is to occur at 8 o'clock at Hilliards, and everyone is invited. Chairman Brown contends there will be butter, eggs and.all kinds of farm produce offered and that city dwellers will'find the sale attracti-vc.
While these reports are being received ¦ more startling facts are being revealed daily showing the increasing needs con¬ fronting the agencies comprising the Comnuinity Fund. The announcement that the government is likely to reduce its allotment of relief funds and the fact that old age pensions are to be reduced, makes it all the more important that the Community Fiind be over-subscribed diis year.
"Peace Meeting" to be held jointly by the Rose E. Lazarus Sisterhood and the Council of Jewish Women, is schedided for Monday, Nov. 2Gth, at 2 p. m., at the home of Mrs. Edna P. Hofmayer, HI S.
