Dr.. Morris NeWfieId Heads Local Committee to Raise
 Birmingham's Quota

Nanny Strauss, chairman of the ]. Walter Freiberg memorial endow- nent campaign today announced that Rabbi Norris Newfield will be chairman of a local committee to raise Brmnghams share of the es250,ooO endowment fund as a me morial to J. Walter Freiberg, the late president of the Union of Amer ican Hebrew Congregations.
 With Dr. Newfield at the head of the movement, this city is expected to play a prominent part in raising the fund which is to carry on MT. Friebergs life work of stimulating g and organizing Jewish religious life in their community. The local com mittee will be announced later.
 In appointing the local chairmen. Mir Strauss sent the following mes sage to the local committee:
 The passing of J. Walter Freiberg Ia probably the greatest loss which the Union of American Hebrew Con- gregations has suffered in many years. The union has had many friends who have individually given to the Jewish cause greater sums of money, but in recent years there have been none who have given it, in such large degree, the rare gift Of personality All American Jewry-- and non-Jews from President Hard ing down-mourn his passing.
 Tn every city of the United States there must be some who were touched by his enthusiasm. I want to band these men and women to- gether to preserve what we have learned to cherish. The memorial we seek to erect for him is not to be a monument of stone, not tablet of bronze, not building of brick and ing was to perpetuate Judaism in America.
 He believed that not only must you teach leaders to expound the life-eivinE word of religion, but you must awaken hunger in the heart of Israel for that word of God. In |. this he did not altogether succeed He died too young. This is the work we want to band together to per form. This is the weakest plank in the American Jewish platform, We are not organized. The body or Israel. if such a thing exists, Is with out vitality. We will not be well or ganized until from Rising Sun, Me- to Last Chance, Cal. we have a Knowledge of every Jewish group, and until we are ready to stretch out a helping and guiding hand to every Jew that wants to stand by the re- ligion of his fathers. That's what > Walter Freiberg wanted to accom- plish. That is what we want 10 at- tempt. We want 1000 admirers ol J. Walter Freiberg to give SSo 3 year for 10 years to carry on the work that J. Walter Freiberg left unfin nshed--s25o.0OO to preserve Ju- daism in America
