nifty Center In Washington, was en-
Enthusiastically Endorsed last night by

Of the city at q dinner in the City

multifold Jewish activities, hereto
fore scattered, were laid before the
guests and assured Of support by q
unanimous vote.

chairman of the campaign commit
tee, outlined the scope Of the move
n1ent, announcing that the Jewish
welfare board was lending its sup
port to the extent Of contributing
$4,000 toward the quota.
DIR. Simon Speaks.
Or. Simon, rabbi Of the Eighth
Street Temple. sounded the keynote
Of the evening, succinctly voicing the
necessity for a Jewish institution
that the Jews OF washington can
call their own, where their re-
MgiOus, educational and social needs
might be supplied 2
Rabbi T. T. Loeb, OF Synagogue
Ohev Shoiom stressed the signifi-
canoe Of launching this movement
between the Jewish New Year and
the Day Of Atonemgnt, 81 space of
ten days devoted by Jews generally
to repentance and furtherance sc
Jewish ideals. He regretted the fact
that the synagogues had signally
failed to bring together Jewish
youth.

by the Jewish welfare board to aid
In the campaign, presented some
facts garnered from q survey o1
the city. He said that about 5000
young people would be reached BY
this proposed institution, all but
q few hundred Of these being per.
manent residents. He cited recent
disclosures OF Mrs. Van Wrinkle re.

dance halls. The Community Cen.
ter, he said, would bring the va.
rious societies, now ungupervised
