WASHINGTON, Mar. 13.-Leading a renewed attack on Attorney General Daugherty today, Senator Borah, re- publican, Idaho, declared he was will ing to jDp lay the 11:updation fo: i'm peachment proceedings to get Daugh- erty out of the cabinet.
 The Idaho senator's offer was made during z, general debate in which the position ta.en by Republican Senate leaders, who have demanded MT. Daugherty's immediate retirement, was defended by Democrats who de- clared that Republicans are only try ing to confuse the issue.
 "Mr. Dougherty should retire for the public good. There are times when a man must make personal sacrifices and the situation now calls for man at the head of the department of un- peccable ability, and holding the pub lie confidence.
 T look upon the department of jus tice as ;ie key to the whole situation as it now lies. It must be apparent that legal proceedings must be had not only for recovery of property but for the punishment of guilty persons, not only in the oil lease cases but in those relating to the veterans bureau, alien and other matters. It's matter of public duty to try to get at the head of the department for the handling of these matters man who is not tained with graft.

To the Editor,
Wisconsin Jewish Chronicle,
Milwaukee, Wis.
Sir:
My attention has been called to
piece in your issue of January 4, en-
titled, Bringing Judaism to the Col
lege Student" in which it is said:
"The Menorah Society movement be-
gun very auspiciously at Harvard
University, and which attempted to
bring the purely cultural values of
Jewish life to the Jewish student,
soon become lost in the ovcr-powering
maze of Indifference and insidious hos
tility.'
Now / am afraid l can't make out
Just what the writer of this means,
especially in the last calusc. But if
the writer meant to say or imply that
the Menorah movement is already
spent or is on the down grade, nothing
could be further from the truth; and
i'm the interest of truth, you will, ]
hope, permit your readers to see these
lines as conspicuously as the article in
question.
The fact is that the intercollegiate
Mcnorah association is now working,
through students and teachers, at six
ty-one American and Canadian col
leges and universities. We would not
say we are satisfied with the extent
and effectiveness of our present activi-
ties; there is plenty of room for furth-

.er development and improvement. But
we are satisfied that the Menorah
movement is growing more and more
vital and farreaohing; and as the jew
ish community becomes further awak-
ened to the primary need of adequate
ly supporting both morally and fnan-
cially such educational and spiritual
work among the thousands of our col
lego students, the Menorah will be en-
abled to serve the cause of enlight-
ened Judaism in America even more
signally than in the past
Meanwhile, in addition to our activ-
tiles in SO many colleges and universi-
ties during the academic year, the
Menorah organization may be permit
ted to point, with satisfaction to at
least two other achievements which
have been recognized on all sides as
extraordinarily meritoriouS and sue
cessful-the Menorah Summer School
and the Menorah Journal.

of its total annual expenditures. At
present the Union receives its income
in II variety Of ways, chiefly by the in-
dividual annual membership of men
and women who are congregational
members. Drives and special donations
are always necessary to help cover
deficits. The sum of s5OO,OOO is re-
Quired annually to maintain the re-
ligious and educational activities OF
the organization and only about S30.-
900 is obtained yearly from its regular
drives and is one the most radical
changes suggested in the administra-
tion of the internal affairs OF the
Union.
DIR. Mack in urging the adoption or
his plan recommended that Il special
council of the entire membership OF the
UniCn be called ut n meeting in April
to consider the proposals and if adopted
to include it in the constitution of the
Union.
Charles Snohl. president Of the Union
of American Hebrew Congregations, in
his annual message gave the summary
of the various activities in which the
Union and its affiliated organizations
are engaged. Hhe explained that the
Union has entered upon three large
avenues of activity: Hebrew Union

There are now 273 congregations af-

Jewish Agency for Palestine.
Mr.. Louis Marshall, DIR. Cyrus
Adler, Col. Herbert, A. Lehman,
Mr.. Horace Stern are the men
who have put their signature to
the call. These gentlemen are
not now and never were men,
bers of the Zionist organization,
as they have always been very
much opposed to the Zionist
movement.
At this meeting only practical
measures for the re-settlement
of Palestine will be discussed.
Really, it is wonder that these
big men who have always oppos-
ed the Zionist movement so
strenuously should now send
forth plea to the Jews of Amer
ica to affiliate themselves for the
reconstruction of Palestine and
so aid in the up-building Of that
country which fact will attract
many more Jews to it. l think
that this is probably the great
est triumph in the history of
Zionism.
The dreams of DIR. Herzl are
now being realized. Some of the
prominent Jews, who have al
ways stood in the background
are now rendering their support
to the movement. That which
DIR. Herzl could not succeed that
which the old Chovevei Zion
could not do, is now being ac-
complished after forty years of
struggle.
We must not question why
these Jews have always, until
recently stood aloof from the
Zionist movement. Let US be
thankful that the time has at
last arrived when all Jews are
united in the common cause of
upbuilding the land of Israel.
This conference that has been
called to unite the Jews of
America is of the highest and
noblest purpose. 1 sincerely
trust that it will not have been
called in vain. May the con-
ference be crowned with the full
est measure of success and the
world Jewry follow the example
and help also in this wonderful
work.
