PLANS EDUCATION
OF JEWISH YOUTH
Rabbi Simon Urges B'nai
Birth Lodges Employ Noted
Speaker for Purpose.

Suggestion that nationally known;
Jewish speaker be employed by
lodges Of District Grand Lodge, No.
., Independent Order of B'nai Birth,
was made at the concluding session
of Il two-day convention Of the lodge
at the Raleigh Hotel today by Rabbi
Abram Simon OF Washington.
Discussing the annual report of
President Henry A. Alexander of At
| lanta of the Grand Lodge, which
suggested that some lodge support
be given the Menorah Society,
Jewish college organization, Rabbi
Simon proposed that the lodges con-
stituting District No. 5 employ Dr.
| julius Goldstein, Darmstadt Univer-
sity, Germany, to give lectures be-
fore them as a means of spreading
education among Jews of the young
er generation.
Opposes Individual Effort.
DR.. Simon said he was against
! voluntary contributions from lodge
members for educational purposes.
! but favored voluntary subscriptions
from members to obtain speakers
with a message. Other delegates to
the fifth district convention. which
includes lodges from Maryland to
Florida, spoke against an arbitrary
collection from members.
Delegates to the convention went to
; the White House at noon today and
! shook hands with the President. From
tthe White House they went to Har-
vey'S. where luncheon was served.
! The convention will end this after
moon with the election of officers and
! final discussion of the presidents re-
lport.
| Secretary Of Labor Davis will ad-
dress the Grand Lodge tonight at the
Raleigh, replying to Mr.. AleXander's
address yesterday on immigra tion.
The president of the Grand Lodge
pointed out that Jews in the United
States show their willingness to sac
rifice their own interests in the inter-
1 est of other races by opposing the
johnson immigration bill.
| The president said Jews living in
the United States would profit from
more than any other racial group.
Nevertheless, he declared, the general
jopinion of the Jewish citizenry of the
country is that the suggested reduc-
tion of immigration is too drastic.
| The report of the president proposed
| that a national memorial be erected
! in Washington to the memory of the
late Simon Wolf of this city.
| Other speakers yesterday included
Isaac Cans, president of the Chamber
iof Commerce.: Maurice d. Rosenberg
| Rabbi +. y. Galisch of Richmond, Va.
and Henry Hurwitz julius Reis is
chairman of the banquet committee.
