pose of engaging a field secretary for

activities The funds are being sought
from the Brotherhood bodies affiliated
with the national organization. The
plan Is to place a per capita upon each
member, ranging from soc to $500
the larger organizations to he taxed
500 per capita, and the smaller ones
down to 5Oc,
\ request was made by the Nation.
al Federation Of Temple BrotherhOods
OF the Union Of American Hebrew Con
gregutions, the parent body, for a sub
vcntion for field secretary. The
parent organization was unable to com
ply with this request because Of the
StrHitencd financial situation in which
1t finds itself at the present time. 1t
was suggested that the BrotherhoodS
make an effort TO seek the funds from
their own membership.
The campaign is headed by II. /.
Karpcles of Newark, a member of the
executive board. Mr. Karpeles is now
In Cincinnati directing the drive. He
has issued letters to the presidents of
the various BrUthcrhoods asking their
cooperation and financial support.
"If the Brotherhood Movement in
American Jewish life" he writes, 'is to
be success, we must have a full time
secretary. The Union of American He
brew Congregations is just now strug-
Cling to balance an annual budget in
excess of half million dollars. We
cannot wait until the financial situa-
tion clears in that direction Besides,
the whole business of being dependent
upon mother organization for the
salaries of our own paid officials is not
in keeping with the character Of our
BrOtherhOods. Let's do this for our.
selves"
