BETH ISRAEL
 HEBREW SCHOOL
Pupils Will Gather in Audi= tOrium Tomorrow MOrn=
 ing to Hear Lecture
BY LYMAN HELFAND

Tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock the pupils of the Beth Israel Hebrew School will meet in the school au- ditorium to listen to an invited guest, Hyman Helfand, Scout leader of the Waterbury Council, Boy Scouts of America, who has especially been chosen for this occasion by Rev Samuel Plutzik, principal of the Beth Israel Hebrew School.
 MT Helfand, an Eagle Scout. has passed the course of Scouting for Jewish Leaders in New York in connection with the University of Scouting which was conducted by the Boy Scout Extension Bureau of the United Synagogue of America. He first joined Scouting in 1922 with Troop 29 of the Waterbury Coun- cil. In 1929 he went to New York
 where he became the assistant Scoutmaster in Troop 1S2 and later with Troop 372 of the Brooklyn Council. In 1880 he came back to Waterbury where he took up his position as the assistant Scoutmaster of Troop 29 in which capacity he is still serving.
 Rev Plutzik's aim in bringing MT Helfand to Bristol is to create a bet ter understanding between the pu. pills of the Beth Israel Hebrew School and the aim and purpose of the Scout movement in America.

 DECREE AGAINST
 THE YOUNG PLAN
Must Be Revised or Repara= ton Cannot Be Paid Plans to Relieve Unem= plOyment

Berlin, June 6-CUP)-The gov ernment's rst official pronounce ment that the Young plan must be revised was issued to-day. A mani- festo, supplementing President Paul Won Hinderburg's dictatorial decree drastically reducing government ex- penditures, declared that the repa- rations can no longer be paid out of foreign loans, as heretofore.
 The presidential decree provided that the reich's railways finance d gigantic project calling for the ex- penditure of 200,000,000 marks (about $50.000,000). It was estimat- ed that this Would help relieve un- employment, providing jobs for 10000 persons.
 The government, in broad move to counteract the sharp salary re- ductions provided for in the decree, will introduce 44-hour week in all it's own workshops in the railways. This was expected to offer employ ment to thousands,
