Funds to assist in sending Jewish

Palestine and to provide medical
services for many already there

tributions at the Hadassah donor
dinner dance at the Mayflower Ho-
tel.
The dance, attended by some 1.500
persons, who paid from SIS to many
times that amount for a pair Of
tickets, climaxed the annual Hadas-
sab campaign for funds for Pales-
tine.
Rabbi James G. Heller of Cincin-
natl, principal speaker, termed
Palestine the only suitable place for
a Jewish homeland and predicted
Palestine would be the nucleus Of a
new era for the Jews.
Speaking of "other parts of the
earth now being ravaged by wild
beasts insane for power" he said:
Looking back over 20 centuries
Of our life. we can't let today and
its chaos disturb us too greatly"
Mrs. Paul MUM, wife of the actor,

peal for assistance to world Jewry

lau, president of the Washington
Zionist district and co-chairman OF

$500 900, or per cent of last years
$40, ,0000 900 goal. He urged an in

with the larger goal.

District Population
Showed Fastest Rise
From 1929 10 1887
Richmond c. of c. Soys
Vireinio's Gain Led
~ Other Stotes
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
RICHMOND, March II. The
population of the District of Co.
lumbia increased faster than that
of any State during the years from
1929 to 1887, the Richmond Chamber
of Commerce reported in its re-
search bulletin for March. The
gain was listed at 298 per cent.
Using figures based on recent
United States Bureau of Census esti-
mates. the study said the increase
in Vrginia's population was at a
faster rate than that Of a other
States. .n
Virginia Gains 12.1 Per Cent.
Vrginia's population jumped from
2,414, 600 to 2,706, 900, or 12.1 per cent
from 1929 to 1897. The Nation S
gain was only ga per cent over the
same period. Next to the District
of Columbia at the top of the list
was Florida with a 1856 per cent
gain.
Kentucky. with gain Of 1913 per
cent, and Nevada, 1872 per cent,
we're only a fraction ahead of Vir-
ginia's position. OF the 10 States
with the largest increases in popu-
lation, six are Southern States.
Judging by the trends depicted
in the Census Bureau estimates, the
1910 census Of population should
reveal that population trends in
Virginia have been sharply increased
as compared with the decade ending
$780," the research bulletin states
"Over the 10-year period, ending
1880, Virginia's population increase
was less than $4,000, and the per-
centage gain was only - per cent
This compares with an estimated
increase of $4,000, or q percentage
gain of l21, over the eight-year
period ending 1887"
Reduction Of Migration.
The Chamber of Commerce states
that the sharp increase in popula-
ton 'is doubtless attributable in
large measure to reduction in the
States loss of population from net
migration" This was seen as indi-
cative of larger employment oppor-
tunities in the State.
The study concluded with the
statement that when the population
gain is accompanied by comparable
gains in total income. wealth ano
employment opportunities, as recent
studies indicate, it must be re.
garded as highly encouraging by al
] interests of Virginia"

selves for a day, swamped the
Pittsburgh Pirates in a doublehead-
er 8 to 3 and 8 to Z today to narrow
the first-place margin Of the Gin

four runs after two were out in the
third inning and three more in the
fifth with Dolph Camilli hitting a
home run in the seventh to taper

four pitchers to hold the Pirates to
six hits as Brooklyn again battered
the Pittsburgh staff with a dozen
blows.
AS it was the lead changed hands
repeatedly until the Dodgers drove
across the deciding run in the sew
enth on a single by Babe Phelps
and a double by Lavagetto, scor-
ing Johnny Hudson, who ran for
the pudgy Brooklyn catcher.

made a wild pitch in four frames.
Luke Hamlin couldn't get anybody
out in the fifth and it was Hugh

Champs RELOCATED To Second
Division; Rowe Pitches Sew
en-Hit Tilt For 9th Win

DETROIT, Aug. 1.-R-The De-
troit Tigers regained rulership OF
the American league today with a
crushing II to 2 conquest OF the
New York Yankees that knocked
the world champions out OF the first
division.
The maneuver in the standings
was accomplished in conjunction
with the Boston Red Sox' So de-
cision over Cleveland, giving the
Tigers exclusive possession OF first
place, and Chicago's 5-4 eleven
inning triumph I'VE the Phlladel-
phia Athletics, lifting the White Sox
into fourth place.
The margin Chicago held over
the Yankees was minute, the White
Sox having a percentage of .5l64
and New York .5161, but it was suf-
fcient to drop the champs out OF
the first four for the first time
since June Is.
Schoolboy Rowe, hero of Detroit's
last pennant era, was the kingpin
again today. He held the Bronx
Bombers to seven hits and con-
tributed a triple and a double to-
ward the Tigers own total of Is
safeties, driving in three runs
1t was the ninth victory against
two defeats for the big Highlander

to the minor leagues with little
hope for his future.
He was scored upon in only one
inning, giving up two runs in the
fourth on singles by Tom Heinrich
and Joe DiMaggio, a double by
Charley Keller and an infeld out.
In contrast the Tigers tailed in
six of their eight turns at the plate.
After punching over a run in each
of the first two innings they drove
rookie Marvin Breuer off the
mound with five runs in the third.
Barney McCosky started this up

his second straight double a II d
Rudy York singled, before Alley
