Form Organization

PHILADELPHIA (JTA)-The
formation of an American Coun-
Gil for Judaism which will "com-
bat nationalistic and secularistic
trends in Jewish life" and will op-
pose the establishment of a Jewish
State in Palestine, was announced
here this week by Rabbi Louis
Wolsey, provisional chairman of
the organization.
Emphasizing that the new or
ganization Twill seek to identify
and define the Jews as a member
of a religious community and
nothing else" Rabbi Wolsey
stated: 1--WE are definitely OPP
posed to a Jewish state, a Jewish
flag or a Jewish army. We are
interested in developing Palestine
as a refuge for prosecuted Jews
but are opposed to the idea of a
political state under Jewish DOM
nation in Palestine or anywhere
else."
Rabbi Elmer Berger of Flint,
Mich. will be executive director
of the Council which will open
headquarters in New York as
soon as a charter is issued by
New York State. The Council
will publish magazine, will es-
tablish a lecture bureau and will
release tracts on liberal Judaism.

deavor to establish contact with
the remnants of European Jewry,"
he said, land enlist volunteers
from our midst for action in the
Diaspora, especially for the rescue
Of Jews in countries from which
their departure is still possible.
We must also concentrate on the
effort to save hundreds of thous-
ands of Polish Jewish refugees
who are in desperate plight
near the frontiers of Russia and
Iran. We must undertake action
on behalf of the 100000 Jews in
North Africa including $4,000 ref
ugees deported from France for
forced labor"
He explained that lone of the
direct reactions against the dis
aster to our brethren in Europe is
our demand to permit us to fight
Hitler"

BAND TO PLAY FOR DRAFTEES Music Assured When Next Contingent Leaves
 Borough

Naugatuck, July 28 - The next D.. s. Army will depart to the tune of band music, it was learned today. It was learned definitely that the Naugatuck Community Band will furnish music for the group.
 The band offered to do so few weeks ago but arrangements to se- cure permission for band members working in plants to take time off for this had to be made. These ar- engagements now are virtually com plete, 1t was learned today from Superintendent of Schools Harold E. Chittenden, who has been instru- mental in making the arrangements.
 The next contingent is to leave soon. Heretofore, the only farewell, other than that of relatives and friends, has been an official cere- mony in which the warden talked and a Rotary Club representative, usually Superintendent Chittenden, presented those leaving with pen and pencil sets from the club.
 It is expected that the band mem bers will turn out 100 per cent for the send off. And this will mean that more of martial atmosphere will prevail in future departures of young men. This send-off will not occur when group leaves for Hart for physical examinations, but only when it leaves for actual duty in the army.
