BY BORIS SINCLAIR

CONVENTION ECHOES: Inc
annual convention of the Zionist
Organization of America, which
took place at Columbus, Ohio, was
the most peaceful Zionist cOnclave
ever held in this country :
The only dissatisfaction expressed
by the delegates was over the
technical arrangements :
The hall in the hotel where the
convention took place could hard
Nv seat the 1000 delegates, and
there was certainly no place for
guests There were mixed
feelings over President ROOse-
velt's greeting to the convention.
:. Some delegates were salts
fled with the fact that a message
from Roosevelt had arrived in
which American Jews were en-
cOuraged to continue their efforts
for the Jewish national home i'm
Palestine - Others thought
this message too vague
The real Zionist leaders, however,
were happy over the Presidents
message since they were not GER
tain that Roosevelt would send
any word to the convention
For the last few months ZiOniStS
have been trying in vain to secure
statement from President ROOse-
welt on Palestine The Pres
ident'S silence was broken with a
message to the convention
The fact that the President en-
phasized that he sent his greet
ings in reply to a request to this
effect puzzled many delegates 49,
1t is the first time that Roosevelt
included such phrase in sending
greetings to a Jewish gathering.
-. Many delegates were also
puzzled by the absence from the
convention of Rabbi Stephen S.
Wise, who was scheduled to be
one of the principal speakers 49,
Officially his absence was ex-
planned as due to sudden illness,
but this explanation did not sound
convincing to many who thought
that Rabbi WiSe's ''illnesS" was of
political nature - Credit
must be given to Herman Shul-
man and Emanuel Neuman, the
two cO-chairmen of the political
committee at the convention, for
the excellent political resolution
which the convention adopted and
which supplements in many re-
Spects the resolution on Palestine
adopted by the American Jewish
Conference -
HITLER-BUILT SYNAGOGUE:

might pay the old rates on the
