Local Victory Dinner
At $4,000 Per Plate
Concludes Drive

Jacksonville's campaign for
$350,00O as it's share of the
nationwide drive for $170,000,-
100000 for the United Jewish
Appeal will be highlighted by
a brilliant dinner at $500 per
plate at the Embassy Club,
which will be open especially
for this occasion on November
10th, with dinner being served
at 1870 P. M.
Sam w. Wolfson, president
of the Jewish Community Coun-
Gil, has sent out a number of
letters explaining the urgent
need for the. success of this
affair, stating as follows:
ITO attend this Victory Din
ner I am going to ask you to
do something that at first may
seem very much to be asking;
that is, to make reservations
for this dinner for your wife,
yourself and your friends. The
cost will be 500 per plate.
This probably sounds like a
great deal of money to most of
us, and it is for a dinner. For
the cause behind this, actually,
the amount is nominal, as you
are again doing your share to
help humanity so that the less
fortunate Jews who are suffer-
ing untold hardships in Europe
will be aided by the more for
tunate in the United States.
practically every city has
gone over the top. Surely we
cannot fail to put Jacksonville
over the goal! Therefore, 1
have personally selected your
name as I am confident that I
can depend upon you, as I have
before, to do your share in
helping me make this drive a
success.
"By attending this dinner you
will have the pleasure of being
with your friends and enjoying
the finest Of food and bever-
ages, seeing the finest enter
tainment that has ever been
brought to Jacksonville, and for
those who care to dance, music
by a very good orchestra"

LAKE SUCCESS

AAkAE OOCCESS-
One of the lively aspects of the
Palestine issue at the United Ma
tons revOlves around the Dead
Sea.
That is because the Dead Sea is
full of potash, and potash is
very valuable substance used for
the manufacture of fertilizers and,
among other things, of explosives
and gunpowder.
Under a concession granted by
the British Government in 1929,
the Dead Sea was divided into two
parts, the eastern half to Trans
Jordan, and the western half to
Palestine. The report of the Unit
ed Nations Special Committee on
Palestine (UNSCOP) recommend
ed a new division Of the Dead Sea.
This would give One-third of it to
the proposed Jewish state, and
two-thirds to the proposed Arab
state. In other words, the Jewish
state would retain the southern
part which is One-sixth of the Sea,
and the remainder would go to
the Arabs.
Closely tied in with boundary
proposals, this question has been
very privately discussed among
Palestine subcommittee working
groups. The top-ranking expert
came from Palestine to confer
with the committee. He is M. A.
Novemeysky, who, some thirty
years ago, became interested in
the potash deposits in the Dead
Sea and who, after ten years of
further research, experimentation
and negotiations with the British
Government, persuaded it in 1929
TO grant a concession for Is years
to himself and a Major T. G. Tul-
loch. In 1880 the concession was
transferred to Palestine Potash,
Ltd, a company formed by Mr..
Novemysky, and whose managing
director he is.
Palestine Potash, Ltd, has one
plant at the northern end of the
Dead Sea, and one plant at the
southern end. Both plants, form
one organic unit technically and
enthusiastically, with the south
ern plant under the administrator
u the senior staff of engineers
and chemists of the northern in
s'anatlOn. The proposed division
Dy UNSCOP of the Dead Sea thus
creates an unavoidable situation.
Novemeysky came to the United
Narons on behalf of Palestine
roIash, Ltd, to find a way out of
MS difficulty, and some proposals
now to deal with it have been
submitted to the Palestine Com
mittee.
Under the UNSCOP-recommend-
" ulVlsion, Palestine Potash would

of combating bigotry and preju-
dice in the United States. This
year the IDA is driving toward
a national goal of $6,OO0,OOO.
Cali planning for the IDA Ma
tional Conference will stress the
central thought that to combat
anti-Jewish prejudice successfully,
it is necessary to go to the COM
munities for leadership and sup
port" according to a joint state
ment released by local representa-
tives.
Security of the Jews is a prob
lem that concerns each of us,
whether we live in the large met
ropolitan centers or in the isolat-
ed rural sections of the country"
they declared. "Since this is a
collective problem, we must follow
q plan that will pool the collective
wisdom of Jewry's top representa-
tives from every section of the
country"
AS preliminary step in reach
ing this goal, Bernard Nath of
Chicago, Conference Chairman,
pointed out that the Philadelphia
assembly is being called by the
IDA National Council, an organ
ization of more than 500 communal
leaders residing in both large and
small communities throughout the
nation.
"Our aim is to make our COM
munal leaders an integral part in
the effort to strengthen traditional
American liberties" he said. "They
must be given the latest infOrma-
ton regarding current anti-Semitic
manifestations. More than that,
they will be called on for their
opinions to improve our defense
program. Finally, they will be
consulted about that program be-
fore a budget is adopted for the
succeeding year."

High United States and Ca

Joseph A. Belrne, president OF
the National Federation of Tele-
phone Workers. which has
threatened a Nation wide strike
in April. said today he would be
inclined to favor arbitration"
rather than resort to a tieup of
telephone service in forcing new
contract demands.
Mr.. Beirne testified before the
Senate Labor Committee in opposi-
ton to most of the union restricting
proposals made in Congress, includ-
ing a ban on industry-wide bar
gaining and the closed shop, in a
session which also brought forth
sharp criticism of the Labor De-
partment's Cancellation Service.
Senator Morse, Republican, of
Oregon accused the Cancellation
Service of using "phony statistics"
in describing the extent and effect
of its conciliatory efforts in labor
disputes last year.
More Funds Suggested.
Mr.. Beirne suggested that Con-
gress increase the appropriations of
the Cancellation Service and of the
National Labor Relations Board as
means of improving machinery for
dealing with disputes. Senator
Morse took issue with him when the
union official declared that the
Labor Department handled $4,000
disputes in 1916.
"They may have handled them all
right, but how did they handle
them?" Senatoy Morse demanded.
st am not interested in phony
statistics and large share of the
statistics of the Cancellation Service
I say are phony." the Senator con-
tinued.
Chairman Taft read an anony-
nous letter, which he said later, was
from former Labor Department
employe, charging that funds, which
should go to pay field workers of the
Cancellation Service, were being used
to pay political appointees" and
chair warmers" in the program di-
vision of the service here. The letter
complained that as a result of the
amount of money expended on head
quarters workers, conciliation COM
missioners in the field were being
laid off two days week without pay
THAT is something guess we
should ask the Cancellation Service
about Senator Taft commented.

vored arbitration rather than
