Blumberg retired from the
postal service in 1884 but has
continued what is practically a
lifetime post as unpaid president
of the League. Established to win
religious holiday absence rights
for it's members, the League has
branched out into a wide variety
of activities. These include NOR
tuary fund, financial grants for
cases of personal distress among
members, cooperative buying,
discount services and other bene-
fits.
The league is an affiliate Of
the American Jewish Congress
and conducts an annual campaign
for the United Jewish Appeal
which produces very respectable
results-$10O,0O0 last year.
The League provides assistance
to wide variety of Jewish needs
one Of the more unique activities,
in this phase being its support OF
Orthodox institutions, including
this year the establishments OF six
scholarships for pupils of the Ye-
SILVA Othel Torah, day school of
New York's lower East Side.
Organizations Of Jews on purely
occupational lines tend to reach
a colorless common denominator
of Jewishness, and the League,
despite the fact that is was origi-
nally organized for specific re-
ligious objective, expresses its
Jewish content nowadays largely
in philanthropy and support of
Israel. The approval by members
of contributions to such institu-
tons as Orthodox synagogues and
the Jewish day school hence re-
presents a tribute to Louis Blum
berg, the Leagues beloved foun-
der.

New York City's thousands of
Jewish postal workers get time
off without loss of pay to attend
High Holy Day services because
one of the first Jewish mailmen
in Manhattan was an Orthodox
Jew.

Harris and Anna Blumberg, pass
ed postoffice examination, and

postal worker managed by one
strategem or another to avoid
working on the most sacred day
of the Jewish year. 1t was a
lonely struggle. There were few
Jews among his fellowworkers
in those days and little precedent
for request for time off for the
Jewish Holy Days.
Blumberg finally came to the
conclusion that only if the Jew
ish postal workers joined forces
in a formal organization would
anything be achieved. In 1925 he
persuaded nine other Jewish
mail carriers to agree with him
and the Jewish Postal Workers
Welfare League of New York
was born.
From that beginning, the
League has grown until it now
has nearly 5000 members or more
than 80 per cent of all Jewish
postal workers in New York
City. The League has won per-
manent time off arrangements for
all Jewish postal workers not
only for the High Holy Days but
also for Passover.

Daylight Saving Time
For Area Assured

Daylight saving beginning Sun
day, April q. was virtually as
sured today for Washington and
vicinity.
Legislation authorizing the Dis
trict Commissioners to make the
time change in the city this year
received final approval yesterday
by Congress and was sent to the
President. He is expected to sign
the bill.
Nearby Virginia and Maryland
are expected to order their clocks
advanced an hour on the same
day. as they have each summer in
the past.
The legislation followed the
same controversial course it has
taken for several years. The
Senate first approved permanent
authority for the city heads to put
daylight time into effect every
year. The House after opposition
from farm bloc members cut the
permanent authority to one year
only.
Final action came on the Senate
floor yesterday. Chairman Neely
|of the Senate District Committee
reluctantly" asked the Senate to
|agree to the House amendments.
The Senate did so, and sent the
bill to the President.

IA i'm Contest.
Fifteen names appeared on the
ballot, but only IA candidates
actually were in the contest.
r. Samuel Luckett, incumbent
Councilman, withdrew because Of
illness, after the ballots were
printed. More than 400 votes
were cast for Mr.. Luckett. de-
spite his withdrawal. The actual
number Of votes cast for him was
not known because one ward did
not report his total.
Outcome of the election was
regarded as a vote of confidence
for the present Council, which has
been in Office for three years. In
addition to Mr.. Luckett, others
on the Council who did not seek
Ire-election are Vice Mayor Albert
A. Smoot and Roy Bragg.
It was the second consecutive
election in which Mayor Backus
led the ticket. He became Mayor
by virtue of receiving the most
votes in the last general Council
election. Outcome of the general
election in June, however, will not
automatically make the high man
Mayor. This is because a charter
provision remains in effect until
June 28, providing for selection
Iof the Mayor by other members
Iof Council. Most candidates believe,
however. that councilmen elected
in June will choose the high man
on the ballot.
4,786 Votes Cast.
There were 4,786 votes cast
about 500 fewer than in the last
Council primary three years ago.
Election officials had looked for a
light vote because Of the absence
of major issues and mild cam.
|paigning. Candidates ran inde-
pendently of each other, and there
was no clear-cut factional fight.
