Republicans Create Division Committee

During the final piece of con- vention business, the Republicans attending the Third Division con- vention apparently found the harmony" they had been striv- ing for, for two days, when James Hawkins of Clam Gulch was suc- cessful in getting a change in the rule for the election of divisional committee members on geogra- phical basis.
 A 21-member committee was created to assist in party affairs. rather than leaving primary au- thorly in the hands of a divisional committeeman and committee woman. Lengthy discussions by both factors ended when dele gates finally agreed on the meth cd of electing the 21 members. One each, from eight geographi- cal areas were elected by eau cuses of each area. The balance of 13 were elected members-at- large, following nominations from the floor.
 Elected area members are: William O'Neill, greater Anch- orage area; Thormad Bic, Seward: Margaret Pate, Kenai-Seldovia: Marshall Cruther, Kodiak-Aleu- tians; Gordon Mccormick, Bris- tol Bay area; Melvin Burgan, Chugiak-P Palmer-Wasilla; Thomas Harris, Valdez, and Bruce Ken dall, Cordova.
 Elected members-at-large were: Keith Lesh, Victor Gill, Neil Mac kay, Ruth Akay, Tillie Reeve, Olga Doheny, Ralph Cottis, Kel- ly Foss, and Harold Strandberg, all of the greater Anchorage area; Jack Hinkle, Kodiak; Leo Rhode. Homer; and V. Louise Kellogg and Alfred V. Hagen of the Pal mer area.

in the Reform, Orthodox, and Con-
sentative segments of American
Judaism.
The year 1853 saw the appear
ance of Leeser's translation of the
Hebrew Bible, his greatest liter
airy achievement. It proved a god
send to readers who could not
understand the Torah in the orig
inal and who had recourse only
to the King James Authorized
Version with its headnotes and
overtoneS of Christian interpre-
tation. Leeser's Scriptures filled
an imperative need in Jewish
homes of all English speaking
lands until displaced in, 1917 by
the translation of the Jewish
Publication Society.
Pioneer
The Jewish community of
Leeser's day hardly numbered
100000 souls. Yet he anticipated
the needs of a century later when
the population would exceed
100000. Imaginative intuition
prompted him to pioneer in every
field of Jewish endeavor. He adj
vocated Jewish hospitals that
would prevent over pious nuns
from baptising dying patients to
save them from Satan's hell fire.
He called attention to fragrant
abuses in dispensing charities.
His ideas as to overall communal
responsibility in collecting and
disbursing funds by a central "a
gency gave rise to the United
Hebrew Charities of Philadelphia.
Here we have the embyro of the
Federations that would later as
semble gigantic sums for local,
national and overseas relief. He

later by the rivalry between

Wise, reflected the bitter antag-
onism between Orthodoxy and
Reform that has not yet COM
pletely abated. Lesser became
champion for Orthodoxy. Yet his
early liberalism was frowned up
on by the officialdom of his syna-
gogue. He advocated innovations
that looked quite radical to early
10th century conservatism. He
introduced set prayers in the YER
nacular and was responsible for
the widespread adoption of the
sermon in English. Due to his
proddings, the gracious and fash
ionable Rebecca Gratz began in
1853 her Sunday School for
Mikve Israel. This experiment
became the parent and model for

Lesser hammered away in edito-
