A—4 xx K $41 425 PLEDGED INJEWISH DRIVE Goal More Than Half Raised at Dinner in Bethesda. May 4 Opening. Pledges amounting to $41,425, more than half the $80,000 goal of the United Jewish appeal, were received last night at & dinner at the Wood- mont Country Club, Bethesda, Md. The drive will open officially May 4 with a mass meeting of volun- teers at the Jewish Community Cen- ter and continue two weeks. Rabbi Abram Simon of the Wash- ington Hebrew Congregation, honor- ary chairman of the appeal cam- paign and principal speaker at last night's meeting, portrayed America 88 the “dearest, sweetest land on all God's globe” and cited the horrors of persecution and needs of the European refugees, for whose benefit the money is to be expended. “We cannot go to our Christian friends,” Dr. Simon declared. “They know our heartaches—but we know our own pain most.” Referring to & sign on the wall, saying, “To contrib~ ute means to lessen the danger here,” Dr. Simon said that he could never believe such conditions as exist in Poland and Germany would ever eome about in America. Co-chairmen of the appeal drive are Morris Simon, who presided as dinner chairman, Isidore Hershfield and Morris Cafritz. Harry Viner is campaign manager, and Louis E. Bpiegler and Mrs, John M. Safer are co-directors. Dr. Simon, in announcing the $80,000 goal, said he hoped for at least a 33'; per cent increase. Last year's goal of $60.000, he said, was exceeded by $2,000. Hershfield pointed out there are now more than 400,000 Jews in Ger- many, Poland, Latvia, Lithuania and Rumania who need assistance. “It is our duty to help them—our peo- ple,” he declared. “Those who give are not diminish- ing from their wealth, but adding to it,” Rabbi Henry Segal of the B'Nai Israel Congregation asserted Rabbi Norman Gerstenfeld, also of the Washington Hebrew Congrega- tion, declared Jews ‘“need today more than ever the spirit of compassion if | we are to survive.” Stressing the need for unity, he added, “Degredation of Jewry anywhere is degredation of Jews and Jewry everywhere.” Edmund I. Kaufmann told the diners “the Jews of Palestine need no help. They have sent $5,000,000 relief money into Germany and Poland in the last several years." “Hitler is trying to stifie the soul of the Jews,” Rabbi Harry Silverstone declared, “but for us there is no death—for we will to live.” Other speakers included C. B. Dul- ean, vice chairman of the drive; Viner, Cafritz and Paul Himmelfarb, drive treasurer. The dinner was held under auspices of the Special Gifts Committee. The Nation-wide campaign for relief funds is carried on by two agencies—the United Palestine Appeal and the Joint Distribution Committee—which have been combined locally into the United Jewish Appeal. The funds collected here will be divided between the two organizations. Over 500 vnlunteery workers are expected to solicit during | the drive. It was requested that names of | donors be withheld from publication. | Three men contributed $5,000 each.

Brokers and banks re- | cently were ordered to submit more | detailed reports on credit advanced for stock dealings. ‘The officials said the board would be in a position to lift margin require- ments immediately if it appeared that speculative credit was jacking up the market artifically. There was no indi- cation, however, whether such action would be taken. Securities Commission authorities reported they, too, were keeping = check on speculation and indicated any signs of a dangerous security up- turn would be discussed with the Reserve Board. Recent commission activities have been pointed toward checking speculation by stock market insiders. The President’s action in making public Cummings’ report indicated to informed authorities that he may fol- low the Attorney General's suggestion to create a committee to examine the anti-trust laws. Asked whether such a group would be named, Mr. Roosevelt said sume-‘ thing would be done. With various officials warning of | inflation dangers in recent weeks, some administration spokesmen have viewed | tighter anti-trust monopoly laws as a | powerful weapon of price control. | Cummings’ suggestion for a reshap- ing of anti-trust statutes was append- ed to his findings on a Federal Trade Commission report charging & group of steel companies with collusion in submitting identical bids to Govern- | ment agencies, —_— STEAMSHIPS.

Extermination Plan Charged. Reinforcements are coming con- stantly to the insurgents; the Basques have recelved none, the statement said. It charged the insurgents had ac- cumulated 100 airplanes with the idea of destroying Euzkadi (Basque Re- public) towns and “exterminating the civil population” while sparing Bilbao 50 the insurgents can seize Bilbeo and “make use of its big industry and equipment.” The statement continued: “* * * In accordance with this plan the German aviation is machine gun- ning the countryside so people can neither flee nor help the injured. The extermination of the civil popu- lation has no justification. The people of Euzkadi are condemned to die under the fire of Germans and rebels who are at the same time trying to avold destruction of Bilbao and its industry.” In Bilbao the population, neverthe- less, was fearful lest it meet the fate of Guernica. The provincial council at Santander, 47 miles west of Bilbao, offered Basque authorities a haven for all women and children. ~ Many homeless Basques continued to stream into Bilbao from the bomb- ing forays closer to the war front, congesting the city and aggravating the food situation, which was reported only “fairly good” despite the reported arrival of another food vessel through the insurgent sea gantlet. Accounts of the swift, virtually un- D. C. opposed advance of Gen. Emilio Mola’s insurgent forces were withheld from the Bilbao populace to prevent panic and internal disorders. * Authorities remained confident the city itself—with one side open to the sea—could withstand a lengthy siege. Defense forces were rushing work on reinforced concrete fortifications around the land sides of the town. Bilbao authorities were preoccupied with the constant danger of aerial bombings raining death, destruction and fire on the cooped-up population and were feverishly building shelters. Gen. Pfancosco Franco’s insurgent troops were inside the craggy moun- tains south and east of Bilbao, which | have been the defenders’ strongest n: tural ally, and were poised for the “big push” over improved highways on the coastal plain. Insurgent officers said the Basque army, reported in headlong flight be- fore the besiegers’ drive, offered so little resistance that the insurgents had to slacken their pace to keep their lines close knit, Capture of Bilbao, “Spain’s Pitts- burgh,” would give the insurgents con- trol of the northern coast, a foothold for conquering the little remaining government-held territory in the north, access to vital industrial sup- plies and government munitions fac- tories and freedom to shift their northern forces to the Madrid front. Thousands of women and children have died in insurgent aerial bom- bardments on this northern front, the Basques reported to the main Spanish government in Valencia. They charged “the order to bombard was given by the German headquarters established at Deva.” "Qua/[lly THAT OTHER CIGARETTES CANNOT AFFORD"... Finer tobaccos, plus the Tareyton Gfi{ 7(;0 Now ONLY 5.
