DR. JOSEPH J. SCHWARTZ,
executive director of the Brooklyn
Federation of Jewish Charities,
this week was elected president of
the National Conference of Jew-
ish Social Welfare at the close of
its 39th annual meeting. Dr.
Schwartz is a graduate of Yeshiva
College and holds a Ph. D. in
Semitic languages from Yale Uni-
versity. From 1926 to 1928, he
held a Sterling Research Fellow-
ship at Yale and taught English
and government at the American
University in Cairo from 1928
to 1929.
Dr. Schwartz heads the oldest
organization of its kind in Ameri-
ca. He was unopposed. He is ex-
pected to be a Seattle visitor on
June 26, when his organization
meets here at Temple de Hirsch
as part of the National Confer-
ence of Social Work.
FUTURISTIC I--This breath-taking structure is a model of the
Palestine Pavilion at the New York World's Fair of 1939, designed by
Architects Arieh E1-Hanani and Norvin R. Lindheim, son of ex-Ha-
dassah president Irma Lindheim. Note the striking contrasts of mod-
ern-day Palestine: a land of futuristic buildings peopled by a 3,000-
year-old race; a land creating for the future and a land where the
age-old festival of Shavuoth, to be celebrated round the world Saturday
night, was born.

While wandering through some of
tile 85 sets constructed especially
for the dramatic sl)ectacle of h'ving
Berlin's musical deveh)pment, we
corralled a few vital statistics;
Dramatic sequences were built
around 32 worhl-famous Berlin hits
and three new swing melodies--
Marching Along With Time, My
Walldng Stick and Now It Can Be
Told.
Among songs featured, and the
years of the composition, nre" Alex-
ander's Ragtime ]}and, 1911; When
the Midnight Choo Choo Leaves for
Mabam, 1911; Everybody's Doin' It
Now, 1911; That International Rag,
1913; For Your Couutry and My

The l)iano on which Berlin com-
1)osed the title tune ])as had more
llu})licity SlmCe in recent ycnrs than
many a dive, but it always makes
good copy.
So lmre are some notes on the in-
strmnent: Most of Berlin's 600 tunes
have been coml)osed on the t)iano, a
"second-hand" (when Berlin picked
it up) Weser upright grand. It's
been abroad countless times, around
the world once.
Purclmsed in 1910 with the first
$100 Berlin ever saved, the piano
lind to be completely overhauled be-
fore lie could use it. It tins a gear
shift contraptim which changes the
entire keyl)o'u'd to any tonal range.
Berlin's musical ear, curiously,
has an F sharp range, and he can play
only on the I)lack ivories in that key.
When he composes, incidentally,
he has a musical technician write
the ]totes down, much in the same
lnanner a business lnan dictates a
letter to his stenogr'tpher--for Ber-
lin can't read music and has had only
one or two formal piano lessons in his
life.
Whc Berlin composed "Alexander's
Ragtime Band" he w's on a drawing

JEIISEY CITY, N. J. (WNS)--
Defying the Jersey City Jewish Com-
munity "to threw ()lit our congrega-
tion and lint our Torah out of this
room," 1))'. Irv!ng Schuman, 1)rest-
(lent of the Congregation ],]manu-lCl,
which has been oMered to wtcate i(s
rented quarters in the Center 1)y
June 30, this week tokt an audience
ill Jews and Christians qt a special
servi('e that "we won't gel out."
"I defy them to throw out our
men's organization," Dr. Schllman
sl:id. "I defy them te throw out our
women's Ol'g.uliz.ttion ef 400. I de-
fy then to throw out in the streels
our 175 to 200 children in our 1tel)row
school and Sunday school.
"Is a group of 10 men going to rule
despotically 20,000 Jews in Jersey
City, or are the 20,000 to rule these
men? This is a fight for the self-
1)reservation of Jews in Jersey City."
Other Sl)cakers included Rabbi
l'h)tkin, storm-center ef ttm contrn-
vcrsy and spiritual leader of the
congregation; 1)r. Sherwood Eddy,
noted Y.M.C.A. leader; Felix Tu-
multy, Catholic layman; and the
Rev. William Kcrnan, pastor of
Trinity Episcot)al Church of Bay-
onne.
Dr. Eddy urged Jersey City Jewry
"not to 1)e guilty of turning out such
a rabbi" as Rabbi Plotkin, whom hc
called "a great spiritual leader."
Tumulty s'dd he had come "to (lc-
fend a brave an(t unruffled man who
has been made the public victim of
the l)ublic victim of a foul, vicious
and unwarranted attack. Dr. Plot-
kin has enemies, political assailants,
unl)lushing Jews among them, whose
t.dnted hands, l'm sorry to say, the
unsl)eakallle Hitler would 1)e proud
to clasp."
Rabbi l)httld n expressed the hol)e
that the contriversy might bc set-
tled by both sides coming togetlmr
to talk it over, but lie emphasized
that lie would not surrender tim
right to speak out against anything
that threatened peace, justice and
democracy or anything against the
cmnmon good of the city.
Charging that in a roundabout
way he had bccn told everything
would be all right if lie did not speak
against Mayor llaguc, Rabbi Plotkin
hchl up a sheaf of telegrams from
rabbis in other cities, among thmn
Dr. Stephen S. Wise, and a telegram
informing him of his election to tlm
executive I)oard of the United Syna-
gogue of America.
"Now let anyone say that the Jews
of the United States are not behind
me," he said.
Meanwhile the Hudson County
Benevolent Association, a Jewish
fraternal society, made public the
report of its investigating committee
which probed alleged Communistic
activities by Rabbi Plotkin.
The report upheld the ouster of the
congregation as '% proper move for
the preservation of the good reputa-
ti0n heretofore borne 1)y the Jewish
people of Jersey City."
The ftrst Jewish ecclesiastic in our
country was a Septmrdic chazan,
Saul Brown.
Shavuoth called in Jewish tra-
dition, "the season of the giving
of the Law ..... inevitably brings to
mind the personality of Moses,
the Great Lawgiver. The study
reproduced above is an airbursh
painting by Louis Kabrin, young
Cincinnati Jewish artist, which
appears in the Art Calendar for
5699, published by rye National
Federation of Temple Sisterhoods,
world's largest Jewish women's
religious organization.
Few of America's 4,500,000 Jews
observing Shavuoth have ever
seen an Omer Table, like that in
the museum of the Jewish Theo-
logical Seminary of America, pre-
sented by Judge Mayer Sulz-
berger. The 50 days of the Omer
(harvest offering) between Pass-
over and Shavuoth are recorded
on this Omer Table.
IN OLDEN DAYS
In Venice, the Jewish community
was tolerated l)ut with the express
stilmlation that it maintain in the
Ghetto four loan-1)anks (pawn-brok-
ing establishments in reldity) for tim
benefit of the poor.
