National News (Continued from Page 25) San Francisco, Calif.—Ten thousand people crowded the Civic Auditorium here to listen to the farewell concert of Alfred Hertz, conductor of the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra. Hertz, who had been famous as a conductor in Europe and New York long before- lie came to this city, has been the leader of the San Francisco Symphony for fifteen years and is credited with having educated the San Francisco public to an appreciation of good music. New York, N. Y.—Opposition to Zionism is voiced in the diary of Ed win K. Montagu, former British Sec retary of State for India, whose widow will publish the volume some time this month, according to a preliminary re port on the book forwarded to the New York Times by its London corre spondent. The diary deals principally with India, with which country Mr. Montagu was intimately acquainted and which is now governed under an act which he sponsored. Mr. Montagu, who was a Jew, wrote as follows after the issuance of the Balfour Declaration: “The government has dealt an irreparable blow at Jew ish Britons, and they have endeavored to set ui) ‘'i people which does not ex ist. They have alarmed unnecessarily the Mohammedan world, and in so far as they are successful they will have Germanized Palestine on the flank of Egypt. It seems useless to conquer it. Why we should intern Mahomet Ali in India for pan-Mohammedanism when we encourage pan-Judaism 1 cannot for the life of me understand.” New York, N. Y.—A deplorable situ ation obtains among the Jewish immi grants in Cuba, the Hias Council of Organizations was told by Fyodor Walbe, head of the Jewish Center of t uha. I housands of East European Jews are now on that island, Mr. Walbe said, adding that their economic condition is going from bad to worse and will soon be intolerable if aid is not forthcoming. Newark, N. J.—A notable precedent has been set by the local Board of Education in granting permission to a Talmud Torah to conduct its classes in a public school building. The reli gious school of the Tifereth Zion Con gregation, Orthodox, is undergoing al terations, and the officers applied to the Board for permission to conduct classes in a nearby school building for one month. Contrary to expectations, the request entailed little discussion, several Board members taking the view that if po litical meetings are permitted in school auditoriums, the request for use for religious instruction was not out of place. There is only one Jewish mem ber of the Board, former Judge Ed ward Schoen. Baltimore.—Paul C. Wolman, Balti more Jewish attorney, was elected na tional commander-in-chief of the Vet erans of Foreign Wars at the conclud ing session of that organization's thirty-first annual encampment.

Mr. Wolman, who has been senior vice-commander for three years, served overseas with the 313th infantry. For two years he was a member of the Veterans of Foreign Wars National Council of Administration, two years a judge advocate general. As com mander-in-chief he heads an organiza tion of 150,000 men who have services in all the wars of the United States since the Civil War. New York, N. Y.—Seven hundred fifty thousand dollars was left to the Hospital for Joint Diseases in the will of the late Alfred N. Heinsheimer, and $146,000 was contributed to the insti tution by the Federation for the Sup port of Jewish Philanthropic Societies, it was stated in the hospital’s annual report, just made public.
