New York, N. Y.—Jews “talk
too much”, declared Dr. Cyrus Adler,
president of the American Jewish
Committee, in discussing current
Jewish conditions at the Jewish
Theological Seminary, of which he is
president. Admitting that the situa
tion of Jews in Eastern Europe is
very depressing, Dr. Adler neverthe
less declared that the newspapers
color the situation even “gloomier
than the fact warrant”. He felt that
too much emphasis was being placed
on the trivalities and not sufficient
on the fundamental developments in
Jewish life. He indicated that condi
tions that are unfavorable can be al
leviated without the constant public
rehashing which now occurs.
Reporting on his visit through Eu
rope last summer, Dr. Adler also said
that the “ghetto crouch” is still evi
dent in many Jewish communities.
He explained the term as a constant
seeking of the “opdnion of people
outside of our field about ourselves.”
In this connection he also condemned
the habit which American Jews have
too of soliciting messages from high
officials for the opening of fund-rais
ing efforts as well as for the leading
Jewish holidays.
New York, N. Y. (WNS)—Because
of the death of his partner, Mortimer
Schiff, which has increased his duties
in the business of Kahn, Loeb & Co.,
Otto H. Kahn has resigned his post
as president of the Metropolitan Op
era Company.
New York, N. Y. (WNS)—S. How
ard Cohen, chief clerk of the New
York City Board of Elections, has
been named by the Democratic Coun
ty Committee for president of the
board. Cohen, a lawyer, is of Seph
ardic descent and is a member of the
Sons of the American Revolution.
Washington, D. C.—Among the hun
dreds of messages of felicitations re
ceived by Supreme Court Justice Louis
D. Brandeis, on the occasion of his
75th birthday on November 13th, was
one from President Hoover who
wrote:
“Mrs. Hoover and I wish to be
early in conveying to you our warm
est congratulations on your seventy-
fifth birthday. It is not necessary for
us to remind you of the many sat
isfactions which have crowned your
public service and that you reflect a
heart and mind which have made the
nation your debtor. Even during your
service as a member of the highest
court in the land, you have found time
to give service to the advancement
of the Jewish homeland, and I have no
doubt this has hrought happiness and
comfort to thousands.”
New York, N. Y.—The Jewish popu
lation gives youth to the city of New
York, according to a statement made
in an article in the New York Times
which was written by Dr. Louis I.
Dublin, noted statistician of the Met
ropolitan Life Insurance Co. Review
ing the component parts of New
York’s population, Dr. Dublin says
that the Jews have made two impor
tant contributions.
“They have contributed youth. More
than 40 per cent of the city’s Jews
are under 20 years of age. Second, it
has contributed an extremely low
death rate. The death rate among Jews
from tuberculosis is about two-fifths
of that of the general population. The
infant mortality rate is also extreme
ly low, Jewish babies seem to have a
genius for survival, even under the
most unfavorable physical conditions.
But coupled with a low death rate
among Jews is an extremely low birth
rate.”
Zion, Ill.—In 1936, the Gentile na
tions will perish and the Kingdom of
Judah will be restored. That is the
prophecy made by Wilbur Glenn Vo-
liva, head of the Christian Catholic-
Apostolic Church, who bases his pre
diction on the theory that “the times
of the Gentiles” will last 2,520 solar
years, counting from the downfall of
King David. In 1936 the nations will
engage in a cataclysmic war and out
of the ashes of the world the Jews
will rise to new glory, Voliva says.
New York, N. Y.—Statistics show
ing the percentage of religious affilia
tion in 98 publicly controlled colleges,
comprising 253,811 students reveal
that 3.7 per cent have indicated Juda
ism as their religion. The Jewish stu
dent population of these schools is
9,434. These figures were made after
a survey conducted by the Council of
Church Boards of Education, which
declared that students in American
universities were increasingly becom
ing affiliated with organized religion.
New York, N. Y.- James Waterman
Wise has announced the forthcoming
publication of “Opinion: A Journal

Samuel, Ludwig Lewisohn and John
Haynes Holmes. The new magazine
will be a weekly review of Jewish
events

mandl, Joseph Greenberg and Joseph
