THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN
AND SUNDAY AMERICAN
NATIONAL NOTI S
New York, N. Y.—The Norfolk Com
munity gets $10,000, and the New York
Jewish Federation, $5,000, in the will of
Benjamin Altschul, who died on May
27th. A total of $40,000 was left to va
rious welfare institutions. Beneficaries
include the University of Virginia, $5,000;
Columbia University and the Hebrew
University of Jerusalem, $3,000 each;
Harvard University, $2,000.
New York, N. Y.—That Isa Kremer,
famous Jewish balladist and singer of
Jewish folk songs, plagiarized many of
the songs for which she is famous and
which she describes as her own, is the
charge contained in a suit for damages
filed in the New York Supreme Court by
Vladimir Heiftez. The latter alleges
that the “Album of Jewish Folk Songs”
published by Chappel & Co., and which
was issued as the work of Isa Kremer, is
entirely his own composition.
Boston, Mass.—Confronted with the al
ternative of accepting a post on the Mas
sachusetts Supreme Court or remaining
as a professor of law at Harvard Uni
versity, Felix Frankfurter decided to con
tinue as a teacher. 11 is decision was
made known in a letter to Governor Ely,
who made it public on the eve of the
meeting of the Executive Council which
was to have voted on the Governor’s ap
pointment of Frankfurter. Intimations
that Frankfurter’s decision had been
forced by his opponents, who had chal
lenged his fitness for the bench because
of his championship of the innocence of
Sacco and Vanzetti, or that he had been
unwilling to face a public hearing, were
scotched when it became known that
Frankfurter’s letter of rejection had been
written on June 29th, immediately after
the Governor had announced the appoint
ment. It was stated that Ely had not con
sulted his appointment and that he had
withheld publication of the letter in the
hope of persuading Frankfurter to accept
the post. In his letter, Frankfurter said:
“Your confidence in me, confirmed by the
widest expression of professional opinion,
makes any words of gratitude seem fee
ble and irrelevant. But I have other re
sponsibilities to the law which, after
much anguish of mind, I feel I ought not
to sever.”
New York, N. Y.—Charitable institu
tions of all denominations receive an ag
gregate of $95,000 under the terms of the
will of Mrs. Adele Schiff, widow of the
late Mortimer L. Schiff. The largest

ceeds of several newsstands which he
owned and operated.
New \ ork, N. Y.—A combination of all
three existing cantors’ organizations into
a l nited Cantors’ Association of the Uni
ted States and Canada, was proposed here
at a conference attended by three hun
dred of the group. Speakers stressed the
hardships falling upon singers in syna
gogues and temples and pointed out that

obtain the best protection for the interests
of cantors. The three existing bodies
must forget their differences, if cantors
are to survive, the conference was told.
Orthodox, conservatives and reform can
tors were present.
Chicago, Ill. Credit for the
tion restriction policy now ei
the United States Government
qualifiedly claimed by the p
party in the platform adopted
publican National Convention. ] ■
on immigration, on which
Hoover will make his fight fo,
tion, reads as follows:
“The restriction of immigration is
Republican policy. Our party
ted and enacted into law the rmota s VS -
tem, which for the first time has ma 'de
possible an adequate control of foreign
immigration. Rigid examination of ap
plicants in foreign countries prevented
the coming of criminals and other unde
sirable classes while other provisions of
the law have enabled the President to
suspend immigration of foreign wage-
earners who otherwise, directly or indi
rectly, would have increased unemploy
ment among native-born and legally resi
dent foreign-born wage-earners in this
country. As a result, immigration is now
less than at any time during the past
one hundred years. We favor the con
tinuance and strict enforcement of our
present laws upon this subject.
Philadelphia, Pa.—Rabbi Samuel Bloch,
of Youngstown, Ohio, who was taken ill
here while attending the convention of

Sinai Hospital. Rabbi Bloch, who wav

New York, N. Y.—If Adolf Hitler
should come to power in Germany, Jew
ish students and professors in the uni
versities would be compelled to enter
through the back door, Prof. Emil Gum-
bel, recently ousted as Professor of Po
litical Economy at Heidelberg l niver»it\
by influence of the Nazis, predicted in
an interview with New \ork It orlJ-
Telegram during his stay here at the
International House, having just returnee
from the Sixth International t ongres'
Genetics at Cornell University.
Prof. Gumbel, a mild-looking man, who

versify of Paris for the winter, in corn
menting upon the anti-Semitic tactics o
the Hitlerites, said: “I am of Jew is e
scent, but I am more German. ca ”
trace my ancestry in Germany bac 1
the 17th century. You have seen P 0 0
graphs of Hitler and the others,
at me. Do I not look the more Nordic.
It is a joke and an evil one.
Remarking that Nazi students at hr an
