$41,425 PLEDGED
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 a 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
as 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 owm pain most." Referring to a
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
come about in America.
Co-chairmen or the appeal drive
are Morris Simon, who presided as
dinner chairman, Isidore Hershfleld
and Morris Cafritz. Harry Viner is
campaign manager, and Louis E.
Spiegler and Mrs, John M. Safer are
co-directors.
Dr. Simon, in announcing tiie
$80,000 goal, said he hoped for at
least a 3313 per cent increase. Last
year's goal of $60,000, he said, was
exceeded by $2,000.
Hershfleld pointed out there are
now more than 400.000 Jews in Ger
many, Poland, Latvia, Lithuania and
Rumania who need assistance. “It
la 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'Nal
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
aeveral years.”
"Hitler is trying to stifle 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 volunteer
workers are expected to solicit during I
the drive.
It was requested that names of
donors be withheld from publication.
Three men contributed $5,000 each.

curities in cash. The Federal Reserve
Board has authority to boost this to
100 per cent.
Officials at the Reserve Board said
they were making a careful, continuing
study of the extent of stock market
speculation. 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 artiflcally. There was no indi
cation, however, whether such action
would be taken.
Securities Commission authorities
reported they, too, were keeping a
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 some
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 a group
of steel companies with collusion in
submitting identical bids to Govern
ment agencies.

EUGENE C. GOTT, Pres.
Germans and Italians were potent
factors in the Insurgent push, issued
a statement accusing these foreigners
of “directing the most brutal drive
the civil war has known” from a
headquarters at Deva.
Extermination Plan Charged.
Reinforcements are coming con
stantly to the Insurgents; the Basques
have received 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
so the insurgents can seise Bilbao 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
avoid 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
opposed advance of Oen. Emilio Mola’s
Insurgent forces were withheld from
the Bilbao populace to prevent panic
and internal disorders.'
Authorities remained confldent 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 oooped-up population
and were feverishly building shelters.
Oen. francosco franco’s insurgent
troops Were inside the craggy moun
tains south and east of Bilbao, which
have been the defenders’ strongest na
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."
