STATE PALESTINE DE MILLE ACCEPTS CONFERENCE IS CALLED IN OMAHA BY B W I B'RITH; Mrs.

Archibald Silverman to Be "King of Kings" to Be Shorn of Objectionable Features. Speaker at Sunday Meeting. "NEW ERA."

FIGHT IS FINISHED.

Announcement is made this week of the convening of the Nebraska State Conference on Palestine next Sunday evening, January 15, in the Jewish Community Center. The call for the conference is signed by Messrs. J. J. Friedman, Fred White, Abe Goldstein, A. I. Kulakofsky, M. Minkin, and Mrs. A. Room and Mrs. M. F. Levenson, and will be held under the auspices of the Zionist organization of Omaha, the Omaha Commission for the United Palestine Appeal and of the local chapter Hadassah. What has lent unusual interest to this extraordinary conference is the further announcement that Mrs. Archibald Sflverman, one of the most prominent and,- -public-spirited communal leaders in New England, a woman who has during the past two years traversed the country from one end tc the other, will deliver the principal address. Provision has been made to accommodate several hundred of the leading Jews of this city who may want to participate in the conference and hear Mrs. Silverman's address. The Zionist movement in Omaha came into existence almost simultaneously -with the calling o£ the first congress by Dr. Theodore Herzl in 1897. Its appeal first came to the masses of the Jewish people. They were the ones who understood the persecution to which the Jew is being subjected, and they were the ones who were Teady to believe in the new faith that -was pr.onouncec by Herzl and'-iiis followers. Tire* second chapter in the history of the Zionist movement was the creation of your organizations. Then came the Balfour Declaration and the British Mandate. The calling of the present conference on Palestine, marks a new chapter in the annals of Omaha Zionism.

Cincinnati.—(J. T. A.)—A complete revision cf the motion picture, "Kingr of Kings," will be made by Cecil rie Mille, its producer, eliminating all the sequences objected to by Jews and leaders of Catholic and other Christian denominations, befoi-e it goes on tour in the United States, according to Alfred M. Cohen, international president o£ the Independent Order of B'nai B'rith, who made public here & telegram from John C. Flinn, president of the Pathe Exchange, owners cf the film, in which this assurance •was given. The rewion .is the outcome of negotiations between Mr. Cohen on. behalf of his organization and its antidefamation league, with Will II. Hays representing the Motion Picture Producers and Distributors of America, Inc., and will be made in accordance •with detailed suggestions by Mr. Cohen and Dr. David Philipson, dean of American Reform Kabbis. Mr. Flinr/s telegram read: "New York City, January 4, 1928, Alfred M. Coheu, President B'nai B'rith, Cincinnati. O.: "Mr. De MiVle has agreed to the changes of titles and modifications of scenes outlined in letter \%-rittrn l\v yourself and Mr. David Philipson of December 21 to Governor Milliken of Hay's organization. Am leaving for California tomorrow (Thursday) to assist on these changes to the end that both the spirit and the letter if what you wanted will be accomplished and the corrections made in the }.)icture now on exhibition before the public in all cities may be made by January 18, Regards, "JOHN C. FLINN, "Vice President Pathe Exchange." Mr. Cohen, declining to tmke public the letter detailing the modifications outlined by him and Dr. Phiilpaon and accepted by Mr. DeMllle and the Pathe Exchange, nevertheless stated that the picture as revised will be preceded by a special prologue written and signed by the producer. In this preface Mr. DeMille seeks completely to exculpate the Jews of guilt for the death of Jesus. The responsibility for the crucifixion, Mr. DeMille'e preface will say, was entirely that of Caiphas, the corrupt High Priest, an appointee of the Roman empire nnd other hirelings of that despotism, which at the time held Judea in thrall, The revision of the "King- of Kings" as it is to be shown after Ja-nuary IS in this country, it js expected will bring to an'end a fight which has been waged against the motion pfctnre on the grounds that it libelled the Jewish race against whom it tended to arouse prejudice and also that from the historic point of view it was grossly inaccurate. Protests against the picture were not limited to Jews, many leading Catholics and prominent; leaders of other Christian denominations inveighing against it also. When, before it was licensed for production in London, it was privately displayed to an invited gathering of British clergymen, the same controversy broke out there.

GIRLS MAY ASK MEN TO LEAP YEAR DANCE The Royal Vagabonds Orchestra will play for the physical training department dance January 14 at the Jewish Community. Center gymnasium. Two basketball games will be played before the dance. At 7 o'clock the girls' basket ball team will play Benson Christian church team and at S o'clock the Center team will play the American Business college. Novelty dances and stunts will be the feature of the evening. The girls will be privileged to ask the gentlemen for dances, as it happens to be a Leap year affair. The girls may also take this> opportunity and treat the boys to the dance. The women have the privileges this year.

Death of Mrs. Kaiman Mourned by Children The death of Mrs. Mary R. Kaiman, 3212 Cass street, occurred December 29 at her home. The death of Mrs. Kaiman came within a year of that of her husband. She is survived by four children, Abner Kaiman, William Kaiman, Ann Kaiman and Evelyn Kaiman, all of Omaha. At the time of her death, Mrs. Kaiman was 61 years of age. She had been a resident of Omaha for 27 years, having come t.. the United States from Poland in 1900.
