CALENDARS | INVESTIG* ON

Sol Bloom Objects to Plan Causing "Migratory" Sabbath.FURTHER HEARINGS JAN. 7 Washington (J. T. A.)—The House Foreign Affairs Committee at its second hearing yesterday regarding the proposed conference for revision of the civil calendar heard Dr. C. F. Marvin, chief of the United States Weather Bureau, who testified at length concerning the historical background of the present calendar. Congressman Sol Bloom, a member of the Committee, crossexamined Dr. Marvin regarding the effect of the proposed change in calendar on the Jewish Sabbath and other religious holidays; Dr. Marvin admitted that the proposed 13 months calendar would result in at least one "floating" Jewish Sabbath during the year, that is to say, the Jewish Sabbath which would fall on a day other than the present civil Saturday.

A sub-committee was named to arrange for testimony by various religious bodies, including the Jewish, in opposition to the proposed plans for calendar revision.

Dr. Abram Simon of Washington indicated the "whole-hearted approval" of the Synagogue Council of America for participation in an international congress for calendar revision, and said: "The Jewish people are not opposed to the general problem of calendar reform. They are most urgent, however, in having a provision for a fixed periodicity of the seventh day .;. Sabbath so that the regular sequence of the seven-day week shall in no wise be interrupted by the migratory or so-called 365th day of the yeari" Dr. Simon expressed hope that if the resolution introduced by Representative Porter requesting the president to call an international conference for revision of the calendar was passed and approved, the dominant , religious bodies in this country should have representation in the American group sent to the conference.

It was emphasized that if either of the two plans for calendar reform now under discussion was adopted, the effect would be to create a "wandering" or "migratory" Sabbath.

Mr. Bloom contended that if the blank day at the end of the year should fall on what is now Saturday, the next day, which is now Sunday, would under the proposed revision be Monday. In other words, both plans project the Sabbath and make its recurrence vary instead of fixed as at present.

"What "Is the objection to the change?" ^Representative Cole of Iowa asked.

"In all the changes that have been made in the calendar in the past, have the week days or the Lord's Day ever been changed?" Mr. Bloom rejoined.

"Do you think our Sabbath or Stroday is still identical with creation?" Mr. Cole continued. •• • : "No one has ever challenged it— absolutely," replied Mr. Bloom. — . Dr. Marvin was asked by Representative Cooper of Wisconsin if he considered that Sunday was set aside through a literal interpretatio nof Genesis. Dr. Marvin said he understood it was the result of the Fourth Commandment; of ;Mpsest i Mr. Bloom then suggested that the "wandering" Sundays might be cared for by saying up the blank days and adding another week every «ix. years or another month every twenty-three years.

Dr. Marvin replied that this would make the comparison of that year with other years impossible for scientific and business purposes.

Congressman Bloom announced following the hearing that he is preparing a detailed statement concerning the proposed reform in the calendar which he will issue in the near future. Further hearings of the Foreign Affairs Committee were adjourned until January 7, when another hearing will be held.

VOL. VII.—No. 50

Travels 6,000 Mites to Become Jew; HENRTMONSKYTO Death Cheats Him ofJewish Burial Warsaw (J. T. A.—All his life Harry Hirschfeld, aged Philadelphian, thought of" the day of his death when, because of a dramatic entanglement, he, who lived as a Jew, would' have to be burled with Christian rites in a Christian cemetery. He traveled six thousand miles to the capital of Poland in order to secure legal admission to the Jewish faith so that he might be accorded Jewish burial. Last week, when he died, at the age of 77, though" practically admitted to the faith of his forefathers, he was buried in a Christian cemetery. On October 18, when he left the Warsaw Rabbinate building, with assurance that he would be admitted into the fold of Judaism, Hirschfeld declared: "Today is the happiest day of my life. Now I am assured that when I die Jewish burial in consecrated ground will be accorded me."

Having secured the ruling of the Warsaw Rabbinate for his admission to Judaism, the aged American delayed his departure for the United States," awaiting an official government certificate. Before the wheels of officialdom turned out the recog-

nition of his conversion, Hirschfeld, a guest at the home of his brother, a member of the Catholic church, took sick and died. He was buried in the Catholic cemetery.

Born in the Christian faith, which his father embraced to marry the daughter of a Polish landowner, Harry Hirschfeld \ was reared as a Christian to his seventeenth year.

When be was 17, he went to the United States sixty years ago, leaving behind his father who lived in Warsaw where he conducted a large business and reared a family of six children in the Christian faith.

Coming to America as a lad of 17, Harry enjoyed the hospitality of his uncle, a Jew, wha resided in Philadelphia. Forgetting entirely his denominational affiliation, Harry lived as a Jew, marrying a Jewish girl and rearing his children in the Jewish faith.

Advanced in years, his wife dead, his children married, Hirschfeld recalled his official status and was haunted by the idea that when he die he may be refused burial according to Jewish rites. For this reason he made the trip to Warsaw, Mr. Hirschfeld told the Warsaw rabbis.

It is nearly a century since the most ancient of habitable cities, Damascus, was subjected to the tyranny of Ibraham, Pasha of Egypt, and the fierce reprisals of the Druses. Severe were the sufferings of the Jews • and profound their gratitude when relief was organized by that impressive leader of his generation, the latter Sir Moses Montefipre. The services which Sir Moses Montefiore had rendered to a single city were the services which Felix M. Warburg was able to render to Jews throughout the old world. He organized their rescue.

Not offen in the history of a people, long oppressed, had there been a crisis as terrible as this. It bad been the policy of governments in eastern Europe to concentrate the Jewish people in definite areas— Polish. Russian and Roumanian— and these were the very areas trampled under the feet of advancing ami retreating armies. Subject in time of peace to the age-long rivalries of race, the Jews in many districts were now confronted with obliteration.

When the war broke out in 1914.

Mr. Felix M. Warburg was in his forty-fourth year, the very prime of life. Born in Hamburg, the son of Moritz Warburg, the banker, he knew Europe. But as a partner in the House of Kuhn, Loeb & Co. and the son-in-law of Jacob Schiff. he was absorbed also in the life of the United States. He became, as it were, the recognized trustee of that Jewish benevolence—rich to poor— which, for thousands of years, has been tested and has never failed. Between October. 1914. and December.

1926. there was collected and administered for the relief of Jewish suffering a sum of no less than $63.3(52.685. To this colossal figure Mr. Warburg contributed his full share. .More important than his contributions was the responsibility which, with others, he shouldered not only for the proper use but for the wisest use of resources so immense. In 1919 there were no fewer than 300, 000 children receiving assistance, and today the beneficiaries, all told, are 400.000.

"What does this young giant want from me? his surprised glance seemed to %sk% "I wanted to have a talk with you, Lipshitz," Allan began casually. "I wonder if you'd come over to my room?"

"We can talk on the campus," Lipshitz answered. "I have to be in "Waverly Hall in half an hour. You can go that way with me." Lipshitz sought no condescension from the college idol.

With a thought for what his fraternity brothers would say if they saw him walking with Lipshitz, Allan strode beside his classmate. "I just wanted to tell you, Lipshitz," Allan continued in his offhand manner, "I just wanted to tell you how I hated that scene Chalmers put on the other day. It's been bothering me. I didn't want you to think that I didn't consider it brutal.'

Lipshitz was embarrassed. "Oh, I didn't expect anything better from Chalmers. We get used to putting up with such things. I consider the source and forget it. But of course, you couldn't understand such charity."

Allan laughed, covering his nervousness. "You see, what I particularly wanted you to know, you alone, is that I do understand." Allan marshalled his courage for the supreme step, the step which, he felt, would free him. "You see," he continued, "I do understand. I happen to be Jewish, too."

Lipshitz came to a dead stop on the graveled walk. "Jewish!" he exclaimed. "You, Jewish!"

"Yes. We're co-religionists, you know."

Only a gasp escaped Lipshitz.

Then, slowly, he found words. Bitter words, sharp, biting words of denunciation. "You could let' me stand up there like that! You didn't say a word. You, you coward!"

Allan stood silent beneath the lashing words. * Lipshitz went on, his head thrown back, a strange fire in his eyes. "You will go before that class, you will stand before that class and tell them what you have just told me!"

"But say, old man," this Allan had not looked for, "I can't do that.

What would my. frat brothers say?

What about all my friends? What of my future? I'm majoring in engineering, you know."

At the entrance to Waverly Hall, Lipshitz turned. The fire had gone out of his voice and he spoke calmly, quietly. "I, too, am majoring in engineering. But I would not have success at your price. No, I won't say anything more. I won't even insist on your telling anybody. If you are content to go on as before, very well, the matter is dropped. I will not breathe it to a soul." His full lips curled in contempt. "But," he added, "if there is a spark of Jewishness in you, you will go of your own free will to Professor Chalmers and tell him what you have told me. Go refute his Nordic theory!" * Lipshitz opened the door, pausing for a last word. "You may lose all your friends," he said, "but you can come to me then, I will be your friend." He went in, asking no reply of Allan, who stood transfixed.

How long he stood there he did not know. All thoughts had faded from him, especially remote were his thoughts of the rosy future he had planned, for himself. Nor could he recall Lipshitz's words. Only the look of contempt Lipshitz had cast upon him. That burned in him,

THE WASHINGTON JEWISH MIRROR When Calvin Coolidge exploded his "big navy" bomb on Armistice Day he displeased many Americans and most Europeans but he warmed the heart of almost every sea officer and especially the members of the General Board of the Navy in Washington. Rear Admiral Joseph Strauss will be kept mighty busy if the Senate agrees with the President and approves of a bigger navy for the Jewish officer is one of those charged with the task of supervising the construction of new ships.

"Joe" Strauss is an important figure in the technical and government circles in which he moves: but hi.« family is not far behind him in soseared him to the core. At last he stirred, squared his broad shoulders and with determined step, moved on.

Professor Chalmers no longer supports the Nordic theory and the firm of Lipshitz & Parker, consulting engineers, is comfortably successful in our town.

Admiral Strauss has borne the title of his present rank nnvv ig ls when he took command or » dition which laid the niine-imrraw across tbe North Sea and the stibwqnent expedition which smvt ; t n p in 1919. He is stationed here in Washington as a member <>f the General Board of the Navy fur w l l i c l l position he is particularly not only because of his e on the sea but because of his invenrive genius and executive cup,,,,, ity. Few realize that the Jewish naval officer is the inventor of the super-imposed turret system of mounting guns on battleships, for a quarter of a century has passed since his contribution of this valuable system to the U. S. Xiivy. It is also interesting to recall that Rear Admiral Strauss was a member of the final commission appointed to ascertain the cause of the disaster of the battleship Maine when it was uncovered at the harbor of Havana in 1911. France. England and Japan have added their highest honors tc the rear admiral's decorations by the United States government.

FOUR—THE JEWISH PEESS, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 28,1928

SporCSplinters By FRANK B. ACKERMAN The Battle of the Century is billed for this coming Saturday at the Center gym when the undefeated J. C. C. quintet clashes -with the Palmer Motors of Council Bluffs, also unbeaten. Krasne's proteges will attempt to make it nine straight,-but have their hands full, and then some. The Palmer Motors are led

by Al Brown, former captain at Creighton, and took the J. C. C. eager s down a notch last season.

The Varsity hoopsters feept their slate unblemished by outplaying the fast Plattsmouth Athletic Club by the score of 39 to .27. The entire first five starred. Attainder, Schreibman, Rosenblatt, Kaufman and Gerelicfc. Among the stellar performers in the opposing lineup was Kreijeck, all-state Peru basketeer.

Krasne is angling for games with Peru, Miedland and Lutheran colleges. He has just closed for a game with the Davenport Confectionery of Fremont. .

FELIX WARBURG

there still remained the riftl over, between the Zionists and the nonZionists. There never has been a controversy in which it is easier to say that both sides are right. To Jews still subject to the discriminations of Europe, particularly eastern Europe, it is natural to look for a political sovereignty of their own in Palestine. But to Jews enjoying the opportunities of citizenship in English speaking democracies, the political problem has been adjusted and the future assumd a spiritual aspect. They can never forget the destiny, symbolized in the promised land but it is the culture of Palestine, not a crown, that here and now is of importance; and, as they think—the Jewish people should associate their special faith with a varied allegience. Dr. Weizmann has been the responsible leader of the Zionists. Among non-Zionists, there is no man more representative and more conciliatory than Felix M. Warburg.

Despite all differences, to hold the Jewish people in one fellowship of a helpful faith—this is today the desire of all Jews whose desires are worth considering. An element in that comradeship has been and long will be the help extended by Jews of the new world to Jews of the old world in an honr of dire need. Nor has that help ceased. Tne Jewish Aegncy is calling for $5,000,000 a

Un^ersity a t Jerusalem, Mr. Warburg has been, needless to add, a warm and generous friend.

In the United States, also1, Mr. Warburg has been active in his service of the community. The great building on Forty-seventh street in New York which is devoted to the Federation for the Support of Jewish Philanthropic Societies knows hiin well, and we find him receiving Honor Keys from the Young Men's Hebrew Association. Indeed, there is no enterprise of this kind of which he has not been cognizant, often in a responsible capacity, and on many occasions he has been a spokesman for Jewish opinion and influence on federal or civic bodies like the Sesqui-Centennial Commission at Philadelphia or the Welfare Council, embodying 20,000 agencies in New York. It was Mr. Warburg who proposed that a Jew, a Catholic and a Protestant should each subscribe a sum of §100,000 for the acquisition of Monticello, the home of Thomas Jefferson, and its maintenance forever as a shrine of the religious liberty of which Thomas Jefferson was so stout an advocate.

Uncorking a short, sure-fire passing attack that had their opponents bewildered throughout the greater part of the second half, the Thorpeian Athletic club defeated the Peerless Cleaners, 26 to 18, and broke the first place tie Wednesday night in the J. C. C. Commercial . league.

The thud of losing their offensive keyman, Sammy Kauffman, shortly after the final half ^opened seemed to awaken the Thorpeians and, with Phil Gerelick and Johnny Kosenblatt packing the heaviest guns, they put the game on "ice,1 the former snaring four and the latter three goals. However, high point total went to Forward Giventer with nine markers. I. Schriebman led the losers with six counters.

A field goal and. a gift shot by Ben Rosen in the: dying seconds, of the game gave Psi Mu a 17-16 win over the Bfodkey Construction, who had held a asmall lead throughout.

Moscow (J. T. A.)—The White Russian Central Executive Committee at a plenary session voted to strengthen the fight against antiSemitism in White Russia. The adoption of this resolution became necessary in view of the fact that despite the extensive campaign carried on in the Communist press against the anti-Semitic wave, a few cases of hooliganism are recorded daily.
