The New York chapter of the United States Maccabee Association will meet Sunday evening in the Bronx Y.M.H.A., Fulton Avenue and 171st Street, for the purpose of reorganizing the association in this city.

The U. S. Maccabee Association, an affiliate of the World Maccabee Union which has international headquarters in London, will attempt to revivify interest in the movement and enroll 100,000 members in this country.

The purpose of the movement is to upbuild Palestine by enlisting the resources of Jewish youths who are interested in physical and cultural self-development.

Lord Melchett, honorary president of the World Union, recently commissioned Nathan L. Goldstein, Zionist and New York attorney, to head the revival movement in the United States. Plans are under way for participation by the United States group in the second Maccabiad scheduled to be held in Palestine in 1935.
