The first two days’ campaigning for the Detroit quota of $125,000 for the United Palestine Appeal brought in $40,000. This sum includes a pledge of $5,000 from a group of Detroiters in California.
The campaign was opened with a banquet on Monday evening at which Rabbi Aba Hillel Silver was the principal speaker. The campaign in Detroit is this year strengthened by the cooperation of the “Service Group,” of which Sam Summerfield is president, and which last year conducted the United Jewish Campaign in Detroit. Joseph H. Ehrlich is president of the Detroit Appeal and Morris Friedberg is chariman of the campaign.
The House of Representatives of New Hampshire without debate killed the anti-evolution bill on Thursday. The House accepted the adverse report of the Committee on Education. The bill would prohibit the teaching of the theory of evolution in the schools of the State.
