A dinner honoring Nathan Straus, Jr., for his services to Palestine will be utilized to open the American Palestine Campaign of the Jewish Agency in New York City on March 29th, according to an announcement issued by the Jewish Agency for Palestine, the body administering Jewish reconstruction activities in Palestine.
The committee sponsoring the dinner, to which invitations are today being issued, comprises Dr. Cyrus Adler, Governor Herbert H. Lehman, Louis Lipsky, Judge Julian W. Mack, James Marshall, Morris Rothenberg, Felix M. Warburg and Dr. Stephen S. Wise.
The dinner to Mr. Straus will be a city-wide function, with hundreds of delegates from each section expected. In previous years of fund-raising for Palestine, emphasis has been placed upon individual functions in the various boroughs. But in order that every element and group of New York Jewry may participate in the testimonial to Mr. Straus, who is Chairman of the American Palestine Campaign of Greater New York, the efforts of all Palestine workers will be concentrated on this single function, through which the great bulk of New York’s quota for Palestine is expected to be raised.
