Rosenbach as Honorary Chairman Rabbi Israel Goldstein, president of the New York Board of Jewish Ministers, is chairman of the committee, the treasurer. Carl H. Pforzheimer and Secretary, Rabbi J. Max Weis.

Littauer, $1,500; Cart. H. Pforzheimer, $1,500; Dr. A. S. W. Rosenbach $1,000; and Sol M. Stroock, in memory of Louis S. Stroock $1,000.
