Governor Julius M. Meier, of Oregon, one of the two Jewish Governors in the United States, was the guest of honour at a luncheon given at the Bankers Club here, arranged by Rabbi Jonah B. Wise, who is National Chairman of the American Joint Distribution Committee campaign, and a former resident of Oregon.
Rabbi Wise revealed that Governor Meier had this year been the first, and outside New York, the largest donor to the funds of the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee.
En route to New York, Governor and Mrs. Meier stopped in Washington, where they were guests of President and Mrs. Hoover.
