Rosenberg, Mrs. Rebekah Kohut, David Bressler, Judge Otto A. Rosalsky and Morris Rothenberg. Mme. Sophie Braslau and Rev. Simon Schlager, Cantor of Temple Emanu-El, will render a musical program.

Tribute to President Hoover for his achievements in the rehabilitation of millions of human beings, Jews and non-Jews, sufferers from the World War, and in rescuing vast numbers from starvation and disease, was paid by James N. Rosenberg, chairman of the New York Allied Jewish Campaign in a radio-address over station WEAF Sunday afternoon.

“No man, Jew or Christian, can forget the name of Herbert Hoover for his beneficent work as head of the American Relief Administration, which was conducted without regard to race or creed, but with regard to the need. It has been one of the greatest chapters in the history of beneficence and well doing. In a statement made by Mr. Hoover recently he spoke of the Jews in America in their relief work overseas, and described these efforts as ‘a large contribution to the cause of good will between people’,” Mr. Rosenberg said.
