Those appointed as vice-chairmen are Hyman Adler, Dr. Philip Bereano, Dr. Bercu Fisher, A. Lazar Kushner, Dr. Jacob Liff, Magistrate Bernard Mogilesky, Dr. Harry Projector, Louis Schneider, Rabbi Henry A. Schorr, Maurice Shapiro, County Court Judge Harry Stackell, Solomon J. Weinstein, Matthew L. Margolish, treasurer; Reuben Bernson, assistant treasurer, and David S. Maltin, secretary. The vice-chairmen will represent the various Zionist organizations and sections of the Bronx.
