ZIONISTS PLACE ROTHENBERG IN JNF GOLDEN BOOK
The Downtown Zionist District, the oldest Zionist unit in the United States last night presented Morris Rothenberg, President of the Zionist Organization of America, with a certificate of the inscription of his name in the Golden Book of the Jewish National Fund, at Jerusalem, in recognition of his contribution to the Zionist cause during more than two decades. Upwards of 500 New York Zionists attended the celebration at the Central Plaza marking the opening of the new headquarters of that organization.
Beginning yesterday, hundreds of volunteers canvassed the Jewish public with boxes for contributions toward the upkeep of institutions maintained by Histadruth Ivrith. Last evening a Maimonides celebration by Histadruth Ivrith was held at the Hotel Pennsylvania.
