The closing session of the 33rd annual convention of the Order Sons of Zion, held at the Hotel Ritz-Carlton with 400 delegates from 20 states attending, today adopted a resolution pledging individual and collective support for the unlimited national emergency proclaimed by President Roosevelt.
The resolution urged constituent camps of the order to buy defense bonds and otherwise to participate fully in the defense program. Other resolutions expressed gratitude to the President for denouncing treatment of Jews in totalitarian countries and praised the closing of German consulates in the United States.
Harry Grayer was reelected Grand-master; Harry Pino, Newark, and Abraham Redalheim, New York treasurers, and Herman Quittman, New York, secretary.

Announcement was also made of the completion of the Harris J. Levine Forest of 10,000 trees planted in honor of Dr. Levine’s services to the Jewish National Fund.
