Plans for raising a $5,000,000 endowment fund were considered at a meeting of the Executive Board of the Union of American Hebrew Congregations at the Hotel Astor. The endowment fund plan was presented by Nathan J. Miller, Chairman of the New York Executive Committee, while the special committee headed by Jacob Nack of Cincinnati suggested a synagogue assessment tax, to which many member synagogues of the Union are already committed.
Members of the board were guests of 100 prominent Jews at dinner Sunday night, at which addresses were made by Mr. Miller, who presided, Charles Shohl of Cincinnati, President of the Union; the Rev. Dr. William Rosenau of Baltimore, Adolph S. Ochs, Judge Horace Stern of Philadelphia, Louis Marshall, Roger W. Straus, and Professor Ludwig Stein of Berlin.
