A call for men was made by Louis Marshall in an address at a conference of members of the Real Estate Division yesterday at the Hotel Biltmore. “If this campaign fails,” he emphasized, “it will not be due to the fact that the Jews were not generous in the giving, but because of the lack of a large army of workers.”
Harry Goodstein, chairman of the Realtors, also spoke, and appointed a committee to assist him in raising its quota of $1,000,000. The committee consists of Edward Blum, Hyman Sonn, Nathan Wilson, Benjamin Winter, David W. Kempner, Benjamin Benenson, Max Gordon, Barnet M. House and Nathan C. House.
