Judge Morris Rothenberg, chairman of the National War Effort Committee of the Zionist Organization of America, was honored at a testimonial luncheon today at the Hotel Biltmore, in recognition of his leadership of the current War Bond Campaign, in which more than $17,500,000 in War Bonds were sold by American Zionists.
Representatives of more than 100 Zionist societies in Greater New York as well as leaders of other Jewish communal groups participated in the testimonial luncheon. The speakers included Dr. Stephen S. Wise, Dr. Israel Goldstein, and Dr. James G. Heller of Cincinnati. The appreciation of the United States Treasury Department was conveyed by Mr. William C. FitzGibbons, special assistant to Henry Morgenthau, Jr., who came direct from Washington to address the luncheon, at which Judge Louis E. Levinthal presided.
