CORRECTION

An error occurred in the report in the “Bulletin” of May 25 regarding the establishmen if the American branch of the Judea In urance Company. It was erronepusly re{SPAN}###ted{/SPAN} that there are no restrictions in Palest{SPAN}###{/SPAN} concerning investment of reserves and the Company is therefore in a position to trans{SPAN}###{/SPAN} all funds for Palestine investment. This hould have read: there are no restrictions in Egypt and the Company is therefore in a {SPAN}###sition to transmit funds for Palestine In### estment.{/SPAN}Seventeen thousand dollars of the Company’s reserve funds are invested in Municial bonds of Tel Aviv and not seventy thousand as reported.

The Manhattan Post of the Jewish Veterans if the Wars of the Republic demanded an apology from Fire Commissioner John J. Dorman because of a joke he told at the meeting of the Holy Name Society, and which the Jewish Veterans of the Wars of the Republic in a resolution adopted on Sunday described as an “aspersion on the Jewish race.”
