THE REASON WHY..
I^We received several letters asking us on what we base our statement that the Youth for Christ organization is a Hearst- sponsored movement .Garey McWllUaras, reliable member ot the P. M. editorial staff publish¬ ed an expose on the Youth for Christ set-up, as far back as Ju- iy. of this year In It he shows how the Hearst papers all over the country are promoting the Y.F.C. movement in glaring sensational headlines, full page feature stories and specially drawn illustrations ,No, other newspaper Is paying anything but perfunctory attention to the "Religious Revival Cavalcade" headed by radio preachers and Insurance salesmen .If anyone tries to tell you that the Y.F.C. Movement Is a healthy religious movement we advise you to ask this $64 question How come that Rev. Earl Ople of Long Beach, California, a con¬ spicuous figure at all Youth for ChrLst rallies in Southern Cali¬ fornia was also conspicuous along with Gerald L. K. Smith at the convention of the Anglo- Israelite Fellows in Los Angles last June? .And in case you have forgotten at that conven¬ tion the most violent anti-Sem¬ itic speeches ever made were heard at every session.. .There are other connecting human links between the Y.F.C. and Gerald L. K. Smith's activities which are now under close scru¬ tiny by a. well-known ariti-Fas- clst group...
liBARNBD   OBSERVATIONS
I^The recent announcement that Dr. Julian Morgenstem, president of the Hebrew Union College favors the Zionist aspir¬ ations in Palestine gives Zion¬ i.sm the unanimous approval of the heads of all the Jewish Theoligical schools... President Louis Finkelstein of the Jewish Theological Seminary ranks among the leaders in American Zionism having served for years as head of the Intercollegiate Zionist Association... President Samuel Belkin of the Yeshlva College Is active In the Mlzrachl ... So is also Rabbl Saul Sllber of the Hebrew Theological Col¬ lege In Chicago...The Zionist leadership of Dr. Stephen Wise, head of the Jewish Institute of Religion Is one of the brilliant chapters of Jewish history So you see Jewish religious insti¬ tutions for once agree on one subject .The denunciation of Professor Mordecai M. Kaplan and his new Sabbath Prayer Book by the three outstanding scholars connected with the Jewish Theological Semitiary threatens to split wide open the ranks of the United Synagogues of America .The signers of the declaration against Dr. Kaplan are Professor Louis Glnzburg, Alexandef Marx and Saul Lleb¬ erman—all adherents of tradi¬ tional Judaism Professor Kap¬ lan and his followers belong to the Reconstructionist group, which believes In a streamlined American Judaism .

ery community has its out- stMding leaders—m en and women who, because of their life conduct and accomplish¬ ments, have attained the high¬ est places in the hearts and minds of their fellow citizens. Some acfUeve this prominence by the acquisition of great for¬ tunes, others by virtue of suc¬ cess in diverse fields of endeav¬ or. Few there are, however, who become so recognized exclusive¬ ly because of their service and contrlbuton to the cause of hu- manily. It is in this last cate¬ gory that such public .servants as Rose Sugarman, Dr. E. J. Gordon and Joseph Basch be¬ long.
On Thursday evening, Oct nth, at the Seneca Hotel, lead¬ ers of Columbus Jewish com¬ munity publicly acknowledged to Miss Sugarman gratitude and iBudation for the twenty-five years of devoted service to lo¬ cal Jewry as executive secretary of the, Jewish Welfare Federa¬ tion and the Schonthal Center.

Senator Robt. A. Tnft
.A capacity crowd of more than 1000 is expected to hear Senator Robert A. Taft when he speaks on the .'Subject, "The Need for Establishing a Jewish National Home in Palestine", at 8 p. m. Sunday in the Deshler- Wallick   ballroom.
Sponsored by the Columbus Zionist Organization, the meet¬ ing is attracting wide attention, due in |ian, to Kenator Taft's champlon.shlp of President Tru¬ man's recent action in suggest, ing to the British prime minis¬ ter, that 100,000 immigration certificates to Palestine be is¬ sued to the homeless Jews of Europe.
Sidney L. Katz. vice president of the local Zionist organization. Is chairman of the program com¬ mittee which arranged for Sen¬ ator Taft's local appearance.
In addition to Mr. Katz, the following men will be seated at the speaker's table; Herbert Lape, Sr., President of the Col¬ umbus Chamber ot Commerce; Albert Schiff, President of the Jewish Community Council, and Charles E. Martz, chairman of the American Palestine Com¬ mittee and editor of "Our Times", published by the Amer¬ ican Education Press. Mr. Katz win Introduce the Senator.
Senator Taft Is firmly In ac cord with President Truman's action regarding the Palestine problem, but has made the stateinent that even though the President's suggestion that 100,- OOO Immigration certificates are issued, the problem will not be solved since there are still ap¬ proximately 3,000,000 Jews left In central and eastern Europe.
It la the Senator's contention that the United States haa the right and that it Is this coun¬ try's duty to Insist that Britain open Palestine to Jews without reserve or  restriction.
