Robbins and Lcvlnsohn
The aid in the finding of Raymond Robbins, furnished by Salomon Lcvln¬ sohn, the Chicago lawyer, who ^has for years been a friend of Robbins and a co-partner in his peace endeavors, serves to call anew attention to Levinsohn.
It will be recalled, that tfie Kellogg peace pact was largely the work' ot Levinsohn, and one newspaper now re¬ ports that at least one of the reasons why licvinsohn was not mentioned for the Nobel prize, while Kellogg got it, was that Levinsohn refused to have his name presented. This despite the fact, that he not only formulated the Kellogg pact, but spent tens of thousands of dollars out of his own funds in promoting peace endeavors.
I like this act of Levinsohn in refus¬ ing to have his name presented. One of my suppressed desires has always been to turn down some prize, but thus far, alas, I have not had the opportunity. I have always dreamed of Harvard Uni¬ versity ottering me an honorary degree and myself nonchalantly answering: "What can I do with the diploma—my wall is all cluttered up now with photo¬ graphs from the rotagravure section of Bishop Cannon, Cal Coolidge and Texas Guinan. Give it to Slomovitz or Frisch or Biehen".
**He*s a She" I sec where the New York Times in speaking of DufF Guilfond's just appear¬ ing work about Coolidge—"The Rise of Saint Calvin", refers to the author as "He".
May I call their attention to the fact that Duff is not a "he", but very much of a "she".
I have never met her myself, but I have met a man who is her husband—a He¬ brew boy—who until lately was working on the Washington Bi-Centennial Com¬ mittee at Washington.
Duff is a little Hebrew inaid, but where she got the moniker ot "Guilfond'' I don't know.
However, she writes swell, and the Rise of St. Calvin, if I mistake not, is going over very, welL
Miss Brandeis Goes Slangy I was a little hesitant about using the word "swell" in the previous paragraph, but my hesitancy was overcome by read¬ ing in the newspapers that Susan Bran- dcisj appearing before the, recently es¬ tablished Conciliation Court in Brooklyn , had used the word. Not only that, but Justice Brandeis' daughter had gone fur¬ ther and used the words "nope" and "yep".
I suppose Miss Brandeis or rather Mrs. Gilbert, to u.sc her marriage name, was feeling very democratic on that particular day.
After all, there is no such thing in itself aa "good usage". There are fash¬ ions in words as in clothes. Today, for instance, only the southern darkey will say "Aks" for ask. And yet, three or four hundred years ago, the literary way of saying the word was "aks".
Our "Oh Yeah" Department Felix Adler before Ethical Culture Society: "The madness for money is not universal. The Buddhist and the Brahmins do not share it. . . tt is wrong to ascribe a material motive to everything. Certainly,, no material motive explains the. Crusades."
For Prof. Adier's information, may we call attention to the fact that the Brah¬ mins are the principal land owners of India, and we imagine that much of their high caste is due to nothing but that fact, a very material fact. As to the Cru¬ sades, we .ire no authority, but we would wager two pipefuls of Prince Albert, Granger or any other inexpensive smok¬ ing tobacco to Felix Adier's one, that the thousands who left on the Crusades cared very little about the Holy Sepulchre, but responded to the opportunity of getting away from the economic penury and grindstone to which the masses through¬ out; that period, were condemned. We regard that as a very material motive. Why His Hands Shake If I mentioned his name, it you are among the book-wise, you would know it. He has achieved something of a reputa¬ tion in_ American biography.
He is a young Hebrew boy—with a soft, almost feminine look, and his hand always 'quivers.
The quiver has a strange, source. It stems from the recent light to make the world safe, for democracy.
It seems rather strange to think of him in that light, but when he got over there, he was put to taking care of the dead bodies. A year of handling dead bodies wrote something on his nervous sys¬ tem—and the shaking of his hands is the result of that writing.
Why She Is Dying She is in a sanatorium on the'coast, dying of tuberculosis.   That is what the doctors say, but her friends say she is dying of a broken heart. She is the wife of a professor, who I    is nationally known.   He is Jewish.   He is the author of several works on' eco¬ nomics which are very well thought of in the academic world.
The professor was working very hard. "Why don't you get somebody to help you with the research?" his wife pleaded.
He finally saw her point, and a young woman was brought in as his secretary- He decided to make a tripe to Europe and took the young woman along. She became more than his secretary. "The wife was pushed out of the picture.
She is dying alone in a. Pacific Coast satiatorium.

Wohl Describes Condition of
Jews and Judaism In
Foreign Lands
Cincinnati   Rabbi   Presents   Brilliant
Elxi>osition of Jewish Progress
In Holy Land
All Jewish AU-American Football Team for 1932|n«™|nKome op ohIo''
By George Joel
A graphic description of the condition of Jews and Judaism in Germany, Rus¬ sia, and Palestine was given before a targe crowd of men and women who thronged the social hall of the East Broad Street Temple, Monday evening, November 28th, by Rabbi Samuel Wohl of the Isaac M. Wise Temple, Cincin¬ nati, Ohio. The meeting was held under the auspices of Zion Lodge No. C2, B'nai B'rith,
During the past three : summers Dr. Wohl, an honor graduate of the Hebi-ew Union College, has spent a great deal of time in these lands meeting the rank and file of the people as well as their leaders and making a special study of the changes that have come over the Jewish communities there. In Germany, the Rabbi pointed out; Hitler has stirred up a great deal of trouble for his Jewish fellow-citizens, He is doing everything within his power to make life miserable for them. Nevertheless, the Jews of Germany are not discouraged, nor are they filled with fear. They are now more united than ever before and take a keeher interest in Jewish matters^ especially in Jewish nationalism.
In Russia there is no official anti- Semitism, pointed out Rabbi Wohl. However,: among large, groups of Rus¬ sians there still obtains a hatred against 'and a jealousy of the sons of Israel liv¬ ing in the Soviet Empire.1 Jewish chil¬ dren are being taught to look upon re¬ ligion as poison.. They are infused with a spirit of revolt against Jewish cus¬ toms, traditions and cerenionials. From infancy on, they are admonished to loathe rabbis:and religious leaders of aJt' denominations. . The Hebrew language is proscribed in this land, asserted Rabbi Wohl; so is the Zionist movement as a whole. The speaker predicted the time when Judaism,as a religion will he dead and buried in Soviet Russia.
Concerning Palestine, Dr. Wohl was very optimistic. He said that the prog¬ ress of Jewish rehabilitation there is amazing. Nowhere else in the world is there a greater love for the Jewish Na¬ tional ideal as there is in the Holy Land, Economically, religiously and culturally the Jews in Eretz Yisroel are making great forward strides. They live there a complete, happy, and normal life, un- contaminated by extraneous infliiences. "It is truly inapirihs," he. declared, "to come in contact with the young people of Palestine."
Rabbi Levinger introduced Dr. Wohl in a few appropriate words. Prior to the chief address of the evening, a ten- minute review of current events was given by Allan Tarshish. Brother I. W. Garek spoke entertainingly concerning the "90th birthday anniversary of the B'nai B'rith Order.
President Robert Mellman of Zion Lodge urged the members of the con¬ servation committee to continue their ef¬ forts and to collect all the delinquent dues. He announced that at the next ineeting of the Lodge on Monday eve¬ ning, December 12th, another initiation will take place. On this occasion the second nomination of officers will take place. Election will be held on De¬ cember 26th. Meanwhile the fiery con¬ test for the oflice of guardian is waxing hotter than ever. Frank Bayer is con- vince<l that he wiU lead the ticket. On the other hand Sam Gurevitz, Abe Wol¬ man, and Louis A. Gertner are bending every effort to gain the most votes.
This is the seventh year that the Jew¬ ish Telegraphic Agency through its in¬ trepid and erudite sports editor (that's me) has, sent you an All Jewish AU American football team. Some attempt has been made to represent all sections of the country but no player was cliosen solely because of his collegiate affiliation. In past years I have always called in outside help but this year I am doing it as a solo and any complaints you have may be directed at me.

the BackAeld The only weakness of this year's AU Jewish team lies in its alternate and re¬ serves forces. The first team could give any college eleven a busy afternoon with odds that it would walk off with the honors. Look at the 6rst string back- field—^Newman, a place kicker, passer and signal caller, a player without whom Michigan would never have won the Big Ten title. He is a certain All American choice. As running mates he has Fishel, a line plunger and defense man, second to few^ and Ehowitz, one of the best off tackle slicers in the game. At fullback you have Weittstock whose work on the great Pitt team was.a potent factor in that team's success. The alternate back- field would suffice to fill in but only for a short time. It lacks the offensive drive of the first team. In the seven years I' have been picking All Jewish teams  I  can't remember  one that had
such  a  superb  all  around  backficld  as combine the present selection.
Tho Line
With ends IJko Gilhnan and Goldsmith to get down under kicks and slow up the interference on defense play our first string backs would have plenty of time to get in and make the tackles. As pass receivers few can out catch either of these boys.' Both arc veterans and would be hard to fool. Itzkowitz and Rasen arc a pair of tackles that can make a star out of any back on their own teams and make the opposing backs wonder what happened to their interfer¬ ence. Both men are fine on diagnosing plays and Rosen is mmsually fast for a linesman. Little need be said about Rosenberg at guard—^he is certain of national honors. A i>erfcct fellow to have around when the other team has your boys down on their one yard line. No one can pile up a line like the coast boy and he can come out of the line like a shot lo muss up a faltering backfield. Rosenberg is as good as most pairs of guards but with Rubin as a running mate you have a pair of the finest guards in the country. At center Weiner of C. C. N. Y. deserves the call. Playing, on a team that experienced a bad season this boy showed more fight than a worried wild cat. He gets the call on his guts alone. Besides that he is a fine passer and bulwark of strength on the defense.
The alternate line is stronger than the alternate backfield. It lacks experience. Levy and the Singer boys are sopho¬ mores but Samuelson adds his knowledge of three hard seasons to help the young¬ sters- along. There are few coaches in the country that wouldn't, rest easy if they had such a team sitting on the bench waiting for the cgll.
There are two names omitted from these selections but only because of con¬ ditions outside our control, Grossman of N. Y. U., a halfback, was all set for a big season, but an early injury kept him on the bench and Kopans of Har¬ vard, a riieniber of Jast year's team, was out because of scholastic troubles. Had cither of these men been able to get into the game they would certainly have been chosen.
There are many reasons for making the selections set down here, but as I am sure to receive any number of com¬ plaints I shall save my ammunition for some future date. All I will say now is that I would hate to invite the cpaches of college football to take their pick of these players.   I'd .be killed in the rush!

I^bbi     Zelizer     Announces
Sermon for Friday, December
29th
On Friday, December 29th, 8 p. jn.. Rabbi Nathan Zelizer will speak in Easl Broad Street Temnle on the subject "A Civilization Without Dreams." In our present system of conduct there seems to he no place for the dreamer, for the man of vision. Everybody wants practical results in everything. Even our youth—and youth is the time for Utopias—enthusiasms and dreams—even our youth is losing, its charm and grace because it is devoid of dream and fancy. What may be the consequences? Every¬ body is welcome.
Hadassah Membership Drive Is Now In Full Swing
Successful Candidates Extend Appreciation
Friends of E. M. Gordon. -i&S S. Ohio Ave., wll he glad to know that Ross Anderson, successful candidate for sheriff of Franklin County, has already announced his reappointment as deputy. Mr. Gordon was one of the most ardent workers in Ross Anderson's campaign. It is also interesting to note that Loui$ Gertner, 971 Oakwood Ave., was reap- Ijointed by Charles E. King to his former post as deputy county clerk, and Miss Bess Gurwin, 677 Kimball Place, will re¬ tain her former ptsition in the office of the County Recorder, Raymond E, Schaefer.
Messrs. Anderson, King and Schaeffcr take this means of extending their grate¬ ful appreciation to the Jews of Franklin County who supported them in Ihe re¬ cent campaign for office.
From Dec. 3-8, will be the National Membership Week of the Hadassah Or¬ ganization, The aim is to restore Ha- dassah's national membership to its 1929 figure.
The Columbus Chapter, with Mrs. Jule Mark as membership chairman, has al¬ ready launched its membership cam¬ paign. Thirty new members have en¬ rolled so far this year and it is Mrs- Mark's hope to make this year an out¬ standing one in enlisting new and re- enrolling old members.
The following arc assisting Mrs. Mark: Mcsdames Saul Schiff, Sigmund Orn¬ stein, Ben G. Yalman, Sigmund Weiss- kerz, H. Freidcnberg, J. Friedman, M Siegel, M. Brown, Ed. Hyman, Robt Suid and A. Jaffe.
Remember, every Jewish woman has a place in Hadassah. Became a part oi this creative force. We ask you for membership in Hadassah not only be¬ cause our pioneers in Palestine and the nations of the world must know that large numbers of Jews stand back oi the Balfour Declaration but because your own individual lives will be enriched and given meaning through your labor on behalf of an ideal 3,000 years old, trans¬ muted today from the material of dreams to the stuff of reality.—Enroll Now!
A large attendance marked the meet¬ ing of the Columbus Zionist District which took place Tuesday evening, No¬ vember 21Hh, at the Excelsior Club, Rich Street and Parsons Avenue.
