news ahniit Trans Jordan. Aa this, is heiiig written, it is true, a rciiort has ctiine that the I^inir Aljdiillali has changed hi.s iiu'IkI ahout selling tliat land to llie Jevvs, hut the denial i.s not regarded a.s final, Tlie Kmir will pose tills gesture of turning down Jewi.sh money for awliik—but after the histrionics, he -.vill .still wniit the money -^and he will  sell.
Nor'is tlie iMnh' alone in this attitude, it appears. The Jewish Telegraphic Agency reports that the sheiks fairly generally would like to see ^soihe cold cash.'
And empty land i,s not going to give thcui that.
Thunk the Depression In that historic report written some fifteen years ago by Rohert Szold you will nole the demand for the opening of the TraiLs-Jbrdaii region. Many others sporadically have voiced the same de¬ mand, but none knew how to achieve it. It took old General Depression to bring it' about. When the General came along, the Arali sheiks got down to real¬ ities. An empty pocket sometimes fills the mind.
The opening, if it occur.s, will be good for all concerned. The Arab landowners will get money for their land. The Jews will have ample room for settlement. And even the "poor Arabs" for whom so much crocodile tears are shed, will bene¬ fit, ju.st a.s the Arabs in tbe Cis-Jordan region have profited from the Jewish set¬ tlement.
Tbe opening of the Trans-Jordan re¬ gion, niakcs the settlement of Palestine at least a thoroughly practical proposi¬ tion. No longer.can Palestine he said to be just a laboratory for the Jewish mind, or a little Jewish cultural center to issue books on Scinitics, annotations on the Bible and the like, The new Zioii is to he not merely a mind discovered from the body but a mind and body. A full grown commonwealth.
"Komm'.* a Joke The   fact  that  this  Traii.s-Jordan  de¬ velopment rctiuired a depression for its achicvetncnt   reminds 'hie   of   the   story : Ihey are telling of another land now in
the agonies of metamorphosis—Russia. V An old Je\V in the Soi^et tand was be¬ moaning, so jhe story goes, "that it is a 'verdreihte* world." "One of-my sons," he sighed, works for the Narcomm and . tlie other for the Sovkomm, nnd ich Ich komm uud siftz komm."
Naines Will Hurt You The modern young mother, I am told, no longer feeds her progeny's mind with stories about storks when the youngsters inquire about, the origm of Hie, but in¬ stead relates the actuar biological facts. And it seems now that we shall have to go further and' cancel from the book of childhood one of the most famous, of childhood rhymes, the one that ophies: . "Sticks and stones may break your hones But naines will never hurt you."
Dynamite in Words So it would appear, at least, if Einstein is right. Speaking at Pasadena, this week, the Professor is quoted as having laid* on certain words the onus for much of the tension and disturbance of mod- . ern life,
¦ Said Einstein: "One has only to think . of the word heretic at the time of the Inquisition, of the word Communist for the present daiy American, of- the word boiirt/eois hi'Russh, of the word Jew for the reactionary group in Germany, of the words honor, prestige, fatherland in nearly all the countries of our present . world. The use of such words is adapted for the (^riving out of all reason and the setting up of emotion in its place."
Words, of course, are but names, and Professor Einstein would have it. that these mere names, apart from the tinng itself, by the emotional pictures they beget, hinder the flow of the orderly processes of reason.
A Russian Story
Russia perhaps affords au illustration
of what could be copied and extended in
this connection^ ¦ In the naming of chil-
, dren, at least, Russia is blazing a new
, trail.   And thereby hangs a recent tale.
A loyal Soviet citizen,. it seems, was the father of three children. The oldest was called Lenin. The middle one was called Elcctrifikatzic (electrification) and the infant was named Pi'atiletka (the Five Year Plan).
. Well, one day, one of the little rou- tipe accidents of infatit life occurred, and the father noting it, wanted the eldest child to attend to the infant's needs. So he called to the middle one, who was arouVid: "Electrifikatzie, sog Tvcnin das Ptatiletka hat sicli ungcmacht,"
Perhaps ! should add, that the story was seemingly intended as a satire, of the alleged failure of the realization of some of the Electrification objectives of the Five Year Plan.
They tell it of Judge Rosalsky. That sitting chatting in company with a clergy¬ man, the question arose as to who was more significant—priest or judge.
"Reinember," said the clergyman to the Jwlfic, "that a judge at his most can only hang a i>erson, while the clergyman can damn a person. And when you arc damned, that ineans for eternity."
"Yes," replied Jtidge. Rosalsky, "hut Doctor, when a jndge says, you are to bc hanged, by the Lord Harry, you are hanged."
Titles And one that i^r. Wise told about him¬ self the other <lav at the dinner to Mr. Dciitsch, runs tike this.
It was on Dr. Wise's first visit many years ago, where, among other things, he was to meet the Lord Bishop.
Before the meeting, he explained his embarrassment to Mrs. Montefiore. "You know." he said, "I come from Oregon, (Rahbi Wise's first pulpit was iu .Port¬ land) and out ill the west, we are not (Continued on page 2)

Dr. Leikin was a leader of the Jews ill Russia before the war, during the war, and after the revolution. He was chair¬ man of the Ojiiimittec of Jewish Com- niunitics of all Rns.sja aud Cliicf Rabbi and Governiiient Rabbi for the entire Volga Region iiicludiiig l-'t provinces with I Kazan as his capital. Dr. Leikin had complete civil, religions and .financial jurisdiction over 8()(.i,n(ia Jews living in that area. At one lime lie was one of tlic wealthiest Jews in the Rnssiaii Empire.

Second Annual Hillel Prom
On Saturday/February 4th
At The Armory
The second annual Hillel Prom for the benefit of the Hillel Student Loan fund will he held Saturday evening, Feb. 1th, from 9 to 12 at the Armory on the campus. Bob Arnold and his fourteen IHCce RKO orchestra will play for the affair. Three colored tap dancers and a "blues" singer will present an enter- talnliig floor show at the dance.
Sidney Katz is in charge of tickets which can also bc obtained at Tim's or Hennick's for $1.00 per couple, or from any members of the ticket committee. Patrons from various sections of the city will be present, and it is expectal that the number of non-students will equal¬ ize the number of students present. How¬ ever, no matter what type of crowd, it is a certainty that a good evening's en-i tertaininent is iu store.
John B. Fried is general chairman'of the .iffair, Phil Meyers is handling, (pub¬ licity and Al Fishbein is chairman of the orchestra committee.
- \ regriit to record the passing in Cin¬ cinnati of Leo Wise, son of Rabhi Isaac M. Wise, founder of Reform Judaism ill this country and one of the greatest personalities in the history of the Jews ill America. .
His ilcath followed that of his Wife by- one week, Mr. Wise had been fo^ t)j";ty vca'i-s the editor and publisher of The American Israelite," founded by his di.s- lingnished father. He retired as pub¬ lisher of the "Israelite" five years ago. Under his supervision, the "American Israelite" for many years wicklcd a po¬ tent influence in 7\nierican, Judaism. It was ill every respect the cbief organ, not only of the Uiiiuii of American .Hc- lirew Congregations, but also of the He¬ brew Union (College. Its circulation was far-reaching, covering every state in the Union.
Mr. Wise had. no children. He is sur¬ vived by two brothers. Rabbi Jonah B Wise of the Central Synagogue in New York; Harry Wise of Chattanooga, Tcnn., and three sisters, Mrs. Adolph S. Ochs of New York City; Mrs. Albert May and Mrs. Helen Maloiicy of Cin¬ cinnati.
A report from Ann Arbor informs me that the Ilillel Foundation at the Uni¬ versity of Michigan finds itself in a very critical position for lack of funds with which to carry, on its work. Similar re¬ ports have reached this office pertaining to Hillel Foundations at the various other Universities, among them the Foundation at Ohio State University. A situation f this kind <leinands immediate action on the part of communal leadcr.s. We dare not endanger the future growth and development of an institution that has already, been productive of much real good^'
With regard to the Foundation at Ohio State, I would suggest that we no longer depend on the National Cpmihission for its financial support. Work being done on our campus here in Columbus, should be financed by the Jewish i^eoplc of the .state of Ohio, even as! work on the cam¬ pus of the University of Michigan should be financed by die Jewish people of that slate.
It seems to ine that when the rank and iile of our' people throughout the various states wliere Hillel Foundations are lo¬ cated-will be. duly informed regarding the program and the activities of- Hillel, they will respond beautifully in. spite of the depression.    I am glail to note that
commiltee liu*i alveady becii formed lo take care of the situation with which the 0. S. U. Hillel is confronted. With the co-operation of such men as Edwin J. Schanfar.ber, Leon J. Goodman, Dr. E. J. Gordon, Rabbi Samuel M, Gup, Rabbi James G. Heller,, Rabbi Barnett, R. Brickner, and Alfred A. Benesch, there should he no difficulty in securing suffi¬ cient, funds to defray the expense of operating the local Foundation for the next two or three, years.

Some of the foremost figures in the American Jewish life took part in the National Conference held in New York recently to launch the 1933 American Palestine Campaign for the Keren Haye¬ sod budget in co-operation with Hadas¬ sah, At this conference the plight of European Jewry was contrasted with the bright prospects for Jews in Palestine. American Jewry was urged to provide the funds to make possible a larger im¬ migration from Europe to Palestine. Rabbi Samuel Schulman, o'f Temple Emanuel, New York,.among other things made the following statement at the con¬ ference:
"As a non-Zionist member of the Coun¬ cil, of the Jewish. Agency for Palestine, I consider It a privilege to urge all Jews to contribute'to the success of the effort we are making on behalf of the Jewish settlement in Palestine. It seems to mc that in this crisis for the Jew all over the .world jt would be self-evident that it is the duty of every Jew to do what he can and even to make a sacrifice which he feels in order to help his suffering Jewish brethren in every possible way.
"Considering what few countries there are left to which the Jew could go as an immigrant, I believe that Palestine under the mandate offers a great opportunity for the Jew. We have our problems there, it is true. And I believe that these .problems will be solved in a spirit of justice and amity and good will and co¬ operation with the Arab Inhabitants of Palestine.
"Palestine can inake good use of the intelligence, the energy, the thrift, the business ability, and the idealism of the Jew, and it is on this ground that I think Ihat every Anierican Jew whether he believes in the Zionistie philosophy or not—and you know I do not—should help this effort,"
Among those who are active in laying plans for the 1933 American Palestine campaign are Dr. Stephen S. Wise, ,Judge Julian W, Mack, Mrs, Rose Halperin, Morris Rotheuberg, Judge William M. Lewis, Rabbi Samuel Schulman, Felix M. Warburg, Rev. Z. H, Masliansky, Dr. Cyrus Adler, and' Louis Lipsky.
