Mahoney, in a statement this week, traced the shortage to anti-Nazi sentiment in this country. The appeal for funds was made after the Olympic committee was forced, in an unprecedented action, to cut several of its teams and cancel reservations for 40 staterooms on the Manhattan, which will carry the American team t6 Berlin next Wednesday. The axe fell on the women's track and field team, the fencing squad, the men's field hockey team and other units. Many athletes were obliged to pay their own fare.

The Olympic committee worked under the policy that each team had to be self-supporting.

The ad asks: "Will America alone of 53 hi PLAN DRAMATIC CHORUS AT THE JEWISH CENTER Discontinue Open Forum Series in Fall Program; Arrange Co-operative Plan with Milwaukee Open Forum Group Summer doldrums may have slackened activity at the Center somewhat, but that does not mean that there has been a lessening of planning for the coming season. First among the new features contemplated for the fall program is a dramatic chorus under the direction of Ben Pollack, the musical director who was so successful with the folklore revue.

Rehearsals will begin Oct. 7 and continue thereafter every Wednesday evening. Included in the proposed program will be Hebrew, Yiddish and English songs, and it is planned that several concerts will be given after the group has had sufficient training. The chorus will be open free to members; a nominal charge will be made to non-members. Abandon Open Forum One of the major changes in Center policy will be the discontinuance of the open forum lectures.

His wife, Avis Clamitz Shulman, who is also well known as a writer and lecturer, will deliver a series of lectures on current trends in literature. Dr.

Fear Weakening of Morale Major Henry Proctor, member of the British Parliament, declared in an address that the great danger to Zionism was not on the British or the Palestine front but on the American front. "The Arabs will not succeed in London or in Palestine, but there is danger they will succeed in weakening the morale of the American Zionists," he said.

He declared that Great Britain was wholeheartedly behind the Zionist effort in Palestine, stressing that never before had he seen such unanimity in parliament as during the recent debate on the Palestine situation. Other resolutions adopted: Exhorting Great Britain to "adhere to that spirit of good will and that desire for historic reparation to the Jewish people which animated the issuance of the Balfour Declaration."
