COHEN SYNAGOGUE HEAD Internationa] President to Be Featured at Dinner Dance November 6 Hon. Alfred M. Cohen, international president of the B'nai B'rith, -win be guest of honor at a mammoth dinnerdance to be given at the Blackstone hotel on the evening of November 6. According to present plans this event promises to be a feature event in the social calendar of the coming season. It will serve as a dual celebration, welcoming a newly-initiated membership class as a -culmination to the present membership drive and at the same time taking"official cognizance of the election of Sam Beber to the second vice-presidency of the District Grand Lodge. ; Beber's election to this post is exceptional in B'nai B'rith annals in that he is the youngest man to ever hold that post. Hon. Alfred, Cohen, who will deliver a short message, will be the only speaker on the program. The balance of the evening will be spent in a program of entertainment and dancing. According to Vice-President Irvin C. Levin, head of the Intellectual Advancement committee, reservations will be necessarily limited to 200 couples. As it will be impossible to accomodate a larger crowd, the first 200 reservations will be accepted. The charge per couple will be $3.00. Beservations can be made by writing to 301 Electric Building or calling Levin at Atlantic 9840. Next Thursday the local lodge will entertain its members with a special smoker, to be featured with peppy entertainment and a bridge tournament with prizes awarded to the best players. • • .-: . . . •
FIVE SCHOOLS IN GREECE WILL BE B i l l fOR JEWS These to Be Established for Exclusive Use of Jewish Students Salonica.—(J. T. A.) — Five new schools-for-the exclusive use of Jewish students will be established in Salonica by the Greek government, according to a decision reached by the ministry of education following an agreement with the Jewish community. The curriculum of these schools will provide for at least ten hours weekly for the teaching of Hebrew and other Jewish subjects. The teachers to be employed for the specifically Jewish courses will be paid by the government but named and supervised by the Jewish community. The upkeep of these schools is estimated to cost about 2,500,000 drachmas!!. These government Jewish schools will be able to accommodate about 1,600 pupils. These pupils have hitherto been attending the foreign schools, chiefly the Congregational schools, the school of the French Laique Mission and the Italian schools. Children of Greek citizens are now forbidden to attend the elementary classes of these foreign-managed schools . The new legislation prohibiting the children from attending the foreign schools does not apply to the schools operated by the Alliance Israelite uni* versalle, a French organization. These schools will be permitted to function as in the past.
OMAHA MIZRACHI SELECTS OFFICERS \

Officers elected for the group are Samuel Ravitz, president; Abraham Cohen, treasurer, and Elihu Bloch, secretary. Max Venger, retiring president, heads the executive committee. The fifteenth annual convention of the national organization will open in Baltimore Oct. 26, with the Wailing Wall question'the main problem under discussion. .
Jewish "Talkie" Jerusalem.—The Yiddish talking picture, "The Jewish Mother", was presented at a local theatre without any of the unpleasant disturbances that marred the showing of the Yiddish talkie in Tel Aviv last week.
A flood of ind favorable comments has been evoked by the announcement of the prohibition debate between Clarence Darrow and Dr. Clarence True Wilson on October 22 at the City Auditorium. This will be the inaugurating event on the 1930-31 Community Forum program, sponsored jointly by the Jewish Community Center and the Council of Jewish Women.. One correspondent asks, "Is wet propaganda against the eighteenth amendment fair when it advocates law violation ? Can Mr. Darrow for all his brilliance justify the - American citizen in patronizing bootleggers under existing laws, thereby becoming law violators?" Another letter illustrates the attitude of the "neutrals." "I am interested in Mr. Darrow*s substitute for the present situation. Does he favor the return of the saloon, state control, local option or what form of regulation?" A note signed "Wet and Proud" brings this query for Dr. Wilson, "What sort of a nation would this be if we eliminated the influence of

The social Democrats are rumomi to be replacing a number of Jewiufe members of parliament elected «* Socialists by Christians. The Jews are said to be retiring because of old age. Schober himself reported to b* greatly disappointed that his own bloc has been turned into an anti-Semitic affair.
