move the transmitter. The commis
sion said information on the propos
ed transmitter site was Incomplete.
Confusion In the description of
two proposed new locations for ra

cation of its transmitter.
Under he new set-up, which Read

the lnter-county railroad bridge at
the foot of Union street, and the

Ask Jews for
$100,000,000
Washington, Nov. 21 (U.R) Jewish
leaders called upon American Jewry
today to levy upon itself a "volun
tary fine" of $100,000,000 for re
settlement of Jews being persecuted
In Germany.
The proposal was made by Rabbi
Edward L. Israel of Baltimore at a
one-day emergency conference of
the seaboard region of the united
Palestine appeal. He suggested that
the $100,000,000 would contrast the
$400,000,000 "stolen from the Jews
of Germany by the nazi regime," and
would create opportunities for Jews
"now languishing In a no-mans
land In central Europe."
The conference climaxed a week
end of concern for oppressed min
orities. Sen. King, D., Utah, speaking
at the Palestine conference yester
day, denounced the "sadistic'' anti-
Semitic policy of Germany and
urged the United States and Great
Britain Jointly to promote mass set
tlement of Jewish refugees in Pales
tine.
Another suggestion for solution of
the problem vame from Chairman
