H.
Representative Robert
Clancy expressed opposition to
the registration bills in the fol-
lowing statement to The Detroit
Jewish Chronicle.
"I am against the proposed
alien registration bill and will
do everything in my power to
prevent its passage. It is one
more method of espionage and
is based on a Russian system. It
is nothing more than a form of
spying on residents and citizens.
In the attempt to enforce pro-
hibition laws there has already
been too much interference in
the United States with the per-
sonal liberties and individual
rights of people. You may be
sure that I am unalterably op-
posed to this legislation which
sets the immigrant apart to be
especially number e it and

mind are un-American and
should not be tolerated."

have proposed the formation of a
secret council of Jews and Arabs
with four representatives of each

Arabs and Jews in Palestine to
give their opinion regarding the
proposal. It may require some
modification but it would be crimi-

The paper then goes on to say
that "in the present unfortunate

The Felestin suggests that con-

FEDERATION'S SUCCESS
REVIEWED BY WINEMAN
President Calls Organization
Cross Section of De-
troit Jewry.
The Jewish Welfare Federation
of Detroit, at its third annual
meeting held Sunday afternoon at
the Phoenix Club, heard reports
from its 11 constituent agencies
which reported on activities of the
past year and elected directors.
The reports heard revealed un-
precedented activity and pointed
to the perfection of one of the
finest federations in the country.
Speaking on "Detroit Federa-
tion's l'ast and Future," llenry
Wineman, president of the federa-
tion, who was chairman of the
meeting, in the principal address of
the afternoon described the growth
of the Detroit organization and its
agencies, and said it already serves
as a cross section of Detroit Jewry.
Mr. Wineman's address appears in
full in another column on this

1929 drive, of which $88,591 has

ent agencies. Mra. Edwin M.
Rosenthal, presiding over the meet-
ing of the Fresh Air Society, re-
ported that 1,022 children were
