Hadassah.
Once again the depression and
its attendant cry of despair was
defied, when approximately 500
women gathered at the fifth an-
nual donor luncheon last Tuesday,
at the Book-Cadillac Hotel, each
having given or raised $20 to help
swell a sum of close to $10,000
as Detroit womanhood's gift to
Palestine's health fund.
The program opened with the
singing of "Auf Nach Zion" by
Russell Silver, who was followed
by the Chalutz Chorus singing
"Toy Lichyos." The Invocation

Mrs. Halprin, whose address
thrilled the enthusiastic Hadassah

which she had the opportunity to
observe the viciousness of anti-

Palestine Offers Solution.
In Palestine, Mrs. Ilalprin
stated, "where the Jew can create
for himself," lies the solution to
the problem. She told of the de-

she herself had a chance to ob-
serve during her stay in Palestine.
In spite of hardships, she pointed
out, nothing matters to the sturdy
Chalutzim, except their new life
as Jews.
"We ask you to revitalize your

declared. Describing the manner

A Chanukah Hymn by the Late Rabbi
Gustav Gottheil (1827-1903).

Rock of Ages, let our song
Praise Thy saving power;
Thou, amidst the raging foes,
West our shellting tower.
Furious they lissailed us,
But Thine arm availed us;
And Thy word
Broke their sword,
When our own strength failed us.

Kindling new the holy lamps,
Priests approved in suffering
Purified the nation's shrine,
Brought to God their offering
And, His courts surrounding,
Hear, in joy abounding,
Happy throngs
Singing songs,
With a mighty sounding.

THE LEGAL CHRONICLE

DETROIT, MICHIGAN, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 23, 1932

Grant Permanent Injunction
Against Measure
Adopted in 1931.

A decree granting a permanent
injunction against the enforce-
ment of the Michigan alien regis-
tration bill was signed Monday
morning by Judge Charles C.
Simons of the United States Cir-
cuit Court of Appeals and the
Federal District Judges Ernest A.
O'Brien and Edward J. Moinet.
Sitting in special session, the
three judges granted the request
for this decree made by Theodore
Levin and Attorney General-elect
Patrick II. O'Brien, who headed
the corps of counsel who fought
against the bill after it was passed
by the Michigan Legislature, and
signed by Governor Wilber M.
Brucker, in 1931. Levin and
O'Brien had as assisting counsel
Fred M. Butzel of Detroit and
Max J. Kohler of New York.
Plea by O'Brien.
The request presented to the
three federal judges by Levin and
O'Brien was for speedy action in
dispensing with the measure, on
the ground that in the event the
case should come up again during
O'Brien's administration as attor-
ney general, he would be placed in
the anamalous position of defend-
ing a measure he opposed before
he assumed public office.
The alien registration act
would have required all persons
not born in the United States to
be registered, photographed, fin-
gerprinted, etc., under a heavy
penalty. It was also made a crime
for employers to have in their
employ unregistered aliens. The
bill was rushed through the Legis-
lature with the utmost secrecy,
and the general public was not
aware of what had transpired un-
til the act was ready for the Gov-
ernor's signature, when a strong
protest was made to him.
Rubiner's Minority Brief.
Judge Charles Rubiner of De-
troit, then an assistant attorney-
general, was among those who took
up the cudgel against the proposed
law. He prepared a 22-page
opinion, in which he advised the
Governor that the act was uncon-
stitutlonol in many respects. Judge
Rubiner's opinion was disregarded,
however, and the bill was signed
by the Governor. Judge Rubiner,
who was the only official in Lan-
sing who actively opposed the bill,
was later appointed a Judge of
the Common Pleas Court of De-
troit.
