THE WEEK IN REVIEW

GERMANY:
The all German Jewish Repro-
sentative Body submitted a lengthy
memorandum to every member of
the Nazi cabinet including Adolf
Hitler describing in detail anti-
Jewish propaganda in the press
and in public speeches, the anti-
Jewish boycott and discriminations
and the ruin that has overtaken
German Jewry. The memorandum
asked the Nazi government to clar-
ify the status of the Jews under
the present regime and that the
government punish provincial Nazi
chiefs who were ignoring the order
of the government not to discrim-
inate against the Jews.
A definite splint has taken place
between the Reich government and
the provincial Nazi chiefs over the
question of toleration for the Jews

More than a thousand volunteer
actors are expected to participate
in the first rehearsal for the pa-
geant "The Romance of a People"
at Central High School Auditor-
ium next Wednesday evening,
Feb. 7, beginning at 7:30 o'clock.

gars with the opening of offices on in industry. Early this week the

THE LEGAL CHRONICLE

The first rehearsal was arranged
following a conference of repre-
sentatives of local organizations
held on Thursday evening at the
Statler Hotel.
' At this conference, a pledge
for wholehearted co-operation was
given by spokesmen for groups
numbering a membership exceed-
ing 6,000.
Great encouragement was given
the preliminary pageant commit-
tee at a luncheon on Wednesday
at Hotel Stotler, which was at-
tended by editors and spokesmen
for the editors of the three metro-
politan dailies — Detroit Free
Press, Detroit News and Detroit
_ Times. The pledge of co-opera-
'ion oirthe part of these
papers was repeated at this lunch-
eon which was presided over by
Mr. Weisgal.
"The Romance of a People,"
acclaimed as the greatest spec-
tacle ever staged in this country,
is to be shown in Philadelphia
within two weeks, with a cast of
2,500. The Ledgers of Philadel-
phia are sponsoring the pageant in
that city.
On March 10, the staging of
the pageant will commence in
Cleveland, also with a cast of
2,500, under the sponsorship of
the three Cleveland daily news-
papers.

I orders to provincial Nazi leaders to
ignore the orders of the govern-
ment and to carry on their boy-
cott of Jewish business ... Efforts
made by Jewish organizations to
train Jewish youth in new profes-
sions and trades suffered a severe
setback when provincial Nazi lead-
ers acting on orders from Munich
forbade artisans including Jews to
accept Jewish apprentices or to em-
ploy Jews. The artisans chamber,
in which the government has little
influence, is carrying on a cam-
paign against the Jews and de-
liberately ignoring the orders of
the government not to discriminate
against the Jews in this field . . .
Even in the ranks of the Nazi lead-
ers there is a disagreement on the
treatment of the Jews, Wilhelm
Rube, former leader of the Nazi
faction in the Prussian Diet, sharp-
ly attacked Minister of Economics
Schmitt and declared that the Jews
must be completely eliminated from
German life and reduced to the sta-
tus of aliens. lie declared that the

propaganda service for "Aryans

ganizations .. . Nazi Commissar
of Justice Fie,* blamed the Jew-
ish lawyers for the bad economic
plight of German lawyers. Jew-
ish lawyers corrupted German
justice, he said. The commis-
sar said that Roman law was
so complicated that only the Jew-
ish lawyers understood it ... Der

35TH ANNIVERSARY
SERMON PREACHED
BY DR. FRANKI LN

More than 400 fathers and sons
are expected to gather at the an-
nual father and son observance to
be sponsored by the Men's Club
of Congregation Shaarey Zedek,
on Thursday evening, Feb. 8, at 6
o'clock.
A committee consisting of Hee-
man A. August, chairman, Frank
Wetaman, Moe Prince and Saul
Saulson has arranged a program
consisting of short films to enter-
tain the young and old alike, magic
stunts by a well known profes-
sional entertainer, and a surprise
act, the details of which will not
be divulged until the evening of
the banquet.
Following a welcome address
by Arthur S. Purdy, president of
the Men's Club, there will be only
two talks, one by a father and one
by a son. Dr. Samuel J. Eder
has been chosen to represent the
fathers, and his son, Gerald J.
Eder, who has displayed his ver•
satility as a youthful entertainer,
will respond on behalf of the sons.
It is planned to start the festivi-
ties promptly at 6 o'clock, in order
to permit • closing of the affair
at an early hour. There will be
a special period for "socializing"
between the various fathers and
sons, as well as games, songs and
contests, all looking towards a
development of comradeship be-
tween the old and the young.
Special prizes are to be given for
the oldest father, the youngest
son, and the largest family group
present. A specially catered meal
Is being arranged. To do away
with disappointments such as were
suffered last year by many who

a real victory to record in Detroit
this year," declared A. I. Lipson,
vice-president of the Detroit drive
for the Organized Jewish Work-
ers in Palestine. Mr. Lipson, who
is president of the Domestic Linen
Supply Co , himself has had an
interesting career which
was
closely bound up with labor Pal-
estine. Before the World War,
following the historic Second Ali-
yah during which the foundations
of the modern Palestine labor
movement were laid, Mr. Lipson
was a worker in Palestine, lived
and toiled in the various workers'
communities of that day. Many of
the contemporary Palestine labor
leaders were among his associates.
The campaign's success in De-
troit this year has been unequalled.

achievements of the preliminary
drive for funds, the active partici-
