as an appropriate appraisal of the
potential cultural aspects and
values insofar as they would be
associated with the creation and
existence of institutions under
Jewish auspices. Jewish stirrings
during all times moved Jews to
express themselves in terms of
service and cultural aspirations.
They are not different today from
what they have been in past gen-
erations. Wherever Jews live in
large or small numbers, they find
a common ground and unselfish
motives for serving their fellow-
men and for elevating their own
cultural level and that of their
neighbors. The creation of insti-
tutions is only one of the several
ways in which the say gives free
expression to attaining the ends
of service and cultural growth. It
is, therefore, understandable that
several leaders and groups in De-
troit should desire a hospital.
"The proposed survey will be
largely guided by four principles.
which will limit its scope and in-
dicate its fact-seeking processes.
They will be:

"I. Is the need in hospital service

'1. Is there • need for creating en
Men, to encourage the wider use of
existing health agehries, since many
people are unaware of their existence
and the diameter of their work?

"The survey will particularly
concern itself with the position in
the community of the Jewish phy-
sician and the Jewish interne in re-
lationship to existing hospitals, to
opportunities offered by these ex-
isting hospitals for staff appoint-
ment to enable Jewish physicians
to grow and develop in the progress
of scientific medicine and the in-
vestigation of disease. It will as-
sume that the community and
Jews do not desire to have medio-
cre practitioners of medicine.
"Thus, the opportunities for
staff appointments and the num-
ber and character held by Jewish
Physicians will be analyzed and
studied. From such an analysis
and study, some guidance should
follow to help to summarize the
problem and to reach a conclu-
sion.
"It is not an easy task to ex-
amine a community from a sped-
fic viewpoint in our present-day
changing world where new social
patterns are appearing and new
economic theories are arising. In
such considerations there are Ine-
vitably involved material factors
which relate to the costs of con-
struction of an institution and the
costs of its future maintenance.
In connection with this matter, the
survey might indicate the esti-
mated possible costs of construc-
tion and maintenance of a hospi-
tal in the event it should recom-
mend that one is needed. In the
event it states that one is not
needed, then, of course, these con-
siderations would have no im-
portance,
In the consideration of costa

have some idea of the else of the
hospital. While a larger plan and
Program, say for a 200 bed hos-
pital, could be submitted, the plan
could be so constituted as to per-
mit construction of sections. Thus.
a modest beginning could be made
with a 100 bed hospital and ad-
ditional sections to include more
beds and extension of profession-
al and auxiliary services could be
added from time to time. What-

when he was the second-string
( catcher of the New York Giants.
But his phenomenal back-stopping
and hitting, while he was substi-
tuting for the regular catcher dur-
ing the closing weeks of the pen-
nant race, contributed so much to
the winning of the National
League championship by the
Giants that he became the hero
of New York and a natural for
our 1937 Jewish hall of fame.
Mrs. Epstein, like George Backer,
is hardly a new face in Jewish
circles. but her election to the
presidency of Hadassah entitles
her to inclusion among 1937's
news headliners. The same applies
to Jerome Frank. One of the
original New Deal braintrusters,
he had been out of the news for
several years until he bounced
back to the front page through
his appointment as a member of
the Federal Securities and Ex
change Commission.
The case of ludo!. Gennett af-
fords the most striking inllustra-
ion of a headliner plucked from
t otal obscurity to world-wide fame
by a single deed. Apart from his
family, his comrades in various
veterans organizations and the
people who patronized his news-
stand, !soder Gennett was just
another name in New York's tele-
phone directory. Then this Jewish
war veteran decided to place a
wreath on Germany's monument
to her World War dead in Ber-
lin. And overnight he was front
page news. In a few weeks, how-
ever, perhaps even sooner, he'll
be as forgotten as yesterday's
front page sensation. Robert Gold-

American Hebrew Congregations,
a post which had long been vacant.
Through death to fame might well
be the epitaph of the late Helmuth
Hirsch, the young naturalized
American Jew who was beheaded
by the Nazis on an alleged charge
of espionage. The world had never
heard of Hirsch until the Nazis
arrested him and sentenced him
to die. Even then he might have
died without attracting • ripple
of notice, had it not been dis-
covered that although born in Ger.
many and a resident of Czecho-
slovakia he was an American citi-
zen through his grandfather's na-
turalization. Then the case of Hel-
muth Hirsch became an interna-
tional cause eelebre as the United
States fought vainly to save him.

tion would also arise as to how
these beds should be divided for
private, semi-private and ward ac-
commodations, and among the
several specialties of medicine.
These important questions would
follow after the completion of the
survey, and as stated before, in
the event the survey should rec-
ommend the erection of a new
hospital.
"Under any and all circum-
stances, however. it is important
for all groups to remember that
emphasis would be placed on the
fact that the higheit professional
and administrative standards
would be essential in a hospital
under Jewish auspices. A Jewish
community which cannot have a
hospital with the highest stand-
ards, should have none at all.
"My first visit to Detroit has
been a pleasant one, and highly
informative. I became acquainted
with the general situation. The
survey is now proceeding with the
gathering of facts in the process
of which, it is hoped„ that all
groups in the community will fully
cooperate."
Statement by Engross
Clarence II. Enggass, president
of the Jewish Welfare Federation,
has issued a statement in which
he explains the Federation's in-
terest in the survey as follows:
"The Jewish Welfare Federa-
tion, as the instrument of the
Jewish community in the field of
philanthropy and social work, is
deeply interested in the problems
of organized medical care and re-
lated questions.
"There can be no intelligent,
statesmanlike approach to these
matters without a background of
factual data and knowledge.
"To the end that the commun-
ity may bring wisdom to a con-
sideration of the issues involved,
the Jewish Welfare Federation
has decided to finance a hospital
study.
"Under the general supervision
of the Council of Jewish Federa-
tions and Welfare Funds, Dr. J.
J. Golub, of New York, superin-
tendent of the hospital for Joint
Diseases and noted hospital ad-
ministrator and consultant. has
been engaged as director of the
survey.
"In behalf of the Jewish com-
munity and in cooperation with
physicians and medical organiza-
tions, as well as interested lay
groups, Dr. Golub has set out to
determine the existing situation
and to establish whether there is
a need for hospital facilities un-
der Jewish auspices.
"Complementing his findings on
the special problems of the Jew-
ish community, data of general
community interest on the subject
will be gathered by the Council
of Social Agencies.
"Added to this material will be
a report by the Council of Jewish
Federations and Welfare Funds
on Jewish community resources,
on the relation of any proposed
institution to existing agencies
and services and on the ability to
erect and maintain a medical in-
stitution, if such a step is indi-
cated.
"Whatever recommendations are
made must have the sanction of
the community and it is therefore
being arranged to have the find-
ings presented to a citizen's com-
mittee on which all elements of
the Jewish community will be
represented.
The time has come for com-
munity services to be considered
only with adequate planning and
due regard for the general wel-
fare. The present study is a step
in that direction."
