Publication of Rabbi
of his incisive understanding of
Jewish problems and history, will
appreciate that the manuscript in
question must prove of incalcu-

Above all the editing of this

I anticipate the privilege and
pleasure of being of service in
this matter.

RTIG TO SPEAK
HERE THIS SUNDAY
The conference of the Detroit
section of the American Jewish
Congress held Sunday afternoon,
at the Bnai Moshe, decided to lend
its wholehearted support to the
efforts of the Civil Rights Feder-
ation which is sponsoring an anti-
Nazi demonstration on Tuesday
evening, Jan. 25, on the occasion
of the fifth anniversary of Adolf
Hitler's rise to power in Ger-
many.
It was also announced at the
conference that the League for
Human Rights is participating in
this demonstration for democracy.
Church, civic and labor leaders
will address the meeting.
The committee representing the
Jewish Congress on the committee
which is planning this demonstra-
tion consists of Elconan H. Saul-
son, chairman, Joseph Haggai
and Maxwell L. Black.
Maldwin Fertig, eminent
Jewish leader and a prominen
political figure in New York, who
was in Detroit Sunday to address
the fourth anniversary celebra
tion of the Jewish Communal
Center, attended the Congres
conference and addressed the
delegates. Mr. Fertig made
plea for increased efforts in be
half of the Congress. He state(
that as chairman of the commit

gross he is now preparing a plat
for the movement's expansioi
and for popular democratic elec

As a member of the administra

people, because the Congress i

Speaking of the forthcomin
democratic elections, Mr. Ferti
expressed the hope that ever
point of view in Jewry will b
represented in the Congress. Ar
swering numerous questions phi(
ed to him by the representative
of organizations, Mr. Ferti

with a view to correcting a policy
which admits Jews to the sales

ardless of their qualifications. In

a change in the employment pol-
icy of an important department
store where Jewish applicants
were excluded from employment
by a system which gave inter-
views to applicants on Jewish holi-
days. Investigation established
that the store's owners were un-
aware of this practice and insti-
tuted prompt action to have it
discontinued. The commission
also reports it has established re-
lations with 102 private employ-
ment agencies licensed by New
York City in connection with
charges of fostering a policy of
rejecting Jewish applicants. .
Simultaneously with the publi-
cation of the report. the congress
announced a nation-wide program
to deal with this problem and
plans to set up bureaus to deal
with economic discrimination
against Jews in leading cities
throughout the country where the
congress has branches. The pro-
gram includes a study of the ex-
isting statutes prohibiting certain
types of discrimination with a
view to applying them to local
situations, the elimination of in-
quiries as to race rind faith from
employment blanks, the develop-
ment of a program of legislative
correction of employment agency
abuses, the ending of circula-
tion of false rumors of discrimi-
nation directed against non-dis-
criminating employers, and the
formation of advisory councils of
non-Jews for the purpose of co-
