DODGE as the Detroit Savings Fund In- stitute, was first headed by Elon Farnsworth, first Chancellor of the State of Michigan. The in- stitution later became known as the Detroit Savings Bank and its present name, the Detroit Bank, was adopted Jan. 1, 1936. During the period of the bank's operation Detroit has grown from a city of 19,000 to a city of one and a half millions. During this same period the bank's depositors have grown :earn a handful to more than 215,- 000 and the bank has gained a position as one of the most im- portant in the country. It is now the 44th largest in the United States and one of the hundred largest banks in the English- speaking world. With main offices at the corner of Griswold and State Sts, the bank has, in addition to its main office, 29 branches throughout the city and employs more than 600 people. During its history The' Detroit Bank has achieved an unusual record in weathering every major economic crisis the country has undergone in nearly a century. Detroiters well remember when in 1933 it was for several days the only bank in Detroit able to furn- ish depositor services and banking credit. According to President Joseph M. Dodge, the bank has adhered consistently to the con- servative principles of operation established by the founders. Among the present directors and officers are several descendants of the early directors and officers of the Detroit Savings Fund Insti- tute. )- Representative Martin Dies, chair- man of, the revived House Com- mittee investigating un-American activities, announced that the peo- ple "may rent assured that such disgraceful demonstrations as the recent Bund meeting in New York is being fully and completely investigated. "The German-Amer- ican Bund, the Silver Shirts and every Nazi and Fiscist organiza- tion are being investigated by a special group of trained men. Dur- ing the first six months of its in- vestigation the committee looked into the activities of the German- American Bund and other organi- zations charged with spreading racial and religious hatred." German-American Nazis and other political groups would be forbidden to wear uniforms if Congress approves a bill intro- duced by Representative Joseph A. Gavagan of New York. Ex- plaining the purpose of the meas- ure, Gavagan said that the per- formance of the Nazis at a recent meeting in New York was a "dis- grace" to the United States. Representative Hamilton Fish of New York said he had been assured his bill to prohibit the formation and activities of pri- vate military organizations would be given a hearing by the House Military Committee. Proud to Receive Award, Says President, Accepting Amer'. can Hebrew Medal WASHINGTON. (WNS)—Pres- entation of the American Hebrew Medal, given annually by the American Hebrew Magazine to the American citizen performing outstanding service in the promo- tion of better understanding be- tween Christians and Jews, was made to President Roosevelt by Gen. Hugh S. Johnson in behalf of the committee of award `com- posed of Jews, Catholics and Prot- estants. Accepting the medal, the President said he was proud to receive the award and hailed the Old Testament as the common source of inspiration for Ameri- cans of all creeds. "Jews, Catho- lics and Protestants had no hesi- tation in making this award," said Gen. Johnson. "which repre- sents their conviction that you have done more than any Turin to reconcile the differences of these separate faiths to universal brotherhood in the fear and love of God."

The new dean is small and slim but with features that never fail to arrest attention for the intelligence and sympathetic pen- etration they reveal. They explain perhaps how along with a full- time political career she was able to carry on as director of the Bureau for Social Policy, profes- sor of economics at the Beruf- spaedagegisehe Institut in Berlin, and as editor of Sozial l'raxls, the only German social-political weekly—its range included social policy, housing, labor labor legis- lation, social work, etc. Nor were her activities con- fined to Berlin and Germany. As general secretary of the German branch of the International As- sociation for Social Progress, it was part of her function to pre- pare the German reports on un- employment insurance and other social issues for the international meetings, with a view to compara- tive studies and further legisla- tion in other European countries. She was also a member of the Committee on Women's Work of the International Labor Office. In her writing on economic and sociological subjects, Dr. Wunder- lich's chief contribution to the literature of these fields was the volume "Productivity" which, ac- cording to the reviews and pro- fessionally authoritative comments of the time, was comparable only to similar works by the Webba. Sonia of her American publica- tions have dealt with "Iteguin- tion of Labor Conflicts," a chap- ter in the collective volume by the Graduate Faculty on "Political and Economic Democracy"; "Ger- many's Defense Economy and the Decay of Capitalism," recently published in the Journal of Eco- nomics; an article on the status of women under Nazism, origi- sally written for the American Scholar and reprinted in Reader's Digest; and "Labor in War Time," a chapter in the Faculty's second collective work, "War in Our Times," to be published in March by W.

Butzel, Mrs. Harry S. Grant, Mrs. Sol E. Heineman, honorary vice chairmen; Mrs. Grover C. Wolf and Mrs. Samuel R. Men- delsohn, who will act as secre- taries of Division A, which is headed by Mrs. Harold C. Allen. Added to the list of captains in Division A are Mesdames Joseph B. Gaylord, Louis A. Sherwin and Morey L. Abrahams. Mrs. Ben Mossman and Mrs. Jacob Ilarvith will serve as cap- tains in Division C, headed by Mrs. Douglas I. Brown. Mesdames J. Meyer Berri:, Jacob S. Sauls, Robert S. Striefling, Meyer L. Goldstein, and Ruth Watnick have been enlisted as captains in Divi- sion D, under Mrs. Maurice J. Caplan, who has appointed Mrs. Harry Wetsman as secretary. Mrs. Seymour J.

Mrs. Welt has invited the offi- cers, members of the advisory board, division chairmen, captains, secretaries and the committee chairmen for the Women's Pro- ject to tea at her home on Bos- ton Blvd., Monday , March 13, at 4 o'clock. The devision chair- men will receive their slips at this time and the occasion will afford them an opportunity to outline their plans and the mechanical details of the drive to their cap- tains, who, in turn, will detail them to their workers at indi- vidual division meetings, sched- uled for the coming week. Report meetings for workers in the Women's Project will be held each Tuesday and Friday morn- ing, beginning March 21. until the completion of the drive on April 1. ity, speakers' bureau, campaign planning, social, membership, and other groups. Because many members of the Junior Section possess ability, but lack experience in campaign activ- it y, the campaign leaders have evolved a plan whereby they may learn the fundamentals of cam- paign technique. The plan pro- vides for the appointment of a co- chairman to work with each exper- ienced division chairman. Most of the division chairmen are Juniors who participated as team captains in last year's campaign and whose experience and ability in executive capacities have brought them to the fore this year. Co-chairmen will include members of the Jun- ior Section Board of Directors and others active in communal work. To date the Campaign Planning group has collected a comprehen- sive list of over 8,000 persons within the age limits of 16 to 30 to be contacted in the campaign. In addition to their interest in the spring drive, the Junior Sec- tion is arranging an afternoon dace and social hour to follow the next general meeting on March 26 to be held at Congregation Shaarey Zedek. Two one-act plays will be presented by the drama- tics group and refreshments will be furnished by members of the social committee. Begin Solicitations Among Organisations Activities have already begun for solicitations for the Allied Jewish Campaign among organi- zations. At a meeting of the ad- visory council on organizations held Sunday morning at the Jew- ish Home for the Aged, Isidore Sobeloff, executive director of the Jewish Welfare, analyzed the campaign quota to show that the all-inclusiveness of the 1939 Allied Jewish Campaign goal of ;790,000 makes it imperative that a substantial increase be made both in individual gifts and in or- ganizational pledges. Mrs. Maurice Klein. chairman of the Women's Committee on Organizational Pledges, and her co-chairman, Mrs. Isaac Gilbert, are organizing a committee to solicit women's organizations for their group contributions. Mrs. Klein stated: "Because of the tragic plight of our brethren overseas, and because of the im- mensity and all inclusiveness of the Allied Jeivish Campaign, wom- en's organizations will be called upon this year to make heroic sacrifices and to contribute large organizational pledges to the hu- manitarian drive, in addition to the contributions made by the women as individuals." Mrs. Samuel Blacher, president of the Neugarten Sunshine Club, reported that her organization has already decided on its group con tribution to the 1939 Allied Jew ish Campaign. "Through the cb operation of its members, the Neugarten Sunshine Club in creased its pledge by 150 per cent," Mrs. Blacher said. The Zedakah Club announces I it has decided on a 100 per cent increase in their organizational contribution to the 1939 Allied Jewish Campaign. Rabbi Isaac Stollman has ac cepted the chairmanship of the synagogue committee. The first meeting of this committee was held on Tuesday evening at the home of Rabbi Stollman, and plans were made for the active participation of synagogues in the forthcoming campaign. Rabbi Stollman, in accepting the chair- manship, stated: "Millions of our brethren overseas are starving victims of perseculion, pogromii and utter destitution. In order to reach our goal this year, organi- zations, congregations and indi- viduals will have to make con- tributions proportionate to the acuteness of the crisis."
