Dr. Louis M. Levitsky, rabbi of
Temple Israel of Wilkes Barre,
Pa, will be the guest speaker. Dr.
Levitsky's book, "A Jew Looks
at America," has just been is-
sued and has elicited favorable
comment. His articles have ap-
peared in many magazines and he
has lectured in many states on di-
versified topics.
His subject for this meeting

ture Harriet Furmaniak, soprano,

weekly study group led by Mrs.

PIERRE VAN PAASSEN TO ADDRESS
TEMPLE BETH EL MEN'S CLUB FEB. 15

Pierre van Paassen, author of
"Days of Our Years," and famous
foreign correspondent, will speak
here Thursday, Feb. 15, at Tem-
ple Beth El, Woodward at Glad-
stone. His subject will be "The
Crisis in Western Civilization."
He is being brought to Detroit
by the Men's Temple Club Lec-
ture Series. Ben Shwayder is the
chairman of the committee in
charge.
Mr. Van Paassen's memoirs of
his experiences in Europe during
the post-war years and in Africa
and Asia during the past two
decades was a recent Book of
the Month selection, and has been
acclaimed as one of the best-sell-
ing non-fiction books of the year.
He spent the summer and fall
of 1939 in Palestine and the Near
East doing special correspondence
for the North American News-
paper Alliance.
Born in Holland of strict Cal-
vinist parents, he spent his youth
in Canada, and soon after the
outbreak of the World War, left
a theological school to join the
Canadian Army in France. He
was wounded in action and was
decorated several times for bray-

cry.

Mr. van Paassen's reportorial
experiences began on the Toronto
Star after the Armistice and, af-
ter a period of service on various
American papers including the At-

lanta Constitution and the New
York World, he was sent by the
World to Paris. From France he
went to Morocco, Spain, Italy,
Syria, Palestine, Russia, the Bal-
kans and Germany — wherever
there was trouble.
Because of his denunciation of
Jewish persecution and his espou-
sal of the efforts of Jews to cre-
ate a homeland in Palestine, Mr.
van Paassen was voted in 1934
one of the greatest Christian
friends of the Jewish people and
has been made an honorary citi-
zm of the all-Jewish city of
Tel Aviv.
This lecture is open to the pub-
lic. Tickets may be purchased at
50 cents each at Grinnell's, the
Belcrest Hotel and at Temple
Beth El.
In addition to Mr. Shwayder,
the committee in charge includes
Harry C. Markle, Murray Sutkin,
Edward Lichtig, Manuel Arden,
Nathan Schlafer, Irvinb Katz,
Ben Wilk, Robert Sloman, Philip
Nlarcuse and Norman Thal.

Iry Jaffe, former Olympic
speed skating champion, now is
skating instructor at Jennie
Grossinger's in Ferndale, N. Y.
. . . one of the finest in the
land . . . It's there that such per-
sonalities as Barney Ross, Abe
Lyman, Eddie Cantor, Maxie
Baer, etc., spend their holidays.

.Joseph Zwerdling, formerly of
Ann Arbor, has announced his as-
sociation with Albert J. Silber in
the practice of law in this city i
with offices at 540 Buhl Bldg.
Mr. Zwerdling is a graduate of
the University of Michigan Law
School in the class of 1933, with
the degree of Juris Doctor and
served as Legal Research Assist-
ant to Justice Henry M. Butzel
of the Michigan Supreme Court.
He was Assistant Attorney Gen-
eral of Michigan from 1937 to
1939 and has recently served as
Special Attorney in the Anti-
Trust Division of the Department
of Justice in Washington.

Jewish Community Council
Welcomes Reports on
Discrimination

Editor, Detroit Jewish Chronicle:
A recent issue of your paper
carried a letter by H. E. Singer,
entitled, "Regarding Discrimina-
tion," in which the writer raised
the question of what was being
done to combat discrimination in
employment. He stated among
other things, that "some method
must be developed whereby the
Jew will be apprised of those
concerns and individuals that dis-
criminate . . ."
May I call the attention of Mr.
Singer to the fact that for the
past two years the Jewish Com-
munity Council of Detroit, a cen-
tral body composed of 185 affil-
iated groups, has had a func-
tioning committee on discrimina-
tion which investigates and acts
upon complaints which haVe been
brought to its attention.
The office of the Jewish Com-
munity Council is located at 1610
Washington Boulevard Bldg. If
any reader has had occasion to
come into contact with cases of
discrimination, the committee will
be happy to receive this informa-
tion and to give it careful con-
sideration.
Yours very truly,
MYRON A. KEYS,
Chairman, Committee on Dis-
crimination, Jewish Commu-
nity Council.
