Betrothed
Jacob Kabaker Is
Called by Death
Jacob Kabaker, one of the most
venerable, most learned and most
philanthropoc Orthodox Jews of
Detroit, died early Wednesday
morning at his home, 2499 Edi-
son Ave., at the age of 70. He
had been ill for six months.
Rabbi A. M. Hershman and
Cantor Jacob H. Sonenklar offici-
ated at the funeral service held
Wednesday afternoon from the
late residence of the deceased:
Burial was in Clover Hill Park
cemetery.
Mr. Kabaker came to the United
States 52 years ago from his
birthplace in Poland and settled
in Clinton, Ill., where he was
engaged in the general merchan-
dising business. He came to De-
troit 31 years ago.
A member of Shaarey Zedek
and Beth Tefilo Emanuel Congre-
gations, Mizrachi, the Hebrew
Schools, the Home for Aged, as
well as every important relief
agency in Detroit, ,M•. Kabaker
was one of the most liberal do-
nors to religious institutions in
this country, Eastern Europe and
Palestine.
He is survived by his wife,
Ida M.; three sons, Nathan, Sam-
uel and David; and three daugh-
ters, Mrs. Morris Strelzer, Jean-
ette Kabaker and Mrs. Joseph
Handler, all of Detroit except
Mrs. Strelzer, whose home is in
New York. Four grandchildren
also survive him.
Reported to be in New York
these days is Sir Ernest Oppen-
heimer, South African diamond
tycoon . . . With the Belgian
and Dutch diamond-cutting cen-
ters under Nazi domination Sir
Ernest no doubt would be investi-
gating American possibilities in
this field.

RESETTLEMENT

MRS. S. M. SHORE
A series of books is being pub-
lished under the name of the
"Harry Karp Memorial Library"
in the English language for the
purpose of spreading national re-
ligious literature for the educa-
tion of the Jewish youth. The
program of this library includes
the publishing of the complete
description of the colonies in
Palestine, the biographies of the
heroes in the rebuilding of Pal-
estine, the founders and leaders
of the Zion movement in the past,
and glimpses of the life of the
religious Chalutz in Palestine.
On the occasion of the third
anniversary (21st of Tammuz) -of
the foundation of the colony
Tirath Tsvi, the "Harry Karp
Memorial Library" issued a book
under the name "Jew and Arab
on the Border" (Tirath Tsvi, a
Story of Religious Pioneering).
This book includes a complete
picture and resume of 116 pages
describing the occupations, build-
ings, accomplishments and strug-
gles of the colony from the first
moment of its existence till last
year.
This library is founded by the
Hapoel Hamizrachi of America in
memory of the late Harry Karp.
The business manager of the li-
brary is Aron Bin-Nun.

Mrs. S. M. Shore, president,

dren. Mrs. Ida Schultz is in

and information may be obtained

The report pointed out that
for the first time since the incep-
tion of the National Refugee
Service in June, 1939, there has
been a "slackening though not a
cessation of refugee migration
from Europe to the United
States. Immigration from Ger-
many, Czechoslovakia, Poland and
Hungary during the 10 months
between July, 1939, and May,
1940, dropped 40 per cent un-
der the number of arrivals from
these countries during the same
10 months of the previous year."
The report pointed out, how-
ever, that the drop in arrivals
did not result in a drop in de-
mands for service made upon the
National Refugee Service. On the
contrary, "the very deterrents to
immigration have resulted in
more frequent calls for assist-
ance." June applications for serv-
ice increased 10. per cent over
those for April. Total expendi-
tures for migration, relief, re-
settlement, employment and re-
training services, plus the costs
of several special committees op-
erated to meet the needs of spe-
cial categories of refugees, aver-
aged $306,000 a month.
A special survey of refugees
receiving relief from the agency
during March disclosed that
slightly more than two out of
every three families received re-
lief for three months or less
and that nearly seven out of ev-
ery 10 required no assistance af-
ter six months. About 27 per

states, "under the circumstances,
refugees and all other non-citi-
zens have been the subject of
much speculation, conversation ,
investigation and legislation."
To indicate that the alien prob-
lem in the United States is nei-
ther growing nor extensive, the
report cites Department of Jus-
tice statistics to show that net
immigration between July, 1940,
and April, 1940, was only 54,950.
During the same period for every
alien added to the population 26

American citizens. During the

Federal fiscal year there has
been 15 per cent increas• in
