keeping our own municipal spend-
ing within reason, can we offset
the extra burden of federal taxa-
tion which all of us must bear to
meet the situation, as well as
the present emergency," Mr. True
states. "As to present problems,
I favor continued expansion of
the DSR bus service ; I believe
that we should provide adequate
school, fire and police facilities
to rapidly expanding areas, the
costs to be largely offset by the
additional tax revenue which
those areas provide ; I believe in
the immediate solution of our air-
port problem, either by vote of
the people or by direct Council
action ; and I favor encourage-
ment of capital and labor to
tackle the housing problem, ra-
ther than the construction of
these projects by the city."
"To Insure Honest and Efficient
Government, Elect Honest and
Qualified Public Officials" - - -

September 15, 1941
says about
Editor, Detroit Jewish Chronicle:
Josephine
Gomon
Candidate for the
COUNCIL
and then don't fail
TO VOTE NEXT
TUESDAY FOR
GOMON, Josephine
The shocking conditions of corruption and
graft in local government, uncovered by the
Grand Jury investigations, bring home to every
public-spirited citizen the necessity of electing
honest and qualified public officials to insure
honest and efficient government. Nothing must
stand in the way of each of us doing his duty
to prevent a repetition of the recent scandals
which have injured the reputation of Detroit.
With this in mind I have urged Josephine
Gomon to become a candidate for the Common
Council and have joined with others in filing
her petition.
Josephine Gomon is well qualified. She has
a knowledge and understanding of municipal
government. During the crucial years of the
depression, she was Executive Secretary to my
brother, Mayor Frank Murphy, and secretary to
the Mayor's Unemployment Committee. She
was the only woman ever to be appointed ex-
ecutive secretary in Detroit. In that position
she took an active part in the initiation and
execution of liberal policies inaugurated ,by
Frank and later taken over in whole or in part
by the Federal Government in dealing with
the national emergency.
Josephine Gomon has always been known for
her liberal convictions. She has worked for the
rights of all minority groups and for the right
of labor to organize and receive equitable re-
turns and recognition. She will represent all the
people without favoritism or bias.
Sincerely,
This advertisement inserted and paid for by o
group of civic-minded Jewish people
interested in good government.

land 3,000 managed to escape to
Lithuania. They were supported
by the Joint Distribution Commit-
tee, which provided half the ne-
cessary funds, and with the
monies collected for Yeshivoth.
Six hundred of these refugees
have been transferred to Shang-
hai, by a long-way route, and in
spite of the misery suffered by
them they continue their studies
and refuse to abandon hope of
redemption.
When they came to Shanghai
they became part of an army of
homeless totalling 1,700 who had
to suffer privations and starva-
tion and who must survive on
five cents a day—the maximum
that can be allowed from avail-
able relief funds. Still, the studies
of the Yeshivah students con-
tinue, even though they not only
'are subjected to privations but
also to the constant fears of de-
portation.
Of the total number of rab-
binical students in Shanghai,
most of whom first had to trav-
erse half the distance of the
world by way of Japan, 120 came
to the United States and 60 to
Palestine. Last Thursday 29
more came to Canada and two
to the United States. A crowd
of, 6,000 welcomed the two who
came to this country, in Chicago,
and their plea was that they are
now saved and that the others
must be rescued.
Rabbi Katzman pointed out
that 45 more visas are available
for Canada, and that it is hoped
that some of the refugees may
be able to go to Austrialia and
the Phillipines, provided the ne-
cessary funds are raised.
To provide relief for those
now in Shanghai and to save as
many of them as possible, it is
urged that contributions be sent
either to Rabbi M. J. Wohlge-
lernter or to Congregatia Shaa-
rey Zedek. Of the $2,300 raised
thus far in Detroit, $1,500 came
from Shaarey Zedek.
Rabbi Katzman had a pulpit
