Commenting on the Jewish Theater Guild, Iames I. Ellmann, president of the Jewish Commu- nity Council, stated, "As this undertaking is a communal endea- vor and not for the personal profit of any individual, the Council is happy to endorse this project and to urge the support of all per- sons in the Jewish community who are interested in the formation and development of the Jewish Theater Guild of Detroit." "A true art theater," remarked Aaron Rosenberg-, chairman of the education committee of the Coun- cil, "is the medium for expressing the culture of a people in such a manner that everyone can under- stand, appreciate and learn from its presentations. Our Jewish cul- tu•al heritage is so rich that every person interested feels the need for such a theater. This is the reason why the Jewish Thea- ter Guild is striking a responsive chord with every group in our population. The community needs the theater. The theater needs the community. The Jewish Commun- ity Council recognizes the Jewish Theater Guild as the means for satisfying this need most effect- ively."

Mr. Grossman, who with the late Vladimir Jabotinsky, was in the forefront of the fight to create the Jewish Legions in the last war, and thus set a prece- dent for a Jewish Army in this one, explained the program and the platform of the committee. He emphasized that the commit- tee is non-sectarian and non- partisan. He explained that the committee, headed by Pierre van Paassen is an independent or- ganization operating without the Zionist frame work, and how im- portant it is for Zionism.

(WNS)—Nazi Prop- aganda Minister Joseph Goeb- bels warned this week that Ger- many would carry out a mass "extermination of Jews" in re- prisal for the devastating Allied air bombings of German cities. Goebbels blamed the recent raids, in which the R.A.F. used more than 1,000 bombers, on the blood-thirsty "Jewish press" of London and New York. The chief Nazi propagandist, admitting that the B.A.F. had inflicted, great damage on Ger- man cities, issued his warning at a time when Germany is in deadly fear of the expected British-American air raids.
