John A. Smith, young, aggres-
sive, liberal candidate for the of-
fice of Councilman upon being
interviewed by numerous Jewish
leaders stated emphatically that
if elected he would continue to
fight unabatedly any and all
forms of intolerance and bigotry.
Because of his belief in the
freedom of the press, religion and
tolerance towards all races and
creeds, Smith stoutly maintained
that he would never tolerate any
infringement of the inalienable
heritages of suffrage.
Mr. Smith who has been a
resident of the city of Detroit for
the past 25 years, attended Wayne
University and the Detroit College
of Law. Because of his keen
analytical mind and astute lead-
ership Smith was promoted to
chief assistant in the City Elec-
tion Commission, where he con-
scientiously and ably served the
public for the past 14 years.
During this time, numerous im-
provements were instituted thru
his efforts, which resulted in the
saving of thousands of dollars to
the taxpayers as well as decided
improvement in the quality and
efficiency of the election machin-
ery.
Upon being asked what meas-
ures he intended introducing,
Smith listed a number of improve-
ments including, adequate hous-

Michigan Citizen's Council Urges
Re-Election of Brown and Van Wagoner
The Michigan Citizen's Council
under the chairmanship of Ben-
jamin Levinson asks the voters of
the city of Detroit, county of
1Vayne and state of Michigan to
vote for Senator Prentiss M.
Brown and Governor Murray D.
Van Wagoner.
The Council does this with the
Otto E. Wendel, Jr.
Offers Broad Platform
Otto E. Wendel, Jr., is seek-
ing nom'nation on the Democratic
ticket for state representative in
the First District of Wayne
County, and in support of his
candidacy submits the following
platform:
1. Fair play to all. A square
deal for Detroit, Wayne county,
and the entire state of Michigan
without forgetting the national
interest.
2. Vigorous protest against dis-
crimination against the interests
of Wayne county. I believe that
our county has been penalized by
other sections of the state, and I
propose to work for the equaliza-
tin of benefits and duties.
3. Business methods in affairs
of government and legislation.
4. Abolition of wasteful meth-
ods wherever practiced. This is
not time to waste manpower, ma-
terial, or money.
5. Full protection for the dear-
ly-won rights of labor, without
crippling or destroying industry
or commerce.
6. No tolerance of abuses.
7. No discrimination against any
citizen because of race, creed or
status.
8. Re-apportionment of the Leg-
islature as provided by the state
Constitution.
9. Complete representation of
all classes of society.
10. Regular reports to my con-
stituents.
164 Persons Arrested
in Paris After
Anti-Nazi Bombing
LISBON (WNS)—Nazi police
arrested 164 persons, most of them
Jews, shortly after the bombing
of a Paris cinema which was
showing the Nazi-made anti-Jew-
ish film, "Jew Suss," according to
reports received here.
One person was killed and 27
injured by the explosion. The
vicious anti-Semitic film, which
has been widely exhibited through-
out Nazi-held Europe, was spon-
sored in Paris by French Fascist
groups. Attendance at the anti-
Jewings have been small.
Meanwhile, the Laval govern-
ment in Vichy announced that
an additional 170 Jews have been
stripped of their French citizen-
ship on the ground that they are
against the Vichy regime. The
170 Jews, now stateless, are liable
to deportation to eastern Europe
by the Nazis.

of the state look to public spirit-

addition to Mr. Levinson are Jos.

Charles Hamburger, and many
other prominent Detroiters.
These men unhesitatingly go on
record in recommending the re-
election of Senator Prentiss M.

orship. Speaking for the group
Mr. Levinson said, "Senator
Brown has served in the Senate
with distinction and has shown
a knowledge of National and in-
ternational problems in these try-

tion necessary. His broad human-

Jewish Theater Guild Seeks Ways and Means
to Carry Out Its Planned Cultural Projects
In spite of the untoward de-
velopments which render the im-
mediate opening of a Jewish Guild
Theatre in Detroit unfeasible, the
executive committee of the Jew-
ish Theatre Guild is seeking ways
and means to project its planned
cultural program in other direc-
tions. A special meeting for the
purpose of hearing such plans was
called last week at which meet-
ing a number of suggestions
were presented. These included a
project for emphasizing the dra-
matic school, a plan to enlarge
the scope of the public lecture and
seminar forum, and a program
whereby amateur talent would be
employed for a weekly dramatic
performance.
A committee was named to ex-
amine the feasibility of these as
well as to seek out other possi-
bilities for a program for the
Jewish Theatre Guild to follow.
Max Holtzman is serving as chair-
man, and is assisted by Gerson
Chertoff, Mrs. Sarah Friedman,
Benjamin L. Laikin, I. A. Lieb-
son and Jacob Margolis. They
will present their findings at a
membership meeting to he called
shortly.
In a statement made by the
executive committee it was de-
Glared that it would seem most
unnatural for the Hebrew Actors'
Union to insist upon its mono-
polistic demands which it has nev.
er made of any privately-owned
theatre. The Jewish Theatre
Guild acquiesced to all the terms
of the union, including a season
of guaranteed wages, yet it was
not successful in coming to terms
on two points, i.e. the right of the
Jewish Theatre Guild to employ a
producer of its own choice and
to hire such non-union members
as are required in order hi round
out a cast of qualified and artis-
tically capable artists, a matter
which the union may not be able
to supply. In an effort to be both
objective and non-partisan the
Jewish Theatre Guild proposed
submitting the question to an im-
partial committee for decision, but
this suggestion was rejected by
the union. Until such time there-
fore as their policy will undergo
a change, the Jewish Theatre
Guild of Detroit must po,tpone
its plans which were conccived to
benefit not only the Detre't Jew-
ish Community, but liken the
'Jewish artists and actors in this
country who seek an ou ■ ;,.t for
their creative talents.
Girls Seek Rides
Women's Sabbath League
Makes Plans for Year
To Fort Custer
Every week-end a group of in-
dependent Jewish girls have been
going to Battle Creek, to do their
bit towards entertaining the sol-
diers at Fort Custer. They al-
ways make it a point to also visit
the hospital and distribute gifts
to the men who are confined at
the fort hospital.
Transportation is quite a prob-
lem, and the girls would appre-
ciate a ride to Battle Creek by
anyone driving to the fort. They
can be reached by caling Town-
send 5-7836.
In an attempt to brine back
the Sabbath to its rightli.• posi-
tion in the lives of Detroit . - Jo'
