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.

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. MOVES OFFICE Free Admission September 4 1942 Benjamin J.

Active in the Council in addition to Mr. Levinson are Jos. Holtzman who is treasurer in charge of campaign expenditures, Charles Hamburger, and many other prominent Detroiters. These men unhesitatingly go on record in recommending the re- election of Senator Prentiss M. Brown to the Senate and Murray I). Van Wagoner to the govern- 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- ing times that makes his re-elec- tion necessary. His broad human- ita•ian point of view will be valuable asset if and when the Senate will have to pass upon any treaties of peace that they will be called upon to ratify.

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' ish omen, plans were con oleted this week for the launchil•_ of a Large membership campaigi , dur ing the month of October under the chairmanship of Mrs. 11.
