DETROIT JEWISH CHRONICLE and The Legal Chronicle
Remember the name of Sonya
Kaufman, the charming wife of
Joe Kaufman of Manhattan
Beach, New York . . . She and
her husband are worth a whole
organization in the fight against
anti-Semitism . . . Orchids to the
editors of the Contemporary Jew-
ish Record . . . This magazine is
a must for anybody who wants
to keep informed on the current
Jewish scene . . . Isidor Lip-
schutz, the diamond man from
Belgium, is doing a gigantic job
for the Anti-Nazi League, having
turned his vast business organiza-
tion into what is virtually an
adjunct of the League .
Claude Williams, director of the
Institute of Applied Religion,
claims that of the 70,000,000
pews in Catholic, Protestant and
Jewish houses of worship in this
country, 63,000,000 usually are
vacant during services.
BOOKS AND AUTHORS:
Cecil Brown, author of "Suez
to Singapore," has experienced
this war at first hand . . . He's
been in a plane crash, he was on
a British battleship that was
torpedoed, he was with the Brit-
ish in Africa and at one time,
we believe, even fell into the
hands of the Nazis . . . Last
year he returned to this country,
and duly registered with his draft
hoard . . . And now that draft
board has classified him as 4-F
. . . Albert Kahn, co-author of
"Sabotage," is at work on a new
volume giving the low-down on
fifth column operations in Eu-
rope and Russia during the war
. . . Early in July Alan Chase's
book "The Phalanx" will he
brought out by Putnam's . . .
We predict a sensational sale for
this volume, which deals with
Nazi fifth column work in South
. David Ewen, who
America .
has written on many musical sub-
jects, has finished his boagraphy
of George Gershwin.
THIS AND THAT:
Score a bull's eye for Pierre
van Paassen . . . He predicted
six weeks- ago, in a public ad-
dress, that Roumania would give
herself up to the Vatican and
leave it to the Pope to arrange
for peace terms . . . And that
is exactly what has happened
. . . You have to hand it to Pro-
fessor Siegfried Kraus of New
York's City College . . . Feeling
that a psychological study of va-
grants—hoboes to you—should be
made, he became one for 18
months, living among tramps—
and collected plenty of material
. . . Eight new Jewish settle-
ments were established in Pal-
estine during 1942 . . . A new
outpost of the Yishub was estab-
lished last month in the southern
part of the country by a group
of 40 members of Hapoel Hamiz-
rachi . . . And you should know
that the influx of Jewish capital
into Eretz Israel during 1942
amounted to $20.000,000.
ABOUT PEOPLE:
The Chaim Weizmanns are
definitely leaving for England
about the middle of this month
. . . And that super Zionist Ex-
ecutive Committee that was to
be formed is still in the discus-
sional stage . . . Rabbis through-
out the country are mourning the
passing of Mrs. Hermine Deutsch,
widow of the late Professor Gott-
hardt Deutsch of the Hebrew
Union College, in whose home

of the late Mrs. Henry Mosko-

U. S. Maritime Service, and will

his 77th year—but he's thinking
of coming out of retirement to
take an active interest in Holly-
wood affairs . . . If your butcher

clude a tour of South America
. . . Henry J. Bernheim, a re-
tired tobacco merchant, is the
pioneer in a "new" method of
transportation through Manhat-

permanent, arrangements to have
a horse-drawn brougham carry
him from place to place for the
duration . . . Once upon a time
Mr. Bernheim had two cars, but
he gave them no months ago.
WEEKLY GIGGLE:
The French, cracks Winchell,
know what use they're going to
make of the wall Hitler is build-
ing around his Fortresss Europe:
They're going to use that wall to
stand the Nazis up against sonic
dawn . . . And that military ex-
Pert, Eddie Cantor. insists that
the reason the Allies haven't
bombed Berchtesgaden is that
that's where Roosevelt and
Churchill are planning to hold
their next meeting.

tion, held on Tuesday, May 25,

the American Jewish Confer-
ence. Very inspiring reports on

tural Group of Detroit, will be

Bnai David Religious
School Graduation To
Be Held Sunday, June 3
Graduation of the Bnai David
Religious School will be held
Sunday, June 13, at 10 o'clock
in the audtiorium of the Con-
gregation Bnai David, Elmhurst
and Fourteenth Ayes.
The graduates will discuss the
different periods of Jewish his-
tory. Their talks will center
around Jewish cultural accom-
plishments that have been handed
down to us, and which now make
us a distinctive people. In addi-
tion and in answer to the four-
teen talks by the graduates, Rabbi
Joshua S. Sperka will address
the graduates and the congrega-
tion on "Bikkurim from Amer-
ica."
Following the graduation, a
reception in honor of the mem-
bers of the class will be held
in the social hall of the congre-
gation.
j
man's People's Theater. Maurice
Schwartz, distinguished actor, will
bring his famous Yiddish Art
Company to that theater on Wed-
nesday, matinee and evening,
June 9, for two performances in
"God of Vengeance," by Sholem
Asch.
In "God of Vengeance," Mau-
rice Schwartz has one of his
strongest and most congenial
roles. This play, like Asch's
"Salvation" and "Three Cities,"
which have also furnished ve-
hicles for the famous star, has
as its theme the plot laid in
eastern Europe at the beginning
of the last few centuries.
Mr. Schwartz, who is admit-
tedly one of the greatest per-
sonalities on our stage today,
seems to expend and enrich his
talents with every appearance
here, and he has made many.
This time, as always, he will be
surrounded by a full/ flower of
