Friday, November 3, 1944 DETROIT JEWISH CHRONICLE and The Legal Chronicle Page 20 COMMUNITY . (Continued from Page 1) Congressional hearings on this matter. All members of Congress from the Detroit area will be ad- vised officially as to the position taken by the organized Jewish community. Organizations were called upon to ask their Con- gressmen to support the measure in Congress. The text of the resolution is as follows: "The Jewish Com- munity Council of Detroit sup- ports and urges the establishment of a permanent, Federal agency devoted to promoting and enforc- ing fair employment practices, and recommends to all its con- stituent organizations and their members to urge upon their con- gressmen and senators to sup- port the establishment of such an agency." Endorse Lynch Bill At the same time the delegates also went on record in support of the Lynch Bill, H.R. 2328, which would make it unlawful to use the mails for the distribu- tion of "hate literature" of any kind. It was reported that this bill has been buried in committee for many months, and that ac- tion is now needed to have the bill discharged from committee and brought to the floor of the House of Representatives. A Discharge Petition has been in- troduced and requires the signa- tures of 218 Congressmen. Individuals and organizations in Detroit are urged to write t heir Congressmen requesting them to sign this Discharge Peti- tion No. 21 so that the Lynch Bill may be debated in Congress. Abraham Cohen, internal re- lations director of the Commun- ity Council, reported on plans for the special meeting of Council delegates and electors to discuss the work of the American Jew- ish Conference. This meeting has been scheduled for Nov. 21 at the Jewish Community Center at the request of the Detroit delegates to the Conference. ident of the Community Council appoint a standing committee to deal with this and other syna- gogue problems which arise from time to time, and which, in his opinion, would be the concern of the entire Jewish community. After some discussion, the mat- ter was referred to the executive committee on a motion by Dr. S. Kleinman. Joseph Bernstein presided at this Delegates' Conference in the absence of President James I. Ellmann. Following adjournment, some of the delegates remained to hear the rebroadcast of the first Jewish services from liber- ated Nazi soil, which was car- ried by Station WWJ at the re- quest of the Jewish Community Council.

RAID SETTLEMENT IN SEARCH OR TERRORISTS JERUSALEM (WNS) — Fly- ing squads of the Palestine police this week raided the Jewish set- tlement of Nathanya, named after late Amercian Jewish p hilanthro- pist Nathan Straus, in search for alleged terrorists. The set- tlement was surrender by a heavy police guard which constables proceeded to interrogate the resi- dents. Of the more than 650 persons that were questioned, 50 were detained for further ques- tioning. After the raid, the police is- sued a statement lauding the head of the settlement and the "loyal inhabitant's" for their help and cooperation. , The small Zionist Actions Com- mittee, representing the world Zionist movement, is mobilizing the best forces of the Zionist movement in Palestine to combat the terrorists, it was announced by the executive of the Jewish Agency. The Actions Committee also adopted a resolution protest- ing against the recent joint proc- lamation of Acting High Com- missioner John V. M. Shaw and General Sir Bernard C. Paget, British Commander-in-Chief of the Middle East Forces, in which it was implied that the responsi- bility for the terrorism in Pal- estine fell on all the Jews of Palestine and on the Jews of the world. Headed by the mayors of Tel Aviv and Petach Tikvah, a Jew- ish delegation this week visited the Palestine District Commis- sioner and demanded that he make public the names of the alleged Jewish terrorists who were deported to detention camps outside the country. The delegation urged that the Palestine Government make ar- rangements for receipt of mail, parcel service and visitors by the deportees. While promising that he would prepare the requested list, the District Commissioner stated that the matter of mail and visitors would have to be handled by the police authorities. was largely responsible for its collosal industrial, agricultural, and commercial development," Mr. Waldman pointed out that some countries — particularly Brazil, Cuba, and Mexico—have already seen gratifying evidence of the value of immigration in the new industries developed by European refugees." Mr. Waldman declared that "the post-Hitler immigrants in Latin America have brought in new skills, new merchandising ideas, new trades. Product upon product, from furniture to clothes, which previously had to be imported, are now being man- ufactured by them." The immigrants in South Amer- ica, Mr. Waldman continued, are thus creating a higher standard of living. This, in turn, is crea- ting increased markets for Unit- ed States exports. Mr. Waldman foresaw an era of trade expan- sion after the war for American businessmen in Latin America, an expansion, he said, "which these immigrants will have help- ed make possible."

Catholic Chaplain Waters paid tribute to Jewish heroism and martyrdom and lauded the many Christians who gave shelter and protection, at the risk of their own lives, to Jews hounded by the Gestapo. He told of a Bel- gian priest who had sheltered a rabbi in his home for four full years. He added, "One of the good products born of this war is religious freedom for all men." Protestant Chaplain Henry pointed out that "actually it is not so strange that a service such as his is being held on German soil. Nazism," he continued, "was never really able to crush the heart of man and remove his love for• God. The tortures and death imposed upon the Jews of Germany an4 the enslaved of Europe have failed miserably in their real purpose." Chaplain Henry revealed that "ninny services and holiday cele- brations have been conducted for American soldiers since we en- tered Germany. As conditions permit, I am confident that the Jews everywhere in Europe shall soon again have the opportunity to enter freely into their houses of worship. That is definitely one of the things we are fighting for and one of the things we are re- solved to preserve." The offices of the American Jewish Committee and National Broadcasting Company have al- ready been deluged with tele- phone calls and letters from Jews and non-Jews, many of them kin of American soldiers overseas, who said they were "thrilled" and "inspired" by the broadcast.
