DETROIT JEWISH CHRONICLE and The Legal Chronicle

Debt Redemption
Celebration Set
By Bnai David

At 6 p. m. this Sunday, Con-
gregation Bnai David, 14th and
Elmhurst, will celebrate the burn-
ing of the mortgage with a pro-
gram and banquet in the Social
Hall of the Synagogue. The en-
tire history of the Congregation
will be reviewed. A feature will
be the opening of the Golden
Book of the Building Redemp-
tion, in which each contributor
will inscribe his name.
The program will begin with
prayers. Following this, there
will be a banquet at which Rabbi
David Graubart of the North
Park Synagogue, Chicago, will
speak on "The Synagogue in the
Postwar World." Participating in
the program will be Rabbi Jos-
hua Sperka, Joseph A. Block,
Sidney Gorman and Cantor
Abraham Gartenhaus.
Congregation Bnai David, orig-
inaly named Beth David, has
served Detroit Jewry since 1892.
Its present structure was built
in 1928 at a cost exceeding
$200,000. The present indebted-
ness of less than $50,000 is now
completely wiped out.
The redemption campaign was
conducted intensively during the
last few months. Spurred on by
its spiritual leader, Rabbi Jos-
hua Sperka, and its fourth term
President. Joseph A. Block, and
led by Sidney Gorman and My-
ron J. Solomon, chairman and
secretary, respectively, of the
campaign, the campaign commit-
tee was composed of the board
of trustees.
Congregation Bnai David has,
(luring this last decade, created
many activities. Among these
are the Chevra Ay in Yascov,
with daily classes between Min-
cha and Maariv ; the Men's Club,
e Ladies Auxiliary, Sisterhood,
and youth groups. The winter
Friday night gatherings have
brought to its platform out-
standing speakers. The Religious
School was organized to supple-
ment religious instruction for the
children of the members.

cist Committee. The meeting
was attended by leading Russian
and Polish Jews.
The fighting spirit of the • Jew-
ish officers and men in the Polish
Army now fighting on German
territory side-by:side with the
Red Army was lauded by S.
Duskeviez, a representative of
the Union of Polish Patriots in
the USSR. An indication of the
number of Jewish artists who
were slaughtered in Poland was
given by actress Eda Kaminska,
who said that of the over 400
Jewish actors in Poland only 60
survive.

7,000 Jewish Refugees
Serve in British Army

LONDON ( WNS) — Figures
made public here this week on
the number of Jewish refugees
in England reveal that 10,000
left the country before the out-
break of the war. Of the re-
maining 50,000 about 12,700
have left since the war. It is
estimated by Jewish groups here
that another 14,000 will emi-
grate overseas after the war.
About 7,000 Jewish refugees are
serving in the British armed
forces.
The industries developed by
Jewish refugees during the war
absorb more local workers than
the total number of Jewish refu-
gees in the whole of England.
Although Jewish leaders have no
definite information as to the
status which the government may
give the refugees after the war,
they hope that no drastic steps
will be taken and that a large
number of refugees will be al-
lowed to remain in the country.
They also believe that refugees
serving in the armed forces and
those engaged in important war
work will be naturalized.

Churchill Sees Ibn Saud
Aiding Palestine Solution

LONDON (Palcor) — Prime
Minister Churchill, reporting on
the Yalta conferences and on
his subsequent meetings, together
with President Roosevelt, with
Arab rulers, told Parliament that
he had "high hopes that when
the war was over good arrange-
ments can be made for securing
peace and progress, with the
Arab world and in the Middle
East generally."
The Prime Minsiter said that
Ibn Saud's "aid will be needed
at the close of the war in reach-
ing a solution of the problem of
the Arab world and of the Jew-
ish people in Palestine." The
Middle East question will be
taken up at the San Francisco
conference.

JEMS CHANGE POLICY

The JEMS announce a change
of policy in their meetings. Two
meetings a month will be held.
One, a formal business meeting
at the Book-Cadillac and one, an
informal social meeting to be
held at the members' homes.
The first of these informal
meetings will be Sunday, March
18, at the home of Jean Dizick.
The sports committee is plan-
ning an outing for Sunday,
March 25.

JERUSALEM ( Palcor) — Arab
circles here are now engaged in
a discussion of the Palestine
problem and have under consid-
eration a proposal for the exten-
sion of Jewish immigration into
Palestine for another five years.
This immigration, however, is
to be dependent on the consent
and authority of the Arabs, and
is intended to demonstrate to
democratic public opinion that
the Arabs are not oblivious of
the tragedy of European Jewry.
The immigration to be pro-
posed by the Arabs is designed
