Detroit Zionists
Seek Unity in
National ZOA Circles

The Board of the Zionist Or-
ganization of America, at its
meeting April 5, adopted a reso-
lution asking the American
Zionist Emergency Council heal
the split with Dr. Abba Hillel
Silver. The resolution is as fol-
lows:
"The Board of the Zionist
Organization of Detroit views
with dismay and deep concern
the existing rift in the leader-
ship of the Zionist movement
in America. The recent upset
in the American Zionist Emer-
gency Council and the emergence
of the American Zionist Policy
Committee have created chaos in
Zionist circles to the detriment
of the present moves to place
the Jewish case upon the agenda
of the San Francisco Conference.
At a time when Zionist unity is
imperative and when disunity is
tragc, we believe the rank and
file of the movement demands,
above all else, that personal
feelngs and personal considera-
tions shall be subordinate to the
great Cause which binds us to-
gether.
"Therefore, we, the Board of
the Zionist District of Detroit,
appeal to the American Zionist
Emergency Council to explore
every possible means of effecting
a reassociation of the Council so
as to reestabilsh an integrated
leadership which shall include the
best minds and the leading per-
sonalities of the Zionist move-
ment. Without attempting to
pass upon the merits of the re-
cent controversy, we earnestly
urge cooperation in the present
and future struggles which lie
ahead. We recall the effective
and colorful leadership of Dr.
Abba Hillel Silver and we note
with regret his absence in the
councils of the movement. Dur-
ing his tenure of office there was
a great acceleration of Zionist
effort. At the same time we
are not unmindful that the Zion-
ist situation needs the combined
thought and the best judgment
of all our leaders if we are to
gain our ends.
"We therefore earnestly urge
this plea for renewed harmony
and cooperation. We commend
the efforts of those who are try-
ing to bring this about and
pledge our aid to this end. We
also recommend that Dr. Silver
be urged to resume a position
of leadership on the American
Zionist Emergency Council in
cooperation with the other ex-
ecutives and members of that
body."

Asserting that the Jewish "race

declared:
"While I am President, the

"Our laws will protect them

our frontiers seeking protection
from hatred and persecution, will
receive shelter even though they
have not one cent.
"I hope the world will recog-
nize its debt to the Jews. The

WITH THE JEWISH BRI-
GADE IN ITALY (WNS) —
Plans are now under way for re-

When demobilized, Jewish sol-
diers will receive monetary pay-
ments from the Palestine Gov-
ernment, he stated. In addition,
they will be encouraged to ac-
cept homesteads if they do not
wish to return to their prewar
occupations. These homesteads
are now being prepared through
the Jewish National Fund, and
at the same time, the Palestine
Government is being urged to
open state lands to the return-
ing veterans.

Unity in Message
Spreading Poison T

NEW YORK (WNS)—Several
of the defendants in the abortive
mass sedition trial have been dis-
seminating anti-Jewish propagan-
da through a variety of printed
and mimeographed publications,
it was reported last week by the
New York Herald Tribune.
Mrs. Elizabeth Dilling, author
of "Red Network," the news-
paper said, is publishing a month-
ly in a recent issue of which it
was charged that efforts to pun-
ish collaborationists are Jewish-
inspired. The issue describes
President Roosevelt and Premier
Stalin as "stooges of Jewry."
The Herald-Tribune also dis-
closed that Charles B. Hudson,
of Omaha, issues a thrice-month-
ly mimeographed publication call-
ed "America in Danger," devot-
ing most of the articles to anti-
Semitism. The current issue of
that publication is devoted to an
attack on the Jewish Brigade.
It said the Jewish Brigade will
never fight in Germany, but that
it will be used in the Near East
against the United States and
Britain in a war by Russia
against the "white race."
Gerald L. K. Smith who, the
Herald-Tribune says, appears to
be well financed, is using his
monthly, "The Cross and the
Flag." to attack our allies and
all proposals for international
collaboration. Court Asher, of
Muncie, Ind., published an arti-
cle in his "X-Ray," attacking
Justice Frankfurter and "Jew
bureaucrats of the New Deal."

Jewish Services
Held at Iwo Jima

San Francisco Parley
Rabbi Fram's Topic
Friday Eve, April 20

IWA JIMA (WNS) — The
first Jewish services for Marines
of the Fourth Division were re-
cently celebrated here. The ser-
vice was conducted by Lt. Leon
W. Rosenberg of New York City.
For the first time in 21 days,
it was safe for Marines to as-
semble in the open without fear
of an enemy shell exploding in
their midst. The service was
held near where scores of land-
ing craft churned into the beach
with supplies. The site was the
Fourth Division Cemetery, which
now holds many hundreds of
American dead. An improvised
altar, supported by Marine lock-
er boxes, was the only semblance
of a "Synagogue" on this tree-
less, dusty island where thou-
sands of Marines were killed
and wounded.

Rabbi Leon Fram will devote
his sermon at the Sabbath eve

tions' Conference at San Fran.
cisco. The services will take
place in the Lecture Hall of the
Detroit Institute of Arts, and
will begin at 8:30.
Rabbi Fram will lead the con-
gregation in a prayer, asking
divine help for the success of
the San Francisco Conference.
The sermon will be followed by
a symposium.
During the Social Hour the
congregation will be the guests
of Dr. and Mrs. J. II. Curhan
in honor of the Bar Mitzvah of
their son, Robert.

Jewish Art Cache
Found in Germany

WITH THE U.S. 3RD ARMY,
in Germany.—A huge collection
of priceless Jewish manuscripts,
paintings and other cultural ob-
jects stolen by the Germans all
over Europe was found by the
Fifth Division today at Hungen,
10 miles southeast of Giessen.
The collection, which includes
objects dating back to the 14th
century, was the second treasure
trove uncovered by the Third
Army in three days. Gold bul-
lion worth approximately $100,-
000,000, paintings and other
treasures were found last week
in a salt mines at Merkers.
The Jewish collection had
served as the basis for the pseu-
do-scientific attacks made by Dr.
Alfred Rosenberg, notorious Ger-
man propagandist, against world
Jewry. With the collection was
seized a clipping bureau of for-
eign newspapers, conducted by
Dr. Berthold Guensche. Most
clippings concerned Jewish activ-
ities all over the world.
