ORT Prepares 25
Special Mobile
DP Workshops
Emphasizing that he is prepared
to begin work in Germany imme-
diately upon his arrival there,
Vladimir Grossman, executive sec-
retary of the Canadian ORT, re-
vealed that he has prepared 25
special mobile workshops for use
in the displaced persons camps, in
a talk at a luncheon in his honor.
The luncheon was sponsored by
the American ORT Federation and
the Emergency Committee, Cen-
tral Board, World ORT Union.
Mr. Grossman left for Germany
where he will supervise ORT's
work of training Jews still held in
"assembly centers." He is a noted
agronomist' and author of a diplo-
matic history of Germany, recent-
ly published by Macmillan. In
Canada, he organized courses for
refugees at Ile-aux-Noix and,
later, the ORT Trade School in
Montreal. The school has now
been converted into a workshop
which is producing tools for Jew-
ish artisans, schools and workships
in Europe.
Before leaving Canada, Mr.
Grossman made a special broad-
cast at the request of the Cana-
dian Broadcasting Company, to
the inmates of the camps, inform-
ing them that ORT courses would
be brought to them soon.

HIAS APPEAL PREVEMS
DEPORTATION TO RUSSIA
The immigrant who runs afoul
of U. S. immigration laws and
finds himself facing possible de-
portation, continues to find a
staunch friend and effective cham-
pion in the Hebrew Sheltering and
Immigrant Aid Society (HIAS).
Time after time, HIAS is called

adays, literally new life -- to some-
one who, but for HIAS interven-
tion, would be put aboard an out-
ward bound ship and told never to
return.
