the show progressed in a rapid,
snappy manner.
To thin-haired Schlossberg show
business is old stuff. He enjoyed
his work in a Ft. Worth, Texas,
night club during his off hours of
Army duty. Ile even enjoyed put-
ting on plays for fellow prisoners-
of-war in a German prison camp
months later. Marvin still laughs
at how he put one over on the
Jerry commandant in charge
the POW enclosure.
This 25-year-old son of Mr. and
Mrs. J. Schlossberg, 3242 Calvert
Ave., was a first lieutenant with
the 8th Air Force. On his seventh
mission over the continent his
plane was shot down by German
fighters as it was bombing Gotha,
Germany. Schlossberg and his
crew bailed out and were taken
captive by alert ground forces
Because he had lost his dog-tags
and had a German-sounding name,
he was not segregated with the
other Jewish men. One day he
apprdached the commandant and
in fluent German asked permis-
sion to put on shows. It was
granted. In February, 1944, after
15 months' imprisonment, Schloss-
berg was liberated by the Rus-
sians.
Awaiting the results of an audi-
tion with WWJ, Schlossberg is
hoping that this will start him in
the radio field. In the meantime,
he continues his studies as a Lib-
eral Arts Sophomore at Wayne
with eyes on bigger and better
school productions.

VETERANS . . .
Brooklyn-born Solomon Bienen-
feld, son of Mr. and Mrs. Samuel
Bienenfeld, 1457 Blaine Ave., spent
more time in India than in De-
troit.
As a ground crew sergeant with
the 20th Air Force, he considered
his 18 months of CBI duty a big-
ger education than his year at
Brooklyn College. His history
course as a sophomore at Wayne
only augments in words what he
has already seen with his own
eyes.
Solomon doesn't believe in re-
incarnation, but he admits that he
steered shy of sacred cows while
driving down the streets of Cal-
cutta. "The GIs would rather hit
Explanation of how the Vaal
Hatzala rescues immigrants from
bad zones in Europe and trans-
fers them to better zones and to
Palestine was made last week by
Stephen Klein, head of the Barton
Candy Company, of New York
and chairman of the Immigration
Department of the Vaad Hatzala
for the past two years.
Klein was in Detroit for a few
hours on a business trip and he
took advantage of the opportunity
to address a few of the commun-
ity leaders who could be hastily
summoned. At the meeting, he ex-
plaitied how the Vaad is in a
position to give aid to persons 'n
Europe.
The major job before the Va td
now, explained Stephen, is to res-
cue children who were placed in
monasteries and Christian homes
and bring them back to the Jew-
ish fold. For this purpose aid was
given by the Pope at Rome. Th
Vaad now has 7900 children in
homes scattered through France.

have looked awfully tempting at
that time." In China, Bienenfeld
lost his appetite when he saw

while trying to kill his evil-spirit-

Solomon's parents moved to De-
troit in 1942, and it was on his
first furlough that this Journalism
student got his first glimpse of his
future home town.

BURT FREDENTIIAL . . .
Burt Fredenthal claims there is
a remarkable similarity between
being a supply clerk in the Army
and a pharmacist in civilian life
After handing out everything from
steel helmets to tent pegs at the
Amarillo Army Air Base, Texas,
20-year-old Fredenthal thinks he
should be able to handle the pipe,
magazine, cosmetic and fountain
departments of a drug store —
and, if necessary, even fill a pre-
scription. He will get his chance
when he completes his course at
Wayne.
A graduate of Central High
School, Burt put in a year of
"fighting the dust" in Texas' Pan-
handle. He was discharged at
Scott Field, Ill., in November of
1945 and entered Wayne as 9
freshman. He is a recent pledge
to the Pi Tau Sigma fraternity.
