Meeting for the first time since 1939, the Congress will he called upon to make major political de- cisions affecting the future and fate of the Jewish Homeland. It is for this reason that each Shekel holder should exercise the franchise to which he is entitled by virtue of possession of the Shekel, the small blue certificate which most members of the local Jewish community have received during the past week. Despite a rather heated propa- ganda campaign engaged in by several of the smaller parties, it is acknowledged by most respon- sible Zionists, and recognized by the masses of American Jews that the Zionist Organization of Amer- ica and its leadership have carried the brunt of the political respon- sibility in this country. Accord- ingly, it is vital that a tremendous popular vote be registered for the Z.O.A. to buttress its prestige and to fortify its leadership in the ad. ditional tasks which lie ahead. The objective, conscientious vot- er, moved only by consideration.; of the hest interests of the move- ment, should have little difficulty deciding which group merits his support merely by perusing the lists of candidates. Heading the Z.O.A. slate ars e such men as Dr. Abba Hillel Silver, Louis Lipsky, Dr. Emanuel Neumann, Judge Morris Rothenberg, Dr. Israel Goldstein, Judge Louis E. Levin- that, Daniel Frisch and others equally as well known in Zionist leadership. Detroit Zionists on the Z.O.A. slate are Rabbi Leon Fram, Mr. Lawrence Crohn and Mr. Leon Kay. From the point of view of Zion- 1st relations with the State De- partment, the White House and similar circles, the ZOA IS Amer- ican Zionism. To •fragmentize Zionist strength for small parti- san reasons, to scatter the vote among many parties for ideologi- cal reasons which are not under- stood by the general public, can result only in confusing the non. Jewish world, and in undermin- ing and weakening the powerful and effective ZOA at • a time when • it should have additional. compelling confirmation of the support it enjoys from American Jewry. INSCRIBES FATHER'S NAME IN GOLDEN BOOK Dr. Ted Winshall, of Penning- ton Drive, has inscribed the name of his late father, Wolf Winshel- boim, in the Golden Book of the Jewish National Fund in Pales- tine. Winshall contributed $100 to the JNF on the eve of Shevuoth in honor of his father's memory. Baird Stands on Record as Sheriff Drafted from a successful law practice to become Sheriff of Wayne County, Andrew C. Baird assumed his office as the chief law-enforcing officer of Wayne County when the affairs of the Sheriff's Department were in a chaotic condition and the morale of its personnel was at zero. He points to the record of the dept. under his administration as proof of the success his efforts have achieved. Today every divi- sion of his reorganized dept. is functioning efficiently and honest- ly and public confidence has been restored. Sheriff Baird's nationally known Identification Bureau was thrown open to the Army, Navy, Coast Guard, F.B.I. and plant protec- tion forces of the area, and hun- dreds of thousands of men were fingerprinted and their record checked as a result. THE FINAL DECISION ON THE ZIONIST ELECTION IS A POSTPONEMENT BY CONSENT OF ALL PARTIES UNTIL JUNE 30. Zionists to Hold Annual Meeting The annual meeting for the elec- tion of officers of the Zionist Or- ganization of Detroit will be held Thursday, June 20, at 8 p.m. In the Prayer Room of Shaarcy Zed- ek Synagogue.
