ILYA EHRENBURG, famous
Russian novelist and journalist,
who visited Detroit 'recently, said
that all forms of anti-Semitism are
outlawed in the Soviet Union. If
study the role played by Jews
the Russian armed forces, you
get a better
idea, in part,
why this is
true.
Although lit-
tle accurate
data on the
number of
Jews in the
USSR Army is
available, D r .
AM Shlomo K a p •
lansky, a lead-
Beckman
er of the His-
tadtuth in Palestine, estimated
that there were "more than 200,-
000" in the Soviet Army in 1942.
This figure is exclusive of those
who fought Hitler as guerillas be-
hind the lines.
In March, 1943, the Jewish Anti-
Fascist Committee in Kuibyshev
announced that more than 25
Jewish officers were promoted to
the rank of general during the
current offensive at that time.
Several of these were among the
Soviet officers who accepted the
surrender of the Germans at Stal-
ingrad.
For excerpts on the bravery of
these fighters we quote in part
from the American Jewish Year-
book, Vol. 45.
"In September, the Russian
press featured the heroism of
Captain Moishe La4eisun, com-
mander of an artillery unit which
destroyed 14 tanks and 51 can-
nons, and annihilated more than
1,700 Germans. In October the
story was told of Sarah Maisel, a
23-year-old Jewish girl, who saved
Russian army units from destruc-
tion by risking her life to main-
tain telegraphic communications
when Nazi shells demolished the
; railway station where she worked
as a telegraph operator; of a
nurse who dropped with Red par-
achutists behind German lines; of
-Shoemaker who saved a Russian
battalion from falling into a Nazi
trap; and of Jewish heroes in em-
battled Stalingrad. In November
a girl, Gita Shenker, was cited
for her bravery in assuming com-
mand of a Cossack unit at the
Stalingrad front; after the Cos-
sack commander had been critic-
ally wounded, Gita telephoned in-
structions to the embattled unit.'
Next week's column will feature
the exploits of Canadian Jewish
servicemen.

THIS FRIENDSHIP WAS

made "somewhere in Germany."
Lt. Joe Braver was lying on an
operating table. -Shrapnel wounds
were biting painfully in his legs
and thigh, and ever a fellow
needed a frien , it was then. An
Army do for me over to assure
Joe that eve thing would be al-
right. Th " cic" looked familiar.
"Haven't I seen you someplace be-
fore," Braver asked. I don't know,
I'm from Detroit" was the reply.
When the lieutenant hit Detroit,
one of the first persons he looked
' up was Dr. Max Biteman, of 1981
Chicago Blvd., at this time a
civilian.
Joe has had 11 operations since
then. At present he is at Percy
Jones Hospital, hoping that the
day of discharge is not too far
distant. His lovely wife, Faye, has
,the same hopes. She wants to help
him buy that coveted mufti and
then some ultra-modern furnish-
ings for their home at 4232 Tux-
edo Ave.
Lt. Braver, incidentally, won the
Silver Star for bravery in action.

DETROIT JEWISH CHRONICLE and The Legal Chronicle

Rotold f0s' Remold else Team

With Phil Rothschild

A hush had fallen over the
packed Lee 'n' Eddies nite spot . .
the lights were dimmed . . the
spot light outlined handsome Doug
Ryan, vocalist with Artie Field's
band, who began to sing,
"An ordinary G.I. was Pvt. Rob-
ert Rafelson,
An ordinary friendly guy was
Pvt. Rafelson,
He fought for freedom, and
died for freedom .. ."
As the song progressed . . . han-
kies began to dab at moist eyes,
slight coughs tried to erase lumps
that suddenly appeared in throats
. . . for this sentimental song,
"Hallowed Will His Name Ever
Be" had torn into the hearts of
the jovial audiente.
Written by 25 year old song-
writer, Al Waterstone, the song
was composed and dedicated to
the memory of Pfc Robert Rafel-
son who was killed in the cross-
ing of the Rhine . . . it was pre-
sented for the 1st time at the
Post's summer dinner-dance. It
was truely a fitting tribute for this
gallant soldier and an evening
that will be remembered for a
long, long time.

PERSONALITY SHOT .
A twelve hundred dollaf cash
award was re-
cently made by
the Amer ican
Cancer Society
to Dr. Chuck
Friedgood for
exceptional
work in experi-
mehts on can-
cer with ani-
mals.
Dr. Fried-
good's research
Rothschild
consisted of ef-
fects of metabolism on the growth
and resistance of rats to cancer.
ous drugs.
It was only a short while ago
that this young doctor was award-
ed the American Medical Associa-
tion award for experiments on di-
abetes.
At the present, Dr. Friedgood is
doing work at the Receiving Hos-
pital in the Dept. of Surgery and
at the Wayne College of Medicine
dealing with new experiments on
quick fracture healing old age
patients.

Several papers have been pub-
lished in the Medical Journals re-
garding Dr. Friedgood's work in
the experimental field.
I had the opportunity of observ-
ing Dr. Friedgood's research in a
new breed of rats . . . a com-
bination of the wild black rat and
the white albino rat . . . with the
offspring being a 'hooded rat,'
that is . . . a rat with a black
head and white body. The rat is
valuable because it combines two
properties. It is tame like the
white rat and has resistance to
infection like the black rat. Many
laboratories are now carrying this
new breed for their experiments.
