New Shop Proves Jewish Boys
Are Excellent In Mechanics
In contradiction to widespread opinion, many Jewish
boys are mechanically inclined. And if you're prone to
disagree with this statement, a lengthy discussion with
Louis Moser, owner of Moser-Wayne Products Co., should
change your veiwponit.
Moser has started an experiment
on the human side of industry. He
is in the process of forming a cor-
poration whose primary function
will be to train young men in ma-
chine shop trades. Products which
{tile trainees produce will • be
placed on the market for sale.
Under the terms of incorpora-
tion, the present working force of
Moser-Wayne Products Co. and
those over 21 who may subse-
quently be hired shall constitute
no more than 20 percent of the
new company. The remaining 80
percent will be recruited from
among the trainees. Profits over
and above the maximum six per-
cent for shareholders will be
used for charitable puropses.
Of the 127 students studying me-
chanical trades, 86 are Jewish.
Moser's discoveries about these
boys are three-fold.
1. That Jewish boys are willing
workers.
2. That many Jewish boys are
mechanically inclined.
3. That many Jewish parents
wish and are trying to induce
their sons to follow the mechani-
cal trades.
Louis Moser learned the tool
making trade the hard way. As a
Russian immigrant boy, he started
In his profession at its very foun-
dation. His 33 years in this coun-
try have convinced him that his
ascension in this field would not
have been possible in any other
place.
He started his hobby of train-
ing youth in Toledo in 1927. When
he moved to Detroit 10 years
later, to be nearer the center of
the tool industry, he was eager to
continue this work. In 1940, he
secured the financial backing of
a number of Detroit industrialists
and set up the Moser Industrial
Training, Inc., a non-profit cor-
poration.
With the coming of the war,
many of the boys of the age Mo.
ser was interested in began leav-
ing for military service or for
higher paying jobs. By 1943 all
were gone and the program bog-
ged down. His backers were so
convinced of the worthiness of
his work that they refused one
cent of repayment of the money
they had advanced him.
Now that America is back to
peacetime production, Moser is
again helping those who "unless
they are fortunate enough to land
a job in their chosen field when
they get out of school, normally
wander into some other line of
work, which combined with sub-
sequent marriage and responsibl-
fly, prevent them from ever mak-
ing the break they desire."
When asked about the origin of
his interest in young people, Mo-
ser said:
"I have raised nine children of
my own."
The first sizeable immigration
of Jewish survivors from Shan.
hai, China, to the United States;
Canada and South America was
completed July 18, when 164 Eu-
ropean Jews arrived in San Fran-
cisco from China.
Terrorism- in Poland
Makes Life Hazardous
PARIS (JTA)—Jews in Poland
are afraid to leave their homes
after ten o'clock In the evening,
even in the large cities, because
of marauding terrorist bands,
Samuel H. Epstein, secretary of
the Trade and Industry Depart-
ment of the Jewish Agency, dis-
closed.
Mr. Epstein, who has just re-
turned from Poland, said that
Jews residing in the big cities
where there have been no Inci-
dents are as fearful as those liv-
ing elsewhere in the country be-
cause of the unfriendly atmos-
phere surrounding them. Jews
are pulled from trains and killed
practically every flay, he de-
clared. As a result of the Kielce
pogrom, even those Jews who had
decided to remain In Poland and
attempt to rebuild their lives have
decided to leave, Mr. Epstein as-
serted.
Barker Letter Slapped
NEW YORK, (JTA) —The Bri-
tish Government was asked this
week by the American Jewish
Committee to disavow tho letter
issued by Gen. Barker.
In a letter to Lord Inverchapel,
British Ambassador to the U. S.,
David Sher, chairman of the ad-
ministrative committee of the or-
ganization, stated that the "Cal-
umnous and gratuitous language"
of the order "resembles the vitu-
peration of Hitler. It is especially
appalling to hear it from a Bri-
tish official."
Answer to Goldberg
(Continued from Page 8)
back as the 1730's. With the large
influx of Jewish mass emigra-
tion to America toward the end
of the last century, this move-
ment for separate Jewish schools
has received its expression in the
founding of Yeshivas Etz Chaim
in New York, the prototype of
some seventy such schools now
functioning throughout the coun-
try, rearing a generation in a
wholesome environment which re-
flects the American Jewish scene.
These pupils are trained to face
realities as they will meet them
in adult life. They are taught to
understand, love and practice
Judaism, and to know, appreciate
and fulfil their obligations as
American citizens. Recently the
Conservative Rabbinical Assembly
and the Jewish National Workers
Alliance voted to establish day
schools of their own.
Detroit's Yeshivath Beth Ye-
hudah has made a unique contri-
bution to local Jewish educational
endeavor by providing in its sys-
tem for both the afternoon schools
(Yeshivah for boys and Beth
Jacob for girls) for some 75 or
80 per cent of its total enrolment,
which last year reached close to
650, and the day school (1st
through 9th grades) which offers
the combined Hebrew-secular pro-
gram for some 20 or 25 per cent
of its students. Experience in both
divisions of the school has stiown
remarkable results in the spiritual,
social and physical development of
the boys and girls receiving a
Yeshivah education in Detroit. A
small number among the alumni
of the Yeshivath Beth Yehudah
have proceeded to advanced in-
struction leading to the rabbinate,
Hebrew teaching, or other pro-
fessional careers in the Jewish
community. (It is probably this
group that Dr. Goldberg has in
mind when he refers to a "sem-
inary education," confusing it with
the Yeshivah training on the ele-
mentary and high school level).
The bulk of the students, however,
do not aim at "specialization:"
they, and their parents, merely
want them to grow up as intelli-
gent, loyal Jews. The educational
ideal of Judaism is expressed in
the words of the prophet, "All
thy children shall be trained in
the Eternal." For 2,000 years we
have prided ourselves upon our
practice of universal education
and the absence of illiteracy
among us. A growing awareness
on the part of American Jewry
of the need for reconstructing
these foundations of a healthy
Jewish life is evidence to our ac-
ceptance of fundamental respon-
sibilities.
Yours very truly,
Yeshivath Beth Yehudair,
Rabbi M. J. Wohlgelernter,
President.

"Do me wrong once, shame on
you. Do me wrong twice, shame
on me!"
With these words, Corporation
Counsel William E. Dowling is ex-
pressing Detroit's attitude toward
Michigan Consolidated Gas Corn-
pany's efforts to saddle upon its
customers the financial burdens
represented by an $84,000,000 pro_
posed gas pipe line.
He made the statement recently
in addressing the Securities and
Exchange Commission at Phila-
delphia, where the local gas util-
ity interests were seeking per-
mission to raise additional capital
for financing the pipe line promo-
tion. In public hearings last year
before the Detroit Common Coun-
cil, Mr. Dowling asserted that the
proposed pipe line is not needed.
"We represent the rate payers,
if foil please, the people who foot
the bill," he informed the S.E.C.
"Long ago we learned not to be
naive, and if I can just go To
the little homely philosophy, 'Do
me wrong once, shame on you.
Do me wrong twice, shame on me.'
"We have been wronged, but
not the second time. That is why
we are here."
Mr. Dowling cited the City's
controversy with Michigan Con-
solidated Gas Company at the
time natural gas was brought to
Detroit, particularly &a utility
maneuvering to compel rate pay-
ers to assume costs of adjusting
burners to use the new fuel. Re-
plying to Donald Richberg, Mich-
igan Consolidated attorney, he
charged that Detroit had been de-
ceived.
"We also remember the big ad-
vertising in the local newspapers
telling the rate payers that this
$2,500,000 charge for the change-
over cost would be assumed by
the Michigan Consqlidated Gas
Company—not a word in there,
Mr. Richberg, that thil would be
amortized with 6 percent to the
local rate payer."
Shortages of steel, manufactur-
ing priorities and regulatory de-
lays would prevent Michigan Con-
solidated from ehding the present
"gas shortage" at Detroit through
completion of the proposed new
pipe line system much before
1952, it is alleged. Meantime, ad.
ditional natural gas from the
Panhandle Eastern Pipe Line
system, present source of supply,
can be made available here next
year. However, Michigan Consolll
dated is refusing to negotiate fo,
additional Panhandle gas, accord-
ing to James H. Lee, Mr. Dow-
ling's assistant.
Anti-Semitism in
Slovakia Rises
PRAGUE (JTA)—As the result
of recent trials of war criminals
responsible for the deportation
and murder of Jews, such as An-
ton Vasek, former head of the
Jewish affairs bureau of the Slo.
vak puppet government who was
hanged this week, a new wave of
anti-Semitism is rising In Slo-
vakia.
In the Slovakian town of Tren-
cianske Teplice, a tense situation
has developed and Jews have been
insulted. It is reported that the
authorities have taken precau-
tionary measures to avert future
trouble.
Joint Distribution Committee
representatives here have proposed
to the government that it enlarge
the newly-established Nachod camp
for refugde Jews fleeing Poland,
so that it will have a weekly ca.
pacity of 5,000 persons. At present,
the camp shelters 4,000. The J.D.C.
has appointed a permanent staff
to take over the administration
of the camp, which is on the Po-
lish-Czech border. It is also re-
ported that refugees have been
flocking to other frontier camps
in increasing numbers.
