DETROIT JEWISH CHRONICLE and The Legal Chronicle
MAN
or 11-11E WEEPY\
IN THE LIST of new Assistants announces by Prosecutor James N.
McNally is the name of one of Detroit's most energetic and popular
young attorneys, Julius C. Pliskow, whose range of activities extends
from the leadership of the Republican 15th Congressional district
organization to the chairmanship of Cub Pack 369 at the Jewish
Community Center.
Active in Republican circles for years, he is a leader in all major
party organizations in the county. But the activity which gives him
his greatest delight is the volunteer club work he does at the Center.
His interest in youngsters started
17 years ago.when the Center was
still on Melbourne avenue. Among
the groups he led were the "Cel-
tics", the "Revelers" and the "Sa-
tans," whose members today are
carving important places for them-
Selves in many fields. During the
war when many of his boys en-
tered the armed forces, he cor-
responded with most of them,
writing over 2,000 letters.
"1 am a firm believer in the
work of the Center with young
people," he says. The club pro-
gram affords boys and girls an
opportunity for healthful recre-
ation and study in their spare
hours and for group social
activity whose value cannot be
overestimated.
"I only wish that more Jewish
young men and women would
offer themselves as volunteer club
JULIUS C. PLISKOW
leaders for this important work.
* * *
"I HAVE FOUND that the Scout activities at the Center develop
a common interest that serves as a bridge of understanding In in-
terfaith relationships among the youngsters themselves and among
their parents and associates."
Pliskow is a product of the old Bishop School days. Born in the
lower East Side Dec. 10, 1907, he attended Bishop until 1915 when
his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Pliskow, moved to the West Side.
He took his pre-legal courses in Ann Arbor but finished up his
law work at Wayne University. He was admitted to the bar in 1931.
In December, 1939, Pliskow was named to the investigation bureau
of the Department of Statd but left in May, 1942 to become associated
with Benjamin D. Burdick with offices in the Dime Bldg.
He was married in 1931 to the former Evelyn B. Grafman. Dr.
Albert E. Bernstein attended the wedding and revealed this was the
first wedding to which he had been invited where both the bride and
groom had been "his babies."

THE PLISKOWS HAVE a son Daniel, who is 11, and a daughter
Elaine, who is 7. Daniel is a Cub Scout in Pack 369 and Elaine is
a Brownie in Troop 374. Danny studies the cello, Elaine the piano.
Mrs. Pliskow also plays the piano and Pliskow, himself, the violin.
The neighborhood around 3329 Waverly avenue often hears a free
concert with the Pliskows the entire orchestra.
Pliskow is a member of Temple Israel and active in men's club
work. He was recently elected president of the Pliskow Family
Association which is celebrating its 20th anniversary next month.
Other club memberships include Perfection Lodge, F. and A. M.,
the Consistory and Moslem Temple.
Mufti Spends $400,000 for Arms;
Merger of Arab Forces Is Refuted
NEW YORK (Palcor) — The
exiled Mufti, now a guest of King
Farouk in Egypt, received $400,000
from the Arab League, most of
which he spent to purchase arms
and ammunition in the Egyptian
black market, Eschnab, publica-
tion of Haganah, reports. The po-
litical tension in Egypt now makes
for a flourishing black market in
weapons, it pointed out.
Three Arab groups in Egypt are
supporting the Mufti, Eschnab
says. They arc the Moslem Broth-
erhood, Youth of Egypt, a well-
known fascist youth group, and the
Club of Young Moslems.
GERMANS AID ARABS
German officers are being smug-
gled out of prisoner of war camps
with money paid by Arabs in or-
der that they might be brought to
Palestine to train Arab military
organizations. Cairo is the re-
cruitment center. A number of
German fugitive PWs are now in
Palestine.
Other reports by Eschnab, which
predicted. almost to the day, the
escape of the Mufti from inter-
ment in Paris last spring follow:
Three Arab terrorist cells are
conducting a campaign of assas-
sinations and terror in Palestine
against prominent Arabs, who are
political opponents of the Mufti
and sell land to Jews or are known
to be other wise friendly to the
Jews.

ish Theological Seminary of Amer-
ica has been called for 8:15 p. m.
Monday at Shaarey Zedek by the
Detroit Committee for the Semi-
nary headed by Abraham Srere.
Maxwell Abell, Chicago lay lead-
er who has served on the school's
board, will speak on its $15,000,000

a university of Judaism with five

of the Seminary for 1947 has been
set at $75,000.
The committee here includes
Harry Cohen, Arthur Fleischman,
Samuel Brody, Harry Shulman,
Morris Blumberg, Louis Berry, Abe
Kasle, Irving Blumberg, Dr. Mor-
ris Burstein and Maurice Seligman.
Assisting the campaign are mem-
bers of the Torah Scholarship

The University for Judaism,
when fully developed, will include
a rabbinical school, the Teachers
Institute and Seminary College of
Jewish Studies, a school for ad-
vanced Jewish studies, a school
for the arts and a school for com-
munal service.

tan since 1926
and came there
from Poland as
a young man.
When he first
arrived, Mexico
Rolnick' had very few
Jews, he said, but since that time
30,000 Jews have arrived from
European countries. Stolnicki is a
manufacturer of filigree jewelry
which he exports throughout the
world.
In the city in which he lives,
Merida, are located some of the
most famous Mayan ruins of South
America, and thousands of tour-
ists visit the city each year. Me-
rida is a modern city . and has an
airport which is much more up-
to-date than Detroit's, Stolnicki
points out.
He claims that all Jews in Mex-
ico are wealthy and that there
is no anti-Semitism at all. The
average age at which Jewish girls
marry there is 15, and a girl at
20 is considered an old maid, he
reports. Most Jewish women there
have several servants because la-
bor is so cheap, he says.

Mexican Visitor •
Describes Life of
30,000 Jews There
Despite persistent reports of an
impending merger of the Arab
military organizations Najada and
Futawah, both are still the bitter-
est rivals. Najada's power is cen-
tered in the Aran towns of Jaffa
and Nablus where the organization
is supported and heavily financed
by anti-Husseinites who are seek-
ing to get control of a military
force to protect them against
Mufti-recruited terrorists.
GET U. S. UNIFORMS
The anti-Husseinites have placed
their people in key positions with-
in Najada and even if Najada's
readership comes to an agreement
with the Mufti controlled Futa-
wah, the Nablus branch at least
will never agree. Najada recruits
members among the Arab youth
with promises of a pair of shoes,
a uniform (from U.S. Army sur-
plus stocks) and a weekly allow-
ance enabling them to devote
most of their time to military
training. So far Najada has armed
about 200.
