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.

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 expansion program which envisions a university of Judaism with five divisions. Detroit's goal on behalf 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 Fund headed by Mrs. Carl Schiller. 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. with BEGINNING FEBRUARY 3rd TO. 8-5368 or UlNi;- 3.7793 \\\1 Detroiters to Hear Chicago Lay Leader Make Your Office Impressive The Opening of a Jewish Children's KINDERGARTEN fl A recent visitor to Detroit was Theodore Stolnicki of Yucatan, Mexico, who was the guest of his aunt, Minnie Goldstein, of 3361 Chicago boule- vard, and his brothers, Sol and Jack Stone, De. troit business- men. Stolnicki has lived in Yuca. 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.

ANNOUNCES For Registrationall 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.

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.
