Hurdle Arises
in Career of
Joe Ginsberg
By FRANK BECKMAN
THE SIGNING of Frank House,
18-year-old catcher from Bes-
semer, Ala., by the Tigers be-
clouds the future of another
promising receiver—Myron (Joe)
Ginsberg, a Detroiter.
The Bengals paid house $75;-
000 and gave
him two auto-
mobiles, t h e
highest bonus
ever paid a
rookie diamond
performer.
Under the
special baseball
laws governing
bonus players,
the recruit must
Beckman
be 'brought up
by the Tigers in 1950.

Must Keep Him
I
HE WILL HAVE to remain
with Detroit thereafter as bonus
players cannot be optioned un-
less waivers are obtained from
all other major league clubs.
It is highly unlikely that the
Tigers will let House go, even it
he is slow in developing, consid-
ering the immensity of their in-
vestment.

Leading Batter
NOW WHAT about Ginsberg?
Myron. catcher for Williams-
port in the Eastern League, is
also property of Detroit.
At present he is leading his
loop in batting with a .325 aver-
age and is considered one of the
best fielding backstops in Class
A baseball.
Scouts say he is only a couple
of years away from the bigtime.
DETROIT JEWISH CHRONICLE
Building a New Nation
Young women, such as this one harvesting a prize crop of beets, and young mgn, like the
courageous warrior at right, are building a new nation on the ancient soil of Israel with the
assistance of American Jewry, through the $250,000,000 United Jewish Appeal campaign. Match-
ing the devotion of -the people of Israel, men and women in cities throughout America are
continuing their efforts on behalf of the United Jewish Appeal and its worldwide relief, re-
habilitation and 'resettlement activities. The global reconstruction operations of the United
Jewish Appeal are carried on by the United Palestine Appeal, the Joint Distribution Commit-
tee and the United Service for New Americans.
The Industrial Side of Israel
Shown is Shemen, the lista-
drut edible oil, cosmetic and
soap factory, which is play-
ing an increasingly important
role in the security and de-
velopment of Israel. It over-
looks Haifa bay.
Inseparable Friends
Israeli Bid Rejected
THE INTERNATIONAL Ama-
teur Athletic Association last
week voted 32 to 14 to continue
in abeyance the question of rec-
ognizing the Sports Federation of
Israel.
Israel's representative, Joshua
Alouef, walked out of the Lon-
don parley in protest.

One-Day Campaign
Scheduled for Oct. 31
These two orphaned Jewish
youngsters first met on a Nazi
death train en route to an ex-
termination camp in 1942. They
became inseparable friends and
after their escape were sent
out of Romania to Holland,
from where they will go to
Israel.
Artistic Career on 3 Continents
Not Recognized
LORD BURGHLEY, president,
told Alouef that half the coun-
tries of the world did not yet
recognize Israel as a nation and
therefore he recommended that
"the very delicate" question not
be settled now.
The U. S., through its AAU
president, Maj. James Rhodes of
Columbus, 0., voted to continue
the discussion.
Not a single detail will be
overlooked to insure a success-
ful SOS drive in Detroit, the
local committee promised as it
busied itself with preparations.
Detroit has set aside Oct. 31
as the date for its one-day Sup-
plies for Overseas Survivors cam-
paign.
Headed by Mandell L. Ber-
man and Helen Singer, who are
Detroit and regional chairmen
respectively, the group is expect-
ed to collect, sort and process
upwards of 500,000 pounds of ma-
terial.
The campaign is organized in-
to an "intensive area" solicita-
tion under the leadership of Nor-
man Naimark; an "non-intensive
area" solicitation under Goldie
Levinstein; a mechanical pro-
cessing unit under Theodore
Mandell; and a trades and in-
dustry group under Lawrence A.
Fleishman.
Doris Moss and Arthur Schur-
gin are publicity chairmen.
Last year Detroit raised 315,-
000 pounds of food and clothing
during its one-day drive and an
additional 100,000 pounds
throughout the year.
The Joint Distribution Com-
mittee is the parent organization
of SOS.

Bnai David Men's Club
Plans Picnic Sunday
The Men's Club of Bnai David
will hold a picnic, Sunday at
Middle Rouge Park. Highlights
will be athletic contests, includ-
ing a baseball game, and re-
freshments. The public is invit-
ed. For information call Joseph
Baker, Harry Pearson or Max

In recognition of its "high
standard child-care program,"
the children's department of the
Jewish Social Service Bureau has
been accepted as an affiliate of
the Child Welfare League of
America.
The league conducts annual
reviews of its member agencies
to see that high standards are
maintained.
"We try to maintain the high-
est possible levels in every phase
of our program," Mrs. Charles
Lakoff, president of the bureau,
said, "but we could not have
achieved this honor without the
help of our foster parents.
"It is they who translate what
our caseworkers learn about the
needs of children into the love
and affection that help the
youngsters feel more secure."
The league commented espe-
cially on the care provided 41
refugee children who are in fos-
ter homes under the direction of
the bureau or are receiving some
other case-work service. The
number of children cared for in
1947 was 130.
Anyone interested in partici-
pating in the JSSB child-care
program as a foster parent is
invited to call Miss Goldie Gold-
stein, TR. 2-4080.
The bureau is an agency of the
Jewish Welfare Federation and
a Red Feather service of the
Community Chest.

GINSBERG WILL undoubtedly
be called up by the Tigers in
the not too distant future, and
because he is young (20), will
probably be kept on the club's
roster.
But if Ifouse is as good as
everyone claims, Myron is des-
tined for a career as a second-
string receiver. . . . Hardly a
pleasant thing to look forward
to.

Wide acclaim for the first American exhibition of painting by Ernest Handel, held recently in
San Francisco, launched the former Viennese artist on his third career in as many continents.
Before the war Ilandel's works had hung in leading European galleries. After he fled to
Shanghai to escape Nazi persecution, he established a new reputation by his portraits ,pf
prominent Chinese, Americans, and Europeans. Ile came to this country last fall with the
aid of United Service for New Americans and the Joint Distribution Committee. The painting
of a refugee in Shanghai, left, was one of 18 oils in his inaugural American show. At right,
Handel is shown completing a still life representative of a new phase in his work, replacing
the sombre tones of his period of exile with blight and cheerful colors inspired by his new
lite in America.
