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.

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.

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. Detroit Gets Set for SOS Drive Future Not Bright • • • Social Agency's Program Hailed Bureau Made Part of Child-Care League • • • 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. Friday, August 20, INS 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.
