Mayor Van Antwerp has pro-
claimed Oct. 18 to 26 as Bnai
Brith Aid to the People of Is-
rael Week in Detroit.
In a special plea to the Bnai
Brith campaign, the Israeli sup-
ply mission to the U.S. has asked
Bnai Brith to furnish more
trucks and automotive equip-
ment for the new State. •
The request has been chan-
neled to the Detroit campaign
which has been pushing its ef-
forts to boost its quota of auto
supplies.

"The enthusiasm with which
your shipments are received by
both the civilian and the mili-
tary elements cannot be overem-
phasized," a spokesman for the
Israeli mission told Detroit Bnai
Brith representatives when they
arrived with their caravan in
New York.
