Friday. April 22. 1949 DETROIT JEWISH CHRONICLE Page Three STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL Ridicules Reports of Soviet Reversal on Israel By P111NEAS J. B1RON TOURNALISTS IN the Jewish and non- Jewish Jewish fields are writing with an all- knowing air about the change in the Soviet policy towards Israel. Rumors from "reliable sources" were circulated that when Israel would be on the agenda at the' • the UN, the Soviet representa- tives, yes, the very same' Gromyko, would reverse him- self and back the Arabs. And . the political columnists very mysteriously intimate that the Communist line has shifted, that anti-Semitism is rampant in the USSR and that a num- ber of Yiddish writers are Birott under arrest. One of the top- notch foreign correspondents seriously "af- firms" that the late Prof. Schloime Michoels, the Soviet Union's most renowned Yiddish actor was liquidated a year ago. * • * IF YOU ADD UP all the rumors, the gossip and the journalistic "scoops" you will find that the USSR has taken over Hitler's role as the Jews' public enemy No. 1.

Frankenstein Fellowships Spurs Junior Awarded 3 Mobile Teams AN ACUTE TENSION between American Jewry and the Soviet Union is being worked up, very skillfully and very effectively. That the Soviet government led the battle for the creation of the Jewish State, that Czechoslovakia saved the day for the Israeli army on the battlefield, that Poland stood by Israel from the very first moment at the UN,—all is forgotten. It is true that Hungary, Bulgaria and Romania have stopped Jewish emigration for Israel. The governments of these countries insist on regulating the flight of Jewish capital and manpower and refuse to be stampeded into a mass exodus. But this Very understandable attitude is being interpreted as anti-Semitism. There were many blushing faces in the press gallery, when the Israel issue came up before the UN at this session and Gromyko wholeheartedly backed Israel. pledges, bringing the total collect- ed to date to more than $40,000 for the 1949 Allied Jewish Cam- paign. Many of the 700 workers have already completed their as- signments. • An innovation in the Junior campaign is the mobile division headed by Sam Frankenstein. This division is composed of workers with cars who are cover- ing the hundreds of slips of pros- pects living in scattered neigh- borhoods from postal zones one to 31, Frankenstein said his teams are doing an outstanding job. The Junior Division, in addition to approximately 5,000 Junior prospects, covers more than 4,000 unclassified slips.
